My comment about Quistis wasn't meant as a snide dig, although I realize in hindsight that phrasing it the way I did turned it into one, and I apologize for that. I mentioned it because it seems clear to me that the reason Squall opened up to Rinoa and not to Quistis is because Quistis was pushing Squall to open up to her not solely out of concern for him but because she very obviously wanted him to support her emotionally in ways he wasn't remotely capable of doing.

That's my interpretation of the text of the game. You clearly have a very different one, and I really don't care either way. If other people like to ship Squall/Quistis it is no skin off me...

...which is, frankly, my problem with the secret and a lot of the arguments people make against Squall/Rinoa: they insist that anyone who thinks Squall/Rinoa works is "100% delusional" and that nobody should ship it, ever. In my arguments for the pairing I never claimed that it is the only pairing possible for either character and that there were no potential problems with it. I don't care if people prefer other ships or just plain don't like the pairing. But when people are telling me that I'm delusional for thinking it works? I am not the one on a high horse.

Or, to put it another way: I am not telling anyone they can't ship or not ship what they like. When people start doing me the same courtesy instead of telling me that I'm delusional for shipping what I like, then I'll shut up about my reasons for shipping it, and then maybe everyone can be happy!

Oh, wait, it's fandom.

Never mind.
