#but that was transcendent of what the clexa ship by itself was

[singwhenyoucantspeak]

i don't quite understand the criteria of admission for that poll. some of those shows have bigger ships that seem to be missing (clexa for eg)

pretty sure its literally just ships op thinks are classic. probably ships that the people op likes to fandom with liked. also i really dont care about Clexa. i dont mean to be mean but i am cackling that you think there are "admission criteria" in all these poll brackets. theyre all literally just based on personal preference and fandom experience. even the ones that try to be more objective and have people nominate entries for are ultimately still subjectively put together and tbh all the ones that welcomed submissions that ive seen got way out of control cuz theres always going to be something that people think the moderator should have included that they didnt. who cares. i think the "classic" has more to do with the feel of the fandom tho. Clexa fandom definitely felt more like the newer canon ship fandoms than the classic f/f fandoms. in fact i might argue that it was the fandom that began that shift, which is probs why i was never much interested in participating in it. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
