fleetsparrow Because what else would you expect for my inaugural post?
Six ships you're into right now:
Four ships you never liked:
Two ships you're curious about, but don't actually ship:
Oh, um, spoilers below, I think? Maybe? I'll even throw in a cut, like I care about your feeds.
Why do you dislike 11 so much?
No solid reason. I have just never seen the appeal. As adults, they don't even get along (which is half writing fault, but still). I've yet to see a fic that makes me ship them.
Who is someone you know who ships 14?
Half the fandom? I mean, it's a big one (tho not as big as Kaiba/Yami Yugi, true), but I don't think I know anyone personally.
What would be your ideal scenario for 3?
BRO, ok so like, my ideal iswhat I'm writing their beginning relationship scene. They would be just casually having dinner (which Sherlock would prepare extra special to make it Perfect) discussing scientific findings and social philosophy (OK, Sherlock would be the one discussing), when suddenly Sherlock would just be like, "SO! As we two understand one another as much as one can understand oneself, we should totally bone". ...Well, mostly like that.
What is your favorite moment for 1?
They have so little in canon, but OK, Rex just jumping into a random bar fight because Andrew is involved, like there's no thought to why just, "My love's in danger; hold my jacket!" Their super sad last scene, as well, where Rex basically says goodbye without saying it and Andrew is like, "Oh...OK, that's fine" before tragedy.
How long have you been following 6?
Since I read Moriarty....what, a year ago? God, that fucking book, it's everything. But like, what if Athelney took up crime to be with Moriarty, or if Moriarty kept his Chase persona to solve crimes with Athelney? My heart.
This is also a ship literally nobody else ships or knows about, so RIP me.
What's the story with 8? What made you stop liking/caring?
OK, so like, this is actually a super old ship, one I shipped way back when I was a wee small, which is why it's faded. I loved the idea of Irene and Sherlock not so much as lovers, but as, like, lowkey nemeses? Most of their interactions are basically them meeting each other in disguise and seeing how long before the other realizes it's them. I stopped shipping it when, well, everything fucking else decided that they were "meant to be!" and "the one that got away" and that bullshit, b/c bro, she just wants to marry her beau, let a bitch live.
And then that fucking Sherlock episode made my last bit of affection for it shrivel up like a frozen boner.
You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from 10 or 13.
I'm gonna have to go with Dick/Barbara, because it's been 35 years, let them move on, for fucks sake. People can be exes and still get along! Even be friends!! Fucking-a, let them date other people.
Which ship do you prefer, 1 or 4?
Oh, fuck you.
They fill two different purposes! I want Rex/Andrew because happy queer pilots are my heart. I want Helena/Dick because they're fucking beautiful together. I can't choose!
What interests you about 15?
I can see it?? Like, right there??? But I feel like, for my taste, I'd need something super specific for Selina/Dick to work.
Why did you stop liking 7?
Young Justice. It was just fucking everywhere, and there is no better way to make me lose interest in something than plastering it all over tumblr.
Did your waning interest in 9 kill your interest in the series?
Scratch that; reverse it. The more shit that comes out, the less interested I am. I can't even think about Bruce/Dick without getting all the new shit into it, which is exactly what's been killing my affection/writing output for it for the last...three years. If I could divorce it in my mind, I'd still be gung ho, but I can't and it's the fucking worst.
What's a song that reminds you of 5?
I don't even know. I don't really have songs for ships? But... OK, I take it back. I do have one...sorta. Basically the whole Ziggy Stardust album? I came up with a bitchin' Kaiba/Jonouchi beginning relationship fic to it (that I've never posted or written, but whatevs).
WAIT, SHIT-- I named a fucking fic for one, omfg. The Rain, The Park, and Other Things by The Cowsills. I wish I could say there's a reason for it, but nah. I just like it for them.
If you could have any two of these pairings double date, who would it be?
THIS IS THE BEST QUESTION EVER because the answer is I would make it a beautifully slightly-awkward triple date between Rex and both Foyles. I have a Thing for characters in a relationship with a parent and child at the same time, and I'm just dying imagining that dinner, like... it'd be amazing. In my head, this would be after the war, when Andrew's returned and he and Rex start relationshipping only to find out that, wait, what, you and my dad?? And Rex is like, ehhhhhh yes? And I still love him??
And then just dinner at home with the weirdest conversation attempts, oh god.
Have 2 kissed yet?
No, because it's in no way near canon. Or even possibly canon.But that won't stop me!
Did 4 have a happy ending?
Uh, no. Because comics are shit.
What would make you start shipping 14?
One good fanfic, probably. I mean, I sorta conditionally ship them, in the future, both mourning over the loss of Other Yugi and older and mellowed. But it's a very...casual? lowkey sort of ship.
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, 2 or 6?
Papa Foyle/Rex, for sure, because it means Rex would be fucking alive.
You have the power to decide the fate of 10. What happens to them?
They finally are able to move on to other relationships and remain stronger friends because of it, because wow, they've tried and failed romantically WAY too many times to dance that one again.
Which do you dislike most?
Still DickBabs, I think, but mostly because canon can't let them fucking live.
Which of these ships do you like most?
Currently, it's the Foyles/Rex, because I need a thousand times more historical queerness, and I just want my sad pilot to be happy, dammit.
Six ships you're into right now:
