Something which occurred to me while going over OUaT clips in preparation for Season 3 (can't wait!) was how fantastic the Zeigen has been in displaying all sorts of different relationships. This is where the tension between the people who ship different people comes from. All the most beliebt ships with Emma are very powerful, very compelling, very attractive story-lines. Going through them all:
Captain Swan: This is a classic story of Liebe redeems all. It's a very powerful thought - that your Liebe for someone can help them and maybe even fix them. The idea that Hook's feelings for Emma can inspire him to put aside a vendetta that has driven him for the past three centuries is very appealing to some people. Especially when Du consider that his quest was driven Von his very powerful Liebe for another woman. If he puts aside his desire for revenge for you, then he's choosing you. He's putting Du and your happiness above his Zurück girlfriend who he was exceptionally devoted to. It means he loves Du the most and, like I sagte before, that's a very powerful thought. Lastly there's the concept that a man can break down your walls; that with him there's no need to worry about being hurt oder abandoned; that he can see how badly you've been hurt and how broken Du are when no-one else can. When people ship Captain Swan, this is what they see.
SwanFire: I'm not a SwanFire shipper so it's Mehr difficult for me to see the nuances to their relationship but the story-line is not without a very attractive message. What I'd imagine draws people to the idea of SwanFire is the long gap between them meeting. That after ten years being apart, and after one of them supposedly moving on, they can still have feelings for each other. The notion that Du can affect someone so deeply that even after ten years they still think of you. That even when they're with another they can't quash their feelings for you. When people ship SwanFire this is what appeals to them.
Swan Queen: schwan Queen is easy, there's the obvious LGBT reason behind it, but there's also the fact that on the surface they can't stand one another. Regina and Emma were at loggerheads for most of the Zeigen so far, the idea that they're in Liebe is, again, very attractive. To think that even if Du fight and Du scream at one another, if you're in Liebe you'll always pull through. Regina has done some horrific things and to think that despite all the terrible things someone can still Liebe her is powerful. It's a case of "there is nothing Du can do to stop me loving you" and "no matter how terrible the things Du do Du are always worthy in my eyes of Liebe and forgiveness". This is why people ship schwan Queen.
So Du see, no matter how much Du get behind one ship there's always going to be someone who doesn't see it oder doesn't find it attractive oder doesn't see the chemistry. Depending on what you, personally, find attractive you're going to find different ships appealing. So lastly, please don't say to someone that they're wrong oder their ship doesn't have chemistry because Du are essentially telling them that their personal preferences/ experiences/ whatever are not real. They may not be real for Du but they are for them. So that's not cool.
Sorry for the rant at the end. xP
