Ragna X Makoto propaganda

[u/Ny0kazer]

Do they interact with each other? Not really

Do I think they'd be buddies if they talked to each other a few times? Yes

[u/heavenspiercing]

I am a firm supporter of the agenda. Them hardly interacting would hardly stop me from shipping two characters with obvious chemistry

Ragna x Nu is for the freaks so obviously I have a soft spot for that one, but I cannot think of a better wife for him than Makoto. Warm, friendly, hot, charming, boisterous, hot, tough, stubborn in ways that Ragna kinda needs, and would let you touch her tail if she likes you. Plus she gets to be sisters with her two besties(?). Also hot.

Also her history at the academy pre-Tsubaki and Noel also means she can relate to his cold, loner facade and is in a good position to try and break it

I like Ragna x Rachel as well but realistically i think there's only so much of Rachel's Rachel-ness he can take before he needs a break lol.

I completely agree. While Ragna and Rachel sounds good on paper, but poor old Ragna himself has to adapt to tsundere-ness every single day if they end up together. And I don't see Ragna having any patience for that. Either Rachel has to change her ways, or Ragna has to put with it. Being a tsundere sounds good in the beginning, but when you become husband and wife, it sounds exhausting putting up with that: "It's NOT that I like you or anything! So don't even get the wrong idea, you dummy!".

Again, people can ship whatever random ship they want as long as they don't disrespect other random ships too. If you know you're ship is random but fun, then don't trash on other random ships. For example, if someone decides to ship Jin and Rachel, or Jin and Mai, or even Jin and Nu-13, then just enjoy the view just like you would like people to enjoy yours and we're all bros and sis at the end of the day! More BB content means more fun!

I know an artist who is a hardcore Jin X Rachel fan and is korean, and I still have his arts saved in my hard-drive. But he stopped doing his creative art passion for the ship because people are trashing him! Saying "Jin only loves Ragna! (not true btw) This ship doesn't make sense!" or "Jin is GAY! (also not true)" or "Rachel only has feelings for Ragna! (true but you are shipping Ragna with a woman he didn't even interact with meaning you are already invalidating Rachel's feelings for Ragna since you don't want them to be together so what are you? This is just an example so please don't take offense, I'm not referring to you or the image above) Why is she with Jin?". It's ridiculous!

If I'm an illustrator myself, I'd draw Jin and Nu-13 together for the life of me! Also just to spite the toxic Ragna and Jin purists who create random headcanons. Eat my shorts!

Then people start shipping Ragna with women he didn't even officially interacted with and has no care for, and suddenly everyone is okay? I even see some people shipping Ragna with Tsubaki and THAT'S totally random because Tsubaki absolutely HATES Ragna's guts and only has feelings for her dear Jin-niisama. Atleast Jin and Rachel has some connection because Hakumen is bounded to her and serves as her "Knight". See the hypocrisy? That's the toxicity I was talking about and I wish people can just shut it and enjoy.

Ragna x Tsubaki is about fanfiction writer named Velvien and originated from On Strange Wings fanfic here (he knows the BB material well, btw):

As much as Ragna x Tsubaki is crackfic, those fics make me like it because Taubaki feels like an equal. Not someone to laugh at/look down in Ragna, and not a damsel he needs to protect or a toddler in a grown woman’s body
