Like: I like their contrast in dynamic, i’m always a sucker for clashing character dynamics. The weirdo and the “normal” one. i also like how nugget fawns over lily any chance he gets haha, and lily being concerned for him whenever he’s sad or in a dangerous situation. yknow that reddit post of a girlfriend being concerned for her boyfriend’s hole digging hobby? they’re like that to me. they’re cute and i enjoy all the fanart of them.
Dislike: hmm nothing i dislike about it really, im just a bit critical of the way it’s written in canon. will elaborate more in least favorite moments
Experiences: nothing happened to me *personally*, but i *have* seen people speak out and say they were harassed for liking a lily ship that isn’t with nugget, so take that how you will. i have seen comments like “lily x felix?? what happened to lilget!!” and stuff which is pretty typical for a fandom like this. lilget is seen as the status quo and anyone who challenges it is met with confusion and possibly even hostility. i never experienced it personally ofc since i drew lilget lmao
Own Perception: cutesy babies :3 very lovely. i love the classic boy fawning over the girl trope (when it’s reciprocated ofc..) i personally interpret it as nugget very obviously liking lily and lily knowing about it, but still thinking on it. in my teen au they are very friendly with each other but they have unspoken feelings for each other and they’re too stupid to say anything abt their situationship.
Favorite/Least Favorite Moments: Okay so. I like the cheek kiss, i like the moment where nugget dives in with the drill, i like any fan service moments with them, but what i don’t really like/understand is lily getting in trouble in nugget’s mission and nugget not seeming to care (see here, at 11:54) lily jumping in cindy’s mission and nugget not.. really seeming too concerned (see here, at 11:10), nugget snapping away lily in the kg2 monstermon ending, and also lily being more snappy with nugget during the romeo and juliet esque mission, but the last one isn’t that big of a deal. honestly in general i just don’t really like one-sided crushes in media all that much, it’s not really enjoyable for me to see. despite some ambiguity of lily’s side of the relationship, it’s not *much* of a problem here with lilget since i do like how lily still shows concern and friendliness for nugget in the later games, even if she acts snappy with him sometimes. i see it as lily still thinking abt her feelings lol. it’s more of a problem with austin and alice cause alice just. doesn’t seem to genuinely care abt austin at ALL despite austin putting his life on the line for her. i can’t really ship them because of that. i guess i’m more picky at nugget’s character consistency? i really don’t get the kg1 missions and kg2 monstermon ending. i know the monstermon ending isn’t canon blablabla but i still don’t like it 😭 it just feels off to me. and in kg1 the least nugget could do is show some concern? but kg isn’t known for their writing consistency anyways lol. the plot holes were always there but got so much worse in kg3, but at least alice and austin’s dynamic was more consistent than theirs. anyways this is my own personal opinion so don’t come at me. TLDR uhhh . kg1 amirite?
Fluff/Angst?: i mostly see them being fluffy and cutesy, i can never imagine any angst scenarios with them. they’re very casual sweet slice of life to me
Am I sure I love it: i like it! not *obsessed* with it, but i casually enjoy it and would be happy to see their relationship grow in future games. I think it’s v cute and idm the people who ship it but I’m not as much as a hardcore shipper with it as my other two ships haha. I mostly see it as “the status quo” yknow? not a bad thing, its just.. a thing. (honestly seeing all cute ship content does make me appreciate the subtleties of the lilget wine some more lolll.) i’d say i already liked them in the games but the community content helped me to like them even more.
Nugget/Lily Enjoyer?: hmm i like all the characters honestly. but i relate to lily a little more.
Dynamic Impact: i would think so! lily struggles with her self esteem due to cindy’s bullying, and honestly i think nugget would help a lot with that since he loves her vm and calls her the pretty lily. and lily is like.. nugget’s *ground*, you know?
lilget opinion from a casual enjoyer i hope it’s helpful ✌️
