remind me again, what's their canonical relationship?

It's basically just women version of Xingqiu x Chongyun and this artist seems like it a lot, I don't even remember they ever meet in the game (dunno if I miss something in some events though)

    Xingqiu and Chongyun do meet in game several times. In fact, they're part of the Liyue youth group (which also includes Xiangling, Hu Tao, and Xinyan) being all childhood friends with each other.

    It's a joke that Yelan is Xinqiu's aunt, while Shenhe is actually related (aunt I believe) to Chongyun. And given their close relationship, people started pairing Yelan with Shenhe and it ended up sticking.

    It's one of a few ships that I don't understand as a whole. ScaraMona is another

    I've said it in an older post but if they can be shipped they will be regardless of if it makes sense or not. Like, i've seen Hu Tao x Barbara for instance. It makes absolutely no sense but people like the idea of it.

    Cracked ships blaze their trail, however short it may be.
    For ScaraMona, it was thanks to an early event where thanks to Mona, she teleports us out before Scara can try to sneakily attack us. Other than that, they were both looking into the fallen meteorites that were putting people to sleep.

    I was a bit uncertain if the girl on the left really was Kasumi, because the colour is a bit off, but her hairpin checks with her 1st outfit, and her hairstyle is the same as well. I think the artist is just colourblind. Lmao

    So it seems that when this was first posted to Twitter in January 2021 it was alongside an another animation of Kasumi with the same blue hair.

    The artist also posted a very similar animation to their Pixiv (post #8056687) of the same scene of Kasumi banging a pot to call folks to dinner. This time it's explicitly tagged as Kasumi and has her typical grey hair. It was posted later in August of 2021, and I'm not 100% certain, but it appears to probably be a repost from 2015 (I can't find the original posting if it was, but many of the artist's prior sources are now dead).

    Other older posts of Kasumi by this artist (e.g. post #2197117 and post #2135177) also feature grey hair.

    So it's almost certainly the case that it was just a conscious artistic decision to tweak her hair color to be somewhat bluer.
