Date: 2019-01-25 03:51 pm (UTC)Wait, what's Broken Earth? I've been totally out of the loop! Sell me!
And yeah, I probably wouldn't have admitted it if you hadn't first, but the juggernaut that was Geiszler/Gottlieb kinda turned me off the fandom too. (Though I did find one FtM!Pentecost fic and it scratched itches I didn't even know I had. I'm totally that bitter bastard who's just bitching because he's not getting the free fandom content HE wants, bespoke and instantly, haha.) Also a lot of people seemed to adore Chuck Hansen and... no. (I saw a trans headcanon for him and I was just like, no, let's NOT do that thing where trans men are allowed to be raging douchebags because dysphoria is hard.)
Also for real, I would've loved to see some politics fic about the Wei brothers and how they manage being a three-man Jaeger team and surely the intense political pressure that would put on them to perform as China's superstars. I was totally into the Russian husband/wife team too, but... I don't think it's any coincidence they got way more fandom attention than the Weis.
I was totally into Pacific Rim for the Pentecost/Mako adoptive family relationship. That was totally the core of the movie for me. I totally wish they could've piloted a Jaeger together!
