omg youve just reminded me how much time i spent trawling for problem attic loki/steve once upon a time..... I CANT REMEMBER IF I EVER FOUND ANYTHING but im gonna check some chatlogs

PLEASE SHARE ANYTHING YOU’VE GOT I am appalled by how hard it is to find garbage for this pairing

like, what surprises me isn’t that the fluff exists, the fluff will always exist for every fucked-up pairing because fandom is weird and beautiful and frankly on some pretty high-octane crack--what surprises me is that the garbage apparently DOESN’T

fandom, I expected more out of your torrent of unfiltered id

someone at the seattle protest tonight had a sign that said, depressingly, "see you all next week".

there was definitely at least one “I’ve been here all week, can you stop being assholes already so I can go home?” type sign at the DC protest

Someone on my Twitter feed just referred to themselves as “stereo trash” and it turns out that Stereo is a threesome smush name for a Teen Wolf pairing (Stiles/Derek/Theo) and they meant the other kind of trash, but man was that a confusing ten seconds.

remember when john sheppard/elizabeth weir was "sparky" tho

Oh man. Some ship was called Spanky as well, I think? Though one of my most enduring memories of SGA shipping wank is of someone mocking the sparky name and unironically saying that it lacked the “quiet dignity of mcshep”. I laughed about that one for a long time, because really, there is no good smushname. Except Filliam H. Muffman of course, that is the only exception.

KLAAAIIIIIIIIINE

Sigh. That one was where I finally gave in because tumblr wouldn’t do searches and tracks for tags with a slash in them and all of my fandoms were moving so decisively into tumblr. Obviously I wanted notes, so that was the beginning of the end :(

I want to laugh a little about how much speculation is in this post, but I also would probably read fic for that pairing, so.

Gifs on my dash with some bits of dialog are literally all I know about either character and I am not emotionally invested, but somehow it’s still really cute and if there were gifs of them together that crossed my dash it would be really adorable too? Being fannish has some strange side effects...

I do watch the Flash and IN THAT MOMENT I BEGAN TO SHIP IT. I don’t watch Arrow, though, and that’s where Laurel is, so this is based entirely on that subplot.

I don’t watch Arrow or Flash, but I feel like I know randomass bits and pieces of all shows that ever cross my dash. Only enough to probably be confusing if anyone asks what they’re really about, but still enough to probably give the vague impression that I do nothing but watch tv shows 24 hours a day. I’m glad my totally random shipping of characters I know almost nothing about has some sort of actual basis too. Not that it matters either way, but still :D
