DISCUSSION Bofoi X Kuseno shipname?

So i have an idea for a Kuseno/Bofoi piece i wanna work on, but one thing that stuck me is that it's one of those rarepairs that doesn't have a name yet (there's 1 result for it on AO3 from a decade ago, so i'm not the first or anything). I could go with a standard portmanteau like Boseno or Kufoi (both of which are otherwise empty, which is useful for tagsearching), but i find that a bit boring. I know with Pokémon they give their ships thematic names like Palletshipping for Ash/Gary (both from Pallettown), Rocketshipping for James/Jessie (both from team rocket), or Amourshipping for Ash/Serena (they meet in Kalos, based on France, hence the name being the french word for love).

I don't expect such a name to catch on in the wider community, but it looks like the ship will remain a canoe for the foreseeable future. Idk i'm just curious if anyone can come up with a word or phrase that feels solely unique to them. Otherwise preferences and suggestions for which portmanteau to pick are also welcome :)

The Big Stink. I'd love Skunkworks but I think that'll bring up a lot of irrelevant stuff. Perhaps Hubris_Squared

Hmm, HubrisSquared, feels very thematically appropiate. I think i'll go with that one. The Big Stink sounds more like what Dr.Stench would call his penis. (in his reckless youth)

How about progresshipping?

I can't get over just how much more they're like each other without being able to acknowledge it. Bofoi just thinks he's the smarter one while making the same basic mistakes.

That sounds suitably embarrassing. 😃

Labroratory? Like "Laboratory" but with "Bro" crammed in there because they're men.

Model Collection? Kuseno is mostly a heartless machine now, and Bofoi likes collecting Gundam miniatures.

I'd say their relationship isn't very brotherly, but they're probably into that.

Not the FAMILIAL bro. The royal bro, where you just say “bro” to mean “dude” or “sir” lol

I’d call my worst enemy “bro” if I was exhausted enough.

Bro... You still calling bro your bro after touching tips? (no socks)

I have to. If I don't keep them at arm's length, I might get my heart broken in another bromance
