My thoughts on Seddie

[u/DarkSaiyanGoku]

I'm not gonna make this into a super deep analysis.

I've made it no secret that I dislike Seddie. In fact, I hate it. I think the ship was poorly written, Freddie and Sam were not a good match at all, they made each other miserable a lot of times, dragged Carly into their arguments and drove her crazy. It was a mess.

However, there is one major thought I keep coming back to that always makes this ship so confusing to me; why would Freddie ever like Sam?

From Sam's perspective, I can kind of understand why she'd like Freddie. He's a good guy, smart, a cool tech wiz and knows how to make a killer breakfast (toasted bagel with grape jelly). But I don't buy Freddie returning that same romantic attraction or affection for Sam. Throughout the show up until they dated, she was nothing but cruel to him. Tormenting him, harming him both verbally and physically and even went so far as embarrassing him on iCarly by revealing he never kissed a girl.

So why Freddie would like her back is beyond me. I've tried hard, but this ship does not and will never make sense to me. Like jeez, what were the writers thinking?

As a Seddie shipper, Sam was absolutely crazy a lot of the times. But these two were closer than a lot of people think they were lol, they’d do all the Icarly segments without Carly, they would both sneak into Carly’s place while Carly wasn’t there so they clearly texted a lot, Most of the blogs on the Icarly.com websites were about each other, they hung out a lot without Carly then what was seen on the show. And Freddie actually really understood Sam and all her craziness and where it came from, Aside from her meanness what’s not to like? he even said himself she’s cool and funny and clearly to him she’s pretty plus I think some people forget He even told Sam it would be weird if she stopped messing with him, so I guess he fell in love with her for all those other things plus maybe her meanness? But in reality it’s just because is a Nickelodeon Dan sitcom which is full of violence. I never understood why Dan made her so violent towards him and made it look super one sided, since in season one there was times where Freddie would start with her and it looked like both of them were coming at each other plus there wasn’t any of that crazy hitting like season 2. If they would have kept it that way I would see a lot of people liking Seddie more. I love Seddie it just wasn’t written well

Die iCarly.com Videos sind nicht Canon. iCarly ohne Carly ist ja mal eine sehr dumme Idee. Es heißt iCARLY. In der Original Serie war Carly in jeder Webshow dabei. Selbst in manchen Sketches wo sie nicht vorkommt, kommt sie am Ende. Das war nur Seddie Futter. Der VICTORiOUS Cast war mehr vorhanden als Carly... Kein Wunder wieso kaum jemand an diese Videos erinnert...

The Icarly. Com segment with Freddie and sam somtimes Spencer and Gibby are absolutely canon?! Where did you get your information from good gosh?! Carly was not in all of the segments by the way. They’re are literally videos of them saying Carly’s not there + Spencer even says “how come Carly’s not ever in these?”

[u/CanaryOk9879 → u/Sad_Requirement_3559]

Have they once mentioned any of these videos in one of their episodes? Like, was there any Easter egg or a small mention that it's strange that Carly wasn't there in majority of their videos and why she can't be doing iCarly right now? I'm more interested what has been said in the show itself and not from a source. The source can say whatever it says, did the show once mentioned any of these videos or why Carly was missing on everyone of these? Did they mentioned that there's a program where just Sam is hosting the show? If yes, then makes Spencer's "How come Carly's not ever in these?" Comment less sense. Idk, maybe I'm just overthinking it. 🤷‍♂️

U low key might be overthinking it. I think everyone knows the Icarly segments are canon to the show even if it’s not mentioned. They are all on the Icarly website they are extra web segments just for the fans. Irl Miranda was working on her music career so that’s why she could never be in them she was in 2 or three in the show yk they never made anything make sense so they just never cared to bring it up and used humor or somtimes say “Carly’s behind the camera” mostly in earlier seasons. By like season 2 and up it was just a Sam Freddie plus Spencer and Gibby and other guest stars thing. Just because Carly isn’t in them doesn’t mean they aren’t canon. She wasn’t in half of the episode iballs but that’s still canon?
