When it comes to Seddie vs. Creddie, I think a lot is lost in the nitpicks of what is considered Seddie and what's considered Creddie. I look a both pages, and admittedly, there's a lot of gratuity. You're so focused on the the romantic relationships, that you forget about their friendship. So then [you] nitpick every little touch or glance and mark it up to the Seddie or Creddie romance column, even though I know of no friends who avoid looking at or touching each other. Don't get me wrong, I think there's reasonable speculation, but then there's overkill--a point satirized by Dan in iStart a Fanwar.

I think I might've been a Creddier if Carly and Freddie's dynamic was geared a bit differently. Alas, it wasn't. I, myself, don't focus on nitpick moments (though I think pointing out the reds and blues can be fun,) I find it more important to focus on the plots. If you are to ask me of the prevailing relationship, whether that be romance or friendship, it's obviously Seddie, despite the kiss in iGoodbye. Not because I think Sam and Freddie were made for each other, or that there can no other relationship as perfect as theirs--because it's not perfect--but because the show has focused on their relationship more so than any other relationship. The exception being Cam. To me shipping Creddie as oppose to Seddie is like shipping Sam and Wendy as opposed to Cam. There's just not that much focus on their relationship.

Creddie, to me, is more about the appearance and idea of Carly and Freddie being together than any anchors of their relationship that would suggest romance. Creddie has always been a unilateral pursuit on Freddie's part. That doesn't necessarily mean that their pairing deserves more merit. To me it speaks great volumes for one to fall in love with someone, one once "hated," especially when one party is as emotionally reserved as Sam. And Sam and Freddie are underdogs in their own way which makes it that much more provoking. So it's not about the looks, or the pats on the shoulders, but what Dan's given us. With Seddie, there's something there; with Creddie there's something one wants to be there.
