I'm working for a little longer than normal today, so a coworker can have the day off, so I'm going to need something to entertain me.

Fandom Tennis Match Meme!

Okay, here's how this is going to work. You comment with a fandom question. I answer it and then ask you a question that has some thematic relevance to the question you asked me.


I feel this meme is always a good choice.

Zuko/Katara, always and forever.

Kitty/Cormac from the Kitty Norville series. Kitty married someone else, it was awful, and I stopped reading the books. Both because I hated the actual canon relationship Kitty was in and because it was clear that the author had deliberately written Kitty and Cormac’s relationship to be shippy as fuck, KNOWN that the readers were going to ship them, and then didn’t do it, just to fuck with her readers.

Carol/Jess, I just want these two ladies to make out. And also be in panels together were Jess is not wearing her horrific costume.

What three pairings would you erase from canon?

Agreed so hard on Zutara. And YES on Carol/Jess.

Sif/Thor. Many times over. I hate that it's entrenched in almost 40 years of comic backstory. I hate that Jane was thrown under the bus for it. I hate that it's just a given in the comics that Sif will one day be one of Thor's wives and bear his children and die no matter how much of a name she makes for herself. I hate that there is no way I can see it happening in the MCU without Sif being made a prize for Thor and Jane being trashed by the narrative for it. I hope I'm wrong. I hope that if they do Sif/Thor in the movies it will surpass my every expectation. Based off the way it is in the comics and what it represents for Sif and Jane? I'm hostile at best.

Hermione/Ron. I don't hate this one as passionately as I was never hugely into HP fandom, aside from brief sprints of interest, but I didn't like Hermione/Ron so much. They have that sitcom coupling of the clever girl and the loveable loser. I wanted more for Hermione.

Anytime I've watched a movie with a love triangle and the female character is in a relationship with a guy I actually like, and then goes on an adventure with an asshole and somehow that asshole represents freedom and is a better option somehow?

Ooooh, I like your answers.
