Firefly mains are wholesome and uplifting.

violin-guy

Dude it’s actually incredible. When I envision people asking me why you ship blazerfly, I used to think I would send them official content like this (yes I know it’s edited but it’s still official with added gender equality), but nah imma straight up send them the textual in game statement that they love each other https://preview.redd.it/2yxflq05hk8d1.jpeg?width=998&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=589b211839a08978954a47b8bbf81e1d8646ebcd

Decimator1227

I mean if you subscribe to the theory that the TB’s love of looking for treasure in trash cans is because they are subconsciously looking for Firefly that still works


Resident_Worker_8209

Me too i still can't believe this is real. I even deliberately tried to find some different meaning but it was no use. Like any other just doesn't make any sense at all.


Significant_Ad_1626

My first thought is that it was a quote. I still have the doubt.


Resident_Worker_8209

I mean quote for what exactly.


Significant_Ad_1626

That's the problem, I don't know. It just sounds like a book quote to me, and I don't know if it really is one.


Former_Breakfast_898

It is actually. Someone from the main sub pointed it out


Significant_Ad_1626

Can you give me the link to the comment/post?

You had it coming for you bud


bruhlive_XD

What did he say?


GeneralMedia8689

He said it was a joke and didn't expect the down votes.


Kaosi1

It feels good when the company ships what you ship. I just hope that the way their relationship with Firefly stay special in that way, but we'll see what the future holds


Hawaiian_Shirt12

I think it feels so special with firefly because it's not like genshin (sorry for the comparison but it's the only example I can think of atm) where every region has 2+ characters being 'shipped' with the main character. There's nothing inherently wrong with that (even if I don't like it) but when there's only the one character who's that close to the MC in star rail it feels more real. It feels less like "fan service" and more like hoyo is just telling a story. But that's just my two cents


RefillSunset

As a genshin player as well I'll just chime in to say Genshin 'ships' are not really as clear as the fans make it seem. Probably the "hardest" ship we ever got was Ayaka, and prior to 3.5/3.7 event (cant remember which one, the one she got her skin from), everything was still very much explainable from a friend perspective. Everyone else after was more friendly than flirty, like Nilou or Navia. The firefly ship is so ridiculously official and obvious lol


Kaosi1

I do agree that it feels special because in one year and a few months we never had a character pushed this much as a romantic companion for the Trailblazer (like there was a few flirty lines here and there but nothing major), notably by Hoyo themselves with the collaborations arts, songs, animations etc that showcase the both of them in relationship. So it feels that it is a writing choice from their part, especially since the Firefly banner was more less assured to be a winner with the number of people that were hyped for her for \*months\* and so she didn't really need any ship baiting / fanservice stuff to work. I am still worried that it was a ploy from them, but if I'm honest in my heart I feel that they are going for it and hope so so much that it happens.


GeneralMedia8689

If it was planned, It definitely worked on me, lol. I never buy the offers from the shop besides the occasional welkin ( idk how it's called here, sorry), but this time, I've spent money on them, the 300 and 60 stellar jade packs, which are the cheapest, but still, it's the first time I've bought them.


Kaosi1

As someone who swore that they would never buy the battle pass and folded immediately when I saw her new icon, I can relate...


GeneralMedia8689

I never buy the BP because i can never max it. This might be the first time I'll do it without that :)


HeroFighte

Yeah same I didnt even buy it for the rewards Just straight for the firefly icon


Former_Breakfast_898

Well it definitely helps that this is part of the honkai series, where there are actual canon ships and writers care for it


Chemicalcube325

As someone who also loves Jingliu and Acheron. It's painful to have only the community backing things up. It's even worse with Jingliu because TB and Jingliu haven't even canonically met yet.


Stormeve

The only potential thing is people being weird over which TB is paired with her, seen that here and there but the mods have done a fantastic job of squashing anyone who wants to bring the MC wars and their related baggage over into this sub. Emotional support raccoon is emotional support raccoon


ZayAVZ

The fact that most (sane) people jyst like both mcs and respect both genders warms my heart. As someone who had to deal with FE threehouses ship wars, im not used to this

Oraclexyz

RAHHHHH🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥


Alexios7333

If it is to be cannon then it is to be canon for all. A house divided cannot stand. We either all get what we want or neither of us get what we want. It's all or nothing.


post-leavemealone

Which is stupid because gender literally doesn’t matter until the day Hoyo states a canon gender. Like this isn’t Aether and Lumine, two different characters; Caelus and Stelle are the exact same character (as far as we know). We might as well be a sexless thing because it literally doesn’t matter. Anyone who likes MC isn’t straight or gay; they’re just MCsexual


kioKEn-3532

Exactly lol Some people are just trying to have something to fight about when there isn't any need for that


GGABueno

I can see FF mains getting very angry at TB being shipped with someone else though.


