Advent Calendar Day 09

[shinsengumi]

Here we are at Day Nine, so soon! Today's post is brought to you by two fabulous mods, myself (aestivalis) and Fel (shinsengumi, and you have her to thank for the adorable banner GOSH I LOVE ZELOS AND CHERIA SO MUCH YOU GUYS). I hope you all have been having a great time with this event - I certainly have!

Anyway, let's get this advent day moving \o\!

DAY NINE: DYNAMIC DUOS

Since this post is coming to you from two individuals, it only seems right to focus on partnerships. This isn't a shipping post, though! Nor is it particularly about familial bonds! Instead, just tell us about two characters you enjoy who share a significant non-romantic bond. We're talking about Roy Mustang and Maes Hughes, we're talking about Nana O. and Nana K., we're talking Sanzo and Goku, you get the idea!

Still want more examples? We'll take your Ladd Russo and Claire Stanfield, we'll have Caster and Ryuunosuke Uryuu, bring us Revy and Eda! Positive or negative, we want to know about some of your favourite bonds between people. After all, two are better than one.

For joining in with today's conversation, you may take two choice character cards with something in common. What things in common? Just like this round of Switch It Up, it's up to you! The only rule is that your choice cards must be from different decks. Make sure to drop an explanation with your comment and to post by December 31st!

Enjoy the rest of your Advent Calendar! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT DUOS * ^ *

Eyes Rutherford and Kanone Hilbert from Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning will always be one of my favourite canonically platonic duos. I really enjoy character relations that are deep and fulfilling, and that transcend the need for words-- understanding via silence indicates trust. There are many different forms of trust, and not all of them are positive. Kanone and Eyes trust each other implicitly-- whether they are on the same side or different sides, Eyes trusts Kanone to be himself, and vice-versa. The two of them complement each other's weaknesses and strengths. Eyes is the strategic backbone of the Blade Children; Kanone is the weapon. Eyes refuses to cry anymore, and so Kanone will cry in his stead. They do this without needing to communicate-- during the phone-call prelude to Kanone's intention of holding an entire school hostage in order to kill the Blade Children basically nothing was said-- but the silence said so, so much more.

Basically I like them a lot ahue.

I'll take hunt01 and pianist01! Both are from the same series, are numbered 01, and share a deep bond with each other. :>
