Now that this whole shebang is almost over, I have more clear thoughts on how I'd feel.
I'm pretty confident for NS, but if it didn't happen afterall...
I'd be bummed for a few days, yeah, but the fandom drama would bother me way, way, way more than my ship not becoming canon. I imagine it would be like it is now...right now people are trolling NaruSaku and NaruSasu because they think NH/SS is confirmed. Well, imagine it'll be worse if they actually did become canon.
I don't understand people wanting to live in a constant state of contention, and it pisses me off to see people practically cyber bullied over this kitten. (Yeah, I swore. Rare for me.) I've said this before, but the Naruto fandom, or at least the pairing fandoms, are no better than the Sonic fandom. ...well, what can I say...people are cruel.=/
Anywho, I'd be happy for the nice people I know who ship NH, I guess. I mean, hey, whether two fictional characters I happen to like get together or not isn't the end of the world. I've had much worse things happen in my life than a favorite ship sinking.
