Hello! Would you happen to know what Ni-Ki (enhypen) and Iroha (ILLIT) think of each other?

��� How ILLIT Iroha and ENHYPEN Ni-ki feel about each other? ꒰ঌ ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ʚɞ 𖹭;

Iroha thinks that Ni-ki is born to be a performer and a one-of-a-kind idol. She was most surely looking up to him during her trainee days, watching his fancams and performances to assimilate/adopt some of his tricks for herself. Also, she thinks he's a bit (a bit MUCH) of a shyyy boy >.< Their first encounter for the Magnetic Tiktok Challenge was so cute; despite being both introverts, they quickly caught each other's vibe. Iroha was particularly enthusiastic about meeting him in person and somehow tried to keep it inside her so it wouldn't show too much. Deep inside, she would really like to get to know him better as a person and be friends, but she's afraid for some reason? :с Most likely, she is not yet very familiar with the industry and how connections are made, since some things in it do not imply friendship but only advancement that can bring mutual benefit. If someday they get the opportunity to do something together, it will be a great joy and experience for Iroha! Like a potential dance duet or something close to this? It would give her a chance to show off her skills next to one of the best dancers of the 4th generation, and thus people would be able to discern her uniqueness. She also likes his style, the way he's holding himself, and the fact that he doesn’t try to be something he’s not and show those emotions that he never correlated to just to impress someone, and that's not being blunt in her opinion. He's a just REAL one, duh. 🫥

"Has the talent! Can't lie, she's got the bounce, she's got the swag. She's good, yeah." THAT KIND OF ENERGY. But still... something about his view of her is OFF. Maybe he thinks she's a bit too sensitive for the job she chose. Or most likely, he just prefers to have a distant opinion about new people; it's not as if there is a problem with Iroha, nah. That's just his mindset: keep them far away so they won't cause trouble in the future. Either way, he will keep an eye on her and how she grows as an artist throughout her career, not so actively but occasionally. He believes that she has everything she needs to be successful with her group, but there is also such energy, like, "You can easily lose it in one blink if you're not careful!" That's SO mysterious of him, as if he knows something about Iroha or ILLIT in particular that can negatively impact their career. Nevertheless, if she practices and improves constantly, she would be able to build a decent legacy that would last for a long time.

A strictly. professional. connection. I don't even know what else to add .. 😭 Perhaps in the future they will have more opportunities to communicate and get to know each other, but I don’t think that this will grow into a strong friendship, much less something romantic.

Soren hater anon again

Again, Soren is given a pass to be awful to fucking everyone and he's codependent on Ike because he's a sad pretty boy. If he was a woman or ugly, people would hate him

You have no idea how delighted I genuinelly was, but I'm still yet to figure out why you took issue with me specifically 😭

See, the thing is there might be people who do that, but I think Soren is very much one of those cases in which his fans are very much aware that explanation isn't the same thing as an excuse, so did he have motives to be an asshole? He did. Does that mean he gets forgiveness just like that? Of course not.

And here's the thing as well: The narrative doesn't give him the easy way either, he gets called out by people close to him and while it takes him a while, he learns and grows. By Radiant Dawn he's annoyed by Skrimir because he thinks Skrimir is kinda dumb, not because Skrimir is a laguz. And the beautiful thing about that is that even then, Titania is like "Soren, please, can you behave, that's a literal prince."

Even when the instances are kinda light and funny, it's hardly as if even the characters themselves don't acknowledge them, but I think there's also a factor of them realizing his reactions are due to trauma, so they don't exactly give him a pass, but they understand where he's coming from.

I think his reasons to be codependent to Ike, which I will give you that, he is, are deeper than just saying he's a sad pretty boy, but you know, you are allowed to dislike aspects of his character like that, it works as far as the story goes and it's consistent with what we have been presented. Ike relies on him as well, so it's not as if it were a matter of Soren being weird and making Ike uncomfortable, they are pretty much in the same tune in that sense.

Now, I hear what you're saying, people in fandom definitely do give more of a pass to characters that are pretty and yes, more frequently is to men, specifically white men, but that's neither here nor there, we're not going there. I can't speak for everyone, but frankly, it wouldn't change much for me if Soren were different physically or had another gender because what I liked about him was his story, I do like his personality and how he develops through the games so do I need him to be a pretty guy? Nah. I don't even care that he's pretty, it's not as if I'm interested in his character like that.

Quite frankly, I think people would tolerate him more if he were a woman, because something I have noticed is a very frequent thing that makes people recoil away from Soren is that closeness to Ike, because gods forbid that we have a bond that deep between two men in a game like this. He's a threat to Ike's perceived heterosexuality for a big part of the fandom, I guess, so people despise him, which wouldn't happen if he were a woman.

As for me, personally, I like my fair share of female characters and non conventionally pretty ones that aren't exactly nice and innocent, because I just like it a lot when characters get to lash out and express the ugly sides of trauma. I don't believe in the perfect victim idea that only those who act nicely and sad deserve the chance to heal and change and become better. I think Soren is wonderful because of how he was written, and it would work regardless of gender or appearance (well, it does depend on appearance specifically on the case of his brand, but you know what I mean).
