I'm pretty sure this is an unpopular opinion since I've seen so many people like it, but I actually don't really like DougxDylas as a ship. It's obvious they care about each other, yeah, but I personally never really liked relationships where there's constant bickering unless they eventually get out of that phase.
I dont think thatās as unpopular as you think, being a hardcore dougxdylas shipper Iāve found many people that share your view!
I canāt grab the screenshots right now, but Doug and Dylas donāt argue with each other and try to one up the other all the time. Sure, maybe their relationship started like that, but I think the turning point for them, canonically, was the event in which they trade jobs. If you never seen it, they keep saying the other has it easy and have a big fight about it, until Vishnal suggest they trade places for a week (or a day, canāt remember). By the end of it, they recognize how hard the other has, and itās clear how they changed their mind, even though they still fight while trying to make peace, Doug says a little ālaterā to Dylas with a little smile, and he replies with his awkward smile too!
Also, when Dougās ship crashed after the sechs attack, Dylas got really worried, and before that when that sechs spy harmed Doug, he went visit him in the hospital. They trade secret gifts on their birthdays (both of them), and there are some mini conversations where you catch them alone and theyāre having an amicable talk! As in, Dylas is helping Doug restock and theyāre all content and talking about taking a bath afterwards. Then they get all āweāre not friends!!ā once they realize youāre there! Aaahhh itās too damn adorable!
Sorry I might be too infatued to be impartial, but their relationship sure as hell isnāt just hatred and bickering. Iāll link the screenshots once I get home too!
I might have gotten carried away and linked my favorite dougxdylas moments from the game (thereās a lot, and this is not even all of it!). But here we have it! I bolded the ones I mentioned.
The ending of that job swap event, look at the little smiles!Ā Dylas saying heāll do the stock on the next day.
Dylas and DougĀ talking possibly dirty things about you,Ā having amicable conversation!
Dylas caring for Doug and vice versa: putting him some covers, warning about hot milk, cooking him stuff, mad at ethelberd after he insults doug, worried when his ship crashed, dylas sicking happy after seeing he was okay, dylas visiting him in the clinic, blossom mentioning the visit, doug requesting you a thing for dylasĀ [pt 1]Ā [pt 2], dylas planning on visiting doug, doug planning to give dylas a birthday gift, dylas caring about doug after heās been rejected.
People commenting how good friends they actually are.
Most importantly, Doug sad Dylas got married.Ā
