#(there is another thing here about this fandom having a need for femslash shippers to be this ultimate irration fan boogy man

[wavebiders]

I know I should really stay out of the discourse, but I gotta say it feels weird how I've seen multiple posts talking about how hard it is to like Imogen while acknowledging her flaws, meanwhile I've had to scroll past dozens upon dozens of posts(some of them from the same people saying this about Imogen!!!) crying about Orym being demonized because somebody dared suggest that maybe one of his actions was a dick move

Additional information about me and my blog 📝

Hi! 🤗 I could have written this post earlier, but I thought that there is no better time than now! After all, people began to be interested in me and they may not have enough information from the main block (and I don’t want to overload it)… So, let's get acquainted!

Based on my nickname, you are free to call me Ju or Julie! ^-^

Being a "fan of many fandoms, especially Danganronpa", I'm going to dedicate this blog mostly to posts about this series of visual novel… But I also like anime and (obviosly) some games, namely:

Shaman King Fruits Basket (Furuba) Sasaki and Miyano (new yaoi anime) Cookie Run MazM: The Phantom of the Opera

Most likely, I will mention them according to my mood or as crossovers. And also, I'm not sure if I'll be posting anything about my personal life… Unless, images of my rabbit xD Everyone loves fluffies, right? 🐰

Another info: from this day on, I plan to open the ask function! You can ask me questions of any nature and about all the above fandoms! In fact, I love answering questions and seeing that people are interested in any kind of my works! ~

I'm not an artist or video-maker – just can write fanfics in my native language (and sometimes use photoshop, photo editors or different templates)… But you have to start somewhere!

The only thing, is let's respect each other and be at least polite! I really dislike conflicts, shaming, accusations, and I myself will try to respect your opinion and tastes, even if everything inside me boils and rages. There will definitely be ⚠ disclaimers ⚠ under each of my posts, and I will try to inform you about topics that are unpleasant to me in advance (like, for example, politiсs)!

And since I have more or less indicated everything that I wanted, let's move on to Danganronpa again 👀 ehehe :>

For this post, I have prepared a couple of introductory tier lists so that you can find out about my tastes, and at the same time be able to ask something… But first, some important clarifications:

My favorite part of Danganronpa – it's DRV3: Killing Harmony, but as strange as it may sound, I have not yet completed this game :'D HOWEVER, I'm very calm about spoilers and, accordingly, I have already managed to find out a lot myself. All wiki info, all Free-Time events, Ultimate Development Plan, Danganronpa S, Salmon Team, Love Hotels, all fan thoughts, articles, executions, video with analysis of individual characters, some screenshots from the main game and plot twists… Seriously, I'm prepared for ALL of this. So can consider myself quite competent. And I'll start playing very soon anyway!

In DRV3 story, I prefer to ignore the pre-game ending, i.e. fake personalities. I also almost deny the Gopher project. It can be said, that I have my own Universe (really love generate various AU). I can provide an explanation if anyone needs it :^

Also, I am completely satisfied with the cast of the second Danganronpa known as Goodbye Despair, but haven't started watching anime yet (actively moving towards this goal, I want to know as much as possible)

I'm ULTIMATIVE Shipper (pairing maker ? xD). Doctor of shipping science. It affects a lot of my perception of things.

A-a-a-and… HERE IT IS!! First Tier-List 😅

It's pretty simple, but let me clarify one (so as not to deprive you of the opportunity to ask something) thing – tier D doesn't mean that I extremely hate these characters. Rather, I just can't accept their nature and principles, can't understand; but I will NEVER judge the people that like something in them. Although Kurokuma just annoyed me, I confess.

Second Tier-List – my favorite theme, PAIRINGS (yes, as you can see, I ship both het and femslash and just slash, and OT3)👩‍❤️‍👩👨‍❤️‍👨👩‍❤️‍👨

Sorry for the possible ripples in the eyes, Danganronpa is too wealthy in character combinations, phew. And before I start making clarifications on the wording, I would like to bow to the author of this tier-list 🛐

Because he seems to me to be the ONLY one who listed all the combinations, regardless of their popularity. In other variants, for example, I did not find either Shinsai or Shintojo (and as you can see, this was very important for me). There's no cross-game shipping, but I don't do it.

