Day 09 - Endgame OTP

Lydia/Stiles )

Enjoy this answer, because it's the last specific, actually pairing-specific answer you're going to get this post.

Day 10 - NonCanon OTP

I swear to god, I could just throw out almost any pairing here because 65% of my pairings are noncanon or ambiguously canon.

Day 11 - Guilty Pleasure OTP

There's so many! Cassie Holmes/Nick Gant, Hannibal King/Abigail Whistler, The Middleman/Wendy Watson, Damian Wayne/Stephanie Brown, Haymitch/Katniss, Jennsen Rahl/Darken Rahl, Mr. Griffith/Olive to name a few. WEIRDLY, THOUGH, I don't think I feel really GUILTY about any of this, because...

Day 12 - Out Of Your Comfort Zone OTP

....fandom has completely decimated my sense of shame and appropriate relationships.

I mean, until I start shipping a pairing that involves two penises, I don't even know what would be out of my comfort zone.

Okay, media update time.

In the area of books, I just finished Marissa Meyer's Cinder, which I loved. It’s a fantastic sci-fi retelling of Cinderella and it ends on a cliff-hanger that made me interested enough in the rest of the series to splurge and get the next two books from B&N.

I watched the first ten minutes of the most recent episode of SHIELDwe love our acronyms )

I loved this week's Brooklyn Nine-Nine.this is a den of liars )

Arrow was actually pretty boring this week, imho.where ever i go, I'm just answering phones )

I read Hawkeye 15, which was SO overhyped, imho.he's just a shape )

On the subject of awesome queer ladies, I just watched the second episode of Bomb Girls. (My goal is to get caught up before the movie airs at the end of March.if you can pour tea, you can pour amatol )

I watched Blade: Trinity entirely so I could have context for [livejournal.com profile] alyse’s Hannibal King/Abigail Whisler’s fanfics, which was an excellent life choice that you should all make.

The parts of Blade Trinity that have to do with Blade are super-boring, and some of the fights are cool but most are look SO unbelievably fake but here is why you should watch it:

Now that's what I call quality storytelling.

YOU GUYS.

I was just lamenting to myself that most of the fic I've read recently has all been very PG, very hand-holdy, very, if-you-get-a-kiss-you're-lucky.

I just finished The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and I loved it. It reads like a pre-Twilight vampire novel, by which I mean, the vampires and vampirism is seductive and monstrous at the same time. So many deliciously fucked up bits of dialogue and prose.

OH MY GOD, STARE AT HER MORE BLATANTLY. TOUCH HER THINGS MORE CURIOUSLY. BASICALLY HAVE TO BE SHOVED OUT OF HER ROOM BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.

I THINK HE'D LIKE TO WARM YOU UP, JANE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, WINK, WINK, NUDGE, NUDGE.

In other news, I realize that I am hardcore fangirling Jane/Rochester, and yes, I am ashamed of myself.

So I'm looking for Shado/Slade fic and imagining that I'm going to have to dig through a couple pages of fics that read like they were written by twelve-year-old to find something good. I go to A03 and:

Screen Shot 2013-11-15 at 11.37.57 PM

IS THIS A CRUEL JOKE? ARE YOU HONESTLY TELLING ME THAT THERE ARE NO SHADO/SLADE FICS ON AO3?

There was a conversation ages ago on tumblr about the age differences between Felicity Smoak and Roy Harper (24-26 to 17) and Felicity Smoak and John Diggle (24-26 to mid-thirties) and how that made some people feel less than okay about shipping them, because that was too much of an age gap, and I was like,


once 000ae2xg


Oh, sweeties. You just sound so young. And new to the ways of fandom.

I feel like some fandom have different ages, you know? And Arrow is young and innocent.

Also, this rule!63 Damian/Stephanie fanart came across my dash:


and oh my god YES.

Give me haughty, violent, half-arab assassin princess x cheerful, indefatigable college guy!

I did not know how desperately I needed this until now.

It’s like five billion of my favorite tropes! Violent girl x emotionally open guy! Older guy/younger girl! Defrosting the ice queen! *makes grabby hands at the universe*

gacked from [livejournal.com profile] portions_forfox:

I think I'm going to reprise a meme from ye ages past, because I'm bored and I like to make fandom-y lists and also, as the title would suggest, I like to ship.

(I'm going to be kind of throwing ships onto these lists, in an attempt to shake things up and maybe mention ships I don't often do. But don't worry, some of my old stand-bys are here.)

ALL THE SHIPS. ALL OF THEM )


So, yeah, come talk to me about these ships.

Ever felt like you should revoke your shipping credentials? Because you like the strangest ships and/or parts of your ship? Well TELL US MORE. Answer the questions with ships you love like burning.*

*I have comparatively few pairing that I could accurately say I ship like burning, so I qualify this as ships that I a.) really like and b.) would be interested in reading and/or writing fanfic about.

Day 16: Most creatively homicidal ship.

Adelle deWitt/Lawrence Dominic

Day 17: The ship that looked like a fairytale but isn't or never was.

Regina/Emma

The queen who walled off her heart; the damaged savior whose power is love.

Never to be allowed to save each other.

Day 18: The ship with the most transference issues.

Simon/Alisha.

I feel that what saves this ship, what makes it fantastic, is that the writers were 100% aware of all the ways in which the characters where in love with slightly different people than the one in front of them; and the ways in which they were drawn and in relationships with the people who were in front of them. Does that make sense?

Also, honorable mention: Steve Rogers/Sharon Carter

Yeah, so, remember how Sharon is dating the guy she grew up watching old videos of and who her aunt dated? And how Sharon and Peggy are drawn to look damn near identical in the comics?

Trope Meme:

Comment with a trope and I’ll give you my opinions on it. You can ask questions (as vague or specific as you like!), talk about examples, etc, etc. Then I’ll ask you about a trope.


 photo tumblr_inline_mhkkfn8hPv1qz4rgp_zps5572264f.gif

And while we're on the subject of tropes, can I just say.... okay, look, I know that 'healing cock' gets a lot of dissing, and I understand why, BUT to be honest, I felt the sex is often pretty pivotal to my enjoyment of hurt/comfort (which I love). Like, after the hurt, I really do want to see boning, or some sexually laden act 90% of the time.

For example, I was reading this pretty decent Clint/Darcy fic in which Darcy had past emotional trauma and I was getting super into it, and there was this total slow burn thing going on, and Darcy was trusting Clint more and more, and Clint was being super-patient and expressing his lust and affection in ways make Darcy feel safe and then.... they hold hands. The end. And I was like, 'BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BONING?'

I've recced The Goat's Back before (Steve Rogers, gen, hurt/comfort) and while that fic is amazing, there was a voice in my head that shrieked, at several points, Natasha Romanoff, get on that. (That being Steve.)
