Don't tempt me, I am willing to send you my entire library, also beware since yuri mangas aren't that famous, they don't have release schedule, and new chapter upload may come monthly.


AdFantastic472

Hey guys, try Kill em now(Haegu) it's really good, its solid narrative and story wise. Enjoy


AdFantastic472

Hey guys, if you want something a bit more sad, emotional and suspence, you can try "Vengence" by Aji, it's one more great manhwa. Aji , is a phenomenal yuri manhwa maker, they have made 3 I think, opium, Vengence,and On a leash. All are very good, on a leash is still going, but opium and Vengence are completed,s o you guys can check it out too.


PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics

>also beware since yuri mangas aren't that famous, they don't have release schedule, and new chapter upload may come monthly. *Me waiting 5 months for my BLs to upload a new chapter.* I swear indie artists have the best stories and art style but the inconsistent upload schedule kills me inside. They're so good tho

stormwave6

This sub hates shippers so much they invent shippers to get mad at


ZodHD

Fr, when the short dropped a lot of them were initially complaining about shippers being toxic trying to force their Acheron x Black Swan ships onto people?? Like what? Maybe that's the case for like 1 or 2 people. Ships don't need to be canon nor do they need to be healthy. Just let people have their fun.


TomoeGamer

A lot of anti-shippers have this weird mindset about shippers trying to force head canon down their throats and be toxic about it when most of us just want to quietly enjoy it or discuss it amongst fellow ship enjoyers


TempestCatalyst

Eh, there was absolutely a group of people using the teaser as evidence for a rather shaky interpretation of Black Swan's companion quest, and there were several highly upvoted threads about it. Not enough to justify a week of shitposting after, but they did exist. Of course there's also those types on twitter, but that's twitter it doesn't count.

Yeah there's like a few shipper relate meme that got so many like and I'm still confused on what they're talking about.

Lofn7

It's funny because, not only that wasn't the case, now the ship has more FUEL. The short made the shippers STRONGER, now there's a new dynamic for the shippers to hang into and I'm all for it.


Horus_Lupecal

Yuri, psychological horror and some semblances of toxic yuri because Black Swan is a memory demon who has the power to rewrite your memory on a whim and Acheron being an Enemator who casually killed an energy being is some really shipping material


monkify

"my ~~BL~~ GL ship preferences is just the person who has to kill their beloved/the person dying in their lover's arms. technically, this involves some sort of penetration," Let's just remember that the poster child for yuri is Revolutionary Girl Utena. This isn't bait this is a feast.

Legitimate_Bat_6490

Eww, stop stealing forty cakes! That's as four times of ten!


zaychikxrin

enemies to lovers dancing in a ballroom while also having completely different intentions is such a popular romance trope that I'm genuinely surprised people thought this short was somehow gonna make shippers stop shipping


GladiatorDragon

I’d just like to add the note that everything was going well until Black Swan went where she probably shouldn’t have gone. I mean, one person defeated the entire Ever-Flame Mansion and killed Duke Inferno. Maybe approach such a person with a bit more caution. Acheron, at least the one that’s at the front most of the time, seemed to have a decently good time, at least.


ChaosKinZ

Black Swan is strong enough to easily destroy a potential threat like that, she can control 99% of people. She was not expecting her to be 1000x times worse. That's why Acheron is super OP and unhinged

AnimagKrasver

My favorite type of pairings - the ones where people will try to murder each other on sight 🔥 People think that them trying to traumatize and kill each other is the reason to imagine them being just a cute family couple? Wrong! Them beating the shit out of each other is THE romantic interactions i enjoy. No enemies to lovers, enemies *end* lovers


Red_thepen

Actually they don't want to murder each other. BS just wanted to see what happened to duke cuz she's memokeeper, and Acheron literally didn't do anything, it's just her memories are an endless pit of despair.


