Morbane's coal

[coalcube]

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

Re: Porn - M/M

It still sort of does! Some people like writing in a big fandom but working with a blank slate of a canon character, and if there are 66 possible background whitebread m/m ships and three possible f/f ones, it's still way more likely that an m/m one will hit the zeitgeist by chance than an f/f one. And if you look at fandoms that are super heavy on f/f and female characters you do sometimes see that with femslash - Mercymorn/Christabel is one of the top ten Locked Tomb f/f ships and Christabel barely appears in canon (though she still has more personality than a lot of the white dudes that happens to...)

But yeah I don't think anything explains more than a fraction of Clint/Coulson except that a significant part of fandom has never questioned their deep focus on very basic white actors.
