It was rushed and shoehorned in. They made it obvious that they just wanted to follow the modern trend of being progressive rather than wanting to create a relationship that makes sense. I'm not against lesbian relationships in any way, but making two characters suddenly lesbian in order to appease the modern progressive community is fucking annoying. That relationship was unfounded and made no sense, so I think its a fucking meaningless peice of shit. Of course everyone just hear the word lesbian and began drooling over the show for being so brave and progressive.
they weren't suddenly lesbian the creators wanted it to happen but nick wouldn't allow it so at the end they basically just said its over anyway lets just make it official
Hey, look, i've never been interested in shipping, and I never will be, but even I have to admit that the signs WERE there.
Had to rewatch to notice them, they're really very subtle - but this is from a kid's channel, after all -- how direct were they supposed to be about it without receiving angry messages from "concerned" parents? You know how it is.
It takes months to produce animated media - when this ending was originally planned over a year ago, they weren't out to please anybody, they were writing a story. And it's a damn fine story.

We need to stop assuming that every relationship that isn't heterosexual exists for the sole purpose of being progressive. It's exactly this kind of mentality that's holding our society back from equality.
