>>102025834>It's pretty much canon.Two characters who may or may not have crushes on each other (honestly, Pacifica seems much more invested than Dipper) with some tension isn't really canon. You don't even have one of them coming out and saying it like Dipper did to Wendy. When Dipper and Pacifica see each other after this story at the end, they don't act particularly blushy or even really acknowledge each other.
Look, ship wars and shipping in general really is always retarded, and especially when the characters are just kids who just met. I'm not a big Wendip fan or Candip fan or anything, I'm just saying this isn't even the end of Harry Potter where the author says who all of the characters married and had kids with, triggering said predictable fandom bloodbath.
Padippica is actually my favorite ship if I had to pick something to ship. I love their interactions and think a story about them dating could be fun. But as of the end of the series they don't know each other well and have only had a few positive interactions and mostly negative ones.
Padippicafags here started acting too much like Zutarians as soon as they had a bonding moment, getting pissed off that they didn't kiss in the finale and acting like Alex screwed them on purpose when that's not what the show is about and Pacifica isn't the protagonist despite /co/ wanting her to be. I was just happy that the Wendip vs. Padippica vs. Candip slap fights on here quieted the fuck down. Nobody got married. The show didn't owe fans canonized kids "ending up together." here or in AtLA. I just don't understand the personal investment people have in claiming "official" imaginary relationships especially when it's not a love story or soap opera.
