tbh I've since grown to be more of a kanaena guy myself But I still hugely appreciate mfen and what they bring to the table story wise. extremely, extremely powerful and raw bond between them. feels very physical, like I could grab it in my fist and squeeze it. can't go wrong with mfen

(template by macarxn_) #mafuena #enamafu requested by @https_shawnee ❄️🎨 i had to hold myself when i saw this request. mafuena is in my top5 prsk pairings, though I'd argue it's the best written of them all, their development and impressions on each other subtly changing as the story progresses has me rubbing my hands together in glee, they're so painfully realistic. most of all i ADORE and THIRST for their equality, in the way they treat each other & their temperaments and natures weighing each other out. Ena akin to a spark, ready to surge into a burning flame at any given moment - compared to Mafuyu, reminiscent of a cold lake, thin ice laid uncertainly over the surface, unpredictable and chilling. ((very poetic, sorry)
at least in the early game, anyway. the longer the story is being told, the more we see mafuena being like yin and yang, yet one of the least understood pairings in prsk. they are not toxic, or cruel, or mean - they are both blunt and honest and it's refreshing. metaphorically grabbing each others' shoulders and telling the other to lock in. Ena has expressed her gratitude for Mafuyu's critiques and built resilience to not take them to heart, learning it's for the better of her art, and
Mafuyu values Ena's honesty and protectiveness, ex. calling Mafuyu's mother for a talk, or insisting how Mafuyu can't disappear and addressing her importance. mafuena has done nothing but validate each other's feelings, look out for and extend a helping hand, eager to give a harshly true wake up call/pep talk, all of this without even mentioning the endearingly funny banter they have, but that's usually just from Ena, thanks to her fiery & tsunderey nature. terrifically written, love it ❄️🎨❤️
