This is why kink memes are sometimes best avoided. If you don't like the most popular pairing (or most popular pairings) then you're going to have a bad time. (For instance, I feel sorry for anyone in the X-Men fandom who doesn't ship Charles/Erik.) I don't bother with MCU kink memes anymore because Steve/Tony does nothing for me, and while I like Thor/Loki almost every one of the prompts I read at norsekink back in the day was not my thing, and I have no real desire to go back.

AO3 is where it's at, imo. So much easier to find what you want.

I'm love X-Men, but surprising I don't ship Charles/Erik, possibly because I was into the fandom waaay before the movies and they were just old dudes to me.

That being said, the pairing doesn't bother me, though. I can see why people ship it. And there's a lot of X-men fic anyway.

Haha, I've shipped old dudes before so maybe that helps. Even in the first films I shipped them, though there wasn't near as much fic back then.

That's true! There's plenty of other characters in the X-Men universe, it's just the movieverse fandom has kind of latched onto Charles/Erik and isn't letting go.

it wasn't quite as bad with wolverine/rogue during the x1/x2 days, but it WAS very popular, juggernaut pairing of the early days of the franchise for sure.

i don't know if they intend to bring quicksilver back for apocalypse (they probably are, considering how popular he turned out to be), but i think if they add a couple of young actors to specifically play off him, there'll be more shipping diversification.

Awww, Wolverine/Rogue. I'm not even into that pairing but part of me thinks it's adorable. (To be fair I don't enthusiastically ship Wolverine with anyone, so it isn't personal. And I even like him, just not always how much time the movieverse spends on him.)

Don't get me wrong though, I admit that I'm a massive Charles/Erik fan and enjoy that so many other people love them as well, but even with them being my OTP I wouldn't mind if there were other ships around. I've read a couple good Charles/Hank, and I quite liked Alex/Armando in FC, but that didn't take off, then...things happened.

From what I've heard Peter IS coming back and he's going to have a larger role. I'm all for it, but then again I fell for his charm too. (Right now I don't care about shipping him, but if he has scenes with someone in Apocalypse I bet there will be fic.)

This, pretty much. I'm usually lucky enough to like the popular pairing(or one of the popular pairings at least) in most fandoms I'm in but I have been in fandoms where that's not been the case, and while it was annoying there was nothing I could do about it so I just stopped going to the kinkmemes.

Norsekink is an... interesting place(I found some fic I liked there but I did mostly just stick to the completed fills page and read my way through that).

Yea, I've been lucky with shipping as well. More often than not I do like the popular pairing. Guess I'm just predictable, but it works out for me in the end!

Though I have been on the 'almost no one else likes this' side of things as well, and when that happens I usually don't spend much time in the fandom.

If I spend enough time on a kink meme, I eventually start to like the most popular pairing and/or kinks. It's like a fandom defense mechanism. XD

lmao, I feel like this is probably the best way to be in fandom! Not everyone could manage it, but it must make your experience all the more delightful!
