User blog comment:CreddieLuv4eva/"Is it too late for you to love me?" Analysis Blog/@comment-3101374-20120627103929

I know it took me, like, forever to reply to this, but trust me, I've been reading this blog every day now trying to answer those two questions:

First, are these really palpable pieces of evidence that Freddie still has that "crush" on Carly?

YES. Unless Dan is pulling off a MASSIVE troll (which even HE isn't stupid enough to do... is he...?), this is DEFINITELY the return of the "crush". BUT I think "crush" it not the correct word... see, a crush is based on the fantasy of someone, like, when you see a good-looking person, and go "OH WOW, HOTNESS ALERT" inside your head, but once you actually get to know the person's actual personality, those feelings can all go kaput. However, Freddie was (and is!) Carly's BEST FRIEND. He knows HER - inside out - and althoguh he might find her attractive and "cute", he has feelings for her because of HER, who she is. And I believe that at this point, it isn't a crush anymore - it's love.

Now, one person might say to me "Well, that applies to Sam and Freddie as well. And you say that ISN'T love?". Think about it. Sam and Freddie said it themselves "If we hang out alone for more than an hour we fight about something". Those two just can't live with the other's personality. They don't accept each other for them.

'''Second, what is Dan trying to do here? Is he just trying to generate more fan interest, build up excitement for how the ships will end up? Or is he genuinely trying to tell us that Freddie really does still harbor feelings for Carly? After years of his pumping things up, we know that nobody can trust Dan, least of all Creddiers, because he can't resist trolling his shows' fans to hold their attention. That's why I have little respect left for the man, even if he did bring us these shows in the first place. But he also often includes little things for a reason, that will play a part later on, and you never know when he's doing this.'''

To be honest, after Dan's crappy attitude towards the Creddiers in the past, I'm really conflicted as to how to answer this. I'll just break it down into the key questions inside the big question (what is Dan trying to do here?):

Is he just trying to generate more fan interest, build up excitement for how the ships will end up?

Well, if this was his goal, he's certainly achieved it. Creddie fans are rejoicing, Seddie fans are panicking (and the ones who aren't, in my opinion, need to tone down the confidence a bit), and EVERYONE is just like "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING". Yes, a show is not a show without drama (heck even Dora the Explorer has two-year-old drama "OH NO IT'S SWIPER!"), but could there be a thing as too much drama? Maybe? I really don't know...

Or is he genuinely trying to tell us that Freddie really does still harbour feelings for Carly?

Gawd, I really hope so. XD Well, I guess what I said before, to answer the first question, can also answer this one.

'''After years of his pumping things up, we know that nobody can trust Dan, least of all Creddiers, because he can't resist trolling his shows' fans to hold their attention.

It's the REALLY little thing, the nitpicking, that stops me from just giving up on Dan. Such as "Wanna study for our chemistry test?" That stood out for me. :) Those litt,e little things, THEY are what keeps me holding on.
