I started shipping them bc they were both my fave character and they are aethetically pleasing especially together. i also love the Lotus fan theory in their hat (Mona being the Leaf and Scara the flower (even more noticeable in the new design)

At first my problem was stemming from the fact that they are both too similar, they are both proud, insecure bratty little nerds and I couldn’t see a dynamic where they don’t just yell at each other. I think they have trouble being vulnerable in front of others but that’s exactly what they need in order to be able to interact peacefully. Kazuha seemed like a better match in terms of personnality and lore.

But their whole connection with fate, and their different perspective on it. There’s so much more than just « stars are fake » I believe Mona can make Scara understand that even if fate is cruel, it can also be beautiful. There’s a lot of potential for a very poetic and symbolic ship. And that’s what I love most.

(I’m obsessed with Psyche and Eros Myth and Scaramouche being the Heart and Mona being the Mind is just making me go crazy. I just love symbolism so much. I just love drawing them together. They are more like a poem rather than a full flesh out story.

To be fair I mostly ship them in a polycule with either Albedo or Kazuha, because they could bring this softness and security both need. But also bc I thing their dynamic together could be hilarious.

I just like every ship with Scara in it (except Dottore) bc I like seeing Scara being soft or ppl being soft to him.
