[nekokoban]

I miss using my journal, guys. :( Which is sad, because I've had longer dry spells than this, but I really want to be posting/writing/etc, I just have a semi-broken keyboard on my home machine plus AUGH PACKING AND CLEANING. Anyone who's talked to me in the past ... month ... has probably gotten an earful and a half of my whining to some degree, whoops. :B

BUT I MISS DOING MEMES AND WRITING AND STUFF and ;o; I want to ask for stuffffff like prompts even though I am notoriously (in my own mind) bad at keeping up with them, and I want to do the meme ganked from rinkhals baby I still have to c/p your new username :( that goes Name a fandom and I'll give you some unpopular opinions about it.

I don't actually. Ship Gwen and Morgana.

Oh, I'm not alone! ♥ I seriously thought I was the only one who didn't think they particularly have a romantic vibe. I loooove their friendship and the platonic-life-partner kind of vibe, but sex, yeah, I thought I was alone in fandom in not thinking that was a factor.

Also, ditto on Merlin not being as clumsy as people portray him in fandom. He is - just not that much. But that's typical of fandom in everything, IMHO - they/we tend to exaggerate traits.

As for Merlin, I think the meta-parallel is there, but I think of it in a "this is something that can be extrapolated from the show so that we think about it" kind of way, not as a "Merlin is gay" kind of way, if that makes sense. I could take or leave the sexual side of his relationship with Arthur - it's faintly possible in my mind that it could turn into that sort of thing at some point, and I have occasionally been known to play it that way, but I think the important part of their relationship is that Arthur is the... quintessential everything, and Merlin's destiny, and Merlin is in love with that. It's like it's this mythic thing that could involve sex, but goes so far beyond it that sex would be purely incidental if it did happen. If that makes any sense.

And Merlin's sexuality, I think Merlin is A Teenager. I would generally make an argument for him being faintly bi, but only because he crushes so hardcore on everyone that he likes - in a sort of non-sexual way. He obviously crushed stupidly on Gwen, so he's clearly not gay, per se, but he was equally agog over Lancelot, and always has his complex love for Arthur, but whether or not that's sexual is a whole other can of worms. Maybe I'm being naive or overly innocent or something, but I don't particularly see his love for any of them being overly sexual. He just loves them, and gets stupid over them, and wants to be near them and help them and all of that. And I think I would honestly be a bit upset if the show were to limit any of those relationships by making them about sex. ...And now I've gone and TL;DR'd all over everything, please excuse me.

...and yes, I would disagree with you over that. Although yours is damned definitely damned adorable, and also absurdly fluffilicious.

Also, I would be interested in literally any opinions you have on Hellboy. I forgot about that when I originally replied to this, and now I am thinking "oh, blast, I neglected an opportunity to ask about that." So I am cheating and asking. Whee.

...ohgod, I have long-weekend-I-don't-want-to-go-back-to-work-itis SO HARDCORE right now. Send help. DX
