In light of discovering I’ve been a friends to lover girlie this whole time. Here’s are my top ten friends to lovers of all time canon and non canon.

1. The ship that started it all admittedly I liked Raven more so I shipped her with Robin, but my god Robin and Starfire were cute a whole ass ship I didn’t even realize I was shipping until they kissed in the movie and I was squealing like well I was a kid lol. My favorite episode aside from the Raven ones were always the ones focused on their relationship. Stranded was chefs kiss. I’m not a girl I’m not your friend. Date with Destiny had me gagged. Sisters the arm reach as she’s kidnapped beautiful. No other couple will compare.

2. God when this was airing what a time to be fucking alive. I was so obsessed with this ship. My first fanfic ideas were about this ship. I used to roleplay this show at school. They were so fucking messy with their just friends bullshit. Just friends my ass. I used to watch episode 22 routine on repeat and yes I have it memorized they almost kissed then spent the rest of series pretending they weren’t down bad for each other. They never actually made it official either which will forever haunt me to this day.

3. This one crept on me. I didn’t realize I shipped it until I shipped it and there was no going back. I mean come on. The look of love is literally their theme song. What do you mean Langa only likes skateboarding when Reki is there to watch and cheer him on. What do you mean Reki is afraid of Langa getting hurt not himself but Langa. Cindereki need I say more. The most casual friends to lovers cause they don’t even realize till the end. I went to skate infinitely with you who says stuff like that to someone they’re just friends with. How they adopt each others love languages through your the show. Ugh.

4. Alright imma be honest. This one started as me just wanting to read more Itadori fics but my god. If gege wasn’t a coward they would’ve been official (jk mostly) but Megumi only wanting to live a domestic life with Yuji, regaining the will to live after Yuji says he misses him, not having a reason for saving him not wanting him to die, start by saving me itadori…yeah. And itadori never giving up saving fushiguro, first words out of his mouth are always fushiguro, tells Sukuna to give fushiguro back. I mean how could I not.

5. Might be too early for me to be adding them to this list but so far Momo and Okarun have all the makings of being just as great as Robin and Starfire if not better. Two idiots sharing one brain cell the way they actually communicate with each other, Okarun getting salty when people insult his wifey, Momo getting jealous when people flirt with her husband. Okarun straight up telling Momo he can’t read her mind but he cares about her and values her friendship. Momo straight up saying she wants to talk to Okarun and loves hanging out with him. I’m into deep and it’s only been nine episodes. First time I’ve been this invested in a straight ship in years.

6. Back to the classics with this one. And I’m lowkey starting to sense a pattern. Cause why do they all involve redheads in some way and do I have a type? (yes) Kim and Ron are the original boss wife/fail husband. They’re so cute cause if you rewatch the series there’s all these little hints that they always liked each other (it took you 12 stinking years to kiss me) (I mean me and Kim sure everyone expects it but) but like didn’t wanna ruin their friendship fucking cute as hell idk if it was intentional on the writers part but yeah

7. Gwen and Geoff from Total Drama Island. They had one episode together and I was a goner. Idk I just love my sun and moon motifs as yall can clearly see. Something about the black cat golden retriever dynamic just tickles me I guess. I know yall see the potential. I rewrote total drama island just to get them to together it was bad

8. Harry and Luna from HP. Idc he shoulda been with her and not Ginny. No shade to Ginny but I just feel like they would’ve been such a great couple. Harry with someone who understands him and will never make him feel like he needs to live up to the savior role and Luna with someone who will never judge her for being different or odd. Sigh. So much wasted potential. So stinking cute oddly doesn’t exist as much anymore sigh.

9. Birdflash. I will not deny a huge part of this stems from really liking Wally West and that’s pretty much it. And I wanted more fics about him. I did not like Artemis at all, no one else shipped him with Zatanna or Rocket or Batgirl or Megan so Robin it was lol. But I mean I’ve been eating since so I can’t complain.

10. Ok while I don’t like this ship anymore I can’t deny I was obsessed with it for a hot minute. Danny/Sam from Danny phantom so much freaking potential and actually really cute from 10 year old me’s pov too bad they don’t hold up as an adult. I was very much obsessed with goths as a kid huh.

Honorary mentions

Adrien/Marinette: I haven’t seen enough of this show to put em in my top ten but my god is it cute af sometimes I just need to cute sunshine’s falling in love that is all. I’ve seen enough to know I’m rooting for both of em. A

Jade/Andre: I was obsessed with the episode he had a crush on her. Also in canon he’s the only one she calls a friend, they have lunch dates, she isn’t ever mean to him not as mean as she is to everyone else. I think it’s be cute af alright. Plus Andre wouldn’t flirt with other girls and make her jealous

Tododeku idk yall I just think they’d be cute af together not much else say. Same goes for Mina and Bakugo. Idk I just like em.

Sheen/Libby very refreshing to see a black girl get a love interest and not be discarded later. Sigh too bad that hasn’t happened since like 2006

can also throw on numbuh one and numbuh five from kids next door for similar reasons above. As well as numbuh two and numbuh five

"the reason adrien is just instantly good at everything he tries is because he is programmed to be that way as a senti" aside from the fact that i don't think that's how it works (and also while he was decent at everything he tried with marinette he wasn't instantly good at all of them, and what marinette actually said to him was that he could improve in anything with practice but it was a great first attempt) did we all collectively forget about how adrien actually canonically isn't the best singer?

