Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

[(Anonymous)]

Over a third of the fics in that pairing are either by or for one person, and most of the rest are by or for about three other people. Congrats! You to can make people whine about your rarepair by writing dozens of fic and requesting it in every exchange!

Meanwhile the TV show, which has canon wlw and majority f/f fic, has the four main female chars nommed, so I don't really think the lack of f/f in the book fandom this year is down to misogyny.

Firstly, wait, which ship is canon in the show? And secondly, chill, nonny, it's not misogyny, it's just strange when fandom latches onto minor characters like that sometimes.

Do you realize this is Yuletide. Why are you here if you find it weird people are into specific characters in small fandoms? Welcome to the whole point if the exchange.

I think this is about how it's the largest ship in the fandom, nonny, not it being nominated at YT.

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

It's literally the only m/m ship in the fandom, the second place one is Sam/Bucky.

Uh, what?

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

Seconding your what. What????

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

[(Anonymous)]

Right, but sometimes in fandoms where the main characters are eight women, the largest ship isn't m/m.

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

sa

like "duh, of course it's the largest, it's the only m/m ship" is both a) backwards logic (there are probably other m/m options if you just want to bash two male character from canon together) and b) not a fait accompli?

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

I wasn't fostering a well-reasoned argument, I was just amused that Sam/Bucky is second place.

Sometimes in a very small nostalgia fandom with 8 main female characters and no obvious ships there are 64 plausible f/f pairings, many of which are written, a ton of canon het, and one person's weird obsession.

Like I don't disagree that fandom has a problem with bland side character m/m but BSC is a real weird hill to die on for it.

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

DA

Sam/Bucky is second place for what? In what fandom? I just checked the BSC show and The Nevers and don't see any Sam/Bucky. What are you even talking about?

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

[(Anonymous)]

If you go to the BSC book fandom and filter for m/m fic, the second most common m/m ship is Sam/Bucky (with a whole two fics). (It's the book fandom that everybody's wanking about.)

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

[(Anonymous)]

Take that up with fans of those characters and not the fans minding their own business and creating content in their own wank free bubble.

DC

Nonnie, if you genuinely cannot handle “it’s mildly weird that this is the largest ship in the fandom,” a non-canon ship between two ten-year-old background characters might just not be the right ship for you.

Idk, i just recently saw some Tumblr friends squeeing that Claudia was just confirmed gay, but they didn't source it so maybe I'm wrong. (I doubt they'd canonize an MC ship on the show but I believed someone having a coming out storyline.)

Still I think most of the f/f people have moved to the show (as evidenced by my Tumblr friends.)

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

It was Claudia's sister Janine!

Re: Canon Recs - Canon Gay TV Shows

Oh, slightly misremembered! Also yay, i always wanted to be Janine when I grew up! I guess I have the "queer" and the "hiding candy everywhere" down!
