My teens have been slowly working their way into fandom over the past few years, and last night my 13 yr old outed herself as a Ciso/Caitlin shipper on The Flash (idk what that ship name is). And then she asked me if I have any ships from stuff we both like...
...and after my ten minute ramble on how much Lena Luthor is crushing on Kara in Supergirl and how Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers are my ultimate MCU pairing, she now thinks all my ships are gay. Which is ironic, because even though I do passively ship some slash and femslash, I’ve only ever written het fic.
Gave me something to think about. Like maybe I should try my hand at femslash at some point. And an internal debate about how much of my fandom life I should reveal to my kid...
