I’m not trying to troll much but there appears to a disconnect between reality and expectations. People can have preferences but trying to land by saying you’re older now and realize it’s better to ship a Olivia with a trainer murderer than a cheater is weird. Jake was a simp and easily controllable which makes some women feel better about him as a romantic partner. Fitz was cheating on his wife, which made women feel offended for Mellie. In reality Jake is not a viable romantic partner because he is damaged and a murderer. I’ve also seen people suggest that Olivia loved Jake as much as Fitz, when Olivia says in canon that she was never in love with anyone but Fitz and to be honest even the actress dully says Olivia is only vulnerable for Fitz. Kerry is the one who played Olivia, and years later when she no longer has to walk a line to pacify fandom, she fully makes it clear that it was always Fitz. I’ve shipped pairings that I knew was not going to be endgame, primarily because I chase superior chemistry. To be honest this is one of the rare shows where the primary pairing had better chemistry than the second string pairing. I always knew where the story stood though, despite chasing that chemistry (e.g. I shipped Sawyer/Kate on Lost). I never tried to moralize by using lines like “I am wiser,” to cope… submitted by /u/Fit_Marionberry_3878 [link] [comments]
