This is my first ever unscripted video and my longest video by far. I tried my best to make it good but I don’t think it compares to my shorter and scripted videos, still I hope it’s not disappointing or anything. I’ll definitely stick to mostly scripted videos but this was also really fun to make and I learned a lot from making it. It was really weird talking without a script, I was so anxious while talking because I didn’t want the video to turn out boring so in the back of my mind I was always like :”say something funny, SAY SOMETHING FUNNY”. English being my 3rd language also doesn’t help with talking lol. I had to cut out like 20 minutes of stuttering, saying things incorrectly and silence. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. I wish you all the best :) ZZZ Channel: www.youtube.com/@WolfisorZero Thumbnail: Arle x Furina art: twitter.com/overtonerhine/status/1743910135213470118 Navia x Clorinde art: twitter.com/blondeee_mr/status/1692588728336933091 If you want to support me: ko-fi.com/wolfisor
I think people ship Bennett and Fischl because they're not only both adventurers but they're the only friends that they have, I think the dynamic between them is pretty cute
There's also an unlockable cutscene that shows they hangout very often. If you cure the sick girl in Mondstadt and take her adventuring enough times it'll pop up!! Fun easter egg!!
I think you missed a lot of Eula's and Amber's interactions to put them in "why?", mostly on the Dragonspine event which shows Eula being extremely protective of Amber and giving her more attention rather than her other friends, search "Eula saves Amber cutscene" and you'll see they're pretty cute! Also they even took a bath together, even tho it was in dragonspine so Amber probably freezed in there 😅 Also I think you went a little crazy there in the end, are you sure you don't need help? 😂
Ooh I see, that actually sounds really cute. Unfortunately I didn't get to play that event. I've only been playing since 2.8 I wish there was a way to play past events :(
Well I think Genshin ruined this ship by Eula saying in the cooking event that both Amber and Mika are underage (can't bring wine to them)..... Unless Amber and Mika have some kinda of allergies or Hoyo don't really care about this ship.
@@saifsolid679Apparently, in the CN version of that script, it states that Amber and Mika can’t handle their alcohol, not that they can’t legally drink. I'm not sure why the EN scriptwriters decided to write that they "can’t drink."
Actually Beidou and Ningguang have a pretty similar background, both born and grow in a rural village, to the point they actually meet when kids. Then Beidou is called the "Uncrowned Queen of the Sea" just because a country in the sea can't exist and well, despite being a pirate she and her fleet is basically the informal military navy of Liyue and held in pretty high regard having killed a literal god without even a vision a the time.
Well the best way to understand their relationship will be compared them with Apple Jack and Rarity from my little pony or Mr fantastic and doctor doom. Or better Spiderman and the hulk.
Well Im not the biggest fan of Zhongli x Tartaglia but I think the reason for this much popularity of this ship ( at least in the early genshin since it died down alot rn because there is no screen time of them together lol) was because they released at the same time and had Zhongli do this one ancient chinese custom that is gifting Childe dragon-and-phoenix chopsticks as a gift in his teaser. Its a very popular tactic that writers use in china to avoid having to deal with the anti gay laws. Basically the chopstick thing is like a marriage proposal. In this case tho it was probably ment to be more platonic but chinese fans went crazy and taught english fans about it and the rest is history lol. And yeah as you mentioned people memed the sugar daddy thing alot too.
Also for me yaexgorou is the same as Ittoxgorou just in another language. I mean Itto being in love with Miss Hina not knowing its Gorou is just hilarious and you can't tell me hoyoverse did not put it there for the bl troupe.
@@ZeppeliGaming Itto isnt even in love with Miss Hina though? He admires her and feels like she understands his feelings. It's idol worship not romantic love.
@@LilyNightMoon And it isnt even as if marriage is the only reason the chopsticks are gifted to anyone in china. I had a chinese player explain to me that they can be gifted for other reasons too but people only focus on the marriage thing because they use it to attack other ships saying their ship is canon when zhongli and childe have like 1 interaction in the entire quest and it isnt a positive one.
Hu Tao and Yanfei is more aesthetic based than anything else, but Yanfei does have a voiceline where she says she wishes Hu Tao would require her services more often. Bennett’s voiceline about Fischl is basically “she’s amazing!” The two of them + Razor are best buds. Kaeya and Albedo began with Kaeya’s voiceline about him, where he says, “you’re into him _as well?_” Plus, they’re both Khaenrian, and intertwined lore is always fun. I also wanted to explain Arlecchino and Columbina. All Fatui take their names from Italian theater, or commedia del arte, and in that Italian theater, the characters of Arlecchino and Columbina are lovers (which is usually a center plot point of the two) Yelan and Shenhe have no interactions in game, but those comics are extremely based so now they’re canon Kazuha and Scaramouche are not like, “you killed my family let’s kiss” but more based on the idea that they would meet and Scaramouche would learn to forgive himself. (_then_ they kiss.) Similar w Clorinde and Navia. They were childhood friends and really close, and Navia’s dad even asked Clorinde to protect her. In fact, navia’s father _wanted_ to die in that duel for Navia’s protection, which Clorinde realized. Itto and Gorou kinda make sense? I like them mostly bc Itto’s voiceline about him is “he makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside” like what else are we supposed to think? Sara and Koko: They’re kinda friends after the war happens. Koko realizes Sara is a good person and stuff. (Also the cutscene where Koko appears during a battle. Sara questioned her loyalty to Raiden there and I cannot be convinced otherwise.) IM SO SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE
Thanks for all the info! Honestly I completely forgot Kaeya and Albedo are both Khaenrian, now this ship makes way more sense to me. "Yelan and Shenhe have no interactions in game, but those comics are extremely based so now they’re canon" TRUE! It's funny how 1 person single handedly made so many people like a ships that has 0 interactions in game haha
I think it Itto x Gorou also comes from the fact that Itto canonically has a crush on Miss Hina, It was in an Inazuma event but I can't remember which one it was. However he doesn't know Gorou and Miss Hina are the same person.
@@Person1-vm2jl yes!! I meant to mention that and I’m shocked I didn’t honestly. It’s a pretty extreme crush and my guess from Itto’s voiceline is that his brain can see the similarities but he’s too dumb to see the full picture lol
Actually, there's no real age cap above 100 years on real life, so that's not such a deal. We could say Zhongli would be in like... His 40's if he existed, and Hu Tao in her 20's... IT'S STILL SO WEIRD, BYE. I hc them as father daughter.
