SAO Pride week 2021 Day 1: Introductory Post

Happy SAO Pride week!

I've been so occupied with IRL issues so my fic drafts will be left in dead folder again, but I still wanna do something for the week that my friend planned so hard for, so I decide to write a short introductory series of characters & relationships that are either confirmed as queer or can be interpreted as queer in the franchise.

Disclaimer: Besides the confirmed canon queer characters I only aim to give readers different view on why some of these wlw, mlm relationships are popular to a certain circle in this heavily heteronormative series, and where the interpretations come from. You can choose to ignore these posts if you don't believe in the fan shipping because surely the series do have easy gateways for you to believe in other heteronormative interpretations. At the end of day this is purely for fun.

So here is the outline:

Day 1: Introductory post

Day 2: The confirmed canon lesbian Dakira Synthesis 22

Day 3: The confirmed most likely canon Sakuya x Alicia

Day 4: Interpretations & tributes of Asuna x Yuuki in official SAO media

Day 5: Interpretations & tributes of Kirito x Eugeo in official SAO media

Day 6: Interpretations of Eydis Synthesis 10's sexuality, her relationships with other female characters especially Alice

Day 7: Other ships' introductions

SAO Pride Week 2021 Final Day

Due to various irl reasons, I can not finish all 7 days of SAO Pride week as I want to. So I can give you a post on the rest of the ships I want to tell you about that still have a fair amount of tributes in official SAO media.

Eydis x Alice

Eydis is an interesting case. She's a mobile game's original character and yet she got popular among SAO game fans very fast due to her bright & energetic personality and badass when needs be, yet she's way more attached to girls and is meh or so-so towards guys including Kirito. Also, her story does not contradict canon events and she can be integrated very well to canon without anyone raising eyebrow. Among the interpretations of her character, many fans (even straight cis males) actually suspect or think she's a lesbian, despite the game throwing in parallels to how she loves girls is the same as how she loves her blood younger sister (much same old backtrack tactics that Japanese media tend to do to sell queer-coded females to the male audience), and yet some catfight with Lipia, her enemy who doesn't fit her sister type contradicts that because they has so much chummy lesbian UST that even Bercouli joked about it with Eydis. Originally I wanted to write a full blown post on Eydis Synthesis 10 and how much chemistry and attraction she has to girls, either it's her self-proclaimed younger sister type (Alice) or the ones who don't fit that category at all (Sheyta - the super cool, deadly & silent knight, Lipia - foul-mouthed brash & brave Dark Territory enemy, Goddess Stacia Asuna) but well... it's too much, I can't cover all unless you play the ARS game since launch, so at least I can speak a bit about her most popular ship: Eydis x Alice

I can speak with confidence that out of all alive characters in SAO franchise, Eydis is the one who genuinely cares the most for Alice the Knight. Eydis used to catfight with Eldrie over getting affection and time with Alice. Eydis thinks Alice has romantic feelings for Kirito, and yet she respected Alice's feelings when she visited Alice at the log house when Alice was taking care of coma Kirito unlike Eldrie who was mad with it. Though Eydis is a good person, when she knew Kirito x Asuna is a couple she's fine with it and supported them happily, then wished for Alice's happiness in the real world. After the War, when Kirito said he thought Eydis loves Alice, she replied that "Of course I love her!". In one event when Eydis was talking to Delegate Swordman Kirito, if Kirito said probably Alice is not all that happy in real world, she demands to go to Alice immediately. In another option, she threatened Kirito that if Alice is unhappy in real world she will make Kirito pay. If Eydis is still alive after the 200 years timeskip, I think she's still waiting for Alice as she said.

One of Bride Eydis homescreen's lines is about her marriage partner having crystal-blue eyes and only Alice fits the bill.

Renly x his best friend

These two were once said to be Eugeo x Kirito 0.5 because of their similarities. Also the 2 coupling birds symbol and crossing sword symbol. How obvious are they? They also have a (very gay) dedicated section in Renly & Sheyta's story event in ARS game.

Asuna x Kizmel

Kizmel is a NPC character in SAO Progressive. Without spoilers (as it's a matter of time all of Progressive gets anime adaptation), let me tell you this ship has a small dedicated faction among the Japanese readers. Even the first Progressive manga artist ships them.

