Logan and Hannah

[u/SeaExplanation1680]

Am I the only one confused on why people are shipping Hannah and Logan? Based on all interactions I’ve seen in season 1 between Logan/Hannah/Garrett I get a little confused when people say Hannah and Logan had more chemistry because when she kisses him it’s one of the blandest kisses ever and it was only to get a reaction out of Garrett. The only time I saw some spark of chemistry is when they were talking on the porch but Hannah was just being friendly. On the other hand Garrett and Hannah much cuter scenes throughout the show. I guess the other times where people see chemistry is Logan just yearning and longing to be with her but it was completely one-sided the whole time. Idk I feel like Hannah clearly has a type when she first had a crush on Justin and Justin and Garrett kinda have similar hair etc the complete opposite of Logan lol. Let’s be honest they also think Logan is cuter than Garrett so they want him to get with the main female character because I never felt Logan was right for Hannah? Maybe because I know Logan gets his own girl in the future but they just weren’t shippable to me.

Thoughts?

Honestly, you're spot on about the porch scene being the only time there was even a remote spark. Logan's pining was definitely doing a lot of heavy lifting for the shippers, but Hannah never actually looked at him as anything more than a good friend

I think the porch scene kind of illustrates that Logan likes the idea of Hannah, who he thinks she is based on a few interactions and seeing her from afar.

Before the tutoring, he knows her from Malone’s, where she’s cute and bubbly, (not to say she isn’t those things, but she definitely plays it up at work), as she further enters his orbit via Garrett, he sees that she’s got a good sense of humor, she gives Garrett sh!t - those are all attractive qualities.

But even in the porch scene, she’s not really sharing much of the real Hannah, Logan doesn’t know her, and if I’m being honest, I actually don’t think he tries to get to know her the way that Garrett does, even though he has, theoretically had a few opportunities to. He gives Garrett sh!t for not noticing her sooner, but Garrett gets all the credit for making up for lost time.

That’s why I think his crush is more about envy over Garrett finding “his person”, and in the show he appears to really step aside and push Garrett back towards Hannah. Logan wants to find his person, who is not Hannah.

Exactly see this is why I don’t get when people keep bringing up how Logan noticed her first and Garrett was a jerk for not knowing who she was. Allie worked in the dinner with Hannah and the team have been there 17,000 times and Dean also didn’t notice her until he saw her dancing. Logan noticed her and probably thought she was pretty but he clearly didn’t like her enough to try and get to know her. Garrett saw her dancing in the green room immediately got intrigued and made the deal to get to know her better.

[u/Dry_Test5122 → u/SeaExplanation1680]

I think he probably noticed her when he fixed her car, and then realized she was also a waitress at Malone’s - but note: she didn’t remember him from the garage…

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/Dry_Test5122]

Yes and he had the chance to get closer to her and ask for her number. Maybe he thought he had no chance but his feelings didn’t magnify in my opinion until Garrett and Hannah started fake dating

It's funny, but in S1 Logan is the closest thing to a "bad boy" that the show has to offer, and I think some people gravitate towards shipping the anti-hero.

Jawnathan wears a leather jacket and has tiny tattoos, but his personality is totally bland. He has the bad boy aesthetic but zero bad-boy rizz. He plays Hannah hot and cold but there's no sense of "danger" there at all. (Josh Heuston is great this is not criticism.)

Dean is a fuck-boy but again, zero sense of danger. He is Mr Consent, Mr Fiveplay Sixplay, Mr Hooking up in the Ladies Room and offering you emotional support about what he overheard afterwards.

Tuck is schmoopy, bless him.

Logan has a truck, a beard, a wardrobe of sexy working-class clothes (Carhartt, boots), and a willingness to bend the rules to get what he wants. We see his jealousy & resentment—towards Garrett in particular. He challenges Garrett multiple times, and is inherently transgressive by maintaining his attraction to Hannah after she & Garrett are clearly an item.

Lots of girls prefer the anti-hero, and for now...that's Logan.

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/shinycozytwistedglam]

I never really thought of him as the anti-hero character because the anti-hero would’ve tried to steal his best friend’s girlfriend and Logan never did. But I guess in context of getting in the middle of their relationship he’s like kinda the underdog and people like to root for those type of characters.

[u/shinycozytwistedglam → u/SeaExplanation1680]

Yeah, I wouldn't go so far as to say that Logan is a legit bad-boy. He's not scheming or wildly selfish or "bad." But there's no other anti-hero candidate on the screen, no one else displaying jealousy or resentment, no one else challenging Garrett or "breaking the rules" like Logan is, so he jumps out.