Open_Material4380

After Penacony, i no longer see the Trailblazer as a self-insert. So i'm fine with whatever outcome of their relationship with Firefly https://preview.redd.it/s2jfgl9xck8d1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7688a59528317ceb2afdabfbfc23c1f8db0e7ac


K3LEK

Fr, especially after my boy racoon go chirp chirp and full on acoustic around that ship i just see him as another unique character lmao


Ecilla_dev

If nothing else, that’s just tells the player that it’s not a self-insert at all lol. Maybe you can choose a response to a lot of things, but now I think of it as what will TB possibly say.


Former_Breakfast_898

I mean it’s similar to other rpg games when you think about it. The twd game and Detroit have different choices but those characters won’t really be considered self inserts


ZayAVZ

They really went aritmethic this patch, good for them


Lilulipe

I almost choked while laughing from the way the MC was acting. Especially the part where he was betting in exchange for a chest.


violet_nayr

I've never really loved the "self-inserting the MC" sort of thing. Because I find that it's cooler and way more fun to imagine you are one of the supporting characters of the MC with your own unique powers. I've been doing this since the GTA San Andreas days, I'm not joking.


Open_Material4380

Agree, imo self-insert is better in MMOs and games with a full customization. But gacha MCs is just... eh, they already have presented appearance and you just have to give a whatever-name


emiliaxrisella

exactly the best kinds of gacha MCs imo are the ones that are already their own character and youre just seeing the world in their perspective (Reverse 1999's Vertin, Dragalia Lost's Euden)


YouhaoHuoMao

Sauce?


Open_Material4380

rune_(rne_at)


KaedeP_22

TB is like Ryan Gosling, y'know. They're one of the literally me character.


AggravatingTown8966

Dont care if she is shiped with Stelle or Caelus our Firefly deserves from both.


I-want-borger

She tops either way which is what really matters.


Memo_HS2022

It’s cause 99.8% of Hoyoverse ships are made with scraps of 30 second interactions between characters while Firefly/Trailblazer has dedicated sections for them specifically to the point where it’s borderline real And I’m glad they did this cause character interaction is always good instead of them feeling extremely separate from one another


Crusherbolt0282

Acheron and Blackswan shippers discrediting Caefly when their ship is akin to a one night stand


Memo_HS2022

Calling Black Swan/Acheron a one night stand is probably the best way to describe that ship because that’s literally what it is


ZayAVZ

I found funny how they flocked over that sponsored caefly animation for some horny scenes. AND said it justified that cute animation. I love yuri, im a hi3 veteran, but damn, some people get sold so easily


Straight-Willow-37

What sponsored animation did I miss?


ZayAVZ

[enjoy](https://youtu.be/FfF1Zf6yF8o?si=BIeHet1Wy2R48yXj)


YouhaoHuoMao

That was adorable and silly and cute


Straight-Willow-37

Ty!!!!


violin-guy

What’s especially hilarious is how their lore is completely unrelated, and their characters trajectories could not be any more different. Black swan plans to accompany the express to Amphoreus, meanwhile Acheron tells TB she prolly won’t see them for a very long time while she goes on her own journey 😭. Like I get their 30 second interaction was steamy, but this ship has no legs to stand on or substance. Even eimiko at least has the two constantly stuck to each other.


WhatCommunismMeans

"No BuT iTs CaNoN bEcAuSe AcHeRoN iS lEsBiAN!1!1!1!1!1!!1"


Drakeknight7711

Yeah. Like find 1 ship related dialogue that doesn’t relate to the dance. Basically impossible. 


T8-TR

Would it even amount to a one night stand? Maybe I need to rewatch the trailer, but it seemed more like Black Swan pushing into Acheron's mind against Acheron's wishes, then Acheron -- subconsciously -- fucking Black Swan up w/ all the shit in her head, leaving Black Swan somewhat traumatized by the incident, because I too would be traumatized by memories of an eldritch horror tearing me to shreds.


