This is why we can't have nice things.

sabinetzin1. If I see the words "Cherik" or "McFassy" one more time, I am absolutely going to shit my pants. What are we, 14-year-old anime fans, or are we just grown-ass people who should be ashamed of ourselves?
Says the McShep shipper. Look, at least we just have the one, and it's not completely fucking stupid.
We will, however, accept Fassavoy, but only because it sounds like an expensive hotel, and that pleases me. The Bowtie and Hewligan people can also keep theirs, because they amuse me so. We are willing to go as far as Phlint, even though it is apparently idiosyncratic, because it is also pleasing.
(Where my Lawbender fans? You know you want to. If you like smush names so damn much, look at what a nice one it can have. So suggestive.
We would accept her with pretty much anyone, but that was the only smush name I could think of. Get off my back.)
2. Also, fandom at large, I can't come with you on "feels." Really? You really want to go this way? Are we really saying that now? I know I have gone in exactly the opposite direction with ~feeeeeeelings~, but that is clearly better. Look at how much nicer it looks. There are even tildes. You know you love you some tildes.
3. Oh XMFC, I already have the Smallville Problem with you, but I am starting to get the Servalan Problem as well, on top of all your other problems. Why won't you just let me love you. I only want your love, and also your pornography and pictures of James McAvoy (same thing).
4. Did you know that there are only six Pietro/Wanda stories at the AO3? Among those, I wrote two of them (one of them, a 1602 fic, has an unfinished sequel that I should have posted, uh, like six years ago now), three of them are Clint/Pietro/Wanda, and one of them is a crackfic where it's a joke amongst the characters. Seriously, you guys, not only is this a canon pairing, I know more people than this ship it. Get on the stick. ETA: Wait, no, I can't read. There are two Clint/Pietro/Wanda stories and an Evo story that's just straight up and down Pietro/Wanda. So we do have that going for us. Which is nice.
There are also no Johnny/Sue stories, but that is a rather hilarious problem thatarymabeth and I have (you see, we both grew up watching the 90's cartoon, and they have the same last name, so we both separately made the assumption they were married, and now we can't un-ship it). But once again, I know other people ship it. I have talked to them about it.
3. Today was completely fucking awful, flist, but this has turned out to be an amusingly grumpy entry, so I will detail it somewhere else, if I do, in fact, detail it at all, to prevent the massive mood whiplash.

3. What is the Smallville Problem??
4. How is that even possible?! There needs to be a Team Rocket pastiche of Pietro/Wanda. I'm just saying.

Date: 2012-03-14 02:37 am (UTC)She and Nicholas Hoult are fairly fucking adorable. There is no bad here. I had a comment about how I prefer the people that I like to be treated fictionally, in terms of who they should be paired with, but it sounded, like, waaaay creepier typed out than it did in my head. So just know that it ended with "like a joint."
3. The Smallville Problem is when I end up in a fandom where there is one ENORMOUS slash pairing and, occasionally, one HUGE het pairing. But invariably I end up in some incredibly tiny het pairing where it's me and six other people. In Smallville it was Clex (fucking smush names again) vs. Lex/Lana, in Inception it was Arthur/Eames vs. Eames/Ariadne, and now it's Charles/Erik vs. fucking anything else.
This is not nearly as bad in XMFC than in Inception or Smallville, because I love me the hell out of some Charles/Erik. In Inception and Smallville both, I actively disliked the slash pairing involved (even though they were totally doing it), so it was much worse. Unfortunately, in all of these, including XMFC, it often involves mistreatment or ignoring of the ladies I love (yes, that includes Lana, who nobody in the whole fandom liked except the Lex/Lana and Chlana shippers, including the Clana shippers), up to and including the fridge.
This always ends with me alternately shouting THERE IS LIFE OUTSIDE YOUR APARTMENT, GUYS and making Forever Alone faces. Because it's not legit to get pissed when someone doesn't read your stories because they don't involve their pairing- because you don't read their stories- but it also sucks when everybody else gets to massively squee together and you're like, "Hey, hey guys, I... I made this thing? :D? :D? ...D:"
Obvs I have my friends to keep me warm. But that doesn't stop it from sucking and being sad.
...Reading back over this like an hour later, it occurs to me that we might have already talked about this on the tumblr. But I have a REALLY hard time remembering what I said to whom, even in RL.
4. I KNOW, RIGHT. Even from what little I know of Team Rocket, that seems like the best idea ever.