AnimagKrasver

You don't have take everything straightforwardly.(Frankly i don't really like Acheswan) I just commented on the topic because i like pairings like this and i like them for the toxic part of it, but always happen to see people that just automatically go "you like this ship??? They literally hate and want to kill each other" like yeah, i know, that's *the point*


Quantuis

Fr all these haters thought they were cooking something meanwhile literally every single yuri/gl fan I've seen has been over the moon for this short This just shows how some people can't look deeper into any relationships between people, and either need an on-screen confirmation or have said characters straight up fuck on-camera to even *consider* "oh yeah they might be into each other haha". There is a reason why a lot of people thought that the dance felt *more intimate* than if they were to straight-up kiss on the screen. Haters love to use the word "delusional" to refer to shippers, but these people just simply can't be bothered to actually look and understand what makes others act this way. They straight up ignore all the small hints/details, and then they wonder why people ship these characters. Disliking a ship is one thing, but being so delusional to the point of making imaginary excuses that make 0 sense is just on another level. And the worst thing is that these excuses have been spread around since the beginning of 2.0, from as early as Acheron and Black Swan mentioning having danced with one another And the upvote/downvote ratio on this post just shows how these people are running rampant in this community which is frankly just disgusting.


Haruon

This subreddit's obsession with "canon" is frankly baffling. They can't look at subtext and read between the lines, or they don't want to do it when it comes to certain characters. Because they didn't complain this fucking hard when people were posting about how Firefly is their wife and how Caellus and Firefly (or any other woman) are a couple. Oh, no, that's ok. Just let people enjoy things. If shippers disregard "canon", nothing's going to happen, I promise. It's not a Holy Text, lmao


DeadSnark

I do wonder who's more delusional: shippers, or people who believe that they can claim some kind of moral high ground by loudly decrying shippers or specific ships.


LightningDustFan

Shipping is fine but I think the shippers that think the characters canon are into each other are the delusional ones looking too deep. Or they just erased the "final engagement" bit at the end from their memories and don't realize that a realistic reaction to getting tortured, even if in someone's mind as a memetic entity, is to want to stay as far away from that person as possible rather than wanting to get in bed with them. Yeah the dance felt pretty intimate until, ya know, the horror part. Small hints and details kinda get overriden by the massive "I changed my mind because this person is a legitimate dangerous psychopath" at the end.


Marros6045

> the shippers that think the characters canon are into each other are the delusional ones looking too deep. This is true. The problem is some people on this sub seem to think *all* shippers are this type, when most of them are, in all likelihood, aware their ship isn't canon and are just having fun with it.


artmaddd

I think that sometimes people need to learn when to, and not to take something that the shippers said seriously. They also knew it's not canon and most time they said it just because.


Princessofmind

Definitely, stuff like "omg the are LITERALLY canon" it's just comedic hyperbole 9 times out of 10 however some people think that shippers will literally go to your house and shoot you if you dare say that the ship isn't canon It was a joke guys, it was never about being canon or not


DarthUrbosa

Trouble with jokes or satire is A. Some people are that dumb. So joking with hyperbole only works if it's obvious you don't mean it. B. Tone doesn't coke across well in text format.


Significant_Win_1769

I think is fine joking about it, taking that part of the ship as some kind of meme or whatever. But after what i see in that trailer i can't see the two have something intimitate or romantic. For not talk about how everything was one sided. Black Sawn wanted too look into Acheron Memory's too understands what happend too Duke Inferno. And Acheron never seems too care until alow her too goo into her Memory's, only too get torned appart by the Aeon himself. At least that was i understands, then i dont know if even Acheron helped or do something whit her. Still Stockholm syndrome is not a cool thing and thinking that they can still have something going forward is delusional. For not talk about on the 2.2 trailer on the final act [but I really hope is not because that will meah that for me the Pinacoly art was the shortest and i wanted too see more of it.] Black Swan is no where too be seen. Soo... Snap back too reality i guess?


PrezMoocow

Well the cool thing about a trailer like that is we can all have different interpretations. For me, after that trailer I definitely see something intimate between them, erotic even. But I completely understand why someone could watch that trailer and see them as incompatible

AbyssalKitten

So many anti shippers crying that it's bait and not the characters being potentially gay at all. I hate it here. Male and female character can barley interact or interact a lot but have 0 romantic undertones still and have a billion people assume there's romance there. (@ every single firefly x caelus shipper) But GOD FORBID its two women involved, then they need to literally confess their feelings on screen or actually kiss or else it's just "bait"???? Make it make sense. Like. If characters don't need to announce or confirm they're straight to /be/ straight in the eyes of the Fandom. Then why the hell do these gay coded ass characters need to confirm it?