I cried a little with the Chongyun × Xingqiu rating, but I respect your opinion. To give a "little" explination of why people ship them: Xingqiu and Chongyun fit heavily as the childhood friends to lovers trope. Most scenes that they exist in show both of them hanging out with each other. Chongyun, in particular, talks about Xingqiu A LOT. In his character story he talks about how Xingqiu was the one to change his views on himself as an exorcist. In his hangout event he also mentions Xingqiu, talking about how good of a friend he is. Xingqiu also appeared in both of chongyuns 2023 chibi arts (I think). Speaking of art, most official arts in which they appear, always have them being seen next to eachother. Xingqiu and Chongyun have also been mentioned to go out for food together a lot (as mentioned in Xianglings voice lines). Xingqiu is also a prankster around Chongyun and is known to tease him by giving him false ghost sightings and tricking him into eating spicy foods, which makes chongyun go a little crazy. Since Chongyun is very gullible (bless his soul), he often gets scammed for false information on ghost leads, so Xingqiu goes out of his way to give the money back. (This is also stated in Chongyun's character stories i believe). On the wangshu inn bulliten board, there is a chance to see a message written by Chongyun, apologizing for recking up the dining area due to his yang energy and offering to pay for any destruction. The restraunt owner mentions how xingqiu had already paid the damages prior to chongyun coming. In the first lantern rite (i think), Xingqiu and chongyun can be seen in Quince village with xingqiu supposingly dragging him there. When you click on their dialoge, Xingqiu asks Chongyun to read him a romance novel called "Yong and Hopelessly Smitten". Since this book title could potentially apply to Chongyun and xingqiu themselves, shippers theorize that Xingqiu may have chosen that book to hint at his feelings for chongyun. Another instence of potential hinting was in Chongyuns hangout event where he invites the Traveller to a haunted attraction since he needed a second person to enter with him. It was also mentioned that Xingqiu was the one to tell him about this attraction (although he omitted the fact that it was not an actual ghost infested area). Unknown to chongyun, this attration was actually meant for couples, so shippers again theorized that this may have been Xingqiu hinting again at his feelings for Chongyun. I'd also like to mention a moment from the windborne poetry event that is most likely just coincidence but still good to note. In one of the poems Xingqiu tells, he recites on the brightness and clearness of heart that cor lapis has and how it makes others wonder if they themselves are as bright and the beauty of silk and whether or not it ever feels the way other humans do. Considering Cor lapis and silk are Chongyun and Xingqius asencion materials, it is also easy to connect the poem to each of them. Chongyun is very wholesome and earnest much like the cor lapis, while Xingqiu often has to "put on an act" for others around him to uphold his reputation, which could make people wonder if he ever truly feels the same emotions others do. Again, this one is just my own speculation, so it may not hold true. Since Silk flowers are Xinqius acension material, its good to mentions Chongyun's 2021? birthday message in which he gives the Traveller silk flowers instead of his own acension material or something related to his character like most other birthday arts. Reading the message feels out of place and can be read like some sort of love confession which seems quite weird for the traveller to receive since Chongyun and the traveller don't seem all too close. It could be implied from this that the message was meant for Xingqiu rather than the traveller. Random other little facts and stuff: 1) Xingqiu gave Chongyun a friendship tassle, so Chongyun also gave Xingqiu a tassle in return. Both of these tassles can be seen on their visions (although Xingqiu has a lot of tassles, so his could also possibly be the one on his ear or leg). 2) If you invert both Chongyun and Xingqiu's designs, they switch color palletes. 3) As said in one of the special broadcasts of genshin (i think) it was mentioned that Chongyun once overheated and got a nosebleed due to Xingqiu's awful singing. 4) In the english translation of the game, Xingqiu refers to Chongyun as "Dear Chongyun" in his about Chongyun voice line 5) In the 2023 lantern rite, I think Xingqiu was hyping up Chongyun a lot, especially when the characters were voting on who to lite the fire thingy at the dinner or whatever (I can barely remember it, so just trust me bro). Although there is a very good chance the game only meant for them to be seen as friends, there also seems to be a very good chance that they could be more considering all the seemingly implied moments they have. I know they're my personal favorite ship, but I understand if others feel differently, so please dont be rude in the replies. Lastly, FRIENDS TO LOVERS!! ITS THE BEST TROPE I SWEAR!! (Gosh, I spent 2 hours writing this. Im sorry. For anyone who deems Chongyun and Xingqiu uninteresting and skip all their dialogue, please reconsider TwT they are so cool and Chongyun specifically has one of the coolest character concepts and lore imo. Anyways bye bye)
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I just didn't know much about them that's why I put them in "why", I've only been playing since 2.8 so I missed everything before that, but after reading all these comments I'm certain Xingqiu and Chongyun should be canon. It sounds like a ship the devs are really into and trying to make happen haha. It's pretty cute! :)
Omg bless your soul for writing this. I don't see 1.0 ships being talked about as much anymore these days but it's nice to know there are people who are still very passionate about this ship
I think the angle for kazuscara at least for me is less immediately romantic and more based around the potential that them meeting and interacting would have. Scaras history with kazuhas bloodline, the conflict kazuha had with the shogun, the themes about freedom and scaras openness to facing the consequences of his actions... I would love to see how them meeting and interacting would go down. It would be awesome if they had a badass magical ronin duel to settle their history, talk about inazuma and the failings of eternity. Whatever relationship comes after that would have a very interesring base to grow from. Scara has a really good voice line that sums up this potential nicely. This is sorta why i think people like kaebedo, the potential of their shared relationship with khaenriah... Which hoyo refuses to address LMAO
yess and the fact that scara wants to face the consequences of his actions, but kazuha is just content with his life as it is, hes very forgiving and chooses to look at people as their present self instead of holding grudges. I dont think they would fight but their interaction would be very interesting
@@wolfisor to me I don't really mind everyone has their own opinions, If you ship them then go for it, I just wish everyone can at least respect a person's opinion rather than being so toxic, I'm glad not one of them
some of the reasons why eimiko is honestly more than just implied are that they wear marrige anklets, always spend time together, flirts, are based on canon hoyo lesbians and also really really like the fanfic someone wrote about them that miko edited and published. also in a chinese hoyoverse livestream ei said "yae is my girlfriend" which some people call fanservice but i don't see why raiden's va would risk losing her job and maybe get in legal trouble over something like fanservice. the context for the last thing is that it's illegal to have queer characters in china but that hasn't really stopped hoyo before, they've only toned it down. hoyo has for 10 years avoided and broken the law lmao
Umm I think a great way to understand their relationship will be huntress and Black Canary from the DC universe. Or Superman and Batman that's good way to understand their relationship they are just Friends for me
I don't think you know much about genshin impact cuz no way you put ZHONGLI and HU TAO IN THE BIG LEAGUES AND IMMEDIATELY DISMISSED SO MANY SHIPS LIKE EVEN JEANLUC HAS MORE CHEMISTRY THAN ZHONGTAO
Some contexts: Amber x Eula: They grew up together, amber is in eula's team, Eula character demo ending where Eula asks amber to dance with her. Lots of mond events have amber and Eula together. Chongyun x Xinqiu: very good friends where Xinqiu pranks a lot. Chongyun's nose bled when Xinqiu sang once. Also that event where Xinqiu told chongyun that Xinqiu was reading a book called "young and in love". Clorinde x Navia: Clorinde's promise made to Navia's dad is somewhat recontextualised in Navia's vision story. Navia and Clorinde where good friends before her dad died.
Realll. In the Tevyat Travel guide volume 3 Alice talks about how back in the day, Yae would cry very easily and how Alice talked her into getting too drunk or something. So I like to think that Yae kinda sees Gorou as a reflection of her younger self. Which I really like cuz it has nice potential for a sort of mentor and mentee relationship or some nice parallels at least. And I love parallels between characters so much my dear god!!! A big thing that's wrong with my headcanon tho is that Gorou can be assumed to be a lot less smart than Yae even at the point in time where she got pressured by Alice so uhhhh
I think most of the 'why' category can be explained by the fact that usually the 'shipping' community, as many call it, view the canon as optional, or redundant. The point of shipping is not to analyze the canon and pick out ships that might make sense/work out, but instead to put characters together based on personality and what makes them most interesting. The reason many like Hu Tao/Yan Fei and Zhongli/Childe is because their personalities clash in interesting ways that might make for interesting content(fanfiction lmao). Also, pretty ppl banging has never ever been a turn off for anyone, except for maybe the aro/ace homies lurking around.
5:25 I don't ship it myself, but when they have matching pendants that they've gifted to each other as a symbol of their everlasting friendship......I can see why people would ship it
People like shipping Kaeya and Albedo for a few reasons: 1) their voice lines about each other. Kaeya has a voice line saying that Albedo is the type of person everyone likes a little bit, ending with "What, you into him too?" and Albedo has a more teasing voice line about Kaeya, saying he only needs three strokes of a pen to draw him; one for the head, one for the eye patch string, and one for the eye patch. 2) both characters have connections to Khaenri'ah, so there's some angst and complexity potential there. 3) this one is a lot more trivial, but height difference. For Childe and Zhongli: 1) Zhongli was acting as Childe's guide in Liyue while Childe looked for Morax's Gnosis. Childe did NOT know Zhongli was Morax, an came to see him as a friend (this can be seen in voice lines and in game text). There's a lot to unpack with the ending of the quest, where it's revealed that Zhongli is actually Morax, and he was basically using Childe to test his nation (though his intentions were not malicious). Thus, lots and lots of angst potential, as well as the whole "friends to (not really) enemies to (potentially) lovers" or just straight up friends-to -lovers with some betrayal and hidden identities thrown in. 2) People love a Mortal x Immortal story. It's all fluff and games until the mortal gets old and dies, and then there's even MORE angst. 3) another trivial one, but their design colors mirror each other when inverted. In games like this (where queer relationships cannot be outright stated due to censorship), character designs matching each other like this is a subtle way to queer code those characters.
Oh, so Paimon repeats everything and gets easily confused because she's a waterhead baby! Wow, that makes so much sense. New headcanon. But honestly, I'm back as a fan. I left because you passed Sushang. SUSHANG. Imagine what her thighs and that massive chicken could do to you! xD
i think the explanation of itto and gorou maybe bc of itto not knowing abotu mr hina being gorou and loving her and also his voiceline about he feeling uhmm,.,, fuzzy and warm when he sees gorou 🤨
Fanfics are just a world of their own. Doesn't really matter if the chars interact in their source material. The fanfic writers will just create their own canon. Male x male ships are super popular on fanfic sites because the writers are mostly girls that are into that. Popularity might look different on r34 sites :P although male x male pairings are popular there too.
