yuri introspection!

inspired by sleepyshamrocks 's own post.

1. First time you encountered canon femslash

   1. definitely when i was young, and super into the last of us. ellie and riley’s story really stuck with me and that was my first, like, real encounter with femslash in any medium. then after that i got really media that included femslash, like carmilla, the 100, different books.

2. First time you encountered femslash shipping

   1. it was because of vocaloid, specifically the song magnet. miku/luka was such a huge yuri ship in the fanbase and so that was one of my first encounters that i had with femslash.

3. Is femslash the main part of your fandom life?

   1. yes. everything is yuri in my eyes, and if it’s not there i simply create it. i find writing about femslash much more fun than writing about regular slash.

4. Have you already started a canon just because you knew there would be femslash shipping opportunities?

   1. of course. who hasn’t? the shows that would have this would mainly be on the cw, so supergirl, riverdale, the 100, etc. 

5. Canon, subtext, or make-everything-work-by-yourself ships?

   1. all of it. okay but seriously, i love when things happen in the media, so basically a slow burn in the media will always be so good. i find that shipping characters that aren’t together yet is more interesting than shipping a canon couple? for example, my favorite yellow jackets ship is jackieshauna, although taivan is great as well. 

6. A femslash ship you feel like you're alone in shipping

   1. another yellowjackets ship, i like the idea of mari/lottie a lot. there’s something there, and i would love more people to explore that however everyone thinks mari is going to be pit girl….

7. Did you see a change in femslash fandom since the time you started fandom?

   1. more people are pretty loud about femslash these days, but there hasn’t been like, an intense change?

8. Some femslash poly ships? What are your opinions about f/f/m poly?

   1. i don’t like poly ships for anything. f/f/m sounds like a nightmare oh my gosh…

9. Do you feel like shipping femslash is different from shipping slash, het or other? How?

10. Favourite tropes for femslash ships?

    1. i love toxic best friends who are obsessed with each other and it’s just homoerotic and insane. i also love the idea of boyfriend envy. i also adore the idea of enemies to lovers of course, whatever catradora had going on was just so perfect to me. 

11. Fluff, humor, angst, or smut?

    1. angst with a happy ending over everything. added bonus if there is smut. fluff is nice too, i don’t really care for humor.

12. Are there some m/m or m/f ships that you love genderswapped as f/f?

    1. i’m super into nct dream so i love making their ships femslash, because why not? everything femslash is perfect. 

13. Did you already write original femslash? If so, what was it about? If not, what would it be about if you did? If you would never, why?

14. Favorite femslash ship of all times

    1. i like jackieshauna so much.

    2. i also like ships like catradora, wenclair, rhaenicent, fuffy. i have so many i’m probably not listing. avatrice is so good as well, villaneve, jade/tori is also a recent indulgence i have. 

15. A guilty pleasure

    1. i can’t say.

16. A fandom where I have so many femslash ships

    1. yellowjackets is definitely the top fandom these days for my femslash desires. i would could kpop girl groups as well!

17. A femslash pairing I like on principle without even being in the fandom

    1. hizzie from legacies, i’ve seen the edits and i like what they have.

18. A character I headcanon as lesbian/wlw without having big ships with her

    1. even if i didn’t ship rhaenicent, i would headcanon rhaenyra is a lesbian for sure. also i liked imagining octavia from the 100 is a lesbian too. 

19. Rec day! Canon or fics, as long as it's femslash! Or even shippable!

    1. i’ll drop four long ones

       1. tori vega is a virgin who can't drive

       2. wander your own land
          

       3. I feel more free than I have in years (six feet in the ground)
          

       4.  of greater marvels yet to be

20. Do you like your femslash homophobia-free?

    1. sure it’s nice! 

21. Thoughts about lesbian tragedy and bad endings?

22. Thoughts about (purely fictional!) lesbian unhealthy relationships?

    1. excellent, perfect, give me more.

23. Historical, fantasy or sci-fi? (or, if none of the above, what and why?)

    1. all of it, but i love a good historical lesbian piece. it’s always so good.

24. A time where a canon really surprised you, in a good (and femslash) way

    1. warrior nun was super engaging and good, i enjoyed it and think about it a lot.

25. A time where a canon really disappointed you (in a femslash or lack of femslash way)

    1. supergirl….

26. What do you love the most, and what do you love the least, about femslash fans?

    1. i think that when it comes to femslash fans, they somehow make the most toxic and also respectful environment ever.
