#If you hate bardven sorry but your opinion isn’t valid

Why Bardven is objectively the best ship in genshin (and maybe ever)

1- Although it is by no means canon, it’s one of the more likely genshin ships to be implied in canon (if hoyoverse were to ever mention old mond again smh)

2- (Mostly an explanation for number 1 but) While many other ships in fandoms only count as ships if they’re romantic, as long as you acknowledge venti and nb loved eachother (which lets be honest there aren’t many arguments against this) in any way shape or form, congrats. You ship them. It’s just how it is

3- THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO INTERPRET THEIR RELATIONSHIP! Platonic, romantic, queerplatonic, whatever silly little relationship dynamic you can think of, it probably works with bardven.

4- Not just relationship dynamics! Bardven can be angst, fluff, sososo many different AUs, canon divergence, angst, angst, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort…. the possibilities are endless! Since there are so many plot holes and things that aren’t canonically confirmed, your headcanons can’t be confirmed but they can’t be denied either :)

5- They are two silly little guys who bonded over their mutual hatred of a god, then later worked together to assassinate said god and won. Need I say anything else?

6- You have the excuse to say “historians said they were close friends”

Might add more when I think of more
