Fair enough, and if we were talking about "real life" couples, I would agree with you. But I prefer to think of my OTPs as epic and inevitable, able to overcome any odds. It's a refreshing change of pace from most canons that insist on throwing dumb obstacle after dumb obstacle at them because, apparently, it's "boring" to have happy couples in love with each other.

...okay. I don't think resenting writers not writing happy couples and thinking relationships are inevitable really track though. I get invested in romantic relationships too, but outside of them characters also have their individual arcs, other relationships, etc. Some of my favorite characters are basically one bad day away from going full villain, but it's their ability to rein that impulse in and constantly make the hard decision to do the right thing that a) makes them my faves and b) makes their ships truly pop. If they ever fail, well, the love might still be there but it ain't gonna work out.

Again, fair enough. Crazy how fanfic serves different purposes for people, huh? Thus explaining why there are people who like AUs and those who don't, and those who find different things "appealing" about ships.

It's weird for you to be going on about that, when you yourself think AUs are meant to prove characters "will always find each other", which doesn't strike me as a top reason for most people to seek out AUs.

(Anonymous) 2020-10-14 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I gave an alternative explanation for the popularity of AUs, and one reason I particularly like them. I never said that this is what they are meant to do for everyone and in fact made a point of acknowledging your different opinion that you insisted on sharing not once but twice.
