[einsatzzz]

HI EIN YAAAAY QUESTIONS TIME. For Yui 😈😈😈😈

What headcanons/theories do you believe fandom would invent about your character?

What controversies/drama would your character incite in fandom?

What would be the ‘incorrect but wildly popular’ interpretation of your character in fandom?

Are there ship wars? Are they a popular character to ship, or the kind of character that gets shuffled off and away from shipping for whatever reason?

MELLLLLL!!!! 💜💜✨ I hope the answers to this ask makes you laugh in these trying times, because @amiahoshi answered all of this and it's all based on his personal fandom experience (from a different fandom, on twi///tter) 🤣🤣🤣

What headcanons/theories do you believe fandom would invent about your character?

Instead of talking about Yui's character/lore, people would find more joy in making hit tweets about how he is implied to be gay and he's in denial about only liking men.

People would then proceed to point out the most random shit ever as proof that he's gay.

Ein: Good thing Yui is an OC and not a canon character.

What controversies/drama would your character incite in fandom?

"Is Yui gay or not?" Every once in a while, a big fandom account would make a hit tweet about how they're so sick of people pretending that Yui isn't gay-coded/-implied and then shipping him with women.

What would be the ‘incorrect but wildly popular’ interpretation of your character in fandom?

People would consider him a sadist. Wrong, he's just excited when showing off/testing out his robot creations, he's not really actively trying to hurt anyone.

People think he has a preference for men over women. Wrong, he doesn't care as long he's the top.

Are there ship wars? Are they a popular character to ship, or the kind of character that gets shuffled off and away from shipping for whatever reason?

Yeah, there are ship wars. Specifically, YuiRumi (Yui x Kurumi), YuiHiyo (Yui x Hiyori) and YuiMina (Yui x Minato) shippers. Actually, YuiMina shippers are very quiet, they're only listed here because they always end up as collateral damage.

Ein: Thank God, there's no YuiKana. Sou: Kana is just weird like that.

People will argue over which one of these three are implied canon. YuiRumi shippers are especially toxic, they think they're canon because they're childhood friends.

Even with the huge amount of ship bait YuiHiyo has, YuiRumi shippers strongly believe that their ship is canon. This is because their relationship is pre-established and they're always together in official arts.

It's also because Yui has been assigned as Kurumi's right-hand man since childhood, so that means they have a very special connection and basically canon-implied. They also pretend to ship other ships that involve the other half of their rival ships just to assert that their ship is canon. They also invented shipping meta because of this.

Ein: WTF EVEN IS A SHIPPING META???!!! Sou: That's something you only know when you're chronically online.
