I don’t know if this is just me, but did anyone else end up shipping characters in their English class literature?I began shipping two characters in A doll’s house together because they hit all of the things I like about femslash ships (secrets, tight bond, childhood friends!!!) and I want to see if anyone else shipped them. This is on anon because I am a little bit embarrassed about it, and the fact it’s been two-three years since I began shipping them where I occasionally think about them as a pair even if I’m not as into the play as I used to be
Our own high school english class did Romeo & Juliet one semester, and our immediate friend group ended up taking characters and role-playing as them in between classes and at lunch/after school for months the same way we did with Yu Gi Oh characters.
We were Benvolio. So hey– at least we lived. 😂
But yes– I think many people who instinctively engage with fiction in fandom type ways definitely engage with literature class fiction in the same way!
