Hey, why did you freeze this comment? The replies are transphobic and should be frozen, not the original comment (of which I am not the OP, just a worried third party).

I'm the same way. The best part is the emotional payoff after all the yearning, and I'm less interested in whatever they do after that. Same reason I don’t usually actively ship canon pairings, even if I like them; there's really nothing I need fandom to do about them.

[(Anonymous)]

IA but I think a large part of this for me is a lot of media treats it as though when ships 'get together' it's like 'they're in love and committed forever and have accepted everything about each other, no need to develop this relationship any further.' They all just skip from 'interested' to 'ok, married now, moving on.'

Except some of the most interesting things about ship dynamics is people struggling with issues that come up, how people are in ships vs. how they were before, or figuring out what 'getting together' even means, etc. Those things don't suddenly end because you kissed once, but they sure seem to on TV.

[(Anonymous)]

Likewise, even if it's a ship I really love, I have little to no interest in reading fanfic for them if/once they're canon. It's just not needed for me anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

For me, it depends on how they're written. If there's zero development in their relationship, yeah, I'm out. If the only "development" is that some stupid shit keeps breaking them up, yeah, for the most part I'm out (exception being it's well written and there's an actual good reason for it).

I find it just as bad if the UST is drawn out for way too long that I stop caring about what the pair does.

Skill issue.

I feel the exact opposite in a way. I long to see my OTP canonized and happily together forever, especially if it's depicted well. I can literally watch them be angsty or perfect, it don't matter to me. But only in canon.

I have no interest in reading or writing it in fanfic, though, because I have the real deal on the page/screen. That's a big part of why I don't engage with fanworks about canon couples, whether I ship them or not. It's like, what for? We have cake at home.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, but I'll make an exception sometimes if they're exes and they might/do have hatesex and then break up again.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, and I wish I didn't. Everyone else says will they/won't they is overdone and we need more couples who are couples in canon, and I get it... I just won't be interested.

[(Anonymous)]

My latest canon ship got together in episode 4, and it was an amazing and wild ride after that. I love watching them grow as people and as a couple.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I mostly agree?

For me it's all about sustaining narrative tension. UST, pining, and the angst that comes with pining are a very potent form of narrative tension, IMO, and I fucking love that shit.

But if the narrative finds a way to sustain the tension once my ship gets together, that can be pretty damn delicious, too. Sadly, this kind of narrative pivot is something I mainly see done well in fanfic, and not that often in original fiction.

I'm thinking of things like particularly volatile Enemies To Lovers scenarios, or basically any scenario in which it's morally dubious for them to be together but they're doing it anyway.

Occasionally, if the characterization supports it, you can also use the "Character is really, really repressed" trope as a way of sustaining narrative tension.

Things which DON'T cut it for me when it comes to maintaining narrative tension include: all the normal "figuring out how to be a couple" stuff, "failure to communicate" drama, and pretty much all standard forms of domestic drama. That stuff is narratively boring, IMO. Figuring out how to be a couple and effectively communicate with your partner is vital IRL, but it simply does not have the oomph to sustain narrative tension; not for me.

The amount of anime with extremely explicit violence and less explicit but still uncomfortable levels of sexual fanservice I unknowingly checked out from Blockbuster as a preteen... Content warnings and placement in the appropriate sections for anime was awful back in those days. It was just like "Cartoons? That's for kids, right? Let's put it next to the Disney movies."
