Okay, I ship Seddie, and usually after episodes I come here and check the Seddie hints to see if there's anything I can use in fanfiction or that I think is legitimate and I missed.
But the last few times, I've read the "hints" and said "...wth."
I mean, they're iffy enough to begin with. But... Seddie food? Seddie pattern?
And the whole purple thing is ridiculous. Because I'm sure the producers, writers, and Dan Schneider plan out carefully how they can insert purple to make Seddie moments. "Oh look! Their backpacks are red and blue! That makes purple! This proves they're in love!'
And then I stumbled across this, which just made me laugh: "Evidence for Spencer supporting Seddie: He [repeatedly] mentions that he likes Freddie's new shirt. The new shirt is blue and red which makes the official Seddie colour, purple." First of all, Spencer was on medication. And had short term memory loss. I really don't think that was code that he approves of Sam and Freddie. And things like Sam and Freddie entering together, or them reaching to pick up food at the same time? Please.
I want Seddie to happen as much as the next shipper. But these hints aren't "hints", just way too thorough, completely stretched out random things that in the grand scheme of things probably don't mean anything.
So, next time you're getting ready to edit the facts on your pairing page, whatever that may be, think about what you're about to write. Is this a real piece of information that could be worthwhile, and genuinely seems to point to this relationship? Or is this just "red n blue nowai purple means luv"?
Let's not be the rabid fans from iStart a Fanwar (which I loved, by the way). Please, clean up our pairings pages.