Now to the wording:

"Taking off my hat" means that "don't ship myself (although Ryoma/Kirumi is questionable and Mahiru/Soda isn't so clear), but I respect the fervor and dedication of people who consider them a good couple".

Some opposite of it – is "?¿ I don't understand". I mean, in this case, I'm REALLY confused. How. Why. They weren’t even close, in my opinion. But again, all without hate. Please don't hate for the pairings 🙏

And let’s wrap this up! I hope I could intrigue you 😉 There will be a new post soon!!

Mod Introductions 💕

Hey everyone! Here are the long-awaited moderator introductions! Apologies for the minor delay, but it’s here! 

The BNHA Rarepair Bang 2019 moderator introductions!

❤️ Hey there! I’m Mod R, and my main here is @validityhours, previously @/just-thinking-quietly. I’m the head mod for this bang, so I’ll be monitoring all the forms, partners, and generally making sure that everything stays on track as it should! I haven’t done much in the BNHA fandom, but I’m currently a moderator for the Furuba Big Bang and a multiple VA projects for Haikyuu!! and OHSHC. I only have been into BNHA since late April, but I really like the entire set up for the series. Most of the systems are flawed, and I thinks it’s cool. My favorite rarepair would have to be SeroRoki, mostly because I just love both of them so much. Specifically for this bang, I created it to have lovers of rarepairs in the fandom to get together and actually celebrate them for an event! I hope everyone who signs up gains people they can rant to about KiriTodo, FuyRyu, and all others.

❤️ Hi! I’m Mod G, my main is @silhouettart and I’m the graphic design mod for this bang aka the person that is behind the whole design of this and I have no idea what am I even doing *incoherent screaming in the background*. Anyway, I’m mainly a zine mod, though I am modding Boku no AU Bang and BNHA femslash big bang. I really like bnha because it’s an anime about superheroes and tackles some themes that aren’t usually explored in this genre (I guess the western superhero genre has been getting better but bnha did it before it was cool). I really love Ochamina (pink space lesbians, what’s there to not love about them), Huwumi (hawks x fuyumi, I have no idea why I ship it but it’s cool), and Kirikacchako (Kirishima x Uraraka x Bakugo. I mean, look at the sunset trio. Or comet trio? Since you know, comets are rocks, fly very quickly and well, fly through space at zero gravity). I’m looking forward to talking with all my fellow rarepair shippers!

❤️ Sup! I’m Mod RG, you can find me over at @ultraraygayraygay​ and I’m one of the lucky Interns for this bang! I love the concept of quirks and how they work in society! Also I love so many of the minor characters I suffer for my faves. One of my favourite rare pairs is OjIzuku! Fluffy friends to lovers has me s o f t. And I’m looking forward to all the fresh and delicious rare pair content we’re getting from this bang! >:3c

❤️ Hello, I’m Mod P, my main is @peachylixir and I’m another Mod Intern for the rarpairbang! I’m looking forward to gaining more behind-the-scenes experience from my fellow mods, and I will be assisting however I’m needed. My fave thing about BNHA is how lovable the cast is and my favorite rarepair is MomoChako. I’m looking forward to seeing what unique pairings people like and the burst of new creative content!

❤️ Heyyo, it’s Mod L! I’m a sack of potatoes floating on the moon, but you can find me at my main @whitedarkangel. For this bang, I’m the one responsible for the server aka the Discord Mod. So, you’ll mostly find me lurking in our discord humble abode, making sure it runs smoothly and taking care of the baby bots. I’m currently the head mod of the Soukoku Big Bang (Bungo Stray Dogs) and the Sormik Big Bang (Tales of Zestiria) as well as running a few fandom servers. Other BNHA project I’m modding at the moment is the AU Bang! I love so many things about BNHA that I could make you several essays and probably flood this post. Just know that the plot, the characters, the everything really got me hooked up into this amazing anime. I’m also an OchaMina and OchaMomo enthusiast. I can’t wait to see all of the incredible entries that this event would bring! 

