ShiningSunShipping (S/M Male Protagonist and Lillie)

[PocketSand]

So I finished my playthrough of Moon 2 days ago and by the end of the game, Lillie seemed to have feelings for the protagonist. I've been doing some searching and apparently Moon/Lillie is very popular but Sun/Lillie is not as popular. Can someone tell me why that is? I don't dislike it or anything but Sun/Lillie is my preferred ship and it just makes more sense to me. There is much art of the two and people aren't discussing them much. Why?

I don't see how it makes "more" sense when Sun and Moon are the exact same character, and the scenes are exactly the same. I prefer Moon/Lillie because I played as a girl, but both ships are exactly the same amount of plausible.

If I see anything I'll post a link!

I prefer the girl because yuri is da best. Anyway, I ship this technically I suppose... though girl all the way.

I found one fic on Ao3: Sunset (post-game spoilers)

Bruh we need this Male shipping bad too. So... Would it be the same as LunarBlossomShipping? or SunBlossom?

 

[phidari]

It's not on the official list yet, but the first name suggested in the list of shippings thread was SolarBlossomShipping.

The official name appears to be ShiningSunShipping (link to ship name's source), so I updated the title with that in mind. It's not on the list yet, but it should be soon.

Incorrect, actually. On Exeggutor Island, Lillie tells Selena that she'd like to learn as much as Selena has, while with Elio she tells him she'd like to become a trainer and travel with him. One suggests idolization, another suggests commitment toward their partner with the way they're worded.
