I was tagged by @veliseraptor for this shipping meme and Iâm not tired enough for bed yet, so letâs do this!
I only read MCU fanfic but I have opinions all over the place so here goes...
1. Ultimate OTP: Â Thor/Loki, theyâre a mess but in the MCU have as much drama and chemistry as any canon pair and they really canât function without the other.Â
2. A ship youâll always love: Will Turner/Elizabeth Swann - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Fifth One that I donât remember very well BUT IT DID THIS ONE THING WHEREBY IT FREED WILL OF HIS TRAPPED-AT-SEA-CURSE AND OMG MY 16 YEAR OLD SELF WAS *ALIVE* AND THESE KIDS WERE REUNITED. FINALLY. I have no idea what the âDavy Jonesâ twist/dream thing was getting at and I doubt Disney will make it, so I disregard it
3. Your current obsession: Loki/Grandmaster is the obvious one. <--Yuppppp. I find this one WILD because Ragnarok/Goldblum himself lean so hard into it. Unexpected and wonderful and trashy as hellllllllll.
4. A ship you never thought youâd like: Reylo! I was icked out by them during The Force Awakens** (**But I donât think I talked about this because itâs not my main fandom and Iâm not fucking RUDE) and like post-TLJ? You know what? I kinda dig it. I havenât delved any into fic or anything for this but like when it crosses my dash, Iâm cool with it. Congrats Reylo people, those actors gave you a LOT in that last movie.
5. A ship you liked but donât anymore: I entered into reading Thor fanfic with a lot of Loki/Jane (Lokane) but Iâve kinda dropped off this one somewhat. Maybe lack of canon content to play with or entirely too many sides of Darcy who I filter out a lot. Still, a couple of their long fics from circa 2011-2012 are amongst my faves.
6. A ship you think should be canon: Again, stepping out of my main fandoms here but YOU GUYS. I saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway and those two new guys - Albus & Scorpius are a god damn romantic couple. The script supported this. The staging supported this. It was insanity that they didnât just go there. I felt like the audience I was in felt this as well. And yet AND YET on Broadway no less it still makes sure to do NO-HOMO gymnastics. Incredibly frustrating from an objective storytelling standpoint. Smh.Â
7. A canon ship you hate: Oh man Bruce/Natasha was pretty cringe-inducing. Lightly helped by Ragnarok using it as a couple plotpoints but still...ehhhh. Hateâs a strong word.Â
Also Ginny & Harry Potter...but thatâs 100% because movie!Ginny was awful. Really really awful.
Also ALSO oh god remember those dark times when Buffy was with boring ass Reilly? Woof.Â
8. A ship youâve shipped for years: Spike/Buffy might be like one of my first âshipsâ so I guess that counts. Possibly Wolf/Virginia from the Tenth Kingdom WHICH NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE KNOW BUT ITS AMAZING is the first time I remember being way too invested in two characters finally getting together. Sif/Loki has stuck around again, despite them not giving us new canon fodder.Â
9. A ship everyone loves but you donât care about: Tony Stark with anyone who is not Pepper...probably because RDJ & Paltrow have such great chemistry that Iâm like...Welp, thatâs settled for me.Â
10. Favorite rare-pair: I continue to yell that Thundershield (Steve/Thor) doesnât get nearly enough love as it should for what those two have in common and how cute they both are.Â
