#zanru

I had a weird revelation and it started with a scroll through AO3.

I was originally gonna search up Amo/Rudo fics, but Zanka/Rudo was around the top and caught my eye, I tapped it because I was like, "Who on earth is Zanka?" I know who Zanka is, I looked him up and immediately knew by his appearance, I'm just still trying to get used to everyone's names. Fortunately, fic reading helped me engrave some character names, like Riyo for example.

Anyway, realizing who it was, I started getting curious how this ship is written and scrolled through all the current 26 fics, clicked most of them, and completely read some of them. Just know I really enjoyed the experience, these two are adorable. But I was super hesitant, because I perceived Zanka to be older, and I don't feel like rooting for another controversial ship. But I ended up super liking it, so I looked up Zanka's age for confirmation.

I found out he's precisely 17 years old. *bonks head* Am I reading this right??? Is this a reliable site?!

Canon or not, from someone who has favorite two ships that are controversial because of "age gaps" or whatever, it was funny to encounter a pair that has a closer age gap than I expected.
