So, as you may know, I’m a multi shipper (with my favorite being bkdk.) I tend to care more about the story than the ship and different ships tend to have different types of stories.
I love bkdk because of how loud and dramatic the ship is. I love how no matter what emotion they’re feeling towards each other, it’s at 100%. Friendship, hate, admiration, love—it’s all so passionate and strong! And that’s just my favorite, or at least most memorable type of story to read.
Tododeku is also good, but it’s just a bit boring to me. It feels like you can’t really get a good conflict between them because of how good they are together. It just isn’t a very great story unless you change one of the characters (which I hate) or the conflict has to be external from them. Which, that kind of story can be really good, it just feels like something is missing! Tododeku is just more of a soft love kind of ship; which I respect, but it isn’t my cup of tea. That’s why I like putting them into more whispy, introspective, poetic fics, where the point is more to analyze.
Kiribaku is a very solid ship. It has a lot more room to grow than tododeku, but not as much connection as bakudeku. I think this ship can show different sides of the characters, but at the expense of any real conflict between the two of them, which brings the story down. It’s a respectable ship, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t just read it to see Bakugo written in a different light…
So, yeah! Here’s my usual late-night tired, emotional ramblings
