Of course Enciodes's and Gnosis's favorite date activity is burdenbeast riding after their first date in Gnosis's oprec.

Also awww, look, the first couple is finally "going out" to reassure the people all is well... even if it means their schedules force them to blend dates with promotional photoshoots.

(New EN twitter post.)

Okay, I'm gonna talk about it.

You see these two?

They're childhood friends to lovers--sorry, "partners-in-crime"--who literally promised each other their entire country. They've been together for twenty years. They're morally ambiguous businessmen who pull off a coup d'etat for the sake of their mutual childhood dream. They're asshole husbands who understand each other like nobody else to the point where they don't even need to communicate to pull off a plan, that's how well they know what the other will do.

They're a black/white, day/night couple, officially. Yes, I'm serious, they have official day/night artwork.

They're cat and bird. They're nice boss/mean boss. They have fancy matching official outfits. They're constantly drawn to mirror each other.

They're voiced by veteran JP VAs, one of whom is the "Empress of the BL world", and they were all but marketed as a couple for their drama CD. Said VA also started doing suggestive roleplay on-stream, too.

Their relationship literally begins with Enciodes inviting Gnosis to sneak out with him onto the country's first train ride, then Gnosis unwittingly getting him kidnapped and then breaking him out and then inciting a stampede and then promising each other that they'll make their home big enough for each other. And Enciodes is shameless enough to ask Gnosis to spoonfeed him while he's tied up.

Enciodes was literally the only person who stood by Gnosis's side, literally his only friend because Gnosis was and is a standoffish and prickly person. Enciodes was literally the only person who believed Gnosis was innocent when his family was framed for the murder of Enciodes's own parents--to the point where Enciodes says even if Gnosis was involved, he'd forgive him, even though Gnosis doubted his own innocence and internalized all the blame and abuse. When Gnosis is forced to leave the country, he still promises to come back to help Enciodes with their dream, and Enciodes promises to come find him as soon as he himself gets the chance to leave.

The whole time they're apart, they never stop thinking about each other, and even though they've changed, they still shake hands and choose each other again (and yes, they have a whole symbolic handshake going on) and co-found their company together. Yes, they're co-founders and co-owners, they're legally one entity.

Gnosis has crane wife symbolism all over him, not just because he's a literal crane--the symbol of fidelity--but because of the way he sacrifices himself for Enciodes, embracing his own dark reputation to further their plans heedless of the cost to himself. He figuratively plucks out his own feathers regardless of the pain to bring fortune to Enciodes--he does so much for Enciodes, from being the one behind the product that gives them their first fortune, to publicly humiliating himself not just once but twice: once by acting fake drunk and casually setting some men on fire, the second in front of basically the entire population of their country by interrupting the ceremony to become a scapegoat for their coup so Enciodes could get off scot-free, because he's just that focused on their goals and doesn't care. He's the designer of all their factories, the train system, even their country's first warship.

But even though Gnosis is the crane wife, Enciodes doesn't let him fly away, no: he gives Gnosis anything he wants, to the point there's a canonical "sugar daddy" joke about them. There are hints Gnosis lives in Enciodes's mansion. They abolish the antiquated governing system of their country and install a modern parliament and Enciodes "recommends" Gnosis for the position of Speaker. Gnosis gets hungover after winning a drinking contest and Enciodes holds his arm over his shoulder and makes the most adoring face ever when Gnosis pukes right next to him.

So... with all of that...

Why is this ship so unpopular? I thought tumblr would eat this up but it's just crickets up and down. I thought this kind of ship was popular? Or is it just too "toxic" for current tastes? Or is everyone too busy shipping their self-insert with Enciodes to pay attention to his canonical almost-wife, particularly as said wife has an abrasive personality and treats the self-insert character rudely? I thought morally ambiguous childhood friends partners-in-crime who bicker all the time were popular here on the blorbo site?
