blueminuet | Dear Creator Letter for Candy Hearts Exchange

There was a point at which I had to ask myself if I was going to request anything other than Kamen Rider, and I decided that the answer was no. If this makes me unmatchable, then I will face god and walk backwards into hell (and then add more fandoms if asked, I guess).

Anyway,

DEAR CREATOR,

Thanks for reading this letter and making me something. I am not a very picky person and will love anything you make for my most favorite blorbos. I am fine with any medium (writing, art, etc). Some of my prompts below may be more writer-focused, but please know I will still lose my mind about a drawing of my blorbos together.

That said, here are some guidance and general likes and dislikes.

I am also wordy, so here are some links to pop around to the different sections of this letter:

General likes/dislikes:

Likes:

Shenanigans and hi-jinks
Comedy/Humor
Angst
Pining (mutual or otherwise)
Exes hating each other in extremely homosexual ways
Enemies to lovers
Annoyances to lovers
Contrivances to lead people to be in a relationship before actually falling in love (arranged marriage, fake dating, accidental pregnancy)
Omegaverse is A-okay
Mpreg is also, in fact, fine by me, but just throwing in the note that I prefer trans headcanons for it, but omegaverse is fine too
I love AUs, especially sci-fi, cyberpunk, fantasy, etc. Anything putting people in different weird situations and seeing how it changes things in a fascinating way.
For Kamen Rider Specifically: I loooooove crossovers. I love riders from different seasons interacting. I love cameos from other riders for no reason other than to spark joy. I’ve seen most of phase 2 heisei, so any crossovers with those characters will be especially delightful for me. Wanna start a crackship with two riders who have never met? Go wild, I am totally down.

Dislikes/DNWs:

Character bashing/ship hate
Scat/Piss kink
Vore
Inflation/Stuffing
I am picky about noncon, so it's usually a no unless I mention it specifically for a particular ship. Anything in the dubcon grey area is probably okay (as long as it's warned for)

Kamen Rider Build:

Himuro Gentoku/Sawatari Kazumi

I love how the two of them bond towards the end of the series and become inseparable. Would love anything that explores the dynamic of Kazumi continuing to forgive Gentoku when he feels like he's unforgivable. Setting it in the New World could also be interesting; how does Kazumi bring up that he's dating a guy that killed one of his buddies? I also enjoy Gentoku having to deal with Kazumi's fanboying over Mii-tan, and maybe feeling inadequate in comparison. These two are so WEIRD, and I love that.

Also, there is just not enough porn of this pairing, I am Just Saying...

Himuro Gentoku/Isurugi Misora/Sawatari Kazumi/Takigawa Sawa

This started as a joke and I played myself. I thought it was very funny to just put the canon het ships in a blender. Now I am the fool. My preferred arrangement on this is KazuGen and MiSawa being the main ships, but occasionally swinging or being a polycule with those relationships being the most prominent. I also see Misora & Gentoku being mostly platonic, though their silly relationship through fashion and her putting him in his place is very dear to me. I am also attached to my headcanon of Sawa being the instigator and string puller of this little quartet. Beyond that, go wild.

Evolt/Himuro Gentoku

Oh BloodRogue, my beloved, my worstie... Gentoku definitely thought he was fucking Blood Stalk with the intent of using him until he could betray him. Little did he realize he was fucking a Destruction God beyond his comprehension. I love anything that plays with the tension of Gentoku believing he has the upper hand when we know he is fated to fail and be destroyed. It's about hubris and the downfall... Also Evolt using Gentoku for his own plans is so good. Their relationship is equal parts Toxic by Britney Spears and Ghengis Khan by Miike Snow.

Kamen Rider W:

For some reason ao3 wouldn't let me list Shotaro/Philip, even though I know it was in the tagset. (I nominated it!) But tbh, I thought it was funny. I can find Shotaro/Philip anywhere, let's give someone else a shot! (That said, if you want to have Sho/Philip in the background/in addition to one of the other ships, go for it. Let's make some polycules!) The important thing to note here is that I love my Trans Man Shotaro headcanon, and I would love to be fed more content. The fic does NOT need to focus on that, but I love it as a detail!

Hidari Shoutarou/Sudou Kirihiko

Look, let's be honest... Kirihiko deserved better. I would love to see these two just hanging out. Maybe an AU where Kirihiko gets converted to the good side? The chaos of him joining in with the detective agency... Or maybe the two of them comparing their Futo-kun collections (or fighting over some Futo-kun merch) or visiting some tourist-y spots that no one else can stand.

Hidari Shoutarou/Terui Ryuu

I feel like we don’t talk enough about how Ryu canonically kissed Shotaro. I feel like we should talk about the awkwardness that must have ensued after that. Doesn't need to be Ryu/Shotaro, but like. What happened after that? Does Ryu ever live this down? Does Shotaro bring this up constantly to piss off Akiko? This ship doesn't really have to go anywhere, it's just fun.

