Anyone here supports IronShipping(Tougan/Byron x Gen/Riley) here? I not so recently got into this ship and decided to make a thread for it here!

Let's discuss the awesomeness of this ship!
 
Who are Gen and Riley?

shaking my head rn

shaking.
my.
head.


i quite enjoy ironshipping, though unfortunately there's not all that much in the way of good fanworks. like, i seriously just searched through my entire fanart folder and found one nice pic. one.
this is totally unacceptable :I

It doesn't help that fanart is really hard to find that's NOT from Heerosferret. :(

Her art is good but I wanna see other people art of the ship.

Did you play diamond? Or, pearl? Its fine you played Platinum as well. Maybe you just watched some videos on youtube.

I quite like this ship, even though I prefer Riley with Roark. I really wish there were more of this ship. Strange thing is, some people consider this pairing crack... Even though Byron actually wanted Riley to be the Orangburgh Leader.

I never understood why people think this ship is a crack/nevermet ship..

I really like this ship. I wish there were more fanfics for it.
 
ok forget what i said before! i found a couple pics
and being the benevolent gal i am, i shall share them with you all :D

umm and how about a discussion question?
How do you imagine Byron & Riley's relationship?

I imagine it very intimate on Riley's side and somewhat confusingly awkward but loving from Byron's side. I also imagine that they knew each other for a very long time.

Well, this is quite a story even for me. I imagined Riley to be a fan interested in Byron for a long time. He soon got the guts to actually meet Byron, and started training under him. Riley did hide his ever so growing love for him, leaving Byron completely clueless...

The rest of story is bad fanfiction, so let me say that I think Riley is the loving one-sider. I also believe Byron to be the clueless target Rileys after. So, yeah. Now I'm starting to like this ship more.

I like the idea of Clueless!Byron too. He seems like the type to have a one track mind and/or be dense sometimes.
 
His anime persona doesn't help in the one-track mind department. Despite his one-track mind having several tracks.

I've love to hear why anyone would think Byron's the aggressor of the relationship.

Going by appearence, he looks like he's the aggressor but personality wise....Riley is clearly the aggressor in this ship.
 
I personally love redefined gender roles. <3 When the manly-man is being swept away by the less-manly-man, it's more than enough to say, yeah, you're breaking the mold of awesome. And I can't explain why Byron's just so cool for being manly and a cuddle-bear Riley snuggles with content. <3

I do too. It's different and more interesting compared to the average BL ship.

I SAW THAT! SO COOL!
 
o/ Ironshipping love over here!
@zel, those fanarts are awesome and win and cute *0*

ASDFGHJKL; that is awesome <3 <3 <3
Boom-de-yada, boom-de-yada~

How do you imagine Byron & Riley's relationship?
Let's see...
Well, at first, I imagine it starting really awkward and secret, becuase Byron's like 40 and Riley doesn't look any older than 26-ish (to me), and Riley has to eventually get Byron to tell everyone about their luv. Byron being so stubborn, it'd take a while, but Riley seems pretty patient.

Also, I imagine that they like to go on vacation to that Iron Island cottage when things get too stressful B]

I also see it like that. I like the idea that Riley had trouble admitting his feelings to Byron because of the Age gap between them(17 years in my HC). Also because of Roark.

hahaha i remember that
good times xD

time to answer my own question~

How do you imagine Byron & Riley's relationship?
byron's a pretty eccentric guy, but i imagine him as still kind of... conservative in his dating habits (and his views in general). i mean, he obviously comes from a mining family, or at least a blue collar family of some sort, and underneath his craziness i think he's a very down to earth bro. (plus, he probably still thinks about roark's mom from time to time </3) and i see riley as being calm for the most part, but he can be pretty eccentric as well once you get to know him. i like to think that they're at a stage where riley just smothers byron with love/is very touchy-feely (mostly unconsciously) and byron's like "NOT SURE IF WANT". lol
 
I also like the idea of Byron still being affected by his divorce from his ex-wife. With that he has trouble to show love to Riley....awwww
