I agree. Especially about Darcy (I didn't like her in canon and hoped that fic would make her less annoying. Nope.)

heh, Darcy was one of the three characters I did like in canon and I wished she'd done more. Maybe I should check out the fandom, then.

This. I think a lot of fans project on Darcy because of her body type so it's easily to "relate" to her.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-11 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's more the snarky one liners and the taser thing that make them relate. They just want to be her.

[personal profile] anonymouslyyours 2012-06-11 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
And by body type you mean? I don't really know many people with Kat Denning's shape. It's pretty special.

I have to admit to being very confused when I surfed Thor or Avengers fan fiction and saw so many pairings containing Darcy. It made me scratch my head. I can't quite wrap my head around her character's appeal, but to each his/her own, I guess.

tbh while looking through Avengers fic I've been surprised to see multiple Bruce/Darcy things out there.

They're pretty much horrible self inserts.

I like Darcy because, yeah, she may seem pretty self-insert, but that's what she is in canon, too. And sometimes that's fun.

And I ship Clint/Darcy because a) Jeremy Renner is a hotass, b) Darcy is cute(to me), and c) there are not enough ~happy~ het fics in the Marvel Movie Verse. Clint/Natasha is my hot-headboard-banging-emotional-issues-out-the-wazzo ship, and Clint/Darcy is my awwww-so-cute-fluffy ship.

Yeah, I think the relatability thing has a lot to do with it. Coulson's pretty much a canon fangirl in Avengers.

LOL it reminds me of HP fandom before we knew Blaise Zabini was a girl, along with the mentions of Arabella Figg (preOotP) and Dorcas Meadows, two girls who had steaming hot affairs with the Marauders and ran around with Lily Evans, forming their OWN group of 'mauraders' who were actually MUCH COOLER AND WAY MORE CLEVER than the actual Marauders.

... Did you mean before we knew Blaise Zabini was a boy, by any chance?

LOL yes to all of this (except for the comment above mentioning that Blaise is actually a black boy in canon, not a Sue-ish girl). I laughed so much at all the people who gussied up Arabella Figg before the 5th book, only to find she's actually an old squib who smells like cat pee.

I wish people would stop wishing that others stop liking things they don't like.

I agree.

But Darcy can cure Loki with the power of love (and so can you!)

(Anonymous) 2012-06-11 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
OMFG! Thank you! If I see one more Darcy hanging with the Avengers and being snarky and perfect and loved by everyone fic, I will cut a bitch! Coulson, hasn't seemed as bad to me, but then I've been avoiding all the damn Coulson/Hawkeye bullshit.

[personal profile] luxshine 2012-06-11 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
This. It's particularly bothersome when you click on a fic labeled with a different pairing and it's all Darcy being perfect and adorable and the pairing you clicked the story for is barely mentioned at all in the background.

I just wish I could find some good Darcy/Fandral fic. @__@ I CAN'T be the only one who saw him kiss her hand toward the end of Thor and went, "D'aww..."

(Anonymous) 2012-06-11 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
I agree so much it hurts, I have nothing against these characters but come on! stop you are making me loathe these characters

(Anonymous) 2012-06-11 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Late to the party, but I was reading this fic (http://archiveofourown.org/works/411604?view_adult=true&view_full_work=true) looking for the Tony/Bruce, and was so confused when it was ALL ABOUT DARCY and her perfectness. I should have read the notes, where the author basically admits it's a self-insert.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-11 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Weirdly, fandom's obsession with Coulson is making me start to hate him, but I'm entirely on board with fandom's obsession with Darcy.

I think it's because 'unassuming white dude with badass skills' is a character I get to see quite a lot (for example, I love Peter Burke from White Collar), so I don't feel the need to add more of that character than the canons I like already give me, whereas I don't often get to see female characters allowed to be total dorkasaurs, especially not in action-y films, so I kind of do want more Darcy all the time.
