Date: 2025-01-27 04:48 pm (UTC)* A favorite mythical creature -- not original, but 100% a dragon. I am very weak for dragons, and when I was younger would read anything with dragons in it, regardless of any other merits :P
* A favorite canon queer ship -- I can't think of one on the level of OTP, so here's the most recent canonical queer ship I loved: Ruth/Sol (f/f) in Lady Eve's Last Con.
* One of the smallest fandom you're in -- Dragaera books by Steven Brust (at least it's small by the measure of the number of fics on AO3)
* A favourite poem -- Philip Larkin's "Aubade"
* A favourite fairy tale -- the Russian fairy tale "Finist the Bright Falcon"

Date: 2025-01-27 05:56 pm (UTC)And yes, dragons are very good. <3
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 05:59 pm (UTC)Oh good! (it is kind of a depressing poem to randomly spring on someone, in retrospect, oops XD)
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 05:00 pm (UTC)* A favorite canon queer ship: Xavier/Magneto (on va dire que c'est plus ou moins canon), Payu/Rain dans Love in the Air (là, pas de doute, c'est très explicite)
* One of the smallest fandom you're in: les romans SF/F LGBT, par ex. One Verse Multi de Sander Santiago qui stagne à 15 ratings et 11 reviews sur Goodreads (même si moi-même, je n'ai pas de compte GR, mais ça reste un bon indicateur)
* A favourite fairy tale: Aladdin
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 05:50 pm (UTC)Ha ha Xavier/Magneto c'est compliqué. J'aimerais tellement qu'au moins un des AU devienne entièrement canon, même si c'est juste une série limitée !
[Edir] En fait ma préférence serait qu'ils deviennent canon dans X-men 97, mais j'ai l'impression qu'ils se dirigent vers Morph/Wolverine pour le shipping queer canon.

Date: 2025-01-27 06:26 pm (UTC)Pour le pas raccord, le "A est amoureux de B et B commence à s'intéresser à A juste quand A veut passer à autre chose" est un grand classique. Il faudrait juste que ce soit explicite.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 05:43 pm (UTC)* Um ship queer canônico favorito: Charles/Erik pra mim são canônico, não importa o que digam a mídia
* Um dos menores fandoms em que você está: acho que Maurice ou Aubrey-Maturin
* Um poema favorito: eu digo para todos que é "A Bola Azul" de Cecília Meirelles por medo de falar que gosto de "O Bicho" de Manuel Bandeira
* Um conto de fadas favorito: não é um conto em si, mas seu tema, aquele onde a esposa é um ser mágico e que se o marido brigar com ela a perderá para sempre
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 06:30 pm (UTC)I don't know these poems at all, I need to check translations!
OOoh yeah I know this tale too! The way a guy can't follow simple rules always angered and saddened me (not that the guys who don't have supernatural rules against hitting their wives should, but here it's stupid in addition to being evil)
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 06:42 pm (UTC)Essa temática de contos de fadas é existente até aqui no Brasil, com a Iara nossa sereia dos rios. A mãe dágua se casa, o marido que tem tudo se torna um beberrão, um dia maltrata ela e a perde para sempre. É uma ótima lição, se algumas de nossas irmãs ouvissem isso é fossem embora no primeiro sinal, muitas teriam sido salvas de seus maridos abusivos. Por isso eu gosto desse tipo de história é sempre um aviso.
Recomendo ler eles, talvez você não ache traduções para o inglês, mas se achar algum online em português pode traduzir com algum app como faz com meus comentários.

Date: 2025-01-27 06:34 pm (UTC)* A favorite canon queer ship: Tobias Beecher/Chris Keller from the show "Oz." Super toxic though.
* One of the smallest fandom you're in: My main fandom, for the show "Forever Knight."
* A favourite poem: Saltwater
* A favourite fairy tale: The Goose Girl. I had a collection of Grimms' Fairy Tales as a kid and for whatever reason, I really liked this rather dark story.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-28 07:37 am (UTC)Yeah, I heard about this ship, I don't mind toxic at all!
Thank you for the poem, it's very beautiful!
Thoughts

