What’s your opinion on DannyxEmber? (Personally she could do better lol)
Tumblr media
I've seen this ship floating around in the non-canon parts of the fandom over the years... aaaand my views haven't really changed that I find it pretty boring/overrated lol. Like, I guess it has mainly to do with Ember's character popularity on her own, so shipping her with the main lead guy was bound to get some hype (esp around those who don't like Sam/DxS as a ship).
And like... I mean I do get hero/villain ships have always been a thing since forever, but I just don't really see how Ember would even find Danny that appealing herself? She's a prideful rockstar chick who needs to have everyone chant her name to be powerful... and with Danny's inherent awkwardness/struggles with popularity, I feel like she'd ultimately see him as a dweeb not worth her time, ghost powers or not lol.
(*Not to mention that whole "hypnotizing Danny to fall in love with Sam/getting heartbroken being the only thing that freed him from said spell" thing and... yeaaaah imo there'd just be too much baggage in that for a potential relationship to work- 🤷‍♀️*)

regarding your comments on the ask about renga becoming canon, i think with the whole langa/reki relationship thing it really does depend on your age? like im reki and langa's age so i attached myself to them and their relationship because it was relatable to me and i can see myself in their relationship, but you, as someone who is older, are obviously going to gravitate towards the adults because they will be a lot closer to your life and experiences as you are right now.
(tho i will say i also was not expecting a renga kiss or them to become canon because i understand that there's differences in queer opinions and representation in japan and i can temper my expectations accordingly because you cant take the show out of its cultural context. i do think that there was enough queer coding/subtext in their relationship that it stands up to the test tho!)
True, I’ve said the same thing before, too, and we even joked how sk8 has 3 ships: pg-13, pg-16 and pg-20 lmao.
And while certain age categories usually can’t get attached to some, the benefits of being older is that you can in fact enjoy all 3. And while it’s true, that I totally gravitate towards more mature relationships everywhere, whether they’re adults or not, it in fact doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy the simple cuteness of Rei/Nagisa or Tanaka/Oota or things like that, which are nice to see and just warm my soul. Like it might not be the otp I’m gonna be obsessed with, but I can still uwu bc I’ve been in high school too, you know xD
But here it’s the storyline that I didn’t like. Even back in the days (lmao I’m so old, half way to fifty damn it), I never got the comparing yourself to others/jealousy thing, so I couldn’t relate to their drama, even if I tried and was in high school rn. It’s the reason for me not liking JC in MDZS, partially the reason for me not being into Bakugou/Midoriya dorama, too. I know it’s a very relatable thing for teenagers, but as I mentioned before, I personally just don’t get it. I never reacted like that to seeing ppl being better than me at smth, so I can’t relate. 
So I just didn’t care for their whole shananigans anyways, and I’m still mad that he didn’t even apologize, like I know his stans think he’s right all the way and Langa was the only one in wrong, cause he broke the promise, but I have my opinions on this and the hypocrisy of the fact that he also promised smth and broke his promise, too. If they wrote some stuff differently, I could’ve been into it, but they didn’t, so I’m just not impressed. So it’s not just the “depend on your age” thing, it’s also very much“depends on the story” thing.
Btw when I gifted my mom the set of MDZS books, we started talking and we got to this thing and I was like “heck why I hate those jealous storylines so much? did you do smth?”, cause I literally do not understand why would you want to be like someone else, when you can be you, or do smth in your own way and I esp get annoyed when they hurt the person they’re jealous of, nevermind the fact that he loves them, cause who cares, look at me, pity me, praise me, cause I don’t love myself. And she said “you can laugh, but I actually did, and you might not remember, but when we lived together back in our old apartment, I even hang on the wall some damn wise poem smth about “don’t get jealous of someone who can play the flute so beautifully, cause only u can be such great listener”, I was like “mom, I don’t remember this shit honestly, but whatever u did, kudos, it worked” haha 
But I completely agree, I think all the ships got enough gay moments, so it’s all fair haha. It’s definitely not one of those, where you’re like “but there’s nothing there” xD
And yes, there are a shit ton of hidden subtext there everywhere, but my favorite thing about Tadashi and Adam is the fact that they’re not really gay-coded, they’re just gay lolz.
And like while both Renga and Matchablossom got their share of lets water it down with heterosexuality, my ship successfully escaped such treatment, they never looked at boobs and in fact each time they mentioned marrying Adam off, they showed Tadashi’s sad puppy face lmao.
