Analyzing iCarly Ships: Creddie & Seddie

Today let's talk about the iCarly ships, Creddie & Seddie!

I think I would prefer Seddie if it wasn't so abusive. If Sam had just been teasing Freddie so they started out with a mutual dislike, with both of them slowly becoming nicer to each other, I would have really liked it. But considering that Sam was so physically violent towards him and it never really got addressed, I can't really support it.

So cute seeing Freddie going from the shortest of the trio to being the tallest.

i cant look at sam and freddie’s first kiss the same knowing how uncomfortable jeanette was when they filmed it

[OGseoulite]

Am I the only one that grew up hating the idea of BOTH ships?? Both Creddie & Seddie felt forced and honestly the show would’ve been so much better if they chose to do one option as a love arc but not both. It honestly would’ve been so much better for all of them to remain friends who don’t have romantic feels for the other cause that’s how teen relationships irl works. Just because you have a guy friend doesn’t mean he’s the next candidate to date because you didn’t get your way. Some friends are better off as just that- FRIENDS

[jessicawilliams]

This show is an example of one of those times where neither relationship should have happened.

I liked Sam and Freddie because it did feel more genuine. All the times Carly and Freddie dated at the start was semi forced. Carly wanted someone to dance with and Freddie was willing to give her one. Freddie saved Carly so she felt guilty and wanted to thank him the only way she knew how. For Sam, she tried to avoid it but had to face that she did. But both ships honestly don't work because of how the show worked. The jokes are always centered around violence and weird is funny. I haven't watched it in a while so I'm not sure if I'm right. That's just how I see it, it can never be healthy because the goal and humor of the show doesn't match the characters having a healthy relationship.

I was always a “seddie” fan as a kid even though it wasnt something i cared about too much. creddie has the weird undertones of it not being natural while seddie did.

[lilil]

Creedie in the original show: Please no, anything but that
Creddie in the revival: actually kind of cute

[restingsadface]

as a kid I always hated sam x freddie because sam literally always treated freddie terribly and didn’t even bother to change after they got together. the fact they chose to stay together after failing to improve doesn’t mean they’re meant to be, it just means that freddie is a meek person who’s in an abusive relationship.

like i get that people don’t like carly x freddie because freddie is cringey and a big simp in the early seasons but he was like 12. and i feel like if you’re only option is originally cringey and abusive, originally cringey is the better option

[toMouseHive]

in my head, the weird nickelodeon logic of violence doesn't hold up, so I just kind of ignore that part when I prefer Sam and Freddie. They both clearly liked each other more and had way more chemistry. it felt like the writers just wrote them to fail just because they didn't want anyone in a relationship. in sam and cat, Sam calls Freddie the only man she's ever loved, and to me that solidifies that it was their relationship that was stronger and made more sense. in the reboot, the only reason they made Creddie endgame was because Jenette McCurdy didn't want to return (for good reason), but I would bet that if she were able to return, Seddie would make a comeback because of what Sam said in Sam and Cat. also in my opinion the kiss between Carly and Freddie made zero sense in the season finale. I did enjoy watching Carly and Freddie's relationship blossom in the revival but if Sam was able to be there, I'd prefer Seddie

[Mimiscellaneous]

I’m a fan of complex relationships.
But I definitely prefer a boring ship to a toxic ship. I was 100% team Creddie. Their dynamic was realistic and sweet. I just couldn’t fathom falling for someone who has repeatedly enacted physical violence against you for fun.

[Rjshadow]

I think he was better with Carly in the end. He wants stability, a family, and all the traditional things. Carly was more likely to provide that - not in the original Icarly (where she was a bit shallow and flaky) but definitely in the reboot when she grew up. Sam, on the other hand, is a traveller, very independent, and basically a walking-talking adrenaline rush. It's unlikely that that'll ever change. She would need someone who is more on her level.

[otakunovi]

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that Freddie dated both of them and everyone is okay with that?

[APli]

Personally I agree that the original writers only used the ships for Ratings boost. Both of the ships were weird and had a lot of problems.
The difference feels in how the revival handles the relationship considering they actually developed Creddie way better in much less time even acknowledging how their childhood dynamic wasn't healthy.

[mercuriology]

people like the idea of Seddie more than they like Seddie itself. It came out of nowhere, not to mention you can see many times, Sam GENUINELY detested freddy at times and found him annoying. i honestly wish, they became closer and then slowly started falling for each other, wouldve been a much better development than to have Sam one random day she was in love with Freddie. Even as a couple, they were always fighting and it was terrible. I think the only realitistic thing about their relationship in the show is how incompatible they were as a couple. Also they had to take Carly as their therapist on their dates, because they needed someone to help them solve their issues.

i think Creddie worked better in the new show than it did in the old show. People talk about Carly never loving Freddie, but truth to is, Freddie also used to have some school boy crush on her and followed Carly around like a puppy, which wasn’t exactly Carly’s fault, she wasn’t entitled to have feelings back for him. i like how the new show addressed that they had problems in the original show. i prefer older creddie over old creddie and seddie, frankly they were teenagers with issues.

[misshuntress]

Creddie has such a balanced, supportive relationship now, they have moved past the previous toxicity in their childhood relationship and grown together. It transitioned quite naturally for me into a romantic one. They have similar love languages, wants & desires in a relationship, their personalities compliment each other; Freddie is that grounding force to Carly’s more flighty tendencies e.g It just works for me now that they are adults.

Also even if Sam was in the revival, I don’t think Seddie would have worked mainly because their fulfilment comes from very different sources. Sam values her freedom & independence, and Freddie’s dream is to have that white picket fence life. I could see them not being able to make each other happy in the long run.

as someone who watched tv show while it was airing i would like to point out that there was poll on creddie vs seddie ship on icarly web site. most of the time results were pretty close with seddie always being in lead, and they did end up winning. i remember seddie always being bit more popular but that could be me cause i prefered that ship so i came across it more often.

[ibechuu]

Seddie was by far the most toxic relationship I've ever seen back then on live TV as a kid. Even back then it was obvious that they weren't compatible. Relationships like that in the real world often ends up in messy divorces, arguments, and assault.

[terrance]

I remember liking both ships as a kid when I first initially watched iCarly. And I do think Sam might've been Freddie's first wife a few years after the Sam & Cat episode and before he married Gwen, and before he took an interest in Carly again, but Sam and Freddie may have divorced after a month or two because they both drove each other crazy.

[saffyesperas]

Creddie is better in the reboot because it matured over the years and that they been through a lot together and it would be the start of a deeper and healthier relationship with each other. I can see the point of this relationship. I can ship it in the reboot than the original series.

Seddie was better in Sam and Cat because Sam is less abusive towards Freddie and this is a start for them to be in a healthy relationship as well as deepen their connection. I can see the point of this relationship too. I support this ship in this series as well.

Seddie was not cannon in the reboot because Jennette McCurdy did not want to come back to the show and how she was forced into acting by her mom which was traumatic for her and she is healing and working on herself. That is why the reboot show gave us Creddie. They made a nice nod to Sam in Season 1 of the reboot though.
