User blog comment:The Sam Puckett/Seddie/Creddie: Which Was Planned From the Start?/@comment-4123319-20110707213551

OOC: I think by writing on this subject you give fuel to the people who think what Dan planned from the start, and proving it was their ship, gives their ship more value over the other in the fan war. Some people on both the Creddie and Seddie sides sometimes argue about this, and I think it's an argument worthless to have. What value is there in speculating (or even being told by the creator) what ship was planned from the start, if one was in fact prepared for end game? Creddiers saw qualities they liked in Creddie. Seddiers saw qualities they liked in Seddie. They've both had the entire series thus far to hang by any and every moment that gave life to these relationships, and rejoice in those with others who share the same joy. Whether the writers give the characters an on-screen romantic relationship to discover at the end or not, each side has a long series of moments that mean something to them and that they shouldn't value any less because their ship was or wasn't the creator's favorite. If it was always about what romance the creator intended to showcase in their storylines for everyone then us Cam shippers may as well never have existed...but we do. Heck, maybe even Cam is the writers' favorite ship, but they have everything holding them back from writing that into an episode without political uproar. Would it matter? No, Seddie is what was chosen as the explored couple to kick off the new season, and perhaps exist for the rest of the series. We've reached this point, it's happening...and the beginning intentions seem so distant and insignificant now. So I guess all I really have to question here is why anybody thinks the plans at the beginning are some superior validation? Nobody is invalid for enjoying one ship and not another. Taste isn't universal, it's individual.
