I can't open that google doc so thank you thank you thank you very much for sharing Aythm crumbs I'm so happy about all the tidbits about these two but I can't help but feel so angry with how much was changed simply because they have to be marketable.
I've been feeling a bit envious lately with other regions with how free they are with their characterizations towards other characters then knowing that there's more to Aythm but was scrapped makes me want to shake Dawei's head.
Plus the fandom's constant "Aythmt has no substance", "Only shipped because they're two tall men", "This X ship has more chemistry than Aythmt" has been getting to me as well. So I appreciate your summary a lot.
Just curious though what was Thm and Ayt's role in the scrapped AQ ? The idea of this couple having the same way of punishing someone activated something within me. Plus the HC of JP artists is actually true. (Ayt messing around and Thm is the one cleaning them up).
Again really really thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Hi!!! I’m really late to responding to this, apologies. I’m glad that the post garnered so much interest, and everyone cutely shared their excitement about the doc. It was a much needed reminder for me of just how loved wktm are, I’m really happy that it made you feel happy. Honestly, though? I don’t think much was changed at all. It was more spelled out for people, sure, but I feel like in terms of them as a couple… we knew all of this already, all we are missing is the bath towel detail. From the strange milk innuendo, to ayato still talking about dogs and his attraction to loyalty (in other languages he even calls it adorable/lovable), to thoma being marketed as a cute dog whenever it’s permitted—wktm’s implications aren’t any less clear than they would’ve been if hyv wasn’t on a time crunch as witnessed in the doc, people just don’t like to read or pay attention sadly. And I don’t think it’s a constant in the fandom for people to say that they have no substance and all of those other things, it’s easy to get in over your head about this stuff (I’ve been there before several times dndjdkd) but once you stop paying these people mind, you notice that much less exist than you initially thought and there are far more people who like/love them even if just passively. Let’s keep our heads up and spirits high 🙂↕️🙂↕️
Hmmmm when I was scrolling through the doc, I didn’t see info about them in the AQ, it was moreso their characterization, backstories, and dynamics with other characters!
I always dread whenever a new region cones because people would often find ways to make Inzm worse than it really is. As if the other regions never had flaws on their own. Right now I kept seeing people saying how irrelevant the Kmst clan in the Inzm AQ are but never said anything about other characters who only appeared in events. Calling Ayt, Thm, Ayk and Syu "No contribution to the AQ" but their faves never even appeared in their region's AQ nor there's mention of their contribution. Yes the Inzm AQ was a mess but to always single out the region every single time a new shiny one comes out is getting irritating. I'm well aware than Ntln is what Inzm could have been in terms of the war part but to say every aspect of it is subpar??? I'm just tired seeing hate. Even these content creators would hop on the Inzm hating bandwagon making it hard for me to watch them as the kept instigating hate.
Hi, friend… I actually muted quite a few terms/rando twt civilians myself out of frustration caused by the bi-annual inz hate club meet up fndhdjdnd so yeah, I share the same sentiments as you, and I feel that (sadly) all we can do is ignore these people and keep loving inz by sharing ideas and trying to uphold the communities that we have built up! Seeing that our nation’s subtwt really seems to be an island over having a weird superiority over others allyship like two nations that come to mind, we really need to be kinder to each other. 😅 lolol but really, I’m tired of seeing the hate too and I get how it feels to get whiplash from completely random and unwarranted inz “criticism”. Inz is still missing its interlude, I fully believe we will see the kmsts shine and have nice wktmt/emk working together moments. All we can do is have hope and I know that it may be difficult and frustrating but it’s all I can offer 🥹 yesterday I got pretty down about the state of everything inz related ingame and in the fandom, but my solace is that hyv does care and the doc from a bit back is just more proof of that. I’m not sure what’s stopping them at the moment, but when we get back to inz’s story I think it’ll make a lot of the people hating on it/the characters swallow their words 🙂↕️
Its going to be a cringe question but no one said being one is a crime so...do you think eimiko kids and ayathoma kids would get along
favorite fic tropes in eimiko/ayathoma?
