I don’t ship ANY pairing because it would be good representation. I ship pairings because… well, because I like them and want to see them together, whether in art or fic or on the show itself.
I ship characters because I think they’re cute, or funny, or have a meaningful connection, or because I think they have chemistry, or because those two people are HOT, or because I feel the characters balance each other in wonderful ways or because IDEK I just like the idea of them together.
Whether or not a pairing is good representation is a bonus. It’s an important thing to talk about and something that interests me but it’s not what drives my shipping.