I mean I tend to think most r34 artists don't really care about the characters beyond them looking hot. And I don't think they actually ship the things they draw.
Here is the ittorou explanation my friend, by an ittorou shipper halfway in denial: Gorou is a columnist for the Yae Publishing house and basically answers readers who write to the column for advice. But Yae Miko came up with a persona Gorou has no knowledge of called Ms. Hina. And so the readers all think this 'Ms. Hina' is answering all their letters when it's actually just Gorou. Fun fact: The fan club actually acknowledges that Yae Publishing house conceals the personal details of 'Ms. Hina' which is explicitly stated to include her gender lmao. Itto is a reader of this column and writes to it. He has a dedicated voice line to 'Ms. Hina' where he recommends the traveler to write to her if they ever have something on their mind and says that he used to be a lost soul but is not anymore and that it's all thanks to her. Also in the 'Akitsu-' something event back in 3.3 he talks about how he wrote about catching a giant fish to Ms. Hina recently. I don't exactly remember but like halfway through saying that he goes something like 'she's so amazing'. So overall we can conclude Itto might have a teeny weeny crush on Ms. Hina (but that's just my headcanon). Another fun fact: When Itto first got his vision he, after showing it off to everyone on Hanamizaka of course, wrote to Ms. Hina to ask how to make sure it's shinier than anyone else's and 'Ms. Hina' recommended cleaning it with a soft piece of cloth or something. And I think that's really sweet. Itto also states in his voiceline about Gorou that he gets all warm and fuzzy inside when he sees Gorou even though he's barely met him. Although this might just be his 'natural ability to connect with people' as the Ms. Hina fan club puts it since in the 3.3 event, a youkai says the exact same thing about Gorou after talking to him. (Also the interaction between Gorou and that youkai is sooo cute but anyways). In the 4.6 event Itto says that he only recently found out Gorou is a general and that he thought that was impressive. Also the entire event was only possible to be hosted on Watasumi island because (my memory is quite hazy on this) Itto asked Ms. Hina something (idk what) and Ms. Hina said to look for Gorou (to organise the event on Watasumi but I'm sorry I don't rebember). Anyhow so I think that means Itto and Gorou worked together to organise it a bit (offscreen sadly. I was very much hoping for on screen Gorou and Itto interactions that don't just involve Hoyoverse going: "haha remember Ms. Hina, we are going to drag that whole thing out because the CCP might come after us if we ever move that plotline forward too significantly.") Gorou may not have a voice line about Itto but in his hangout he does say: "it made me so happy everytime they'd compliment me" about the readers of his column. And with how much of a simp Itto is for Ms. Hina, he's probably written some of the compliments that make Gorou happy. So anyways that's the general (pun intended) gist of it. I am so normal about them I swear. If anyone has anything to add pls do I need to know I'm not the only one with ittorou brainrot this severe. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Childe and Zhongli had the most peculiar and most charming chemistry in the Archon Quest where Childe just payed for all of Zhongli's expenses xD idk why but I love it and clearly a lot of other people like it, too. People saw more between them there than you saw lol.
I intended them as either Lumine or Aerther x (character). That's why I said "The Traveler x ..." I don't feel like there's a significant difference between Aether and Lumine so I didn't separate their ships. As an example you can think of the "Traveler x Ayaka" ship, as either "Lumine x Ayaka" or "Aether x Ayaka". It's the same ship for me so it doesn't matter which sibling it is, it would have ended up in the same tier. I should've explained that in the video haha
4:20 my time has FREAKIN COME! Bennefischl is a cute ship because they're both adventurers who were either bullied or ostracised by other kids (Fischl's fantasies put other children off, while Bennett's bad luck made kids avoid him), something that hasn't changed as they grew up (most people only care for Fischl when she has something to report, and even then they care more for Oz's interpretation; while people STILL avoid Bennett because of his bad luck curse and treat him like a pariah). They're already friends with each other and go on adventures together. I do not believe in shipping different people with different backgrounds, who value different things (like Beiguang), I believe in people with similar backgrounds and experiences getting together because they understand each other and what they've been, so they can find comfort in each other. ALSO, Bennett buys Fischl's act hook, line and sinker. He GENUINELY believes she's a princess from another land
So the reason why I think Neuvillette x Furina should be canon is because of the flirt from act 5 and probbaly the reason why they didn't fall for each other in 500 years was because of furina don't wanting to cut her act and Neuvillette logically don't wanting to be with an userper. But I find it cute that they had their own private aqua buss (a voice line in game) and maybe they will fall for each other now that Furina is no longer acting and is her true self. 12:58
kazuscara is a league on their own, it started as a crack fun ship and time after time at every crumb hoyo graces us about their respective background story it keeps getting juicer and juicer. the cherry on top was scara becoming wanderer and being blue, red and blue is truly a classic hoyo cooked so hard there. I love foils in stories I'm gonna eat it up everytime. their stories mirror each other so well, I swear I'm just waiting for them to meet even if its a time limited event. or even some random youtube video they decide to release. I'll accept anything atp.
some more solid stuff, the official hoyowiki entries for both wanderer and kazuha, it shows character relationships and it says though they have not met wanderer deeply admires and is even pleased to share the same vision element as kazuha. THEY NEED TO MEET, talk about their pasts and whatever happens happens, I just want them to meet so bad God.....
Seeing my comfort ship in the no zone is ehhh but at least you didn't hate! But ye scara x kazuha are like basically/ enemies/lovers and sane scara and kind kazuha :)
For statistics: Ganyu/Keqing is my favorite, even if the game gives us only crumbs - but is be such a grounded, though-out partnership; ...and they are cute together. I still think that Al & Ka work better as a Bromance or good friends with problems paying the rent. I also never got the Zongli/Child ship, they used and never trusted each other in the quest. Hu Tao & Yanfei: both use pyro, live in the same city, one uses amoral business practices, the other is a lawyer - fun for a short story or a in game flirt, otherwise: why? Traveller & Ayaka: oh come one, the search for her mothers friend, the festival and then her dance didn't raised them higher than Okay? Zongli & Hu Tao sounds pretty sick, more so than Raiden & Sara; and while Raiden might not even recognize what's going on, Zongli has no such excuse. Amber & Eula: there's the end of Eula's character teaser, and their working together in the Dragonspine event with the snowman - they are cute together and complement each other in every aspect (combat, element, character, family relation).
Zhongli x Childe got explained to me in the comments, in short: Zhongli gave Childe a gift, some special chopsticks, and apperantly in Chinese tradition that COULD mean that he's romantically interested him so the community just ran with it. I find The Traveler kinda boring and I also find Ayaka kinda boring, so when I see them together I cannot think anything other than "Uhmm... Okay" Unfortunately I didn't get to play the Dragonspine event so I missed those Eula and Amber interactions :(
@@Sam-pt3qt It's perfect, they're like that mundane family next door that you see when you get in your car to go to work, and when you gett home. You chat to Aether about each other's lawns, Ayaka makes Brock's special Jelly Donuts, and then you realise that the police have been tailing Ayaka for years due to the murder of a girl named Lumine... Who is found in a trash bag behind the boiler. So yeah, perfect ship, nothing wrong with it. After all, 240 days has already shown us how crazy Ayaka is, so it's the perfect thriller!
two things 1. i agree with you on yae/gurou ship not because she has a thing for him but she does give off i can handle mutiple people and swing with anyone for fun. 2. the prowler theme was a miss opportunity for the out of pocket adding of the siblings
ARLEFURI ENJOYER HERE AND I AM SO HAPPY ITS HIGH ON THIS LIST !!!! yk its actually kinda annoying when the fandom hates on arlefuri bc its toxic yuri when the SAME fandom would ship it if it was toxic yaoi . the double standards :(
@@jereyfergerbuger7050 it is hot. And it doesn't make sense !!!! But I still love it and the idea of it just makes me happy idk why. Yk when like a ship or character just brings you joy? Like for me it's kujou Sara x kuki Shinobu, Barbara x Noelle, and arlefuri
Imagine if the real plot twist is that one of the travelers sibling is actually a clone and not real siblings it's just that their memories about being siblings were actually fabricated as a way to keep them both seek each other out however one of them whom is the abyss sibling may not know but somehow feels that way of being insignificant due to being a clone so their best shot is to prove it wrong by siding with the abyss and saving khanreiah. That would be insane. 😮
anything a dottore goes in no because he doesn’t deserve love although i understand the appeal of dottore and pantalone, my desire for his pain is stronger
honestly the second i saw some of my favs put in anything other than canon, i WAS gonna find ur address and hunt u down but honestly you made some good points ( mostly abt navia x clorinde ) and even put my otp kvthm on top so u lowk redeemed urself there :3 im still gonna slice off ur ankle for the ayaka n yoi mischaracterization tho everythings a joke btw dw u have good ships imo :3 but i really think you should research more ships in the "why" category, some of them mb wouldve been put in canon if u actually saw their cute interactions !! >< eulamber r the ultimate cuties!!!! thnks 4 the vid ^^
I'll be paying attention to my ankles from now on... I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I was worried I'm going to get drowned in hate comments but everyone so far has been really respectful! I was thinking about researching every ship so I wouldn't need the "why ?" tier but I think it was way more fun for me to jump into it with just what I know. I don't regret it, I like reading all these comments explaining what I missed. I did looked into Amber x Eula after I saw the comments and it's actually a really cute ship.