❤️ Hey! I'm Mod B, they/them, and I am your social media mod! I've worked on a few big projects before (around 10 zines and 3 other bangs), so i'm glad to join the team and help out with this one! I look forward for this event to be inclusive and friendly, and I hope we make something you all enjoy! If you wish to contact me, my social media is @peachfemmes on tumblr! My favorite thing about BNHA has got to be the A-1 class, and as for ships? I'm in love with the idea of Todoroki and Iida!

1, 8, and 14 for the shipping asks!

Thanks!

1. What was your first OTP?

I THINK it was Ankh su Namun/Imhotep from The Mummy. First femslash ship was Luna/Twilight from MLP and first slash ship was Loki/Tony Stark (of course it was, I know, I know.)

8. Who is the most shippable person you can think of?

Death from Elisabeth. Mainly because they can be applied to literally every fandom and every character in said fandom. 

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

Fairly regularly. Like, I don’t think my basic IDEAS on a ship will change after I set my heart on something, but I do think that the way I approach it might change. There are some ships that I liked a lot, they might not have been my OTP but I LIKED them, but then the fandom was so exclusionary to multi-shipping/allowing anything BUT their ship in that I was like “Okay, then, fuck you too.” 

For example, F1nnRey in Star Wars. GREAT ship, wholesome and cute, with a lot of opportunity for character development and two broken characters finding each other! A little TOO wholesome for my taste (I generally only do perfectly wholesome if it’s, like, over one of their family member’s graves or something), but it was GOOD and I would have been perfectly fine had it happened. But then The Ship Wars came, and as someone who’s die-hard Enemies to Lovers, I wasn’t really...allowed in with the main fold anymore. F1nnrey shippers became less “I love these two characters so much and I like their dynamic” and more “Fuck you if you like anything else.” So, yeah, now I forever associate that ship with the sheer AMOUNT of vitriol that Reylo shippers got.  

Ditto for Londo/G’Kar from Babylon 5. ANOTHER great ship, in theory, and actually enemies to lovers. Yeah, okay, one of them MIGHT have ordered the other’s planet to be subjected to a scorched earth policy and the inhabitants enslaved or executed, but hey, he who is without sin. And they had some great development with one another! Alright, I didn’t see CHEMISTRY so much as an interesting dynamic (and those are two very different things), but I did like them. And then...you guessed it...someone made it into “If you DON’T like them/ship G’Kar with someone else/etc. then you’re homophobic.” And I’m just here like....”He does canonically like the ladies as well. He’s bi. And he doesn’t NEED to prop up Londo’s arc, he has a life of his own too, and maybe he doesn’t WANT to have to deal with Londo, in a palace where he was imprisoned, tortured, and mutilated.” So, yeah, I would actually say that that one leans into NOTP territory for me now. 

Also...sorry Les Mis fans, but I went from “Okay, it’s alright” on E/R to “...Get thee behind me, Satan” due to the way...certain members...of the fandom...acted back in the days following the film’s release. (That and I don’t care about the Les Amis that much when I could have the GLORIOUS enemies to lovers, Peyronan If They Were Actual Adults dynamic of Javert/Valjean.)

So, yeah, moral of the story: I am a petty, spiteful creature by nature and if you try to force me into liking ONLY one option, I WILL like one option, but it won’t be the one you want me to like. 

In terms of actually making me like something, I do give props to the Aladdin fandom for...somewhat selling me on Jasmine/Jafar, depending on how a given creator pulls it off. It’s not my all time favorite and I have mixed feelings on it for various reasons, but like. I do get it, and I won’t say no to a well written fic and have combed AO3 for them. I’ll probably be stuck in Aladdin/Jafar Hell for the near future as far as content I make’s concerned, but like. I get it. 

Also props to the RetJ fandom for selling me on Juliet/Escalus, in terms of like “Juliet has an arranged marriage and becomes a master of the Verona political scene while fucking living” because that’s a huge Thing for me. (With the caveat that they don’t consummate their marriage for some time for obvious reasons and that it’s not something that Escalus is really expecting either.)

The Toxic State of the Homestuck Fandom (Mainly the Femslash Fandom)

Y'know, I feel like the Grimdorks Uprising is a representation of everything toxic in the Homestuck community, and it especially shows just how toxic the Femslash fandom is.

