Canon Ships and Me

Jan 07, 2011 00:56

If a ship is canon, I generally tend to ignore it. This means that a lot of het ships get little attention from me, because in my fandoms, most canon ships are het ships. This doesn't meant that I don't like them, I just don't really read or want to write fic about them. Why? Here's where things get a little complicated. You see, I usually, for ( Read more... )

We totally are on the same wavelength because I'm the exact same about canon ships (except K/S, of course :P) I had a friend who was surprised I'd never read Brian/Justin fic as I read a lot of other fic, but come on, it's even better than fic because it's canon slash and there's sex, so I don't even have to turn to fic for porn!

and it really makes me sad and rage-y when any K/S fic that mentions T'Pring/Stonn brushes them off by portraying them as an evil bitch and a conniving asshole boyfriend, but that's a whole other issue

I hate this too. Come on, she doesn't even know Spock really and she's just fighting for the guy she really wants. It's Vulcan society that's the enemy, the adherence to an illogical tradition for the sake of order. I mean, "property of the victor?" I'd be worse than T'Pring ever was if someone asked that of me.

BUILT-IN PORN, FTW! I remember watching QaF in the living room late at night after my parents went to sleep, hoping they wouldn't stumble in to see what I was watching. I'm sure the most I would've gotten from them would have been a O.o look, but still. Awkward ^.^;;

IKR? I love Vulcan, but they have some fucked-up policies. Which just makes them that much more fun to read and write about ^.^ But OH! I just read up on her on Memory Alpha, and holy shit. The crap they put her through in novels and comics just makes me rage. And from D.C. Fontana, too! D: But then I saw this:

"T'Pring also appears in the third issue of the Spock: Reflections comic series. Unlike earlier non-canon portrayals, the character is shown in a much more positive light: she has a friendly meeting with Spock soon after his return to Vulcan to begin kohlinar training, accurately predicting that he would not find peace on Vulcan, which he never would've left if what he sought was there (responding to Spock's statement that she barely knows him by saying that ( ... )