Here is a small panel in the manga. Look at what Asuna wrote on the ground when Kirito & Asuna were separated from Kizmel:

Asuna

❤

Kizmel

(Though I once feared true to Reki's old tendency Kizmel will die before Kirito & Asuna parted way in Floor 25, or maybe not as he has changed his way since Unital Ring and current Progressive. Who knows, we'll see)

I realize that mobile tumblr doesn't allow over 10 images in a post and I'm like "how the f*ck can I make my Pride post of Eydis Synthesis 10 being super duper lesbian when I have like a folder of 100 images of her having UST fight with Lipia, super estatic whenever a new girl joined the squad and super meh when it's male, catfight with Eldrie over Alice's affection, declared how much she loves Alice in front of Kirito, being hyper interested in Asuna so much that Kirito sweated and kicked her to the Dark Territory so she can't steal his wife, or Eydis being super mad and ready to beat up Kirito when she heard Alice might not be all that happy in real world, or Eydis saying to Alice if Kirito rejects Alice for Asuna then Eydis will pick everything that's left of Alice, or Bride Eydis's line of her married partner having crystal-blue eyes and there is nobody in canon who has those eyes other than Alice?

My version of SAO "Everyone Lives" AU

I need to get out my ideas of what would happen if most of SAO's Major Character Deaths got averted before Lycoris is released (except the villains and Sachi & the Moonlit Black Cat guild's death, there is just no way to erase it without undoing Kirito's development in Aincrad). I know SAO Gameverse/ Lycoris wouldn't follow any of my ideas, so I just want to share my view. Who knows, maybe this will become a huge fanfic some day.

Note: This post is full of multishipping/ non-canon shipping pandering headcanons/implications (the biggest ones are Eugeo/Kirito/Asuna & Bercouli/Fanatio/Dakira), as well as obvious heavy Alicization WoU and Moon Cradle spoilers, please beware. I also lightly included some game-only Alicization characters (Eydis and Medina) because I like them.

1) Cardinal is alive and she has high authority enough to install kid Alice Zuberg into a free Cube to make her a living entity separate from Alice S30

In most recent live Q&A Reki said that while writing Alicization the first scene he wrote is the scene of Kirito and Alice S30 climbing back into Cathedral and Kirito convinced Alice S30 to his side, he mentioned Alice's Synthesis is an irreversible one and it aligns with my reasoning of how Zuberg & S30 are different Fluctlights so I'll keep the same settings in here. So how would this affect everyone's treatment to the 2 Alices?

- Kirito would be glad that he doesn't have to "kill" any Alice just to keep one;

- Selka would be extremely confused, but I think she would eventually accept happily that she has 2 sisters now;

- Eugeo... would have even more complicated emotions than anyone, even more than he imagined. From my own experience, during university period, I went to a class reunion full of friends from middle school, and I reunited with a classmate friend whom I used to like a lot as a person. But for some reason I couldn't like his adult self as much as his middle school self even if he still isn't a bad person. To me he changed way too much in how he behaves and how he presents himself that I can't like his adult self like his middle school self, and I was shocked that puberty could change a person that much. Same to myself, I have changed a lot in my puberty too, and he also said I'm not the same as before any more. Back to my AU, I feel like Eugeo and Zuberg might mirror what I felt when I reunited with my classmate. Eugeo used to describe Alice Zuberg like the sun on the blue sky and that image of her is his source of happiness whenever he's sad, while Alice S30 is so unapproachable and cold like ice. Eugeo being indifferent to S30 is one thing, but to Zuberg it's like reuniting with a friend in elementary school who stayed the same and both would be shocked as Eugeo's the one who changed so much due to puberty. In ARS game Zuberg even said that while being jailed in Cathedral's ceiling, Eugeo (and everyone else) grew so big while she stayed the same and she's upset.

So I think in the end Eugeo would still end up letting Zuberg go instead of forcing her into the fantasy he held up for so long. Interestingly Eugeo himself already muled over this in LN when he was reading books in Cardinal's library, that the best outcome they could hope for is to give Zuberg back to her body and send her back to her family happily while he continued his adventure with Kirito because they're being chased away by the Church.

2) (Super self-indulgent) Bercouli/Fanatio/Dakira

Dakira: "Fanatio-sama is so amazing and dazzling and I love her, but she has Commander Bercouli so I can only be her subordinate and admire her in silence..."

Fanatio: "Dakira is so hardworking and loyal, she has so much potential I love having her with me but then what would Commander think..."

