beckettkatherine asked: Will x Alicia

  • When I started shipping it
    Hmmmmm. It took me a while to get on board this ship, because I’ve always watched the show for Alicia’s story alone, and Will was never always a big part of it until the recent seasons. I feel like Alicia has a lot of things to work through before she is really ready for a relationship with Will. And even when she was together with him, she was a different person not because of him per se, but because it was an act of rebellion, something she was finally doing for herself. So, in a sense, I feel like they both have a long way to go. Omg, I’m so not answering the question.

    I think I started mildly shipping them somewhere in the middle of the first season. I think I loved the effect Alicia has on Will. Will says he likes himself around her, and I think that’s really true. Will is a better person because of Alicia and he always wants to do right by her. The episode they kissed was lovely and exciting for the both of them, but I don’t think I really hard core shipped them until this current season, especially when I saw how carefree Alicia was in the premiere. I think my ultimate ship on the show is Alicia/happiness, and Will is just a nice part of the equation, but not entirely essential, if you see what I mean?

  •  What makes me happy about them
    As I said, I LOVE that Alicia makes Will a better person. Will is SO GOOD TO HER. “My plan is I love you, ok?” I think I loved that Will was willing to let go of their entire relationship because he felt like it was the best thing for Alicia, when he didn’t tell her about the voicemail in season two. He just wants to do right by her, you know? He understands her so well, and is willing to give her up even in season three, when he understands she needs time and less distractions. I think season three has cemented my love for him. He’s just so good to Alicia. This is what I love about the ship.

    On Alicia’s end, again, I feel like she has a lot of things to work through. And she needs to be alone FIRST before she can be with Will PROPERLY, you know? I’m glad the show is taking their relationship in that direction and letting Alicia get through things.

  • What makes me sad about them
    Hmmmm, I think Will loves Alicia a lot, but Alicia doesn’t love him AS MUCH, and that makes me sad. But, again, Alicia needs to reach a certain stage in her life where she’s no longer the good wife, but just Alicia. I feel this is necessary before she really falls in love with Will. Because right now there are so many things she needs to consider, including her children. I think Peter has since become less of a consideration after he went after Will, so I like that. It does make me sad that Alicia isn’t on the same level as Will, but I hope she gets there soon. 

  • Fanfic-related questions
    I haven’t read any TGW fanfics, to be honest. :/  

  • Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other
    Alicia/happiness. I don’t see her with any other guy, but I would just love it if she’s just happy, on her own or otherwise. For Will, oh no, no one else. I think Alicia was always the one for him.  

  • My happily ever after for them
    For Alicia to be divorced and completely rid of Peter, and hopefully transferring to another firm, or somewhere like Legal Aid (I really see her there.) So Alicia and Will can begin a legitimate relationship without any considerations about Peter or boss/employee relations.  Also, for Alicia’s kids to end up LOVING Will. 

  • Who is the big spoon/little spoon
    Hmmm, Will is the big spoon. I don’t know! 

  • What is their favourite non-sexual activity
    Working on a case together, or drinking and just having fun together.
