I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO GET THIS QUESTION... I'm heavily ready to answer. So I believe at first I just saw a couple of other people crack-ship them and thought it was pretty silly, mostly since I loved both of them as characters and looked into it with a bit of curiosity. I thought how people perceived them was interesting to some degree (aside from some other perceptions that didn't float my boat the same) and decided to kinda sit on it myself and consider the possibilities. The more I thought about the way I perceived both of them as characters and compared those understandings, the more it spiraled out of control in my mind in the way of how scarily similar their moral compasses are and how they also contradict one another. I've heavily spoken to so many of my close friends about this but I could go on for HOURS about these complexities and that they're both extremely intricate characters who carry a facade overtop of a being that is so deeply damaged inside. One who deeply wishes to be trusted and trusts without second question unless given a reason not to, and one who won't trust and won't let himself be trusted because he's convinced himself he doesn't really deserve it... I could rip my face off! But holy shit I'd be here rambling for hours. They're both caretakers, they're both deeply built off of the experiences that crushed their livelihoods as children and carry the burdens of necessary cruelty. I love them dearly, they're both so genuinely relatable and soul-crushing yet charming individuals. I care a lot about them! With all that in mind, I realized they have so much potential dynamically speaking, albeit friends, enemies, or something a little more (and even further complex) and that's mostly what ended up with me in this situation where I pretty much am sitting on my little strange island where I'm pretty sure the inner machinations of my brain are not understandable from surface perception by other people which is why a lot of people probably wonder why I'm so adamant on this pair... hehe.. SORRY FOR RAMBLING, but I hope this answers it sufficiently.
