OP, do you mean one RPF couple made the list for the first time? Because I see Stray Kids and Seventeen RPF.

And BTS.

[just444]

the list maker has them under band, not RPF? which is an own category on ao3

[tigermilk]

Oh weird, I mean, they are real people.

[miss_yuka]

It's a wierd thing where band fandoms weren't under RPF in the beginning and now apparently there's so many fics that moving them would be a huge hassle.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan! I’m still obsessed with MDZS. I tried hard to avoid it but the fanfics are top tier. I never even read the source material, it’s so good.

[war_machine_rox]

Some of the best fics I've ever read are from that fandom. I need to get back into it lol

[quietcake]

Omg let’s trade recs pleaseeeeeee!!!!

[war_machine_rox]

Absolutely. It's been a minute since I've read them so I hope they hold up 😅

I sent you a message

jegulus thriving despite being entirely made up out of thin air, reliant on fancasting and incorrect tumblr quotes only. that fandom is never dying man

[hisjulliet]

So many HP ships in the top 25…like let it go already. Destiel shippers clearly have.

[sillycucumber2]

I still see Kirk & Spock in this list, the fangirls will never die.

[automaticpeople]

*closes all other tabs*

Yeah, it’s really sad.

[alwayspolaris]

Tbf, Kirk and Spock are in a currently airing Star Trek series. Also they are the OG so I'm pretty fine with that lol.

Had to look up Dorcas Meadowes

Dorcas Meadowes (d. 1981) was a witch and member of the original Order of the Phoenix. She fought in the First Wizarding War and before the war ended was murdered by Lord Voldemort personally.

I vaguely remember the tumblr era of fancasting gifs of the marauders and the order of the Phoenix. Had to block the marauders lol God help you if you wanted to look up BinBons.

[just444]

i tried to read up what that couple even is and still don't get it, is it all based on fancasts

[war_machine_rox]

Oh yeah it's a totally made up thing. We literally know nothing about these characters other than they died lmao People just ran with it 10 or so years ago and it basically became fanon.

[just444]

oh weird