Hmmmm for eimiko, I really like role swap aus where they’re put in less pressuring circumstances! Such as Ei going from an all powerful archon —> general and Miko going from her divine standing —> some kind of performer or artist/writer.. I also really like aus where one is sick and caring for the other, seeing ⚡️ care for 🦊 so tenderly (in her very own way of course) is something that sadly we aren’t really shown in canon although I strongly feel like we are slowly working towards that.. so it makes me rly happy to read it in fanworks 🥹. For ayathoma, I really like fics where they are also tender and gentle with each other while still being a bit clumsy emotionally so I tend to enjoy first time tropes whether it’s first love, first kiss, confessions—the cute build up leading to them (especially when it involves the people around them helping one confess to the other), etc etc etc. Like I said in regards to eimiko, ayathoma also have a very sweet romance with a more than solid foundation but sadly due to inz neglect overall, we don’t get to see these two couples onscreen that much both together and separately :,). In general, for both ⚡️🦊 and 🧋🍡 I love fics that show that they are in a comfortable and settled state in their dynamics together, where it’s pre-rs or in present times within their romantic partnership/marriage not only because it’s nice on the heart to read, but bcs it feels like an extension of canon that we don’t get to see bcs of the couples’ set importance on the intimacy of privacy in their relationships ☺️
From character clothing designs to kit designs even in TCG Aythm are a match made in heaven! I want everyone to know that! Plus I HC that because they've been together for so long that each other's quirks became their quirks as well. Like Aythm eating suspicious foods or suddenly forgetting something and them being good with their hands (Ayt with carving and Thm with knitting) Plus Thm's specialty with fishing and Ayt's lines about fishing as well. Istg if Inzm AQ was paced well we could've gotten more of this lovely pairing.
Yup!! All we can do is hope that we will get 🧋🍡 paired together in action with some teasing moments during inz’s interlude and potential wqs and once we get shuumatsuban lore expanded upon… and you’re super on the nose about them taking in each other’s quirks, this is actually canon bcs of cute things like them saying they think they’ve forgotten something in the same exact way 😭💝 I don’t have much more to add bcs you took the words right out of my mouth.. 🧋🍡 really are perfect for each other in every way ( ◠‿◠ )
I just read your thread and thank you so much for making it. 😭 I've been seeing people saying Aythm as a ship doesn't make sense and I just want to slap your thread into their faces. I know it's not as popular as before (I blame HYV for that) but to say that is like saying "I don't read".
I wanna see Ayt and Thm going to Mndstdt. The yshr commission is always brought up in events recently I maybe delusional but I hope at 5.X we will eventually see these two interact again.
I want a Tyvt Zoo of Ayt as well as Aythm skins maybe pls HYV!!!!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!!! I think people who say things like that aren’t worth paying mind to, it is clear that aythm are sincerely loved within hyv and within the fandom as well and if people can’t see that then it really is their loss imo.. While it is true that we haven’t had some new direct contents (bcs indirectly we did receive ayt talking about thm, thm’s tcg lines, the both of them together in a new years art) in some time, I have hope that we’ll get some more crumbs of them soon bcs really it’s all we can do for now :,)
I’d also like to see aythm vacation/work/explore in mond together, and you’re so right about yshr comm getting namedropped randomly! I also feel like it’s purposeful.
An ayt tvyt plush would be a dream come true.. I can’t decide if I’d want him to be a cat or a fox though hehe. As for skins, I have sooo many I’d like to have implemented, I feel like the HeyTea collab would have been the perfect opportunity.. sniffle
Hello about your data base card for Aythm if it's alright with you can you add Ayt and Thm's personalized kmst crests pics as well. Sorry for bothering you and thank you for posting your thread for Aythm.
