phdei is not more implied than rtrn in any capacity come on now, you can enjoy them as they are and I do as well but to go as far as to say that is an insane stretch let's keep it realistic😭 also please censor the names next time lest it causes any infighting

Obviously it’s my opinion but I totally think it is ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m a huge ratiorine shipper. I’m not dunking on them at all lol, like I said in the exact tweet you’re complaining about. I love their dynamic in canon, too and think they’re very very strongly implied, obviously. To the point I think you’re blind if you don’t see it.
However, I still think that even tho canon text does make it clear Ratio cares about Aventurine for example, I think the whole scene of Mydei worrying for Phainon’s wellbeing is even MORE explicit in showing how much Mydei cares about Phainon, too.
I’d love it if we did but we didn’t get a whole scene of R/A loosing their minds with worry while the other took care of their side of the mission, it doesn’t mean they don’t care about each other obviously and if you read you’re clearly able to see they do. P/D got that very explicitly in both directions, so yeah I DO think their relationship and feelings for each other are being focused on even more than ratiorine’s were. Which is fine, I don’t think it discounts the ship at all or makes it lesser in any way, I just think they’re being even more explicit with outright stating and focusing on those feelings now.
I mentioned HSR’s writing too and that was part of the point as well. How the writing is getting more explicit with it. And that’s a good thing! I hope it means we eventually get more ratiorine content and it’s even MORE explicit than what phaidei’s writing is like currently. It’s not a competition at all, I want content for both and the more the better.

And I did not censor my tweets because I was speaking as a ratiorine shipper too and not disparaging either ship at all. If I think canon is being more textual with one over the other, it has nothing to do with my thoughts about the ship, I do not need canon to validate my ships and neither should you. In fact the tweet you’re complaining about was about NOT wanting ships to be canon. Lol. I’m a huge shipper of both and I disclaimed that in the tweet, if my perspective as a shipper of BOTH is enough to cause infighting then idk what to tell you at all… it really does not matter ultimately lol.