Chucknasty_17

Probably the most literal example of fuck around and find out we’ve seen in Star Rail to date


IowaGang

Congratulations, you are one of the alarmingly few people who actually got it right


MidnightSunshine0196

Firewife is firelife 🔥🫡


silverW0lf97

It's actually fun seeing other subs especially the main sub people who hate her lose their minds over DU and the new mechanics. They are getting their minds broken.


whimsicaljess

Firefly: break meta irl


Former_Breakfast_898

I really don’t understand the logic. Swarm disaster was literally dedicated to DHIL, yet barely no one complained. Even if DU is more focused on break, it’s not like they just throw away other archetypes. DoT can finally crit there, every attack is considered FUA, etc.


silverW0lf97

DU needs you to be able to read, comprehend and strategize all three things most players struggle at so no wonder they hate it. I did a run with Acheron team and DHIL team they are viable but not the best so they are mad.


Former_Breakfast_898

I gotta admit tho I still get headache when reading the DU blessings lol. Good thing there’s an option where you can simplify the description although I never use it cuz I love numbers.


silverW0lf97

I just go with a simple strategy if I am using Acheron then Nihility==Remembrance>Propagation==Erudition>Destruction==Preservation>Abundance>Elation==Hunt For DHIL Propagation==Hunt>Destruction==Preservation>Abundance>Elation>Nihility==Remembrance For IPC Elation==Preservation>Propagation>>>Anything else For Firefly tema Destruction>everything else.


Former_Breakfast_898

Mine I just look at keywords. If see the word break that’s for Firefly. DoT means Kafka. Something like that


Darth-Yslink

All I hope is that they keep this kind of relationship with the Trailblazer exclusive to Firefly


ShadowMiku_

I just wish Hoyo would just ship characters with characters now that way the only people upset are the people that are upset for nothing: people that self insert at TB since people loved Dan x March and Acheron x Swan and RatUrine but lose their mind if the "self-insert" has a love interest. Especially with PoV's being prevalent now, you can still see other ships shine so fear of TB x FF taking all the screen time shouldnt be a huge issue plus they dont need to show themselves in love or even together all the time to make an impact. 2.3 was huge for canon TB's development. Seeing my homegirl chirp at imaginary birds is fucking peak and something not many people expected because why would they? TB canonically is a menace to society we just never fully agreed based off the choices were given LOL Hoyo lets them off the leash and were the ones almost keeping them locked up with the choices were given  Obv the other problem is "why does FF get TB all to her?" My answer is why not. Canonically they make each other happy, better, and emotionally stable, plus they always want to be around each other and accept each other for who they are (especially FF) and have had the most emotional and impactful moments together so why shouldnt they love each other if theyre the most compatible and the most accepting? They almost feel like they were made for each other. Obv too much of them for most would not be right.. but its crazy that people just cant accept that this ship is truly canon and Hoyo just doesnt want to step on toes even though they created a monster.


Rheshx7

Youth of today is far too conditioned that '30 sec of screentime together = teased as a new ship', that they forget what its like to have a real, meaningful and fulfilling relationship. I mean, you could still see Firefly and TB as just friends, but you cant convince me that they're not perfect together, complement their quirkiness really well with Firefly's hidden dorky side, and that they clearly mean a lot to each other.


LeLyeon_San

and this is why I love this community specifically I can actually love the character with no worry, like an actual chill community where Caleus or Stelle is respected evenly? Praise the heavens Firefly mains are the best

ShadowMiku_

Survey it so they never forget LOL  Hopefully our overseas brethren dont let this die. They're still pumping out their content in mass because of how revolutionary this is.

TBxFF is the true stuff dreams are made of.


Significant_Ad_1626

Who am I to disagree?


JazeBlack

More like (re)made in a dream.


Unknown-Name-1219

FireBlazer is just peak shipping, Caelus or Stelle, because Firefly is just peak.


Ok_Debate_7128

ok but top right is objectively correct. like u cannot argue against that


Ryuusei_Dragon

Fr, she ain't deserve that


post-leavemealone

Who is it referring to


MyLittleDashie7

My guess would be Furina and Arlecchino? I know it's Genshin, but I can't think of a Star Rail ship that's got as prominent a debate around those terms. Loads of people really like it, and a whole bunch of other people are correct.


post-leavemealone

Oh yeah, I was only thinking in terms of HSR. That ship is so cringe dude. Easily one of the worst. You definitely have mental health issues and a sad past IRL if you unironically support that.


