[intrigueing]

I like the idea of an already-canon ship becoming endgame if the characters' romance is like, an important part of their canonical character arcs. But IDGI with this obsession about a non-canon ship becoming canon. Just...why? What is the big deal? How does it affect the story as a whole? I understand wishing it would become canon in order to get canonical stories with the ship, but the intense *need* really eludes me. Maybe because I just don't really care that much about romance, but unless the romance is really important to the individual characters involved, I guess it just feels like "and this is so important because...?"

Actually, same with those shippers who go "lol, we all know they just *have* to be in love. There's no way they're not in love." When in fact, there's a whole lot of ways the characters might not be romantically in love without it being a denigration of the characters' worth or their non-romantic relationship's importance. The weird "romance = validation" thing weirds the hell out of me. (This was really especially gross in Harry Potter fandom, where it seemed like a lot of shippers didn't really care about, say, Harry/Hermione as a relationship, but just wanted Hermione to be validated as The Best Female Character by getting deemed worthy of being fucked by The Chosen One. Ew.)
