I agree with what you're saying, but you do realize that fandom's obsession with white cock is kind of a thing (see Agent Coulson? from the Avengers and other bland white male characters with limited roles that fandom obsesses over)

[(Anonymous)]

DA

That's not all that common though, is it? I mean, I know Clint/Coulson gets pulled out every time this discussion happens, but isn't a pairing like that (very little canon interaction) getting so popular somewhat unusual? *shrugs* I don't know, maybe it's not. I won't claim to have encyclopedic knowledge of all the popular pairings in all the fandoms. :)

Arthur/Eames is another one that comes to mind

[(Anonymous)]

I never did get around to watching Inception. Wasn't that as much about the actors playing the characters as the characters themselves?

[(Anonymous)]

They both got (really) popular from that movie, so it really wasn't about the actors themselves.

[(Anonymous)]

*at least in fandom, especially Tom Hardy

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my god, this, the blandest most popular pairing of all time. You know it only gets shipped because of white cock.

[(Anonymous)]

I think a lot of it comes from the "darling" thing and the fact that fandom has always been into the "opposites attract" trope. Arthur is kind of stuffy (well, that's how fandom portrays him usually anyway. He didn't seem nearly as uptight in the film as most fic portrays him as imo) and Eames seems has a bit of a devil may care attitude so I'm not really surprised that the pairing got a lot of attention. I'll admit that I didn't expect it to become as huge as it did though.

Still a mega pairing where the two characters didn't even do much and only exchanged like two lines in canon. Power of the white cock tbh. (Clint/Coulson is another example. Literally had to get a fan to point out to when the two even actually had a scene together in canon.)

[(Anonymous)]

Arthur/Eames is an interesting case. It seems to me that a new fandom, especially a movie fandom, is often like a supersaturated solution: ready to form crystals but not quite doing it yet. Drop in a single seed crystal and BANG, the structures snap into place moving outward from that point.

With Inception, I think there was a lot of inchoate enthusiasm about the film, and then a couple well-known fans did a couple popular fics that were Arthur/Eames, and BANG, the fandom crystallized. Had those fics been, say, Cobb/Eames, I think we'd have seen a million bloody coffeehouse AUs and everything else where Cobb and Eames slog their way through the same old tropes.

[(Anonymous)]

That's purely hypothetical...
It's more likely that if either Arthur or Eames hadn't been white, the popularity of that pairing would have never taken off. Seriously, fangirls would just fawn over JGL and Tom Hardy in ways that only bland white actors could be fawned over.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

Well, of course it's only because they're white, that's a given. I'm saying WHICH pretty-white-boy ship becomes the fandom juggernaut seems to follow a pattern similar to a supersaturated solution. Sorry I wasn't clear.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, sorry
