"in some shows the creators don't even acknowledge some ships"

 You know, sometimes I wonder if that might not have been the better option.

Somebody close to me once stated that it might actually have been better for the Creddiers if Carly and Freddie had never become a couple at all than for iSaved Your Life to have happened.

In her view, iSaved Your Life was probably never what the Creddie shippers wanted. They wanted an actual romance, not endless, superficial kissing. The Creddiers wanted Carly and Freddie to become a couple because they actually wanted to be together, not out of hero worship or some sense of gratitude or obligation.

iSaved Your Life wasn't what the Creddiers wanted. It wasn't even close. But after it happened, the Creddiers were constantly being told that they'd already gotten theirs.

So now, the Creddiers still didn't have the relationship they wanted, but worse, they were being called ungrateful and being made to feel guilty for even hoping for a better relationship to happen.

My brother once noted the irony that many Seddie shippers frequently dismissed Carly and Freddie's relationship as meaningless, and then turned right around and argued that the Creddiers should be grateful just for having it.

Also, people keep talking about all of the "tons" of episodes and moments that the Creddiers have gotten, but apart from iSaved Your Life and possibly the slow dance in ''iSpeed Date" ... Everything else that has happened between Carly and Freddie was either friendship or an unrequited crush, not romance.

I don't see why the Creddie shippers should be expected to be satisfied with Carly and Freddie just being friends, any more than the Seddie shippers would have been happy just with Sam and Freddie becoming friends (which they have long since done).

And the unrequited crush was, at most, buildup to a romance, one that it now looks as if it might never happen at all. Again, I see no reason why the Creddiers should be satisfied with a one-sided crush ... If anything, every time it happened, it would only fuel the Creddiers' desire to see Carly return Freddie's feelings and for the two of them to have an actual romance.

My greatest sympathy for the Creddiers, at the moment, is that they not only never got the romantic relationship they wanted, but they're being made to feel like they should just shut up and be grateful for the non-relationship moments that they've already gotten.
