what are, in your opinion, the best ships involving Sannyo? I'm easily influenced by canon so I'd say mamizou is pretty good. i saw what you said about seiga and while it's true i hate seiga with a passion

[All art used is sited with the reliant link at the bottom]

Truth be told, I'm not much of a shipper personally, but I have a lot of fun seeing it from different people and thinking about where it comes from.

But this will be fun. So fun, that im going to take this thought way further than i need to. Hopefully I'll have a good number of ships by the time I'm done over analyzing this.

(I actually mentioned that about Seiga because its the only time I've ever seen that ship before, let alone seen any art for it, and was thinking up how it happened, it was cute art after all)

There's actually a much more common ship with a similar character chemistry pairing Sannyo with Yachie,

but this ship makes a bit more sense because not only is Sannyo a dragon fangirl, Yachie even looks a lot like her pipe. In fact, if you used her tail with its length in Touhou 19 you could probably even stretch Yachie into its exact shape, plus a bonus shell.

(A pretty fun mental picture)

Anyway, the over analysis starts here

______________________

Obligatory Disclaimer:

[Any Readers keep in mind, that even though I said you can think these up using canonical sources as a basis, that does not mean I'm claiming any of them are canonical relationships beyond possible friendships. There are also plenty of other ships that are possible with characters shes not likely to interact with that have just as much potential for cute dynamics]

Ships that can be thought up from the canonical sources.:

Well, first I'll do the ones from Lotus Eaters.

The easiest one to pick is definitely Mamizou. The entirety of Lotus Eaters Chapter 30 was more or less them having a fun and cheeky back and forth.

There is also Miyoi if you want to think of it that way since they are business partners and it's cute seeing her get both encouraged and picked on by Sannyo.

If you want to really be funny, and really stretch the imagination, you can joke about the Ponytailed Yamawaro with the surprising amount of screen time, since Sannyo helped her cool off when she was yelling, and more or less helped her when she was crying.

I mean look at that sad face

Those are the ones from Lotus Eaters.

Now Unconnected Marketeers gives us a few more things to build off of,

Sannyo has a funny back and forth with Sanae, and they both knew about each other before the incident, so that could be interesting.

(Though people can understandably find interactions with any protagonist to build off of if they see it that way)

The next one is since Sannyo lives at Heavens Shelf right beside rainbow dragon cave, Sannyo therefore lives very close by the dragon eater Momoyo too, which is definitely funny.

A surprisingly popular one is Sannyo with Misumaru, this one makes more sense then you might initially think, it comes from Sannyo's dialog implying she's been asked to keep humans out of rainbow dragon cave by someone. That person could only have been Misumaru. Idk how she'd have met her though. One particular artist really loves this ship

Misumaru doesn't technically live in the dragon cave but she definitely uses it sometimes and they both have some mentor energy going for them. My impression of Misumaru just from in game is she has some really proud but also no nonsense aspects to her personality. So it might be fun to see how she could interact with Sannyo.

For the same reason of being nearby, people could potentially ship her with Takane. She lives nearby the Yamawaro and they are both business ladies after all. I think the reason I haven't seen that one is Takane is a bit more hard professional and might not have as good of a back and forth with Sannyo. Especially when Takane has the far more obvious option of Nitori.

She lives nearby the Tengu too, so if someone decided that was enough to go on then they could ship her with any Tengu.

She even says "it's no wonder That Tengu has a high opinion of you" to Sanae.

[We can assume "That Tengu" is Megumu but people can definitely interpret that as someone else if they want. I think ive seen someone assume she was talking about Aya back during the Demo even]

Making it possible to have an argument for Megumu, Aya, Hatate, maybe even Momiji. But given Sannyo's : "you don't need to know about that......., actually i don't know either" flavor interactions with protagonists, it might be hilarious to see her interact with the Tengu.

Unfortunately there is no Sannyo x All Tengu picture to use so have the Megumu laugh Scene from Lotus Eaters:

Thats it for the ships you could extrapolate from UM interactions.

The last ship based on canon sources is Nemuno, they are different versions of the same Yokai species, Nemuno being a Yamanba, and Sannyo being a Yamajorou, a more outgoing version of the species. They both live in the mountains so it's possible for Sannyo to give her a visit if she wants, but Nemuno probably wouldn't travel too far personally.

In conclusion:

_________________________________

Finally I'll actually list my favorites:

My favorite ship though is easily with Mamizou. Mamizou and Sannyo had some really fun interactions.

Despite generally not often thinking about Misumaru, I've seen so much cute art of this ship on Pixiv that it makes me kinda like it. They do have compatible personalities so I can't say it's unreasonable.

I feel like she could have potential with Megumu. A Daitengu might be above Sannyo's metaphorical pay grade, but it could be fun. And they apparently are on speaking terms. Plus, you can read Megumu Iizunamaru as Dragon, and thats fun.

