I'm always reminded of the time someone said that vmin isn't considered a ship people can 'enjoy', because a lot of the fun around shipping comes from making up theories, imagining scenarios, fantasizing about what isn't there, etc. With vmin, there's very little to fantasize and that's why people aren't drawn to them as much. I also see your point about how people gravitate towards certain 'tropes' or dynamics when it comes to ships, and how vmin's general, continued softness isn't perhaps as appealing to the masses. I very rarely see slow-mo videos of vmin moments with people making up theories about eye contact and barely-there-touches, because vmin themselves already interact with each other so tenderly, softly, and slowly, lol 😭 I think maybe people find them a bit boring to ship, maybe? But honestly, I feel like if any other ship had the same moments that vmin continuously have, shippers would lose their minds. 😔

But yes, luckily vminies love seeing vmin, even if we're a pretty small group hehe 🥰 Also, thank you so much for calling my little fics fantastic 🥹👉👈 ♡♡♡♡
