تقولين “أرى طيفك عندما أغمض عينيَّ”
آه يا عليا .. فأنا أراك دائماً حتى وعيناني مفتوحتان.

He told himself he shouldn't be doing this to the inspector, who was just a clerk in the wrong place and probably wasn't a bad man. The trouble was, the trolls up in the plaza probably weren't bad trolls, and the dwarfs down in the square probably weren't bad dwarfs, either. People who probably weren't bad could kill you.

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight
Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around
Let the seasons begin, it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin, take the big king down

why do you think stevebucky lost that poll? is it because of endgame? recency bias? the other ship being canon?
Most important reason is just this website sucks.
But it's multifaceted.
Biggest bit is just stucky fans are older, probably have migrated off the website, or at least are not engaged in stucky fandom anymore. It's been a while, it happens. Canon said fuck you, get gone, so many did.
But almost equally as big? OFMD people have a victim complex the size of fucking mars and use polls to exercise said victim complex. It's undeserved--they've been called out and mocked for valid reasons--but like... also a WEE bit deserved in the sense that they are THEEEE punching bag because OFMD is so emblematic of so many things people on this website are annoyed with--diversity to pretend to be "inclusive" and "progressive" while the narrative is the opposite, people who think "gay" is a genre, the weird acting style that's camp... but it's intentional and so it's just like... pathetic and theatrical in an annoying way, so it feels more superwholock than it does like... whimsical... the slavery apologism is a big one, can't forget that... the Taika stanning that popped up right when everyone realized he's a. annoying and b. kinda fucked up (the antiblack racism that keeps popping up in his works, the weird affair thing, and now everything going on with this soccer movie).
So... after Black Sails last treated them as a punching bag, showing them what REAL gay piracy is about... I think OFMD people put more stock into voting and therefore mobilize more around polls to be like "SEEE WE ARE THE GAY REP EVERYONE WANTS" when really, they're not, they're more invested in it (like the average person who has ever cared about stucky isn't... really caring about validation at this point), it's newer, and they have more to prove.
Go through the notes on the post and it's just "WOOO WE BEAT THE GAYBAIT" as if their show isn't just... worse gay bait? Like... it invented canon gaybait. That is to say... they baited in people with gayness because it had little else to offer.
It's not good gay rep. It's just... canon.
It's still shit.
And it still has incredibly weak fandom output outside of poll engagement because people are satisfied with the world driest gay kiss.
They fought harder to win the poll because it's the most attention they'll ever get from people with taste.
