Look, the OFMD fandom does not own The Chain, but the 9-1-1: Nashville trailer using it pisses me off to be quite frank

Yeah, I’ve heard fantastic things. I want to read the novel before I watch the show but I definitely plan on getting there at some point!

Huh, I’ve never heard of that ship! I have been meaning to watch New Girl anyways though so I’m game

And given how much my best friend loves Deep Space 9, I’m ashamed I missed Garashir on my first version of the list 😔

Very interesting! I’ll look into that one, I’ve never heard of it! I would get some satisfaction from making Hercules gay, just as a little treat for Kevin Sorbo

Sterek and Malec are good choices — Klaine I totally forgot about! I’ve never seen Glee but I guess I can only avoid it for so long lol

Lmao sounds about right

No no that’s a great addition, especially given the new content in Lower Decks

If you think there’s a particularly load-bearing ship that is from a non-English language and/or non-Western show, feel free to add that as well! Still stick to live-action, though :)

I would still love to hear suggestions on what M/M pairings you think should be added to this list! Check the thread for guidelines >:)

Yeah someone said something about how they realized S2 directly refuted that Stede would do that lmao

Ehhh see if I were more normal I’d probably go with that option but unfortunately I have to watch from the very beginning of something and I can’t skip anything. If I watch Supernatural, I’m watching all of it lol

I love you, Stede Bonnet. #OFMD

3 screenshots from OFMD season 1 episode 10. Top photo: Stede Bonnet and Mary are embracing after Stede realizes he is in love with Ed. Middle photo: A hopeful Stede looking out at the ocean. Bottom photo: a close up of Stede out on the water, backlit by the sun, a smile pulling at his lips as he sets back out to find the love of his life (and his crew).

I have a list to start out with, but it’s not complete. I’m especially ignorant of basically any major pairings between Spirk and the mid- to late-2000s. That’s over 40 years of fandom history I’m missing. Any gaps you can fill in are super appreciated! Here’s what I have so far:

It probably goes without saying, but a pairing need not be canon to count, and in fact, most probably aren’t canon.

Movies attached to a TV series are fair game, e.g. the Star Trek TOS films. A TV adaptation of a book or other media also works. But any pairing that is wholly or primarily from movies doesn’t count, e.g. Bagginshield.

I’m going to limit myself mostly to English language live-action Western shows, just for my own sanity, but I might add in shows outside of that category with particularly notable pairings, such as The Untamed. I probably won’t include any animated shows, but I won’t definitively rule them out.

Okay folks, I’m in the early planning stages of something I’m currently referring to as “Project Slash,” and I’d love some help.

Basically, I want to watch as many TV shows with major male slash pairings as I can. If it got big on Tumblr, I’m gonna try to watch it. A few guidelines to start with:

What gets me is that people are trying to preemptively speedrun this conversation. Like, this isn’t people talking about having to make a tough decision in an upcoming election. He’s not a presidential candidate! Come 2028, maybe we can do this again, but it’s 2025, shut the fuck up

I remember someone making a post about “the Astroglide SMM is just using you for free advertising” and like… yes? So are we? Lmao

I think about that (and many, many other Fandom Moments™) a lot
