>>97390718For me personally it was that their original pitch was that they were best friends/rivals until they got into a fight and broke it off, until Finn would get the two of them to hang out and be buddies again. Then came the episode. The one with the Door lord (Most original idea for a villain i've seen yet) and "Im just your problem~" and suddenly that idea of them being "just friends" Changed into "Just more than friends"
Then the shipping happens, then the writers casually drop in a detail that was meant as a joke that the two dated at one point. The pin drops, everyone is silent. THEN IMMEDIATELY A TIDAL WAVE OF FAN ART, FANFICTION, COSPLAY, ETC. RAVAGE THE NET!
It stopped being two former friends making up for lost time, and more about "lets see how gay we can make these two act together in a scene"
Idk about the rest of you anons. But I wish that joke the writers made wasnt taken so seriously.
