#How the fuck would I tag this???

[zoguy1]

I've made a thing for the Crossover Fandom

DISCLAIMER!! PLEASE READ BEFORE OPENING THE DOC: This is a project that is meant to document ALL the ships I've seen on Archive of Our Own that were tagged under the fandoms I wanted to crossover. I do not ship all the ships listed or endorse them. There are ships on this document that might upset people. I wanted this doc to be accessible to those particularly sensitive to those ships, so all of them have been moved to the bottom of the list and highlighted in a dark gray so that people who don't want to see these ships won't accidentally stumble across them. HOWEVER, not all the "Trigger Ships" (as I call them) are labeled. I've been working on this project alone, and spotting every Trigger Ship by myself is hard. If you wish to help make this document more accessible, please notify me of any ships that have not been labeled. I also ask that people don't use my doc to target people because of ships. If I am made aware that people are doing this, I'm removing public access to this doc.

So I've mentioned that I've wanted to expand my crossover universe more. And to be honest. The plans I have for my crossover universe is a lot larger than me. As in, I have ideas for something significant, but no real idea of how to implement it.

One of the ideas was to have every character get a crossover ship, but given that I'm a multishipper masquerading as a monoshipper, I didn't have a clue which ships I should implement.

So once Covid hit the States, I decided to make a document of all the existing crossover ships I've seen on Archive of Our Own, make statistics on qualities that I like in a ship and dislike in a ship, and then organize the document to show me the ships that I would like the most.

The project ended up being a lot more work than I had anticipated. Taking a total of 5 years to make. It started as a fun little project to work on during quarantine. Over time it grew into something more for better and for worse.

I really love this project. I love the final outcome, and although it's not perfect, I'm still proud of it. But I can't lie and say it was easy making this. This project took over my life, and there have been several times when I just wanted to tear the whole thing down because it was just too much for me to do. I've had to make and remake and remake and remake this project. It was exhausting.

But I'm finally to a point where I'm mostly satisfied with it and ready to let this project go. It's not perfect. There are still ships on this doc that have been mislabeled and need fixing. But I've concluded that I'm only one person, and it's not embarrassing to ask others to help.

As I've stated in the disclaimer: some ships have not been properly labeled. Not just with Trigger Ships, but also queer types and fandoms. Minor shit that I would not be able to spot because of my dyslexia. If you wish to help me out, please notify me of any fixes I need to make to the doc.

I plan on updating the stats every year, however, it takes me a long ass time to update the doc. So don't expect the 2024 edition to come any time soon.

riz and adaine's little internal nerd club within the bad kids is soooo important to me. riz compiles dossiers of information for his failing party members that are like an inch thick, stuffed full of papers and forms and pamphlets about all the ways they can improve their academic standing, and then just so adaine feels included he makes a folder for her that's empty and simply says "hey adaine!" inside. literally who is doing it like them

some thoughts wrt the two established "romances" in severance so far (burt/irving and helly/mark) inspired by @figmentof who pointed out how irving had to find out mark and helly kissed from the corporate video in s2 e1 and how he must have felt seeing his co-workers' love affair like portrayed like that, and how it ties into the queer narrative at play here which uses workplace dynamics and policies as very clear analogues for real-life prejudice against queer couples. I mean, just look at this:

it's not just documented, but celebrated. used as propaganda for how the conditions on the severance floor have improved. proof that the severed workers are happy. and how even though he is unaware of the sociopolitical meaning of all this, lumon is very not-subtly telling him that what he had with burt is inherently lower and less valuable than this.

irving doesn't even know homophobia exists and yet he is still affected by it, it still seeps into every corner of the way his and burt's romance progresses. burt is positioned as an unacceptable love interest from the jump. irv is actively discouraged at every turn from pursuing it. their friendship is viewed with disgust and apprehension from their coworkers. burt working in a different department that's hated by MDR. dylan himself not being homophobic in the sense he opposes their relationship because they're both men but his attempts to keep them apart still has a parallel sort of prejudice behind it and still ultimately has the same effect as if it WERE driven by homophobia. irving is made to feel perverse for wanting contact with burt. he's told this is for his own good.

and then, just as they manage to overcome that immediate resistance from their peers and escape to a place where they can explore this blossoming romance on their own terms, burt retires. for all it matters to irv, he's dead. and then irving is given the option to live the rest of his life with grief that will never heal, or kill himself too, because there is no reality where they get to be together. that's just the way things are. of course they wouldn't get to be together. he was unreasonable and childish for ever hoping that could happen. this is just the way it goes for innies. he's told to get ahold of himself and not make a scene.

but the thing is, the standards are not the same for all. a heterosexual romance gets upheld as the shining example of success and fulfilment for the severed employees, whilst a homosexual romance is ridiculed and invalidated, and written off as something that was simply never meant to be. and even more importantly to irving, a heterosexual romance is APPROVED OF by lumon, and by extension, by kier. irv held back from allowing himself to even call his and burt's relationship a romance, because his god had told him it was wrong, he followed the handbook, thinking this was what kier wanted, and then finding out after suffering the worst heartbreak imaginable because of it, that this WASN'T EVEN TRUE. it's simply just that someone like HIM doesn't get to have something like this. his love is not the kind of love god wants. he does not approve of irv's love. cynical and manipulative though that approval may be (even within the context of the corporate video, the helly/mark romance is only being celebrated to further the narrative that lumon care for their workers, but the point still remains that it was THEIR romance specifically used to suit this end), when your entire life has been in pursuit of that approval, it must be devastating to learn it was never on the cards for you.

he and burt even used the fact kier met and fell in love with his wife in the same circumstances as them to justify this to each other - and they were RIGHT, god does approve of falling in love with your coworkers - this simply just doesn't apply to them specifically. and if irving needed any more proof that he no longer has a place at lumon, that he's better off not existing at all than existing with this pain that cannot be remedied, pain that won't even be acknowledged for what it is, a symptom of a sickness which plagues the entire severance system, pain that he is simply expected to choke down and get over - this is that proof.

and that's the POINT. they're TELLING us that this is unjust, and there's a double standard. they're using the ways the innies experience romance and the difference in lumon's reaction (lumon being the collective of all the management we've seen, lumon as a singular entity) to burt/irving vs helly/mark to comment on how queer people are not afforded the same level of respect or validation IN REAL LIFE, for their attachments, their love, their pain, their suffering. it is NOT just incidental that irving's romance is with a man. it would not WORK if his love interest was a woman. the POINT is that they are both men and how that puts them at a disadvantage, even if they aren't aware of the prejudices of the outside world, even if they don't TECHNICALLY apply on the severance floor, there are very clear analogues which still end up oppressing them in equivalent ways that they would be suffering if this were a normal workplace in the outside world.

it genuinely sickens me to my stomach that even in a world so divorced from reality and the sensibilities of regular society, a queer couple is still made to suffer and feel inferior in a way that perfectly mirrors their real-life counterparts. how they will never, EVER be allowed to exist in a world where their love could thrive freely and uninhibited - they never get to taste the joy our world has to offer people like them, but they are still somehow subjected to all the pain it has to offer them regardless. it's such horrifically devastating writing. it makes my skin crawl. I can't stop thinking about it
