Creddie on the other hand only has 699.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there\u2019s been an undeniable Creddie resurgence following Carly x Freddie becoming canon in the iCarly reboot (2021-2023) leading to a significant amount of new stories going up on sites like Ao3 and Wattpad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a lot to say here. I\u2019m rewatching iCarly right now post-frontal-lobe development and my thoughts have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used to think that Carly and Freddie were meant to be. I mean, after all Freddie was \u201cin love\u201d with Carly since day one and surely, eventually, Carly would see him differently and true love would prevail. But Carly just wasn\u2019t feeling it. She had her own stuff going on, and Freddie was just her buddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mean when you look at the facts, it was <em>Sam <\/em>who kissed him first. Sam and Freddie were each other\u2019s <em>first kiss<\/em>. Sam spent a lot of her time straight up bullying him, but the boy just kept coming back. If you ask me, it looked like Freddie was <em>exactly <\/em>where he wanted to be. So, I flipped on this one team, #Seddie, but it\u2019s definitely a close one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>P.S: I haven\u2019t seen the spinoff yet, so Creddie gets no points from me there. Also, from what I heard Sam isn\u2019t even in the show, so it\u2019s not even a fair fight.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>P.P.S: All these Creddie shippers are feeling so smug because they got what they wanted in the reboot, but I just wanna remind you that Seddie were making out in \u2018Sam and Cat\u2019 so\u2026&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Damon, Elena and Stefan- <em>The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Stelena and Delena fandoms are both pretty big and have loyal fanbases, but how does this break down in fanfic numbers? Well, since we\u2019re talking about the 2010s again, let\u2019s see what was going on <a href=\"http:\/\/fanfic.net\">fanfic.net<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not even close.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delena has<em> <\/em><em>2,069<\/em><em> fics<\/em> and Stelena only has 493. So I fear what I&#8217;m about to say is going to be a very unpopular take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s Stelena for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does chemistry trump healthy habits? I vote NO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of you Delena shippers make me feel crazy. It\u2019s like Damon himself compelled you to forget what an asshole he is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was harassing Vicky and Caroline, indirectly causing Vicky\u2019s death and using his vampire powers to compel Caroline for his own benefit. I mean, come on, he was straight up psychologically fucking with Elena all through season one just because because she looks like his ex, and he hates to see his brother in a happy relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Character development this, character development that, yeah yeah a lot of things happened, the show ran for a long time, but I won\u2019t forget what he did. The north remembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Edward, Jacob and Bella- <em>The Twilight film saga (2008-2012)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I must admit when I saw the movies for the first time at 13 years old, I had tunnel vision for Jacob\u2019s abs. I saw his hair flowing in the wind and his golden skin fighting that weird blue colour grading and I thought- <em>yeah, that\u2019s my guy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That didn\u2019t last though. As the movies came out, it became abundantly clear the Jacob x Bella ship was not setting sail, and when Jacob tried to kiss her BY FORCE<strong> <\/strong>in <em>Eclipse,<\/em> I was officially on the Jacob hate train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also felt hard to even imagine Bella choosing Jacob when she was soooo down bad for Edward. That depression montage when he left Forks was really something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the <a href=\"http:\/\/fanfic.net\">fanfic.net<\/a> data agrees. Edward x Bella are number one with 63,885 stories and Jacob x Bella stories only reach a fraction of that with 11,072.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyways, love triangles suck \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carly, Sam and Freddie- iCarly (2007-2012) Who can forget when #Seddie and #Creddie fans were warring so hard online that even the show had to reference it (season 4 episodes 6 and 7 \u2018iStart a fan war\u2019).
