Kyoko: Do you want to play 20 Questions?  Mami: Sure! Mami: What’s your favorite color?  Kyoko [laser fucking focused]: Triangle. Do you like girls?

Something that just occurred to me.

You know how Kyoko and Mami have both kind of adopted kids as surrogate daughters/little sisters?

You know how Kyoko and Mami are basically exes who parted on bad terms but later repaired their relationship?

You know how Kyoko is basically homeless while Mami has a big empty apartment and is really lonely?

Surely I need not have to draw a diagram.

Then later, they can rope in Sayaka! Because what better way to get over heartbreak than to have your bi awakening and join in a domestic lesbian polycule with your mentor and your former rival that you had a lot of really homoerotic tension with? They're probably the reason that she figured out that she was bi in the first place!

Is it normal to obsess over sapphic ships of shows I don't even watch?

Why do you like kyomami

Read "The Different Story", it's really good and not just from a kyomami standpoint, but like. Just as a story. It's easily my favorite spinoff comic from PMMM.

But if you've read it and still don't get it-- I think that the history between Mami and Kyoko that turned sour is just very fun to explore. I ship it but also I just like it as a friendship or a dynamic. Kyoko might hate Mami but she also wants to protect her. She's mad at Mami and then doesn't care when she dies (or does she?). Mami clearly cares about Kyoko but she always seems to overstep. Both of these kids look at each other and see a mirror of themselves and what they hate about themselves and what they wish they could be. I just feel like there's a lot to explore. It's not just "oh they started as enemies and they became friends", it's like "you've seen me at my absolute worst and you were the most important person in the world to me and I hate you for it and I wish I was stronger and I wish I could be like you and I hate you for that too and I wish you were different and"

When I was younger I was a HUGE kyosaya shipper, but as I got older I kinda grew out of it. I dunno! Kyomami is just really layered and kind of tragic and you want them to do well but you also want that unspoken pain to stay there too. I feel like Kyomami brings out the best and the worst out of both characters, which I just really enjoy.

Kyoko, pointing: May I sit there?

Mami: That's my lap.

Kyoko: That doesn't answer my question, Mami.

I like that Kyoko's "Now that really pisses me off" when Sayaka claims that she'd never be like Mami gains more context after reading spin off materials but isn't dependent on it. We get the basic idea. Kyoko's annoyed by Sayaka's supposed naivety... but it gains another layer when you know that Mami meant a lot to her in actuality.

YES OMG

Kyoko sees a lot of her former self in Sayaka, back when she used to be idealistic and fought for justice instead of just to survive. That's why at first she's so hard on Sayaka and later tries reach out to her and convince Sayaka to live the way she (Kyoko) does.

And like you said, that "you'll never be like Mami" line gets a lot more context when you read The Different Story and understand Kyoko and Mami's relationship. Kyoko used to idolize Mami and want to be just like her, so seeing Sayaka- who again, reminds her of her former self- saying that she'll never be like Mami must cut deep. Because as much as she did want to be like Mami, she threw Mami's ideals away after the deaths of her family.

Fuck, the character writing in this series is so good.

Sayaka: The moon looks beautiful, doesn’t it? Mami, looking at Sayaka: Yeah… but do you know what’s more beautiful? Sayaka and Mami in unison: *sighs* Kyoko
