actually no now im gonna talk about it now! yes theres the scene with the knife fight. yes people like it. (maybe for a reason? who cares anyways) yes if you look at the ship for less than 5 minutes you can summarize “oh they don’t like each other, they must be enemies to lovers”. but if you actually look at the ship for more than two seconds you actually get to see their arcs and how they do respect each other, and hell if you’re even playing as shadowheart or lae’zel and playing the characters correctly, they can share some sort of chemistry there! even look at their backstories. two characters who have been wronged by their goddesses. two people who are used as tools for a higher purpose. if you play the game a certain way, they’re both characters who are learning to actually live their own lives despite their religion. they’re people who have been conditioned to understand the world in one way; it is cruel, so you must be cruel back. they did not have a soft or kind backstory in any sense due to shads’ shar worship and lae’zel’s githyanki uprising with vlaakith as their leader. maybe people like the ship far more than what is there at surface value? maybe people like the chemistry that these characters can possibly have. if you can’t understand that or even try to look into the ship than the Bare and Obviously Little Media Comprehension that you may have, yeah, maybe they are tropey. but if you actually read into it and see them what they could be as a couple, you’ll see there’s FAR more for their dynamic than the shallow “enemies to lovers”. and anyways people can do whatever they want forever who gives a shit even if they don’t look into that deep and just like the enemies to lovers who cares. get a life if you judge people on their ship preferences, loser.
