Now instead of insulting and bashing the woman, because that would make them Look Bad, it's all about how she's the BESTIE, the fujoshi, and sometimes, how ACTUALLY!!! she's a lesbian (even when she's shown no hint of it and often her life revolves around men in a way I'd find insulting for a lesbian character, tbqh)!!! ew how can you ship her with MEN who are UNWORTHY of her!! Nonono, let's pair her with this other woman (often someone she wouldn't be interested in in a million years, but okay) and put them in the background, being generic as fuck.
fuckin PREACH!!!!!! UGH i'm so sick of fandom just pairing the women they've shoved to the background in favor of their slash ships and going oh these are the mom figures or the angry better than men type or they're so fluffy and happy and in love and i'm like. my god none of these people see value in female characters they are nothing but props and background fodder to these people!!!! it's endlessly frustrating!!!!! like damn at least 20 years ago fandom seemed a bit more honest when they just called a female character a bitch
One of my longest original WIPs will involve a F/F/F triangle/messy triad, so there's that xD
I LOVE MESS
I think in part it's because in general I prefer Triangulation Drama TM in my femslash over the classic Let's Solve Things With Polyshipping. If there's a set-up with more than two female characters with sexual an emotional tension between them, I'm more likely to want them to fight about it lol.
YES you hit the nail on the head!!!!!!! it's about the interpersonal conflict and drama there.... you ever think about steph/cass/rose because they slot in perfectly here
thank you for such wonderful answers i am going to go through all of your F/F fic this morning hahahah
