To recap, Maple and Sally are partners who;
spend all day together
go on dates
take walks on the beach at sunset
share romantic candlelit dinners
have kids
possess matching rings

Yeah. A canon couple indeed.

What is this a parody of?

^ tbf the "Mattel rifle's" stopgap intro during 'Nam was a trainwreck of multiple different design quirks (most notably the specific form of gas operation chosen and the cartridge primer then in use) and FUBARed communication (namely the troops getting the idea the gun required less maintenance and cleaning when the exact opposite was true) running headlong into the harsh conditions of jungle warfare. While the technical issues were ironed out soon enough it took a long time to regain the lost confidence, not particularly helped by unavoidable association with the widespread public disillusionment with the whole conflict (PROTIP: using conscripts in expeditionary warfare is a Very Bad Idea)...
For modern weapons that were legitimately terrible upon introduction look no further than the justly notorious L85. Took the better part of a decade and Heckler & Koch assistance to fix, too...

@Lll02 yep! its a light novel telling the story from sayaka's point of view! so far we have the first volume in english you can buy on amazon. next volume is out in june!

I'm so glad I'm not the only gun nut on here

magnificent! love the colors so much.

Aw. This is really sweet.

Terrific. And not a complaint but if I had to guess I think I would have thought there would be more Cammy x Juri art than this pair.

I love yuri but this can't happen... xD Homura x Madoka and Sayaka x Kyouko is better

Sana has the right idea

^ Lol, I agree. Not gonna lie, this image did make me laugh a lil tho.

This is so cute TwT

Oh no, she watched too much Jojo

F L O O F

Cover the innocent eyes

Is this during the time when Croix was absorbing negative emotions as magic and acting as a teacher for cover? Or afterward where she returns?

She's a keeper

and then they were roommates.

@GrimEater you mean Yuu?

SAYOOOOOOOOTSUUUUGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

So far, Arknights doesn't seem to (fully) follow the trend of "NO COUPLES BECAUSE OF MC INMERSION!!" trope, which gives me hope this couple (plus Kal'Tsit X Doktha) can become a reality.

This Is too lewd!

How wholesome is this. So cute I want to cry.
