Wham bam. Here's Sora for rate 'em heart meme!

Drop me a character name and I’ll reveal my muse’s heart...

💔 Non-existent || 💗 Very low || 💗💗 A little || 💗💗💗 Hopeful || 💗💗💗💗 High || 💗💗💗💗💗 Maximum

about to make her get schmaltzy on main again. how dare you.

VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗💗 (purely aesthetic appreciation of looks)

"If Honey had a nickel for every brown-haired, blue-eyed high-energy golden-boy type she was wildly infatuated with, she'd have at LEAST two nickels—" yada yada, you get the gist. Similar to what's been said before: it's a safe generalization to say that Honey has a preference for the big-and-hunky types at a first glance, but that doesn't mean she isn't able to appreciate the fresh-faced, athletic, sprightly guys just as well. Sora is a gorgeous little man, and his very distinct style goes a long way in giving him high marks: from his signature, gravity-inconsiderate (and get still very soft looking) hair to the much belted, buttoned, and zippered fashions we all know and love. His expressiveness and body language also add to the overall appeal, as well.

FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗💗💗½ /💗 (how close a friend they consider them)

They had no trouble getting along since moment one, with that easy energetic compatibility which sees them at ease, laughing, and genuinely comfortable in each other's company—that alone, mind you, would land him safely in the high rating. What pushes beyond that point, (and what will be reflected in the final category as well), is how much Honey trusts Sora, because of his openness, understanding, and resilience. I'll actually save more of the details which factor in here, as they'll be better explored below.

SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗💗½ / +💗 (...you know ( ͡°ᴥ ͡°) )

The chemistry is definitely there, and they seem like a reasonably 'physically affectionate' duo, but, as is the case with most partners she develops a deeper emotional attachment for, her typical hypersexuality actually takes a backseat in preference of other forms of intimacy. It's in no way low, mind you, only a teensy bit less pronounced.

ROMANTIC INTENT: honestly like. 💗💗💗💗💗?? (hoping for a romantic relationship)

One of only... two? Three, max, potential partners/established relationships where I can confidently say they are past the border of casual affection and playful intimacy, and whom with Honey feels safe to actually settle into a truly "romantic," more "committed" relationship with. That she could feel comfortable enough to bare her whole self to him in the first place speaks volumes, but his reaction solidified it: he not only accepts and embraces both sides of her, but celebrates them. They marvel in and respect each others' power, their potential, and can demonstrate that strength without fear that the other will be overwhelmed by it. They are both free spirits, longing to explore and not be "pinned down," but all the same they're able to make the promise to be there for one another, to remain connected, no matter the distance between them. She gave a piece of herself to him, to confirm it, and he was willing to swear fidelity in turn. When he says that nothing could stop him from coming to her side, and that he wouldn't abandon her for all the worlds, she believes him—and has no trouble promising the same.

ship dynamic i really like

[aromanticduck]

There's wholesome ships and there's toxic ships, but I'd like to coin 'sodium chloride ships', where the individuals involved are both horrible and dangerous people, but somehow being together renders them surprisingly well-adjusted (if a little salty).

[theotherpacman]

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

guy who says "FUCK!" to every minor inconvenience x guy who says "oopsie daisies" to earth shattering catastrophes

[just-prompt-things]

best trope and you can fight me over it (i abuse this so hard with my ocs)

[p0rk-guts]

More guard dog/attack dog dynamicsss......

Character A who has B wrapped around their finger and thinks they're completely in control of their precious loyal partner x Character B who is way more powerful and aware than A thinks and A only controls B because B lets them but B definitely gets off on that fact

[litriu]

love this gimmick

[sangled]

shipping win! they have different but equally terrible coping mechanisms

Everyday Arguments - Rose-Tinted Comic

[nataliedecorsair]

My favorite ship dynamic, aka crème de la crème, aka horrible and inappropriate comics and memes with Hedwig and Vaughn to celebrate the Valentine's day. Yes, the previous comic was all cute and stuff, they had to start somewhere... but this post shows what happens when their true dynamic comes out.

Also, a honorable mention of Rhys. He gotta stop trying to 🐓block his friend and do his own thing. I bet @shroomthealien could help with that >:)

[bluemoonscape]

My favorite relationship dynamic in fiction is a worshipper and their God. Not a literal God, but their God. The only thing in the whole world that matters to them. I will live for you, I would die for you, I would kill for you. My only moral compass is You. You can do no wrong in my eyes and I will never stray from your side. I was born to meet you and to love you. You are the only being I pray to. Your life isn’t just my passion, it’s my religion. You don’t think you’re anything special but you don’t see what I see. You don’t see that you’re the only person who’s ever made me feel this way. You don’t understand how beautiful you are to me and I will devote my entire life to making you understand and accept it.

[ramblesamongstardust]

I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?

[messymoonmad]

Can we have more ship arts?

(How about the ULTIMATE ship art ?)

Happy (late) Valentine's day to the best couple ever

sometimes all you need is one passionate person who goes berserk for your work to keep you creating
