Hi everyone, I don't know why I'm doing this, but I felt like I need to speak out my emotion or else I'm gonna have a panic attack worrying about this ship. You don't need to force an argument or debate or anything like that. This is just a simple talk about why I love this ship so much and how I'm connected to it deeply. I'm not trying to force anyone on shipping them nor start a ship war. Just a simple talk, that's all. Please don't hate me. ;~;
Okay.
Every relationship has issues, it's fact. But love is stronger, therefore the two can endure. For me, I love the ship the moment it was introduced. If I were to describe my reaction, I would say I was Charles from Brooklyn nine-nine.
(NINE NINE to you B99 fans)
I mean, Leo Valdez and calypso both been through a lot in their own ways, yet in similarity. Both got hurt, was lonely and felt like third-wheel to everybody. Leo though, he goes far and wide for his friends. What he did for Calypso in HoO, I mean C'mon! He LITERALLY died to save her. Sure it seems too quick to start a relationship (to be fair though, it's a fictional story), but I mean, how far would you go to save a girl from an unbreakable curse? And calypso, poor girl been through enough already. Sure she's a daughter of a titan and joined their side in the first war and almost destroy several relationships in the centuries; but, despite all that and her curse, with Leo, she was being herself, just herself. No curse to make her fall in love, no god to make her let him go, so she was stuck with him with no way out. Until, she got along with him. She saw more and more of Leo's good side. And even though I haven't read ToA yet (I will soon), she probably seen his worse. But if What Reyna said is true, Calypso will accepts him entirely.
Another reason I like this ship is that it reminds me of another one. Though it may not look like it to you (and that's fine), it feels familiar to me.
Tony and Pepper in the MCU
(Btw, Tony, we miss you 3000)
I know, stretching a long one here. But hear me out. Tony and Leo are both… unique. They're smart, cunning, and always finds a way out of their own mess (Most of the time). And both Pepper and Calypso are both dating these two and somehow keeping them in check (Sometimes).
Now, in Civil War, Tony and Pepper broke up (I was devastated) but then got married at Infinity War. Leo and Calypso are going through a rough patch. I mean, if Tony and Pepper can make it work, why can't these two? I mean, Tony fought for a world for Pepper and the people to be safe, only to die to save the Universe. Leo died to save the world AND free Calypso. (I mean… it'd be cool to see Leo make his own Iron-man-like suit, there should be a fanfic on that) Both Leo and Tony died for a future, a future for their family. And even though Leo got lucky and came back, we can't forget how much these two did for their world and family.
I have another reason, but it's a more personal thing. I don't think you guys wanna hear it though. Just some resemblance in my family and felt happy and peaceful with this ship. XD
Now, I'm not gonna lie, it's not my #1 ship (Percabeth btw), but it's definitely right behind it. Like, it's neck-to-neck; both I love so much that I can't pick which I love more.
But anyways, I'm not trying to force anyone's opinion on anyone. You're all free to love whatever you want. I guess I just wrote this to remind myself, and those that also ship Caleo, why we love this ship. I mean, not exactly; we all have different reasons and I understand that.
I hope you enjoy these stories.
