RYUTAMA ,, god where do i even begin with ryutama. They are friends they are lovers they are partners… they just. Can do it all. Their dynamic is so fun and charming, with Tama being so simultaneously rough and soft with Ryuki. You can see how much they care about each other and I never got tired of seeing them interact. Not to mention there are certain things that are revealed later in the game that just. Make me insane. They are the QPR ever and everyday I am glad that they have each other. I just love them so, SO much it’s unreal.

As for maryu… it’s a pairing that I ship completely ironically as a joke I promise. Like sure sunshine guy + goth girl is a cute aesthetic in general and SURE it would be really sweet if Maria was invited over to Japan by Yujin after canon and they eventually bonded over searching for the truth in their own ways and like. SURE the idea of them both being off put by one another at first but slowly warming up, coming to respect each other, building a friendship and then possible the world’s weirdest romance/queerplatonic relationship makes me insane but like? That’s all there is to it I promise.

On a side note they can literally do anything which is hilarious. They are amicable exes and it makes any possible goulstrade and asoryuu romance 10x funnier. They’re dating and nobody knows how they got there, not even themselves. They are the world’s strangest friends and they are divorced and they dated for a week before realizing that they’re both aro and they’re still happily married to this day. It’s funny and you should ship it for the bit.

so, this was supposed to be a normal amount of words. instead i present to you...um...a chaotic mess. enjoy!! <3

goulstrade: *gets out powerpoint presentation* my moment has come! first of all, these two sadly have no canon interaction, but 1) we know they most likely do interact because of their jobs, and 2) they have much to bond over. neurodivergent girls who are seen as weird and unlikeable by gilded age society...girls who have to grapple with the realization that a parent or mentor figure is an unfortunate cog in the Reaper machine... however, there's also a great deal of comedic potential. Gina initially sees Maria as out of her league, considering the class difference, but she's also extremely obvious ('Sogi teases her about it constantly). Maria flirts on accident at first: "your face is interesting...most faces pale upon entering my lab, but yours appears to be exhibiting increased capillary blood flow" and Gina's like WOT NOW--but then Maria realizes and starts doing it on purpose!! Gina (eventually) catches on and starts to try being smooth herself, with chaotic results.
