r/StelleMains

Alot of unexpected results from this pole I made a while back which was reposted on both r/honkaistarrail and r/kafkamains.

A quick little analysis, 1045 or 54% of people voted for Maternal, 577 or 29.8% voted for Mix of both, 205 or 10.6% voted for Romantic, and 108 or 5.6% voted for No strong feelings for each other.

Quite unexpected actually, I expected romantic to be much higher than it was. Here are summaries of some interesting comments and topics that people were discussing about:

1. The relationship is ment to be ambiguous and the whole appeal of the characters dynamic is that you can't really tell if their bond is romantic, family, plutonic or just mentor/student.

2. Because Kafka doesn't feel fear, she herself might not even know what Stelle means to her, as the lack of fear means that she can't express or understand certain emotions herself.

3. Their dynamic changes alot depending on what your mental age of Stelle is, if you believe she amd Kafka are relatively the same age, their interactions can feel incredibly romantic, and flarteciois, but if you think Stelle is younger that Kafka, then those same interactions seem more maternal, if there is a age gap but not so much, those are the people who write mix of both or their relationship is ambiguous, I did allow people to ise their headcanon so thats the result I got.

About responses from different subreddits, both r/stellemains and r/kafkamains were relatively balanced between maternal and romantic, wile on r/honkaistarrail was more vocal about their relationship not being those two at all and rather a friends or mentor/student results.

At the end of this day this pole doesn't really prove who is right, it's just to see what the community feels about the character dynamics between the two and doesn't really help proving what their relationship is.

Couldn’t get a nice background like the og though… I have more Stellefly on my ig @hey_huihui_
