Meme thieving time!

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

I think you guys can guess pretty well what I know, and if I don't know the fandom, I will totally make some up. John Sheppard does not love Rodney; his true love is a piece of cheese!

Princess Tutu! (Are there any unpopular opinions in that fandom? I mean, my experience has been lurking, but it seems to be pretty friendly and snugly.)

*SPOILERS LURK IN THIS COMMENT*

From my experience thus far the Princess Tutu LJ comm has been kind of amazingly wankless - well, maybe not amazingly given its relatively small size, but friendly and snugglyness does seem to be the norm.

Uh, so anyway I will give some opinions! Possibly they will be disagreed with by somebody . . .?

1. Rue is an awesome and fascinating character! This is not an opinion I have ever really seen someone disagree with, although I understand that there are a lot of Rue-bashing fics out there somewhere, which makes me very sad. Fortunately they're not in my corner of the internet and therefore I can pretend they don't exist.

2. However, I also believe that post-canon Rue and Mytho is in no way a happy-ever-after kind of relationship. I mean, the series pretty explicitly says that Mytho still has raven's blood hanging out in his veins at the end, and Rue obviously does too. Put two raven-infected people together to form a support group, and what you are probably going to get is a lot of really unhealthy codependence and emotional abuse. Which is not to say I don't ship it, because I totally do - I kind of think the fact that it's so messed up makes it extra interesting to consider.

3. But my secret confession is that even though I totally ship Rue/Mytho, and also think postseries Pique/Autor would be awesome, I kind of ship Rue/Autor even though I can't see how it would ever actually work.

4. Pique is the sanest person in Kinkan Town.

2. Part of me finds that rather badass, and also calls to mind many potentially crazy shenanigans~

3. You're probably not the first to think that. (Not that I ship Mytho/Fakir or Ahiru/Rue a little bit. Because I don't. ......*cough* Nope. >_>; *whistles*)

2. I have to admit, I occasionally have a little bit of a thing for crazy, ridiculous mutually destructive relationships. >.> One of these days I will make a post about it!

3. Oh, dude, I ship them all. OT4! Add in Autor and it makes OT5! I just didn't think shipping Mytho/Fakir or Ahiru/Rue was that unpopular. :D

2. Bet you could get some wicked fic out of it ^-^

3. .................

2. It always confuses me when people say theirs was this perfect happily-ever-after situation. I've always thought of their ending as somewhat bittersweet; they have each other, but each other may not be the thing that both of them really need. If that made sense at all.

3. Autor/Rue is one of my guiltier guilty-pleasure ships.

What they both really need is a lot of therapy! Sadly this seems like it will be hard to come by in the world of the story . . . .

Princess Tutu turns me into such a multishipping lunatic. It is very hard!
