Excellent blog. I've been a bit transparent for a day or two because my little brother actually just died. Haven't cried like that since I was a child. I came back today thinking I was just gonna see more negativity than positivity, but this blog alone shattered that notion. Thanks for this.

But to get back on topic, I think you took the words right out of my mouth. I've always had something of a soft spot for Seddie because in retrospect, it kind of looked like it was meant to be. But like I've said a dozen times, I'm a dude, who relates terribly to Freddie. I think he alone was why I continued to watch iCarly after seeing it for the first time. He was this guy who was soooo into this girl for the longest, and try as he might, he could never find that reciprocation. And the one time he did, he finally had her, he knew it may not have been for the right reasons, and he was strong enough to walk away and put her before himself.

Even though I never truly liked iSYL, it was maybe the second or third iCarly episode I'd ever seen. I thought that after being that selfless, Freddie deserved the girl. Initially (I only started watching the show in the summer of 2010), I didn't even see any Seddie at all, because I was wrapped up in the idea of Freddie getting his after only getting the shaft so many times.

But then I found out about the rivalry, and I started looking for Seddie moments, and they were certainly there. Even more so than the Creddie ones, in my opinion. Not long after, the shipping became more about the competition than it did about the show, only because early on who liked Freddie and for whatever reasons was still up in the air in my mind.

But iOMG happened, and I was happy for the Seddiers. Someone had won the debate, and I was glad it was over. But I was still pulling for Creddie and I was like.."Crap. Good for them though." I never minded Seddie, and yes, after iSD Sam's feelings were right there on the wall. But Freddie's weren't, and even in season 4 I thought there moments where he as still into Carly (Being a douche as soon as Adam and Carly were video chatting in iSaWF, and the desperate foot rub offer in iDo). So yeah, the Seddie relationship as it stands today, seemed almost out of nowhere. "When did Freddie start liking Sam?" That was my thought process.

I ship Creddie, and that'll never change. Hope for it is at an all time low, for certain, but I want to wait for the arc (and more importantly, the show) to end before I start judging everything. Right now isn't the time for anyone from any camp to make assumptions and jump ship. If Seddie is how things end, awesome, but it deserves more than it's getting from Dan so far, I think.
