#sja ship

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Ngl, while I do get where RTD is coming from that the Disney deal could save Doctor Who from dying if the BBC does essentially die since the tory government are basically killing anything they can, BBC included- I really don't like the idea that the solution is just to give Doctor Who to Disney, given we all know what Disney is like with everything they own and would not hesitate to milk Doctor Who like they do with Marvel, let alone just adding to Disney's monopoly on everything we watch.

[merthurians-prat-and-idiot]

I just rewatched The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Empty Planet pt1&2 and it is so so good!! Rani & Clyde are just so awesome.

[dailyclassicwho]

well I just realized that the sarah jane smith tag has all her appearances from classic who, nuwho, and the sarah jane adventures which maybe isn’t that helpful for people who only want her appearances in SJA.

like normally it doesn’t matter too much, for example, I don’t bother distinguishing dw vs torchwood jack harkness but, like, there is a pretty massive difference between classic who sarah and sja sarah jane smith. maybe for sja appearances I’ll use an additional tag like “sjs” or smth.

some more art for femslash February featuring Eshonai and Azure being the best worldhopping girlfriends out there. Leshwi and Jaxlim sharing a passion for growth and gardening.

(sorry I just had to add this comment from discord 😆) and Sja-Anat and Evi which could be loosely seen as accompanying art to this ficlet by @cosmereplay

(disclaimer: non of these ships I came up with myself but they were suggested by the amazing people from the Bridge Four Discord, when I asked for potential couples to scribble pictures for) 😀

[dandelionjack]

watched the mad woman in the attic. maybe i’m babybrained cocomelon brainrotted or something but why is this legitimately better than torchwood like?? or at least equal to it in complexity and subtext.*

but jesus christ… what a message about possessive friendship and the inability to let go — the parallels between eve mind-controlling the homeless people to do her bidding because she “just wants friends”, sam doing the same to rani (thinking she abandoned him after he stopped being her only friend, and trying to guilt-trip her into coming back) and rani doing the same to the bannerman road gang (becoming overly paranoid and gaslighting herself into believing she’s not good enough for them because they dare mention maria). THREE LAYERS of mirroring… “maria’s the new sarah jane” being salt on the wound of rani’s aspirational “sarahjaneification” … parallels with martha’s early-s3 complex of being unable to live up to rose, too …

^the ship interface is saying this about eve, but it can just as well be interpreted in a metaphorical sense: rani is a child trying to be an adult, rani is trying to become sarah jane, and it will hurt her. funny how the ghost of doctorification haunts the narrative even in his absence, it’s that powerful. The Doctor is a sort of memetic virus that is passed down from mentor to student, and although its intensity diminishes over time, it can still be fatal. gwen wants to imitate jack harkness. jack harkness wants to imitate The Doctor. rani wants to imitate sarah jane. and sarah jane wants to imitate The Doctor

^eve’s Not-Regeneration — proof of convergent evolution among time-active species? river song’s existence says “yes”. potentially, exposure to the vortex itself gives you the “golden energy emanating from your outstretched limbs” perk

also, from a lore perspective… eve’s species are fascinating aliens. a time-sensitive AND time-active people that’s not connected to the timelords in any way, we don’t see that nearly often enough! as for their backstory (being subject to a genocide as collateral damage because a race that can see the outcome of a conflict is dangerous to both warring parties), that’s definitely a main-show rather than kids-spinoff type concept. wonder what they were doing during the War, not the war on their planet, but the universe-spanning one. judging by the capabilities of their spaceships, the time technology they used is pretty advanced. eve may have been lying by omission: maybe the species that genocided them were none other than the residents of a certain planet that tries by all means to maintain a monopoly on time travel. they don’t like other species messing about with the web that they so carefully wove… ah, now THAT’S a plot seed for a short story in a faction paradox anthology if i ever saw one

Old Rani’s plot was also all incredibly 73 yards. the more i watch, the more i realise just how intertwined ruby sunday’s story so far has been with various callbacks and parallels to sja… it’s gotta mean something? something something trickster pantheon something somehow one who waits

*i almost hesitated to post this because the internet Hates people that analyse kids’ media with any degree of sincerity (im usually toeing the line anyway; the main show isn’t really Aimed At Adults either. which we sometimes forget)

for this kiss game, not a ship but Sja Anat and young Ren for 30? Like in your Sja/Evi universe, if that’s fine.

Absolutely!

I will write a kiss… 30. …as comfort.

Renarin & Sja-anat, 500 words, rated General, Oathbringer spoilers

Sja-anat watched through the mirror as her young charge cried until he was exhausted. She had been watching Renarin in his own rooms, as Evi had requested before she’d left with Adolin. Their yearly trip away was a normal part of the year, like a long slow Weeping, and Evi liked to hear what had actually happened with Renarin while she was away. It seemed she would give no more reports to Evi. She had heard the nursemaid tell Renarin that his mother was dead, and she had seen him retreat into himself. He’d thrown off his nursemaid with a deadly scream, then slowly, silently, marched to his mother’s bedroom, wrapped himself in her sheets, and collapsed completely. Sja-anat was surprised to be so moved. Human flames flickered then passed all too quickly. Her own passions smothered, then burst anew in a seething mass of newly discovered emotion as she witnessed Renarin's grief. Not for the first time, she wished she weren’t trapped between Realms. For Evi’s sake, she wished she could offer her son some kind of comfort.  All she could do, for now, was watch as the young boy curled up with a small block of his mother’s incense and stared at the wall. He was tense, like stone. A thin whine crawling out the back of his throat seemed the only evidence that he was conscious.  Was there something she could do?  Sja-anat had touched a lesser spren before, giving it a bit of Odium’s power (Evi had insisted it was Sja-anat’s own power. Could she believe it?) If it were Sja-anat’s power, she could send it without Odium’s knowledge. Would it work? She could tell Odium it was an experiment, to see if humans could see her corrupted spren.  It was worth the risk. She found a windspren and imbued it with her power. She whispered a command and it flew away, up and up from Shadesmar into the Physical Realm. She found Renarin again as he reached up to light the incense in his mother’s censer. For a moment, he paused to make sure it had caught. Then he ran back to the bed and wrapped his mother’s blanket around him, watching the smoke as it rose in a wavy pattern, fast and harsh at the base, and flowing, almost dripping upward in a slow undulation before catching the invisible movement of air through the room and dissipating. The boy watched with red, puffy eyes, and his lips moved, though he didn’t make any sound.  “Now,” Sja-anat whispered, and the windspren flew to him, leaving a thin red trail behind it. It flew through the boy’s cheek, the spot his mother had liked to kiss him, and out the other side.  “Again,” she commanded, and the windspren tried again, then again, until Renarin noticed the movement of light. His eyes caught the translucent spren flying large circles around him, leaving behind that thin trail of red light. His expression didn't really change, though it softened. Then, in a massive effort expending all its presence, the windspren flew against his cheek, bouncing back, before abruptly disappearing back to Shadesmar. She could already sense Odium's attention moving towards her. Sja-anat moved quickly away through the palace, planning her words. The risk and effort were great, but remembering the way the boy had softly touched his face, Sja-anat thought it was worth it. For Evi's sake.

Fandom Trumps Hate

Hi folks! I'm excited to be participating in @fandomtrumpshate this year, offering a fic of up to 10k words. The selection of organizations that FTH is benefiting this year is really impressive and worthwhile, so I encourage you to take a look, and also explore all of the fabulous listings!

You can find my listing and bid here. TL;DR—I've listed Succession, Doctor Who/SJA, and Supergirl as the fandoms I'm willing to write for, but if you'd like to see me write something in another fandom/for another character or ship that you know I've loved and/or written for in the past, I'm open to that! Apart from my favorite characters and ships, I love writing about female characters & relationships, exploring character dynamics that are underexamined (or nonexistent) onscreen, canon-divergent scenarios, the ""5 Things/Times"" format, & stories that explore an undefined or in-between space in relationships.

Shoot me a message if you have questions about what I'm up for/feel comfortable writing. You can find my works, and the list of fandoms I've written for, here on AO3, and more details beneath the cut!

Type of fanwork: Written fanwork Subtype(s): fan fiction (new) Fandom(s): Doctor Who: New Doctor Who (2005-present), The Sarah Jane Adventures, DC: Supergirl, Succession Highest rating: E Length/scope: 5-10k words Minimum Bid: $10

Especially interested in: 

DW: I'll write for the 9/10th Doctor era and/or the 14th Doctor era, as well as The Sarah Jane Adventures & Sarah Jane's classic era. I tend not to veer towards explicit shippiness in DW, but can discuss! I love companion dynamics, family themes, all things SJS, & the 14th Doctor's healing era.

