I was thinking about John and Rodney's epic gay space love while in the shower this morning, as you do, and wondering why they're so appealing as a ship to such a huge quantity of people. For me, a big part of it is how deep their friendship goes in canon, how a lifetime's worth of loneliness just peels away like so much paint once they find that place with each other and their Lantean family where they can just be themselves - dorky or paranoid or arrogant or frightened or whatever 'themselves' might be at any given moment - and how simple it would be for them to take that friendship and make something more out of it.
But what is it for you (if you ship them) that makes them so appealing to you personally? You know, besides the obvious.
