It's safe to say that if you're here... you agree that our Ladies of Lesbianism: Willow and Tara are the OG OTP (
Original
Gangsta
One
True
Pairing)
And long may they reign.
BUT! Thanks to our favorite Sapphic Duo, Women Loving Women (WLW) pairings have become a genuine *thing* in programming these days (and not just for a ratings boost... usually).
To that I say Woo! (and add a hearty) Hoo!
SO! Who are you "shipping" these days? What television WLW couple (or *almost* couple, OR, *wouldn't it be amazing IF* couple) gets your heart purring pitter-pat?
Share here and tell us why! Include a screen shot or two if you like. Or, heck, even fan art! Why not??
I'll start us off...
Currently, I am shipping hard for "MysteryPearl" on Steven Universe. "MysteryPearl" is shipper shorthand for "Mystery Girl (aka Sheena) + Pearl".
Sheena is an Earth human with dyed pink hair, an impressive stature and natural curves. Pearl is a female-identifying gay rock from space whose appearance is a conscience manifestation of light.
PEARL IS SO NERVOUS AND IT IS SO DAMN CUTE!!I know!! What's not to love, AMIRITE??
They've met ONCE. They haven't been on a date yet because Pearl has been busy saving the Earth from other, meaner, space rocks. So...priorities, ya know?
WATCH THE EPISODE WHERE THEY MEET - It's only 10 minutes long! DO EEEEET.
Last One Out of Beach CityBut I cannot wait for the day that things settle down enough for Pearl to give Mystery Girl a call and for them to get down to some intergalactic smoochies.
And if you aren't watching Steven Universe already.... GET TO IT! It is a wonderful, beautiful, queer-positive cartoon that is all about LOVE. AND it already has an established long-term lesbian couple in the form of Garnet (and I am totally shipping her/them too!). Garnet is a "fusion" who is made up of two other Gems (Ruby and Sapphire) who are in love with each other and have been together for 4000 years. Four. Thousand. Years. Garnet rarely unfuses... but when she does... OMG RUPPHIRE CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!
So yeah... Steven Universe is the shizzle.
Your turn!! Who are you all in a tizzy about these days?
Cheers
DW
