Lol, so we continue with you sharing another of my ships, but still not one of my biggest.
Man, I’m so into the Desenfrenadas duo. I really was not expecting this whole show and ALL the girls AND this f/f to just blindside me. As much as I do keep track of all kinds of f/f, the ones I really fall for are where the writing focuses on character first. I loved their friendship, I loved the kindness, the helping each other out, triumphing over adversity, the “try your best” optimism. And as for the ship, give me interesting, rootable characters I’ll like for their own sakes, a real dynamic, and an organic arc and I’m there.
Actually, I remember jokingly coming up with shipping rules last year around when KJ and Atypical were really thrilling me and there were some lovely Tumblr posts from people speaking on shipping, Jane Austen style.
Welcome to the Booasaur Austenian Shipping Requirements:
1. It’s mutual
2. It’s transformative, there’s real change through and for each other
3. We see them openly communicate
2 is the big Austen one and the other two, you’d think they’d be a given, but for f/f they’re not! They’re really not. 😡 But don’t my big ships fit that? Isn’t that the best kind of ship? God, openly communicating…my kink. 😛 As much as I loved Desenfrenadas ep 7 (and 10), it was ep 6 that made me genuinely into them. I love seeing all kinds of canon f/f, but the kind where you really see these characters sit and talk? Ah, man.
