I'm kinda surprised by this, because I feel like G'raha's overtures are really clear in SHB

I don't disagree with what you're saying, you probably know more than I do, but like. that catboy came on real strong is all

arguably Haurchefant isn't 100% canonically in love with the wol in the first place, but most of the fandom is pretty convinced he is based on the various language texts and the general vibe of his story. it's entirely possible to spin his relationship with the wol as just admiration or lust.

same with G'raha. he did come on pretty strong in later ShB, yes, but it's feasible to write the overtures of admiration off as hero worship or unchecked idolization of the wol in a very unhealthy or non-romantic way. there are players out there who detest G'raha for that reason and have their character detest him too, and even if I disagree with their takes, they've just as much right to be haters as the shippers do to ship with him.
