One person makes a pairing. It gets popular. Other people write that pairing.

[(Anonymous)]

Generally the first person to pump out the first dozen fanfics, that aren't drabbles, picks the trend. Or some loudmouthed critics talk about what they assume must be the pairing on their large platform and the herd just assumes they know what they are talking about and follows suit.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's a bit more the chemistry. And then we get into what anons above me mention. Is A flirty with everyone? Is B more reserved? Does C play along? How attractive is the audience finding A, B, or C? Is there an antagonistic relationship between any of them? I think there's a lot of factors that coalesce to form the common ship in fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

It's basically meme characterization.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same, but there are a few pairings that have completely taken over my fandom, which is fine except everyone seems to be actively engaging in a shared delusion that these pairings are obvious and important when they're all tertiary characters in an ensemble cast who maybe exchange two lines over the course of the show. The relationships, and hell, most of their personalities are fanoned out of whole cloth, which is again fine, but the pretense that ~it's practically canon~ feels really fucking silly to me.

[(Anonymous)]

I had this happen in a small fandom I'm in.

The reason why is canon is very scarce on detail intentionally because it's so customizeable. So fanon instantly gets accepted by people because there's literally so little in canon we're dying here.

[(Anonymous)]

Usually it's "there are two moderately-to-very attractive (usually) white guys with very little characterisation" so people use them as dress-up dolls. Which frankly I prefer to people doing the same thing with canon characters. I don't care how much Clint/Coulson glurge is around as long as they're not turning, say, Natasha/Pepper into the same dynamic.

[(Anonymous)]

I see this in Harry Potter fandom. Harry/Daphne Greengrass has a large following. Sirius & Marlene McKinnon as well. I'm guessing blank slates let authors run wild. I prefer this to an OC.

I think this puts into words exactly what is going on

[(Anonymous)]

oh, please. plenty of them are shit movies regardless of whether or not you're in the mood for a mindless blockbuster

[(Anonymous)]

You're missing the part where the people eating the chicken nuggets get mad when you call them chicken nuggets, because for some reason they think they're eating cordon bleu.

[(Anonymous)]

If you want cordon bleu cooking, you need to pay a lot more for it than you do the chicken nuggets. How much are you prepared to pay, per ticket, for non mass produced franchise movies? Put a dollar amount on it.

Opposite, TBH. I've never made a troll secret or even posted a troll comment, but the thought that some of the provocative opinions aren't actually real makes it more fun for me. I find it comforting to know that if someone's opinion is particularly wack, there's a chance it's not even a real opinion.

Now, any time someone's opinion makes me angry or sad, I can just think of it as a social experiment! lol.

It is already hilarious and knowing that makes it more hilarious. Not enough to write the fanfic but I hope it exists out there.

This is why I love the Tolkien fandom. We have everything. Lots of crack, lots of happy, lots of fluff, and lots of smut. But also lots of dark. Very, very dark. It is a really fun fandom.
