...What image sites are you looking at?
Honestly? I use that site too and most of what I see are ArcherxRin and ShirouxSaber.
...Of course, there is the possibility that I'm confusing fanart for fanfiction, where Rin is 9 out of 10 times paired up with Archer.
Shirou/Rin yaaaaay
... Like rabbits.
:3
I'm still laughing at that one.
The one where they were sharing Shirou's clothes was pretty sexy too.

all very, very adorable but..
ZOMG NSFW
the......hell...?
It's because she is basically the second protagonist.
Am I the only one who got the feeling that Nasu was shipping RinxShirou harder then the other pairs?(Those named Mike or Keyne should not respond)
I mean even when I watched the anime it just seemed so convenient for Rin that Saber left allowing her to slide right into place, even more so in the vn where he goes to school with her and does not head off to the bridge to reminisce some. And in Heaven's Feel we get this weird seemingly unnecessary part at the end where Rin thinks to her self that she might actually love him.
There are other examples besides these.
I know a lot of you will reject this because you like to see Shirou as super monogamous but come on, he is Kiritsugu's son and all the heroines comment on his latent womanizing tendencies. The possibility exists, most males remember there first crush fondly but they still move on because that is how humans work.
I think it's more like, all the heroines love him to some extent in pretty much every route. That's the way it has to be in eroge because nobody wants to imagine their heroine of choice running off with some random other guy in the other routes.
Just Rin is the one we get to see inside the mind of most often, so "RIN LIKES SHIROU" gets pointed out more.
Nasu did say Rin was his favourite before Rider came along, though. (since she's the Aoko of Fate and Aoko seems to be his favourite)
Aoko is my favourite... Mahoyo character. From what we've seen. So far.Sensei is everyone favorite. everyone who says otherwise is just tsundere and lying.
@koto
I guess but than there was the scene with Rider where we have Shirou's inner most fantasy (possibly assuming it works like Len) to be Rin, at least at that point (I see you Mike calm down sex is not the same as love anyway).
I am just talking about Fate/Stay Night. Hollow Ataraxia gave us that Ilya swimsuit scene. And of course Nasu is not going to outright say "I prefer pairing x" I was just wondering if anyone else got this vibe.
Your explanation makes sense though. I kind of wish we got to see who else the girls could shack up with besides the protag. You know so we don't have them nailed to the main character and get into debates with certain people about whether a girl can truly find happiness without 'her man.' Her man of course refering to Shirou.
we already know shirou was most attracted to rin pre fate though? I dont even think mike would argue that
Please, I'd contest that myself. Shirou and Sakura spent practically every day together before the Grail War kicked up, of course she's going to be the one he thinks about more. No I don't care about anyone's potential butthurt, it just makes sense.
