FANDOM! KERFLUFFLE! WANK! BOREDOM!
So, there is apparently a new kerfluffle in the Harry Potter fandom. I think there's a new one every week. I'm not linking because, seriously, I've seen it I think 5 times already. It's all anyone was talking about while I was pushing my nephew's stroller through the crowded mall. I think I had more fun.
If you ignore them and do not play their RPG or give them attention by pointing out the insensitivity, they will decide no one cares and that it was a bad idea and go away.
However. I AM BORED.
The following is purely the product of a bored brain stuck in the empty half of a large building on a pleasant Texas Saturday. You have warned.
Therefore, I shall attempt to address the wank of two fandoms I hang out on the edges of.
First of all, there's Supernatural and Jo. I have not yet seen s3, so I got nothin' on Bela and Ruby. HOWEVER! I have come up with a solution to the objections to Jo's...well, existing in the first place.
Jo is John's daughter.
Indeed. Now, imagine right after Mama Winchester died, John met Ellen and Papa Harvelle. John's in a bad place, what with the whole "a demon killed the love of my life and wants my infant son" thing, Ellen has a husband always off hunting demons. It writes itself. AMIRITE? I am, aren't I. This, of course, is the reason Ellen REALLY objected to Jo being off with the boys.
Sure, all the Dean/Jo and Sam/Jo shippers will kinda be screwed, but Jo would no longer be a threat or potential love interest and the fans would no longer have an objection. Plus, most of the fandom is into Wincest already. If you still want to ship, it would just be a new kind.
Then there's Avatar. Now, Avatar has its massive Katara/Aang faction and its massive Katara/Zuko faction. Never the twain shall meet. Somewhere in there, there's the Mai/Zuko shippers also poking their heads out. And I'm sure there's also this poor little Zuko/Aang faction too scared to stick its head out. But basically, the Zuko/Katara/Aang thing rules the fandom.
But I have had a revelation. Katara is not Aang's love interest. Mai is not Zuko's love interest. The truth is that Aang and Zuko are merely red herrings. In the end, it shall be revealed that the true OTP of the show is Katara/Mai.
Zuko and Aang will last be seen with their mouths hanging open. The internet will explode. That, or the fans' heads will explode when it happens. The Zuko/Aang shippers will finally be brave enough to stick their heads out. The Katara/Zuko, Katara/Aang and Mai/Zuko fans will never recover. Did I mention it will overload the entire internet?
Uhm. yes.
And now that I have entertained myself for 20 minutes, I will shut up and go away.
I did warn you that I was bored...
