being canon is being validated by the author and that you'll get material straight from the series itself

in Kill la Kill fandom, two separate ships were vaguely hinted to be canon in the last episode. It's caused a big shitty ship war, but the truth is I can see why. Both ships feel like their ship was building up to the final "get together" moment, so to be told all that build up is for nothing (i.e. "it's not canon!") is heartbreaking.

To be honest, I don't see how people ship non-canon stuff so hard. I ship some non-canon stuff (and I mean like 'they talked once' territory of interactivity), but 99% of my ships were based on some level of interaction they had in the series itself, along with the build up of their canon romance. Maybe I feel like I'm being called unimaginative by people not understanding the importance of being canon, but I really do like the author themselves showing how these characters really would interact if they got together.

Otherwise, shipping non-canon or crack pairings is like 99% "I think they would like each other! *smooshes dolls face together*" level of delusion. Not faulting people for liking that, but I personally think it requires too much assumption of a character to ship "random" pairings. I guess I prioritize characters staying in-character more than exploring headcanons.

I think the shipping of non-canon often comes from the two characters being more interesting/better written or finding their interactions to be more intimate or emotionally fulfilling. To give you an example, I always loved Ron/Hermione in the Harry Potter books. Did they have relationship hiccups? Yeah. But they were teenagers so for me it worked. When it came to Ginny/Harry though, I had a hard time getting into it because I thought Ginny could have used more development. Not that I didn't like her but I wasn't invested in her.

When I watched the films, though, I couldn't help but lean towards Harry/Hermione even though I still liked Ron/Hermione too. Why? Because even though Harry kisses Ginny and they have a few cute scenes together, I never felt that the characters were ever in sync or showed a depth of understanding the way Harry and Hermione did during the dancing scene in the 7th movie. And it surprised me that I felt this way, but I honestly thought that individual scene was more touching and emotionally deep than all of Harry and Ginny's scenes put together.
