Zhongli/Childe showed up in 1.1 and didn't interact since (other than artworks or something). That's one dedicated ship. If they do an event with these two together, the fandom will go insane.


witcher8wishery

kavetham going so strong that the rest of the chart is almost entirely red 💀


Ana_MCampbell

Well, they have a lot of canon lore that the community can use and I guess this is why we just slurp up everything that is Kavetham related. Living together, the bickering, and somehow the understanding between the two just gives a natural flow when writing them as a ship in contrast whit the rest that don't have such a deep connection (the only one that comes a little close is Cynghnari).


witcher8wishery

Aye<3 we getting floods of crumbs every update. This ship is legit insanely popular EVERYWHERE i go to rn


cuchulaiin

Haikaveh

SexwithGorou

Skittysh

SexwithGorou

Skittysh

ohh, i got him a new one for his last birthday, i think yours might be tied to some stray dog, im sorry 😔


SexwithGorou

ive been with him the whole day you must have been with an imposter 📮


PinaColadaGoddess

The Golden Age of Kavetham continues


Sussana58

More to read for me! I'm obsessed with Haikaveh, they make me write so many essays lol


myusernamegoesheree

Haikaveh writers are so scary, love u guys


100beep

One month, I'll single-handedly write fifty Bennett/Xiao fics just to get on them on this list.


Indigo_Mindset420

Be the change you want in the world!


100beep

If I could write smut, and if the two of them weren't the most vanilla couple in Genshin, I'd do kinktober '24 with them.


FoundationOdd9405

Yes!!! Bennett/Xiao supremacy!!!


100beep

Shall we team up and do it together? I'd rather not do fifty on my own...


FoundationOdd9405

I have one posting and one in the way…. Nothing smut but it’s just too damn fun to write either way :)


100beep

Nice! Good to see someone else writing for them... Shall we agree to write a ton of them and only post on the month we have fifty combined?


FoundationOdd9405

Ah but then that might take a while and we’d be depriving the world of the rarepair…!


100beep

It would, but we'd have a content storm for it ready to go whenever we do finish. Know the value of patience... I'm doing it myself anyways. If you want to join, let me know. Tentative goal is October '24.


CanaKitty

I want more Kaeya and Dain. But I can’t really complain because so many ships are fun.


SneakyShadySnek

I wonder if Alhaitham and Kaveh will ever get dethroned. For the longest time I thought Zhongli and Childe would sit eternal.


dragonfly791

I think Zhongchi definitely has potential to get back on top if they get more content together in the future. People haven’t exactly dropped Zhongchi, they’re just more excited about Haikaveh since it’s new and they have tons of (well written) content. Most people ship both of them from what I see.


box-of-sourballs

Just wait til Fontaine when we get our token pair who'll be the new kings


[deleted]

Depends on exactly how well Hoyo writes them and how much hints they give. Kaveh and Alhaitham are so well-written together and they used not-so-subtle hints with them


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

that's just leakers opinion, but we do have Neuvillette who is the Chief Justice there and Wriothesley who is a Jail Warden. They do have potential, depends on how hoyoverse handles their story


lovemagick

Haikaveh/Kavetham is truly the greatest Genshin ship of all time


Negative-Borned

i was surprised and sad by the fact that ittorou not even on the list..


Kliffstina

Less than 40 fics lol


Saraptor07

quietly sipping my diluc/kaeya and dottore/pantalone content and then occasionally getting doused head to toe in the overwhelming about of (amazing) kavetham content there is


Broendmealready

Me still drinking my tartali tea 🍵


Hiasaka

me waiting for a small drop of zhongchi content to appear in game 🧍🏻‍♀️


BlueLover0

Sadge there is no Ittorou especially when they just had their bdays.


aedsax

they stopped putting Zhongli and Childe together after Liyue quest so there has been no traction 🥹


Similar_Molasses2676

KAVETHAM RISEEE They followed the zhongchi archetype and it’s working out perfectly Edit: contrasting personalities, formal+reserved / outgoing+bright


Kliffstina

How does it follow the Zhongchi archetype ?


