#yes i know all about the cartoon lesbians they're excellent

[reitheist]

I would pay exorbitant amounts to see a live action, adult-oriented show with all the agony, heart, and hilarity of ourgoodshadows surrounding queer women pretty pleaseeeee

#yes i know all about the cartoon lesbians they're excellent #but an explicitly queer show geared toward adults about a sapphic relationship would be nice yknow #theres older shows but they dont really align with the vibe i like #plus im a fan of vamps pirates and demons. sue me. #the only adult woman-centric queer show i know with the same sort of fantastical life-or-death will-they-wont-they vibe is utena #which is excellent but theres only so much utena in the world unfortunately #if anyone has any recs please feel free to share im desperate here #because being a lesbian with my main obsessions almost exclusively surrounding masculine queer expression feels lonely sometimes #dont get me wrong masc queer expression is great! #in fact i tend to relate to it more than femme lesbian stories since im butch/genderfluid/whateverthefuck #i just want a show that examines feminine queerness with the same complexity that o/fmd does #and the women get to try to kill eachother as a treat <3 #tldr; old man yaoi is great but i also if someone did a old woman yuri romcom i would explode on the spot #um. essay over. #personal

14, 16, 24 for shipping ask

14. Has a fanbase ever made you ship or not ship something? Why?

Yes. Both. When I started watching Teen Wolf many many MANY years ago I like many others shipped Sterek (because they had interesting interactions, and because I enjoyed the squabbling, and because I thought it would be funny to see outside reactions). But once the fandom started becoming unbearable by hating on Scott, and on Braeden, and by acting like Stiles was the only interesting character, I kinda... soured on the ship.

Now, with years of distance I'm kinda okay reading a fic or two on occasion. But I also - in the name of my SANITY - first remove from the the search stuff like: Bad Friend Scott McCall, and Bad Alpha Scott McCall, and Scott McCall Bashing.

It removes quite a depressing number of fics.

As for fandoms that have made me START shipping stuff? Well I guess that would be the Supergirl fandom who made me start shipping Supercorp despite the fact that I dropped the show before Lena showed up. The fandom on here kept me well informed about the goings-on of the show and once I started watching a bunch of the scenes between Kara and Lena? Yeah, totally made me go through a bunch of pretty excellent fanfics.

There have also been some shipper fandoms that have pulled me into watching the shows in question but I wouldn't say they necessarily made me start shipping the couple itself (I have just as often not started rooting for the couple that brought me to the story as I've kept shipping it once I truly got to know them).

16. Are there any ships you just can’t/don’t understand? What are they?

There are a lot of ships I dislike, some that I utterly despise. But for the ships that make like... question marks appear above my head as if I'm a cartoon character?

I think that's left specifically to things where someone ships a canonically gay/lesbian character with someone from the opposite sex, or a canonically aromantic character with anyone at all (asexual characters are free game as long as the asexuality gets respected).

Some examples would be the frankly horrifying idea of shipping Clary with Alec from Shadowhunters. Like whyyyyy? Or more recently, the fact that people are shipping Kate Bishop with Yelena *whines pathetically*.

24. What is your favorite canon ship?

Of all time?

Parker and Hardison. Without question. They are my one example of a perfect canon relationship that I couldn't possibly love more than I already do.

They had absolutely beautiful development, they had Hardison respecting Parker's choices. He never pushed, he never acted like Parker's friendship was the lesser option. There were hundreds of little sweet moments that showed just how much Hardison cared about Parker, and just as many moments that showed how Parker cared about Hardison even if it was harder for her to express early on.

And they're simply just so incredibly adorable. Just look at them.

And they're BACK. And I love them so much.
