Hi, everyone! It's time to finish this fandom questionnaire, although there are two days left of this event. Don't worry, I'll find something to post about :)

25. A fandom you’re in but have no ships from.

Oh, now this is a hard question for me! I usually ship something in everything I watch, even if it's just lowkey, you know? Sometimes I'll watch a show or movie and enjoy it, but I don't consider myself as part of the fandom because I don't have fannish thoughts about it. Maybe I could say Discworld, if only because I haven't really read enough books yet to have any ships, but I'm also just assuming I'll end up shipping something. I've only read 5 Discworld books so far, so you never know!

26. What's a ship that you want to ship publicly, but everyone on tumblr hates it so you keep your mouth shut about it?

Honestly? I'm trying to be more open about what I ship these days. It can be scary, because people get DOXXED over ships these days, and I've had it happen to friends and to people who ship the same thing as me. But I also think it's horrible to silence yourself because of what people will say, you know?

For example, lately I'm shipping Lucy/The Ghoul (Fallout TV) because the parallels are very convincing and the fandom has so many cool fanworks about them. However, looking for their shipname (Ghoulcy) online gives you a lot of results that are just people hating on it and on the shippers. I still share the fanworks anyway, so I'm not keeping my mouth shut at all!

Another ship I'm pretty sure people would hate to know that I ship is Mariner/Ransom (Star Trek: Lower Decks). I don't necessarily try to hide it, but it's one of the shows that I try not to talk too much about online, since it's airing now and avoiding spoilers can be hard on social media. From experience, I think people probably dislike it because Mariner is bisexual and had a girlfriend until recently, and there's always a group of people who will be hostile towards M/F ships if the woman in it also has a woman as a romantic interest, if that makes sense. I'm pretty sure this happened with the 100 fandom and Clexa vs Bellarke (I liked both ships, by the way).

Happy Saturday, everyone! Let's continue with the questionnaire.

21. What are your favorite male/female ships?

See, this one's tougher for me! I don't have a lot of M/F ships. To mention some: Lucy/The Ghoul (Fallout), Caprica Six/Gaius Baltar (BSG), John/Aeryn (Farscape), F!Warden/Alistair (Dragon Age).

22. Do you have any 3-way ships? If so, what?

Braca/Scorpius/Sikozu, from Farscape!

Let's continue with the questionnaire for the Three Weeks event!

17. A ship you’ve abandoned and why.

This is gonna be a similar answer to one of the previous ones I gave, but the main one I can think of right now is Quark/Odo. I loved it early on, but Odo's behaviour put me off him as a character to the point where the ship wasn't appealing to me anymore. Other than that, I usually end up being bored of ships once I leave the fandom behind, with some exceptions. I tend to move from fandom to fandom every few months, because I get very intense obsessions that eventually burn me out, so to speak, and I need to get into something new. Again, there are exceptions to this, but it's very common with me.

18. A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships.

This is hard to answer, because I have some rare ships, but I'm sure there's at least one other person out there who ships them! For example, I really ship Chiana/Sikozu from Farscape, but surely I'm not the only one, right? I guess a more interesting answer would be a crack crossover ship I invented when I was about 14 years old... Hinata Hyuga from Naruto and Edward Elric from FMA. Why? I don't know! I think I was simply drawing something and drew them together, and then I decided they should date lol.

13. A person who got you into a fandom and what fandom they pulled you in to.

There are so many examples of this, I've probably forgotten a lot of them at this point. One case would be a small group chat I've had for the last 3 years with some fandom friends. We always get each other into new shows so that we can watch and talk about them together, waiting for everyone to watch so that we can discuss things freely without spoilers. It's a great environment to talk about anything fandom-wise, since there's zero drama because we don't judge what the others like, dislike, ship, not ship, etc. They got me into OFMD and Succession, for example! And it all started because we all love Star Trek.

14. Your favorite fandom (for the people; not the thing you fangirl over).

Really good question. I really love the Farscape fandom because it's small but active, and very welcoming to new people. I've also never seen shipping discourse or that sort of fandom drama in it at all!

Hello, hello!

Let's check ot these next two questions:

9. Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

I'm gonna extend "tumblr" to all social media. I'm trying to think of fandoms where this happened for me, because I have the feeling it's happened before, but I can't think of any right now. I get why this would happen, though. People can be very annoying with ship wars and the like, and harassing people over this, which can ruin your fandom experience. What often happens to me is I don't interact with fandoms if I see they're like that, and I might avoid starting a canon for the same reason.

10. Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr.

Extending "tumblr" to all social media again! To be honest, I usually have the opposite of FOMO: if everyone's talking about it, it starts to annoy me and I have no interest in it. I don't know how weird this is, but it's true!

Guess who forgot to post yesterday! I started reading a novel and got too into it for my own good, so time flew by and then I had a D&D session and... Yeah, I forgot. Let's continue with the questionnaire for now:

Hi, everyone!

As you know, I tend to be very inactive on my own journal. I'm still here, though, and earlier today I saw this event and thought it'd be nice to participate and be more active on DW. To start, I'll be answering a couple of questions from this fandom questionnaire every day, as suggested in ysabetwordsmith's post.
