hoyo wlw spaces are so rarepair focused that you can't analyze obvious platonic and overcomplicated bonds, or on the other hand, they don't even appreciate the relationships that are actually meant to be read as romantic and are implied/canon. I feel like emk is overlooked, yes, they are extremely popular, i would dare to say the most popular wlw from any gacha, but people don't invest in their lore/story, the liking for them and their bond is always superficial (kinda just like every wlw ship now) like oh purple x pink couple, tease x stoic and stuff like that, and it doesn't help that wlw shippers would rather engage in stupid ass discourse than analyze and talk about their ships. The way KV has always been a token of discussion and never appreciated for being the most beautifully written piece in the game... the other day i was trying to find a saiguu art and now her name is just plagued with discourse too, like not even the death baddies are safe anymore
hoyo wlw spaces are just not habitable at this pointjrjr shipping was made into fast fashion and nothing ever sticks, no analyses, not much thinking, just tumblr piled delusions and tropes that don’t even fit. then some head artist comes up with a poorly substantiated crackship and everyone flocks to it. repeat. i talked about it once but for emk specifically people just successfully boxed them into a married couple (bcs of aq alone) and assumed there was nothing else to talk about when its gravely wrong. kv as you said was a point of conflict for so long yet it was disappointingly ignored by the shippers. so much info for inz worldbuilding, miko’s sincerity, her love for ei that stood time, her relationship with mortals and some known inhumans, her motivations, etc.., but everyone including the shippers hyperfocused on the task to defend eimiko from proship allegations or whatever ITS JUST STUPID..