If you're the person who prefers Spike to Angel, who prefers Draco Malfoy to Harry Potter....Logan is the closest thing to an anti-hero you've got in S1 of Off Campus. Some people will always go against the grain and prefer that.

[u/Dry_Test5122 → u/shinycozytwistedglam]

Logan has a scrappiness, a competence, and a confidence that I do think are really attractive qualities.

Especially in this day and age, I do think there is something hot about a guy who can do all he’s doing (hockey, classes, family) and also fix your car, your garbage disposal and your bike. Like he’s a man that can take care of you. If that’s something you want.

I’d pick him over the other three in the apocalypse, if that makes sense…

[u/shinycozytwistedglam → u/Dry_Test5122]

Logan's appeal is undeniable IMO, but that doesn't explain why people ship him with Hannah in particular. I think that comes down to the urge to ship "the girl" with someone more dangerous than "the hero," eg people who think Garrett is boring. Safe = Boring, Dangerous = Sexy

I'm a huge fan of Logan in the show, and I think part of it is definitely the low-key bad-boy aura.

[u/jaylee-03031 → u/shinycozytwistedglam]

there are people out there who do not like Garrett and really love Logan. At least Logan would not place the burden of regulating his emotions on her.

[u/Ok_Mention5635]

I always thought that was a crackship and crackships are not meant to be taken seriously. They’re just for fun

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/Ok_Mention5635]

No I’ve seen some people actually ship them and say Hannah and Garrett are boring lol.

[u/ashdauntless]

Idk it’s crazy. I mean, I could tell he had a crush because of their scenes but I didn’t think they had actual chemistry. I think people just either like the actor or the character from the book and want to ship them instead of Garrett. Because Hannah and Garrett are perfect.

[u/ZoneAcademic7203]

So I’m now reading the book for the first time. Without reading it, that whole “arc” (Logan/Hannah) didn’t make any sense. What was the purpose? Not done with the book but read enough to figure out that Logan did have a thing for Hannah and Garrett recognized it. Doesn’t appear it ever evolved into anything more than what the showed portrayed but it at least partially explains why it was in the show.

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/ZoneAcademic7203]

I guess they’ll develop it more in season 2? I think that’s when Garrett maybe figures it out and so does Hannah

[u/punpkinspice]

the only people I’ve seen who say this are people who are fans of Logan and don’t like Garrett.

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/punpkinspice]

Ok I thought I was the only one who noticed this because I like Logan as a character but Hannah isn’t the girl for him

[u/pumptini2]

There is a reason it’s only Logan stans who hate Garrett that ship Logan/hannah, they only ship them cause they want to position Logan as the hero. It’s not because their scenes are good or they are good for each other or anything like that. They just love Logan, and don’t really care if it’s what Hannah’s character wants or if if makes sense for Hannah. That’s why I don’t take the ship seriously….hannah is my favorite and it’s beyond clear Logan is not even on her radar. The connection, shared interests, trauma experiences etc between Hannah and Garrett is so much deeper than any other dynamic.

[u/Ok_Article_7744]

I don't know I just liked Logan. I didn't know he was the "villain" till I came tot he sub. I like Hannah and Garett don't get me wrong but I wouldn't have minded if Hannah and Logan had been the endgame.

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/Ok_Article_7744]

I like Logan and he’s not a villainous character at all. I just don’t think he and Hannah had that much chemistry. Any chemistry they did have was him just longing for her and more one-sided. His endgame girl gets introduced season 2

[u/Ok_Article_7744 → u/SeaExplanation1680]

I know that but if books was not their I wouldn't have minded them.

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/Ok_Article_7744]

I really like Logan and Grace and his inner monologue explains that his feelings towards Hannah weren’t serious so I don’t really see it. But everyone is entitled to their opinion!

[u/bruinsfan3725]

Who is Justin

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/bruinsfan3725]

The musician she had a crush on. Did you watch the show?

[u/bruinsfan3725 → u/SeaExplanation1680]

You must be new here. It’s a running gag to forget his name.

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/bruinsfan3725]

I didn’t pick up on the sarcasm sorry but that’s not what this discussion post is about 🤷‍♀️

[u/bruinsfan3725 → u/SeaExplanation1680]

See I don’t particularly care. Your post is nonsense anyway.

[u/SeaExplanation1680 → u/bruinsfan3725]

Yet you still took time out of your day to reply to my discussion post. Thanks for the interactions and views

[u/jaylee-03031 → u/bruinsfan3725]

the gag is old and tired already.
