I think I missed your point. You love them for writing a friendship between two women? The writers could also write a friendship between two women and make it romantic. The reason they won't do that is because it would be a homosexual relationship, not because the writers are placing some "pure" value on a friendship that is only platonic.

They could, yes, but I don't think that's what they're going to do - and nor do you, if I understand correctly.

And yes I understand *why* they're probably not going to go there, and I can see why that is irritating to those who ship it, but that doesn't mean that what they are doing right now isn't also great.

While I understand that lesbian relationships are under-represented in media, so are mature friendships between women, especially between those who have originally been set up as rivals romantically.

I get what you mean, I'm also glad that they're actually developing a mature friendship between two women who were originally set up as romantic rivals. But I don't understand why you're so glad that it's "just" a friendship, as if romance would preclude this. Maybe I just misunderstood you.
You're right, I don't think the writers will make this pairing canon.

[kallanda_lee]

I don't necessarily need it be more, personally. And with how they've written romances in the past it just gives them more room to mess up. If they'd do it well, I certainly wouldn't mind, but it's not something I'm waiting for.

To put it this way: I'm happy with the friendship. That doesn't mean I'd be unhappy with a romance, I'm just not waiting for it. I'm just generally happy with the course the show is on now.

Well I'm glad that you're glad that the writers are just keeping their relationship platonic. I don't need it to be more either, but as a bisexual woman I would definitely appreciate it, which is why I expressed annoyance when you said you sort of loved the writers for keeping their friendship platonic.

[kallanda_lee]

I didn't say I loved them for keeping it platonic specifically, I said I love them for writing a good female friendship.

As someone who never shipped them, and never really thought about it happening in canon given the nature of the show, that's pretty much it.

While I understand why you would appreciate it, I don't see how someone liking them as friends, especially since that is the current canon, should be cause for annoyance.

Fair enough. I think you just worded your original comment poorly.
