>And yet the fandom at large likes the boring pairings regardless
That's most fandoms anon. Popular ships are popular. And I don't subscribe to ship elitism anymore; ships are as interesting or as boring as any individual fan makes them out to be. Sure, some people have the most bland rehashed MegOP takes ever, and I roll my eyes at them, but that doesn't mean I don't like MegOP in my own way.
That said, my current obsession is still TaraProwl (it keeps the rent low on my socials)
