Re: Trends

[philstar22]

So, not a general fandom trend per say. But in the Tolkien fandom, overall takes on the Melkor/Sauron ship tend to swing back and forth from super abusive all the way to super fluffy. I tend to be in the evil villains but also love each other camp.

Right now, I think mainly due to that one line in Rings of Power, the more abusive side seems to be more dominant. Which I'm not a fan of at all. I hope things swing back towards the middle soon.

Also, Galadriel/Sauron has become popular. Which amuses me as I used to crack-ship it. I don't ship it in Rings of Power, though. And I find many of the current takes are so generic het, which just robs all the interest out of the ship for me.

Honestly, I just really am not a fan of generic het. It is what ruined the Rey/Kylo ship for me as well. I was into the ship for a while. Still kind of ship it. But for me the dynamic would be where she's very much the lead. And I found I didn't like most of the takes on the characters in the fics I was reading. And was just really bored. So I don't read the ship anymore.

Honestly, I mostly just don't like dynamics that feel OOC to me. IC can make even tropes I usually hate work for me. But if it feels OOC, I'm out of there.
