I dunno. Sometimes I... Okay, I have a lot to say about AA ships and the fandom, but I'm not gonna get into that because it'll be an essay no one cares about.

I ship them BOTH WAYS for the dynamic because those two are just fucking awesome and that's how I tend to approach my other ships too. Also P/E would be such a dysfunctional trainwreck if portrayed accurately imo, but that's part of why I love it.Like, I personally don't really ship Phoenix/Iris romantically after 3-5, P/E aside.

Oh haha also ftr I love just enjoying the story of any media without going I SHIP IT all the time. But I like shipping things, aka toying with the idea of so-and-so getting together. AA's first three games are my favorite DS games ever because of the characters/story and no amount of shipwank is going to change that.

also the icon you're using is one I made--at withfireandiron. c:
