The Ship Wars Have Emerged

[taevachi]

It was Wanderer's birthday on the 3rd and Sethos appeared in Wanderer's bday art, asking to give him a traditional desert hairstyle. Some people who ship Wanderer with Kazuha or Childe have NOT taken this well.

I've seen edits of both replacing Sethos in that image with Kazuha or Childe. It confuses me so much.

I ask in my head, why. Why would you make such an edit. Why would Kazuha give Wanderer a traditional desert hairstyle? Why would Childe give Wanderer a traditional desert hairstyle?

It kind of breaks my brain, there is nothing wrong with making edits of course and it hurts no one, I'm just confused as to why would you make that edit when it makes zero sense.

I don't think they even know that that is not just some random hairstyle but specific to Sethos's culture. Which is just ignorant about the lore more than anything else.

I just wanted to express how brainless those edits seem to me from the lore perspective. But I don't want to attack people so I just express this here on my blog.

That's genuinely so crazy... I understand not being super interested in sethoscara, but it's so irritating when people are so determined to remove character interactions from their original context. Scara and Sethos have a relationship in canon, whether you ship them or not, and editing a different character over Sethos won't change that. Especially when they're doing it without regard for cultural context too... God.

People should channel their energy into making original fanworks instead of doing stuff like this, because all of the ships are good, but there are just some contexts where one cannot be replaced with the other.
