Amidst the tribalism between most of the top Dan Heng ships in the “Honkai” fandom, I prefer multishipping him with Blade, Jing Yuan, and both Trailblazers (Stelle & Caelus). They’re my HoYo OTPs, so I like to headcanon Danny having a “1 girlfriend, 3 boyfriends” ordeal. He’s probably swinging both/all ways with 2 hot Xianzhou grandpas and 2 Stellaron vessels (will continue as long as he lives). The Astral Express’s resident dragon was a Vidyadhara High Elder after all. 🤭🐉

I'm trying to catch up with hsr, and I'm really enjoying travelling with Dan Heng ✨️. I drew Stelle since I chose her, but I'll probably try and alternate between the two trailblazers

Part of the reason why I ship Dan Heng/Trailblazers (Stelle & Caelus versions) so much is because they feel like the “1st male suitor” type of romance that’s fairly common in a lot of animanga-style media. They’re just so shojo-coded (melts my heart whenever I see them)! Arguably better than many of the half-baked “1st male suitor” schtick in any kind of media.

While I may interpret the relationship between Dan Heng and March 7th as an mlm/wlw solidarity cause, that doesn’t mean there ain’t viable opposite-sex ships (Dan/Trailblazer [Stelle], March/Trailblazer [Caelus], March/Sunday, etc.) for either character. Hell, the latter “Honkai” ships can be interpreted as straight-passing (most of the aforementioned characters barely come across as straight to me). Putting the dragon and pinkette together can also be a totally platonic/familial duo where both parties fall within the bi/pan spectrum; probably better than any romantic variant (in a “bestie vibes only” way).