I’m not trying to resurrect a discourse here, but I am using it as an example. There’s a lot of things that showed me just how entitled, aggressive, and straight up petty the HS femslash fandom can be.

Now, disclaimer before I get started. This is very much about the extremist femslash fans who feel the need to:

1. Shit on any ship that isn’t Femslash (mostly het) because it’s not Femslash.
 2. Express Blatant Biphobia and refuse to acknowledge or outright bash Bisexual headcanons. See: constantly claiming Roxy or Terezi are Lesbians despite clearly being Bisexual and getting angry with people who headcanon Rose as Bisexual. 
 3. The rampant Misandry. I get that you’re not going to focus on men, but repeatedly bashing male character or stating they’re all incompetent while the girls are all perfect competent badasses is fucking gross. Stop it.
 4. Bully and harass fans of ships because the ships in question are ‘bad’, either because of subjective tastes or because it violates the tumblr shipping principles, mainly the ‘Don’t ship characters outside of their sexuality (unless they’re straight)’ rule. 5. Adding to the above: Spamming the tags of said ships either with passive-aggressive art or just accusing everyone who likes the ship of Then getting mad that the shippers are upset and/or retaliating, as if you didn’t just; oh, I don’t know, accuse people of being hateful or inherently awful people just because they like a ship with different characteristics from yours. 6. Acting incredibly entitled to female characters. 7. This cancer, which is a combination of the first three.

I’m certainly not trying to say that all Femslash fans are like this. In fact, I see several Femslash fans who are actually respectful, nice, and generally just cool people. But the toxic and extremist parts of the fandom is hard to ignore. It gets to the point where I’ve pretty much experienced Pavlovian conditioning to avoid nearly every Femslash fan I come across because I’ve associated them with this toxic behavior.

But what I really want to stress here that your community isn’t doomed. I mean, the more forgiving part of me even believes this Toxicity is a side effect of this hellsite we use. Not saying that the toxic aspects of the fandom is excusable, but it just explains where they may come from and why. Calling out this behavior is the first step to making sure it’s healthy and generally non-toxic to everyone involved, even to people outside the community. When you let this type of behavior go unchecked, sooner or later you’re going to have some problems. Ex: Voltron Fandom. Or, fuck, the DDADDS fandom. That game hasn’t been out a week (As of when this post was made) and look what this hellsite did to the fandom.

To Clarify one last time before I get started: It’s the Femslash extremists I have a problem with, not the lesbians or the Femslashers in general.

Now, I believe this Uprising has it’s origins in a post (That I cannot find right now, nor would want to because I don’t want the OP to be harassed) where someone basically said ‘Grimdorks works better for Jaderose because they’re both dorks who went grimdark’. I don’t think it really blew up, mostly because the last time I remembering seeing it had… maybe less then 50 notes? So the only explanation I have is that the creator or the people who interacted with the post agreed and shared it with other Homestuck fans on forums, tumblr, or discord.

Pretty harmless in and of itself, since everyone knew the ship name belonged to Johnrose (As the reasoning behind it was John and Rose were dorks and Rose went Grimdark) and it was mostly just a joke/fun little introspection by someone.

I don’t know what happened in the days leading up to the Uprising, but I imagine it went something like this (Note: Since this is me theorizing; I could always be wrong, so PLEASE understand that when reading this):

1. Some people are talking about Jaderose or just ship names in general, and someone brings up how Grimdorks would fit Jaderose. 2. Some people agree, and some point out that Johnrose is already called Grimdorks. 3. There may or may not be some people in this discussion who hate Johnrose. Perhaps they just find it boring, maybe they just don’t see it, maybe they dislike it because they feel it erases Rose’s relationship with Kanaya or her sexuality, and maybe it could be all of the above. 4. Someone with any of the reasons listed or not listed above could have suggested taking the Grimdorks ship name for Jaderose. 5. People agree, they start discussing it, and some people or just one person decides to make a blog to spearhead the Uprising. 6. Blogs similar to the original crop up. 7. Grimdorks fan wakes up and sees a random Jaderose post on their dash thanks to Tag tracker. 8. ??? 9. Shitstorm.

