Darkship - Blog Posts
TROPES/DYNAMICS I LIKE
as a com/darkshipper !
showed up one day x doesn't know where they came from
amnesia x someone they used to hate (bonus points if they find out and are afraid of them again)
brainwashed x the person trying to save them (bonus: they still betray them in the end)
hate each other but stuck together because of traumabonding
codependent addicts
father figure x traumatized boy (could be romantic or platonic)
dying x slowly killing them
catatonic x manic
on the run together
shy priest x depraved stalker
bully x bully (bonus if they're childhood friends) (bonus bonus for internalized homophobia)
the worst x hates them but feels obligated to stay because of an "i can fix them"
friends to lovers to enemies
trying to kill each other but they end up falling in love anyway (bonus if one of them is still forced to kill the other and it absolutely breaks them)
condescending x condescending-er
childhood friends but one forgot the other
I still think it would be called darkshipping because the dark doesn't come from what you do with the characters but instead what dynamic the relationship stems from!
i keep enjoying toxic ships but whenever i do play with my dolls and make them kiss it always ends up with me putting them in a rlly cute wholesome storyline
like i enjoy valangel content but whenever i do that stuff on my own its always like
"okay and the evil and wretched valentino...got down on one knee and proposed because he loves angel so so so so much and he would die for him!! and then they got married and had true love's kiss and they lived happily ever after!!!!"
this also happens with snowbaird and ushka and masacrik. i love the appeal of toxicity but i always end up making them an AU where they're happy LOL idk if that qualifies as darkship or what
This is EXACTLY what i do too i love when ships are toxic but i want them to have a happy ending too so they're toxic at first and fix themselves in the end

I FORGOT TO MENTION MIC IS LITERALLY MANGA'S TYPE. THIS IS WHO MANGA'S CRUSHING ON CANONICALLY (as revealed in the Ultra Analysis book), AND THEY'RE SAME PERSON DIFF FONT IM TELLING YOU
LITERALLY
BLONDE
SMART
EXTRAVAGANT
EXAGGERATED/SILLY FEATURE (HER LASHES AND HIS STACHE)
THEIR MOUTHS ARE THE SAME THEY COULD BE RELATED
OLDER THAN MANGA ( 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴 alert)
Why you (Yes, You !) should ship MangaMic !
/nf ofc
(or, alternatively, why I do!)
A passion passage by yours truly
1. Their similar personalities and quirks
Present Mic and Manga Fukidashi are super similar personality-wise. They're both loud and exciteable hip type guys, who could totally bounce off each other perfectly !
Their quirks are also very similar, both revolving around yelling. Manga's main issue is that excessive use of his quirk causes a sore throat, and Mic with his years of experience could help him overcome that drawback (or atleast handle it better). If nothing else, it could make a cute sick-fic !
2. Forbidden love trope
Mic is Manga's teacher, a Pro Hero, and twice his age. That sort of dynamic lends itself to the forbidden love trope. Sneaking away to empty classrooms, meeting at each other's dorm for "tutoring", or days out for "patrols", these two could get really sneaky !
Manga is 15-16, and Mic is 30-31. If that's your thing, that's already a point, but it can also lead to silly scenarios focusing on their age difference. Whether that be Manga being naive due to his young age or perhaps even Mic being out of touch with the goings on of the younger hero.
They're also both heroes, who are supposed to be lawful, so there's angst potential regarding the guilt either of them could feel !
3. Hero worship
As seen in Manga's casual wear sketch by Horikoshi (seen below), Manga is already a Mic fan, giving him a reason to pursue Mic romantically!
There's also potential in how Mic would feel being pursued so enthusiastically by a fan (or a student for that matter) ! Would he be uncomfortable with the situation ? Perhaps he would be totally chill with it ? Pleased, maybe ? And what about Manga, would he be insistent, not giving up when told "no" ? Or maybe he'd give up, but by then the seed's already been planted in Mic's mind. It's up to you !!
4. The height difference
Present Mic is 6'1", and Manga, owing to his speech bubble head, is anywhere from 4'7" to 5'3". A short king x tall blonde and handsome ? Yes, please ! This size difference can lead to plenty of scenarios. Including things like Mic having to double over to give Manga a kiss, or Manga having to scale counters to give him one back ! (Also, Manga being swallowed in Mic's hero outfit jacket. Think about it.)
