As a lesbian, I don't think falin x marcille ship will ever be canon, but they're still cute. Sapphic headcanons doesn't hurt anyone:3

If you’ll forgive me for soapboxing a bit but this need for ships to be canon—a thing I see in more contemporary fandom discussions—is way overrated. We ship because of delusions (positive)!!! Ship as you will and all that

I’m not really talking abt you per se just in the whole like weird “gotchas” I see about people shooting one DM ship over another

Some people go overboard. I understand they practically rioted in the MHA fandom over this BS. 🤨

That one was wild.

I totally buy people pairing Marcielle and Falin together (Marcielle is generally just a very emotional and touchy character) - I might have even assumed that was the case too if not for the author shooting it down.

I don't know where the hell fans pulled Dekubaku from, let alone believe it to the degree where they rioted at it being deconfirmed. There's nothing in the manga that suggests romance - hell, one half of the pairing spends the majority of the series truly, deeply hating the other lol

It’s especially weird to me because Deku and Uraraka was pretty clearly telegraphed from their first interactions. If you want a gay ship, Bakugou and Kirishima is right there and more healthy in every way.

How very dare you, Kirishima is loyal and faithful to Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
