I don't have any problems with romantic ships, but I often find platonic friendships in media more interesting. Sure, I'll ship VR-LA and MX-IM, but as friends and research partners, not lovers. As much as I love Stolitz, I'm way more affected by the father-daughter relationships of Blitz and Loona or Stolas and Octavia, and the potential surrogate-sister possibilities of Loona and Octavia. I got so much more mileage out of Elliott's relationships with the other characters in original LEVERAGE than either of the couples.
I will go for the interesting and plausible character dynamic, every time, regardless of whether it's romantic or not. I'm just weird that way, I guess.
Not that it's never romantic. I do wistfully stan Mako and Gamagoori... they could improve each other in so many valuable ways. But I understand why it's not canon.
I guess I just want to make it clear to all the fandoms I may participate in, that if they see me shipping something, it doesn't always mean I'm shipping it romantically.
Olivia's -- and Nix's -- incredulity as she discovers one by one the various shenanigans Open and Shut got up to in Season 1 is a beautiful thing... I am going to miss her reactions at the end of this arc! I hope the next guest player gets similarly surprised...
