opinions about nikityom? ^^
as in fiction (fanfic, fanart) i do love the ship, as in irl i do not like it and don't believe in it, if it makes sense.
i do believe nikita was bi/gay (mostly leaning for the last one lol) and that he liked artyom more than just a friend, but I don't believe artyom loved him the same way, I think he was jealous of nikitas having other friends for being narcissistic and afraid of losing someone that gave him so much attention and followed him like a dog. plus, artyom was supposedly planning on k1ll1ng nikita before he went to the military service for being afraid of nikita confessing all what they did. they would've been a disaster as a couple and a toxic mess (nikita's dependence on tyoma, artyom ignoring him for days, jealousy from both sides)
but again, I like them together in fiction. Kind of works like two actors being together on a movie/show and liking the ship but not shipping them in real life with their true identity. might some stupid or dumb but I see it like that 🤷♀️ I wrote about them because I find their dynamic interesting.
