Ochan/Tenma For The Ship Asks ^_^

Ochan/Tenma for the ship asks ^_^

aaaaah the old man yaoi ever!!!!

What made you ship it?

From the start I was like "haha wouldn't it be funny if they were exes" since the whole series is a custody battle and all. Then episode 50 happenned and I suddenly really wanted to explore the concept of Tenma becoming a better person and getting back to Astro and Ochan's life. I also wacthed some of Atom the Begginning and that thing is weird but I love their young versions' dynamic and the concept of them being old classmates and partners, so it only added to that

What are your favorite things about the ship?

There's a lot but I really really love their contrast... Tenma being such a cold, sharp person, and Ochan being this firm believer in peace and in the hearts of humans and robots. I love how similar Astro is to Ochan, how Tenma is silently proud from these people who are so much better than him (this isn't so much canon but is kinda there and I love to explore it in fic).

And they're so funny when they're just being a bickering couple and throwing hands. That episode of atb where they're basically having a divorce over A106 killed me.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I really don't know, I'm not sure what the popular opinions are... so I'll just throw a random headcanon: I think they're both ace, Tenma being gay-romantic and Ochan being bi

We should check out all the services here in Treasure Town before setting out! It's what responsible adventurers would do!

"Look at me, Grovyle! Look! I never knew I'd get so tall! And strong! And cool! Don't I look cool?" "The coolest indeed, Sereno."

(At temporal tower, Sereno lost her bow and got Grovyle's scarf. And he now wears a necklace Celebi made to him.)

Okay here’s an ask game

Send me a ship and I’ll answer three questions based on if I ship it or not.

Ship It

What made you ship it?

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Don’t Ship It

Why don’t you ship it?

What would have made you like it?

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

For the fandom ask, what’s your least favorite cannon thing about Atom?

Oh that's an interesting one, I think I never felt negative feelings abt the little guy before KJSJKSKJ genuinely love pretty much everything abt his character from the versions I've wacthed

Ok, this is very specific, but I kinda hate that episode in 2003 where there's a robot girl (Emily, I think) who wants to turn into a warrior to save her parents and Astro is all "no, she can't do it, she's just a girl!!"

And like, I GET it, I do understand that he hates fighting and will place all that burden on himself if needed. I love that abt him. But I kiiinda felt that the episode (and Astro by proxy) was leaning on the fact that Emily shouldn't fight because she's a girl?? not in the sense of being young, but being a woman?

Maybe I misintrerpreted it or something was lost in the subtitling process but as it stands, that was the moment I disliked Astro the most. Come on my guy. Tho I don't think abt it a lot bc I blame more the general writing than his character
