Fucking finally done, eleven years after the first time I tried to write this pairing in another larger crackship fic and it never left me. I may do a commentary on this later cuz I had a blast trying to nail this ship just to say I frigging did it xD

Apologies for the two different fonts. I copied and pasted the fic and the other info from two different places and I don't see a way to change the font besides trying to sort through the HTML soup.

Are We Doing This? I think we are

It's the year of our lord 2019 and almost ten years to the day after this post, I finally about 95 percent done with a fic for this ship. I won't lie, part of me is legit scared to post it because of the festering shit hole fandom has turned into over this kind of ship which is why I didn't post this on Tumblr (although I've vauged about the fic itself)

OTOH...is there age discourse to be had in Bleach of all fandoms? There aren't even any consistent aging rules within the universe. In looking up some info I found out Byakuya is somehow closer in age to Hitsugaya than his own Vice-Captain. WTH. And I'm sorry but when all the Soul Reapers are pushing 100+ on the younger end and there's been every combination of Ichigo with half the Seireitei I'm not quibbling about the five year age difference because this human/Shinigami pairing involves one of his sisters. Antis can die mad.

On a related and less salty note, I dipped my toes into the HitsuKarin tags... I'm not the biggest fan of that pairing, but it makes up 80 percent of all Karin centric content so whaddyagunnado, right? But I came across a very interesting trend: namely that in the rare instance that there's ever a spoiler between then, it's always Renji.

Every.
Fucking.
Time.

Even in this fic in which Seireitei is the name of a host club (legitimate one of three AUs in any fandom I've enjoyed, which is more astonishing), Karin's initial choice was "Baboon King" and I died at that host name because dude...come on xD

Even more WTF: The other salt post

My first fandom experience was with Star Trek Enterprise: a show I got into in part because every other premiere that season was pushed back because of 9/11 and mostly for the crush on the nerdy guy in school.

For the sake of brevity I won't wax nostaligic about how it was my gateway into fanfic, the friends I've made or how i ended up giving the rest of Trek that my aunt foist upon me after school a fair shake because of it.I will say that the show was not without it's flaws but still it had a dedicated, if wanky and ship-frenzied fanbase that enjoyed it for what it was. Borg episodes, Freudian slips, decon chamber and all.

And then the finale happened. Oh, boy.

It was, to be short, a clusterfuck. Theres a link to read up on that, but I'll cut to what irked most fans: Trip Tucker's stupid, needless death for manufactured angst. He was the fan favorite by a long shot, had finally gotten with his own alien girlfriend in the previous episode after an entire season of will they/won't they after they'd done the do the season before. It was so out of character with his jumpiness and all for some speech the captain needed to make. Like I said, this is the clif notes version (and Zarabitha will be by to confirm all of this is truth).

To say it was poor received is to call a cat 5 hurricane a light sprinkle. Fans who'd only ever watched this version of Trek felt betrayed...like their viewership didn't matter to two producers living out their glory days from The Next Generation, whose characters were the actual star of this episode. And this was after we'd seen Trip dig himself out of his anger after his sister died, watched him suffer as his love interest entered a marriage obligation, and then lose their cloned baby.

Trip wasn't even my fave, but even I was pissed with his fans. Most refused to ever invest in another Trek series again, but there were a number who only like he was dead to get their own ship, to my embarrassment. For YEARS, both sides of the ship war accused the other of trolling or whining until us original run rans eventually fucked off to other fandoms.

So that is one helluva achievement to get both sides of an equally ship passionate fanbase--one of which has been notorious throughout an entire blogging platform for inappropriate behavior and trolling the other rival ship--to say "What kind of shit is this?!" in a decision that will leave VLD as the HIMYM of modern children's TV.
( But hey, the ending got antis and Sheith fans to unite against staff! Its a Chrismas miracle! *facepalm* ))

Boy, that finale though: the VLD Season 8 Sheith Salt Post

Anyone know how to turn that off? I'm looking through settings and I can't seem to figure this out, or even how that got turned on in the first place, because I never had that set on LJ when I imported this journal originally.

*looks around* Hey, this place seems pretty nice. I wonder why we didn't move here before 😆

So, I'm here....sorta. I'll be splitting fandom time between here and Pillowfort and I'll see where the chips lie

So for my muturals that made the jump here before it was cool: what's new in Bleach fandom?
