collei family!!! Based on tweet from @ Depressedbreak3 on twitter [ link ]
[ID: digital drawing of collei with her family figures. Top left: collei is playing tcg with cyno and tighnari looking proudly from behind her. Top right: collei excitedly holding cuilein anbar next to amber holding baron bunny. Eula is standing behind them watching. Bottom left: collei is frazzled with a stack of books and scratching her head. Kaveh is saying a lot of words to alhaitham, who is reading his book and seemingly ignoring him. Bottom right: collei eating cookies while faruzan goes on and on about something.]
Edit: sorry, fixed typo on cuilein anbar

Grumpy x Sunshine is like a dynamic that I stretch to its limits to find and love in my favorite ships.
When I hear this dynamic, I first think of cartoonized versions of ships where one is just annoyed by everything and the other is so optimistic it’s painful to brain cells.
It’s not a pretty look, basically.
But then I take some creative liberty: Grumpy isn’t grumpy at all—in fact, they’re mistaken as mean, or cold, or emotionless. It makes them appear to most as “grumpy,” but they’re kind underneath harsh actions.
I like the reveal of a cold character actually being the most trusted one all along—being mistaken for the worst when they’re actually trying the hardest and disregarding their own happiness along the way for the sake of the greater good.
And Sunshine… Sunshine isn’t actually all-around bubbly and endlessly optimistic… they’re just kind. Unendingly, without stipulations, beautifully kind. They, too, are mistaken to be one way and turn out the other; instead of mean for Grumpy, Sunshine is just mistaken to always be happy. Maybe they have the saddest backstory of them all; maybe that’s how Sunshine is able to connect with Grumpy.
Their misunderstood personalities—being seen as “grumpy” and “a ball of sunshine” by outsiders—is exactly how I view grumpy x sunshine dynamics: a completely twisted version of the otherwise straightforward name for it.
I fall for this type of ship. Every. Time.
