Overrated Ships

Recommended Posts

a lot of them are really badly drawn too, hardly lenny-worth and more cringe worth, like what the hell is anatomy, leave that shit to people who actually know how to draw get your basics down first, dear lord

it's the price i pay to leave the filter off so I can look at those nice 50-set collages by very skilled artists that may contain like, 1 nsfw at the very end that they warn you about before hand

Don't care for the bolded ones all that much. I've noticed that a lot of F!Corrin ships tend to annoy me a little, especially the little bro ships and F!Corrin x Jakob.

I'll also note that the ryoumarx numbers are pretty misleading; it's artifically inflated by leokumi fics that kinda just tag it as a background in all-opp royal settings and have very little to do with any ryoumarx interactions

source: all the times i get annoyed trying to find a new ryoumarx only to find not actually ryoumarx

Caminoka also have this going on as well

I mean don't get me wrong proportionally we do still have more than a lot of ships (me trying to find ryouma/scarlet: like 2) and I'm grateful but it's also interesting to note that leokumi has about 3x more than ryoumarx even counting the artificial inflation

hell, I like leokumi but sometimes i don't wanna see it when im looking for just straight up ryoumarx fics lol

As a creator in the Ryoumarx fandom at times it feels a lot more like there's maybe ~20 of us working our asses off to make the content, rather than a lot of people making a few content at a time, tbh

I've unfortunately seen enough Cornmilla in a lifetime

really unsavory kinds

Oh. I'm... uhm... I'm sorry...

they're pretty bad please love yourself and avoid them as much as possible

You clearly don't understand how the internet works. Saying 'it's disgusting don't look at them' just makes me want to see them more out of curiosity.

AO3's numbers are actually incorrect--M!Corrin/Azura is as high as Azura/F!Corrin, but for some reason it doesn't show up at all in the "Relationships" menu. Corrin/Azura as a whole should be around #3-4, but it's not up there either.

But then again AO3 is kind of crap anyway why won't you let me exclude tags from my searches I am so tired of those stupid Alpha-Beta-Omega dynamics okay?

yeah, when i was typing the list i noticed that ao3 said xander/f!corrin had eleven works, which is definitely not right - there's like, 30something or more

i would've expected m!corrin/azura to be higher myself - i thought i saw it one time on there, but overall f!corrin has more works iirc, so i guess i wasn't real surprised

what i find hilarious about the list myself, though, is that leo/takumi is so popular it makes it on there twice and somehow i'm not inclined to think that it's entirely incorrect :p

It makes up roughly half of the overall "Corrin/Azura" tag, with F!Corrin/Azura the other half, so they're actualy about equal. But the other big fanfiction site, ff.net, doesn't have nearly as many F!Corrin/Azura (like maybe 3?) and more than double M!Corrin/Azura, so I chalk it up to AO3 being the breeding grounds for porn and same-sex pairings. Leokumi, most notably, is popular on other sites, but it doesn't dominate them nearly as much as it does on AO3.

So i think we can all agree that Leokumi is like the most overrated pair out of the lot. Save everything involving Corn.

I'll second that except for Corn/Azura. I personally don't see why they'd make a good pairing, but eh.

Yeah, but I'd also say Camilla/Hinoka is the most overrated femslash pair. I find it interesting that the its almost entirely based on a couple of flirty lines Camilla says to Hinoka in Conquest...while putting an axe to her throat. She doesn't sound cute, she sounds like a potential rapist. It's weird.

Then again, people seem to fetishize consent, so I shouldn't be surprised.

The only reason I think people like Leo and Takumi together is because they're both pretty.

I was unaware that this was a popular pair. I've only seen maybe one or two pieces of fan content based on it.

It varies. I haven't seen a lot on FF.net or DeviantART, but it seems a lot more popular on Ao3 and Pixiv.

I check Pixiv all the time and I hardly ever see it.

I don't know what Ao3 is.

more like yer Corn and Azura, ayyyy lmao.

I like Leokumi, and people like it because the possible dynamic there is interesting. They are similar creatures, they just express themselves differently. Plus, their support is adorable and its natural how people could get the shipping goggles on while reading it. Its just...sadly really overdone. :( (which is really the definition of overrated)

Agreed especially about Corrin/Azura being great

I can kind of see why people would go for Leokumi--their support chain was pretty great and had a good transition to friendship--but honestly most of it seems to be based off of "they're pretty boys who argue, let's turn it into sexual tension leading to steamy porn!" rather than any actual interest in their dynamics. And it's everywhere, so I'm not surprised people (including me) are getting sick of it.

And Tumblr (though Tumblr has a really big LGBTA+ fanbase and a lot of weird stuff shows up there. I must have seen the only Fem!Corrin/Velouria art piece in existence there the other day).

This is my sole reason for looking at fan-anything. I'll never read fan-fiction but I love the hell out of any cute fan art, even of some of my least favorite characters.

Might as well cut out the middle man and say 'me and Azura'. That was a joke, don't take it seriously.

Maybe it's just me, but I think they'd be much better in the 'best friends that act like brothers' role. But then, that might just be my mounting frustration with taking every single relationship, be it friendship, rivalry, archenemies or what-have-you and saying that they're clearly going to fuck each other in the future.

While I was neutral to it initially, my opinion has shifted towards Leokumi being really overrated as time has gone on, especially because of the deluge of fanwork. It doesn't help that most of the fics I've read for it fit really clearly into "seme and uke"-style slash tropes, or that anytime their actual canon issues come up it's only Takumi's that are addressed while Leo's just the "big strong man whose shoulder Takumi can angst into." That and fandom's love of pairing people who initially don't get along or hate each other romantically is something that I don't get or agree with.

The only reason I think people like Leo and Takumi together is because they're both pretty.

That, and that one line about "going beyond mere friendship" in their Japanese A Support because clearly sworn brotherhood or any sort of deeper platonic friendship isn't a thing.

I don't know what Ao3 is.

Archive of Our Own, a newer and more pretentious archive for fanworks, though it's mostly used for fanfic.

Leo/Takumi is starting to remind me of AkuRoku...

*shiver*

Is it still going strong these days?

It is the definite and most famous yaoi pairing after all. They even have day dedictated to AkuRoku!

Guess what day it is?
