GONCHAROV

For the Czech Secret Santa 2025 challenge, I made a fanart for the Goncharov fandom. Katya and Sofia together.

remember when evelyn hugo and celia st. james played katya goncharov and sofia? it was ahead of its time, it was a cultural reset

Have you noticed how much Goncharov fic is femslash? it's a lot. the whole phenomenon is wonderful, but this is probably the most fascinating thing about it (to me, at least)

I have noticed, and it is fascinating! To update some of my Goncharov stats from 3 days ago, now that the AO3 fandom presence has grown from 40 to over 500 fanworks (!!!):

With those smaller numbers a few days ago, I was really just goofing around (you can't conclude much about which ships are "winning" with only 40 fanworks, but I wanted to contribute some fun graphs to the Goncharov phenomenon anyway). Now that there are so many works, femslash is clearly leading the fic world, even though a lot of the meta and articles I see people sharing primarily mention the Andrey/Goncharov homoeroticism.

This is really interesting, and I wonder what all is driving it. Do the actors who play Andrey & Goncharov not speak as much to slash fans as the actors who play Katya & Sofia? is it the particular scenes that the women characters are in that speak to the fans the most? Was there some particularly inspirational early F/F fic or fanart that spurred more? Are "imaginary canons" (such a goofy genre name!) more likely to generate more femslash than other canons? And/or are there other reasons? Would love to hear theories.

Katya Michailov x Sofia Modigliani (Goncharov, 1973)

“people are only shipping katya with sofia because they’re the only two complex women in the film” okay but have you considered the cigarette scene and the flowers and also most importantly they told me they’re in love so. u sound dumb

[kazisonline]

Anyone who watched Goncharov and does not pick up on the clear sapphic story between Sophia and Katya is just really blind or does not want to see it. Day/Night dynamic, the way Sophia LOOKS at her when she thinks she can't see her, and most importantly "you could've been my sun"???!?!?!?!!? Come on for fuck's sake