And the final reason you should totally ship MangaMic ?
5. Because i do.
And it would make me happy [pleading emoji]

Profic Party Day Three - Your Most Problematic Ship
(featuring everyone's favorite fazacon)
Enji whos guilt consumes him and makes him enable Toya's bad behavior >>>> (prolly ooc but idgaf im balling ⛹️♂️)
No Text | No Filters | More Burns 🤤
this took so long, I'm finally free 🕊
If I messed anything up no i didn't. close your eyes
that awkward moment when u run into ur teacher-crush-idol outside of school (it was very much on purpose)
I wish there was more ANYTHING about Manga, but especially stuff regarding him being a fan of Mic. so much potential.
Guess you gotta be the change you want to see in the world _φ(𖦹 𖦹 )
Those chibis are both from the Collabo Cafe events, but since I couldn't find any high-quality versions, I just traced over em to upscale em
I'm GOING to make MangaMic a ship even if it kills me !!
Little edit beneath the readmore !!
In a just world, Mic, Manga, and Koda would've interned together, but I guess Horikoshi knew they'd be too powerful
(or teachers aren't allowed to handle internships IDK)
How Each of My (Favorite) OCs Would Feel Dating A Shota/Loli! (Warning: NSFW Mentions.)
ᴅᴀᴍɪᴀɴ ʟᴏᴘᴇᴢ: -Would date an adult shota/loli -Worried for their safety all the time, a bit protective, but more like a frazzled cat desperately chasing after a hyper kitten -Will act like a father figure for his lil schmookum... Especially if they age regress because THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BABY!!!! -Would probably feel too guilty to get nsfw with his loli/shota partner, even though they're over 18, which may ruin the relationship a bit if his partner isn't asexual ᴏᴡᴇɴ ʟᴏᴘᴇᴢ -You'd only get him to date a loli if it was a loli version of his dead gf of whom he loves to necro. He's a freak like that. Someone get his older brother to rub off on him more so he's more Normal. Or get his older brother to rub something else on him. What? Sorry, it's my demons. ᴅʀ. ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀ -His life has been HELL since his wife died he totally needs a loli in his life... Especially since his kid died too and he needs to kill two birds in one stone -If this is before Talkie gets with Damian, he'd be super overprotective and insist that his loli gf NEVER go near Talkie because Talkie is batshit insane and also awful. If this is after, he'd allow Talkie to be near her... With Damian supervision... -He'd also only go for a loli over 18 -He's the type to carry his loli gf to the tub and get a bubble bath and just sit there by the tub and admire her pretty and perky and beautiful youthful body... -They could convince him to have sex on like a 1-off occasion one time if both of them were extremely desperate to have kids. This man had to be with his late wife for nearly 10 years before they banged but he's like..fertile enough to knock up women one-try so it's not a big bother to him. He's asexual but wants babies.. But if he has a loli gf.. No need for baby.... He can just baby her... ᴛᴀʟᴋɪᴇ -Oh he'd so guro the loli/shota pookie he WOULD -He's honestly awful and the only person he has not absolutely been awful to is Damian -He's perfect for whump fics in this regard ꜱᴛᴀʀᴋʟᴇʏ ᴄᴏʀʀɪɢᴀɴ -What do you mean... He IS the shota. -If he were to be in a Shota x Shota relationship he'd dominate though -Not just NSFW, he'd take the lead in all activities. Bros just like that ʀɪᴀɴ ᴇᴠᴇʀꜰᴏʀʀᴇꜱᴛ -Depends if it's pre-campaign him or not. (yes he is a dnd oc...) -Cuz pre-campaign him was a racist asshole towards everyone around him because he was naive and thought 'this one tiefling was awful to me so all of the other races are awful yes' so he was super close minded and wouldn't even think of dating a loli or a shota -Post-campaign him after he learns that just because one dude is Awful doesn't mean everyone else is would def be all sweet and doting to a loli/shota partner though -Although he'd have to date a loli or shota over 18 because. listen man his entire character arc is 'just because this one guy was a ephebophile doesn't mean that everyone is' and him going after an underage loli or shota just. would not make sense. -Additionally taking care of a loli would remind him of his dead daughter and he'd be fiercely overprotective ʟᴇᴡɪꜱ ᴛʀᴇᴊᴏ -If he somehow escaped from the shota that sexually harasses him and walked into a relationship with another shota or loli that would be devastating for him... you mean to tell me he was harassed for like 10 years by this one dude who he met as a Little Guy and as the Little Guy grew up he got increasingly more toxic and Lewis had to escape from him by basically throwing him at another fat depressed man and saying "THIS IS YOURS NOW!!!" only to turn around and probably get harassed by a different loli/shota -Whumpbait man -yess mwahahah get trapped in a room full of shotas who want you... Surely no dubcon will occur...
