Thinking about Holloweane and Rowaysa, and how neither couple can fully ever be happy together because of the situations they're trapped in.
Miss Holloway can never fully open up to Duke because of the deal she made. He can never truly know anything about her, and she must always move on to a new identity and start over
But then you have Waysa and Rowena, who are trapped by their own mistakes. They were never able to get to know each other until it was too late, too much had happened, and how are they supposed to trust each other? They can learn to trust each other enough to fight alongside each other but to be together? It's too late.
Both relationships are practically doomed by the narrative. But they still love each other anyway, even when they know they will have to say goodbye. And honestly, I think thats what makes them such good ships. They're both tragic and unavoidable, and every time you watch/read, you just hope this time can turn out differently, and you're left with the hope that one day the writers will let it be different.
