My tier list of ships (+ explanations)
Worst of the Worst: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! Have you seen how shallow Frida acts in the actual show?! Not only does she consistently refuse to put her friends’ needs first, but Hilda and David constantly go above and beyond for her. Hell, every single David/Frida moment in Season 3 was him making a gesture to her, not the other way around. These ships wouldn’t go FIVE SECONDS without her being a prick.
Heck No: They’re supposed to be enemies, end of discussion. The only reason I’m not putting them in Worst of the Worst is because these are just generic “bully turned partner” ships that have no backup.
Indifferent: I’d be fine with Frida or David having a crush on Kaisa IF AND ONLY IF it stays as a “celebrity crush” kinda deal. If we’re talking about teen x adult, then easy no. Apart from that, though… eh? I mean, I wouldn’t be against Kaisa meeting someone because it could be interesting, but I don’t really know how they’d handle it.
Honestly OK: I can sort of see it. Alfur and Bartell constantly act like brothers in the show, and considering how far they’re willing to go to defend each other, I’d be for it. That said, I also feel the execution would be kinda wonky in the wrong hands. Alfur and Adeliene is pretty good, but they’ve only been in one episode together, so… yeah.
YESSS 100% SHIP: Only correct answer. Hilda and David have done way too much for each other to not be that way. Hilda is constantly encouraging David to face his fears and step up for himself, while David is constantly teaching Hilda to be more cautious in life. Their chemistry is absolutely spot on and it absolutely pains me how little their interactions, even platonically, had any focus whatsoever.
