[meme] running out of snappy titles [day28]

[jiyuuhonpou]

This question makes me laugh because there are so many answers I could put here. I guess I could have been predictable and answered Kyon/Koizumi, Shinagawa/Izumi, Zoro/Sanji, Roy/Ed, KakaIru, et cetera, but I chose this one because even the staff made fun of this pairings' popularity. Also, I hate one of the characters in this pairing, but in terms of the pairing itself, I don't actually hate it so much as I don't understand its wildfire popularity. Which is different from the other pairings that I listed above, more or less. -_-

day.28 - A pairing that you will never understand?

Shizuo Heiwajima/Izaya Orihara [Durarara!]

I don't get it. Really.

I guess it's because I don't ship people with people they genuinely dislike, or with people that are on a constant mission to destroy the other person's life. Izaya's been antagonizing Shizuo since the moment they met; why would they suddenly decide they like each other enough to screw? Shizuo was so pleased to finally find a job where he wouldn't be fired, and it was cute that Kazuka bought him all those bartending uniforms (long waiter apron moe~), so it really pissed me off to see Izaya frame Shizuo and make Shizuo lose the job.

At least Zoro and Sanji have a nakama bond; when shit hits the fan, you know they'll help each other out. That will never happen with Shizaya; Shizuo really hates Izaya, and Izaya views Shizuo as a pawn to antagonize more than anything else. God, I hate Izaya. (The only reason I ship Izaya/Namie is becauseI dislike Namie too.)

Don't give me this crap about "oh, you don't understand it because you're clearly biased against yaoi," either. I see Shizuo as asexual (seriously, a guy that awesome and no past relationships, male or female? He's clearly not interested in sex) but if I'm going to ship him with a guy, it'll be Kazuka or Tom. Hell, I read a Shizuo/Masanomi fic once and thought it could work.

TWO MORE DAYS:
# Day 29 - What ship had the best proposal?
# Day 30 - Your favorite ship forever and ever and ever!

I feel like my answer to every question in this meme was either a HELL YES or a SHIT NO, with no middle ground. Good job, meme creator.

I don't like hatesex EVER. Idk I prefer to think if two ppl wanna get it on, they'd do it out of mutual love/lust. Call me a romantic lol

The only thing I get from these two Ikebukuro denizens is pure HATRED for each other. HOW DO YOU EVEN PAIR THESE TWO UP I DON'T GET IT lol

the only reason why I don't absolutely hate Izaya is because HiroC is voicing him sobs He does that bastard's voice so well...

YES SO MUCH TO THIS. I don't buy into hatesex either.

With Shizaya, there's not even any signs of mutual respect/begrudging acknowledgment between the two. They just hate each other, pure and simple.

I can't stand Izaya at all but I can't imagine anyone else voicing him, HiroC does such a good job.

hatesex pretty much killed my interest for PruHun (well the english fandom did... at least the Jpn side is still allright)

I... think I'm going to agree with you on this!