The way I was fully onboard with almost if not all ships until around the middle. Anyways even tho it’s an unscripted video I do like the commentary, it’s pretty funny.
If you wanna know why people ship arlechino and columbina, its because their names of the italian theatre and roles. In that play arlechino's role is columbina's romantic partner
Some of the ones I love that you put on the bottom: clorivia, chili, wriolette, jeanluc some of the ones I dislike that you put at the top: kaeluc, hu tao x zhongli, furina x arlecchino, neuvifuri, I'm not counting the siblings because that's obviously satire
9:54 saying this but also shipping arle and furina kinda doesnt make sense to me like nobody would go "omg the person who almost killed me and traumatized me for life is so cute I want to date them" besides that clorinde and Navias relationship has improved SO MUCH but this video came out before that development I think so yeahhh
Because story quest has Nilou go all stupid over Aether/Lumine at certain parts and the camera zooms in on her face, as if to say "Hey, look everyone, she's getting all shy and cute! That means she has feelings for them!" Also, even if she didn't buy anything, the whole set up looks like the standard anime shopping trip date thing. Except the shopkeepers are borderline shrimp. Honestly, I'm not one for shipping. I'll ship EulaxDottore because "Haha what if the doctor married his meme clone haha". I'm just saying how it could be interpreted because it was really heavy handed on the camera zoom. Though, that quest had the best The Clash reference, if only because Sharif didn't like Nilou dancing, so she rocked the casbah.
Not to hate and all but just to simplify it Scara did not kill the kaedehara clan he actually spared kazuhas ancestor I hope this clears some stuff up😁
You love arlerina because theyre "hot" even though furina is terried to arle, but putting zhongchi to the why section because zhongli treats childe as a sugar daddy?? 🤨🧐
You weren't kidding with the hot take when it comes to Clorinde and Navia. Thank you for the video, it was really fun! Also, you forgot Fischl x Mona, one of the best ships in Genshin. And i just saw it was 6 months ago XD, what are your thoughts now on Clorinde and Navia?
Glad you enjoyed the video! Clorinde and Navia now ? Hmm well there haven't been any big changes. I found it pretty cute how Navia and Clorinde play DnD together so I suppose I'm not AS MUCH against their ship as I was before. They are pretty entertaining together I'll give them that
Zhongli X venti make a lot of sense Because they are both archon's ,they have the hate-love kind of relationships, They are the Only original of tbe 7 left and non of them are a minor or too young as Zhongli is 6000+? Ig..and venti 2600? So yeah its my fav ship😅
5:27 as someone who goes crazy over xingyun, these two gay best friends are so obviously in love it’s crazy, if you read up on a lot of there interactions and cutscenes they are very protective over one another I’m too lazy to list them but yeah
I was about to comment about how low clorivia was but then at the end, I realised how unserious you were with this video so now it doesn't really bother me. I appreciate how you didn't portray clorinde as some crazed maniac who enjoyed killing navia's dad, the way i see it they were both just victims to cirsumstance. But to give more background about clorinde and navia, they weren't simply paired together because "haha sun and moon aesthetic and two hot women" because that just ignores the nuance and complexity of their relationship. Im sure you're well aware that they were childhood friends and were practically inseperable. And i agree the fact that clorinde did what she did with Callas really made me rethink about this pairing. However with their new interactions and how they made up after the archon quest made me realise that they really do need each other. Ill give a few reasons as to why: (1) Navia, who is always cheerful, friendly and burdened with the responsibilities as being spina de rosula's leader, needs clorinde whom knows her best and keeps her in check as to not overwork herself, and as a shoulder to cry on. (2) Meanwhile clorinde whom was raised in a tough childhood and is in a morally grey profession, needs navia to remind her of her humanity and that she is not simply a weapon for justice. (3) In navia's voiceline about clorinde, she mentions how clorinde became overly cautious ever since they reconciled, insinuating that clorinde still hasn't forgiven herself when navia has decided to forgive her already. According to navia, she was happy that they made up. (4) Clorinde did not expect navia to forgive her, clorinde didn't simply did what she did because of Callas' wishes, she was aware that it was either Callas or navia, she made the decision and accepted the consequences that Navia would possibly hate her and never talk to her again, all so it could guarantee her safety. I could honestly go on and on about every single interaction they have but you get the idea. It just really breaks my heart when their story and nuance is completely put aside when 4.0 was already a year ago, and navia has said herself multiple times how she forgives clorinde. Anyways their pairing, be it romamtic or platonic, will always have a special place in my heart, and i hope you can take the time to read this. P.S. im a big WrioxClorinde shipper too, she's just my favourite lol
This is my first ever unscripted video and my longest video by far. I tried my best to make it good but I don’t think it compares to my shorter and scripted videos, still I hope it’s not disappointing or anything. I’ll definitely stick to mostly scripted videos but this was also really fun to make and I learned a lot from making it.
It was really weird talking without a script, I was so anxious while talking because I didn’t want the video to turn out boring so in the back of my mind I was always like :”say something funny, SAY SOMETHING FUNNY”. English being my 3rd language also doesn’t help with talking lol. I had to cut out like 20 minutes of stuttering, saying things incorrectly and silence.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. I wish you all the best :)

I think people ship Bennett and Fischl because they're not only both adventurers but they're the only friends that they have, I think the dynamic between them is pretty cute
There's also an unlockable cutscene that shows they hangout very often. If you cure the sick girl in Mondstadt and take her adventuring enough times it'll pop up!! Fun easter egg!!
no it's because the ship's name is funny.

I think you missed a lot of Eula's and Amber's interactions to put them in "why?", mostly on the Dragonspine event which shows Eula being extremely protective of Amber and giving her more attention rather than her other friends, search "Eula saves Amber cutscene" and you'll see they're pretty cute! Also they even took a bath together, even tho it was in dragonspine so Amber probably freezed in there 😅
Also I think you went a little crazy there in the end, are you sure you don't need help? 😂
Ooh I see, that actually sounds really cute. Unfortunately I didn't get to play that event. I've only been playing since 2.8
I wish there was a way to play past events :(
@@wolfisor and also get the event weapons too, idk why hoyo doesnt want to restart it
Well I think Genshin ruined this ship by Eula saying in the cooking event that both Amber and Mika are underage (can't bring wine to them).....
Unless Amber and Mika have some kinda of allergies or Hoyo don't really care about this ship.
@@saifsolid679Apparently, in the CN version of that script, it states that Amber and Mika can’t handle their alcohol, not that they can’t legally drink. I'm not sure why the EN scriptwriters decided to write that they "can’t drink."
That’s a proship, amber is like 17 and Eula is in her mid 20s
Actually Beidou and Ningguang have a pretty similar background, both born and grow in a rural village, to the point they actually meet when kids.
Then Beidou is called the "Uncrowned Queen of the Sea" just because a country in the sea can't exist and well, despite being a pirate she and her fleet is basically the informal military navy of Liyue and held in pretty high regard having killed a literal god without even a vision a the time.
Well the best way to understand their relationship will be compared them with Apple Jack and Rarity from my little pony or Mr fantastic and doctor doom.
Or better Spiderman and the hulk.
