For example, if your first "big ship" was Johnlock (poor thing), then you probably don't expect any of your ships to become canon. Two men could literally kiss on screen (ineffable, I know), and you'll still expect them to go through separation and pain the next season, and you're not even sure they'll end up together. You've seen something you thought would be "obviously canon", and were betrayed the worst possible way. You still have trust issues.

Meanwhile, if your first ship was Destiel, you are DETERMINED. No matter how unlikely, or how long it takes, you'd still believe in your ship. It can become canon, you just know it. But you don't trust how the writers will handle it. It will be canon, but... At what cost? You're prepared to choose a fanfic to replace canon in your mind, and to make usage of a generous dose of headcanon.

All this to say that my first ship was Tomitch, or two obscure comedy characters from an obscure french YouTube office comedy show, in an era where homophobia was EXTREMELY rampant in those spheres. I did not believe it would become canon for a SECOND. By season two, they were both engaged to their girlfriends.

Then, season three happened. And the comedy show became increasingly serious, with some drama sprinkled in. And by the end of it, not only is your ship CANON, but they're literally the prophesied lovers from a weird alien cult, and one of the girlfriends comes out as Aro/Ace (kinda, she doesn't outright say it like that).

So yeah.

That's where the bar is.

FRENCHBAVRIL Jour 4 - Clothes Swap

"no.. that's not planned..."

Tom n’était pas un prince charmant, mais il avait bien un dragon à combattre, il le savait. Son dragon à lui ne crachait pas de feu, il crachait des idées noires, il crachait des envies macabres que Tom repoussait de toutes ses forces avec sa petite épée en carton. 

Mitch était comme la bonne fée dans cette histoire. Il trouvait toutes sortes de potions et de stratagèmes pour l’aider à reconquérir la princesse, mais il ne voyait pas le dragon.

Roxanne était la sorcière avec une armure d’acier mais un cœur en fondant au chocolat. Parfois, elle semblait voir le dragon, et elle prenait Tom dans ses bras avec son cœur tout moelleux. La plupart du temps, elle était quand même la sorcière qui aimait faire peur aux villageois.

Stan était le bâtard, celui qui cherchait à attirer l’attention de son père pour pouvoir accéder au rang des prétendants au trône mais qui voulait juste, au fond, que son papounet soit fier de lui. Chris était le malheureux qui avait avalé une potion d’.amour qui ne lui était pas destiné et qui se retrouvait malgré lui à offrir des fleurs à la sorcière. Eux non plus ne voyaient pas le dragon
