No because being an og jainadyke truther during the final couple episodes of c1 was so harrowing. Jaina and Hardwon had that one scene where they wrestled and if I were a lesser (cishet) fan I would have thought there was sexual tension. Luckily i know better though!
People were posting on the subreddit like "does anyone else ship hardwon and jaina? 🤪" and I was like do NOT speak that into existence. You are all boring weirdos and I CAN'T let you ruin this for me
This is jokingly parasocial speculation but i do (unseriously) believe murph posted episode 91, saw the fan response implying they had chemistry, and immediately had like. A full come to jesus moment realizing it could be interpreted that way. Which is why we got the ep. 99 Jaina & Hardwon scene in the Specific Way We Did lmaooo
Its very pointedly made clear that the idea of them together is laughable but also like. The fact that Brian "Show Don't Tell" Murphy went out of his way to hastily construct an excuse for this background NPC to have gay sex (you have to admit jainashine is pretty random) is palpably repentant in a way that's kind of hysterical.
