I haven't seen this but after reading this secret I feel pretty sure I'd ship it if I did. I always like the idea of "platonic soulmates" in theory but it almost never fails that I end up shipping them.

m/f gets together->why do all m/f relationships in media have to be romantic
m/f stay strong friends->THEY'RE PERFECT TOGETHER

wtf brain, just decide what you want.

ultimately canon with platonic relationship and fanon exploring shipping is my favorite place to be, but not all people are content with ships staying in fandom or with platonic relationships getting shipped together at all.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm like this too, and I could never understand why until I realized that it was almost entirely because, when the characters' relationship turns from friends to lovers, the writers almost always start falling back on annoying stereotypes and tired tropes and the whole thing becomes about their relationship rather than who they are as people. Romances well-written can make a story pop, but romances poorly written (and romances where the character development takes a backseat to the makeout scenes ets) ruin stories.

Because in most canons when the characters get together they diminish the female character to do it. As long as the relationship remains platonic, she gets to be her own character and have her own goals/wants/needs.
