The great thing about fandom is that you can have Akame as your OTP, and still appreciate that Pin can be valid. :3 I just get sad when people who are Akame fans are like "fuck no pin doesn't make any sense," because it makes a lot of sense...Just like Akame makes sense. I know why people ship it-- it's so friggin full of UST and unexplored angles and sharp edges, and when you read it sometimes it fills you up inside, and sometimes it cuts you up and leaves you raw and aching and bleeding, and not knowing, in the end, how it's going to end up is a RUSH. It can leave you shattered and then piece you fragily back together, and its tentative optimism males you believe in the power of forgiveness and in the power of reconcilliation.

But Pin makes so much sense too, and it's completely different, and the fear and the aching in Pin doesn't come from rough edges and a minefield of a past history, it comes from wanting more from something that's already perfect, being so scared that you're going to mess up one of the most important things in your life by taking a chance, and taking that risk anyway, because it's everything you've ever wanted. It's knowing that what it could be is worth making that jump; worth reaching upwards to the stars, in order to grasp that bright light of perfection in your own two hands.

That's why I'm both an Akame shipper and Pin shipper. These are two very different places in my heart.