So, first off: I think what this best shows is this bizarre sense of entitlement Femslash extremists have. I mean seriously, the idea that you can just ‘reclaim’ a ship name that’s about 5+ years old is pretty damn entitled. You’re kind of implying that it’s stolen, even though it was possibly made by Johnrose shippers and it was certainly made for them. If anything, Jaderose shippers were the ones trying to steal it, even though they have the arguably superior stand ship name ‘Guns n Roses’.

Next is the general hypocrisy of the discourse.

Now, we can argue about Rose’s sexuality until the cows come home, but one other reason I see being touted around for why you can’t ship Johnrose is ‘Rose is married’. The main problem I have with this is how these people say this… then turn a blind eye to any other ship that includes Rose. Hell, they might even multiship Rose. I’m not saying you’re not allowed to multiship, but when you say ‘Rose is Married’ against a ship that includes Rose, then ignore another ship that includes her, how do you not see the hypocrisy? This is especially jarring since the Grimdorks Uprising was done by Jaderose shippers, or at the very least people were using Jaderose as the ‘face’ of the Uprising, so to speak.

Next up is some of the more… uh, Biphobic stuff in the uprising. Now, I understand that Rose’s sexuality is kind of vague. I mean, sure, it’s entirely in character for Rose to have been flirting with Dave ironically. But can you really blame some people for having trouble sifting through Rose’s lavender maze of irony and Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness? Even Kanaya had trouble understanding this snarky broad.

Regardless, telling people thay can’t Headcanon Rose as Bisexual because it’s ‘Erasing Lesbians’ is um… kinda… I dunno, sketchy? I mean assuming you’re not just saying it’s because lesbians untainted by men are rare, what part of ‘Bisexual’ is scary to you? It’s not like saying Rose would enjoy kissing boys is going to degrade her canon love for Kanaya. Or, hell, even that she would do so while in a committed relationship with Kanaya. So… I guess it’s just down to preference? There’s always going to be headcanons you don’t like, but I suppose the best thing to do is just leave these people to their own devices. :V

And finally, the pettiness and aggression of the whole thing.

When you look at this whole discourse, it’s just petty. You’re trying to take a ship name and claim it for a different ship, and you’re just being a giant asshole on top of that. I know it was a stupid thing to get up in arms about, but really, with all the factors I listed above, it’s a little difficult not to get annoyed. Especially when you combine it with shit like this, it’s just icing on the cake of shitty behavior! Seriously, how else is a Johnrose fan supposed to take people spamming their tag with an irrelevant ship and accusing them of being an inherently awful people just for shipping as anything other than aggressive?

Even worse, when people start calling them out for it, these people have the gall to play victim and hide behind their labels as if it justifies this behavior! Or, even worse, try to make it one big joke. Sorry, but bullying is bullying, no matter what reasoning or intentions you have behind it.

Now that we’ve reached the end, I’m sure at one of you is wondering how to fix the fandom. The most simplest solution I have?

1. Don’t partake in behavior such as the six points listed above 2. Actively discourage such behavior 3. Understand that you do not run the fandom 4. Understand that you no say in how a person wants to enjoy Homestuck 5. Understand that shipping has no bearing on canon or a person’s beliefs and morality. 6. Understand that you have the responsibility to blacklist, block and distance yourself from ships you don’t like 7. Only step in when you believe a fan is hurting others, such as harassment or bullying.

[javert-jajaune-jarouge]

(to clarify at once: not an answer to any of the posts I’ve seen on this topic, just my thoughts on the topic in general)

Look, I’m comparatively new to this fandom and I haven’t been here when the 2012 film came out, so I might have missed something important, but it is really weird to me that, while I almost never see Enjonine shippers or anything produced by them (I’ve seen maybe three or two drawings but no fics, no headcanons, nearly nothing), I see hate towards this ship and its shippers from time to time, as if it was some big thing. I have to admit that personally, I also find it weird that somebody ships them - I just see no basis whatsoever for this pairing - but the ratio of actual Enjonine content and anti-Enjonine posts astounds me more. Did Enjonine shippers do something Huge and Bad in the past? Because all the arguments against this ship that I’ve seen so far are like:

