As a Loona fan, I find the turnaround regarding her ship trends hilarious.
To start with, her most popular ship used to be with Vortex--it was a sort of Romeo and Juliet thing, as even though they were on opposing sides, they still got along well, with Vortex seeming to have been Loona's first real friend.
It got to the point that people were upset that Vortex canonically has a girlfriend, so they made fics that not only speculated on who the girlfriend was, but also had her and Vortex separate in order to make LoonTex work.
Three years later, "Queen Bee" was released, and Vortex's girlfriend was revealed...
This reveal was when everyone changed their tune. Bee was just so damn likeable and fun that the pre-emptive hatred for her kind of evaporated. Of course, it helped that she was pretty warm towards Loona.
This turn of events spawned two ships that pretty much overtook LoonTex:
HoneyMoon, Bee and Loona themselves. Also supported by the fact that they're canonically pan and bi, respectively.
A polycule of Bee, Tex, and Loona. The best of both worlds!
On the other end of things, Vortex has started to fall by the wayside in the fandom, probably not helped by his only other appearance so far in "Apology Tour", wherein he sang the more biting lyrics in "All 2 U" with his scorned boss, Verosika.
"No, no, no, he's a motherfucker"
Maybe there's more to this turnaround than all of this, but I still think it's an interesting piece of fandom history when it comes to my girl Loona.
