1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get? I forget if OTP can be noncanon couples. They can, right? If so, I’ve never really gotten Ronsey. Or, I mean, I get WHY people would like them in terms of backstory/personalities/etc., but they do nothing for me. (I used to think that about Adansey but I read one fic ONE time, where one of them thinks it’s a job interview and the other thinks it’s a date, and it was so cute that it made me be like, “Okay, I get this.” But I don’t remember the name or author, boo.)
7. Is there anything you used to like but can't stand now? I liked Niall Lynch just fine/enough until @iamneversleepingagain pointed out how problematic he is. I wish this question was for H!P because I’d have so many solid answers.
10. Most disliked arc. Why? Ashley! I was super excited she’d go somewhere cool and then nothing ever happened. Nothing gets me more than this! I know there are way more important things but it just... gets... me...
19. What is one thing you hate most about your fandom? This is common in all fandoms & I wouldn’t say I hate this, but lately it’s been getting to me more than it used to, but: I wish we didn’t publicly complain about fics (and the choices they make) as much, unless they are legit problematic. I see a lot of Tumblr posts/Ao3 comments and - while they don’t call out specific fics by name or authors - I get overwhelmed by the negativity. There’s a lot of nitpicking over really small things and I want to just be like, “Fanfic is free. People do it for fun. It shouldn’t be critically analyzed If you don’t like it, don’t read it.”
Also, even though I’m almost 28, I still haven’t been able to shake that stupid reaction of thinking everyone is judging me/laughing about me, so as soon as someone complains I immediately go, “Could this be me?” and then shame spiral, before I remember I’m an adult & I’m being ridiculous. So maybe I’m just extra sensitive right now because this has happened literally like...4 times in the past few weeks.
