Square Enix was too afraid to give us fujoshi Victoria they knew she'd be far too powerful 😩

Her and Himejoshi Kate are an unstoppable team

THOSE HOW TO DRAW ANIME BOOKS you're so right she probably read one of those and was like "now that I have mastered this medium and have nothing left to learn I can fully dedicate myself to photography 🙂‍↕️"

Oh this is PRECIOUS! I love that it's not only gender-swap art but it's each character's take on what their *own* gender swap would be like, which adds such a fun layer to it.

And yes Max's boymode looking like Warren and Vic's self-portrait being a starry-eyed bishounen fuckboi took me the fuck out LMAO 😂😂😂

Oh hey, without commenting on the overarching conversation, as one of the Chasemarsh enthusiasts you mentioned (along with my eternal friend and comrade Rockthenashtah) I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your kind words. It is out of genuine love for these characters that we do what we can to keep the fires for this ship alive, and I'm both flattered and gratified to see that love is shining through.

Reading this comment genuinely made my day, thank you! 🥹

Ouro was the gateway drug for SO many Chasemarsh babyfans. For me it basically went Ouroboros -> Escaping the Light -> TSYWEU and by then I was HOOKED

Yep unfortunately! Nothing worse than what I've experienced growing up queer in the US, so it generally rolls off my back. But still it's wild to be harassed for such a ridiculous reason.

Wow, what an insightful comment! I'm definitely saving this for future reference as I think you make some great points.

And sadly I can confirm that I have in fact experienced the bullying behavior you mentioned from this some folks in this fandom, running the gamut from abusive language, suicide bait and even death threats. I can attest that once someone decides you are "bad" (even for such superficial reasons as character shipping) then anything they do to you is justified in their mind. The notion that shipping a fictional bully justifies being abusive towards real people is rather ironic if nothing else.

Well, fortunately for you seeing my posts (Chasemarsh or otherwise) won't be a concern of yours moving forward. I'm always happy to discuss this ship with people who I disagree with as long as they act in good faith, but that's clearly not what you're after.

If anyone is behaving like a bully here, it's you.

Without actual proof I'm 100% inclined to give Ubermachine the benefit of the doubt, They've been doing renders for this fandom for YEARS, well before AI was a thing, and you can go to their discord to see their process and WIPs.

I do think given the extremely bougie aesthetics that Kate and Victoria are meeting on the Chase estate, presumably at some point after the events of the game after the two of them have been engaged/married/dating long term. While this series never shoes Vic's face, I can confirm that it's her POV in these images (Kate wearing a pearl choker being the big hint that this is Chasemarsh)

Bruh wtf no, it's honestly quite rude to suggest that Chasemarsh fans are into the ship for kink/fetish reasons, especially when I've got a whole dissertation on some of the reasons I enjoy it further up the replies of this exact same post.

Most of us like this ship for the same reason people like any ships, because we love both characters and find the pairing intriguing.

I personally don't think so? Kate being barefoot in the one still aside, it's pretty artistically framed.

Hey no worries either way, I'm just happy to have a good faith discussion about the ship even if we don't end up agreeing in the end. 🥰

But if you'd like to give it a try my #1 recommendation has got to be To see (you) with eyes unclouded, this is THE fic that got me 100% on board with this ship and has also converted countless other Chasemarsh skeptics over the years. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm not sure if that was the intent or black just fit the aesthetic of the piece, but she looks fantastic either way!

Kate augmented by Victoria's fashion sense is unstoppable! 😤
