Re: Favorite Fucked Up Ships

Lambdadelta/Bernkastel. I would write reams of fic about them if they weren't mentally thousands of years old/physically look significantly underage, because apparently that is a block for me in femslash in a way it isn't when I'm writing filthy porn about people I am categorically incapable of being attracted to IRL. They're just so beautifully fucked up terrible people who are as in love as it is possible for people that fucked up to be, and it's amazing.

I absolutely adore this ship and plus all the ones. They're so deeply alien and horrible and somehow fluffy even if their fluff is just swapping ideas of ways to murder each other and it's just...incredibly RTMI.

Yes! I was sold on them after that first scene where Lambda shares her romantic fantasy of murdering Bern by sticking her into a palace and dropping one gem in a day until Bernkastel was crushed to death, and it just kept getting better.

I like Lambdadelta/Bernkastel, but my favorite fucked-up Umineko ship is actually Erika/Dlanor. I have considered filthy smut, but they also look about twelve even though Erika is at least old enough to have been to college and Dlanor has existed for like sixty years. Goddammit, Umineko, why are you like this.

Man, I'd forgotten about them! They really had a great dynamic together. I feel like it would be hard to write non-smut with characters tied that far into the meta, too, which makes the persistent why does everyone have to look 12 even worse. I mean, would Erika just...idk, go around the multiverse like the most psychotic detective with Dlanor monitoring her? (It's been a while since I've played.) Meta characters are just weird if you're trying to write anything that isn't a one-shot.

I also ship Bernkastel/Erika, but I would never write porn even if they looked older because that's too fucked up even for me. I just can't do porn where I have the sinking feeling that someone's going to get tortured to death in the middle, you know?

Yeah, that's the problem I have, that I wouldn't know how to write something that required more plot or even more... acknowledgment of context? than a PWP for the meta characters. I think I could manage Ange/Mammon (which I also ship, but it's waaaay less fucked up than the other two), at least pre-canon/while Ange was at school, but with Lambda/Bern and Erika/Dlanor it's like... yeah, I don't know, outside of the events of the game, what I'd even write them as doing.

Re: Favorite Fucked Up Ships

Yeah, acknowledgement of context is a good way of putting it. I was trying to write something non-smutty for Lambda/Bern a while ago, and I could maybe do them as a crossover for a canon similar in context to Umineko's context and explore how they might work in a different interesting disaster? But that would be using another canon to ground Umineko's weirdness and what canon would actually work that I have no idea.

Ange/Mammon during school would be a lot of fun, though.

Re: Favorite Fucked Up Ships

Oh, I love the crossover idea! But I also have no idea what canons it would work for. It would have to be something that's also long and twisty and murdery to be worthy of Bern and Lambda's attention. ... Something like Dangan Ronpa, maybe? Though I've been functionally out of that fandom because I can't afford the third game.

Someday, I will finally write the Ange/Mammon that I've been thinking about for ages. Someday.
