SYLADIN SHIPPERS UNITE! (Full SA Spoilers)

[Ascended Grubberfly He/Him]

I am vehemently against it for the bit, and am actually against it because I find that relationships are kinda hit or miss in media and don’t find a point in making them up.

Kaladin simply needs a supporting friend group, and Syl can be a part of that.

To be fair I don’t necessarily see that as romantic or sexual 
I disagree with the idea that marriage is necessarily the highest form of bond 
I feel like you can have platonic bonds that are significantly deeper than anything romantic 
Or at least on par in a different way 
Feels like that’s how spren-Radiant relationships are 

Yes bars

I guess the main point of my argument is that shipping them feels like you are just shipping them because they are a girl and a boy who are connected deeply, and because they have that connection, 'oh they must be in love'

I hate it when that sort of thing happens.

Well, it looks like a lot of people are vehemently against Syladin. That's okay, but I'm going to ask (not because anyone has done this, but just to be safe) that you guys don't get mad at Syladin shippers. Getting mad at characters is fine, but getting mad at the people is not okay. 

Anyway, for my two cents, beyond what I've already said is: I ship Syladin for the sole reason that I've seen how happy Syl makes Kaladin. There are so many scenes where we see them together and she is his light and I love that. 

Honestly, I would be fine with Syladin not turning out. As long as Kaladin as happy. Also as long as he gets to hunt down Moash and kill him. But that's a minor tangent. 

So uh yeah that's why I ship Syladin. 

Obviously you guys are entitled to your own opinions.

Hmmm yeah no one get mad at people, just their people thoughts

Mmmm but see that sounds like you are saying "you can only be happy in a romantic relationship" or "romantic relationships are just better than platonic ones"

No matter how wrong they are, I will always hold firm to my beliefs.

Fair enough.

Now I need fanfic of Tien and Syl conspiring against Kaladin’s depression.

SYLADIN!

If you're somehow stumbling across this as a new user, and can't figure it out, Syladin is the fan ship of Kaladin and Sylphrena.

And obviously the best one!

...

I don't know what might possibly happen here, but SYLADIN!

Can I just quickly say:

ew!

Okay, I'm not going to debate any further on this topic besides this post, because I do not want this thread to turn into a heated debate about Syladin, when I'm assuming it was intended to just be a place where people could ship Syladin without being hated on. 

I had this whole rebuttal planned out, but then I read through it and decided it was a little too aggressive, so I'll just stick with this: 

Why does me shipping Syladin automatically mean that I think people can only be happy in a romantic relationship? In no way did I say that. I fully support the idea that people can be happy without a romantic relationship. I just want these two characters to end up together.

Welp. Looks like I have more information for the study on what makes certain threads popular.

Perhaps in the future, I should not make a thread for a topic I already know is controversial? *sigh*

*points* Yeah. That.

(Looks like you guys used up my words quota yesterday)

I'm going to stop with this debating now and try and leave in peace.

I'm sorry, but personally, i don't think Kaladin needs to be in a romantic type of relationship

And I don't think he needs  to be in one, but I think he could be happy in one, and if so, he would be most happy with Syl.

But that's just mu opinion. *disappears*

[CoderDrag0n8 He/They]

whatever we've argued too much and I would like this argument to stop before the mods step in so

uhhhh yeah peace out

*ahem*

That scene from my pfp is my all-time favorite scene from WaT as a peak friendship thing. I will absolutely riot if Syladin ever becomes canon.

THAT

thank you Kansas

Hmm. I don't remember what specifically, but I remember some evidence. Ah well.

Looks like I've discovered members of the Anti-Syladin Club.

[GG0z He/Him]

I'm joining the anti syladin club

[Shatter He/Him]

I'll put it like this. Kaladin and Syl are coworkers. Syl is like that coworker who tries to set you up with a date. Kaladin is that guy who doesn't want to be in a relationship.

Even if I wasn't a Syladin shipper, i'd find offence at calling syl and Kaladin's relationship "coworkers".

But I don't want to argue about this anymore.

Huh. I seem to be giving off mixed signals...

Ah well.
