I want to ask all of you just one question.
Why MariAli?
Many of you have made it pretty clear that you're defenders of that pairing - perhaps even fervent. But why?
What are your reasons to ship them together?
Why do you think they are a match for each other?
I just want to understand this ship's popularity.

I actually only know of one person on here who ships them.
Either way, I think the way they bicker and banter, yet still continue helping one another, is similar to couples who've been together for a long time.
That and they TECHNICALLY have known each other for a long time, if you count PC98 as canon and taking place a while before EoSD (ZUN doesn't, many fans do).
I dunno, I suck at explaining sorry.

MariAli has a lot more base and ground than a lot of other ships, like ReiMari.
Marisa and Alice's conversations only drive this even further

- It's probably the most "canonical" pairing in the entire Touhou series.
- They fit really well together.
- Alice --> Dere. Marisa Stole the Precious Thing. etc etc
- It's the pairing that introduced me to Touhou shipping. (And the one that introduced me to Touhou in general)
- Interactions in both official and fanmade games. (CtC, I'm looking at you.)
- This. Basically it's the pairing that has the most representation. Period.

They have great dialogue together. Very amusing.
Though tbh, Marisa is basically the launcher of a thousand ships character for the series... So I guess it's just coincidence?

Angel, I think that's a question you can ask to any ship, so now it's my turn to ask, why just MariAli? xD I like pairing mostly because I like their dynamic together. They spend their time quarreling and their opposites in a lot of things (and opposites attract) but by the end of IN you start realizing that Marisa starts to rub off on Alice, in SA you start seeing they get along better than they did. They're also both into collecting rare items, they're both magicians and they both live in the Forest of Magic. And as Shadie said: "It's probably the most "canonical" pairing in the entire Touhou series." --> IN Magic Team bad ending. If that's not pairing fodder I dunno what is. If we talk about MariPatchy, that shipping wouldn't make a lot of sense since Patchouli doesn't really care about Marisa and when you compare Patchy's dialogues with Alice's, while you have Alice giving her advice and going "Be careful!", Patchy is way more detached and "welp, good luck with that". So all in all, it's the pairing that makes more sense when it comes to Marisa or Alice. I actually only know of one person on here who ships them. You need to keep up with the times, Zak xD /plants MariAli flag at the top of Mount Everest with Shadie and Vex next to her. |
