Your gateway to endless inspiration
I experienced a thought the other day whilst listening to music. So heres my opinions on what songs best suit various valorant ships. This is like half vibes based and half lyric based
Yorunix/firewalker (Yoru x Phoenix)
Allies or enemies by the crane wives.
I know they're more rivals than full on enemies HOWEVER consider the dynamic
Nanobomb (Raze x Killjoy)
Sonne by Rammstein
I didn't just choose this song cuz haha kj german but instead i feel that the vibe of the song fits Raze well if you catch my drift and the line 'sie ist der hellste Stern von allen' (she is the brightest star of all) fits with kj being depicted as being the smartest in a room
Bitemark (Viper x Chamber)
Love story by Indila
ONCE AGAIN not just cus chambers french but i feel a lot of lines in the song just scream chamber for example "I will be rich and I'll offer you all my gold and if you don't care I'll be waiting for you in the harbour If you ignore me I will offer you the last gasp of life"
Reyge (Reyna x Sage)
Work song by Hozier
this is them and idc what anyone says "She never asked me once about the wrong I did" is so them I cannot even
Reyna x Viper
Bad idea by girl in red
Do I even need to explain this one?
Fadeshock (Fade x Neon)
Cigarettes out the window by Tv girl
You cant tell me that Fade doesn't seem like a smoker (also i saw an edit of them to this song and it is all i think about)
Fire storm (Phoenix x Jett)
I don't want to set the world on fire by The Ink Spots
Both of them have caused harm with their powers despite not wanting to they dont want to 'set the world on fire' they just want to be normal people (i am sosososo normal abt them)
Sage x Omen
(Dont fear) the reaper by Blue oyster cult
Omen is so used to everyone being afraid of him and Sage refuses to let him believe he's a monster
Wrote most of these on my notes app whilst being tossed round a boat omw home
Bitemark (viper x chamber):
Viper being closed off and wary of Chamber only for him to gradually work his way into her heart.
The moment Viper starts to truly trust Chamber she finds out the things he's done and the friends he's taken from her.
Enemies to lover??? no. Enemies and lovers.
Most of my headcannons about them stem from my belief that Viper has issues w/ depression and her mental health (this can be seen in a lot of her voicelines)
Reyge (Reyna x Sage):
wrong time and wrong place. (also immovable object x unstoppable force)
Reyna's long since accepted that her life isn't her own anymore, any humanity she once had slowly being chipped away by the things she's had to do just to survive ("I have lied, beaten, killed to survive. I will kill again and again if it means one more day.").
Hates the part of herself that wants Sage, she feels so guilty about it viewing anything she does for herself as inherently selfish.
Sage wants to help Reyna but she doesn't know how to get through to her.
Cyberowl (Cypher x Sova):
Would sacrifice the world for someone they love x Would sacrifice the one they love for the world
Sova would do whatever it takes to save his earth even if that meant having to let someone he loves be taken from him
Cypher refuses to go through the pain he went through after loosing his family before
Rivals to lovers
Sova see's the worst parts of himself in Cypher (they are incredibly similar imo even though Sova would rather die then admit that)
Sage x Omen:
"it's rotten work" x "not if it's you"
Sage who's willing to do anything to help take away some of Omens pain and Omen who wouldn't wish his suffering onto anyone
Fadeshock (Fade x Neon):
If you show me your hands covered in thorns I will show you my palms ready to bleed.
two people with incredibly destructive abilities trying to find any semblance of control despite knowing that's an impossible ask (control. the gift so many yearn to give you. the one thing you will never have. - neons dossier)
Firewalker (Yoru x Phoenix):
(A lot of my thoughts about them are fully just from how I interpret the characters from the minimal info we're given as well as cultural backgrounds)
SO SO much internalised homophobia, mostly from Yoru but a little bit from Phoenix too.
With Yoru it's more so a cultural thing with Japan being a very conservative country and despite skinship being more accepted thats more so between two women rather then two men.
(Also w/ my headcannon of Yoru being trans being with another man even if it's what makes him happy makes him feel like 'less of a man')
He loves Phoenix but feels wrong about it, like it's something wrong that he's doing.
Phoenix doesn't have as much of a problem with internalised homophobia (mans went to drama school and has two mums come on now) but where he was raised there was a generally toxically masculine environment (fuckin peckham)
I stared at my laptop for like 10 mins figuring out how i was gonna order this
Glalaxsea (Astra x Harbor)
A solid 9/10 overall
10/10 ship name
Very simple and very sweet
Nothing too interesting
forget the moon and the sun its moon and sea no i will not be told otherwise
(the moon and the sea fell in love but were separated and now the sea tries to reach for the moon and thats why we have waves is the story behind it btw)
Reyge (Reyna x Sage)
An easy 10/10
7/10 ship name

