The first round of preparations are finally complete, and that means the first round of the Classic Sapphic Ships bracket is almost ready to go! I'll be preparing the polls today and tomorrow to hopefully go live on Friday, and voting time for at least the first two rounds will run for a week.

As I figured she would, Annie (@udaberriwrites) went and tagged me for the other half of my list! You can find the M/M post over here~
**Rules**: Name at least five (but no upper limit) femslash (F/F) ships you love. Each from a different fandom.
1 - Twilight & Life and Death
I'd be quite remiss if I didn't mention the two femslash ships I'm writing right now - Rosalie/Eleanor (Elle) and Alice/Jessamine (Mina)! Like with the slash pairs I'm writing in that world, Carlisle/Beau and Edward/Mike, I didn't ship them at first (despite being the femslash version of canon pairs)... but as I wrote on, I ended up loving them!
2 - Teen Wolf
Well, my undisputed femslash OTP is Allydia (Allison/Lydia), and I love them so much that they inspired how I went about writing the above sapphic vampire ships! Also, I almost chose Teen Wolf instead of Twilight/Life and Death for my worldbuilding concept, and if I had, I'd be writing Allydia and my slash OTP, Steter, right now.
3 - Fire Emblem Three Houses
There are quite a few femslash FE3H ships I love, but my favorite is definitely Edelthea (Edelgard/Dorothea). In fact, three years ago, I started writing a Beauty and the Beast AU and it was supposed to include both Edelthea and Ferdibert (Hubert/Ferdinand) as the main ships, but that plan went bust when I left the fandom soon after >.>
4 - Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Oh, my love, MadoHomu (Kaname Madoka/Akemi Homura)! This pair of tragic lesbians really has my heart. I remember being stuck on them for months after I finished watching the anime... and honestly, I saw the potential for the ship to be written in an even darker manner, though it's not something I found all that often in the fandom.
5 - Ace Attorney
Salty and Momo might be shocked, but I've shipped FranMaya (Franziska von Karma/Maya Fey) for quite a while! They were the second ship I fell into after Narumitsu, in fact... but I will say that Momo's way of writing that pair definitely had me falling more into the pair than I had before! I'm also a major fan of Mia Fey/Lana Skye - there's just something powerful about that duo~
...
Huh... I can't pin out as many similarities between my femslash ships as I could with my slash ships. All those ladies have some dark stuff going on... but unlike with some of the slash ships, the dark and/or ambiguous stuff is more in the surroundings than the dynamic itself.
Oh, but they all have that magic/supernatural component to them! Vampires in #1, werewolves and banshees in #2, magic in #3, magical girl stuff in #4, and spirits and possession in #5, so...
Tagging @axolotlsupremacyowo @alpaca-clouds @sliebman10 @kayedium-writes @tamras-shieldmaiden @aislinnstanaka @mrsmungus and the open tag as always.
Rules: Name at least five (but no upper limit) femslash (F/F) ships you love. Each from a different fandom.
Wow, the best tag game!! Thank you for tagging me @soloorganaas I love it!!
1. Lily/Narcissa (Harry Potter). They’re hot and they should fuck. Everyone please see the best fanart ever for them here!!!
2. Ianthe/Coronabeth (The Locked Tomb). I have never written it and have no recs handy, but I am really into this more-or-less-canonical fucked up twincest f/f ship.
3. Tamar/Nadia (Grishaverse). Look. Their relationship wasn’t compelling in canon and I also have never read a fic with this pairing. But the actresses were hot in the show and I like Tamar a lot. So I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately.
4. Indis/Miriel (Silmarillion). Fuck the (literal) patriarchy! These two are absolutely hooking up after their husband literally is like “I’ll stay dead to make it happen.” Yes. Do, thanks.
5. Bo Katan/the Armorer (Mandalorian). This one is all from scrolling through your feed @soloorganaas but it’s like crack, keep the hits coming please ❤️❤️
Tagging anyone who is multi-fandom and loves femslash!! I would love to see any of my mutuals' answers!!!

I was tagged by @udaberriwrites and @mikaharuka on this fun list game, so here goes nothing! And about that different fandom rule...yeah, I'll have to break it because there's no way I'm not featuring my beloved TLoK ships, so, sorry? not sorry 😅
Korra/Kuvira, The Legend of Korra
The enduring charm of the enemies to friends to lovers trope is exemplified in this ship. And they look great in matching messy hair!
Asami Sato/Kuvira, The Legend of Korra
Why aren't they a canon power couple when the potential is so explosive? 😭
Vex'ahlia Vessar/Keyleth of the Air Ashari, The Legend of Vox Machina
The chemistry between Vex and Kiki is undeniable. Just look at that blush! Kiki you disaster bi!
Striga/Morana, Castlevania
Our resident vampire wives, they're absolutely meant for each other.
Peggy Carter/Natasha Romanov, Marvel's What If
The biggest surprise of What If wasn't Peggy's muscles, but what a good duo she and Nat made, so I ship it!
Tagging @beddi-diver @roguegona @redcatmusings @orangepanic and anyone else who wants to jump in. 😉
Hey rarepair shippers, I'm about to change your lives.
The AO3 Primary Ship Search add-on for Firefox (it's called AO3 First Tag Search for Chrome) adds this little checkbox to the AO3 advanced search page
And if you check the box, the search only returns fics where the pairing you entered is the first one tagged. This is better than the otp:true operator imo because it will show fics with secondary/background pairings too as long as your preferred ship is the main one.
You can even use the add-on in Firefox or Kiwi browser on Android mobile.
i feel like the "this too is yuri" meme is genuinely healing the tumblr fandom ecosystem. i've seen more posts about lesbian ships and wlw memes on this app in since i first saw the meme surface than i have in my entire history of using tumblr. peace and love on planet women
Welcome, himejin! I don't know how active I will be here, but this blog is femslash focused (with focus on animations, but nothing stops me from posting something about movies and shows with real people/actors).
If you wish to interact with me, I respond to the name Toonyu. I am a chill, but passionate, twenty and something person who wants to talk about my favorite wlw ships and characters.
If you don't like something I post here, I recommend you mute the tags — if you still wish to keep following me — or block this acc. I will not respond to hate about things I find joy in and I have no interest in wasting my energy into arguing when I could be writing a meta post.
I am a multi fandom, so don't expect consistency from me. Sometimes I am also a multi shipper and another I am a mono, so I will post about different ships with the same character. If you have a notp about any of my ships, the advice up there is the only warning I give.
If this away, I hope I can find other people who also share the same love I have with femslash.
Place your answer in the tags if it’s none of the above, especially if it’s The Facts of Life, or South of Nowhere, or Sailor Moon, or Skins, or Rizzoli & Isles, or Grey’s Anatomy, or Person of Interest, or Orange is the New Black, or Orphan Black, or Steven Universe, or Agent Carter, or The Bold Type, or Killing Eve, or Captain Marvel, or The Haunting of Bly Manor, or Critical Role, or Warrior Nun, etc. etc. etc. eta: or Legend of Korra, or Wicked, etc. etc.
It was hard to whittle the choices down to 12, okay?
