So what you're saying is if you want a good story you use a "random character". But to make it a GREAT story you use a set character(Blossom) to add "shock" for the audience. So we're making it the equivalent of a tabloid story? Whatever, moving on.
1.***More complex and/or interesting than "random character"
What you're doing is using absence of evidence as evidence of absence. The "random character" doesn't exist because the "random character" wouldn't be interesting enough, basically.
We don't even know the character and yet we stick to the claim that Blossom fits the role perfectly because she's not "random". Thats not sane thinking. ALL characters start out seemingly random. ALL characters start out seemingly flat. Its like saying "This story has its own characters? Must be garbage."
No, I'm not saying that OC's are uninteresting. If they're developed well enough, they can be relevant. What I should have said was that canon characters are more relevant to the reader, with less effort. Being a fanfic, the reader is most likely a fan and would know these characters, and care for them. If a character was put in a situation, without ample introduction, the reader would care more if it is a canon character than an OC. It takes more work to make an OC relevant, you can't put them in a story with little development and expect people to care if they survived the next page. Thats a big critic of fanfics today. Loads of OCs with little development.
The writers obviously chose her for a reason. If at the end of the story, Him choosing Blossom has no reason (even the simple fact that shes the leader of his most hated enemies) then you would have a point.

2.***Interesting backstory for Mimi
Blossom is required to make Mimi's backstory interesting how again? Would no one would interested in the development of just Him? He's only the most obscure and cruel villain in the show's entire history.
I didn't say it wouldn't be interesting, I said that it would be more complex without having to justify a character's importance. Being the daughter of Him is interesting, being the daughter of Him and Blossom is more interesting. Thats obvious.

3.***Explanation for Mimi's powers
Having Blossom as a mother explains absolutely nothing about Mimi. What powers does Mimi have that can't be explained by Him? Have you seen her flying, shooting lasers, or freezing things with her breathe? Please direct me to the pages.
Mimi has been hinted at having more powers than we've seen (can't exactly remember where). If the writers gave her a power unrelated with Him, then they can connect it with Blossom. Blossom could have developed more powers through the years.

About Blossom x Him...
Here you have two characters that got into a relationship ending with sex and then a child. Yet they remain exactly the same. The courting changed nothing. The relationship changed nothing. Child birth changed nothing. And lastly, Mimi changed nothing. They're EXACTLY the same. It's as if it never happened. (I'm more focused on Blossom here.) The only proof these two were together is that Mimi exists. Take her out, and say those two were together and then no one could picture it.
YOU CAN'T BE THE SAME PERSON AFTER WILLINGLY HAVING A CHILD WITH YOUR MORTAL ENEMY.
Its not possible to keep your CANON Blossom and CANON Him and still get to keep their FANON child. How inhuman, unrelatable, and unbelievable is to fuck something so sinister it can't say its own name? And then still be able to put on the same stupid face and act every bit as self righteous as if she hadn't? Blossom isn't even ruffed up, not a single hair out of place. How can she stand the sight of him? She's like some fucking lifeless doll and it freaks me the fuck out.
Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup all saw what he would do to Earth without them to protect it. AND YET. She isn't corrupted? Twisted? Changed? No, not at all. She could fuck the ultimate embodiment of evil and feel nothing afterwards. Absolutely indifferent. Did everyone just not care she did? How realistic is that?
There's no aftermath, no dust that needs to settle, nothing. Apparently Blossom's morel's were bent far enough for her to fuck Him but not enough for her character to break canon? How does that make any sense?
True, alot of changes would have to have happened after that. But we've haven't exactly seen Blossom enough to actually assume that she's normal, indifferent to their past copulation. She swooped in, saved Mimi, watched two heroes sacrifice themselves, and then got seized by Him. She
barely spoke, let alone interacted with Him. Maybe this is intentional, saving the backstory if we go farther into Mimi's past. We don't have evidence that shes the same as she was when she was a child (which is the only time we've seen her). We're also assuming Blossom stayed stagnant this whole time. That she hasn't had some development after whatever happened. She could have come to terms about it and become determined to protect her daughter despite who her father is. Hell, we don't even know if it was a normal birth. It could've happened Virgin Mary style. Then again the writers might not want to focus on that, but more on the reason
why Blossom had Mimi. Blossom isn't the focus of the story (so far).
As for Him, I don't see why he would be much different. Unless he had actually fallen in love with Blossom (which I doubt highly), he did this for evil intentions. And that's how he's acted so far, evil. Comparing him to what we've seen of him before, he's even more evil.

Being a set character doesn't always mean the ideal character. There is nothing that makes a "random character" 's story immediately weaker than a set character. Every character you meet is seemingly random and seemingly flat to begin with.
No one is saying thats its ideal, but its more convenient than having to construct a character interesting enough in the long run. We're asking why people do it, right? Not why its better than any original character. The official stories make the canon characters interesting to the reader before they even read the fan story. Their like of an official character is subjective. The problem after that is if the author writes them out of character without any reason. An OC is flat in their eyes from the start.
Oh and another reason why people pair up canon characters (one I should have remembered because its the most prevalent one), is because of shipping. Its the author's favorite pairing, being canon or not. Some stories I've seen dwelve into it. Others start off with them already having a child.
, and Keeper of the Jar Brain of Secret President. 
The Bleedman Wiki even tries to suggest Blossom and Him were married at some point.
