I love Chaggie. Some people find they're relationship boring or plain. They say they don't feel anything at all from Chaggie. They're not boring at all to me! To me they're very spicy and exciting. But me, personally, I have some religious trauma, and I know that's coloring the way I see Chaggie. I have a hypothesis. I think maybe Chaggie matches the fantasies of a lot of people with religious trauma, but doesn't speak to people without religious trauma at all, so they can't enjoy it. Let's see if there's a correlation. Don't hate me if I'm dead wrong! I'm making the poll because I'm uncertain.
I am NOT normal about these! I project this onto any ship where one of them is super powerful and pure and probably the chosen one, and the other has evil in their past and can be like a penitent sinner before their god! And that's pretty much all my favorite ships! But like, espeeeeecially Varlie and Madohomu! Baggie and Homura are both SO replacing the god they've lost faith in with their perfect Lesbian goddesses! And they both believe they're horrible sinners unworthy to be in the presences of their beautiful goddesses. But I'm gonna tag the ones I project it onto too.
My favorite relationship dynamic in fiction is a worshipper and their God. Not a literal God, but their God. The only thing in the whole world that matters to them. I will live for you, I would die for you, I would kill for you. My only moral compass is You. You can do no wrong in my eyes and I will never stray from your side. I was born to meet you and to love you. You are the only being I pray to. Your life isn’t just my passion, it’s my religion. You don’t think you’re anything special but you don’t see what I see. You don’t see that you’re the only person who’s ever made me feel this way. You don’t understand how beautiful you are to me and I will devote my entire life to making you understand and accept it.
Oh look, all of my favorite Lesbian ships!
But ESPECIALLY Chaggie!
I know tis ironic that the penitent "sinner" in this case is an angel while the object of worship is Satan's daughter, yet there's no couple that fits this archetype better! Vaggie absolutely has dark past to atone for, but because of that past involving religious faith she now looks to Charlie as sort of moral authority. How could Vaggie's devotion not be religious when in addition to having been saved herself SHE LITERALLY BELIEVES PEOPLE CAN BE REDEEMED AND GO TO HEAVEN BY FOLLOWING HER GIRLFRIEND'S TEACHINGS! Charlie is the only one Vaggie believes can get people from literal hell to literal heaven. Charlie is the path to redemption. For Vaggie that hotel is a cult dedicated to her girlfriend.
when a ship involves one character being so utterly devoted to the other that its borderline religious????? when the devoted character is written to be seen as a sinner, or damned, or a non believer??? and the other character an angel or god-like???? i simply eat that shit UP how can you not??
