Yall ever think about how there’s some trios in fandoms/media that are like all besties but you can’t ship them all together?
Like take Harry potter’s golden trio for example; Ron and hermione is canon, Harry and hermione was almost canon, but Harry and Ron are very rarely seen as a ship (mostly because of their friendship is very sibling-like imo)
In heroes of Olympus, take the lost hero trio; Piper and Jason was, of course, canon (for a bit anyway), and Valgrace is hugely popular as a ship, but you never see a Piper and Leo pairing because, again, very sibling-like friendship (also Piper is gay but case in point)
A final example (and what made me think of this) is charlotte, jasper, and Henry from Henry danger. Charlotte and Henry were the most popular ship, and were inches away from being canon, jasper and Henry were huge in the fandom but never was charlotte shipped with jasper
I just think it’s so interesting how common the combination of “three people that can be shipped in multiple ways, but there’s one ship that just doesn’t work” happens
