User blog comment:Sockstar1/Creddie fans prepare yourselves for iSeddie/@comment-3122172-20110605212231/@comment-2032682-20110606085328

@RosalieTheBrave The reasons we are down is because we are down. We've watched 4 seasons of the show steadily reduce the amount of Creddie, watched Dan ignore Creddie in his blogs, and watched versions of us Creddie fans on the show be portrayed as crazy shippers who BEAT UP A CHARACTER ON THE SHOW. And now we just watched Sam kiss Freddie. Then we got Dan patronising us and adding Creddie as an afterthought in a blog about "what happens next".

That's why we are down. Because we are down. We are at the lowest of the low points.

@Cameddie It's because of the way the 'ships' have progressed. Creddie has always been on the show, but it had never really moved forward. iSD, iSYL, had progress but inevitably it get reset/never acted on and Dan himself continually advocated Seddie in his blogs and watched a steady progression to the point where it is now one-sided canon on the show itself and there is an ongoing storyline built up around it.

I myself was an advocate for the "Don't give up, Creddiers", that has steadily eroded as the show went on and iSYL and iSD were not followed up with, and Creddie essentially became "invisible" on the show and in Dan's blogs. His recent pandering to us merely made it clear he considers us and afterthought.

My stance is now "Don't give up on liking Creddie, but don't expect it to ever come up on the show again. If you do expect it, prepare to be disappointed. Prepare to be told you are watching the show 'wrong' by Dan and that we should be watching it for Comedy only."

The evidence may change as the season is filmed and aired, but right now Creddie is at it's lowest point ever and may never come back.

There's a time for 'not giving up' and there's a time for realism. This is the time for realism. If you can watch iSeddie and be content with minor hints of Creddie that never lead anywhere or just the usual cute Creddie scenes, or even content with Creddie be killed off sometime during the iSeddie season that's great and I hope you have fun watching it.

@LiSi Yes, Dan can be biased. He could do 24 episodes of iSeddie as the A-Plot. That's his prerogative.

He can be biased on his blogs. He can pander to Creddie. He can do what he likes.

I do not believe I have said he can't do iSeddie.

That doesn't mean I am not allowed to attempt to inform and draw conclusions from his behaviour.
