>>43348821Oh, no no no! I am the Elder Deity of Hop x Sword-kun. That is to say, I've been in love with, and have been shipping, these two darlings since day one. And spreading the good word of them all over, as well! I adore seeing them illustrated as actually looking like teenagers, or even as young adults. They are simply remarkable! And yes, they are indeed adorably painful! I love seeing Hop grow-up a bit more, and ultimately looking like another Leon. With his own twist, of course.
Don't make me act indecently, please. I beg of you.. As for the actual pairing I was referring to, well. It's one of the most cracked-up crack pairings to have ever been cracked. To make matters worse, it's like, 90% headcanon.
There isn't anything wrong with that at all! I can certainly see how or why you might have. But look at the pairing now. You have thought it up to be so much more than some simple substitute!