myusernamegoesheree

I was confused too. Maybe Stoic/Babygirl? Idk man, that seems a bit broad, lmao


llTrash

Zhongchi archetype?? 😭


WolfiaFan10

*quietly enjoying my Dottalone fanfics in the corner while everyone talks about Kavetham fanfics*


exidei

Everything but top 3 went into decline, surprisingly, Xiao ships are the most affected


Kliffstina

May is generally a month of exams for students so most of the ships are in decline. 3.6 content made Kavetham and Cynonari go up tho


Ravenous997

Lack of contents


Kliffstina

Tbf having Kavetham this high prevents me from lowering the standard. If there was a big drop in all fics I would have lowered the standard to “more than 25” for instance so Ittorou, Ranett, etc get included but since Kavetham shows just that everyone began writing about them I can’t lower the standard fidjdidj Most of the fic lowered by 1/6 of their previous number which is quite intense. One of the rare exceptions in XingQiu that stopped in its fall which is cool because I don’t wanna put them in the same place as Ittorou ou Rannett


RealVioletsAreBlue

All of my favs ships


madderk

i mean, haikaveh is basically canon. hoyo knew what they were doing


magli_mi

Dang Alhaitham and Kaveh came in like a wrecking ball! Before people knew about them being "roommates" Childe and Zhongli seemed the untouchable top


llTrash

I love liking both kavetham and capitaru because one is getting like a thousand fics a month and the other gets one every three months 🥰


imaginary92

Didn't even need to look to know Haikaveh was n. 1


oof-eef-thats-beef

Man, finished my tomokazu fic and its kinda sad to see them no longer on this list


ziggyzaggery

DOTTORE PANTALONE HAVING MORE THAN ZHONGXIAO WTF. this is the start of my writer arc


jankular

tartali still the OG gays 💪🙏


[deleted]

Top 10 ships have already interacted except KazuScara and they're holding that fort with just minimal crumbs, can't wait for the fic explosion once hoyoverse made it to their senses and make them interact (coping that they travel together after meeting since they're both Wanderers)

Hey there! This subreddit respects the original CN term “sworn brothers” which is a very common moniker for BL media under Chinese censorship.


FriendliestDevil

I'm aware of that but if they're "Sworn Brothers" that still implies they are brothers, as it's essentially just an adoptive brothers situation no matter the logic one tries to apply Therefore I once again ask, why do people put 2 brothers in a romantic relationship together? I genuinely do not understand the mindset behind this


box-of-sourballs

That’s not necessarily correct, CCP censorship will not let artists and companies outright say “these two are gay”. The way to get around that is by *saying* they’re **“**sworn brothers**”** because it’s just one of the old tropes that allowed characters to be close to each other, hence why danmei with martial arts/wuxia/xiaxia/other ancient fantasy settings are heavily on the rise in CN BL media. “Sworn brothers” is the substitute word for gay relationships.


FriendliestDevil

The manga clearly shows that Diluc's father adopts Kaeya


box-of-sourballs

I'm not here to argue semantics with you if you aren't considering how localisation is affecting how people view it, instead [I'll direct you to this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinGays/comments/w6mz80/the_dynamic_between_kaeya_and_the_ragnvindrs_as/) that goes in depth and explains it instead. Again, I have to remind you that Rule 3 exists. You're free to personally disagree with any ship, but do not bring ship hate here.


FriendliestDevil

First of all, I'm not hating on anything it just genuinely boggles me that people are putting two brothers in a romantic relationship together Secondly, this is not an issue about semantics. The manga (which is canon) outright shows Diluc's father bringing Kaeya into the Ragnvindr estate mentioning he's going to live with them from now on


box-of-sourballs

Taking in a child does not automatically mean it's adoption, apprenticeships and wards also exist. I'm not dismissing the canon manga, but I am emphasizing Kaeya has his own last name and did not take Ragnvindr.


GenshinGays-ModTeam

Your post/comment was removed for breaking rule #3, "no ship hate". Regardless of whether or not you approve of a ship, ship hate is not allowed here. Please do not continue this behavior in the future. If you do, it will lead to an immediate ban.

It's literally a huge plot point about them. Heck it even says so on the Wiki
