User blog comment:Yanks28/Reasons why I don't like Creddie/@comment-2027677-20110826020552

I think I would support it, generally, if Seddie didn't exist, but I definitely wouldn't be as passionate, and if I wasn't as passionate about Seddie, then, frankly, I wouldn't be as passionate about iCarly. Firstly, because if you took away such a large part of the show, (because for Seddie to not exist at all, you'd basically have to get rid of Sam, which would be HUGE) and it would change iCarly completely, but also because my obsession with Seddie led me to becoming such an obsessive iCarly fan, because while I've been an iCarly fan since it first premiered, I certainly didn't talk about it online or have it consume approximately 40% of my thoughts.

That being said, I'd still watch iCarly if Seddie didn't exist, and I'd support Creddie only because it would be the only plausible endgame. (Sorry, Cam and the other same-sex pairings, but it'll be a few years until Nickelodeon will be as open-minded as us here on the internet) I just don't think Freddie and Carly's interactions are as fun to watch. Fluff fics are fun to read sometimes, but when they're sickeningly sweet ALL THE TIME? Not so much... I don't ship Seddie because it's a love-hate relationship; I ship it because their dynamic is much more interesting and captivates my interest so much more than Freddie and Carly's cutesy relationship. And that's the same with all shows I watch. I like Shawn/Juliet on Psych because it's perfectly adequate, and there's no other pairing that's likely to become endgame, same with Finchel on Glee. I support them because I don't think it's likely that either of them will end up with anyone else, not so much because they interest me. But the pairings I OBSESS over? Well, they’re all pairings not like Sam and Freddie, because there really isn’t a pairing exactly like Sam and Freddie, but they’re all pairings that have the same way of bickering with lots of witty banter like Sam and Freddie. (Tony/Ziva, Kensi/Deeks… etc.) There are lots of good pairings out there, but Seddie is one of the few I can really become passionate about.

So, it’s not that I don’t think Creddie would work, I think it would, but, like you said, Seddie works better, for a TV show, because they bring out different sides of each other, better sides of each other, and lots of character development, which I love. When they’re together, you wonder what’s going on in their heads, what they’re not saying. I can’t really say the same thing about Creddie, though I assume Creddiers feel differently. They’re relationship just seems… self-explanatory, if you know what I mean.

Also, Sam and Freddie are really entertaining, which is reason enough for me.
