Everyone be shipping Grani and Skadi and I'm just like ??? Where??

Carol and Grani, however, are absolutely adorable.

^ Grani's drive to protect Carol definitely makes that a stronger ship than Grani x Skadi imo. Pretty precious, those two.

I have neither Skadi nor Spectre but I am hella interested in their relationship, especially with all the high quality art around. I might go ahead and suggest them here.

It's digital.

No, it's just the usual case of anime style faces being pretty much the same with different wigs on.

@A-chan
There's actually a fanfic on AO3 called Virtual Union that has them do exactly that.
Well, not an official one, but there's a ceremony with friends, and a marriage ring, so that's gotta count, right?

For those of you wondering where her body is, just take a look at the back ground.

Oddly, in Japan this pairing is the most popular, while in the West Kanamoney x the model is most popular.

Oh, and to update, in the event chapter immediately following the above, Honoka demands that Kotori marry her.

(In Anata/Everybody news, Kanata keeps demanding she/I sleep with her. Probably literally, except for the time that she offered herself as a body pillow.)

Belatedly, I guess the point of the image is actually the player/Anata's ability to "touch" your partnered idol to elicit comments (like "stop, that tickles" and "hey, that's kind of rude to touch me there") and "increase your bond". There's apparently been a lot of bond increasing going on.

I always believed Yachiyo being older than Iroha despite very clearly meant to be a couple is a reference to the way that you can interpret Homura as being much older than Madoka if you take the cumulative time of the loops in account, it's not an interpretation I agree with, Homura did not grow in any way during the loops and her apparent maturity was more accurately described
as deadened emotions to keep herself going, but the idea does exist.

As for MamiNagi, my main issue has always been less the gap and more that Nagisa would be too young to even have a concept of romance, sure, little kids do get crushes, but they have a different context to them than teenager crushes, this would not be an issue if Nagisa was 20 and Mami 26, which would be the same gap, but at their current ages, that gap comes with the implication of them having completely different levels of maturity.

...which is also not to say they can't care for each other, I do love me when people take the more wholesome route and have Nagisa be a little sister to Mami, it's just that even as an avid shipper, I acknowledge that not every single relationship needs to be romantic, and I do think that Mami and Nagisa should be one such case.

Dude follow the damn series

Also, I hope this doesn't result in a thelma and louise or gunjou situation
Female helmed road trips don't always end to well

^ It's a joke...

@TimSuu how is it yuri bait even if they didn't get their happy ending?

Gosh this ship QwQ

Cannot explain how much I love this

Leonie is only attracted to grizzled old dads.

No, horny nosebleeds are not a real thing.

Can't be that common if this is the first time he has to ask.

How can you possibly stop shipping them!?!?

finally a translated version :D

From the thumbnail I keep swearing that Mako is Aigis.

@EvelineClariss Iroha/Sana, Momoko/Mitama, Rena/Kaede, and Alina/Karin are also also popular pairings. There's also ships with smaller followings like Hinano/Emiri and Konoha/Hazuki.

@Veya I somewhat agree with you about your Mami/Nagisa thoughts although in the Madoka universe where young (magical) girls have to frequently fight monsters (Witches/Dopels, familiars, rumors, demons...) them forming (romantic) relationships with each other does seem helpful especially considering what can happen if too much "negative energy" builds up.

Well after Jeralt's death she does seem to commit herself to protecting Byleth (regardless) of gender so...

Honestly, I feel that Konoha x Hazuki is meant to be canon, the gimmick behind the Azaleas as a group is that they correspond to "nuclear family" roles while very much not being one, Konoha is the "father"/head of the family/"breadwinner", Hazuki is the "mother"/"housewife", and Ayame being the "daughter", Ayame even calls both of them "mom" in certain situations.

This dynamic is also specifically where Nanaka x Hazuki comes from, since in their first event, Hazuki goes against Konoha's wishes and contacts Nanaka as someone outside of their family, and people have equated this to cheating on your partner, which is something I personally don't agree because the analogy falls apart if you go just one degree deeper, as Hazuki was doing that for Konoha's sake as well, and you don't cheat on your partner for their sake, if anything, quite opposite...

"I will be your shield!"
