@weebiiluu This is just my experience with the ship. It's not universal, but this is what I see a lot.
I see a lot of "3 is a white savior to 8 who can't speak properly"
@weebiiluu From my experience, 3's often depicted at white/fair skin tone. Meanwhile 8's skin tone is always darker than 3.
People also make 8 this "smoll baby must be protected" figure in the relationship that is sheltered by 3. Like 8 needs to learn how to be a person and 3 is their guide
Callie and Octavio became friends before 2's story mode, reconciled after story mode, and they are currently besties. You can take platonic Callie and Octavio from my cold dead hands
