yeah shun lost his mom but runo won the misunderstood character award so who's really suffering here

Aight I'm gonna do it... Here are the Runo/Shun headcanons

-I imagine they'd get together pretty slowly. Obviously, there are certain hurdles in the way, so they'd be hesitant to act on their feelings- or at least, Shun would. Runo, however, loves spiting Dan, and hates being tied to him despite him not giving any affection, so she's the one who makes the first move on Shun. It wouldn't be anything too overt or obvious (especially not to Mr. Socially-Inept himself) but she stays persistent about it, so eventually he gets the hint.

-Shun is surprised- not that Dan's maybe-baby is flirting with him, but that she's flirting with him specifically. But he's certainly not against it; he's Dan's best friend, so he knows that Dan barely gives her a second thought unless he's hungry. Why adhere to some made-up "bro code" when Dan had never even called her his girlfriend? Why rob Runo of her agency?...Yeah, he had to jump through quite a few mental hurdles to not feel guilty about it. And to stop feeling guilty about feeling guilty.

-The first thing that drives them to go out would probably just be physical attraction. But after spending one-on-one time with each other, Runo would like how surprisingly empathetic and thoughtful he is and the astoundingly weird vibes he gives off when he's comfortable enough, while Shun grows to appreciate her strong ambition and her deep passion for those she cares about.

-Obviously, Runo's a Big Fucking Tsundere who can't look anyone in the eyes without blushing, but Shun is surprisingly chill with physical affection. He's not big on it, but he'll put his arm around her shoulders or waist, or grab her hand, or even run his fingers through her hair without much thought. It drives Runo crazy just how casual he is about it.

-Of course, when Runo does eventually turn the tables on him with her classic words of affirmation style, he gets very quiet and flustered. He's pretty good at masking it (like most of his emotions lmao) but not from Runo. She knows.

-I think they'd go on a lot of outdoor dates, like picnics, going to the beach (or wherever you can swim in/near Wardington), going to fairs, all that good shit. And of course, because Shun is a try-hard who can't show affection unless it's through actions and he has a lot of affection to show, he was the one who organised them at first. He needs three courses for the picnic and a big blanket in case she wants to lie down and maybe some pillows? I could read her a book? We should go somewhere where the leaves are falling so it'll look nice, but not too many leaves we don't want ticks- yeah, he calms down eventually once they're further into the relationship, but Runo certainly doesn't have a problem with all the hard work he puts into it.

-They also spend a lot of time just chilling quietly together. They'll hang out in one of their beds, Runo scrolling through her phone and Shun reading some old book, one running their fingers through the other's hair or tracing patterns on their skin. Or they'll just have an afternoon snooze together, or a lazy morning makeout. They just love to relax together.

-When she's not working, Runo makes a point to NEVER enter the kitchen- which means she's a shit cook who, if left to fend for herself, is turning straight to good ol' Micky D's. Luckily for her, Mr. Well-Rounded Rich Man Shun is actually a pretty good cook because he had to cook for himself during/after his mum's death lol and a willing malewife who would gladly cook for his girlfriend at any point to stop her from destroying her arteries. Man will travel all the way into the city with a homecooked meal on request- or just at random sometimes.

-Is Dan okay with this? Who fucking cares lol.

-Runo is torn between wanting to flaunt her hot bf and wanting to hide him from her dad. On the one hand, she thinks everyone should know how happy they are and how well she's being treated. On the other hand, if her dad finds out how well he's treating her, he just won't stand for it. Luckily for her, once her dad does find out and tries his usual intimidation tactic, Shun is just. completely unaffected. and there's just not much else that her dad can do unless he wants his daughter's bf to call CPS on his ass.

ship game: runo x shun :)

Omg I can't believe you would ask this of me tumblr user Shunruno (but here is your reward🍪 tell no one you were bribed)

Ship it

What made you ship it? Okay it is an odd train of thought but hear me out,, SO when I was on the outskirts of the tumblr fandom doing some lurking, I figured that DanShun was the Reigning Thing (and I'd always thought of these two as brothers, but I have an odd need to Assimilate so I wanted to go along with it), but I really liked DanRuno at the time so I figured I would pull a fast one on people and turn them into the ultimate poly ship. BUT THEN... I started reading up on Dan again, learning about his history of just being a general twat (mind you, I have not watched the show in many moons), and the idea of him being with either of these two became SO UNAPPEALING. But I couldn't just disband the group all together, since I had thought a bit about the dynamic and really liked these two together. So I just. booted Dan. kept the other two.

What are your favorite things about the ship? I know they don't interact a lot in canon but there's no much potential with them both being so unreasonably devoted to the Fucking Idiot Main Character. They're both very smart and good strategists, and both very loving, though Runo is far more overt about it while Shun is... not obvious but certainly not subtle, either. I think them doing a tag team battle together in the show would've been fucking sick, they both have very unique ways of thinking and playing the game.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? Regular Losers might think that Runo is the angry rabid one and Shun is the sensible one, but it is SUCH the other way around,,, like Shun is gonna be doing the most batshit insane things for incredibly convoluted reasons and Runo's like "...aight now take me out to dinner pls."
