I'm pretty most of the crack-ship seeming ones are crack ships in the CN community too, given how simple and jokey the descriptions for those are. The descriptions are mostly very basic one-liners, no deep analysis or anything. But I became curious too, so here's some translations. These will be long as I'm also documenting the process to learn more Chinese. (Non-native language online slang is so difficult to understand. T.T)
Ifrit x Silence (#60): Comments use a phrase "孝心变质" which originated from some Vtuber (狗妈) whose fan nickname is "mom". It seems to have been a joke about how much her fans like her, but the phrase itself now generally means admiration for a role model/familial figure turning into romantic feelings, though still not very seriously meant. I think that's it. That's literally the basis for this ship. XD Well that's how crackships are. Thank god multiple people were sending question marks in the comments, because that's how I felt.
SilverAsh x Lappland (#48): "Crackship duo of white-haired guards." At least I believe 拉郎 = crackship, given that it refers to two people who are shipped without a basis for their feelings. Lots of question marks and "hahaha"s from viewers. Also some comments about how they thought Lappland and SilverAsh were related when they first saw them.
Vermeil x Executor (#44): "Lots of official interactions, (...). Stern older brother x young tsundere girl." Could not reliably understand middle part. I think something about Executor accepting the role of rescuing a girl who's always making mistakes. Generic comments expressing that they liked this duo, one comment about how they were like father and daughter.
Texas x Sora (#31): Included because I was amused there were virtually no reactions to this pair. Poor Sora.
Warfarin x Ptilopsis (#29): "(...) The long-lived Warfarin and the constantly forgetful Ptilopsis. They've certainly become the two Rhode Island females with the most jokes about them." Really don't know how to translate 医疗部内部消化. The second part has a somewhat derogatory meaning, maybe like they're doing grunt work or the dirty work, but I'm not sure.
Shining x Nightingale (#28): "Black and white demons (Sarkaz) with compassionate hearts. Best friends. For the sake of getting Nightingale oripathy treatment, Shining came to Rhode Island.” An actually sweet one. Lots of excited reactions.
Executor x Exusia (#27): "Two angels, a senior and a junior, one serious and the other mischievous. Fellows, doesn't this apple pie hit the spot?" One comment about how their personalities complement each other. A few question marks, a few excited reactions.
Positions 20 and above is definitely when the shipping gets real. The level of reactions and excitement progressively increases. From #20 to #10, the yuri ships like Istima x Zima, Ceylon and Schwarz, and Skadi x Specter got more reactions AND more colored comments.
From #10 and up, the video creator stopped writing descriptions because why each pair was shipped became too obvious.
Saria x Silence (#6): I love how the comments were all demanding that they remarry, make-up, and be a proper family for Ifrit.
End credits included honorable mentions. These were honorable mentions I think because they'd only been consistently popular for the last week or something, while the other tags had been the most frequented in the past three weeks.
Scavenger x Provence was one of those honorable mentions! As well as Blaze and Amiya.
Thank you very much for this.
I am glad that bewilderment on Silence x Ifrit is common. For Warfarin x Ptilopsis, not sure since I cannot read Chinese, but just a guess based on gameplay, perhaps due to their usefulness? Warfarin buffs while Ptilopsis charges skills faster. Actually Warfarin can also charge skills faster.
Of course everyone wants Saria x Silence to be together XD. It's a universal feeling. Reminds of this comic