Unknown-Name-1219

Why is the need to insult people like that for just supporting a ship? Like, why? You could have just left it at the ship being cringe.


Ok_Debate_7128

its a horrible “ship”, literally shipping the poor girl with her abuser


Unknown-Name-1219

Regardless of what you think about the ship itself, insulting people for shipping it is just being a dick.

??? It's fiction man let people ship whatever toxic shit they want it's not a reflection of irl. Does liking morally bad characters now mean you're a bad person too?

Unknown-Name-1219

Telling somebody that they have mental health issues *is* an insult, that's just disrespectful in many ways. Calling a ship you don't like names is kinda cringe, but it's whatever. Calling the people who ship it names just because of it is just being a dick for no reason.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Unknown-Name-1219

Buddy, I don't ship ArleFuri, I don't even play Genshin. I am saying that insulting people for liking a ship, to the point of saying that they have mental issues, is just a dick move.


post-leavemealone

Okay, that’s fine. I’m a dick and that’s fine lol. You’re a dick for supporting it, I’m a dick for calling you out on it. I can happily live with that, you can happily live with yourself.


arkon-da-knight

I misread it as the Clorivia, referring to how>!Clorinde killed Navia's father.!

Resident_Worker_8209

whimsicaljess

so true. all the people i've interacted with here or in the discord have been genuinely much better on average than most other players.


Dependent-Sleep-6192

What’s S***ps suppose to be? Ships?


LazyLaserr

Three asterisks tho. Scalps? Scraps?


NeoKattKit

Guessing the top one based on the genshin furina x arle ship?


hsmsful1

The thing is a lot of the ships are usually based on very few interactions. Heck some people ship characters who haven't met each other cause they feel they will vibe together. Blazerfly feels as canon as seele x bronya, meaning that you have a lot of genuine interactions that give depth to the ship and make everyone appreciate it. It is not forced or weird.


elixxonn

You know we got something right when the only "drama" is a few teenagers on Twitter replying to themselves with alt accounts because they can't stop seething about "both is equally valid, and it is FACTAUALLY CANON".


Deniu48

Arlefuri? The first one reminds me of that ship


HarbingerOfGachaHell

The guy on the right is correct tho. Enemies-to-lovers are dumb and never work IRL.


SarukyDraico

I agree, unless it's part of the plot it makes 0 sense


How_do_you_win_50-50

I mean, will never work IRL - yeah for sure. But for fiction, it depends. Like, the main things is that with the whole Enemies-to-lovers dynamic, the -to-lovers part needs to actually happen, but it rarely does. Because over half of those ships are just character A tries to kill character B > the fans are all like, "they must be in love! look how obsessed they are over each other!" And to anyone who's not into dysfunctional relationships this will just look cringe. If the story took the time for characters to sort out the issues they were fighting over and get some character development together - it could work. When the characters are cool with each other and have a good relationship (romantic or otherwise), most people wouldn't really be able to argue much about the ship still being dysfunctional because of some past events. Hell, even with HSR, you could kind of see this sort of dynamic with this game's versions of Seele and Bronya. Since they were pretty antagonistic towards each other (mainly Seele was) at the start due to their different social standing and wrong impressions of each other. But then they worked through it, got really close and most people seem pretty cool with this ship atm. ..... but for each such case you have like 5 variations of the stupid Dan Hang and Blade ship...


post-leavemealone

Is it referring to someone specifically


Timely-Appearance698

Bruh you should probably look up at my comment history literally somehow had a beef with fellow firefly fans cause they assume I want to murder them. Even though I'm mainly disappointed at the lack of firefly X Stella content cause it's just friendship at best and not really romantic not even once. The best one is literally just a sticker set that isn't even the same colour or set that talks about everybody and can just straight up be about the nameless crew as Stella only had been with them for 2 to 4 months and grew closer to them cause they have been with her during her darkest hour like losing her friend firefly and such.


Godofmytoenails

Losing your mind over a non confirmed headcanon is just hilarious. People can ship anyone with anyone, its fictional
