Wanna do director sanvers for the ask game since I just saw that you posted a fic (that I'm excited to read when I get the chance!)?

1. What made you ship it?

it just kind of happened?

I started as a general danvers shipper then director danvers [well before lucy became director mind, luclex anyone *snorts*] as well when lucy showed up way back in the s1 cbs days when queer alex was pure hc fodder and we all assumed winn would be the one to get a big gay reveal if something like that were to happen

then maggie sawyer turned up and alex turned into a completely gay mess without even realizing it and i was c a p t i v a t e d, and in those early moments of holy fuck she's got it bad and doesn't even realize it before the rise of sanvers and way before the fall i got attacked by a plot bunny ft. dragons i expected it to be a sanvers fic but lucy/alex took the reigns and by the time it was done the first ever director sanvers fic was born

I hadn't ever really considered ot3's before? polyam wasn't much on my radar and i had a history of otp's that usually kept me from even multishipping but alex/maggie/lucy opened up a whole new world for me, i shipped alex/maggie and i shipped alex/lucy and then suddenly the potential for all of them separately and together weaved itself into something that just Felt Right and they became and ima about to get real cheesy here everything i ever thought or hoped or dreamed love could be

other people picked up on that potential and ran with it and with every new story written by strangers then and some of the dearest people in my life these days i only fell harder and harder for 'director sanvers'

the stewards of this ship came with a deep love and understanding of each character individually which made this ship shine something fierce when all three were put together and i've never looked back

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

the friendships i made along the way? *snorts*

the way they are in any incarnation so unapologetically queer, the characters themselves, that have such strong and unique individual personalities and the way those just mesh So well together no matter which way you spin it: alex/lucy, alex/maggie, maggie/lucy, alex/maggie/lucy, the way they're all used to living in their respective armors all their lives and finally feel like they can take that armor off and put it down around each other ,that they choose to do so, the banter and the snark and the heart

honestly there's too much to even begin to list it all

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Not that I'm aware of? there's also a small part of me that will lowkey always think of this ship as my literal baby so i might just be immune to concept of any of my opinions being unpopular lmao even thoough the ship has grown and expanded well beyond me and my wildest dreams which is fuckin awesome tbh
