Ramble about Harvest x Earth x Chico. Numbered of course! This is a chunky one.
Now the good news is from what I've seen, the Ship has been received nicely for the most part. There are some arguments and I suppose I'll be coming at them from a side that supports the ship, mainly just speaking my thoughts. If you don't like the ship that's fine but here's my case for me liking it.
The idea that it was weird for Harvest and Earth to be together because it's a Bloodmoon Variant and Earth Variant being romantically involved. A Bloodmoon Variant and Earth Variant being together is new but like... Nova and Frost are Sun and Moon Variants and unlike TSAMS Sun and Moon who see each other as brothers, these other Variants are romantic, so what's so foreign about Harvest and Earth then? Earth isn't Terra and Harvest isn't Bloodmoon? This is literally a premise of the Shows. That there are near infinite dimensions, near infinite Timelines and countless possibilities. A dimension where a version of Bloodmoon and Earth being with each other isn't that impossible with that premise applied. I see it as Poetic. In one world they hate each other's guts and in the other they love each other. Ironic.
It came out of nowhere on all fronts. The problem there is it didn't, looking back. Harvest was possessive of Earth, and jealous during the Valentine's Day episode. That wasn't just the wind. Now, I agree more could've been done on the Harvest and Chico front but then again, Harvest trained with Chico and Refused to train Night or Lunar. Singled out "The Chicken" plenty. Now that I think about it Earth did seem eager to please when it came to Harvest. Mini Hot take Here! 🔥! Some people who hate on Ships intensely or super hard or have a Bias have some Conveniently placed Amnesia sometimes. Personally if I don't like something when it comes to the Show but want to make a case for it, I'll do a bit of digging. When I make these posts I like going through my memory and if that fails me I watch the Episode over. If I can't make enough of a Case for something, I just accept I don't like this thing. You can just say it's not your cup of tea. Thats fine. The Show isn't demanding you like it. This is just the way the Show is going. Doesn't obligate you to anything you aren't comfortable with shipping as long as you simply just accept the Canon is just that. You can still have Fanfics and AUs. this just so happens to be where the Show went with things.
As for the Parent I saw antagonizing the Show for this Relationship because they watch the Show with their kid, it's not for kids. If you hate what the Writers did that much, click off. Second off, it's FNAF. Try as Marketing might, FNAF and anything Spinning Off it will have more Mature themes and Grotesque, Morbid events. The Cast isn't obligated to stick to what Parents want. It's like thinking TADC is for kids just because of the Colors and Animation. Just because something is Animated or in VRChat definitely doesn't mean it's automatically for kids. Animation literally started with Racist, Hateful and Adult Sexual Innuendos. It's an Artistic form of Expression not always for Kids. They mentioned a Shotgun to the head scene in the Show and like, isn't that your cue to maybe not watch it with your kid? Or what about oh I don't know, the Genocide? The Murderous rogue animatronics? Multiple characters being forced into things without free will? Abusive Parents? I'm just saying. Wild Kratts bro. That shit is the Bomb! Like dude have you seen Martha Speaks!? Or Arthur!? That grapples with mature themes great for Kids! That and as a Parent you kind of have a responsibility to make sure the Content is suitable. It's not the Cast's obligation to do that for you. If you don't like the way the Writing of the Throuple is, fine, but acting pissy isn't necessary.
There is also the whole Harvest needs to develop more. Yes, he does. Small problems though. Becoming better as a person or Character Development doesn't just freeze or become barred because the Character has special connections or Best Friends. In fact, that might be what makes a person or Character strive harder to be better. For the people they care about. Now I'm not saying go into complex things with a ton of issues. But if we waited for all these characters to grow past all their flaws and imperfections we probably wouldn't get Romance at all, no? Earth has violent outbursts, but has that barred her from Chico? Solar has issues with Anger. Did that suddenly bar him from Nebula? Sun has his issues but does that exclude him from wanting to be with someone? If you chase Perfection before allowing yourself to make connections with people, you'll be isolated. Often, isolation makes that issue worse because where is another perspective to give you a new point of view? Where is the person who won't take your crap? Furthermore to develop Harvest more that would mean, most likely, it'd become necessary for him to have more Screen Time. However he has already gobbled up a decent amount. He shows up more than Andromeda. You see him at least once or multiple times in a week. Episodes where for some of them he isn't even the point. Then he'd be getting an unbalanced amount of attention to everyone else. Especially because President Earth has now started returning to her plans for them.
I know that was big, and I'm not the Lawyer for this Ship, but I did want to speak my thoughts. I'm a Yapper at heart, and I love making a Case for some Show matters at complete randomness sometimes.
*I'd also like to tack on I love how Harvest doesn't even say Chico. He says "The Chicken". Like to Harvest, Chico isn't A Chicken, he is THE Chicken. He is the ultimate Chicken of Chickens. Like an epic nickname. It's frying me.
Me at you rn:
