Checks out at least, Shenhe x Yelan got popular even though the two canonically have never interacted even once, not even a passing comment on each other.

Shippers will straight up invent reasons to ship two characters, even if they absolutely hate each other's guts or don't know about each other's existence in canon.

Shenhe and Yelan got popular because an artist drew them together

u/Professional_Car1546 Oct 12 '25

well its fun! i've acted like a parrot in these replies but i will say again that shipping is a fun way to explore the writing of a character harmlessly through interaction and dynamics and hypotheticals.

Yes, but with some ships, it's that problem, they didnt talk with each other, Shenhe x Yelan is a great example of it

Hear no hypocrisy see no hypocrisy, or something like that

u/New_Economist_9429 Oct 12 '25

This doesn't even make sense since they both like aether

u/Vanthraa Oct 12 '25

She did say she would be anything he wants

Any character can fall in love with the Traveller as long as you push the agenda with your life on the line

u/Risi30 Aether_mains delegation Oct 12 '25

I mean, true

u/k4ll_d4rk Oct 12 '25

Ragebait or Heterophobe. Call it.

u/Maleficent-Feed3566 #1 Raiden Ei despiser and Twelfth Harbinger Oct 12 '25

Heterophobe? I think there has been a misanderstanding. To put it simply, there aren't canon ships in genshin

u/Risi30 Aether_mains delegation Oct 12 '25

And Like doesn't always mean relationship-wise, but like friends, so my point still stands

u/Maleficent-Feed3566 #1 Raiden Ei despiser and Twelfth Harbinger Oct 12 '25

Well of course, every playable character likes traveler because it seems that the chinease fanbase can't handle a fully playable villain

u/Risi30 Aether_mains delegation Oct 12 '25

I mean, true, but they do hate some characters

u/New_Economist_9429 Oct 12 '25

The way everything should be

u/Maleficent-Feed3566 #1 Raiden Ei despiser and Twelfth Harbinger Oct 12 '25

Shippers are delusional lmao

u/Professional_Car1546 Oct 12 '25

shipping is about exploring characters through character dynamics and interactions. they'll be interacting quite a lot in the next update, so we get to explore that. i think it'll be fun to see what kind of relationship they have (it'll be platonic in cannon, of course), after so long of the vaguest idea that they like eachother.

That's usually all we need! I ship Lauma x Flins and I get excited every time they stand anywhere near each other, lol.

u/SafalinEnthusiast Oct 12 '25

This is the only reason why the “ship” was popular in the first place. People will seriously ship two characters together because they’re just standing next to each other