they do not interact in canon (true, but I can name at least one popular Les Mis ship in which the characters are not shown interacting in canon)

it is a “pair the spares” case (also true in relation to the 2012 film, I guess, but again, I can name at least one popular Les Mis ship for which there is no real canon basis despite the fact that the characters know each other, and which looks like nothing but “pair the spares“ to me)

it erases Enjolras’s sexuality (a bunch of people shipping a pairing cannot erase anything about the canon which was completed more that a century ago. They cannot tweet Victor Hugo and ask him to #GiveEnjolrasAGirlfriend or some shit. Many official screen adaptations lack certain characters - do they erase them from the brick? No. Nor can fandom erase the things that are just there, forever. And I don’t want to expand here on how canon Enjolras’s sexuality is because I am, too, convinced that he is not straight, but I can see why it could be interpreted differently)

it is heteronormativity (ok, maybe it’s just me but people do not necessarily ship certain ships because these are het ships or slash ships or femslash ships, they ship certain ships because, for one or another reason, they’re interested in the existing or potential dynamic between two certain characters, no matter the genders of these characters. And this attraction is usually irrational - you cannot always explain why you’re drawn to one or another ship. It is really difficult for me to imagine that some... real living people... seriously go “Oh I’m gonna ship THIS because it perpetuates problematic and narrow views on the society“. Maybe there are some boring assholes who have such a motivation but not everyone)

they just want Eponine to be with some nice guy (and what’s bad about that? Yes, it’s not like you absolutely need a guy, even a nice one, to be happy, but what’s bad about that? And there are certainly not enough nice girls in canon - especially in the musical, especially if one doesn’t want to ruin Mariusette for one or another reason. As to why choose Enjolras when there are many other great guys - well, since I’m not an Enjonine shipper, I have no fucking clue, but see the previous point about the irrational nature of shipping. Same for “why this when you can ship e/R”)

In conclusion, I have no idea why people ship Enjolras and Eponine, but everyone has the right to ship whatever they want (yes, even the ships that are your NOTPs), and considering that at the moment this ship is not even that prominent in the fandom, you are probably overreacting.

...I cannot believe I just wrote a huge post defending a ship I don’t even like. I just hate fandom policing so much.

[friendlyalien]

already asked some of these but how about s through z for the fandom meme

S - I'll probably grossly misunderstand the question but here goes I always thought that Lucius and Narcissa would be a-okay with Draco being bi or gay. Don't ask me to explain why because I have no clue but I had this idea stuck in my brain for as long as I can remember.

Oh, and something about the way Christophe acts makes me believe he is hella insecure. Actually, I have planned out a 50ish chapter story about it, but I refuse to even touch the behemoth before I deal with my WIPs.

T - unless stated otherwise, everyone is bi. Yes, I am a multishipper, why do you ask?

U - I don't have 5 fandoms fucking hell! The last one is a character I find severly underrated.

Pokemon - James, itsyaboi Guzma, Paul, Barry and Nando (fun fact: Nando has only one (1) entry on Rule34 and it's not even sexual. Don't ask questions.)

Yuri on Ice - Yuri, Emil (!!!), Chris, Phichit, Georgi (the boy is underrated). Yea I know it says five but JJ.

Harry Potter - Draco (duh), Remus (duh!), book!Ginny, Neville, and not really underrated but Snape

Beastars (haven't finished reading yet) - Legosi, Louis (bastard twink grew on me), I can't think of her name but the hen that lays eggs for the sandwiches Legosi eats on Wednesday-then-Friday, that badass panda whose name I won't even attempt writing down, and the cheetah girl (names are hard okay?)

V - Pokemon - you want me to pick one, huh? Rocketshipping.

Yuri on Ice - fuck the canon, Michemil.

Harry Potter - I believe you can parse the answer yourself at this point

W - Drarry - hatefuck. It was my first rival ship for a reason.

I won't disclose the name of the ship because it's RP (real people) and I feel bad for liking it - corsetry

Fucking Victuuri got me into foot stuff (Victor's feet thing is a legitimate tag on AO3)

I have seen too much praise kink in the Otayuri tag to not be into it.

X - Jean-Jacques Leroy is a precious cocky boi and shall not be slandered the way he is.

