BLACKLISTED SHIPS
Here's a list of ships you won't be seeing (romantically) in the zine.
Kaeluc (Romantic)
Moderators are uncomfortable with this pairing as well as the discourse around it. We do not want this ship to cause discourse in the zine, which is why we’ve chosen not to include it
Lumine/Aether:
This one is self explanatory, we do not want any type of incest in this zine.
Minor/Adult
This one is also self explanatory. We do not want these types of ships in our zine.
EXTRA NOTES
Traveler Ships
We have made the decision to allow traveler ships to a certain extent. This extent being that, if it causes any discourse among the zine, we won’t include them anymore and blacklist them. As of now, traveler ships are allowed.
Minor/Minor
Ships that include Qiqi, Klee, Diona and/or Sayu are only allowed
in a platonic setting. i.e best friends hanging out.
Ships won’t be sexualized at all in this zine. This is a SFW zine and any type of NSFW is strictly prohibited.
Oc/Canon is not allowed in the zine since we want to stick with a canon-character only zine