Bercouli: "Don't worry I'm cool with it, take care of our Sub-Commander, Dakira. And it's not like I can stop my knights from flexing their gayness..." *eyeing Eydis Synthesis 10

Super spoilers: Even if Bercouli didn't die in the War I think he would eventually unfreeze his age and find an ending for himself when he thinks he's lived too long and done enough for the Knights many years later. He would entrust Fanatio and her son with him to Dakira before he passed away, and Dakira would become Berche's 2nd mother (instead of Fanatio taking care of the kid alone in canon).

3) (Super self-indulgent) Eydis S10 x Alice S30 and Medina x Sortiliena

I could never imagine I would like any gameverse girls before but ARS and Lycoris manga have sold me Eydis x Alice S30 and Medina x Sortiliena OMG so I ship them hard in my AU.

4) Super self-indulgent Eugeo/Kirito/Asuna

(You guys who have stayed with me for years should have known already ara ara)

I don't feel it would not be that different from this excerpt from HR manga (seriously this artist really vibes with me I wanna have a drink with him sometimes).

Everyone: "Don't you think they're just too close? Aren't you afraid Asuna?"

Asuna: "Yeah I should, should I? But like Kirito seems so happy with him around like no others could and I feel he's a good boy so I can let them be"

We also should have more Eugeo & Asuna's interactions of chewing on Kirito's bad habits XD. I also feel like they can find solace in each other being fellow victims of sexual exploits from adults, in some aspects that Kirito can't fully understand that only fellow victims can.

4) Yuuki is alive and comes into UW as Goddess Lunaria

Poor Moon Goddess Lunaria, she's the 4th God of the Human Empire but even Reki forgot her in WoU and only mentioned her more in Moon Cradle. Anime and games also made it worse for leaving her out completely :(. So I want her to get her role in my AU as the Goddess of Dreams. Yuuki extremely fits her role, not to mention she cosplayed the Moon Princess in MD before. More Stacia Asuna x Lunaria Yuuki interactions are here of course.

5) Eugeo and Lunaria Yuuki participate in WoU with everyone

- Lunaria would be an amazing fighter of course. I feel she would be even more deadly than normal now that she has to start fighting with human souls on the line, whether they're real or artificial.

- Eugeo would be a huge AoE Life Absorber and Healer and also becomes destructive sometimes borderline death. But fighting with others will help him start seeing his own values and gain his own will to survive for others. And he'll become the first proper Knight in UW without going through Synthesis.

6) WoU changes and outcome in my AU (huge spoilers)

- Kirito got unconscious and damaged for a while, but without self-destructing his own Fluctlight from guilt of Eugeo's and other comrades' deaths because Eugeo is still alive and took care of him, so he eventually healed, at least quicker than canon;

- Asuna, Sinon and Leafa came to UW at once to help heal Kirito. There is no facepalming Asuna vs Alice fights since Alice didn't develop some level of Florence Nightingale effect towards Kirito (according to Wikipedia: "The Florence Nightingale effect is a trope where a caregiver falls in love with their patient, even if very little communication or contact takes place outside of basic care. Feelings may fade once the patient is no longer in need of care.");

- Sinon won against Subtilizer instead of the anti-climatic outcome in canon;

- Kirito & Eugeo fought together to win against PoH while Asuna and other girls kicked ass to huge armies;

- When they won the War the acceleration ratio of UW was changed to 1:1, Human Empire and Dark Territory made peace with more trading, labor & technology exchange treaties that benefit both. Alice S30 & Eugeo came to real world through Ichiemon & Niemon robots and chilled in ALO while Kirito beat up Kikuoka for hiding from him the actual purpose of Alicization project, and thus Kirito forced him not to use his friends as war soldiers.

- Alice S30 chose to go back to UW in the end since she finds her most values as being a Knight, coming to events of farce in real world is not her thing, and she wants to spend time with her Zuberg family. Meanwhile Eugeo already parted with his family after dumping on them a big bag of his Knight's salary money, saying that they can live prosperously without him working his ass off for them now, and he never comes back. He still comes and goes from real world to UW to do duties as a Knight who helps connecting real world & virtual reality, and sometimes visits the Zubergs with Kirito & Asuna. In real world he lives as an all-purpose robot in Kirigaya resident, while ALO he lives in the log house and takes care of Yui whenever Kirito & Asuna are busy in real world.

THE END.
