I think we can all stay assured Jiara is NEVER gonna blow up as a ship in canon, we know just as much as they know that’s THE ship of the show, they’re the couple the fans themselves basically created and have been rooting for throughout the seasons, let’s be real if we go on the OBX tags on social media ALL you can see is Jiara, they’re simply milking it and teasing it as much as they can, rightfully so ‘cause their storyline is the pot of gold of the show so of course the angst probably isn’t over yet (but I mean it’s JJ and Kiara do we expect anything less from them?) and they’re gonna have to navigate through the problems JJ was so worried about this season but I doubt they’re gonna break ‘em up BASICALLY 2 EPISODES LATER.

Alsoooooo considering the way the season ended almost with a taste of a series finale but still full of gaps to fill and a tease, I have this big feeling they got the renewal for s4 mid filming s3 and changed route as they went adjusting the script knowing they had more time to wrap EVERYTHING up, the fact they wrote and shot a kiss for 3x04 but then changed route and postponed it towards the end of the season it’s actually a good sign ‘cause they probably thought “ok, there’s gonna be time for the fans to see more of them as a couple later” and I’m sure they absolutely want that ‘cause again Jiara is the main engagement for the show.

Fully agree that jiara are safe from any long term break up. I feel like the writers have settled on their endgame ships and now they will just continue to explore those dynamics. And honestly, even "break ups" in this show are hardly even that. Look at jarah who go through the fucking ringer every season and then are back together 2 episodes later. Now, I definitely don't want jiara to get the same brand as drama as jarah but I think any issues that pop up to divide jiara would be very short lived.

I don't know how early they heard about renewal (although they had to have been confident) but I definitely think they made a final edit after renewal was confirmed that cut big things like Luke showing up. They either want to save that for next season or they want to be able to go back to the drawing board now they have a guarantee of another season.

And yeah, they are just as obsessed with jiara as we are, exhibit a:
