#i’ll admit i joined the fandom late (like season 6) so i wasn’t really effected by the klance queerbaiting and can’t really speak on that

[rulesofdisorder]

thinking about voltron in the year 2023 i know i know BUT i can’t stop thinking about how the creators caught on to the fact that we caught on to the klance queerbaiting so they had the masterclass idea to introduce NEW queerbaiting with shiro and adam and we fell for it AGAIN despite ALL OF THE SIGNS

i still can’t believe it. they announced that shiro was gay and had a fiancé at a con, made the only scene between the two of them a breakup scene, and THEN they had adam die offscreen and just played a flashback of it right before shiro got back to earth. insanity. i’ve thought about this every day for weeks.

cophine fanfic rec list <3

With quarantine in place, I feel inspired to create a fanfic rec list for my favorite ship Cophine (Cosima Niehaus & Delphine Cormier from one of the most amazing TV shows: “Orphan Black”). Quick searches of “_ fanfic rec lists” on Google and Tumblr are what started my reading of fanfiction... so hopefully – if someone ever goes down my “fanfic journey” – they’ll find this fanfic rec list.

*note: list is not constructed in any particular order (e.g. most favorite to least)

**summaries provided are the ones written by the author. i will try to add my own summaries if there wasn’t one (already) provided. overall, thank you to the authors for blessing us, readers, for everything.
