Why Snowbarry Fans Still Believe Barry and Caitlin Can Make a Great Couple (Part 1)
I hate seeing anti-Snowbarry posts in the Snowbarry tag but I always do coz Tumblr's always bitchin'. I always try to scroll past most of them and try not to read them but one of them caught my eye a while ago. This particular post was not written by a WA fan, it was written by a person that just recently joined the Flash fandom and really didn't understand why Snowbarry fans still ship this pairing even though the show had been propping up WA as the main couple for years. Reading that post gave me a lot to think about and I finally feel it's time to set the record straight.
Tbh, I cannot speak for the whole Fandom but I want to try and speak for a vast majority of Snowbarry fans based on what I've read online and the kind of post many Snowbarry shippers like and reblog.
This post is for all Snowbarry fans and members of the Flash fandom who really don't understand why Snowbarry fans won't give up on this pairing even with the upcoming WA wedding. I will be relying on all the things Barry and Caitlin have done for each other from s01-s04. There will be no use of manips and imagination in this post. I will only present raw facts based on what has been happening in the show.
1. The Way They Notice Stuff About Each Other
Barry can tell when something is bothering Caitlin without being told and vice versa. Their ability to observe and understand each other's feelings without being told is impressive and fascinating. This ability shows how much of a great couple they would make.
2. Mental Synchronization
In many episodes of the Flash, Barry and Caitlin are either talking in sync, finishing each other's sentences or even moving at the same time. Even though a lot of this happens out of mere coincidence, the fact that it can even happen at all says a lot. Seriously, some couples have to go to couples' therapy to learn to achieve even a little bit of the mental synchronization Barry and Caitlin exhibit naturally and that's just one of the many reasons Snowbarry fans still believe this pairing can make a great couple.
3. They Make Quite a Pair
When Barry and Caitlin openly admitted to each other that they make quite the pair, a lot of Flash fans started shipping them. The fact that even the evil versions of them made a hell of a team encouraged their shippers to keep believing they should become a couple since most people believed Caitlin/Killer Frost's loyalty to Savitar was born from her deep connection to Barry.
4. They Help Each Other Face Their Fears
"Fear cuts deeper than swords ..."
I once heard that quote in Game of Thrones and it is so true. Barry and Caitlin have been through many horrifying situations some of which they have overcome on their own and others which they have helped each other overcome. A great couple always helps each other face their fears just as Barry and Caitlin routinely help each other through their darkest times.
5. They Have Fun Together
Great couples always have fun together and spend a lot of time with each other. Many Snowbarry shippers still believe Barry and Caitlin can make a great couple because they spend a lot of time together at STAR labs and since they have a lot of common interests, they usually have a lot of fun together whether they're playing laser tag with Cisco or doing karaoke.
Fact: even though it is not easy to give up your comfort or safety in order to ensure the comfort or safety of another person, if you are doing it for someone you truly care about you won't hesitate. Barry and Caitlin's eagerness to make sacrifices for each other shows how much they truly care about each other and this makes their shippers believe they will make a great couple.
7. They Take Care of Each Other
Both Barry and Caitlin possess a caring nature. Since Barry is a superhero and Caitlin is a doctor, they can frequently showcase how caring they are. Caitlin takes care of Barry a lot, it is even part of her job description to take care of him coz she's his personal physician. Barry and Caitlin have become very close and he is always willing to take care of her, whether he's watching over her as she falls asleep or helping her nurse a hang over.
