I said Wes counts, so here he is~

They were sitting together at the kitchen table, laughter filling the room. And Wes, in the middle of it all, felt like a complete stranger and right at home at the same time. 

All of this — being with Rui and her grandparents, eating food, chatting — was so normal. It was what Wes had only known from stories and TV screens, the way things were supposed to be, the life an orphaned son of criminals was excluded from. 

Yet here he was, thanks to Rui. Enjoying himself, talking, laughing. 

And feeling guilty, knowing that he could never offer her this life.

Do you ship Wes and Rui?

Indeed, I ship it! :D

What made me ship it? Between them having a super fun and cute dynamic and the game itself dropping hints - various NPCs asking them if they're a couple and Ein deciding to become their number one hater due to alleged hand holding - I already knew this one would be added to my shipping cart (haha, see what I did there). Once I started digging deeper into the fandom I also found so many good artworks and fics about them. So: Done deal. You can pretty much assume they're happily dating in the background of most of my fics.

What are my favorite things about this ship? I may be a terminal villain enjoyer and therefore love Wes precisely because he has a past, but I'm not immune to a heart of gold kind of bad boy quitting the life of crime and villainy to become a better person. And people making each other better by going on an adventure together. Wes and Rui as a duo and couple are just this feel good thing that you know I'm not getting from my Cipher shitheads.

Unpopular opinions I have about this ship: Hmm... ugh, I'm sorry to disappoint, but I don't think I have any unpopular opinions about this one, really. With this type of ship there usually are some issues I have regarding the fandom portrayal, but what would be an unpopular opinion in that case is not an unpopular opinion here because coloshippers are smart and cool people who understand things like Rui having agency and goals beyond making heart eyes at boys and Wes having a personality beyond brooding and being cool. So yeah. Nothing here.

(Also I apologize for my absence lately, I’ve been extremely busy irl! I’m hoping things will slow down after this week and I can resume a more regular posting and writing schedule)
