sorry but i’d rather ship the Stupid Self Insert Largely Beloved By Supposedly Shallow Dumb Women and Girls than the wish fulfillment babysitter Nice Guy Ftw fantasy ship…………

All you have is sun and moon symbolism and fire and water symbolism and yin and yang and the forbidden love trope and the intentional oma and shu parallels and support from the voice actors for both characters and support from the main writers for both characters and support from some of the lead animators including one who made official art and undeniable primary source evidence that they were being set up as love interests and each being the epitome of what the other expresses wanting in a partner and parallel mother loss and parallel daddy issues and parallel sibling relationships and angst with a happy ending and insane chemistry and a romantic song named after them on the official album and both having a spirit persona from the other's culture and everything about the Final Agni Kai and the fact that they look amazing together. Which is basically nothing.
