'25 GEN AIB and the controversy around SHIPPING.
If you've ever been in a fandom, which you certainly have if you're on tumblr, then you know that one of the biggest things that makes a fandom is shipping. Whether it be adored by the fandom, shut away in some locked up corner online, or frowned upon, almost every fandom has shipping. And Alice in Borderland is no stranger to the concept.
<> NOTICE : Nothing that I say in this post is meant to offend, harm, or attack anyone. This is simply an informational post sharing my opinion on current controversies in the fandom.
IT'S THE BASIC OUTCOME OF A FANDOM.. : Alice in Borderland has been around for almost 15 YEARS NOW. No matter how long ago you joined the fandom, whether you've been here since it's first manga release or since this year's borderland revival, if you may, on TikTok, you already know shipping is HUGE in this fandom. Which means an outrageous amount of stupid arguments over which characters are more compatible than others. Perhaps the most frustrating part of the new gen of AIB fans (I say this because I personally and most of those similar to me have been here for around 4 years) is the shipping. Now, don't take this the wrong way. I am all for shipping- if you already know me, then you would know that a large chunk of this account is based on an AIB ship. Shipping becomes a problem when people in the fandom begin arguing over which ship is better and full on attacking each other over it. I say this referring to the uprise of Chippei (Chishiya Shuntaro / Ippei Oki) and Nishiya (Niragi Suguru / Chishiya Shuntaro) and the new fandom's growing rivalry regarding these 2 ships. I have literally seen Chippei lovers tell Nishiya fans that they HATE THEM and even tell them to kms over them preferring Nishiya, or just for not liking Chippei. A portion of Nishiya shippers aren't saints either. This behavior is EXTREMELY immature. And it isn't only between these two, but it's mainly between these two. As a fandom we should respect each other, whether or not we agree with each other's opinions. Nishiya shippers who act immaturely back to the shippers who disagree whether they be Chippei, Chirisu, Niratatta, etc, make me feel ashamed to be a Nishiya shipper. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU DISAGREE WITH A SHIP ? : : If you disagree with a ship you should simply scroll away. It's that simple. I personally have STRONG opinions towards Niratatta, but you will NEVER catch me telling someone who ships the two to do bad things to themselves or other kinds of hate speech. If you are in a conversation with someone who ships something different from you, you can simply say, "I personally don't ship them / don't agree with the ship, but it's a cool concept! I'm glad you enjoy it!" And go along with your day. It's THAT simple to be a normal human being and respectful member of your fandom, whether its Alice in Borderland or not. If someone is being disrespectful or crude towards you for your ship, don't reciprocate the behavior. Simply ignore them, and if they don't stop, block them. You should NEVER reply with rude remarks in return.
And, that concludes my rant. To anyone in this fandom, or any fandom for that matter, that already behaves in a respectful manner, props to you. Keep doing what you're doing !! You make your fandom a much better place when you treat others nicely :)) See you next rant !! Bye bye !
FIC IS OUT !!

^ its pretty short but uh whatever whoopsie daisies you can keep this in mind while you read if you want :)) v
"those eyes of yours piss me off, its so condescending" so like niragi theres this river in egypt, i dont know if youve ever heard of it... its called de nile!! now say that real slow.
HIHIHI !! Sorry if this ask is sudden but I felt the itching necessity to introduce myself as a fellow (manga) Niragi kin + NiraShiya enjoyer (been in the fandom for a while but I just recently started writing fics)
It genuinely makes me so happy to see others having a similar interest as opposed to the “early” fandom where the ship & Niragi himself were considered no-no topics
Expect me in your inbox often !
- sincerely, schnitzel:)
AAAAAA ANOTHER NIRASHIYA LOVER AND NIRAGI KINNIE!!! STRAIGHT TO MY MOOTS U GO SCHNITZEL :3 !!
upcoming actually somewhat positive fic teaser art
the scribbles lowkey distorted his side profile but anyways um i love soft niragi pls follow me on ao3 for super amazing nirashiya posts oki bai
taking a break from a big fat stressful fic to write something shorter and almost comforting
teaser :3
“god, you’re so pretentious.” niragi retorts, shifting to elbow-butt the blonde to the side. the action is clearly playful, yet there’s a hint of genuineness in the shove- despite his sudden, rare sweetness, niragi still has half a mind to play a sort of deceitful game with him. honesty is typically NEVER fun for the raven; unless he gets a little entertainment out of it, of course..
seriously, what a stubborn, stubborn man.
“is that so?” chishiya’s back to his side now. well, not COMPLETELY to his side, but they’re pretty damn tight. niragi’s just a head turn away. there’s a faint smirk growing on his face, mischievous and condescending. “i think you like that.” niragi scoffs, turning sharp to face him with a hard thump of his feet ricocheting throughout the empty hallway. his knuckles fold around the chest of chishiya’s jacket- it’s not as much as he hopes for, but it’s a start. a tempting, curious promise.
“you know, you shouldn’t wear your proclaimed OBNOXIOUSNESS like a badge of honor.”
chishiya’s ‘faint smirk’ has curled into an involuntary grin, just barely shuffling himself further into niragi’s grasp. a cold hand lifts up to slink around one of the raven’s wrists and niragi swears there’s a soft burn where his palm rests. he stares possessively down at him.
“if it’s proclaimed by you? ill take it with pleasure.”
the words slide off his lips with that stupid, smug smile he prides himself on. niragi’s vaguely OFFENDED, though, he understands the feeling of the blonde’s awfully cold hands against his is a rarity he’s not willing to risk losing with the threat that hangs on the tip of his tongue.
with an exasperated sigh, he swallows the cocky remark before he shifts his grip to chishiya’s hood, YANKING him down the corridor.
there’s other ways for him to put him in his place.
NIRASHIYA HEADCANONS !! (post-borderlands)
idc what yall say, niragi is so a little spoon, chishiya would come home from work and this man would JUMP onto him. he'd like fall asleep on his chest while chishiya's just trying to finally get some food in his system.
flirty asf x flirts once in a blue moon
chishiya practically purrs in his sleep and niragi can never get enough of it
acts of service + quality time x physical attention + P.D.A
they call eachother asshole in a loving way, 100%. they are the definition of sarcasm
prefers-staying-at-home-over-going-out chishiya and literally-cant-cook-anything-but-shin-ramen-but-still-tries niragi
niragi always makes fun of chishiya's height- he never really means it, he just likes to nag him (as usual..)
chishiya loves to play with niragi's hair. when hes all curled up in his lap hes fighting demons trying not to comb a few fingers through the dark, messy strands.
CONSTANTLY staring (with love) x “why are you staring…” (with fear / concern)
can’t live without coffee x can’t live without redbull (he was hoping it’d give him the wings when he fell off the beach roof /sar) (on that note coffee DEFINITELY stunted chishiya’s growth)
should i make more ? :3
fanart for @sharpsuite and their fic :) app ; clip studio paint brush(es) ; textured pen literally spent like 40 min trying to get chishiya's face right omg
does he even know hes alive
audience declares artist made man too silly, artist pleads who cares?
why are tiktokers so damn entitled. like i have an aib edit / animation acc on tt and i posted a lil nirashiya animation and tell me why this mf in the comments is like "niragi does not like chishiya what,,...." like oh my GOD let people have sillies and tomfooleries gawd damn youre addicted to tt so much to have a LEMON8 ACCOUNT of all things for gods sake im genuinely convinced you literally just cant handle hearing other opinions