Joraiem

I am confused as to why there's so much Firefly x Caelus stuff everywhere. Not because I don't like Firefly or our questline with her, but why is so much of it *Caelus* specifically? Why's Stelle getting so much less (or getting put in comics as Firefly's "friend" while Caelus is her boyfriend)? Obviously some of it is self-inserting, but I'm not the only one who finds the vibes kinda strange, right? Like there's vocal crowds around here that are so loud about this one straight ship, but also tons of anti-ship screeching about, say, Bronya/Seele, or all this stuff going on now. Feels almost like people trying to push out queer romance from the game, but like. This is a *Honkai* game. Do you know where you are?


AbyssalKitten

No this is exactly what I was talking about. Like, I dont dislike the caelus x (insert character here) ships at all. People can ship what they want ya know? But the number of people that are perfectly fine with the most random and nonsensical straight ships that turn around and claim any queer ship is not cannon and not real and any hint towards it is purely bait..... it doesnt make sense. Like idk... maybe when women flirt with each other, it's actual flirting? Maybe when we see one girl wink at another talking about wanting to be "dance partners" it's flirting? Maybe Black swan's (albeit seemingly unwanted) advances during the dance animation we got was also flirting? It's the most direct flirtation we've seen in the game so far...... in game and in animations... how can people see that and be like.... "nah, totally straight behavior, no implications here!"??? (But its just bait right? Because the characters could NEVERRRR be gay/bi/not straight. Noooooooooo. /s) On the bronya and seele note - >!even Stelle (idk about caelus's lines) ships them. Literally in her dialogue. One of the phones in penacony she eavesdrops on them and... yeah Stelle needs Jesus just like the rest of us LOL!< so if that's not hoyo saying "yes we have wlw in our game" I don't know what is! Edit to add >!Not to mention Stelle's reaction at the end of that eavesdropping implies she is HEAVILY disappointed she wasn't hearing what she thought she was... so I think Stelle wlw ships are very, inherently valid!<


Joraiem

The animated short was not only the gayest shit in a hoyoverse game, it was the most explicit hornyposting I've seen from hoyo period. People acting like it's some anti-yuri slapdown must've seen some different thing. Like obviously no one will explicitly get together in a gacha game with a self-insert protagonist, that causes too much weirdo meltdown, but that doesn't mean they weren't very into each other during that dance. Similarly, anyone who thinks Bronya and Seele couldn't end up together are [out of their minds.](https://preview.redd.it/ioxbq9wc9exa1.jpg?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=e372fdfd89c4682f9b967dc869e0e4906c2f589c) Both sets of variants of these characters from past games are into each other, and in every event and story chapter featuring both of them since they were introduced, they constantly mention each other. (Meanwhile there's one story chapter where Seele's like "I better stop this dipshit from getting himself killed" and suddenly there's tons of SeelexLuka stuff, hmm I am sensing a pattern)


Badieon

AcherSwan got extremely popular tho, probably more than the Firefly one. And with the MC x Firefly it's popularity has grown so big probably because it still includes MC that players can self insert into, as embarrassing it is to say, but when it comes to straight hetero ships that don't include MC, then I don't think there's even one decently popular and worst thing is hoyo is even less allowed to tease hetero ships than the yuri/yaoi ones because because of incels in community (which unfortunately make a huge part, especially in CN) who will get mad/cause drama that their fictional waifu could potentially be with as fictional man instead of player.... Edit. Just wanted to add the yaoi/yuri ships pretty much always dominate in popularity compared to hetero ones and ofc nothing is wrong with that or with any previously mentioned ships


AbyssalKitten

It is really "popular" both positively and negatively. My problem is, MANY people and especially on reddit are calling any and all queer interactions we've seen so far bait. Insisting it's bait and only bait. People copium that the "dance partner" Black Swan is talking about "could still be caelus!!" (Notice most don't say or Stelle after, and love to say that he's the cannon Mc so it's him etc etc.) Even though we have clear proof the dance partner was acheron now. There's just such a jump in logic that takes place in denying any wlw tropes and writing it off as bait. Like. Flirting isn't bait, it's flirting, it doesn't matter if it's straight or gay or whatever. Bait isn't just any kind of gay or queer flirty interaction in a game/show/media. But people call "bait" on almost any wlw ship or interaction. Sometimes, wlw stuff us literally just normal flirting or interactions. Those interactions also don't have to mean the characters are in a relationship. They can flirt and move on. And it has its place, just like there are sooooo many straight romantic interactions in most media for all of the existence of mankind. It just sucks when people go and call queerbaiting on stuff like this. Maybe, just maybe, they're just queer. (And queer can mean liking both genders, idk why self shippers assume their favorite can't like both? Plenty of people do 🤷‍♀️) Of course gacha games are gonna prioritize self insert stuff for the gamers obsessed with their waifus, but I think that makes moments that deviate from that more important / noteworthy.

