Fandom rant but we have to agree there needs to be more boring couple rep. Screw 'interesting' couples! Screw ‘epic’ couples!

I want to see a couple doing a crossword puzzle together on a Friday night

I wanna see a couple feeding each other popcorn while watching a movie at home

A couple wearing pjs at 8 and staying in just to watch tv!

Boring couplessss >>>

Netsy + Forwood parallels

-Caroline and Nate get out of serious relationships prior to Tyler and Betsy

-their sex lives are highlighted in canon, but we also see that there is more to both pairings than lust

-Matt (who's like a brother to Ty & is Care's ex) and Jay (Nate's best friend & Betsy's brother) didn't approve initially but got over it (we don't talk about the "realization" scene)

-Betsy and Caroline were both 'mean girls' in the beginning while Nate and Tyler weren’t great with women at first

Okay, I really want to change my username to nikkisruncks

[nikkiruncks]

Okay as a benvi fan, I am happy they’re endgame. Overall I love how the show ended.

BUT WHY DOD THE WRITERS FUCK UP FABNEESA FOR A RANDOM IRRELEVANT RELATIONSHIP?! THEY HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL!

[nikkiruncks]

And what if I find glassheart & gwikki parallels? Then what’ll you do?

[nikkiruncks]

Okay, so after watching season 2, it’s safe to say that Gwen and Nikki secretly hanging out alone post-Step By Step is canon, eh :)

Having a case of cute ship syndrome

[nikkiruncks]

One thing I like about S8!Formciotti is that it’s canon and that Eric and Donna sent each other nudes.

[nikkiruncks]

Me going into the Tophzula tag to see my babies:

Me seeing bs about them being "acephobic" & "better as friends" in the Tophzula tag

[nikkiruncks]

I’m a Gwikki stan, but I do really like their het ships

[nikkiruncks]

And what if I say Palex is the femslash version of Zenmasters? Then what?

[nikkiruncks]

Feels weird shipping Klamille knowing what JoMo did irl

[nikkiruncks]

Both just GIVE mom and dad energy to me

[nikkiruncks]

I ship N*ia but the idea of them being Formciotti is laughable to me personally. Aside from being neighbors, that’s where the similarities end.

My current feelings on the T9S ships

I made a list like a year ago but I can’t find it haha. And my opinions have changed a lot so I'm going to be doing an update. If I missed any ships, please let me know!

Jay/Leia - My favorite canon ship out of the newbies. Granted I’m not AS emotionally invested in them as Gwen/Nikki, like to the point of constantly thinking about them and writing for them (which is weird since they might be the ship I make the most edits for haha). I've written so many fucking metas on them it’s not even funny haha (check my #jl meta tag & also my #jled tag). They’re just so pure and cute together and super overhated imo. Love seeing these two young teens in love.

Gwen/Nikki - Otp of otps. They’re my Jackie/Hyde in this show. So much chemistry, enemies (well frenemies) to lovers. Even though I don’t like that the scenes with them lessened post-Step By Step, I still see signs that they’re endgame. I just hope the writers don’t queerbait me and have them be endgame haha. Also check out my #jhgn tag for parallels :)

Gwen/Leia - Even though Gwikki is my heart and soul, I love Geia too and their parallels to Formciotti (check out my #gled tag). Gwen is legit the girl next door and not to mention, besties to lovers! There’s clearly something between them. Imo, I think they’re the most queer coded dynamic on T9S. The idea of them being platonic hurts my soul.

Nikki/Leia - Even though are only a few fans, I couldn’t help but put them. They’re just very cute and I love their scenes in Summer Storm. I think they could been a really cute college romance sort of thing. Also the love triangle trope where both girls ditch the guy for each other is A+.

Jay/Ozzie - I'm putting them here because of Ozzie's reaction to Jay's flirting in the pilot 😂. Same as Nikkeia, I see them as a cute college romance but also lowkey endgame in a universe with Neia & Gwikki/Geia & Niknate as the endgames. Their energy gives me Fez/Kelso (Hannah has a post talking about it and I see tbh). Plus they were GIVING old married couple energy in Summer Storm.

Ozzie/Etienne - Perfect bbs no notes. If someone can make Ozzie smile the way he did in LS, then they’re a keeper. I hope we get to see Etienne in s2.

Jay/Nate - Also my personal Fez/Kelso. To me, they’re just as gay as Gwen/Leia and I wish that was acknowledged more. They’re just so funny and cute. Even though I ship Nate/Leia now, I wish that the triangle was Leia/Jay/Nate instead since Nate is basically in love with Jay. I mean it’s canon that Nate always lets Jay ride shotgun. Plus Nate literally ditched his girlfriend to go with Jay to see a used hot tub. Now you can see that as Nate being a good friend, I see that Nate wanting to hang out with bf and do something fun.

Nate/Leia - Talked about it here. While I still have the same issues with them (giving off plot device, screwing over Nikki, very few scenes of them alone), I realized that that’s moreso on the writing and the way it was executed. But I really love them and want to see more of them in s2.

Nate/Nikki - Had potential early on and some cute moments later, but they ended up being a mini J*lso. 1 & 2
