This is one of several ship that I can't get behind as they NEVER interacted in canon

Yeah I like pretty much all the HSR ships except this crackship. March seemed like a bigger fan of Robin than Firefly was IMO. Seems like a better option for someone looking to explore a ship with the Idol x Fan dynamic.

I think the appeal of the ship is it gives Firefly someone to be with that isn't Stelle. Firefly is an interesting character, but her relationship with the trailblazer felt very forced

As someone who enjoys fan content of cross franchise ships that are entirely unrelated, I just sit here and sip my tea whenever the they never interacted in canon arguments come up for ships that exist within a single piece of media.

@Hylarn wouldn't it be hypocritical to forcefully pair her up with someone she's never met just because you find her relationship with the TB to be forced? Isn't this even more forced?

1) They've met, they just never actually talked on-screen 2) The appeal of these sort of ships is that you can imagine that the romance went the way you like

Oh glad to see someone else who thought Trailblazer/Firefly felt forced. Because let's be honest it was to give all those Caelus bois a GF and nothing more. It's an afterthought that because you can have your character of both genders that it gave yuri folks some food as well. Not just the ingame stuff but the out-of-game stuff was so cringe around Firefly.

Yeah if you're going to let pandering to the self-inserting male audience bother you, you're going to have a bad time. That's unfortunately the main audience of these games and we always have to eat the crumbs from what they're served at the table. HSR has it pretty good compared to WuWa, which is far more cringe with the self-insert pandering.
More importantly...Robin doesn't have a nose in this picture and it's creeping me out (and don't try to tell me that little squiggle counts as a nose).
