people will act like shipping vandertrees is crazy like they’re not a love story in the source material and their s1 dynamic wasn’t 100% a romance set up

God like shut the fuck UP.
So Chris originally pitched vandertrees. They were supposed to be together in s2. They were supposed to take care of Bridget.
Chris says that didn't work out because Alan and Sara's 'chemistry is more mother-son' and I've never heard a more absolute bullshit excuse for 'I didn't develop my main character so when Alan played him as ND read I said oh he's a baby haha' and changed the shows trajectory after the first season. BTW that's from his own mouth, he didn't even know Harry until they got Alan literally when they were already filming the pilot and then he decided Harry was supposed to be an idiot child. Like yeah, that dynamic happened bc you FORCED the child/parent thing later, that never existed in s1. Their interactions after the whole dumber Harry thing are so stiff and miserable, it's not natural the way they were before.
They genuinely won the lottery with two super attractive, talented actors who had immediate chemistry and they shit all over it. And fine don't make it canon, why do they have to be so hostile and weird about it? You're not smarter than shippers, you make a show full of poop jokes.

Finding out that Harry and Asta were originally pitched and planned to be together all the way up to season 2 and 3 but instead scrapped for what the show became kinda leaves me with no emotions at all.

Heather, Harry, and Asta: a love triangle for the birds and why Vandertrees could still happen (let me live in my delusion)
(Sidenote: I know I’m not actively posting about Resident Alien right now, but I am seeing chatter in the tag and I love that there are people getting into this show— it’s not perfect but there’s a lot I love about it despite the choices made by the creators. I’ve certainly seen people talking about Harry and Asta, which is of course one of my favorite things to talk about, along with Harry’s journey! I wanted to write this before the episode tonight so hopefully my thoughts are semi-coherent. I didn’t go back and watch episodes for quotes, so everything is paraphrased.)
It’s been clear since S1 that Harry loves Asta. I think a lot of viewers, myself included, interpreted that as romantic love (I mean, the speech he makes to her at the end of season was a confession of love). But for whatever reason, the creators decided that Harry and Asta were not going to be romantically linked in S2 and since then it’s been “they’re friends” or worse, insinuating that Harry is like her child. (I’m not going to get into a tangent about what they’ve done with Harry’s character, I swear.)
Before Heather, Harry has been romantically linked to other characters: D’Arcy, Isabelle, and Carlyn. These relationships have been mostly one-sided— Harry participates but doesn’t reciprocate, especially emotionally. And because of that, none of those relationships were particularly fulfilling for either partner involved.
With Heather, we are finally seeing a new aspect of Harry: he’s emotionally involved for the first time. Heather herself even admits that his species ‘doesn’t have emotions’ and Harry acknowledges that he’s changed. Hey look at that, growth!! He builds her a nest because he cares and wants to make her comfortable. Personally, the scene at the end, where Heather and Harry embrace in their alien forms, was incredibly striking-- and further drives home that even though Harry is an alien, he's still become human in some ways.
Now, I don’t believe that this is an actual love triangle in any real sense of the word. We have been repeatedly told that Asta doesn’t think of Harry in a romantic way. So when Dan asks Asta if she’s jealous and she says “No. Not like that. (pause) Maybe.” I took that less as a sign that she’s romantically interested in Harry and more of a sign that she’s recognizing that she is ready to be in a romantic relationship again. She's finally ready to move on after the trauma of Jimmy (and even went a date with Joseph and enjoyed it, until it was revealed that he was actually a grey hybrid). She’s jealous of that feeling, the emotional state Harry is in right now, not actually jealous of Harry and Heather’s relationship, at least in the sense of her wanting to be with Harry. And this has been shown over the last season as well, with her finally moving out of her dad's house-- she's finally ready to start living life on her own terms, which could potentially include a romantic partner. It's a really big step for closed off Asta to admit this, especially after the suffering she endured being in an abusive relationship.
So what does this mean for Vandertrees aka why I am completely delusional? WELL. Now we've had both Harry and Asta verbally acknowledge that they are at a point in their lives where romantic relationships are a possibility. Additionally, they both have now done things (Harry wooing Heather, Asta going on a date) that show this as well. Even though they are currently not romantically interested in each other, we know that Harry loves Asta (which he says in the episode itself) and Asta cares for Harry (and indeed, her whole extended family believes they are together, which is what happens when their entire S1 arc was romantic BUT ANYWAY). So theoretically there's a small chance that this could one day lead to Harry and Asta realizing that there are romantic feelings for each other under everything else.
Do I actually think this is the way the show is headed? HahahaHAH no, absolutely not. I recognize my delusion. But do I think you could look at these actions as paving the way for it to happen eventually? Yes, very much so. Unless they backtrack this (always possible with Harry's rollercoaster character growth), this reads to me as both characters taking steps forward to making romantic relationships a real possibility for each of them. Maybe someday that will be together, or maybe not.
I guess at the end of the day, there’s still a small part of me that hopes it happens— even though realistically I know the chance is extremely low. That’s what fandom is for! And I guess one day I’m gonna rewrite this whole thing the way I would want to see it turn out, haha.

I’m so disappointed with Resident Alien. They completely ruined Asta/Harry’s relationship and veered so far from the source material. It’s all stupid poop jokes from a big alien man baby that has no character development and this ‘mother/son’ relationship that nobody wanted.

Dear Resident Alien fans,
If you ship Asta/Harry, you are so valid.

Ok I rewatched it and you're right Asta was likely saying "She was not jealous romantically, but yes she was jealous" by the way she said "Maybe, yes." or whatever
Also I somehow didn't catch that Harry was saying, "I love her like I love you, but not just in my head and in my heart but in my pants!" Which obviously he's never lusted after a woman before so this powerful infatuation and bashful feeling and attraction all at once is new-- though he's had sex before he had never been drawn to someone that way before.
I still think the ship has potential, I don't know that they'll ever pursue it. I'm hearing from long time fans that the cast are always saying it's not romantic which was very different from how me, a new viewer saw what was on screen. But that's ok. Ship what you want, don't like what you don't like, just don't bully each other over it. It ain't worth it.

When it first aired, I thought the way they treated Harry and Asta's relationship in s2 was really cruel and shitty, but I didn't expect even worse. Destroying their bond, forcing a parental relationship along with the flanderized Harry and a mean af Asta, that all really sucked but it didn't ruin what they used to be.
Like never mentioning their bond or even using Sara and Alan in promotion despite being the leads that's weird and a choice, devaluing their bond into something else is a choice too, even Harry's sudden ooc 'I wish I could kill you' after his entire story being about saving her is ridiculous but retconning the crevasse into a sexual assault? For any reason is wtf but especially for laughs?
They fucking hate that relationship, they hate it so much and it's so visceral and for what? They can't even let them be friends, they can't even let them bond like normal people. If it's personal between the two they should just have the characters not interact at all at this point that would be preferable to whatever else they've come up with.

Compliation of Resident Alien memes i’ve created. 
Bonus Alan Tudyk tiddy meme, the Patience Discord Server in a Nutshell, and our thoughts on Chris.
