hi dreamwidth user rhodochrosite i think your posts on akam are incredible... i was so happy to stumble across them while perusing your page for dream content because sometimes it feels like there's exactly two (2) akam shippers in the whole world (i know they're the most popular non canon dc ship. but still.) i love reading ship analysis in general because its really fun to see how other people perceive the ship dynamics i've built up in my head from the source content and my own perversions. your thoughts on akam were so genius and articulate and the term hostageshipping really describe them so perfectly..... if i had the time i'd just be quoting you back to yourself for days but i just thoroughly enjoyed seeing them through your lenses like rei really is the 0 ever... akam truly is so fucking sexy because rei loses to akai the time and still doesn't stop trying to have leverage over him. sucks for him but it makes me really hard so. lmao. i'm only talking about how hard it makes me because if i tap into the narrative angst and tragedy i will genuinely pul the trigger. dc is so fucking tragic for a show i was exposed to since i was like. 5. also i really liked your thoughts on shinshi! you're right they're the most romantic nonromantic pairing ever. their workmarriedisms and underlying tragedy is so perfect and hurtful. haibara clutching conan crying about her sister rewired my brain at age 8. haibara is my 1pick so naturally i'm biased and hate shinichi for being a dumb fucking teenage boy who will never pick up on it and do inconsiderate things to her feelings like saving her life and reassuring her and saving her life and finding her silly football player keychain for her to cheer her up and and and. but her unrequited feelings r so special to me because they add such an interesting layer to her interiority and their dynamic. even though i didn't like the movie 26 kiss in itself as a narrative choice (not that movie plot points matter but) what she did after surfacing (kiss ran to "return" whats rightfully hers) struck me really hard. she thinks shinichi belongs to ran unequivocally and that she shouldn't get to keep the kiss to herself even though it was just to save shinichis life. it still meant something special to her girlish heart.... argh.... my favorite girl ever... anywyas i forgot what the point of this ask was and just rambled on about dc because i never get to talk to about it to anyone... but really thank you for writing (the dc posts, but also in general because your words r lowkirkenuinely gold to me) and i hope you have a good day always.
(just as a side note, i asked you under a post for your cc archives a while back. have you gotten to it yet? this is no pressure, and of course you should only do it if you find you have the time to. thank u again.)

hi!! omg i am so happy to hear this i know exactly how you feel re the nonexistence of eng akam fandom, it really forced my jp skills to level up extremely rapidly so i could enjoy the wealth of jp fancontent out there but i found it very hard to engage with the eng fandom due to divergent views on their characterisations and dynamic. really glad you liked reading my crazy longform metaposts though!! akam is the bl dynamic of all time to me they were really created in a lab to be everything i want in a ship like the equal parts sxc superfixed 1/0 power dynamics enemyshipping and awful tragedy and doom closing in from all sides and the real true dragonphoenix love which is just over the horizon but not before The Terror… it’s so beautiful i could cry.

you understand everythinggg re shinshi it’s truly being coworkers is the most special thing in the universe as a fellow haibara onepicker it also pisses me off when shinichi is a stupid teen boy who doesn’t understand haibara’s maidenly heart but at the same time i don’t think haibara truly wants him to T__T also totally agree with your views on the kiss in black iron submarine like from a doylist perspective obviously it’s coai fanservice meant as ship fuel to vs shinran but it’s trueeeee that haibara cares so deeply about ran and shinichi and believes that they’re meant to be together that she will forever keep her feelings about shinichi locked up inside her where they can cause no misery or interference to anyone but herself. MY ANGEL.

ALSO I AM SO SORRY for not getting around to reposting my ccs! i have set up an archive dw which is currently both empty and ugly but i will fix it up and start the archival process this weekend 🙏 thank you for your patience and interest and for enjoying what i have to say!!