Georgi deserves therapy and a happy ending.

Isabella doesn't. Deserve. The. Bashing. She. Gets. (And yes I like to pair her fiancé with literally anyone else but she doesn't have to be a bitch. I am a sucker for supportive!ex.)

Same goes for Anya, and I don't really like her to begin with.

Emil is a baby but I think that's the general belief.

Y - to all the people that are trying to get me into Sherlock - stop. To all the people that are reblogging Star Wars fanart - the art is beautiful but won't happen.

And I used to have a shitton of Voltron fanart on my dash like 2 years ago but never got into the show. Dodged a bullet there, lemme tell you.

Z - okay, I love Yuri on Ice with all my heart. I think the characters are all interesting and they make me wanna explore them more, in different settings. This anime got me back into writing.

But hell, does it make an injustice for the girl part of the show. Like, I was making myself height and age charts of all the characters so I won't have to go on Wiki and get lost in Georgi's beautiful eyes for ten minutes every time I needed a reminder that he is older than Victor. The girl skaters (the whole two of them) have no canon height, and the only reason we know Sara's birthday is because she's Michele's twin. Like come on. I am not even that much of a femslash shipper but... would it hurt to have more than, what, three major background characters?

That rant over - man I hate that I have gotten myself into a RPF. I am not (and will never) be writing fics about them but I feel like that even the fact that I read what is out there (not) and comment and encourage is bad enough, especially when they have partners. Nobody is pretending that it's real and I haven't seen anyone slandering their spouses (I'd go fucking feral if that happened) but... yeah.

I'd love if they put out a statement about their feeling about shipping (I remember one of them joking about what their ship name with another member was, so there is a good chance they are aware) because I am conflicted as hell.

I used to be involved in the Smosh fandom like decades ago and rememeber they even used to read fics, and that was fun and kind of reassuring. You know, that they knew and didn't mind/care enough to try and say "hey, stop that". That it didn't affect their lives in negative way, because that is the last thing I'd want to be a part of, even passively.

Rant over, everyone go home.

[alittlefangirlish]

Dear Fandom5k Author,

First of all, thank you so much for writing a story just for me! 

 To start, some of my general likes/dislikes:

What I Like kid!fic (as in, the characters have kids, not the character are kids - toddler age is perfect), crushes/beginning of relationship (the concept of the feelings coming to fruition and both parties going, “WTF is going on? Why am I acting this way around him/her?” is one of my favorite fandom tropes), smut is always good, flirting.

What I Don’t Like Incest, bestiality and molestation are my only three sexual squicks, fandom has desensitized me to everything else. Character bashing. Yes, I’m generally a slasher but that doesn’t mean I hate the female (or in the case of a femslash ship, male) characters (or, if I do, it’s for reasons unrelated to “I ship his/her love interest with his/her best (fe)male friend and s/he gets in the way of the gay sex”). On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don’t want them to, they exist. If you’re gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please. And now, my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: Backstreet Boys, Brian/Nick (AU - Canon Divergence, AU - Modern, Established Relationship, Fluff Getting Together, Slice of Life, Smut) I would be content with just about anything you write me for these two, but here are a few ideas to maybe jumpstart your plot bunnies: 

College AU: Nick is the wet behind the ears freshman, Brian is the TA that steals his heart. Workplace AU: Either one of them gets the other a job, or they meet in a training/orientation session. Things progress. Canon Set: I really love the Millennium/Black & Blue era set stories, so maybe some sort of AU set in that time where the two of them get together versus Brian ending up with Leighanne (and thus Nick doesn't ultimately end up with Lauren).

Feel free to mix and match the requested genres as needed/wanted.

I adore these two so so much (as you can tell because I request them a lot)! They are my babies. I know I gave a few prompts but by all means, don't feel limited to just them. Honestly, if it involves these two, I've seen (and probably loved) some sort of AU with them. (Though I didn't request it, I have even done these two IN SPACE!) I think the only AU I've ever done with these two that I didn't like was a Medieval AU because trying to keep the old timey language in check was tough.

