Death of the author? More death of the producer!

Modern television has given us many amazing queer characters and even more beautiful couples (Ian and Mickey from ‘Shameless’, Ray and Kevin from ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’, Arizona and Calli in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, and Sarawat and Tine from ‘2gether The Series’) throughout the years.

However, sometimes, there are characters and even pairings that we all know swing that way but are never acknowledged by the showrunners.

So, with indignation and devotion, join BLTai in rounding up our Top 5 TV pairings that should’ve been canon!

Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale (‘Teen Wolf’)

Who doesn’t know the ever-famous ‘Sterek’ ship that terrorized every teenager during the early 2010s? The pair are known for their electric chemistry seen in their charged banter, flirting, and saving each other as well as their questionable proximity throughout the series.

Just a bit disappointing that they never became a thing. Hello? Derek is an Alpha (wink)… the perfect opportunity was there!

Yoon Jong Woo and Seo Moon Jo (‘Strangers From Hell’)

Ever wonder how a cannibal psychopathic killer and an ordinary naive boy can have the most palpable tension and chemistry? Look no further! Although these two never kissed (boo), it is still worth watching Lee Dong Wook (Moon Jo) try to devour (both metaphorically and literally) Im Si Wan (Jong Woo). You’re welcome.

Chad Danforth and Ryan Evans (‘High School Musical’)

The ship that has garnered a cult following throughout the years, Chad and Ryan have been proclaimed as an honorary gay couple because of their insane homoerotic dance number ‘I don’t dance’ in the TV Musical ‘High School Musical 2’. Although the two shared only a handful of scenes during the trilogy, the consummation of their mating dance in the aforementioned song is enough to ensure they are gay gay gay. No questions asked!

Emma Swan and Regina Mills (‘Once Upon A Time’)

More notably known as ‘SwanQueen’, these two strong women had an intense chemistry felt within the bounds of Storybrooke and beyond. They had the perfect groundwork for the grand enemies-lovers pipeline ever! They were intelligent, cunning, and extremely passionate! They shared a kid!

In our hearts, they are married!

Kim Ga-on and Kang Yo-han (‘The Devil Judge’)

I don’t know about you but these two were nothing but g.a.y! They lived together, tended each other’s wounds, chose each other over everyone else, yearned, pined, ogled, held hands, and most explicit of all… understood each other in a deep level.

Some of the people involved in the show have definitely dropped hints of the two characters’ relationship but because of how taboo homosexuality is in Korea, nothing has been 100% confirmed.

Regardless of how canon or not these ships are, we know they are happy and in love somewhere in an alternate universe!
