Mahito is there too ig.

SAMPO HAS RETURNED! After much *drama* yesterday. The votes have been counted… the scales have tipped… and our next victorious pairing issssss… ⭐🥁✨
HIMEKO X

Now you may ask, "Didn't Miss Constance and Black Swan win?" and I say YES! They did! However, due to my wonderful ability for foresight... I had surmised that surely the swan polycule would have ALSO won toxic polycule. Which just won't do! Variety is the spice of life baby~☆* Their runners up have very graciously taken up this spot.

But don’t get too comfortable, my darlings… ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ because we move swiftly onward…

I know this may be unpopular due to how many people dislike ML. However Sampo is the only character in the game I can see it working for if he really is Aha and trailblazer really is some incarnation of Akivili. It's not a relationship with no buildup just because Mc-Kun is so cool and girls/guys keep fawning over them, it's something that's been hinted at since the beginning. In the narrative it wouldn't seem out of place like a lot of Mc x character, stuff hoyo has done is.

And thanks to Sampo already being a well established character I doubt they'd butcher his personality either when it's revealed.

I need Hoyo to stop focusing on the self inserters for romance and to think about how deep they could make the character interactions if they saw TB as an actual character and individual rather than something to project onto.

I had a hard time doing this because I actually don't feel particularly strongly about one ship over another, as I do in other media. There are just so many characters that I find myself loving most ships. This is also one of the few pieces of media I find myself multishipping for. So yes, I do think Ruanmei, Herta, and Screwy are in an asexual polycule.

Edit: this is not for sexuality! It’s for ships! A character being in a WLW relationship doesn’t mean they are lesbain. Straight doesn’t mean straight etc!

I’m tired.

There are so many beautiful 2d artworks in the game. LET US VIEW RHEM IN OUR ROOM DAMNIT.

I can’t goon to my waifu because some foid made her too dark! The horror!
