osprey_archerDay 21 - Favorite ship.
Logan/Veronica. This is the only ship I have ever written a manifesto for, because my feelings about the eternal rightness of LoVe are just that strong and will not be swayed by even articles like Femslash Friday: Veronica Mars, which builds an extremely cogent case for Veronica/Mac. I find myself agreeing with all its points - Logan really is kind of a racist jackass, and though it’s particularly pronounced in season one, but it’s not a character trait that ever exactly goes away.
But at the same time: just no. Veronica/Mac might be healthier, but when has Veronica ever valued healthy above, well, any of the other things that are important to her? Veronica and Logan share a darkness that Mac doesn’t have. I could see Logan and Veronica going all Bonnie and Clyde together; I don’t for a minute believe that Mac would agree to go Thelma and Louise with Veronica.
Which might be another point in favor of Veronica/Mac, except Veronica wouldn’t let Mac’s objections stop her anymore than she has ever listened to her father’s, even though she adores and respects him in equal measure. She would just go on her crime spree alone.
Or she would try, anyway. Until Logan showed up and was all, "You look like you could use a partner."
And this is why the movie works so well for me: no matter how bad things are between them, I absolutely believe that they would both drop everything to help each other whenever the chips are down.