“Say gex” got me lol
Well Im not the biggest fan of Zhongli x Tartaglia but I think the reason for this much popularity of this ship ( at least in the early genshin since it died down alot rn because there is no screen time of them together lol) was because they released at the same time and had Zhongli do this one ancient chinese custom that is gifting Childe dragon-and-phoenix chopsticks as a gift in his teaser. Its a very popular tactic that writers use in china to avoid having to deal with the anti gay laws. Basically the chopstick thing is like a marriage proposal. In this case tho it was probably ment to be more platonic but chinese fans went crazy and taught english fans about it and the rest is history lol. And yeah as you mentioned people memed the sugar daddy thing alot too.
I knew there was something more to this. Now it makes more sense why it's so popular lmao
Also for me yaexgorou is the same as Ittoxgorou just in another language. I mean Itto being in love with Miss Hina not knowing its Gorou is just hilarious and you can't tell me hoyoverse did not put it there for the bl troupe.
I completely forgot about the marriage chopsticks thing-
@@ZeppeliGaming Itto isnt even in love with Miss Hina though? He admires her and feels like she understands his feelings. It's idol worship not romantic love.
@@LilyNightMoon And it isnt even as if marriage is the only reason the chopsticks are gifted to anyone in china. I had a chinese player explain to me that they can be gifted for other reasons too but people only focus on the marriage thing because they use it to attack other ships saying their ship is canon when zhongli and childe have like 1 interaction in the entire quest and it isnt a positive one.
Hu Tao and Yanfei is more aesthetic based than anything else, but Yanfei does have a voiceline where she says she wishes Hu Tao would require her services more often.
Bennett’s voiceline about Fischl is basically “she’s amazing!” The two of them + Razor are best buds.
Kaeya and Albedo began with Kaeya’s voiceline about him, where he says, “you’re into him _as well?_” Plus, they’re both Khaenrian, and intertwined lore is always fun.
I also wanted to explain Arlecchino and Columbina. All Fatui take their names from Italian theater, or commedia del arte, and in that Italian theater, the characters of Arlecchino and Columbina are lovers (which is usually a center plot point of the two)
Yelan and Shenhe have no interactions in game, but those comics are extremely based so now they’re canon
Kazuha and Scaramouche are not like, “you killed my family let’s kiss” but more based on the idea that they would meet and Scaramouche would learn to forgive himself. (_then_ they kiss.)
Similar w Clorinde and Navia. They were childhood friends and really close, and Navia’s dad even asked Clorinde to protect her. In fact, navia’s father _wanted_ to die in that duel for Navia’s protection, which Clorinde realized.
Itto and Gorou kinda make sense? I like them mostly bc Itto’s voiceline about him is “he makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside” like what else are we supposed to think?
Sara and Koko: They’re kinda friends after the war happens. Koko realizes Sara is a good person and stuff. (Also the cutscene where Koko appears during a battle. Sara questioned her loyalty to Raiden there and I cannot be convinced otherwise.)
IM SO SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE
Thanks for all the info! Honestly I completely forgot Kaeya and Albedo are both Khaenrian, now this ship makes way more sense to me.
"Yelan and Shenhe have no interactions in game, but those comics are extremely based so now they’re canon" TRUE! It's funny how 1 person single handedly made so many people like a ships that has 0 interactions in game haha
No problem! I find comfort in a lot of ships so rambling about them is always fun :)
I think it Itto x Gorou also comes from the fact that Itto canonically has a crush on Miss Hina, It was in an Inazuma event but I can't remember which one it was. However he doesn't know Gorou and Miss Hina are the same person.
@@Person1-vm2jl yes!! I meant to mention that and I’m shocked I didn’t honestly. It’s a pretty extreme crush and my guess from Itto’s voiceline is that his brain can see the similarities but he’s too dumb to see the full picture lol

@@cookie_gamer2670 i was not so sure about Hu tao's age and didnt knew, so to dont inform wrong information i wrote "NOT EVEN probably at her 30'S''

but to be honest age doesn't really matter at this point anymore
I cried a little with the Chongyun × Xingqiu rating, but I respect your opinion.
To give a "little" explination of why people ship them:
Xingqiu and Chongyun fit heavily as the childhood friends to lovers trope. Most scenes that they exist in show both of them hanging out with each other. Chongyun, in particular, talks about Xingqiu A LOT. In his character story he talks about how Xingqiu was the one to change his views on himself as an exorcist. In his hangout event he also mentions Xingqiu, talking about how good of a friend he is. Xingqiu also appeared in both of chongyuns 2023 chibi arts (I think). Speaking of art, most official arts in which they appear, always have them being seen next to eachother. Xingqiu and Chongyun have also been mentioned to go out for food together a lot (as mentioned in Xianglings voice lines). Xingqiu is also a prankster around Chongyun and is known to tease him by giving him false ghost sightings and tricking him into eating spicy foods, which makes chongyun go a little crazy. Since Chongyun is very gullible (bless his soul), he often gets scammed for false information on ghost leads, so Xingqiu goes out of his way to give the money back. (This is also stated in Chongyun's character stories i believe). On the wangshu inn bulliten board, there is a chance to see a message written by Chongyun, apologizing for recking up the dining area due to his yang energy and offering to pay for any destruction. The restraunt owner mentions how xingqiu had already paid the damages prior to chongyun coming. In the first lantern rite (i think), Xingqiu and chongyun can be seen in Quince village with xingqiu supposingly dragging him there. When you click on their dialoge, Xingqiu asks Chongyun to read him a romance novel called "Yong and Hopelessly Smitten". Since this book title could potentially apply to Chongyun and xingqiu themselves, shippers theorize that Xingqiu may have chosen that book to hint at his feelings for chongyun. Another instence of potential hinting was in Chongyuns hangout event where he invites the Traveller to a haunted attraction since he needed a second person to enter with him. It was also mentioned that Xingqiu was the one to tell him about this attraction (although he omitted the fact that it was not an actual ghost infested area). Unknown to chongyun, this attration was actually meant for couples, so shippers again theorized that this may have been Xingqiu hinting again at his feelings for Chongyun. I'd also like to mention a moment from the windborne poetry event that is most likely just coincidence but still good to note. In one of the poems Xingqiu tells, he recites on the brightness and clearness of heart that cor lapis has and how it makes others wonder if they themselves are as bright and the beauty of silk and whether or not it ever feels the way other humans do. Considering Cor lapis and silk are Chongyun and Xingqius asencion materials, it is also easy to connect the poem to each of them. Chongyun is very wholesome and earnest much like the cor lapis, while Xingqiu often has to "put on an act" for others around him to uphold his reputation, which could make people wonder if he ever truly feels the same emotions others do. Again, this one is just my own speculation, so it may not hold true. Since Silk flowers are Xinqius acension material, its good to mentions Chongyun's 2021? birthday message in which he gives the Traveller silk flowers instead of his own acension material or something related to his character like most other birthday arts. Reading the message feels out of place and can be read like some sort of love confession which seems quite weird for the traveller to receive since Chongyun and the traveller don't seem all too close. It could be implied from this that the message was meant for Xingqiu rather than the traveller.
Random other little facts and stuff:
1) Xingqiu gave Chongyun a friendship tassle, so Chongyun also gave Xingqiu a tassle in return. Both of these tassles can be seen on their visions (although Xingqiu has a lot of tassles, so his could also possibly be the one on his ear or leg).
2) If you invert both Chongyun and Xingqiu's designs, they switch color palletes.
3) As said in one of the special broadcasts of genshin (i think) it was mentioned that Chongyun once overheated and got a nosebleed due to Xingqiu's awful singing.
4) In the english translation of the game, Xingqiu refers to Chongyun as "Dear Chongyun" in his about Chongyun voice line
5) In the 2023 lantern rite, I think Xingqiu was hyping up Chongyun a lot, especially when the characters were voting on who to lite the fire thingy at the dinner or whatever (I can barely remember it, so just trust me bro).
Although there is a very good chance the game only meant for them to be seen as friends, there also seems to be a very good chance that they could be more considering all the seemingly implied moments they have. I know they're my personal favorite ship, but I understand if others feel differently, so please dont be rude in the replies.
Lastly, FRIENDS TO LOVERS!! ITS THE BEST TROPE I SWEAR!!
