now I know my OTPs...
Nov. 3rd, 2006 08:47 amAhhh, I'm trying to catch up on comments, I am! I'm failing a bit? *flails*
But I wanted to throw this out there, since it's been brewing in my head for a while.
OTPs.
In fandom, I've had two big OTPs, and I think I've been spoiled by them, especially when it comes to Ray/Fraser. Watching SGA has been interesting, because I expected something that I haven't quite gotten (yet), in terms of pairings. More than anything, this show is very gen. Even when they're trying to sex it up a bit, it's still gen. Sheppard/Weir is a non-pairing, because there's no chemistry. In fact, as somebody pointed out, there's more chemistry between Sheppard and that mannequin he was (gayly) leaning on, than there is between Sheppard/anybody. (Although, Ronon has enough chemistry to make up for the entire show. I'm pretty sure he IS the SGA sex drive. He's like the id with dreads, or something.) So it's an interesting exercise in how much you see vs. how much you interpret.
Up until a certain point, I was monofannish to the nth degree. Harry Potter, for years and years. Now, I've become open to a lot more fandoms, but I'm still monofannish in a way where I care only about maybe two at most. So, I'm used to a certain kind of dynamic, a certain...willingness of canon to play up to my sick and twisted fantasies.
( Remus and Sirius. )
( Ray and Fraser. )
( John and Rodney. (Plus some other SGA) )
In conclusion, I want more gay on TV? I need to be more flexible?
Hmmm!
(On a totally unrelated note, this morning I was listening to "Million $ Moment" and made a whole SGA vid to it in my head. *claws at brain* Make it stoooooop!)
None of this is meant to offend anyone's fandoms/otp's/anything at all! It's just my rambling on a Friday morning.
ETA: Hey, check out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soupytwist being really smart!
And, okay. Rodney has never called John "John." *awaits*
Another ETA.
Also, wanted to say that this is all just talk of a new person, and I realize that it may come off sounding like I'm all, "my fandom's better than yours" which is not at ALL what I meant to say, at all. I was just thinking out loud. So, um. Keep that in mind. I think SGA is awesome and fun. *slinks off*
