A cheerful thought

[alias_sqbr]

So the main three fandoms I've really been seriously into in the transformative-works-and-blogging sense are Homestuck, Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra, and Dragon Age. And all three recently ended with f/f relationships happily going off into a bright future :)

I mean Dragon Age always had canon f/f, that's why I got into it, and it's not really over, but Dagna/Sera being made canon (unless you romanced Sera yourself, I guess, in which case you have a different happy f/f ship) and featuring in the ending slides to Trespasser felt significant. And I had no idea Homestuck or Avatar would go that way, as far as I can tell neither did the creators.

Homestuck and Dragon Age also had major m/m ships who had cutely happy endings, which was also great to see. Also a lot of angst and death and problematic content haha. But I love them all anyway :)

Yes, the canon f/f relationships in 'Dragon Age' are pretty heart warming :)

It wasn't until I played DA that it sunk in for me that I could both pursue a female love interest in a game and play a female character at the same time.

It's been such a wonderful experience that I've had zero interest in games that don't do canon f/f if relationships play a role at all.

I haven't had a chance to check out any of 'Avatar' but I've heard enough good things that I'd better get on it.

I didn't follow Homestuck (and still need to finish DA:I - I should get on that), but this makes me very happy. :D A good antidote to the more depressing outcomes we've been hearing about.
