also bc I am Curious: quinntana, shoni, leatin 👀

QUINNTANA

I love the potential of them so much, but Glee absolutely wasted them 😭 Brittana is my fluffy, they're-so-good-for-each-other, they'll-make-each-other-the-happiest, endgame-of-endgames type of ship; Quinntana's my complex-feelings, i-see-the-worst-of-myself-in-you, loving-you-will-give-you-the-keys-to-destroy-me type of ship 🥲🥲🥲 I could see them ending up happy and content with one another, but they have the tendency to feed each other's worst habits so it would take a lot of energy and work to get to that point :') (sometimes it's just fun to think of them self-imploding and later on they reconcile as friends / platonic soulmates)

(I gave them one half-heart because I do ship them, but I also want to put them in a jar and study them; the other half-heart is because the thought of them did drive me crazy at certain times but I'm a lot more chill about them now ahaha)

----------------------------------------

SHONI

Let me explain that I think they're a good ship!!! Great even!!! I'm just not super invested in both their characters, and I think they're more interesting with their platonic relationships with other people? The "mixed feelings" heart is more about how tired I am of the fandom, like The Wilds is a great story with such complex characters, and with Shelby specifically her story about that internalized homophobia, that insane need for perfection and control, and the enormous guilt she carries with her made her so compelling and interesting, meanwhile with Toni her deep-seated anger and abandonment issues were so visceral in a way that I rarely see on TV and I was looking so forward to how they'd unpack it, and then both these took a backseat to their romance? Also like the fandom are so focused on them that my faves like The Reid Sisters, Martha, and Dot are often an afterthought/thought of in relation to the fair-skinned, conventionally attractive sapphics???

Like they would be great as the side couple, but I'm sort of sick of them being the forefront of almost every fan-related content.

LEATIN

Eve. You are so cruel 😭😭😭

(Leatin shippers, please don't be offended I'm so sorry 😭 They're a valid ship and if Dot wasn't in the picture I'd probably appreciate them more)

Sort of the same explanation as Shoni, but I actually actively dislike it because I'm a big Dotin fan and I am forever bitter of the writers going with Leatin. I think Dotin complement each other much more, and I think that they're the best for each other and would make each other the happiest. I literally cannot understand why Fatin would fall in love with Leah instead of Dot HAHAHHA. I also think that their romance would be so easy and chill that they could also focus on their personal growth, and that they'd be able to help each other grow and support each other. (Not that Leatin wouldn't be able to do that but I just think...it would be so much easier for Dotin? It doesn't make Leatin a lesser ship, but Dotin just makes so much more sense to me. The only way I don't see them happening is Dot being straight.) I also actively dislike it because Fatin is my favorite character, and it is literally killing me that the fandom now sees her as Leah's keeper, and with the way most sapphics think about their ships they will try to have Fatin's whole world revolve around Leah. I'm tired of my faves being reduced to their romantic interests. I'd rather her be single and constantly fuck boys but be happy and content with a great relationship with all the rest of the Unsinkables and a healing relationship with her family and her music.
