I can't comment to FinRay, because I haven't seen Star Wars, but the fact Ichabod was MARRIED AND DEVOTED TO HIS WIFE did put the kibosh on quite a few people who might have shipped him with Abbie during the first few seasons. Now that he's a free agent, that will likely change.

Let's not pretend you have to be single to be shipped. How many shippers break up couples so their preference can happen?

Hell you don't even have to break them up. I was quite fond of the idea of Ichabod having lustful thoughts towards Abbie and then feeling guilty about it.

Yeah like 75% of ships in fandom, outside of the canon ones, involve breaking up a canon ship.

DA.

Yeaaah. I also haven't seen Star Wars, so staying out of that, but Ichabod's being married and devoted to his wife was why I didn't ship Ichabod/Abbie. Like, it had nothing to do with Abbie at all. Ichabod was married, so the only person I shipped him with was his wife.

(Which, again, can't speak for anyone else, but if a character is married, I never ship them outside of their marriage unless they canonically break up. I'm just not comfy with that sort of ship.)

That's fine! I'm generally uncomfortable with infidelity too.

It's the level of vehement rage that was directed toward Ichabbie that was the problem.

I never saw that, just people blogging Ichabbie. I shipped it (when I watched the show.) Katrina was a ghost, LOL, who cares about her.

It's less people not shipping it and more the vehement, vocal, hatred and anger that was so common. I get not wanting infidelity. I hate that too.

Though that being said I don't think most Ichabod/Abbie fans supported him cheating. I think they got that the narrative was leading to Katrina's eventual death (which it totally was from day one), and that they could hook up after that.

Maybe because the shippers were villifying Katrina for getting in tbe way of their ship, even before she was a villain? I remember there were an awful lot of secrets about how terrible she was that seemed over the top.

I like 99.9% of female characters, but to be honest... I did loathe Katrina. I was ambivalent on her after season one but even before her heel face turn in S2 I was pretty ugh.

That being said, I heard some of them were harassing the actress and that is uncalled for. And the outright violent rhetoric to the character was shitty too.

DA. I abandoned the series long ago and I remember that the N!OTP crowd was mostly just done with relationships going like Mulder and Scully or Booth and Bones - I have been scorned by both xD, mum loved them. Now, I don't really have data about what if there's been another POC interest for either Ichabod or Abbie. Also most popular ships back when I was into this show were the ones with her supervisor.

Katrina excuse is wishy-washy since the show made quite a point for long that she is gone - so he'd be a widower.

Well, Ichabod's still a free agent but Abbie's dead so that ship seems to be dead in the water (unless they persuade Nicole Beharie to return)
