I saw the ship in your bio and I'm really curious about it (positive), so I shall be evil and ask you about it. I'm not sure what to ask though so.. uuh. Smiles 😃
Hi!!! Yes, the ship AsDim is my pride and joy haha. I started shipping them within the two days I played/finished the game, first week of release.
If you weren't aware or couldn't guess, the ship is between Asya and Vadim. I almost called it ShuRin but thought it sounded too plain and like it would already be a popular ship from another fandom or two, so I didn't want any confusion. Though it still works as an alternative!
To be honest, my view on them and their relationship is almost (if not entirely) separated from canon. Though I think it's possible for Vadim to have a crush on Asya in canon, I do not think she would realistically like him back nor willingly start a relationship with him (without peer pressure from someone else or her own thoughts if such a situation occurred). She's just too into Ira that I have a very hard time thinking of her as liking another haha.
But in my headcanons, the two of them are actually friends and get along. It's not like I want them to have a toxic relationship or such. I like to think after Vadim, Marina and Asya all became more "friendly" with each other, he would start being kinder to her since they connected more ^_^. I like the idea of Vadim not knowing he has a crush on her until wayyyyyy later haha, I think he's the type of guy to be "that was cute" -> "wait what why did I think that". I remember when in the game that Vadim interrupted Asya and Marinas cafe hangout and Asya mentioning something about there not being a way for him to see her unless he was intentionally looking? I was like ooohhhh man he's got it bad,,,,.
Haha but I don't really talk about Asya often and how I think she would like him, if she did. I don't think she would like him first, or more than he would like her. But if Vadim suddenly switched up his behavior and started being sweeter to her, I think it would make her feel really,, well, confused of course, but very flattered too. And I think she would be very happy to see him changing, not to mention having a person who seems to genuinely care for her. I could only see her having a crush on him after that change. If Ira didn't exist at all in canon, I would feel much more inclined to believe she could be romantically interested in him. But to me, it makes more sense (from a canon standpoint) to their situation if it's a one-sided crush for Vadim. Though,,,, daydreaming about them going on dates is very cute to me. Maybe if he's nice enough, Asya will give him a lil kiss on the cheek.