(Gosh, I spent 2 hours writing this. Im sorry. For anyone who deems Chongyun and Xingqiu uninteresting and skip all their dialogue, please reconsider TwT they are so cool and Chongyun specifically has one of the coolest character concepts and lore imo. Anyways bye bye)
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I just didn't know much about them that's why I put them in "why", I've only been playing since 2.8 so I missed everything before that, but after reading all these comments I'm certain Xingqiu and Chongyun should be canon. It sounds like a ship the devs are really into and trying to make happen haha. It's pretty cute! :)

7:20 these comics are the reason i started playing genshin and i am proud of that
I think the angle for kazuscara at least for me is less immediately romantic and more based around the potential that them meeting and interacting would have. Scaras history with kazuhas bloodline, the conflict kazuha had with the shogun, the themes about freedom and scaras openness to facing the consequences of his actions... I would love to see how them meeting and interacting would go down. It would be awesome if they had a badass magical ronin duel to settle their history, talk about inazuma and the failings of eternity. Whatever relationship comes after that would have a very interesring base to grow from. Scara has a really good voice line that sums up this potential nicely. This is sorta why i think people like kaebedo, the potential of their shared relationship with khaenriah... Which hoyo refuses to address LMAO
This is _exactly_ why I ship them. Not romance at first, but their stories are already very intertwined.
yess and the fact that scara wants to face the consequences of his actions, but kazuha is just content with his life as it is, hes very forgiving and chooses to look at people as their present self instead of holding grudges. I dont think they would fight but their interaction would be very interesting

@@illmentaly I have no idea what you mean. Zhongli is just a nice definitely human gentleman in his 30s or something.
some of the reasons why eimiko is honestly more than just implied are that they wear marrige anklets, always spend time together, flirts, are based on canon hoyo lesbians and also really really like the fanfic someone wrote about them that miko edited and published. also in a chinese hoyoverse livestream ei said "yae is my girlfriend" which some people call fanservice but i don't see why raiden's va would risk losing her job and maybe get in legal trouble over something like fanservice. the context for the last thing is that it's illegal to have queer characters in china but that hasn't really stopped hoyo before, they've only toned it down. hoyo has for 10 years avoided and broken the law lmao

Some contexts:
Amber x Eula:
They grew up together, amber is in eula's team, Eula character demo ending where Eula asks amber to dance with her. Lots of mond events have amber and Eula together.
Chongyun x Xinqiu: very good friends where Xinqiu pranks a lot. Chongyun's nose bled when Xinqiu sang once. Also that event where Xinqiu told chongyun that Xinqiu was reading a book called "young and in love".
Clorinde x Navia: Clorinde's promise made to Navia's dad is somewhat recontextualised in Navia's vision story. Navia and Clorinde where good friends before her dad died.
the end got me i was like WHY THE SIBLINGS?!
I can't say I blame miko, gorou is just too peggable
Realll. In the Tevyat Travel guide volume 3 Alice talks about how back in the day, Yae would cry very easily and how Alice talked her into getting too drunk or something. So I like to think that Yae kinda sees Gorou as a reflection of her younger self. Which I really like cuz it has nice potential for a sort of mentor and mentee relationship or some nice parallels at least. And I love parallels between characters so much my dear god!!! A big thing that's wrong with my headcanon tho is that Gorou can be assumed to be a lot less smart than Yae even at the point in time where she got pressured by Alice so uhhhh
I think most of the 'why' category can be explained by the fact that usually the 'shipping' community, as many call it, view the canon as optional, or redundant. The point of shipping is not to analyze the canon and pick out ships that might make sense/work out, but instead to put characters together based on personality and what makes them most interesting. The reason many like Hu Tao/Yan Fei and Zhongli/Childe is because their personalities clash in interesting ways that might make for interesting content(fanfiction lmao). Also, pretty ppl banging has never ever been a turn off for anyone, except for maybe the aro/ace homies lurking around.
5:25 I don't ship it myself, but when they have matching pendants that they've gifted to each other as a symbol of their everlasting friendship......I can see why people would ship it
I like how you say that your opinion on NaviaxChrorinde is the most controversial one right after saying HuTaoxZhongli should be cannon lmao.
2:51 RED FLAG

THAT'S the only red flag you see in this video, really?? Nothing else??
@@Leon_LF nope, but this is just the earliest one I saw
@@dragonmoonwave Nice, at least there's someone normal on this hellhole of a comment section.
People like shipping Kaeya and Albedo for a few reasons:
1) their voice lines about each other. Kaeya has a voice line saying that Albedo is the type of person everyone likes a little bit, ending with "What, you into him too?" and Albedo has a more teasing voice line about Kaeya, saying he only needs three strokes of a pen to draw him; one for the head, one for the eye patch string, and one for the eye patch.
2) both characters have connections to Khaenri'ah, so there's some angst and complexity potential there.
3) this one is a lot more trivial, but height difference.
For Childe and Zhongli:
1) Zhongli was acting as Childe's guide in Liyue while Childe looked for Morax's Gnosis. Childe did NOT know Zhongli was Morax, an came to see him as a friend (this can be seen in voice lines and in game text). There's a lot to unpack with the ending of the quest, where it's revealed that Zhongli is actually Morax, and he was basically using Childe to test his nation (though his intentions were not malicious). Thus, lots and lots of angst potential, as well as the whole "friends to (not really) enemies to (potentially) lovers" or just straight up friends-to -lovers with some betrayal and hidden identities thrown in.
2) People love a Mortal x Immortal story. It's all fluff and games until the mortal gets old and dies, and then there's even MORE angst.
3) another trivial one, but their design colors mirror each other when inverted. In games like this (where queer relationships cannot be outright stated due to censorship), character designs matching each other like this is a subtle way to queer code those characters.
Oh, so Paimon repeats everything and gets easily confused because she's a waterhead baby!

i think the explanation of itto and gorou maybe bc of itto not knowing abotu mr hina being gorou and loving her and also his voiceline about he feeling uhmm,.,, fuzzy and warm when he sees gorou 🤨
Fanfics are just a world of their own. Doesn't really matter if the chars interact in their source material. The fanfic writers will just create their own canon. Male x male ships are super popular on fanfic sites because the writers are mostly girls that are into that. Popularity might look different on r34 sites :P although male x male pairings are popular there too.
I did some "research" on R34, there was a lot of girl x girl(with...big weapon)
Not complaining tbh
Yeah r34 artists really like their girls with big weapons. Anything non vanilla is massively overrepresented really.@@wolfisor
I mean I tend to think most r34 artists don't really care about the characters beyond them looking hot. And I don't think they actually ship the things they draw.

Here is the ittorou explanation my friend, by an ittorou shipper halfway in denial:
Gorou is a columnist for the Yae Publishing house and basically answers readers who write to the column for advice. But Yae Miko came up with a persona Gorou has no knowledge of called Ms. Hina. And so the readers all think this 'Ms. Hina' is answering all their letters when it's actually just Gorou.
Fun fact: The fan club actually acknowledges that Yae Publishing house conceals the personal details of 'Ms. Hina' which is explicitly stated to include her gender lmao.
Itto is a reader of this column and writes to it. He has a dedicated voice line to 'Ms. Hina' where he recommends the traveler to write to her if they ever have something on their mind and says that he used to be a lost soul but is not anymore and that it's all thanks to her. Also in the 'Akitsu-' something event back in 3.3 he talks about how he wrote about catching a giant fish to Ms. Hina recently. I don't exactly remember but like halfway through saying that he goes something like 'she's so amazing'. So overall we can conclude Itto might have a teeny weeny crush on Ms. Hina (but that's just my headcanon).
Another fun fact: When Itto first got his vision he, after showing it off to everyone on Hanamizaka of course, wrote to Ms. Hina to ask how to make sure it's shinier than anyone else's and 'Ms. Hina' recommended cleaning it with a soft piece of cloth or something. And I think that's really sweet.
Itto also states in his voiceline about Gorou that he gets all warm and fuzzy inside when he sees Gorou even though he's barely met him. Although this might just be his 'natural ability to connect with people' as the Ms. Hina fan club puts it since in the 3.3 event, a youkai says the exact same thing about Gorou after talking to him. (Also the interaction between Gorou and that youkai is sooo cute but anyways).
In the 4.6 event Itto says that he only recently found out Gorou is a general and that he thought that was impressive. Also the entire event was only possible to be hosted on Watasumi island because (my memory is quite hazy on this) Itto asked Ms. Hina something (idk what) and Ms. Hina said to look for Gorou (to organise the event on Watasumi but I'm sorry I don't rebember). Anyhow so I think that means Itto and Gorou worked together to organise it a bit (offscreen sadly. I was very much hoping for on screen Gorou and Itto interactions that don't just involve Hoyoverse going: "haha remember Ms. Hina, we are going to drag that whole thing out because the CCP might come after us if we ever move that plotline forward too significantly.")
