User blog comment:XxiOMGxx/Why I don't ship Creddie/@comment-4402317-20110909033503

Woot! <- this is the Creddier that asked. That's right --- there are Seddiers and Creddiers that like to have civilized, debates. :D lol

I liked what you had to say, it was very insightful and I do look at Seddie in a new light now( :D), but sadly, I won't sink my Creddie ship. lol

There are a lot of things that I agreed with on here, and I think a lot of the differences between Creddiers and Seddiers is based off of the interpretations of "wanting to be with someone you can get into a real fight with" and the idea of "first loves".

I've found from reading a lot of posts that a lot of Creddiers, including myself, are the ones that value friendships that turn into relationships. (not that that doesnt happen with Seddie, but it's not the main attraction to their relationship). Relating to a Harry Potter post that was on here -- Creddie is a lot like Harry/Hermione, which ironically, I ship. It's kinda funny how it works.

Based off of me and my boyfriend's relationship (who I have been with for 5 years, friends first) I just personally am attracted to that "best-friend/ you get each other and know each other so well that you avoid a lot of arguments because you just want to make the other person happy" relationship, much like the one Creddie represents for Creddiers.

I also am somewhat curious in the average age of Seddie shippers (I don't mean this offensively lol). I've just noticed that most Creddie shippers are older, which is why we lack in the internet department (darn you jobs -_-), and the whole Seddie "excitement" thing is a very stereotypical teenage love interest thing. It would be an interesting thing to look into for psychology purposes. lol

I also would like to mention how you have mentioned Carly perfectly -- the debate and the realistic truth for Creddiers is that we have always been waiting for Carly to fall for Freddie, and who knows, we (as Creddiers) still hope she is one of those that has to go through a lot of frogs before she realizes her prince, the one that has always been there for her.

The only things that I would have to argue about your post are 1.Freddie and Carly do bicker, but not as much or as violently as Seddie. Remember when Freddie and Carly were arguing over their interns, or when Freddie pins Carly on the floor? and 2. I would argue that Freddie does or did really love Carly in a romantic way (and maybe just in a platonic way now). I believe his actions in iSYL are a good representation of that.

But great post! I might write a more detailed on in why I don't ship Seddie and you'll have to tell me what you think. :)
