june something?
I've seen a couple of people on DW posting this, and it seems like a pleasant way to try to engage more on DW, so: June Something prompt list.
Day 1: What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?
*flails in general direction of Old Guard*
I mean, so. That. New fandom hitting HARD out of freaking nowhere that now consumes all my waking hours. It's not surprising, really -- this is how I fall in love with fandoms, suddenly and hard. But definitely didn't see this one coming. I have mixed feelings about the fandom at large, because BOY HOWDY does it conceal a level of toxicity I've managed to avoid in most of my previous fandoms. But I'm here for the fic, and know how to ignore most of the Discourse (TM), and that suffices.
Day 2: You've got your OTP, you have to throw a third into the mix (from the same fandom), creating an OT3. Who is the OTP, and in your opinion, why would they make a perfect third for them? Bonus question: What about adding a third to your OTP from a different fandom? Who and why?
Hrm. I'm gonna bypass Old Guard for this one, because I don't particularly like the options for creating an OT3 with Joe/Nicky as the base pairing. Andy would be my choice if pressed, but I really do read both of those men as gay (which, y'know, is extremely canon, though I very much respect headcanoning them as bi/pan), so that doesn't quite sit right; FUCK Booker, I do not want that dude involved.
So give me Steve/Bucky instead and I have a MULTITUDE of options for the perfect triad. Peggy, obviously, right off the bat; she and Steve complement each other so well (and their love is very real), and I think she and Bucky share a certain dark-edged pragmatism that helps to balance Steve's...everything. So WWII-era, that's the OT3. Modern era, either Sam or Nat (or BOTH, why limit ourselves to a triad once poly is in the mix?). Barbershop quartet all the way. Any configuration of those four pleases me greatly. This entry was originally posted on Dreamwidth. Comment wherever you'd like.