Gorou may not have a voice line about Itto but in his hangout he does say: "it made me so happy everytime they'd compliment me" about the readers of his column. And with how much of a simp Itto is for Ms. Hina, he's probably written some of the compliments that make Gorou happy.
So anyways that's the general (pun intended) gist of it. I am so normal about them I swear. If anyone has anything to add pls do I need to know I'm not the only one with ittorou brainrot this severe. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
let's go another way for me to preach the good word of scaramona supermacy
Childe and Zhongli had the most peculiar and most charming chemistry in the Archon Quest where Childe just payed for all of Zhongli's expenses xD idk why but I love it and clearly a lot of other people like it, too. People saw more between them there than you saw lol.
Great video. But im a little disappointed that all aether and lumine ships are just straight, i would love some lesbian lumine😔
I intended them as either Lumine or Aerther x (character). That's why I said "The Traveler x ..."
I don't feel like there's a significant difference between Aether and Lumine so I didn't separate their ships.
As an example you can think of the "Traveler x Ayaka" ship, as either "Lumine x Ayaka" or "Aether x Ayaka".
It's the same ship for me so it doesn't matter which sibling it is, it would have ended up in the same tier.
I should've explained that in the video haha
4:20 my time has FREAKIN COME!
Bennefischl is a cute ship because they're both adventurers who were either bullied or ostracised by other kids (Fischl's fantasies put other children off, while Bennett's bad luck made kids avoid him), something that hasn't changed as they grew up (most people only care for Fischl when she has something to report, and even then they care more for Oz's interpretation; while people STILL avoid Bennett because of his bad luck curse and treat him like a pariah). They're already friends with each other and go on adventures together. I do not believe in shipping different people with different backgrounds, who value different things (like Beiguang), I believe in people with similar backgrounds and experiences getting together because they understand each other and what they've been, so they can find comfort in each other. ALSO, Bennett buys Fischl's act hook, line and sinker. He GENUINELY believes she's a princess from another land
Don’t ever let this man cook 💀🙏
So the reason why I think Neuvillette x Furina should be canon is because of the flirt from act 5 and probbaly the reason why they didn't fall for each other in 500 years was because of furina don't wanting to cut her act and Neuvillette logically don't wanting to be with an userper. But I find it cute that they had their own private aqua buss (a voice line in game) and maybe they will fall for each other now that Furina is no longer acting and is her true self. 12:58
kazuscara is a league on their own, it started as a crack fun ship and time after time at every crumb hoyo graces us about their respective background story it keeps getting juicer and juicer. the cherry on top was scara becoming wanderer and being blue, red and blue is truly a classic hoyo cooked so hard there. I love foils in stories I'm gonna eat it up everytime. their stories mirror each other so well, I swear I'm just waiting for them to meet even if its a time limited event. or even some random youtube video they decide to release. I'll accept anything atp.
some more solid stuff, the official hoyowiki entries for both wanderer and kazuha, it shows character relationships and it says though they have not met wanderer deeply admires and is even pleased to share the same vision element as kazuha.
THEY NEED TO MEET, talk about their pasts and whatever happens happens, I just want them to meet so bad God.....
The arlecchino meat riding and glazing is crazy bro
Edit: i bet this guy was an only child the way he rated the last ships… i know what you are bro
I believe in Hu Tao x Traveler Supremacy 🙏, this must be canon, she even flirts with you in serenita pot
Now that you say it, I kinda like it. I would have put in either "I Love them" or "cute"
I think we know what his favourte tag is…
I'm sad because literally kazuhei and heikuki weren't here😭
SO REAL
KAZUHEI SO REAL !!!!
Seeing my comfort ship in the no zone is ehhh but at least you didn't hate! But ye scara x kazuha are like basically/ enemies/lovers and sane scara and kind kazuha :)
Arlefuri is toxic yuri but I can't help but love it, think of Dom top and sub bottom
13:42
Sweet home alabama💀
when i tell yall my mouth was wide open and i has tears of pure shock at the end I AM NOT KIDDING BRO WHAT WAS THAT
As someone whose otp is HaiKaveh, THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU HAVE GIVEN ME MORE OF THE WILL TO LIVE.
Edit: Nevermind. I just watched the end.
I told you to click off the video...😔
@@wolfisor rules are made to broken
For statistics: Ganyu/Keqing is my favorite, even if the game gives us only crumbs - but is be such a grounded, though-out partnership; ...and they are cute together.
I still think that Al & Ka work better as a Bromance or good friends with problems paying the rent.
I also never got the Zongli/Child ship, they used and never trusted each other in the quest.
Hu Tao & Yanfei: both use pyro, live in the same city, one uses amoral business practices, the other is a lawyer - fun for a short story or a in game flirt, otherwise: why?
Traveller & Ayaka: oh come one, the search for her mothers friend, the festival and then her dance didn't raised them higher than Okay?
Zongli & Hu Tao sounds pretty sick, more so than Raiden & Sara; and while Raiden might not even recognize what's going on, Zongli has no such excuse.
Amber & Eula: there's the end of Eula's character teaser, and their working together in the Dragonspine event with the snowman - they are cute together and complement each other in every aspect (combat, element, character, family relation).
Zhongli x Childe got explained to me in the comments, in short: Zhongli gave Childe a gift, some special chopsticks, and apperantly in Chinese tradition that COULD mean that he's romantically interested him so the community just ran with it.
I find The Traveler kinda boring and I also find Ayaka kinda boring, so when I see them together I cannot think anything other than "Uhmm... Okay"
Unfortunately I didn't get to play the Dragonspine event so I missed those Eula and Amber interactions :(
@@wolfisor But doesn't the Ferrylady comment "fortunally the Northland Bank is founding this particular bill."?
@@wolfisor Same bro, same. Traveller and Ayaka are boring together
@@Sam-pt3qt It's perfect, they're like that mundane family next door that you see when you get in your car to go to work, and when you gett home. You chat to Aether about each other's lawns, Ayaka makes Brock's special Jelly Donuts, and then you realise that the police have been tailing Ayaka for years due to the murder of a girl named Lumine... Who is found in a trash bag behind the boiler.
So yeah, perfect ship, nothing wrong with it. After all, 240 days has already shown us how crazy Ayaka is, so it's the perfect thriller!
currently tracking this man down for putting furina x arlechhino above no tier (joke)
i should've listened an clicked off at 13:38
I thought that the thumbnail was clickbait😭😭
"They are room mates like my parents room mates" GOT ME ROLLING
two things
1. i agree with you on yae/gurou ship not because she has a thing for him but she does give off i can handle mutiple people and swing with anyone for fun.
2. the prowler theme was a miss opportunity for the out of pocket adding of the siblings
Damn you're right, I didn't think about the prowler theme 😂
@@wolfisor XD
why are the siblings the mostly highly rated ships of yours lad??
incest is wincest !
WHAT
@@jvvpiter_ Ahhh, the battle cry of the anime buddies!
I believe I have been bamboozled. Please forgive my sleep deprivation, here's some Kokopium.
@@wolfisor you're a creep!! go outside!! green aura with flies!! take a shower please!!
This actually makes a whole lota sense
I love that he says traveller to refer to both of them and not just one
ARLEFURI ENJOYER HERE AND I AM SO HAPPY ITS HIGH ON THIS LIST !!!! yk its actually kinda annoying when the fandom hates on arlefuri bc its toxic yuri when the SAME fandom would ship it if it was toxic yaoi . the double standards :(
You realize he only likes it bc it’s hot, and not that it makes any sense lol. Most people don’t like it bc it’s weird and toxic
@@jereyfergerbuger7050 it is hot. And it doesn't make sense !!!! But I still love it and the idea of it just makes me happy idk why. Yk when like a ship or character just brings you joy? Like for me it's kujou Sara x kuki Shinobu, Barbara x Noelle, and arlefuri
Imagine if the real plot twist is that one of the travelers sibling is actually a clone and not real siblings it's just that their memories about being siblings were actually fabricated as a way to keep them both seek each other out however one of them whom is the abyss sibling may not know but somehow feels that way of being insignificant due to being a clone so their best shot is to prove it wrong by siding with the abyss and saving khanreiah. That would be insane. 😮
Oh I was waiting for Zhongli Nigguang ship. It was a famous ship back then.
