No but Genshin fandom is making me feel crazy because why are you pretending Zhongli and Childe didn't interact because they did. They literally did. They had just as much as current ships in Fontaine now where people are saying so and so is canon, do people need something shoved in their face for them to admit it's canon?
I'm going to be mean because these people are being mean, half of them ship something like Childe and Diluc, when they've never even met, and then dragging Zhongchili for something that's not even true when their ships fit that description. I don't care, ship what you want, but stop using the "there's no canon" excuse. Zhongli and Childe DID have canon interactions.
And I'm sorry but people using the new Sumeru ship to put down other m/m ships like its a contest need to stop, if you can't enjoy your ship without needing to put another ship down for no reason then you're immature.
Yeah... these ppl need to take a look into the mirror.😔 There is really no use to discuss with these kind of ppl that only seem to love spread hate in hope for us to stop loving what we love. "Live and let live" is important to create a nice environment and they aren't helping at all here. Wouldn't it be better to use your energy to create more fanworks for your ship and spread love instead of spreading hate towards what you don't like? Is being united to hate on something together, what makes your ship better? It all keeps boiling down to: you only hate it because it is popular. Nobody would care to attack us if it wasn't. The many times I had to read that we only ship them because it's two tall men. Just leave us alone then, why is it so difficult? Isn't it funny when even "neutral non-shipper" lore enthusiasts talk about them being friends and having canon interactions, while the group of ppl who obviously hate the ship, are denying it?
It's very strange to me, because when I first started GI with 2.0 (I already was aware they were kind of a popular ship & I started because Raiden Shogun is my waifu voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro in JP) and then when I got to meet these two, I immediately understood why ppl ship them together. Their dynamic, them being harbinger and an archon--- there are so many things that made me fall in love with these two, but I can also understand when it's not someone's cup of tea. I would still respect the character's relationship even if I didn't end up shipping them just like I do with many other characters and their relationships. But hmmm, guess it's no surprise knowing how majority of the fandom lacks reading comprehension. Where everything was heavy implied in the older patches, in the new writing style everything is just presented directly to the reader. And then we have the many times paimon repeats something in AQ again which was already in many cases obvious to make absolutely sure we understood things correctly.
Now going back to older updates... how can anyone read 1.1, trying to understand Childe and Zhongli's character and come to the conclusion they didn't interact? It shows that we do not share the same base for a discussion. We had a bunch of crumbs in dialogue, Ch revealing "secrets" about ZL, other fatui members saying that ZL is a close person to Ch, the Fatui working together with WFP... all which showed us that they must be close friends. THEY EVEN HAVE VOICE LINES ABOUT EACH OTHER! But apparently for many ppl this isn't canon, because the game does not straight up spoonfed you and now with the change of writing makes me wonder if ppl are trying to invalid their relationship even harder. I do wonder.... Has too much time passed since 1.1 that people just forgot all these scenes and lines of dialogue? Or did many ppl just skip the story, because they had no interest in it?