The fluff and angst potential is so good
Bitemark (Viper x Chamber)
7/10 ship

Yorunix (Yoru x Pheonix)
a healthy 9/10 ship
yorunix is 1/10 riftfire is 6/10 firewalker (which is what i call them) 10/10
Yoru is so in love with Phoenix and he is very mad about it
Phoenix is oblivious

Cyberowl (Sova/Cypher)
7/10 imo but its also one of my favs

THE ANGST MMMMMMMMMMM
get outa here with your enemies to lovers they're enemies and lovers
A lot of hatefucking im not gonna lie to you
They’re love language is napping. If anyone in the protocol is looking for Fade or Neon and they cant find either of them they’re usually away cuddling somewhere.
Neon likes to get up early to go running and Fades clings onto her for dear life because Neon's warm
It took them a while to get close physically (hand holding, cuddling, ect) since Neon was so afraid that she’d hurt Fade
Fade is fucking hopeless in the kitchen. Before the protocol she survived purely off of instant noodles, coffee, and whatever she could find at the nearest store.
Neon moves A LOT in her sleep so Fade usually wakes up to see her girlfriend half off the bed with a leg in Fades face.
Fade knows all the names of Neon’s teddys
Fade tells Neon stories about the stray cats she befriended back in Türkiye
Neon fell first but Fade fell harder
They take bubble baths together and one of them always ends up falling asleep
FadeShockStorm hcs:
Fade and Neon got together first but they both had a bit of a crush on Jett
Jett, at first, only thought she had a crush on Neon but Fade started subtly flirting and Jett just melted
Whenever they all share a bed Fade is in the middle, Jetts snuggled up to her and Neon is just sprawled across them
Neon and Jett call it their Fade sandwich
Jett gets flustered super easily and Fade finds it hilarious
It was actually Fade that invited Jett into their relationship (after talking it through w/ Neon ofc)
Whenever one of them is on their period it’s just top tier pampering from the other two
If two of them are out on a mission the one left at base will send the other two some spicy pics and enjoy their reaction once they get back
Fade got so offended when Jett called her mirror a weirdo and Neon had to step in and be like but u r a weirdo babe??
I just think they all love each other
(if you disagree w/ my takes thats swag nd i respect that)
Galaxsea (Astra x Harbour)
I honestly don’t have to many thoughts abt these two
they’re just cute and I love them
they’re both massive nerds and no one can convince me otherwise
they 100% braid each others hair
Reyge (Reyna x Sage)
I love them so much
They’re both so mother
Sage wakes up obnoxiously early (doctor things) and Reyna complains and drags her back into bed
Sage makes little trinkets out of jade (the stuff her powers use?? is it jade?? idk just roll with it) and gives them to Reyna
Reyna singing spanish folk songs to help Sage fall asleep
Reyna will whisper some raunchier comments in Sages ear just to watch Sage get flustered
Cyberowl (Cypher x Sova)
Cypher forces Sova to take breaks when he overworks himself (which is often)
They passive aggressively flirt with each other
Both of them are emotionally constipated
Cypher once called Sova beautiful and Sova could not think straight the rest of the day
Sova sleeps like the dead so Cypher will often wake up with random limbs in his face or Sova just lying on top of him
Viper x Chamber (i actually have no idea what their ship name is someone pls lmk)
Viper hooking up with Chamber claiming it’s “something to take the edge off” before falling hard
Chamber does something stupid and Viper just watches and realises she’s in love with a dumbass
Viper being in love with Chamber and being very unhappy about it
Chamber likes to buy Viper fancy gifts and Viper has no idea how to respond
Fadeshock (Fade x Neon)
Them both bonding over being afraid of their powers
Sleepy girlfriends
When Fade stands up Neon pokes in the side and gives her a tiny electric shock
Neon is besties w/ Fades prowlers
Neon once made dinner for her and Fade and Fade was so close to proposing after eating it
Fade wraps herself around Neon in her sleep
Nanobomb (Killjoy x Raze)
They both sing along German rock music in KJs lab
KJ once pressed her alarm bot to boombot and said they were kissing
Raze had never been more in love
They’re both really smart but so so dumb
They binge watch soaps together
Raze made a version of boombot that doesn’t explode and just wonders around base
KJ calls it their child