[But that's a tough sell, Megumu already is pretty cute with Chimata, has Tsukasa Mythology, and that great running dragon joke with Momoyo]

I think the mental picture of stretching Yachie out into a pipe shape might have sold me on that ship just now too.

So anyway, that's what I came up with for favorites.

#touhou project #question response #sannyo komakusa #I appreciate Seiga though. She's funny and a useful character type. But it's definitely unusual seeing her shipped outside the Taoists #I really need to learn how to do a short post #I also think the Mike and Sannyo being buds stuff is cute but idk if I've seen the art used in a “ship” type way yet. Just friends so far #I'm actually surprised a Yuuka x Sannyo hasn't appeared. Since they both love flowers and are popularly gap-moe #Sannyo komakusa shipping

Okay I need to rant. (spoilers)

//Quick disclaimer, I'm putting this in the Allurance tag in case any Allurance shippers might have any differing opinions that they'd like to share. I don't intend for this post to be especially offensive, I'm just giving my perspective. So if you ship Allurance and are easily offended feel free to ignore this post.

I like how I called that a quick disclaimer but it's like a full on paragraph-

Anyways;

So this new season did bring a lot to the table. We got a poppin DND episode. The Tea with Lotor was SPILT. We even found out that the paladins are going to Earth. Which is really exciting. I'm actually really glad with how this season played out. The only issue I had was Lance's character development. More specifically, the fan service that came with it.

Now listen, I love voltron. I love the fandom. Parts of it, at least. And I love the ships. I, myself, am a multi-shipper. But I've got to say that the way Lance's character was depicted in this season had a LOT to do with Allura. So they're pushing Allurance, fine, okay. Except well, where does that leave everyone else? I don't want to be THAT person, but not everyone ships Allurance.

I think if dreamworks made one mistake with this season, it's trying to make a specific ship canon. The fan service not only takes away from the show, but takes away the element that's vital to our fandom. The mystery. It leaves nothing to the imagination. Sure we can still write all the fanfics, make all the fan art and conjure up all the head canons we want, but having a canonical ship in the show makes it harder for fans to take the context in which the show has given, and bend it to our advantage.

It's hard to write say a Klance or Hance fic when you KNOW Lance is head-over-heels for the princess. Since Allura hasn't necessarily articulated her feelings about Lance in a way that we can conceive as mutual or contrary to that, it's a little bit easier to sort of ship her with any other member of the team.

Personally I ship Allura with both Shiro and Romelle. But as far as Lance goes, he still doesn't have that spark with Allura yet. Sure it's there. But it almost feels like they don't quite know eachother on a personal level. They know each others circumstances. They know parts about eachother that they have to know. But Lance has a better chemistry with plenty of the other Characters.

(I say this because we're like 6 seasons in and yet I still haven't really seen a lot of emotional development between Lance and Allura. I've seen emotional expression. I know Lance has shown some sort of feelings for allura. But I don't see any emotional bonding.)

Hunk and Lance have been best friends for like, years. Hunk knows Lance on a VERY personal level. And Shiro. Lance has idolized Shiro. Looked up to him. The second he was faced with Shiro he was mesmerized. And Keith. OHH BOY. Are we going to forget Lance literally recognized him BY HIS HAIR? Or maybe his playful, childish rivalry with him that soon becomes the foundation of a deeply shared connection. And let's not forget the ICONIC bonding moment. Lance has bonded SO much with Keith in the show. Confided in him. I could go on. There are so many instances in which Lance has bonded with the Paladins. Pidge too. God Pance is such a cute ship.

I can't think of a lot of deep connections he has with Allura. I mean they met and the first thing he said to her is "My name's Lance, and you're right here in my arms.". Okay, cute cheesy Lance is back at it again. He's constantly flirting with her. (Hell he flirts with like every girl) Only for her to play hard to get. What he's experiencing is ATTRACTION. Infatuation. Which, can turn into something beautiful, but they're rushing it so much.

Just take these images into consideration:

Hell he even flirts with the damn lions

What's so different about these instances and him flirting with Allura?

Do you see where I'm coming from? There's just not a lot of depth yet. If I saw a little more raw, deep, real connection between them then I'd be 100% on board. But I'm just not there yet.

They aren't even slowly transitioning into his feelings for Allura, either. Just one day he talks like he's all emotionally connected to her. But he's going through war right now. You HAVE to be somewhat connected to your partners. There's nothing special about his relationship with her as of right now. And yet like 90% of his character development in this season had to do with these "feelings" for her. It just doesn't add up.

Overall, the season was good. I hope that if dreamworks does decide to make a ship canon, while it isn't necessarily the best course of action (in my opinion), that they do it with tact.

Thanks for reading my shit. I do appreciate feedback so if anyone has anything to add please feel free to.

Also here's a picture of Keith. It's completely irrelevant I just like it.

Okay bye