[necrotic-nephilim]

If you want to be bothered. Maybe this for dick and Bruce???

i ALWAYS want to be bothered these are always the highlight of my day tbh you're a delight for letting me just yap <3

Dick. For the canon isn't real square I am Specifically talking about the Tom Taylor Nightwing run. Usually I ignore bad runs but given this one is ongoing (though about to end THANK GOD and get replaced by Dan Watters who i have high hopes for since i adored his Sword of Azrael (2022) run but i digress) so I counted it. Especially since it's so debated if that run is bad or not, for some reason. I'm a 90s Nightwing truther. I love Dick so dearly and tbh recently I've been more enamored with him the more I read his Discowing era, I didn't used to be as big of a Dick stan as I am these days.

Bruce. Honestly where do you even start with Bruce. I want to fist fight him and also patch him up. He got me into comics and superheroes as a whole but I roll my eyes whenever he shows up in a story. He's a bastard and usually not a good father but also complex and should be dissected under a magnifying glass. I love him dearly. He's also just the worst. I think that's why I love him. I'm always a fan of unabashedly Complicated Asshole Bruce who's generally not always the best person, particularly not to the Batfamily and that being the driving force of his relationships with them, especially in shipping.

And for bonus points, Tim. Because know above all else, I'm a Tim Drake kinnie /deg. He's been my number one for a decade and I've yet to uproot him from my brain. He's literally the Worst half the time and I love him for it. And the canon isn't real refers to Tim Drake: Robin because... that sure was a comic. And that's about all I can say about it. Pre-Flashpoint Tim I miss you so dearly. I think it's fun that I want to put him in a blender and drink the juice but also want Nothing Ever to happen to him.

[pisshandkerchief]

yeah sure you have "niche interests", but are there only like 4 posts in the tumblr tag for the main character of your favorite childhood book series? yeah I didn't think so :/

[cerealforkart]

Hermie the Unworthy: Canonically cosplays the Joker literally every day

Me and me alone: omg he’s so Superboy coded…

[nenoname]

plus even though Word Of God (tm) is less reliable than in-media stuff... alex hirsch HAS said that stan has always needed glasses, but went without them for stretches of time because he wanted to look cool. so him having them as a kid in those memories is completely plausible. plus ford wasn't even conceptualised as a person when these episodes were made... he was only figured out while they were making atots. so those memory scenes are All Stan, Baby

yeah it's crazy that ford wasn't written as a character until he like. literally showed up lmao

plus even in dreamscaperers/nwhs/tots we have adult!stan constantly switching between wearing glasses and not, so i'm guessing the main reason we don't see it in the kid flashbacks is for mainly visual clarity to differ from ford when they're both on screen

but anyway people trying to make that one bit all about ford makes me sad cos the bond between dipper and stan is important to me!!! like have ya seen my constant posts comparing them lol

[idanielions]

Riddle Rosehearts' the type of guy to pull up glasses whenever someone shows him something from a phone.

Someone: "housewarden, look at this!"

Riddle : "hold on," *pulls up glasses and squints eyes*

A sudden thought I had in relation to my epiphany while thinking about the NGE parallels, but I'm starting to wonder if BB and BAT's lack of deeper plot is BECAUSE of their ages? Like they're so young, (Hitoya is 14 y/o at heart adsjflkasdjl;), so realistically why would they be involved in government shenanigans? But really, what I'm starting to wonder is if they're actually meant to represent the struggle of youths inheriting a world destroyed by the prior generation, a struggle that is pretty universal with the millennial and gen Z demographics globally. Like all they can do is survive the best they can with all the craziness happening because of the actions of the characters older than them.

i'm not sure if bat's there just yet, despite kuukou going thru some of that by proxy of being on a team with ichiro back in the day, but yes absolutely on bb's part lol, it's how they help hypmic's worldbuilding lol. bb also expresses a desire to change their world, but are pretty aimless about it for the most part, which you usually ascribe to youth lol

the block party tho shows ichiro's initiative to change the world and is also meant to show the hope for a better world adults (esp those in higher positions, like the neighbourhood president in bb's track) tend to push on to the youth, as evident from rei using this as a time to point ichiro to the real fight, and samatoki in his next appearance saying he understands the power hope can have. (hip hop was born from these high school kids throwing a block party calling for the end of gun violence that was killing their community. the block party is taking inspiration from that real world event)

bb and bat share a same writing beat where they introduce an ideal that's very important to live by in their messed up world and is an overarching lesson hypmic wants to impart, such as the need to protect your community or the importance of music, and i wouldn't be surprised if bbbat are in a more unique position to follow thru with those ideals bc they're young and without adult responsibilities, and that hitoya is there as the adult arguably with the best position to help them further along those ideals (bc adults need to be able to help clear the way for the youth too, instead of making it harder for them to change their/our shitty world)

Edit (colored): Doodle I did of a sick child Makoto refusing to take his medicine, because it’s just too icky! 💊💦

Yuma is losing his patience but he won’t give up. The top detective is nothing if not persistent with his stubborn little mini clone.

I based the toys he has with him off his other/beta mask designs c:

The idea of Makoto being an actual 3 year old child that Yuma looks after is both funny and adorable to me.

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE 😭😭😭😭😭

people on tiktok well on all social media sites actually will loudly critique the fact some people (especially those who only watched the movies) “didn’t get the point of the hunger games” and then turn around and say gale is the worst person in the universe and treat him like he’s a monster, and that all these traits are innate characteristics completely isolated from the circumstances in which he lived and the people around him. like girlie i think maybe YOU didn’t get the point here either.
