Jathan - Where do I start?!

     OK. So, everyone knows who Nathan Kress and Jennette McSexy McCurdy are right? Well you should, otherwise I don't know how you got here... Anyway, this blog entry is about their relationship and my thoughts on their friendship.

     Now, first things first. I am not an official Jathan Shipper (as in, I don't want to admit it). I gave up shipping real people a long time ago when Diana Vickers and Eoghan Quigg got very close during the X Factor... Basically, the pap ruined it.
     Anyway, I am sure you know that the Jathan Fan Base is HUGE. Not quite as huge as some fandoms I've seen but Jathan Fans are some dedicated Mother-F***ers. I also think that Jathan fans are the most level-headed Fanboys and Fangirls (mainly girls...?) I have ever seen. And I love this. We all know that Jennette and Nathan hate discussing the subject of Jathan (and I will come back to this later) and the fact that the [majority] of the Jathan fandom respect this, is just phenomenal. I don't actually think I have seen it in any other fandom.
     I am guessing that most of, if not all of the Jathan fans are also Seddiers and/or McCurdians. So they pretty much see every photo ever taken of them together and every video of them together. Whether it be something Jennette posts on Twitter or a [pointless...] video put on youtube by Mr Dan Schneider. And you can be sure that if either one of them is interviewed (either in a magazine or on the radio) it will be on Tumblr within minutes with many Jathan discussions attached.

     So, that was a sum up of the fandom (and what an amazing fandom it is) now on to the opinions of Jennette and Nathan themselves.
     We all know that Nathan has a girlfriend. Madison. And We all fully respect their relationship. They seem incredibly happy and I feel happy that they're happy. I have to admit. when I first saw Nathan and Madison kiss in that Moi Music Video It felt very weird seeing Nathan kiss someone that wasn't Jennette. But after a while I got used to the idea. And I fully accept that Nathan is in a committed relationship with Madison.
    
     Now this is where it gets interesting (at least I hope so...)

     Nathan and Jennette always refer to each other as brother and sister (or if I'm not mistaken, Nathan calls Jennette his sister and Jennette goes along with it...). Now most of the time I see posts on tumblr with gifs of the Seddie kisses and captions saying "You don't kiss your sister like that" Well, my reaction to that is, They are acting. When it comes down to it, they are actors and any well-respected actor can make a kiss look good. (please don't shoot me).
     Now here's a bombshell (or not...) I believe that Jennette has, or has in the past, had feelings for Nathan. But that's when the Acting thing comes in useful. Because then she can cover it up easy. The only flaw in her seemingly flawless plan is the "He's like a brother to me" and I'm pretty sure I have heard her say that. Anyone who has been a teenager will [or should] know that that excuse is way over used. I'm sure most teenagers have used it in their time of being alive. It's a way of trying to stop people asking you about it. Which doesn't seemed to have worked in Nathan and Jennette's case.
     I am seeing a very Willow/Xander relationship with Jennette and Nathan (and that's two blog entries in a row that I have referred to Buffy The Vampire Slayer). And because I believe that Jennette may (or may not) have feelings for Nathan, everytime There is an interaction between Nathan and Madison, I [subconsciously] begin to feel sorry for Jennette.
    
     It is very hard to think of someone who could be good enough for Jennette (that isn't Nathan, of course) I am sure that we all want her to be happy (if you don't then you are no longer allowed near my blog) And once I think about it, I think Nathan is too young for Jennette. Jennette has matured mentally a lot faster (At least I think) than Nathan and currently, that maturity is very noticeable. (once again, don't shoot me)
     What I think we all need to come to terms with is that at this moment in time there isn't a chance of Jathan happening. (This upsets me too...) I also think that we need to stop hating on Madison. I am not saying that everyone does, but I have seen it and I don't like it when people hate on people. Even if it's not to their face (or in this case, twitter profile) It is still wrong.

     I would love to hear your feelings and thoughts on the matter, so please comment.