2:20 NAH ur giving me flashbacks😭
anything a dottore goes in no because he doesn’t deserve love
although i understand the appeal of dottore and pantalone, my desire for his pain is stronger
honestly the second i saw some of my favs put in anything other than canon, i WAS gonna find ur address and hunt u down but honestly you made some good points ( mostly abt navia x clorinde ) and even put my otp kvthm on top so u lowk redeemed urself there :3 im still gonna slice off ur ankle for the ayaka n yoi mischaracterization tho
everythings a joke btw dw u have good ships imo :3 but i really think you should research more ships in the "why" category, some of them mb wouldve been put in canon if u actually saw their cute interactions !! >< eulamber r the ultimate cuties!!!! thnks 4 the vid ^^
I'll be paying attention to my ankles from now on...
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I was worried I'm going to get drowned in hate comments but everyone so far has been really respectful!
I was thinking about researching every ship so I wouldn't need the "why ?" tier but I think it was way more fun for me to jump into it with just what I know. I don't regret it, I like reading all these comments explaining what I missed. I did looked into Amber x Eula after I saw the comments and it's actually a really cute ship.
The way I was fully onboard with almost if not all ships until around the middle. Anyways even tho it’s an unscripted video I do like the commentary, it’s pretty funny.
naahhh haha my top 2 ships didn't even make the tier list. xD zhongven and thomato shippers where u at. we gotta get our ships up there on the lists.
2:21 IM SHAKING
8:01 i really like this ship because i see it kinda like those two from arcane viktor’s assistant x him
Sweet home Alabama 🎵🎶
Traveler x Xiao most close to be a cannon. Every fkn event they have googly eyes for each other😂
If you wanna know why people ship arlechino and columbina, its because their names of the italian theatre and roles.
In that play arlechino's role is columbina's romantic partner
Do a honkai star rail one if you have the time,please
I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure there are enough ships to make a video about. I'll look into it :)
@@wolfisor thanks man
The end of him shipping siblings left my jaw open my mom thought I was getting hypnotised or something..
Ikr what the actual heck
I think he was being sarcastic....
@@kaoru-no-kimi yeah I think he was being sarcastic but it still left me shocked 😭
I love you wolfisor
Take me out to dinner then! (You're paying btw, I'm broke af)
@@wolfisor say no more bbg 🫡
Some of the ones I love that you put on the bottom: clorivia, chili, wriolette, jeanluc
some of the ones I dislike that you put at the top: kaeluc, hu tao x zhongli, furina x arlecchino, neuvifuri, I'm not counting the siblings because that's obviously satire
i see yae and raiden as like, the doomed yuri trope. i love it tho
I accidentally clicked on this and forced myself to continue watching
Yeah, definitely gonna ask those awesome Koikatsu / MMD creators in pixiv to make a 3some between Yae, Ei, and Gorou.
I would love to see that... For research purposes of course 👀
9:54 saying this but also shipping arle and furina kinda doesnt make sense to me like nobody would go "omg the person who almost killed me and traumatized me for life is so cute I want to date them" besides that clorinde and Navias relationship has improved SO MUCH but this video came out before that development I think so yeahhh
I was AetherXAyaka fan, but now I'm AetherXNavia enjoyer.
Btw, I still don't understand why someone ship Aether with Nilou.
Because story quest has Nilou go all stupid over Aether/Lumine at certain parts and the camera zooms in on her face, as if to say "Hey, look everyone, she's getting all shy and cute! That means she has feelings for them!"
Also, even if she didn't buy anything, the whole set up looks like the standard anime shopping trip date thing. Except the shopkeepers are borderline shrimp.
Honestly, I'm not one for shipping. I'll ship EulaxDottore because "Haha what if the doctor married his meme clone haha". I'm just saying how it could be interpreted because it was really heavy handed on the camera zoom. Though, that quest had the best The Clash reference, if only because Sharif didn't like Nilou dancing, so she rocked the casbah.
Archons shouldn’t be shipped with random ass mortals honestly, hu tao x zhongli looks like old grandpa x woman (what the heck)
Not to hate and all but just to simplify it Scara did not kill the kaedehara clan he actually spared kazuhas ancestor I hope this clears some stuff up😁
Zhongchi has a lot more interactions than you think lol. Like even in zhongli's trailer, the archon quest, offical arts, MERCH even.
Hua tao and zhongli feels so ilegal...like putting it at i love them or cute ok there more like daughter and father for me... 😭
13:45 yall i know this is like 7 months ago but... Are we forgetting THEY'RE TWINS?!- nvm the lyney and Lynette problem the lasts ships... Areee....
You love arlerina because theyre "hot" even though furina is terried to arle, but putting zhongchi to the why section because zhongli treats childe as a sugar daddy?? 🤨🧐
1:12 not me crying, traveler x ayaka just feels right to me 😭
Collei needs an apple bc an apple a day keeps a doctor away!
You weren't kidding with the hot take when it comes to Clorinde and Navia. Thank you for the video, it was really fun! Also, you forgot Fischl x Mona, one of the best ships in Genshin. And i just saw it was 6 months ago XD, what are your thoughts now on Clorinde and Navia?
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Clorinde and Navia now ? Hmm well there haven't been any big changes. I found it pretty cute how Navia and Clorinde play DnD together so I suppose I'm not AS MUCH against their ship as I was before. They are pretty entertaining together I'll give them that
@@wolfisor Oho i see, good to hear. Thank you for the reply and i 2ish you all the best 👍🏻
fun fact childe x lumine is semi cannon (the deves actively ship them) In the early days of genshin there was a web event where the two went on a date
Other than Zhongli and Hu Tao I mostly agree
80% of the ranking you made me cry
I also like arlefuri.. do i need help? Maybe. However i cant see yae and gorou nor hu tao and zhongli and putting eulamber at why is criminal
yes!
Zhongli X venti make a lot of sense Because they are both archon's ,they have the hate-love kind of relationships, They are the Only original of tbe 7 left and non of them are a minor or too young as Zhongli is 6000+? Ig..and venti 2600? So yeah its my fav ship😅
5:27 as someone who goes crazy over xingyun, these two gay best friends are so obviously in love it’s crazy, if you read up on a lot of there interactions and cutscenes they are very protective over one another
I’m too lazy to list them but yeah
I was about to comment about how low clorivia was but then at the end, I realised how unserious you were with this video so now it doesn't really bother me. I appreciate how you didn't portray clorinde as some crazed maniac who enjoyed killing navia's dad, the way i see it they were both just victims to cirsumstance. But to give more background about clorinde and navia, they weren't simply paired together because "haha sun and moon aesthetic and two hot women" because that just ignores the nuance and complexity of their relationship. Im sure you're well aware that they were childhood friends and were practically inseperable. And i agree the fact that clorinde did what she did with Callas really made me rethink about this pairing.
However with their new interactions and how they made up after the archon quest made me realise that they really do need each other.
Ill give a few reasons as to why:
(1) Navia, who is always cheerful, friendly and burdened with the responsibilities as being spina de rosula's leader, needs clorinde whom knows her best and keeps her in check as to not overwork herself, and as a shoulder to cry on.
(2) Meanwhile clorinde whom was raised in a tough childhood and is in a morally grey profession, needs navia to remind her of her humanity and that she is not simply a weapon for justice.
(3) In navia's voiceline about clorinde, she mentions how clorinde became overly cautious ever since they reconciled, insinuating that clorinde still hasn't forgiven herself when navia has decided to forgive her already. According to navia, she was happy that they made up.
(4) Clorinde did not expect navia to forgive her, clorinde didn't simply did what she did because of Callas' wishes, she was aware that it was either Callas or navia, she made the decision and accepted the consequences that Navia would possibly hate her and never talk to her again, all so it could guarantee her safety.
I could honestly go on and on about every single interaction they have but you get the idea.
It just really breaks my heart when their story and nuance is completely put aside when 4.0 was already a year ago, and navia has said herself multiple times how she forgives clorinde. Anyways their pairing, be it romamtic or platonic, will always have a special place in my heart, and i hope you can take the time to read this.
P.S. im a big WrioxClorinde shipper too, she's just my favourite lol
RAWwrrrrrrrvnooooooo you just put two of my fave ships in Why? And Okay….😢
12:05 I would love to watch a genshin sitcom with these 2 as the main characters
