A: Your current OTP.

In the sense of “I SHIP THEM WITH EACH OTHER AND NOBODY ELSE”, I don’t have OTPs, but in the sense of “I SHIP THEM LOTS AND USE OTP TO INDICATE THE EXTENT OF MY SHIPPITUDE”, uh, Carolina/Kimball is probably the top contender right now.

B: A pairing you didn’t initially consider but someone changed your mind.

Completely missed Tucker/Wash until I wandered into fandom after s11 and then went “oh hey” and then went “OH HEY”. It happens a lot, really. This fandom is full of cool people with cool pairings, and I am largely oblivious until someone points them out to me.

G: What was your first fandom?

Under this name? Sherlock Holmes (pre-BBC Sherlock, pre-RDJ movies, etc. etc.). Waaaay back in the day, the first time I was actively scribbling fanfics about something as a lil kid? Probably Pokemon or Neopets.

Q: A ship you’ve abandoned and why.

I mean, yeah, like a lot of people my Tex/Carolina ship took a swandive when I got to the end of s10. But in this fandom at least I’m still shipping the old ships alongside the new ones.

S: What’s a headcanon you have?

Dangit I was gonna talk about Carolina and her terrible love of pickup lines but epsilontucker already answered that and I stole one response already for Q so uh. South was a professional golfer as a teenager. Honest. North will back her up on this if you don’t believe her. He’ll back her up with facts and figures and carefully clipped scrapbooks of her exploits. Why does he carry that scrapbook around? How does it fit in his armor so he can pull it out, stone-faced, to present as evidence during a heated argument with doubters on a battlefield? How did the topic even come up? Who still scrapbooks in the 26th century? There are many mysteries about the twins, but there’s one thing we know for sure: South was a professional golfer as a teenager.

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

Destiny. It wasn’t so much ‘all over’ tumblr so much as I kept seeing it on my dash from time to time and thinking “god that looks cool. I wish I liked FPS games.” then deciding... fuck it, ill learn to play PFS games. That’s how fun it looked

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

Risen AU. Destiny AU where the Eliksini never became the Fallen and are the ones with Guardian-like Light based powers while humanity fell after losing the Traveler. So it’s humanity that pursues and hunts the Eliksino across the verse.

Q: A ship you’ve abandoned and why.

I dont do alot of extensive shipping so I don’t abandon them so much as stop paying attention because I lose interest. So across the board, lots of ships I just stopped looking at.

S: What's a headcanon you have?

Guess I’m talking Destiny today. I’ve been trawling the grimoire with a friend because Crucible as an in-verse thing doesn’t make alot of goddamn sense. It would be like if we televised bootcamp for our armed forces like a sporting event? Bad form, man. So I like to headcanon there’s Crucible training which is private and Guardian only where new Guardians learn the intimate art of DYING REPEATEDLY. No one but other Guardians sees new Guardians screaming and thrashing from their first post-rez shock.
