if youāre comfortable answering, what made you ship cassarian? š
Iām glad you asked! I actually love answering this question. āļøš§Ŗ
When I first started watching the show, I ADORED Varianās crush on Cassandra. I didnāt ship them at the time, though, mostly because I couldnāt see Cass falling for Varian when he got older. But my best friend (who doesnāt even watch the show) said she kind of shipped them, and in my efforts to prove that they couldnāt happen I ended up proving to myself that they could and falling in love with the ship. š
Once I could see them being together in my mind, I started realizing how perfect they are for each other. The similarities in the villainous paths they chose make me feel like they are the only two people who can truly understand each other.
I know a lot of people donāt like the ship because of the age difference, but honestly I think thatās silly. My own parents are 17 years apart, so Iāve never been bothered by larger age gaps. Rapunzel and Eugene, themselves, have nearly the same age gap as Cassarian. A lot more ships in entertainment than people realize have significant age differences, and are canon.
All-in-all, my love for the ship stems from my desire for Varian to be happy. And coming from someone who has been the subject of unrequited crushes, I think Varianās crush could blossom into love and Cass could make him very happy. They could make each other happy. Because they both deserve the world. š
I am trying and failing to make this short. š But Cassarian just completely has my heart. They have brought me so much joy over the past few years, and they gave me inspiration where I had lost it. I donāt know where Iād be without them. š„¹
