I just think SunnyNami could be so cute! Like during the Jade Mountain arc it really feels like they lean on one another during all the bullshit that goes down at the academy. They investigate the bombing together and I think after the whole fake Glory thing happens they’d really look to each other. I think Tsunami would be able to break down around Sunny about how scared she was that Glory was dead. And I mean like. Fall apart. Whereas I think around Clay or Starflight she wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that. Maybe she could cry in front of Glory too but Glory’s off ruling her own kingdom so.
Then she’s talking again with Tsunami in Turtle’s book about the school and then in Qibli’s book Sunny is the one who convinces Tsunami to put on the earring. Which. Like. After all the shit Nami has dealt with around animus magic? The Orca statue! Anemone in general! Her general distrust for powers and magic! She must trust Sunny so much.
Plus like. They’d balance each other. Almost like a good cop, bad cop deal. Or the bright and happy/grumpy and standoffish thing Qinter and LynxFall has! And it really feels like they’re both working so hard for the good of the school and they care about the mission and the students and just.
Tsunami spends nearly her whole pov book wanting Sunny to forgive her or not be afraid of her or whatever and a big moment in that book is when they hug and you know!
What a dynamic duo! I wanna write about them so badly.
