Re: Worst Femslash Ships

[(Anonymous)]

For me, Lapidot. I wouldn't actually call it "worst" because I 100% see the appeal but it's definitely my least favorite and some of the shippers are the absolute worst f/f fandom I've come up against in years.

I'm not a fan of Jasper/Peridot or Jasper/Lapis either, even if I feel bad for the wank the latter automatically gets. But mostly I think I just got tired of this entire corner of shipping. I like all three characters but I don't want to hear about them together anymore. Ever.

I dislike Lapidot too. Off-screen character development is borinnnnng.

The worsssssst. I get how healing the ship is for some people but for me it just took all the conflict and tension of the getting together phase I would have been interested in and threw it out the barn door.

Their breakup was actually the most interesting thing about the ship, it brought so many interesting issues to the surface, but I've just been too turned off the ship for too long to want to see those issues explored in a shippy way.

The most fun I ever had with Lapis herself was her being pissy at Peridot, and then she just... stopped. It was very disappointing for me, personally. I would have enjoyed something a tad prickly but still workable going on there.

I just can't get into Peridot in a sexy context, which is what I desperately need for ships. So any ship with her is dead in the water for me, and Lapis is one of my fave characters so :(

I was around back before Peridot lost her limb enhancers, and I had a grand old time then. But now she just looks and acts a lot more childlike, I feel.

NAYRT I love the tiny nerd and ship her with many characters, but I never really thought about smut for her and I think you're right that it's partially because she very much has a "Steven's little sister" vibe. Not to an extent where I'm squicked by romance with her and other adult characters, but I definitely feel more like I'm shipping a character from a kid's show than I do with say, Jasper or the Diamonds.

I can't get into ships involving Lapis or Jasper at all and IDK why. They have the kind of fucked-up dynamic I usually love, and I find Jasper pretty attractive, but ships involving either character do nothing for me, and I also just don't find the characters that interesting for whatever reason. I totally multiship Peridot, though.
