You fool! What have you been thinking?! If we ourselves think it to be legit in our hearts, won't that be enough? Things like canon, permaships and even the author's tastes means naught to us for it is our desire to see our favourite girls get together in a holy act of pure gay desire!
Hold yourself together, my comrade! Is it not why we ship these girls, because we desire them to be with each other? Then 'tis the same for them! If they were real, and they wanted to be together, who would they turn to?! 'Tis our job to spread their love so they can be open about themselves, so they can stop suppressing their lust-filled desire with each other! Believe in me, who believes in them, who believes in you!
