Hmmm IME rivalships are more like "fuck that person I can't stand them because they're so annoyingly good at something that I'M supposed to be the best at" vs. "I dislike this person in a personal sense, have no respect for them, and wouldn't save them if they were on fire"

The latter is more like enemy or antagonist ships to me since characters kind of need a level acknowledgement of another's worthiness in order to see them as a rival even

Do fanfic writers get that respect across or established believably... haha that's a different question

[(Anonymous)]

Anon right below you and yes, you said exactly what I wanted to say. There's a foundational basis of respect there.

lol glad I'm not the only one!

The line is very clear to me between rival vs enemyships, idk. Like "I hate this guy, I don't respect him because he cheats and doesn't deserve the respect others give him, he's a dick and I hope he dies and yet he's sexy" is enemyshipping dynamics, even if they're seen as rivals by people in canon

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, exactly. "I hate this person so much, ugh why is he hot" is enemyshipping. "I hate that this person is so good at what they do/better than me and also sexy" is rivalshipping.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe. But I also feel like a lot of time fandom reads that "rival" dynamic into something that isn't in canon. For example Draco and Harry in Harry Potter. Not characters on equal footing, not much respect there at all.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah I agree, which is why I was like... does fanfic always do it right? Well...... no

Shipping someone with their bully is not rivalshipping if they don't actually consider each other rivals.

[(Anonymous)]

I would consider some iterations of Drarry an enemies ship, but not a rivals ship. I do think Malfoy probably sees Harry as his rival during Hogwarts, but that's not what their dynamic is from Harry's POV at all.
