And about Saniwa/Sword ships... I love that in this fandom, it's generally acceptable for people to draw/write themselves being happy with the sword boys that they like the most, so I don't know why people would hate that if it's so unproblematic?? But from what I've seen of other people who are in this fandom, people seem to be alright with them existing, male or female or any other gender. Anyways, I feel like I'm the only western saniwa who loves Hizamaru and Sohaya enough that I pair them with each other/myself, I'm sorry. ;o; I don't get the hate for that either, personally. I get not liking the pairing for other reasons (such as preferring BL), but "hating" the female saniwa for a personality which is completely subjective to every person writing about them...???

My personal idea of the saniwa is someone really weird and goofy, because that's what I'm like, and it's what I prefer in heroines. But someone might see theirs as submissive and cutesy, or brash and loud. It's unique so I don't see why anyone could hate the entire character, rather than just a specific characterization of them.

Imano/Sayo is kind of cute btw... [ponders it]
