Why you do like them?
It's because they're Greek and you're Greek?

yes and no:
OKAY SO YOU GUYS CLEARLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SO AMAZING ABOUT CHRISTASIA LETS GO
in the greek community of australia, as in i assume many immigrant communities, there is a HUMONGOUS expectation for the woman to be subservient and just listen to the man of the relationship. that's pretty awful and honestly very problematic and i was lowkey worried that christasia would be another one of those bloody people and they'd be super boring.
BUT THEN I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE
basically from. the. get. go. anastasia absolutely REFUSED to take ANY of chris' crap (and chris doled out a lot of crap lol). anastasia managed to do a great dichotomy of making sure that chris knew he was absolutely NOT the leader of their relationship, or their team. i cannot remember a single argument that anastasia lost. every moment of their relationship was basically anastasia whacking chris over the head verbally <3

This is actually inspiring, I'm not formally greek but I did grow up with a Greek grandmother and I do admit that the women are oppressed. I mean, I wouldn't use the term oppressed in this context but they're basically considered irrelevant people who're solely used for giving birth to children. And yeah, a lot of people do look down on them, and not only the fact that people look down on them, but they are rather taught to accept this. It's appropriated and it is encouraged to not speak up, and that's what's shameful.
Now that I think about it, Anastasia raising her voice in a way is a symbolism of Greek Women fighting back, but maybe that's just me uwu
Christasia ftw <3

Well thanks for explaining it, Air. That's actually a pretty good reason :)
I always wondered why you randomly fanned over this team.
