Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
ok but the fact that I was literally thinking about this whole thing earlier today- what are you, a mind reader? (I kid I kid)
I do really like the concept of Baiken being somewhere on the ace spectrum, cuz I always appreciate ace headcanons gimmie more of them, but then I was also thinking about how trauma would possibly play a part in her relationships too, and maybe that's another reason why she doesn't really bother with romance all that much. Can't get hurt if you don't get attached, maybe she doesn't see it as something worth her while with revenge at the end of the line, all that stuff.
But I think that with Anji it's interesting, because in essence, he really does love her. Doesn't even have to be in a romantic way, he truly cares about her. He wants to see her prosper and do well for herself, he wants her to live. I don't even think he'd care that much if she didn't want him back, just as long as he can be by her side or at least make sure she's doing alright. I think that kind of love in and of itself is just as valuable too.
