Which Queer Ships Could Come True?


5. Emma and Regina, "Once Upon a Time"
While Emma and Regina could unite to create a pretty awesome couple nickname (SwanQueen) at least one of them would have to go through some intense character changes for this ship to make any sense. There just isn't a relationship book that covers how to deal with the fact that your girlfriend wiped your parents' memories, leaving you to grow up an orphan in a world that wasn't your own.


4. Maura and Jane, "Rizzoli and Isles"

It's not that the cop and the coroner wouldn't make a pretty cute couple, it's the show's demographic that makes this ship unlikely to be written in. Bottom line, this is a drama your mom watches, and whil you mom might be cool enough to keep tuning in if Maura and Jane start stealing kisses over the dead bodies, the network probably won't alienated the million moms with two lesbian protagonists


3. Dean and Castiel, "Supernatural"

Looking past any hints that this relationship is going canon in the actual episodes (and there are an endless supply) Destiel will most likely come true, however briefly, just because the writers will fear for their safety from what might be the most rabid group of shippers on the internet.


2. Sleeping Beauty and Mulan, "Once Upon A Time"
They're going to kiss. It's going to happen. Maybe it'll happen in a dream sequence, but the brave rescuer and the girl she's protecting are going to lock lips at some point.



1. Quinn and Rachel, "Glee"
After two and a half seasons of bitter rivalry and a kind of sudden friendship, Quinn and Rachel have one of the more stable relationships on "Glee." No couple is off limits in the world of spontaneous song, and it would be kind of interesting to see a pairing that had a half uninterested in pursuing a life on the stage.

I will never understand why they have such a large following?

I don't see the sexual chemistry.

Two white boys.

Note that the actual canon gay character is completely ignored by fandom.

i'm not going to defend the rabid sterek shippers, but honestly the derek/stiles dynamic of "frenemies" is a popular one with shippers in general

and danny's character has not had any development, which i hope will change in season 3. i would be psyched about danny/stiles but i see the appeal of derek/stiles too.

The lack of his character development has nothing to do with it, lbr. Fans will cling to any background character for whatever reason. He just doesn't fit into their "hot white boys" fantasy.

Idk why I care so much, tbh. I won't be tuning into the show when it comes back, I just really dislike the Sterek fandom and all their bullshit.

That would be Danny, right?

I *think* that's his name, they need to give my little Latino some screen time and a romance, for real tho.

Danny deserves better, imo. I'll be in the corner here shipping Danny and Scott.

Everything you're saying in this thread is so true.
smokesinatra 30th-Jan-2013 03:38 am (UTC)
they look attractive together. I think that's the only thing they have going in canon, that they are both good-looking?? idk I've never quite gotten it either

that being said, the sterek fandom produces some amazing fanfic and fanart and I am not complaining



these gifs going around are gorgeous tbh

We need a Teen Wolf post soon because two writers visited the set today and spilled a few things and they also have interviews coming.

Also, some were wondering if Britt/Dylan were back on or just friends now.

Welcome to the real world. 98% of shippers in general are lonely white females who love fetishizing gay men because they see them as nothing more than an accessory. There is no sexual chemistry between Stiles and Derek, the fans are just insane.

Don't stereotype, boo.
michelleantonia 30th-Jan-2013 10:02 am (UTC)
Idk if that's it... I think it's more festishizing STRAIGHT men acting gay. I'm not sure a lot of these fangirls would be interested if a ship was ever presented as truly realistic, believable gay men in a believable gay relationship. I could be wrong, but that's my suspicion
specialmei 30th-Jan-2013 04:39 am (UTC)
Me neither.
wathsalive 30th-Jan-2013 09:15 am (UTC)
mte. isn't one of them abusive towards the other?