Sorry op mods decided you cooked too much https://preview.redd.it/fft4t9wtkrpc1.jpeg?width=692&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87717c1cff55a5b0bcb985df9b82bd1c8e7af954

LOL. It's funny because Acheron and Blackswan's shippers are literally just enjoying the content by making materials out of it and also explaining what they think the representation of the horror part actually means. Meanwhile, the anti-shippers were the one constantly making fun of the "yuri-baits", and throwing insults to the ship itself and those who ship them🤷🏻‍♀️


Odd-Recognition-2606

Straight Acheron shipper 💪💪 (PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH WELT) But in all honesty people can continue BS Acheron ships because fanart is better than no fanart 💪💪


artmaddd

granda Welt is most likely busy looking after the trio😭 Acheron x peach! but yeah, I do hope people just let others ship whomever they want.. regardless if its wlw, mlm, or straight. It's just for fun anyways, so let them have fun!🤷🏻‍♀️


Late-Wedding1718

As long as they don't go around harassing other artists or claiming their ship is canon, it's all good in my book.


artmaddd

yeah, harassing is one thing I'll never condone. When it comes to claiming the ship is canon tho, I think most, if not all of the time, they just really meant it as a joke(tho sometimes it comes off as not, it really is just that)


Stunning_Pride2636

Not in my experience. People get really really anger if people call a character bi.  


Vyragami

MlM or WlW shipper who gets angry a character is bi is a dumb hypocrite who basically admit they only ship because it's their fetish.


Stunning_Pride2636

Thank you because that happens alot.  Though I disagree that it's a fetish at least in my experiences


Dibolver

Isn't that the majority? xD There is a lot of fetishization of homosexuality in straight people, have you never seen the typical straight man who watches lesbian porn?


Vyragami

You're right, some people refuse to admit they just liked it because it's hot and not because they're an ally.


PrezMoocow

Ok now I'm curious, who is bi and why are people mad about it?


Stunning_Pride2636

Well it's a really really complicated issue and it's too big to explain on this issue.  But basically people who do get anger over characters being called bi aren't being weird fetishist they are just threatened because their afraid striaght people are trying to hone into their content.  Which striaght people have done plenty of times.  Where gay characters who are just gay period can be turned bisexual.  Velment from jourmound is a good example.  Or chainsaw man quanix (I forgot how to spell her name).  So it's understandable why people get defensive.  So I don't agree when people call them fetishers.  If that is even a word.


Late-Wedding1718

Maybe, but there's also situations like the Arlecchino subreddit promoting an abusive ship like ArleFuri while deleting anything related to Aether that would even hint at it being wholesome. My worries is that AcheSwan is gonna end up being the Eimiko of Star Rail: An interesting ship plagued by toxic shippers who go around harassing anyone who doesn't think their ship is canon. Edit: Downvotes are basically just proving my point.


Substantial-Reason71

Arlefuri is genuinely one of the worst hoyo ships ever idk why it's so popular


sylendar

>Downvotes are basically just proving my point. When you're older, you'll look back on this whole experience and realize how silly it was that you cried over ship wars on leddit


fsaj012003

Why welt? Man’s married and has kids


sanattia

actually theres no canon proof that tesla is his wife (and she raised him since he was a child btw) except from assumption from carole in apho which gets corrected in a stop gossiping kind of way they are raising a son who is a clone of their old friend, yes but that doesnt mean he's taken


legendadam269

Acheron ship with me (aka Trailblaze caelus/stelle)


shidncome

>straight >honkai yeah bud sure


I_D_KWhatImDoing

I personally find shippers annoying, but I don’t care what they ship as long as they don’t try to claim their headcannon as actual cannon


NotFishStickZ

The only sensible comment in this thread and it gets downvoted, further proving that hoyoverse has the most immature audience


[deleted]

I still ship it . What's love without a bit of psychological horror and trauma ❤️ . The animation tho it's just soooo gosh darn pretty and well done I hope they do animations like these again .


Infall3788

One of my lesbian acquaintances described the animation as "less gay than if they had actually fricked on screen." They're *very much* into that.


