I wanna talk about Cassarian.

Shipping them when Varian is a minor is WRONG.
Imagining Cass falling in love with Varian when he& #39;s a minor and waiting for him to become an adult to date him is WRONG.
There is a case wherr it& #39;s not WRONG. (see next tweet)
Cass and Varian staying friends and, like, when Varian is 21/22 or something and Cass DOESN& #39;T SEE HIM AS A KID anymore, she develops feelings for him.
If Cass never gets feelings for Varian when he& #39;s a minor and doesn& #39;t see him as a kid when she falls in love, it& #39;s okay. Alsohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">
I see alot of people saying that shipping them, even in this situationhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬆️" title="Upwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Upwards arrow"> is wrong. They say we see a romantic chemistery between them, want to ship them and just age up Varian to make it okay.
Well, no, it& #39;s not like that. Explanationhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">
It& #39;s based on a "what if"
What we think is "Varian has a crush on Cass, aw, that& #39;s cute. Hey, what if Cass returned the feeling years later ?"
We don& #39;t see a romantic chemistery between them as they are in the show. We think they could, maybe, years later, develop one.

We do not support pedophilia. We are not gross monsters.
There are people who ship them when Varian is a minor but, we, majority of the Cassarian shippers, do not agree with tjose people. Those people normalize pedophilia and we do not agree and we find it gross and wrong.

I hope this thread helped you understand the healthy Cassarian ship better and will ease the tensions.
We don& #39;t want to force to ship it or to like it. We would just like you to let us ship it in peace.
I do not wish to argue with anyone so please, no hate.
Have a good day !
Another precision :
We do not imagine Cass falling in love with Varian when he& #39;s a minor and waiting for him to become an adult to start dating.
Neither do we imagine her waiting for him to become an adult to fall in love, like "Varian turned 18 today, I can fall in love now !"https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">
We do not imagine Cass waiting for Varian. She is not waiting.
She is living her life, Varian is her friend, she doesn& #39;t imagine dating him but eventually, she develops feelings.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">
Also, befor you say "But Chris said it was just an innocent crush" "But Cass doesn& #39;t need a lover"
We know that ! We never said it was going to be canon, shipping is for fun !https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">
And before you say "But Cass is a lesbian"
This is a theory, a headcanon.
And even if it were canon that she& #39;s a lesbian : no one complains when people make a straight character gay for a ship so why would the contrary be a problem ?
Oh, to clear any misunderstanding, I& #39;m not homophobic at all and I would have no problem with Cass actually being a lesbian.
Oh, and one more thing.
For those who say "The fact that it& #39;s a cartoon doesn& #39;t make it okay, you wouldn& #39;t say the same thing if it were in real life !"https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">
I& #39;ll have you know that the French president is married to a woman who is way older than him. And they met when he was 15. Everyone in France knows about that and his wife didn& #39;t go to jail.
So, sorry to break your argument but it& #39;s legal.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">
Oh, and something else again.
A guy told me it was horrible because Varian is a child in the show.
Let me tell you that, when thinking of this ship, we do not look at Varian as he is in the show, we look at the adult he will one day be.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">
So, I think I broke all of the Cassarian haters& #39; arguments with this thread.
If you still have other arguments and doubts, reply to this tweet, I& #39;ll explain.
