F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

One of the actors who plays one of the characters ships it?

Y CHOSE X.

In 160+ YEARS, EVERYONE ELSE HAS ALWAYS CHOSEN X'S BROTHER OVER X - EVEN X'S OWN FATHER - BUT Y CHOSE X DESPITE EVERYTHING THAT X HAS DONE TO HIM. BECAUSE Y DIED IN X'S ARMS, WHILE X WAS CRYING OVER HIM, DESPITE Y BECOMING A VICIOUS MONSTER WHO HATED EVERYTHING X WAS BY THE END. BECAUSE AS HE WAS DYING, HE SOUNDED FRIGHTENED AND REACHED FOR HIS FRIEND, DESPITE THEM NEVER BEING TACTILE AND HUGGY.

God, I've depressed myself again.

Y has every reason to hate X. Y slept with, then turned X's wife into a monster. X has killed him a couple of times (magic macguffin ensures Y can't die for good - til it started malfunctioning and he did, sort of). Y came to find X to kill him, to get his revenge and instead they ended up becoming friends. They realise they're not so different, not really. They're both still obsessed with the woman who broke their hearts. Both of them could probably use a friend. (Doesn't stop their first 'date' from ending with Y punching X in the face).

X doesn't get close to anyone. He's been around a long time and he's never had a friend. He's had all an consuming love, has used a lot of people to get what he wants, but never just had a friend, not til Y came along. He confides in Y (off screen, first mentioned during Y's death scene, which just made me cry even harder), he trusts him (which he only admits after 2.5 seasons), he actually keeps him out of dangerous situations to protect him despite the fact he could handle himself. I imagine X would be happy watching the world fall apart, so long as Y was still at his side. X still doesnt have anyone else, bar his brother and the woman they're both in love with, but even then he doesn't have the same kind of honest connection with them. Y does though. Y has a 'family' of sorts, he's loved by everyone in this little town, yet more often than not, he's still at X's side.

Their friendship is never really easy, half the time they don't even appear to like the other but they also fiercely love one another. Y is the only person who will tell X that he's being an idiot, yet back him up all the way if that's what he needs. They had a massive falling out in season three after X did something stupid (and viciously OOC), and they were pining, to the point other characters were pointing it out. X was uncharacteristically meek and apologetic towards Y thinking that would fix things, Y was acting like a dumped boyfriend. It was heartbreaking - didn't trust the writers to fix it tbh - but so cute. Then when they did become friends again, they went right back to being snarky and fun again.

I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS FOR THESE TWO BUT NOT A LOT OF FIC AND ONE PIECE OF FANART.

LOL I know this ship. X is not the woobie you make him out to be.

He so is.

No, X is a prick. It's part of why I love him so much (nothing better than a good baddie), but Y brings out the best in him. When he's not snapping his neck.

I always thought the neck-snapping was super in character. X pitches hissy fits when he doesn't get his way.

I think it was IC for him in season one, maybe even season two. During season three though, it just felt out of place to me. They'd moved past that. He called him his brother a few episodes prior. It just seemed like an excuse to kill Y to move forward the plot about his macguffin malfunctioning.

I know who you're talking about! And yes, I couldn't agree with you more in regards to pretty much everything. I wish there were more fics, dammit!

...And hey, I didn't know one of the actors ship it! IS or MD? Would love a link, if it's from an interview or something!

I'm not the person you're responding to, but I think I know what you're talking about, and I would guess not IS since he's supposedly pretty homophobic.

Wow, really? I didn't know that... kinda makes me sad, as what little I do know about IS was really positive (cares about animals, and so on).
