bloodyfication: for this submission /post/24136905596/some-people-seem-to-hate-the-idea-of-izaya-being, I think the fanart is actually part of a doujinshi by inumog, but I can't tell which one. but at least you'd credit the artist ;)

Oh, thank you so much! I will credit them right now. :)

“I ship Shizaya harder than anything, but I feel as if it gets more attention than the show itself. The series is truly beautiful, but sometimes it seems as if you need to look around the major ships to really see how amazing it really is.”

“I believe that the face Izaya shows to people when he’s out and about or dealing with work is really the way he is. But I also believe that when he’s alone he’s a different person and no one really get to see, or would expect, that other side of him.”

Anonymous: I ship Shizaya and Izuo but I respect other pairings too. I read IzaNamie, IzaKida, ShizuMikado, KasukaKida and every other pairings fanfiction too. I don't question people's ships, and I'd like to get the same respect from others. And I know that there are a lot of Shizaya shippers who are considerate and respectful to other pairings as well. The tag of 'Shizaya shipper' Izanami shipper', KidaMikado shipper', are not important. What important is we all like Durarara!!, we are on the same boat.

Anonymous: People should stop all of this shizaya-lovers and shizaya-haters crap. Durarara!! is an awesome series, it's a pity if peole use the fact that there's a popular pairing fanbase as a reason to hate the series. Every series has its own popular pairing, it doesn't happen only in Durarara!!, so if we can all just appreciate others' interests, everything will be better. Whatever the fandom is, pairing war is always lame and ruining the fun.

Anonymous: This is more so asking for advice, maybe a little help will make me feel better, but I'm afraid to contribute to the Durarara fandom simply because I don't think anyone will like the way I ship things. It scares me. I've already been bothered by some people. I don't know what to do if I am bothered by more.

You contribute what you want to contribute to the fandom, and don’t worry about anyone else’s opinion if they don’t ship the same things you do. You shouldn’t be worrying about not being able to enjoy yourself because some other person ships something different than you. If they have a problem with the way you ship things, they can either accept the fact that you guys have differing opinions or they can kindly fuck off, to put it quite bluntly. 

Don’t worry what other people think. If you enjoy contributing to the fandom, then do so and who knows, there might be at least one other person who might think the same way you do. Entering any fandom is a risk, and this fandom is no different but I do hope you decide to take the dive. I, for one, would love to see what your ships are.

Fandom Advice?

It honestly sounds like you handled it pretty well. You didn’t lash out when she lashed out at you and you let her know that when she did it hurt you. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that she’s a younger sibling? If so, with that, comes immaturity and to me, fandom etiquette is something that you have to grow and mature to. Everyone seems to have those “phases”, I think where your ship is more superior than someone else’s. Later, she’ll probably realize how stupid it was to get so upset over something as trivial as a ship. It also didn’t seem like your friend was arguing about it with your sister either so I wouldn’t worry about that. Since you’ve already let her know how you feel, I would just ignore it if it comes up again because there’s really no reason to let yourself get riled up over something so little. You both have differing opinions and that’s fine, but maybe you can help your sister understand that this is fandom behavior that’s often looked down upon? 

I guess that would be my advice to you. If any followers have any advice — you can comment as well!