i want a fandom for my oc’s so fkn bad !!!! but i’m not like those people afraid it would “get ruined by proshippers” NO!!! let me see what darkships you come up with pleaseeee AAAUHHGHFHHAAAAAAAA (;*△*;)
fnaf
why is there so little original williz work?? most of it is just reposts of hadinks work, which is fine but also like come up with something yourself instead of posting someone elses old art PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU GUYS I NEED MORE WILLIZ CONTENT
I really adore the proship darkshippers/darkfic creators who go out of the canon and interpret characters however the hell they want to. The ones who are feral about it and either make an already villainous character worse or make a canonically heroic or innocent character batshit insane. I'm saying all of this for a reason, it's fun and interesting, and I'm actually really interested in knowing what you guys do to make your favorite characters or ships worse too, if you do that, that is. This is a safe space to rant about all the interesting and creative thoughts you have about that; the what ifs, the complexities, the alternate universes, the dark gruesome gut wrenchingly vile scenarios, etc; I'd like to hear all about it. No matter if it 'fits canon' or not. It's so cool to see how people interpret characters compared to their canon sources. There's no limit to what your mind can come up with and I want you all to have the space to jot it down and tell someone about it. The creativity and imagination you guys hold will always be appreciated whether you know it or not.
Also, if you're a proshipper who doesn't indulge in dark fiction feel free to still do the same with this post, it absolutely does not need to be dark and gruesome to be written and expressed. I'll be interested either way to see your own interpretations of things. Make them worse, make them better, change them into something completely different, put them in any scenario you want- good, bad, sweet and fluffy or whump and pure angst or a complex mix of both, turn them into a completely unrecognizable celestial being even though they're canonically just some average joe, have fun and do whatever you want forever.
If pro-ship and dark-ship aren't the same why do you say pro-ship should not correlate to your views irl in your pinned, are you saying you shouldn't be anti-harassment irl?? Genuine question btw I don't understand.
Hi anon, I'm glad you asked, I felt like I needed to elaborate on that more since I started to realize it could cause some confusion/misunderstandings oops 😭 What I mean by saying that, is that when you are proship, you are aware that every ship deserves to exist in fiction, whether or not it's something you like, right? But I'm saying that shouldn't translate to what you believe should be okay to exist IRL, as in you know, for example, incest ships are okay to exist in fiction because it's fictional, no real person is being hurt, and though maybe it's not your cup of tea, you'll just block it and move on knowing it's okay for it to exist in it's fictional realm. But you shouldn't believe it's okay for that sort of relationship to exist in real life. I'm sure most people know this, y'know, but just in case. I see a lot of people who only think things shouldn't exist for the simple fact it disgusts them or makes them 'cringe' and it's to the point those things shouldn't exist IRL because it causes harm to real people, so if someone happens to not be disgusted by that kind of relationship IRL, maybe because they know it's okay it exists in fiction, and decides it's okay for that relationship to exist IRL just as much as it's okay for it to exist in fiction, then that's just not something I can agree with, so I put that disclaimer so people know right off the bat that everything I'm supportive of in dark fiction does not correlate to what I see as acceptable IRL, plus proship and profiction is purely for fiction in this regard- everything deserves to exist in fiction, as it causes no harm to real people. Though, I don't go out harassing anyone of course, this is the stance of a proshipper; antiharassment, I just block people who have views that are too contradictory to mine for me to get along with. If I ever felt someone was at risk of doing harmful things IRL I'd report them as needed and then block. All in all it's just a disclaimer for people to know if I'm someone they can interact with or not. This isn't to say I'm just strictly against paraphiles by the way, I do think there's a difference between someone holding a harmful attraction and getting help for it and knowing it's NOT okay to have that kind of relationship IRL so they don't pursue it, versus thinking it's okay to have that relationship IRL and/or pursuing it (therefore causing a real person harm), but this part mostly ties into my anti-contact stance. I hope this all makes sense and if you need anything else to be elaborated on please do ask! I like to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible and am always open to explaining anything that needs to be elaborated on. Think of that 'there's no such thing as a stupid question' saying because that's what I believe in lol