Date: 2025-01-27 07:34 pm (UTC)* A favorite mythical creature - fairies
* A favorite canon queer ship - So many, so we'll go with Karadur and Azil from Dragon's Winter

no subject
Date: 2025-01-28 07:41 am (UTC)Oh, these Dragon's Winter books seem interesting
Thanks for the poem, it's beautiful!
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 07:35 pm (UTC)A favourite mythical creature: Kelpies and water-horses can be an eerie, evocative piece of description, pleasingly weird or startlingly brutal in different stories.
A favourite canon queer ship: Alan/Davie in the Kidnapped play!
One of the smallest fandoms I'm in: Hmm. Defining 'fandom' as something I have long-persisting fannish feelings about and have created fanwork for, I think Peccavi by E. W. Hornung is close to the smallest.
A favourite poem: 'Sing Me a Song of a Lad that is Gone' (i.e. 'The Skye Boat Song, no, not that one') by Robert Louis Stevenson.
A favourite fairy tale: 'The Trinity Flower' by Juliana Horatia Ewing.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-28 07:52 am (UTC)I sure learned very recently that people were fannish about Horneng's books other than Raffles!
And thank you for the fairy tale, I didn't know it at all!
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 07:38 pm (UTC)Favorite canon queer ship: Squalo and Tiziano from JJBA (or at least... favorite that doesn't necessitate playing weird games with the definition of "canon", that is...)
Smallest Fandom You're In: Probably Promethean: The Created
Favorite Poem: Love Song For Two Vampires by Dante Emile
Favorite Fairy Tale: Either Donkeyskin or Red Riding Hood
no subject
Date: 2025-01-28 07:54 am (UTC)I never played Promethean but it seemed cool!
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 09:21 pm (UTC)* A favorite mythical creature:
Alebrijes! (If you kinda ignore they were first and foremost folk art.)
* A favorite canon queer ship
Hulkling and Wiccan <3
* A favourite poem
I'm not a big poetry fan, but "The Pelican Chorus" by Edward Lear. (And I love the song cover Cosmo Sheldrake made about it too.)
* A favourite fairy tale
The rabbit on the moon
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 09:24 pm (UTC)Smallest fandom: Nyanko/Wanko to Mahou no Boushi, which is small enough that all 5 fics on AO3 for it are mine. I love it very dearly! (A slightly weird thing about it is it's a game with a different confusing name in every region. I've used the Japanese name but it was brought under the Petz brand elsewhere, as a version of "Catz" or "Dogz" in Europe or "Petz Catz 2" and "Petz Dogz 2" in the US. No idea what it's supposed to be a sequel to, since it's completely disconnected from the Petz brand as a game.)
Favourite Poem: oh, this is a tough one. It might be an odd choice but I've always been really attached to "Bottles" from the game Doki Doki Literature Club, which I would assume was written by Dan Salvato (although in-game it's written by the character Sayori, a teenage girl who's increasingly struggling with her mental health). I was also a struggling teenager when the game came out and found it extremely relatable to how I felt at the time

Date: 2025-01-27 10:07 pm (UTC)* A favorite mythical creature: Unicorn
* A favorite poem: The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
* A favorite fairy tale: Cinderella
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 10:25 pm (UTC)Les ondins, surtout ceux avec quand ils ont un violon ou une flûte.
* A favorite canon queer ship
Canon, c'est peu habituel... On va dire Subaru/Seishiro, même si c'est complètement malsain. Mais en fait ce n'est pas le couple qui m'intéresse, mais plutôt le mystère autour ensuite, le truc de la clope, tout ça...
* One of the smallest fandom you're in
Bandersnatch, un épisode de Black Mirror
* A favourite poem
Le Desdichado de Nerval ou Tard dans la vie de Reverdy (je n'arrive pas à trancher entre les deux !)
* A favourite fairy tale
"La mort et le médecin thaumaturge", dans un vieux recueil de contes de l'est aux éditions Gründ... Les illustrations jouaient pas mal et je me souviens encore de l'odeur du livre ! En deuxième dans un autre recueil, de contes bretons, les "Lavandières de la nuit" avec des illustrations d'un célèbre illustrateur des années 60 dont je ne me souviens pas du nom (ma mère l'a encore, il faudrait que je regarde).
Sinon hors illustration ça se jouerait entre ces trois-là : "La petite sirène" d'Andersen, "Le chat botté" et "Barbe-bleue" de Perrault.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-27 11:06 pm (UTC)A favourite mythical creature: more folklore than mythology, but I have a soft spot for will-o'-the-wisps :D
A favourite canon queer ship: They're all canon! (Kirk/Spock would be hard to argue with though.)
One of the smallest fandoms I'm in: Initiation - Algernon Blackwood, I've written the only fic for this one
A favourite poem: Ode to a Nightingale - John Keats, just lush beyond words!
A favourite fairy tale: The Snow Queen - Hans Christian Andersen, the ultimate tale of loyalty

fairy tale: I thought of The Twa Sisters, but according to Wikipedia it is actually a "murder ballad". hmm. also the Korean myth with the flowers of reincarnation!
no subject
Date: 2025-01-28 05:51 am (UTC)2. Violet Paige/Suditi Varma from Mother Panic if "canon but unrequited" counts, but otherwise John Constantine/Satan from the Hellblazer comics.

Date: 2025-01-28 08:46 am (UTC)I was lucky enough to see a conference by Ellen Kushner at a fandom convention, I haven't read Swordspoint yet but it sure made me want to.