Supergirl: I'll write Supercat in pretty much any form, & am happy to explore Kara and/or Cat in other non-romantic dynamics. I'm most familiar w/ characters that appeared in s1.

Succession: I'll write Roman/Gerri in any dynamic adjacent to canon (so, a wide range, but nothing wildly AU in terms of characterization). Beyond that, I'd be happy to write Gerri gen and/or Gerri w/ other female characters, especially Shiv.

More details, including DNWs, at the listing itself.

Let's Talk About Thasmin

Chapter 3 & Conclusion - I Wish This Would Go On Forever

So after analysing Thirteen and Yaz individually, what do I have to say about the ship itself, Thasmin?

A f/f doctor relationship was long overdue, so I understand the hype from lesbian, bi and pan thassies. Whilst Bill, Clara, River, Vastra and Jenny helped lay the groundwork, a sapphic main couple involving the Doctor was deserved. I also understand why aspec specifically asexual thassies are drawn to it. The two’s commitment to each other isn’t dependent on sex or conventional romance. It exists outside the pressure of what a ‘normal’ relationship is ‘supposed’ to be. For acespec fans, especially sapphic acespec fans, it’s nice to have a reminder that romance without sex is possible and just as meaningful and fulfilling as relationships that have it. It’s also a nice reassurance for arospec fans that conventional romance isn’t the be-all and end-all of relationships and connections between people. I also like Thasmin’s slow burn between the characters. I’m aware of the jarring double standards Thasmin gets held to. Many straight ships I enjoy like Maddy and Rhydian from Wolfblood or Clyde and Rani from SJA don’t get their big love declaration til the end of the season or the show itself. None of these ships gets accused of baiting the audience because they didn’t kiss until late or never kissed at all. Because heterosexuality is seen as the default sexuality, straight people and characters can explore romance and sex fully, or not at all, and still be securely heterosexual. Queer people on the other hand face the constant battle of fighting to prove that we’re real, we exist, we’re ‘valid’. At what point does existence stop needing permission? Not all queer people get the perfect coming out and perfect relationship on the first go. There’s a space for that discomfort and pain to be addressed and it’s nice to know you’re not alone in it. Thasmin can work as that space, for queer people that never got that happy ending.

I do take an issue however, with fans calling Thasmin asexual specifically because there’s no kiss or any sexual activity whatsoever. It really rubs me the wrong way I’ll be honest. Kissing isn’t inherently sexual or proof of sexual attraction. People can kiss their friends and family. This has weird implications for the VastraJenny and BillHeather kisses, the former was to save Jenny’s life and the latter was romantic but not sexual. Plus there’s nothing about kissing in the definition of asexuality. Kissing or any other physical activity doesn’t ruin an ace person or couple’s asexuality. This rhetoric is just purity culture. What makes an ace couple ace is having ace people in it. That’s it. Plus when you look at the actual reason for the lack of Thasmin kiss, it wasn’t because Chibnall intentionally wrote Thasmin as ace but that he thought the ship ending with no kiss would’ve been more devastating. It wasn’t that he didn’t them want them to at all or the BBC not allowing it. Even then, there wasn’t enough explicit information for us to distinguish between lack of kiss because of purity culture, asexuality or just not wanting to. And the compulsory sexuality throughout the Thasmin discourse is the consequence of that. Though not mainstream, representations of ace pairings do exist. Repeating previous examples, Abbi and Hannah in The Imperfects don’t kiss. Darren and Ca$h in Heartbreak High do. Sakuko and Takahashi from Koisenu Futari don’t do anything romantic or sexual at all, not even holding hands (they’re not a romantic couple though but a QPR). There are also many forms of non-sexual intimacy. Maybe have the kiss on the cheek or forehead. Maybe they could’ve hugged and embraced instead. Maybe have the characters say ‘I love you’. Chibnall could’ve written Thasmin as asexual intentionally, having the lack of kiss and other physical activity to be an explicit form of representation for repulsed and averse aspecs. There are many forms of asexual couples Chibnall could’ve taken inspiration from with Thasmin and he didn’t take a single one. I love a good thinkpiece but when queer fans are having to headcanon and interpret the queer themes for you, that’s a massive problem. ‘We’re here, we’re queer!’ isn’t just for decoration. It’s a public statement and declaration of existence. Thasmin could’ve been the perfect ship for the forms of queerness that can’t make this declaration because of lesser visibility and internal struggles. And it didn’t. And that’s a real shame.

I don’t think whether or not Thasmin being planned matters. If it was, then it wasn’t implemented well. It if wasn’t, there were still opportunities for it to be fully fleshed out that never happened. In a similar way to the Fugitive Doctor, Chibnall’s last minute additions aren’t inherently bad in my opinion because there was still potential to for those ideas to develop. Plus, they were pretty good ideas! But when you have essentially a white cishet writer creating marginalised representation as a last minute thing, only to exist as a plot twist or intentionally written but only as a short-term storyline, that’s not meaningful representation. Queer representation deserves to be fully explored and fleshed out, not just left for the end of the era when there were so many more moments to give it screen time. With lesbian, bi and pan creators creating the real groundbreaking sapphic representation I’m not patting Chibnall on the back, the same way I’m not patting any showrunner on the back for Black representation when the Black writers in the room is still at 0. I appreciate queer writers being involved with Thasmin, but I also don’t rate the idea of having queer writers creating queer characters as a cool perk and not the bare minimum. If the queer writers in the Chibnall era could’ve written full Thasmin storylines as early as series 11, going past confessions and maybe showed us Thirteen and Yaz’s attempt at a relationship, maybe Thasmin could’ve gone further than it did. Just like the Fugitive Doctor, I’m looking at a bit of representation that I’m supposed to feel supported by, the very first of its kind, and going ‘I’m happy it existed but it deserved so much more’ because it only got a few episodes of screentime in a whole 5 years and now having to go Big Finish digging if I ever want to see it again. And like… that’s bad. Really bad.

Originally, I planned to leave this essay more open-ended for the main takeaway. If Thirteen having little to no sexual and romantic attraction makes her a bad queer character then what do you think about asexual people, aromantic people, aroace people, queer people with little to no sexual/romantic experience, queer people with trauma induced sex repulsion or aversion, queer people with little to no sexual activity due to sexual medical conditions and queer people that just don’t want to? If Yasmin Khan’s a bad queer character because of her past relationship with a man and having unconfirmed male love interests, what are your opinions of lesbians with comphet, ‘late bloomer’ queer people and bisexual and pansexual people with men as their past and/or current partners? If Thasmin is a bad ship specifically because of the prior reasons, then what do you honestly think of the prior people? But I already know the answer. If you’re part of any of the previous groups listed you probably already know the answer too. Calling Thasmin fake gay because of the mere potential of one of its sapphics dating a man is lesbophobic. Calling it the ship for ‘sapphics scared to do more than hold hands’ as if being a sapphic like this is something to be ashamed of, that it’s fake romance because there’s no sex or fake queer because there’s no sex is compulsory sexuality, even if the people saying it are sapphic themselves. I’m honestly disappointed at how much lesbophobia and compulsory sexuality have not only been unchecked but actively supported in the Thasmin discourse. I’m also honestly disappointed that a queer fandom could be so ignorant towards other types of queerness when the whole point of being queer is to exist in ways that are unconventional from what society wants from us, even from each other and push back on the limited views of sexuality, romance and gender society enforces. But then again, no fandom’s perfect and I literally write about the long antiblackness in this fandom so… should I really be that surprised? Nah. 

When you go beyond things like timing and characterisation and claim characters are unqueer because their understandings of romance and sex are different to yours personally, you stop critiquing how the queerness was written and start critiquing the queerness itself. Which is why I wrote this essay. Lemme just say it now: No, you’re not some evil acephobic lesbophobe or whatever for not liking Thasmin. That’s not the point of the essay. What I’m saying is, there’s no harm in evaluating how your ideas of sapphic characters are shaped by lesbophobia and how compulsory sexuality shapes your ideas of queerness (especially if you genuinely believe you’re an ally to asexual people) And if your ideas of radical queerness consistently alienate lesbians and other sapphics, asexuals and aromantics, that’s worth unpacking. I think Thasmin does need to be critiqued and it is flawed but criticisms rooted in lesbophobia and compulsory sexuality just aren’t it. Thasmin can be critiqued without throwing sapphics, especially asexual sapphics under the bus. Trust me. I wanted a Thasmin critique that was a bit deeper than ‘they didn’t kiss so they’re not gay11!’. So I made one myself. Hope you enjoyed it!