Requested Fandom #2: Voltron: Legendary Defender, Hunk/Lance, Allura/Shiro, Hunk, Lance, Pidge, Shiro (AU - Genre Shift, AU - Modern, Canon Style Plot, Character Development, Fluff, Getting Together, Smut) For Allura/Shiro: A coffee shop AU - Shiro visits this local coffee shop every day before work not just because the coffee is amazing, but the owner isn't bad on the eyes herself. Or something canon set after season 2 where Shiro returns from Lord knows where (the Astral Plane?) and while he was there he realized exactly how he felt about Allura.

Oh, my Space Parents. I really just want them to be happy. And, don't feel like you're limited to these two options. I mentioned them as a jumping ground, not an end all be all, this is what I want and nothing else.

For Hunk/Lance: I really just want a soulmate AU of these two. If you do decide to write smut of these two, please age them up to 18+, thanks.

I've been really invested in soulmate AUs for a while, and these two just seem perfect for it. If you do write one, I'd like something different than a typical "countdown to the day they meet" or "first thing said to them" tattooed on their arm type of AU. But if that doesn't spark you, whatever you want to do with them is fine.

For all of the paladins: I really, really, really just want the character development these four deserved, but did not get, in season 2 since the writers were so darn focused on Keith.

Oh, my feelings on season 2 (I have strong ones). Why did they have to focus on Keith so much (and we got a little bit with Shiro during his astral plane fight with Zarkon, but not nearly enough)? I want to know more about the rest of the Paladins. I want Pidge finding out more about her brother. I want Lance to have more angst about his assumed "seventh wheel" status, that was resolved way too quickly for my liking (and seeing Lance with a vulnerable side was refreshing). I want Hunk... just... not reduced to fat/food jokes. He is so much more than that. I want more of Shiro struggling with his time as a prisoner of the Galra, slowly remembering more of what happened when he was there.

Requested Fandom #3: The Social Network, Mark/Eduardo (Angst, Fix-it fic, Getting Together, Smut) Ah, the bane of every Mark/Eduardo shipper: canon, and the need for fix-it fic. Because everyone in this fandom loves its fix-it fic. Maybe have something set during one of Facebook's milestones: the 10th anniversary, a user count milestone. Something involving a huge party.

These two. My heart. So much heartbreak. I really, really just want them to be happy. I would love it if Mark were the one to extend the olive branch to Eduardo, but however you want to do it is fine with me.

Requested Fandom #4: Pokémon (Games), N/Hilda, Lillie/Moon (AU - Modern, Canon Style Plot, Established Relationship, Getting Together, Smut) (If you write smut, please make sure everyone is aged up to 18+, thanks.)

For Lillie/Moon: Either Moon returning to Kanto, or Lillie returning to Alola. Maybe Moon takes on the Kanto Gym Challenge and Lillie is Indigo League Champion, or Lillie is asked to replace one of the Alola Elite Four.

These two girls completely stole my heart, and I want them to have nothing but happiness. I want to see Lillie as a competent trainer, I want to see Moon impressed by her skills, I want to see them having to battle each other (bonus points if Lillie wins!) and Moon being impressed by Lillie's skills.

For N/Hilda: I see these two reuniting many years in the future, even after the events of Black and White 2, possibly as trainers in their late 20s/early 30s. How has Unova changed? How have they changed?

My babies. I wasn't feeling them until the end of the game, but I fell for them and fell hard. What have they been doing the last couple years? Do they think of each other? What happens when they finally reunite? Do Reshiram and Zekrom have anything to do with their reunion? Does Team Plasma strike again, causing them to have to join forces? 

Requested Fandom #5: Original Work, Female Barista/Female Customer, Female Rock Star/Female Groupie, Male Athlete/Male Athlete (Canon Style Plot, Established Relationship, Fluff, Getting Together, Smut) For Female Barista/Female Customer: She comes in every day and gets the same thing. Maybe she's not just doing it for the coffee. 

For Female Rock Star/Female Groupie: Seeing the same face in the crowd night after night, like the fan's following the rock star around, leads the rock star to want to know more about the fan.

For Male Athlete/Male Athlete: The two are teammates, and one thing just leads to another with them, perhaps.

For any of these, being original work, feel free to take any of these prompts however they lead you (or if something else strikes your fancy, go for it!)