Hi sorry I'm coming across some posts of people being confused if proship means 'problematic ship' and people misusing the term proship FOR problematic ship who call themselves a proshipper, I think I've even used proship as a broad term on my blog to INCLUDE people who are darkship, who are still proship, since I think many of my followers are darkshippers, but I've been trying to make sure I say 'proship darkshippers' instead to avoid confusion, but. Proship is 'for shipping', pro = for. It's anti-harassment with fictional ships, the idea that every fictional ship deserves to exist without the enjoyers of said ship being harassed for it no matter the nature of the ship and no matter if that ship isn't your cup of tea. Blocking instead of harassing if it's a ship you dislike and not looking at the content made of that ship but keeping in mind that just because you dislike it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist in fiction, things like that. Profiction is the same concept except replace ships/shipping with fiction in general, once again pro = for. Darkshipping/darkfiction (or some people use the phrase 'dead dove do not eat', dead dove being the indicator that the media has dark content in it) is the term used for when a ship or a piece of fictional content has dark ideas incorporated into it. Like incest, non-consensual sex, adult x minor/loli/shota, etc.
Now here's the fickle part. A person can in fact be a darkshipper and enjoy dark fictional content and still not be a proshipper. A proshipper does not NEED to be a darkshipper, they are just anti-harassment. A darkshipper can, let's say, like incest ships, but if they dislike minor x adult ships, and they decide to harass someone who does enjoy those ships and believe that minor x adult ships shouldn't exist because they think it's 'too far' or 'too gross', they are not proship. Alternatively, someone could be very uncomfortable by any sort of darkship, they only like ships that have healthy dynamics and never incorporate dark ideas into their ships, but they don't harass people who do indulge in darkships and don't believe in the censorship of said ships just because they don't like it (they block and curate their online experience to fit their boundaries instead of going out of their way to harass people who break said boundaries). That person is a proshipper. So to reiterate, proship does not mean problematic ship, darkship is the term you're looking for. Now, knowing how words tend to change overtime in communities, perhaps I'm wrong or I've stated some incorrect information, and if I have please correct me 😭 but if not, I hope this all makes sense and helps at least someone out whose been confused.
Just a reminder that 1. You owe absolutely nobody an 'explanation' on why you enjoy dark fictional content and 2. You don't NEED to indulge in dark fictional content for the sole purpose of coping with trauma/processing trauma for it to be a valid use of your time and attention. If you do, that's wonderful and I'm so glad it provides you with that comfort, but it isn't an obligation to be able to enjoy it. Have fun with it, and please don't let what others say make you feel like you need to explain yourself, or that you need to be doing it for trauma related reasons, because that isn't true. Okay? Okay. Take care now!
hi proshippers! reminder NAWT to click any links, they might be to grab ur ip, or to doxx u.
i am blogging this everyday
Hi proship darkshippers who struggle with moral OCD, just wanted to remind you that your fictional ships and interests do NOT make you a bad person what-so-ever. You are still a good person and the fact you don't go out of your way to harass people over their own fictional interests, the fact you don't wish harm on real people, is just one of many reasons why you ARE in fact a good person! It's okay to like dark media, it's okay to want to explore said media through art and writing and etc, your interest in these fictional ideas does not reflect your morals in real life situations. Repeat after me: You aren't harming anyone, you are not hurting any real, living person, by being interested in dark media. It's okay, you're okay, I promise. <3
Hi sweets! Just here to remind you that all of your ships are 100% awesome and valid and super cool no matter what the dynamic is! I love seeing the dynamics dark/comshippers come up with, the scenarios that can come to play and the creativity of it all, I think your mind is absolutely brilliant, don't ever let anyone take your creativity away!
I love bein a multishipper an a proshipper! It's so rad imaging all the possible pairings in whatever media I'm currently in love with 🪻⭐💜 Whether they're romantic or platonic, toxic or healthy, reasonable or a complete crackship. It's so fun to imagine all the possibilities ☺️
