Lol, I guess we are talking about AlphaIdeals now. XD
But YESSSSS, I SO AGREE WITH YOU. Like, really, some of Zinnia's quotes...."You never disappoint me"? "You look so adorable when you sleep"?! I mean, for pity's sake. How was I ever expected to NOT ship it, especially when it's being waved like a flag in front of my face? WELP, I'M NOT IGNORING IT, SO HERE I AM. XD
I demand more as well. It saddens me that I've only come across, like, two fanfics for them on AO3. D:
I don't know if I would say May/Zinnia is my May OTP, because it's tied with May/Lisia in my esteem....so I don't choose, and instead just go straight for the OT3 in May/Lisia/Zinnia. I'm just saving myself on the heartache there, though of course there isn't any fanwork for all three together, that I've seen. But I AM happy that both of these May ships, at least, are getting some attention around here. Warms my heart, that does. ^^
But ZOMG, LISIA/ZINNIA, THOUGH. *draws hearts around them forever* I'm actually now shipping these two pretty hard, and I can see them working out surprisingly well together...and of course, considering that my heart just loves to go and support the greatest underdog the most in any given situation (see also: my deep and abiding love for Terra/Cinderella in Kingdom Hearts over any other option for them XD), I'm actually ending up loving these two together even more than their respective May ships. *headdesk*
Anyway. Yeah, it seems not a lot of people have thought much about this ship, but once I did...well, there was no going back. So, the way I see this working out: Lisia's whole thing is that she wants to showcase a different side to Pokémon and another way of bonding with them (outside of just battling) through her Contests, and with Zinnia looking for a fresh start and a new purpose in life and to figure out what actually makes her happy, now that her destiny is no longer crushing her and she's finding a way out from under her grief...I think that Lisia would be the breath of fresh air that Zinnia needs, and would be really good for her, and would be caring and supportive of her. And I think Zinnia would find Lisia to be charming and endearing and amusing. :3
I mean, I don't necessarily think that Zinnia's going to find her calling in Contests or whatever, but I think it'd be a nice new experience for her to try out; or even, since we don't know anything about Aster and her relationship with Zinnia, maybe it could be a way for Zinnia to remember Aster, and to help take the sting out of the memories. A way for Zinnia to truly work through and work out her emotions and process her grief. I just...one of the main reasons why I love Lisia ships so much is that I think she brings a new perspective to the relationships, and it's something that I, at least, appreciate. (And it's why I adore the concept of Contests in general, because in comparison to battling, it was something NEW and different and unique, with a nice blend of more obvious artistry, so it's nice to have some representation of that in Lisia XD) And new perspective is precisely what Zinnia needs, in my opinion. (May is also good about the whole perspective thing, too, in the Delta Episode :3) I just want Zinnia to heal and be happy and shake off that implied death wish. ;;;;;;
