I like to talk about gameplay :] and imo if you have to ship, Aphelios is either with Sett (canon in SB) or aroace (which I always thought was more fitting to his character/lore)
I mean ships are cool, I personally dislike the main one, Sett/Aph, it just doesn’t really fit imo. Aph is pretty much a loner with sister issues. I’ve also seen art for Diana/Aph, Soraka/Aph, and a… regrettable eyebleach Alune/Aph. Never again.
Dominating men/being dominated by women and nothing else. Edit: I just realised this isn't darkinfolk
