#truth is jacebaela is more of a rarepair even if it is canon but by the looks of it they're acting like it's the love story of the century

I think the Jacela thing annoys me because the people who prop it up as this great love story aren’t even the ones writing fic or doing meta, edits, anything. They just walk to tote it around as the “correct” ship, but they’re not even invested enough to make content 😭 Like so many other things in this fandom, it’s about being right, and not what you actually enjoy.

that's a very good point! why spend so much time high-horsing when you could be producing content for this ship you supposedly love so much? granted, not everyone participating in fandom is a fic writer, but, if it truly is a FLAGSHIP (lol), then it would have already attracted interested writers/artists. if not, well, then it must mean people just don't really care about it as much.

as far as edits go, they couldn't even if it they wanted to, because there was so little content in the show. as for META, i doubt they want to go there because of the uncomfortable implications of rhaenyra stealing the driftmark inheritance from the girls. it's easier to just claim they're a happy family and love each other without any resentment.
