Bkdk vs IzuOcha: Why do you ship it?

To make things more clear- do you like Bakudeku more or IzuOcha more? And why? When did you start shipping it? If you ship both equally- why as well? And when did you individually start liking both pairs? No hate on the other ship! (I’ll probably make another for a few others- cause I’m curious)

I mainly thought of this cause- while Bkdk is decently popular- I’ve noticed that it’s not that popular on Reddit- and that IzuOcha is MORE popular on Reddit. However- when I see people talking about both IzuOcha and Bkdk and their reasonings- it’s kinda funny to me cause most Bkdk shippers I see will give a full paragraph and explanation on how deep their bond is, how well they compliment each other, and looking at every aspect of their relationship in every possible form. Most IzuOcha shippers give the most basic reason of something like- “They were supposed to be together since the beginning” or “They like each other”.

And no hate to your reasons at all- I’m not gonna lie- i literally have a basic reason for preferring most ships I do even though I weigh out the pros and cons of every ship- basically analyzing everything I can about them- Only for me to go- “Eh- I like this one cause it’s cute!” (It’s hilarious cause a ship could have the same pros and cons and I’d still prefer whichever draws my attention more) So I’m not hating on it- it’s just genuinely funny to me how most of the shippers are. (Most, Keyword:most not all, IzuOcha I run into are insufferable though- like- I wanna talk about our ships together and hear why you love it- not hate for others)

But- if you made it this far- congrats! Here’s my pick!!! I prefer Bakudeku!

Why? Eh- I like IzuOcha’s dynamic and chemistry- but it just fits me more as platonic. I love them as best friends, and they became one of my favorite platonic ships! Hmm- I think…if I liked IzuOcha romantically then Bakudeku and IzuOcha would be tied! In short- I just prefer Bakudeku’s Dynamic and their chemistry as romantic while I prefer IzuOcha’s as Platonic:3

When did I start shipping them? Before I knew anything about MHA at all!! I’d see them and Tododeku around a lot before I was in the fandom and started liking the ships from the distance. Eventually I kinda ended up in the fandom without even watching the show and grew obsessed with dynamic and progressive Bakudeku was showing me through scenes! Last year I FINALLY started watching the show with a friend (we’re currently on season 6- they prefer KiriBaku and TodoDeku!!!)-every moment they have makes me ship it even more<3