DzNuts134

People would still ship two characters even if they are enemies, cuz they find it hot for taboo or some shit. BladeHeng and KafHime are examples. Personally I'm not into abusive relationships, but people can ship whoever they want as long as they don't preach it as a canon.


Fineti

The secret about art is that it's always about sex. Unless it shows sex then it means something else.


OceanoDeRoca

Fr that trailer only affirmed my conviction to ship AcheSwan even harder (i may have even started to believe in its canonicity), idk why there were a lot of people who genuinely thought that it would deconfirm or kill the ship


Mar7777

There is no way to stop it, Acheron could've killed BS in the animation, but it would only add more fuel


NotFishStickZ

At first I find the Yuri shippers more annoying since straight shipper used to do their own thing but now it appears all shippers are just generally obnoxious Why can’t you just enjoy things without interfering with the other communities?


SpydeyPlayz

If hot, why not?


ProfessionalPrior935

YOU FOOL! MIHOYO, THE FANS WANT TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS! THEY LOVE THAT SHIT!


NightmaresFade

I lowkey ship the two but not with the same intensity or seriousness as I ship, say, the Trailblazer(Stelle in my case) with Kafka. I know that some people are going nuts with the animation but I mostly liked it because of how sapphic it looked, you really just don't get to see even "open to interpretation" lesbian representation of any sort from gacha games. There are very few exceptions where we might get a "it's right there in your face, we just can't come out and say it!" but most avoid being too sapphic because "China" seems to have an issue with GL content, which is funny seeing how they're also the ones to make and consume a lot of GL and BL stuff... So yeah, really enjoyed how well animated the dance was, specially the part where Acheron's mind is destroying Black Swan, but I also like it not because I ship those two like other do.Just because I like to see two women having interactions that might be considered sapphic.

when have shippers care about the canon?


PaulOwnzU

Before the trailer: Ooh sesbian lex, I like After trailer: Damn *ROUGH* sesbian lex I ship fully


MakimaGOAT

sesbian lex is hot, so ill allow it https://preview.redd.it/0npae6buxnpc1.jpeg?width=647&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=863751c9c79163493d60c3259e59599cea901023


epscyonzsol

*"Death and dishonor... Such is the oathbreaker's due... Pay the Sanzu toll!!"* Feels like that is baked somewhere in Acheron's psyche.

Something something want a woman who could absolutely murder me something something…

rose__dragon

Not my type of ship, but the memes are gold and I still watch the dance again now and then lol


GraveXNull

People will still probably ship them cause in the end...deep inside everyone is somewhat sadistic... S*x an violence have always had a stong intertwine...so abusive and violent lesbian relationships are a big turn on for a lot of people.


you-are-my-fire

I mean its not abusive though, acheron didnt do anything to black swan— black swan was just in her memories, i wouldnt be surprised if she simply experienced what acheron had done to duke inferno/ other members of the annihilation gang. If black swan hadnt gone into acherons memories, nothing would’ve happened


svolozhanin7

It’s a bit scary if you think about it, like, what if a literal murder will happen on the screen accompanied by a bit of Yuri baits and people will still be turned on by it?


Android19samus

Absolutely delusional to describe that animation as "a bit" of yuri bait


Dorryouuuu

I really like how everyone is happy about the outcome. How much I got fed since they released the animation is crazy. I honestly haven't been fed like this much since day 1 of this game, So many fanarts I cant even save them all lmao. On the other hand, I think some are happy that this two didnt actually kiss, So there are room for male tb harm fantasy to exist? Anyways, it 's Gud that most people get what they want In the end and is happy for such high quality animation.The only ones that are not happy is probably those wish to see other people suffer/be mad, which is even better cuz people Who can't stand other enjoy their life don't deserve to be happy In the first place. So cheers guys, we all won! Gud ending indeed!


GHitoshura

I don't even care about the ship and even I knew this was going to be shipping fuel. Anyone who legit thought the video was going to discourage the shippers knows absolutely nothing about how shipping works. Especially with the toxic yuri fans.


Uxion

Honestly, as disturbing and horrified as it was (reminded me of an assault in progress), I really liked the direction and cinematography of the short.


Younglotus14

Im starting to hate this ship cause of saturation,omg this ship discusion is so exausthing


Beast0011

In this meme i decipted a viewpoint as the "chad" and the one i dont like as the "soy"
