125 OP

(Anonymous) 2009-02-03 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
I used Kingdom Hearts because "why can't they all just get together?" comes up a lot, especially about the three main human characters, but also about others. It's actually not the main fandom I have a problem with this in-- the characters of Kingdom Hearts probably could do this if they wanted to, but I've seen people think that characters with bucketloads of jealousy and self-worth issues, no social experience whatsoever, the inability to trust other people, the inability to see people as people and not things put there for them to manipulate, blah blah blah... could successfully all date each other. I'm not polyamorous myself (and having a group or open relationship would take away what makes a relationship desirable to me) but I know enough about it that it's hard, and that it's not something that'll work for everyone.

With Kingdom Hearts, though, the problem is that they all care about each other so much as friends, that if a romance came into the picture, it would have to be secondary. If Sora and Kairi got together, based on the nature of their friendship, they'd make sure that they still spent a lot of time with Riku and cared about him just as much as they used to. That's just the way the friends ended up at the end of the second game. (I used to ship Riku/Sora pretty hard, but now I think I just want them all to stay friends, and be the central figures of each others lives even if they have romantic relationships with other people.) I think this is the case with a lot of other anime/game nakama, too-- they're a group of friends first, and in that case, I think shipping them all is kind of minimizing friendship.

Not that all OT3s are like this (I wouldn't say I actively ship any, but I think that Liz/Kidd/Patti in Soul Eater is kind of adorable). There's reasons for shipping groups, even if it's not what I'm personally into. I'm just sick of the whole "but they're all such good friends!" argument.