Hidari Shoutarou/Narumi Soukichi

Listen,,, I just think there's something to be said about Shotaro wanting the Chief to be proud of him... to praise him... You can take this in an idealized longing kind of way or... maybe it's reciprocated, idk, I just think the idea of starry eyed young Shotaro is very good.

Hidari Shoutarou & Narumi Akiko & Philip

Hidari Shoutarou & Narumi Akiko

Just putting these two together, tbh. I love Shotaro and Akiko having a cute sibling relationship, bullying and teasing each other, getting super into their fav tv show. I would love some cute sibling fluff. Philip can come too; if you include him, it might be fun for them to bring him to some place he can really geek out, like an amusement park or a zoo. Maybe Shotaro and Akiko can make up for the rest of his family being kind of... less than ideal.

Kamen Rider OOO:

Ankh/Hino Eiji

I love cute fluff with them, but I also like the idea of Really Weird Greeed Sex, so you have a lot of options. I love anything that leans into Greeed being just ever so slightly inhuman in actions and instincts, and Eiji being able to clock that and respond to it in ways that catch Ankh off guard. Also, Eiji being really into Ankh's physical Greeed features is also a plus.

I would also be okay with you going in a darker direction with Ankh/Eiji if you lean into Eiji's dino arc a bit, maybe have the greeed power corrupting him a little more. I think there's a lot of room for some interesting role reversal there with Ankh being overwhelmed, or maybe trying to get back the REAL Eiji.

Ankh/King

Oh King OOO, Ankh's problematic ex. I love anything digging into their toxic relationship. The anniversary movie had so many tragedies, and among them was the fact that we really don't get to delve into any of the interactions between the King and the greeed, because there's too much else going on. I think it could be fun to poke at that and see what angst possibilities there are there.

Date Akira/Maki Kiyoto

Date/Maki are just weirdos and it is a travesty there is no content for them when they have a canonical forced domestic arc. They had to cohabitate in the lab!! Date accidentally boiled the doll! The weirdness writes itself!!

I think there's also something to be said about the fact that even after Maki's heel turn, Date still says that he likes him and wishes he would come back. Date, that's bonkers. No one likes Maki like that... I'd really like to see that played with, Date's earnest (and frankly unearned) trust and respect for this weird mad scientist.

Kamen Rider Ghost:

Javert/Onari

God help me, I requested Ghost entirely just to ask for Onari/Javert. The other characters in Ghost are FINE, but I want more Onari/Javert content.

They are just so… Onari shows Javert mercy and kindness ONCE, and then Javert decides that he wants nothing to do with the narrative unless it has to do with saving Onari and then at the end he chooses to stay with Onari instead of going home. Hello??? And I’m just supposed to be normal about this????
I would love any kind of romance with these two, especially anything leaning into the humor between these two because there is so much potential for shenanigans.
I like the idea of them being very oblivious to their feeling and the rest of the shrine gang trying to get them to realize and stop dancing around each other.
Also: Javert being completely in awe of Onari despite everyone else knowing Javert is clearly the more badass of the two. Javert simply does not understand this. He thinks his lame boyfriend is actually the most talented and special and no one can convince him otherwise, logic be damned.

Kamen Rider Drive:

Chase | Mashin Chaser/Shijima Gou

I love Chase so much and I just want him to be happy, healthy, and alive
Something I love about Gou/Chase is how Gou has gone on this epic emotional roller coaster since Chase’s death wherein he realizes he’s in love with him, but Chase has been dead this whole time... So if Gou revives him, he has missed this whole emotional arc. I think there’s just something both funny and tragic about how Chase just wanted Gou to be his friend, and now Gou is in love with him, and how do you navigate from point A to point B? How do you do that when you’re Gou and deathly allergic to feelings? I love mess!!!
Also if you’ve seen the Drive/Ghost movie… that part where everyone gets a bit jumpscared and Gou’s reaction is to cling to Chase?? We should talk about that more. We should really dissect that. Did they talk about that after? At all? Did Chase just accept that this is the dynamic now?
I also love the two of them getting to be a fantastic team together, maybe without even realizing it. Especially when set before Gou's bisexual awakening and realizing he loves Chase, a lot of denial while also being undeniably drift compatible.

Krim Steinbelt/Tomari Shinnosuke

Look, I have made my stance very clear: Body sharing is Kamen Rider Third Base. I just think it would be fun to see these two have to kind of navigate their feelings after Belt-san gets the ability to pilot Shinnosuke's body. Do they ever use that for non-rider business? Feel free to go with wacky hijinks or angst, and it doesn't have to be shippy per se, I just want to see them bumbling through some stuff.

Heart Roidmude/Tomari Shinnosuke

Look, I once say someone say that Shinnosuke was the token straight rider, and I took that personally. No man has ever looked into Heart's eyes heterosexually. Shin absolutely, between heated glances with Heart, thought to himself, "would."

Feel free to go wild with this. Shin grappling with his weird feelings for his enemy? Shin ending up in a fight with Brain or Medic because they see him as competition for their man? Go nuts!
