Ship Manifesto : Black or White

[ickaimp]

Conversation on the bus while talking to a guy about hippies.

Icka!: I don't watch television.
Guy: Ah. You one of those 'back to nature' types?
Icka!: Nah. Our tv reception sucks.
Guy: Oh.

Anyway, jheen and clover_magic have done a Kaito/Shin'ichi ship_manifesto *squeee*
Which inspired me to sign up and have been accepted to do the Hakuba/Kaito pairing. #^^#

So... obvious question. Why does everyone like the Hakuba/Kaito pairing? Or not like the pairing as the case may be. ^^;

[Edit] Okay, new question.
Hands up, people who like the pairing besides the fact that I write it ._.

Does this mean we're busted? >_>;;; <_<;;; (Actually, I do kind of like it besides the fact you write it, but not as much as the other one. ...mainly because I can't really explain why I like Hakuba/Kaito besides they look good together, are sort of rivals, friendly/nice taunt/banter, fun, etc. ::mournful::snuzzzz::)

^^;; Honestly, not sure to be embarrassed or mortified.

Busted!;;;

BE PROUD! :DDD You created a cult through yoru sheer charisma and many powers of sensuous persuasion. ;) ;)

(What the... I wrote a bit more, but LJ ate it? Ah well... I also like Hakuba+Kaito by itself after you introduced the idea to me though. I can't really explain why, which is probably why I ship Kaito+Shinichi more since I can actually explain myself. Sort of.

I guess Hakuba+Kaito mainly looks good together, but also they have a rivalry going [although not as intense as Shinichi+Kaito in my humble opinion; the intelligence range is not quite up to par so Kaito isn't seriously challenged/threatened by Hakuba]. The difference is that they're also a more "fun" pairing, rather than "sharp passion." They have less contrast to bring out the ship, but at the same time, they're also consequently more friendly and light in competition, banter, and feeling. Also Hakuba is less "raw" than Shinichi and more "lovable" in a softened, clueless (less angsty?) way. ...er, does that make sense? Less aggressive involved, so the ship is more slow... more sweet. And it does work. ...urm. Yes. Luff! ♥)
