I am having an WHEEEEEEEE OTPs!!!! day. This is always fun! I approve!

*thumbs up*

Obviously, the first otp to come to mind for me is always Fraser and RayK. Because, frankly, I have spent three years of my life now doing very little else but thinking about their true true true love. It has got me this far! I'm not just going to stop now!

Fraser, as you know, is possibly my Favorite Character Ever OMG. And Ray Kowalski! Oh, Ray Kowalski. You're jumpy and testy and asshole-y and sweet and lonely and the opposite of subtle and you are full of hidden depths. When we meet you, you are so in love with your ex-wife it is painful. By Call of the Wild, you are so in love with Fraser that it is still painful, but in a much, much, much happier way, because Fraser loves you back. You are one of his Rays, and he hurts when you hurt, and he pats you on your back and wishes he could make things better for you, so much so that he goes for Bob for advice, which, seriously.

(Will any fandom ever present me with anything that gives me more pure happiness and joy forever than RayK's line to Thatcher about knowing who you are? It's possible -- me and fandom have years in front of us -- but I can literally not imagine it.)

You are my BOYS, my prickly damaged beautiful goofy boys, and I smush you together FOREVER.

F/K is not, however, the only OTP that has been on my mind lately, because I don't know if I've mentioned it in a while? But I really love Farscape. And for all that it's not a primary fandom of mine, I honestly cannot think of any relationship pretty much ever that I am more invested in than John and Aeryn. I am irrational on the subject; I am *this* close to saying MEANT TO BE in all seriousness, but luckily I'm not quite there. There is basically nothing I do not love about them, and they leave me wordless. Just -- John and Aeryn! SMOOCHES. SO MANY SMOOCHES. OTPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.

The thing is, though, that OTP doesn't quite feel like the right word, despite everything I just said, because, well... okay, the thing is, I am a generally monogamous person in pretty much both the literal and metaphorical sense of the word? But with Farscape, how can you not be poly? There is canon text or subtext for pretty much any two non-puppet characters on the show (and sometimes human-puppet pairs, as well). My utter JOHN/AERYN SQUEEEE does not detract at all from the fact that every other pairing in the world is totally there. Even in a fandom like due South, where I do write and enjoy odd pairings at time, I've never been this free of jealousy about it.

In conclusion, Farscape is an orgy. I blame Chiana.

One of the interests I have listed in my profile is "historical aus." When one is scrolling very quickly down the page, it is possible for this to look, for a brief second, like "historical anus."

Finally: See the icon [livejournal.com profile] phineasjones modified for me? I've made it my default for this month; really, it fills me with a strangely intense glee.

I love the end of the scene this is from, where they just don't say anything, and then Aeryn turns away from him, and her SMILE. Oh!

Sadly, nor do I! I have read sadly little Farscape fic, all things considered.

Aeryn/Chiana always makes me think of that season 4 episode with the spider girl. Um, mostly because Chiana totally pushes her up against the wall to hit on her there.

Farscape fic recs can be found at Polyamorous Recs, Bright Shiny Objects, and here and [livejournal.com profile] uncharted_tales. Also CrackVan.

Leviathan is the primary archive, and it carries slash, het, and gen. Writers I recommend one can find there are: Thea, Feldman, Fialka, Maayan, KodiakkeMax, Deneba, Kixxa, Huzzlewhat, David Hearne... oy. Too many to name. There's more than a little good fic out there.

There is not as much Aeryn/Chiana or Jool/Chiana as one would think, but it is out there. [livejournal.com profile] thassalia would know where a lot of the newer stuff is. Also, [livejournal.com profile] farscape_weekly has links to new fic as well.

Ooh, so many riches! Thank you for the resources -- now I just need to get over my weirdness about jumping into people whose names I don't recognize from around fandom!

In retrospect, using that icon was a horrible idea.

Ahahahahahaha. Gay doesn't mean pedophile, Fox!

Also, I love how you said that like you are not more horrified when people like Muppet ships. First thing I show you after the sexy girls: BIG BLUE WOMAN TRYING TO SEDUCE TINY MUPPET.

I was all "Where is a Muppet icon with a human? Ooh, TR!" And then I saw it posted and was like FUCK.


While I am not pro-intermaterial dating (if flesh and felt were meant to blend, we could buy it like that at Michael's!), I do not like discrimination against my fine fake-furred friends.

Seriously, the first few times I watched Strange Bedfellows, it was all about the Ray woobie for me? But now when I watch it, I can't stop focusing on HOW MUCH Fraser is in love with him ALREADY, and just wants him to be happy. OH FRASER INDEED.
