Fandom Meme

[chocochipbiscuit]

Hi hello I have insomnia right now and this meme seems fun?

My main fandoms are all listed here but special mention that I finished binging The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Please specify a fandom! 

A: Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

B: A pairing – platonic, romantic or sexual – that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

C: A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

D: What was the first thing you ever contributed to a fandom?

E: Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what?

F: What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? What fandom was it?

G: What was your first fandom?

H: Do you prefer live action TV shows or animated TV shows?

I: Has online caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

J: Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over the internet.

K: What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

L: Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves.

M: Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

N: Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

O: Choose a song at random, what ship does it remind you of?

P: Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Q: A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

R: Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

S: Show us an example of your personal headcanon.

T: Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

U: Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

V: Which character do you relate to most?

W: A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

X: A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Y: What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Z: Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!

A, B, T & Z for Fallout? (Answer as many or as few as you like!)

HNNNN I HAVE SO MANY YOU WONDERFUL ENABLER

I'm just doing NPC/NPC ships because I haven't actually written anything with OCs for a longass time and need to refine my OCs anyway...

I am always, always a sucker for Cass/Veronica and Veronica/Christine, but not necessarily them as an OT3? Idk, I fully admit I could be persuaded by a good fic.

I also am deeply into my Cait/Curie feels, and love Cait/Curie/Piper because why not ship all my gals together!!!!

You have brought me on board with love of Dr Madison Li, and she has so many good ships??? Madison/Catherine is a tragic classic, as is Madison/Janice, but Madison/Glory and Madison/Ingram have interesting dynamics, and I also love Madison/Virgil (only as a mutant though because who the FUCK gives a care about him as a measly human), Madison/Preston, and Madison/Virgil/Preston.

....also I hc that Rosalind Orman totes has a crush on Madison and depending on my mood, I will ship them as well.

AND ONE LAST SHOUT FOR (GOD/DOG)/KEENE AND (GOD/DOG)/ERICKSON BECAUSE I LOVE MY BIG ANGRY NIGHTKIN HAVING FEELINGS

B: A pairing – platonic, romantic or sexual – that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

ffffffuuuuuck Danse/FISTO is my stupid crackship my friend Duster got me into and it sort of spun into Danse/Keene and basically Danse Does Vegas and learns a lot about himself through fucking (and getting fucked by) robots, ghouls, and mutants. Also Red Lucy with a deathclaw dildo.

T: Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

ROSALIND ORMAND HAS A CRUSH ON DR MADISON LI

DESDEMONA IS TRANS

DR CARRINGTON IS VEGETARIAN

that's all that comes to mind right now, though I'm sure others can and will emerge later when I'm trying to go to bed :')

Z: Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!

OH MY FUCKING GOD WHY CAN'T I SMOOCH A GIANT LUMPY MUTANT ALREADY!!!!!

actually I was gonna leave it at that but now I feel like I need to yell about how Bethesda just completely trashes the idea that mutants are actually PEOPLE and turns them into giant baddies, so they're essentially all default hostile like raiders but bigger! they have their own culture and communities and while at least Fallout 3 gives us Fawkes and Leo, they are explicitly EXCEPTIONS

now some of it the game itself tries to handwave by saying it's a different strain than the one on the West Coast but BY GOLLY I am not buying it because even Fawkes himself will admit that it took him TIME to learn speech and history, and IIRC there are cut audio files (though with some lolwut at using cut content to prove a point because I also believe a game should be able to stand on its own. Death of the Author, yadda yadda) that have Fawkes giving the typical dumb brute speech while he's figuring out how to use a computer!

but now in Fallout 4??? we have Strong (slowly) learning figures of speech and interested in Shakespeare, we also have Virgil who HEY YEAH he struggles with rage and concentration but he is also explicitly trying to hold onto his humanity and maybe part of what makes it easier for him is that he was the only one we've encountered who actually had a CHOICE about whether he wanted to be a mutant or not!!! (and maybe he had tailored his own FEV cocktail to be one of the more West Coast-style strains) we also have Erickson and while Fallout does run pretty much on Science!!! over actual science I also would like to point to Erickson as an example of an intelligent super mutant who was only able to behave this way due to exterior circumstances, ie Vim fumes!

but also gdi I am willing and able to ship all the super mutants except Tabitha and Lily (Tabitha/Rhonda is canon and Lily's my nice gramma okay!) and I am also ANGRY at the games for their refusal to give us nice big butch lady mutants as well!!!!

M, N and S for Dragon Age?

[chocochipbiscuit]

M: Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend. Josephine! She's a sweetie and I'd love to go to the theatre (or movies :P) with her and go out for ice cream after and dish out on the gossip!

N: Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice). More Leliana/Morrigan!!!! I love them so.

Also, more dwarf PCs!!! I crave that Cadash and Brosca!

...also I kinda like Arishok/Hawke and I realize it's a tricky tricky ship but gosh darn it my heart went THUMP and dropped out my navel for him in DA2. He was an interesting antagonist, plus HE BIG.

S: Show us an example of your personal headcanon. Aveline is house-proud and tidy and is the kind of person who has to work on something when she's feeling stressed, so if she's thinking over a problem or headache (like Hawke, or Isabela...) she'll go on a cleaning spree until she's mulled it over. And then finish the job because why leave it only half-done?

[wolffyluna]

'Aveline stress cleans' feels so canon, I'm almost surprised that it isn't.
