#i say 'arguably' bc imo the fact he has a bi flag on an article of clothing he made for himself is confirmation. it follows how eda had a

For the ship ask, fg of course, and Huntlow!

FG & Huntlow! Two beloved ships, they each hit such a different enjoyment for relationship types

Fair Game

1. What made you ship it?

So fg is actually what got me into rw/by haha, I never had much interest in the show before but someone I was following at the time v7 was airing was nonstop talking about them which got me to finally check it out, but then bad things happened to them sooo. Back off the rw/by train haha!

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

I honestly still get a bit bummed when I think hard on them because like. Goddamn they suited my tastes perfectly and they got done so dirty. Literally everything about them, the opposite color schemes and semblances, their personalities, their respective ridiculous weapons, the bird symbolism, the loneliness, the ridiculous flirting of old men -- there was so much more to explore between them.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I agree with your point about the HC their semblances cancel each other, it feels like a lazy "solution" to the very interesting relationships they each have with their forms of luck. Also like how you dislike mild-mannered Qrow, I dislike perfect chad Clover -- give me a dork who's a bit insufferable!

Huntlow

1. What made you ship it?

ASIAS really started the ep off with Willow looking at a photo of her dads bonding over flyer derby and then she grabbed Hunter out the air the second she saw him & they bonded over flyer derby, then the ep ended with the bi flag sky & Hunter blushing?? Damn ok I can get behind this

Funny story I was never shipping it (or either char with anyone) before ASIAS aired, but I did imagine if Luz managed to reach out to Hunter earlier in the series he & Willow specifically would've definitely become friends. And I was right haha!

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

It's just legitimately a wholesome sweet dynamic. I love that the dark prince fell for the chubby asian girl, but also I love that Willow is the protective jock and Hunter's a nerd who sews.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Jfc where to begin, this ship has so much needless controversy around it it's pathetic. I guess I'll settle on saying that even if Huntlow was an allocishet ship it would still be good. It's extremely unlikely as Hunter is (arguably canon) bi and Willow is implied pan, but the ship is still good representation even if it wasn't queer rep specifically.

It's a bit exhausting that a lot of fandom as a whole really acts like queer rep is the only kind of rep, and even then most types of queer rep are treated as "not good enough" either
