Rex (Xenoblade 2 and 3)
Considering we ship both RexShulkA and Aegiscule… yeah he’s the main Xeno timeline’s most married pansexual man, no debating that

I suspect a lot of that is bc aegiscule was already fairly popular in the western fandom before 3

Either way for me at least it’s very much a death of the author situation—I kind of think Monolithsoft intended it to be a harem but wrote a narrative that far more heavily supports it being a polycule

It was somewhat popular on ao3, I think??? But that might be my own perception coloring things bc I very much was an aegiscule shipper before 3 *and* it’s been ages since then

Me about the aegiscule
