Totally agree. With any skating pair, not just these two... it's just so intimate!

And the sibling pairs?

[(Anonymous)]

Because there are sibling pairs. And then there are the pairs that could have incompatible orientations.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT (As I tend to ship siblings I better stay way out of skating fandom then.)

Re: And the sibling pairs?

[(Anonymous)]

Dude, just let us have our romantic fantasies here, okay :)

I can't imagine doing anything so physically intimate with my sibling, but my entire family isn't at all affectionate, so.

People are really struggling with the whole ship and let ship principle in this thread.

There are many forms of love. It doesn't have to be sexual.

I hadn't heard.

It doesn't have to be sexual.

I didn't say it did.

Gosh, really? Thanks for letting us know.

Speak for yourself. I am a recently landed alien from the Monogamy Quadrant of planet Sexfuck 9. The female that produced me buried my amniotic sac in the soil near the base of a volcano. I did not require an elder's watchful presence as your humankind initially do, for I was born of the soil, a homunculus, small but fully formed. All my days I ate and slept and searched for a mate to love me passionately and share with me the bliss of fornication. Never did I stop to tarry with my fellow Sexfuckians, as you humans do, for they had nothing to offer me, nor I them. The mate was All, as is the nature of things.

Then your people ensnared me and transported me here, where the practices of love are strange and indiscriminate. Your ways fill me with consternation, human. The inbreeding alone must frequently threaten the decimation of your species.

Wow, thanks to the secret maker for making my comment into such a pretty secret! It's clear, it's colorful, and points for using a still from their "Roxanne" performance, because it was fire. (Also, lol their expressions!)

As a side note: I kind of want to specify that I only low-key ship them. I don't really know much about who they are as people or anything. It's more like I watch them skate and it gives me the shippy feels. And like, the idea of it, in theory, is just really beautiful to me.

Pretty much all my ships are workaholics with shared missions/careers. That whole "My work is vital to me, and your work is vital to you, and our work is the same work, and it's really hard work, and we couldn't do it without each other" dynamic is just a huge emotional kink for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I have a pretty low opinion on romantic and sexual love, so I think whatever Scott and Tessa have is much more powerful than that. There are different forms of love, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

I think whatever Scott and Tessa have is much more powerful than that.

Wanting to fuck each other does not mean two people can't also be best friends with a soul-deep respect for each other as artists, athletes, and colleagues. If I ship two characters (whether they're based on real people or fully fictional), I ALWAYS ship them as best friends and life partners, with a profound and abiding respect and admiration for each other. I have literally never shipped a pairing in my life where I just...wanted them to fuck?

There are different forms of love, OP.

And to think, all these years I've been attributing the feelings I have for my friends and family to indigestion. Everything is clear to me now.

Seriously though, nowhere in my secret did I even remotely suggest there weren't other forms of love.

Like I said, I have a very low, cynical opinion on romantic and sexual love, so I can't agree. You can keep being a creeper shipping real life people and then get uber defensive about it, I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

They've said multiple times that they aren't involved in that way, so it's bizarre that you feel the need to insist that, no, that can't possibly be true, they MUST be fucking because. Uh. Apparently you can't have a relationship like theirs without sex being involved? Please take off your tinhat.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and two people, particularly a male and female, who are best friends with a soul-deep respect for each other as artists, athletes, and colleagues don't have to be fucking. As though that somehow makes the relationship even more "deep" and "profound". You imply there aren't any other forms of love, or that sexual lust is the be-all end-all, by automatically jumping to "they must be having sex too!!".

[(Anonymous)]

They're not mutually exclusive. You can be romantically and sexually attracted, AND have a deep mutual bond of respect as professionals. It's not either/or.

[(Anonymous)]

This argument literally never ends, and never changes. I feel like it needs a meme to encapsulate it and make fun of it, a la "but tell me your thoughts on yaoi."

ITA with you by the way. :)

[(Anonymous)]

Ahh, yes. The old "platonic love can never be as powerful as romantic love" gem.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh? That's literally not what the secret says at all. A person saying they find it hard to imagine being close to a person in XYZ ways without being in love with them is not remotely the same as "platonic love can never be as powerful as romantic love." I'm not sure where you're getting that reading?

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, anon! MTE!

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, dude? I'm ace/aro. My father is my best friend and life partner. We live together and support each other. One day when he's gone, I will feel like a starfish that's been cut in half. I know how fucking powerful platonic love is.

Not sure where you're getting this "platonic love can never be as powerful as romantic love" gem, but it sure as hell isn't from me.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, no. Your reading comprehension skills need work.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't follow skating or know who these two are, but on the one hand, I can understand shipping people like that (I'm not into RPF, but I would very likely ship fictional characters under those circumstances), but on the other, when you interact with someone that way over an extended period of time and still neither of you want to be in a relationship, then you are, like, really, really not a couple. By that point you know. That would kind of spoil the shipping for me.
