hiiii that’s so sweet to say thank you so much!! as for talking about my fav ships of course i love to :) as far as like, “ship analysis” goes that’s not usually my thing, it’s more about whatever personally appeals to me like the way you talked about them! i think one of the most intriguing parts of them to me is of course how different they are in terms of emotional expression and expression in general. the way jju gets lost in his own head vs nik expressing everything in there immediately. jju’s leader syndrome and nik being the space to be Not That. i’m also fascinated by nik typically being the one that’s more emotionally open but jju being labeled as a crybaby /pos so often. to me, i personally interpret this as them being very much on the same wavelength emotionally, just at different levels of expression. on the fic side i really enjoy exploring nik actually setting boundaries when he’s putting his heart out there TOO much, and pushing jju to try and meet him halfway.

then on a more simple level: they look really good together, their personalities and interests contrast and overlap in really lovely ways, and i do enjoy the level of private they are about their alone time. it’s always exceedingly obvious that they mean a lot to each other and i think it’s nice that they keep some of that for themselves.
