#so i kind-of have feelings about this ship okay whatever #it’s a mess by s4 and i don’t think amy and j have enough romantic chemistry tbh but #i always felt like this relationship was about reclaiming something sweet and young that was taken from them both? #like gunn spent his youth looking after his sister and fighting vampires and living on the streets and fred spent most of her twenties as…#a slave in a hell dimension #they’re both ordinary people who’ve been swept up and made darker by it all but in each other they had something that was normal and nice#but then of course they’re not really those versions of themselves and that becomes obvious in season four when things fall apart #and that was inevitable from the beginning #but for a while they got to be silly and cute and fred felt safe with gunn and gunn had someone who loved him the most again #it’s not the kind of relationship that usually gets me but for some reason it does

Well said. It’s a problematic ship but I can see why people love it, and why it felt right for the two of them, for a while.
