Most people enjoy resolved romances. The more people that enjoy your creation, means more money.

Ugh YES! I just realized that most times, i don't like my ships becoming canon. With some exceptions-- but I just like everyone flying solo. Moments of blurting, maybe some UST, maybe some deepening of friendships -- you can even toe the line! But no actual pairings with few exceptions.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree OP.

Also the girl in the middle is really pretty and i'm kind of crushing on her a little.

[(Anonymous)]

As a multishipper -- even one with several ride-or-die OTPs -- SO MUCH THIS. I've never wanted my ships to become canon: I only ever want the freedom to play with their relationships on my own terms in my own fic, and I want people who ship those characters with different ones to be able to do the same with theirs.

The fannish obsession with canon ships as the only viable ones have done nothing to change my mind on this.

It offers new kinds of plotlines to give characters

It depends on the creator. I know the Castle creators wanted Castle and Beckett to get together. And then drew it out two or three seasons too long.

Most the time I don't want creators to put their characters together and have canon pairings because they don't know how to write anything interesting with the pairing after it's done. (Castle was terrible at this.) It's a romance series problem. They get the pairing together, the book ends, the next book in the series is a new pairing. Gah.

So, a lot of times the pairing really devolves into only good if it's UST because the UST is the only reason there is a pairing at all. Like Castle and Beckett had nothing really in common, (Beckett keeping her private life private from Castle didn't really help) and thus wouldn't last as a couple no matter how much the creators pushed it.

Romance, especially long term romance that gets beyond the get together "honeymoon" stage, really is one of the hardest things to write and make believable. What happens once you answer "why can't they be together now?" is sometimes considered quite boring and so they come up with contrived conflicts of insecurity and bad communication to keep it "interesting." Bah.

Give me lots of Gomez and Morticia pairings or Evie and Rick from the Mummy. (But this is only my opinion.)

Honestly this is why I mostly ship in fandoms where it's impossible for a relationship to happen or it's obviously never going to happen. It's more fun and enjoyable when the shipping is made with fanworks.

Like its great when it happens in canon if that's what the creators intended - but when other fans go rabid and try and pressure for their precious ships to become canon - I just nope out of there so fast or just make sure I stay as far away from that end of the fandom as possible.

Most resolved romances seem to happen when the show is like, "Shit, what do?" and then of course it's a signal that the whole thing is going down. So I'm totally on board with your scenario.

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds amazing and I would probably adore your series, OP. So much canon, so many shitty, poorly-written, terribly executed “romances”. Just give me all the potential ships and let me headcanon them to my own standards, thank you.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the same, unless it's implied in the last episode that a pairing is ending up together or doing a love confession, which is cool.

I also multiship so I like open options. I was kind of pissed when they gave Hawkeye a secret family in MCU. :(

[(Anonymous)]

I had the same thought recently, I get wanting romance. But honestly, Ship Drama made me wish no ship is ever canon ever.

I mean... what's your point? Sailor Moon isn't very good though. It's cute but the writing is extremely cookie cutter. The only reason people come back to it is because the visuals are iconic and 80's nostalgia is still hot.

And who gives a shit if a show is obscure? Kodomo no Omocha is obscure as hell but it's genuinely terrific.

I don't see a problem with this?

I mean, I'd say it's problematic if you go out of your way to be like, "and then this guy, who is totally hairy in canon, suddenly isn't hairy any more cause he's a bottom in this story now" (and equally problematic if suddenly someone canonically less hairy is suddenly covered in ~masculine fur~ cause they're a top now) but if there's no canon on whether he is or not, who cares? You aren't actually feminizing anything?

Besides, more guys keep stuff trimmed than you'd think, just for personal convenience

To be honest I don't think you were particularly unaware or anything, I recently rewatched uuuh S, was it? The season when they first show up? And the whole thing is very subtle, it only becomes extremely obvious the episode they "die".

It would be exactly that. Ugh.

FWIW, I feel exactly this about the blue sites, but Discord is absolutely my favourite new fandom platform since Dreamwidth. It takes some work to find them, and might take some poking around on blue sites to get there (or just on ao3! I've found plenty of discord links on fic!) but it's been completely worth it, for me.

Did you visit before or after Katrina, OP? Because I gotta say, I get the impression that it's a case of two different cities.
