Clint/Coulson & Arthur/Eames

[anonymouslyyours]

Would you say there is an overlap between their shippers?

Re: Clint/Coulson & Arthur/Eames

[forgottenjester]

There might be.

I'm not one, seeing as I've never seen Inception.

But why would there be more overlap with these two ships as opposed to any others?

Re: Clint/Coulson & Arthur/Eames

[anonymouslyyours]

Eh, just a random thought really.

I was reading someone's ramblings about how they didn't get the appeal of Clint/Coulson. And all I really had was them being competent badasses with blank slate backgrounds of straight-laced and snarky and I thought "Hey, that sounds like Arthur/Eames,". Just wondering if the dynamic attracted a lot of the same shippers or if they're mostly separate.

Re: Clint/Coulson & Arthur/Eames

[forgottenjester]

Oh no, I get that.

Blank slates are fun to play with because fandom can make them whoever they want. You put two blank slates together in a relationship and you have a collective of that fandom's fantasies. Makes sense to me.

Huh. I never could understand the Clint/Coulson shipping... but this kinda makes sense. You may be onto something!

Re: Clint/Coulson & Arthur/Eames

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a Clint/Coulson fan and I actually have noticed an overlap, especially among the tumblr fans. It amuses me because I was once pretty vocally mystified by the Arthur/Eames thing, but now I...can't really say anything about it, so.

Re: Clint/Coulson & Arthur/Eames

[darkmanifest]

If so, I have no idea why. I ship Arthur/Eames for lots of reasons and see few or none of those reasons in Clint/Coulson (I find Clint/Fury closer to what I like about Arthur/Eames). Like you said above, seems like the only similarities between the two pairings are Snarky Blank Slate Badasses.

Re: Clint/Coulson & Arthur/Eames

I only ship Clint/Coulson, but then I was never that into Inception in the first place? I usually go for pairings with side characters, though; I was all up in Alex/Hank and Alex/Darwin in XMFC.

Re: Clint/Coulson & Arthur/Eames

[(Anonymous)]

I like both, and I've noticed some overlap.

I never really thought about Clint/Coulson until a friend of mine in the Inception fandom recced a fic with that pairing. I felt like I was missing out on the Avengers fandom because I didn't ship anyone after seeing the movie. Problem solved.

The way some people write these pairings, with Arthur and Coulson being uptight suit-wearing badasses, and Clint and Eames being the cocky, flirtatious, yet somehow insecure, pining muscle-men... you could probably just substitute names and be reading the same damn (really, really hot) porn.

I like some of the fic, because I enjoy the dynamics, and there is so much UST fic for these guys which I love. I think most of the similarities pop up where there are giant gaping holes in the canon that people want to fill with id-fic.