-

After Rogue came out there was the inevitable Thasmin v FifteenRogue discourse. If Rogue comes back next season, which he likely will, it’ll probably keep happening. I’m not looking forward to the Thasmin v FifteenRogue wars I can’t lie. In terms of FifteenRogue, I don’t relate to it and I don’t care about Rogue’s return because he wasn’t giving much. But that’s okay. In a previous essay I kinda predicted a ship like this to happen:

‘...we could see a canon longer term mlm pairing involving the Doctor for the first time. And not only that, but with a Black doctor for the first time. A queer Black man showing love and being loved is a reminder for queer Black people that universe-defying romance includes us too and that our DoctorRiver or TenRose moments can exist.’

Black queerness isn’t a monolith. Queerness isn’t a monolith. I’m not gonna get the same from FifteenRogue as a Black gay, bi or pan man would. My attraction doesn’t look the same as Fifteen’s attraction. My idea of a queer relationship doesn’t look like Fifteen’s queer relationship. But again, that’s okay. Just because it’s not for me, doesn’t make it less queer. And in that sense, that’s probably my main opinion on Thasmin. I like the idea of it and I’m glad other fans got something special from it, but I’m just not a shipper. To me, its unused potential is why I’m not a fan but it’s not that deep enough for me to be an anti. And from the main point of the essay, I’m not gonna start entertaining lesbophobia and compulsory sexuality just because of bad writing. Queerness is a massive umbrella of various identities so whatever type of queer representation we get next, I welcome it and I can’t wait. What comes next might look completely different to my own experiences and understandings. If Thasmin isn’t for me, something else will be. And that’s okay!

3, 4, 7, 12, 17 and 18 for Sarah Jane Adventures for the salty ask game please!

3. Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?

In The Sarah Jane Adventures fandom? No. Overall Doctor Who fandom, yeah probably. But not this segment of the Whoniverse.

4. Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?

Umm, maybe Sarah Jane/Maria and Sarah Jane/Alan. I don't think so? I haven't noticed much shipping talk for this fandom, but those ships through me on AO3.

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

Okay, I still love Rani. But her attitude and the focus on her in later seasons can annoy me.

12. Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

Well, this is from the original Series 5 plans. But I'm not sure how I feel about Sky being the Trickster's daughter. While in a way it works and in another it doesn't, much like Timeless Child arc in Doctor Who.

17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…

Alan and Maria wouldn't have left because of the job offer in America. In my fic, they will be staying but I haven't decided why. And even if they had, Maria would make a return and she and Rani would get to know each other and have an adventure. Even though I hate Luke leaving, he might still go to Oxford. I still need to read the unproduced episode details in magazines I bought before deciding if Sky's story will follow the same trajectory. UNIT would have more of a presence.

18. Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased?

No. I think the biggest SJA ship was Clani, which I loved. I haven't seen any complaints about them. Honestly, I shipped Luke/Maria because they had a strong bond and Luke/Sanjay came out of left field (plus we hadn't met Sanjay). I respect that RTD was asked to add an LGBTQ+ character by a BBC exec. As for Sarah Jane/Maria, I am creeped out by it. But people can ship whatever they want.

Thanks for the questions! Sorry that it took a few days to answer.

I'm so sorryyyyy 🙈

​it’s fine it’s fine like i said i hope the author has a great day knowing that they’re a genius for crossing glee/SJA with both my main ships from those shows cause UGH THEIR MIND

[knight-of-skyloft]

What I'm hearing is I need to finish my Evi/Sja-anat fic. And my fic that has background Laral/Abiajan.

The Stormlight fandom is pretty small so like, we barely have 15 different authors in the first place, but Teleb/Kadash and Lyn/Laran seem to have gained some traction despite never interacting on page. There are a few Kaladin/Mink fics too, and a Renarin/Wit fic. And I'm sure there are other rare ships that I can't remember!

I don’t think the cosmere has enough really out there ships

Like sure there are a lot of non canonical ones but those are still typically fairly plausible, like sure kalmoash is never gonna be canon but they are close enough friends who interact that you wouldn’t have to change that much to add a make out section. Most fics on ao3 are just shakadolin which is such bland shipping that even the author is aware and supports it

Where are the “they met once in a filler episode that isn’t even canon but now has almost 400 works on ao3” or “they don’t even exist in the same universe but they have matching powers so true love” or “they are the same height” type of ships

I’m sure they exist but I’m asking for the type of shipping environment where you can find fics from 15 different authors where navani/teft or nale/skar just exist as a background thing in a shakadolin fic and nobody questions it because of course teft and navani are a thing and everyone knows nale and skar is popular
