Here I thought you were going to say something about how it's frustrating to watch the will-they-won't-they bullshit when any real person would have made a move or moved on years ago, and I was going to be like "YES THIS EXACTLY. Why do writers constantly ruin an OTP by waiting too long?!"

But then it turns out it has nothing to do with the fandom or the pairing or the increasingly stupid obstacles thrown at them by the writers, it's just because you don't want a fictional character to be with the person they like since you couldn't.

OK.

(I have no idea what fandom this, for the record. But I've seen far too many shows not to know the pattern.)

Ugh yesss. I hate when writers put stupid obstacles to a pairing being together. It can ruin it for me... especially if the obstacles make one of the characters lie to the other. That just ruins any love I'll have for the ship. (Superheros are sooo guilty of this. "I can't tell her my true identity because then she'd be in danger" uh, how?)

Thhhhhhhhhhissssssssss.

My current fandom handled this really well--the missed chances and communication issues stem organically from the characters, and end of s3 (these are short seasons) there is the BEST subversion of the "dash to the airport to stop her from leaving" trope I've ever seen.

There are talks of both a movie and another series, and I am *terrified* that the writer's will fuck it up and create unnecessary obstacles for the sake of angst. And the thing is, with these characters there is a really obvious, true to the characters "out" if they feel the need. But really, you know what would be a novelty? The characters get together, it changes almost nothing on screen (they are already very intimate friends), and they create a functional relationship (I hold out hopes for a non-monogomous one, or at least not having that ruled out) because that's what they've decided they want.
