Happy Wednesday!
I am alive and I hope you all had a good Valentine's Day! The past few weeks have been rough. Actually, it kind of feels like all of January and the first part of February was rough. But things are starting to look up and get back to normal. I know Valentine's Day is behind us, but I couldn't let February pass by without doing a Valentine's Day post.
This is a post for all the OTP's that never ended up together, so if you plan to watch The 100, Teen Wolf, TVD, Angel, and Firefly then skip this post. If you don't mind spoilers or have already watched these then go on ahead. This post is mostly inspired by me still being upset about the whole Bellarke situation on The 100, so be prepared for ranting haha
Caroline and Klaus
This still makes me upset! They had the perfect opportunity to bring Caroline and Klaus together and to make all the Klaroline shippers very happy with the way The Vampire Diaries ended. If Caroline couldn't be with Stefan then the only logical next step is to put her with Klaus. But, of course, that couldn't happen because apparently the writers of TVD and The Originals love making life hard for their viewers with the ending of The Originals. They were such good enemies to lovers and they had both come to a place in their lives where they could finally be happy together, really be together and have a relationship... and then it just didn't happen and it's just really sad.
Isaac and Allison
Look, if Allison couldn't be with Scott then I was all for her and Isaac. I think what time they got together was so cute and they had such great chemistry. It was really surprising, but in a good way. The writers did an excellent job, I think of bringing together two characters you never would have thought would get together and actually making you ship them a lot. But again, TV show writers seem to love to make their viewers really sad because it did not work out for a particular reason that I shall not say. All I'm saying is, I shipped them and they would have been great for each other.
Scott and Allison
I know I just said I love Isaac and Allison, but I still think Allison and Scott shouldn't have broken up. They could have made it work! They were perfect together and so cute... but I also appreciated what the writers either did on purpose or by accident and that is, explore the fact that our first love doesn't tend to be our final love. Their break up gave us a line from Scott's mom that I will always love: you fall in love more than once. But still... they were perfect for each other and it's sad it didn't work out.
Bellamy and Clarke
This ship makes me so mad. Not just because of the way it ended between them (I refuse to believe that season 6 and 7 ever happened), but because the writers clearly sabotaged Bellarke on purpose and refused to give the fans what they wanted. Literally, the characters got engaged in the books and Bob Morley who plays Bellamy and Eliza Taylor who plays Clarke got married in real life! They had such great chemistry on screen. They had such beautiful moments. I like a good platonic relationship between male and female characters, but not them. They should have gotten together at the end. The fact that they never kissed or anything is ridiculous. Go watch that show, see the way they look at each other and tell me that they didn't have tension between them.
Get to like season four or five and tell me they weren't meant to be together and didn't love each other in a more than just friends way. But, I guess I shouldn't expect too much since the show ended so horribly, there was no way they would have gotten together.
Angel and Cordelia
This makes me so sad! I never would have thought, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, that I would ever ship Angel and Cordelia. And then the spin-off show for Angel happened and by the end... I was shipping them so hard! Joss Whedon was absolutely ridiculous for not giving them a happy ending. He really did Cordelia so wrong in so many ways... but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I will admit that I think Buffy is a work of art in every way. The writing, characters, plot, everything is flawless... but Joss Whedon isn't a great person and he has a serious problem about letting characters have happy endings and be together. Apparently, he doesn't like happy couples or happy endings at all with the way he did Spike and Buffy at the end of BTVS and then Angel and Cordelia at the end of Angel. They were just so sweet and Cordelia brought out a softness and a whole different side to Angel than Buffy ever could have.
Inara and Mal
Speaking of Joss Whedon and his sucky writing when it comes to couples... I love Firefly. I really do... but it's extremely frustrating that Inara and Mal never got together, especially if you only watched the show and didn't watch Serenity. They had great history, great chemistry and were so fun to watch on screen and besides Simon and Kaley, I shipped them most of all in the series. After everything they'd been through... they deserved to give it a chance between the two of them.
Anya and Xander
You know what, while I'm at it, I might as well just go ahead and say all the couples in BTVS that drove me nuts and had terrible endings because Joss Whedon can't stand to have any sort of couples in his shows. Makes me wonder if he was channeling some personal life problems in his love life or something because seriously, I can't think of a single couple in any of his shows I've watched that got a happy ending or ended up together. Out of any couple I've seen, Anya and Xander really were perfect for each other. They both had personalities that complimented each other really well and they were so sweet and I feel like Anya and Xander's relationship with her grew him and redeemed him in a lot of ways. But, of course, Whedon couldn't have them be happy...
Kanan and Hera
And, of course, possibly one of the saddest things ever! Kanan and Hera! They kissed like once in the whole show, but since the moment I met them, I shipped them so hard. Their banter was so great and they just had such a great dynamic. Maybe they downplayed any sort of romantic relationship because technically Rebels is a kid's show, but just the way it ended between them was so sad... They had finally admitted their feelings and then it blew up in their faces. Literally.
I know there are probably others I've missed, but I can't remember anyone else. There are quite a few relationships (sadly) that ended in the death of one or the other. Like they did get together, but them one of them died and I'm not sure if that counts or not. If it does then this list could just go on forever (and would be compromised of a lot more couples from the Whedonverse). I'm going more with ships that literally either never happened or that never got a chance to really happen in the first place.
So, yeah... this isn't the typical Valentine love-y post haha This is mostly me being sad and bitter and a lot angry at Whedon for ruining so many great couples. But, I feel they deserve to be mentioned because all of these couples would have been amazing together and deserved happiness.
What are some ships that never sailed that you're still sad about?
