Fandoms: • Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022) RPF - Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson • Killjoys (TV) - Johnny Jaqobis, Dutch|Yalena Yardeen, Khlyen • Constantine (TV) - John Constantine, Manny • L.A. By Night (Web Series) - Vannevar Thomas, Suzanne Rochelle, Chaz Price
Specific Details: All four of my fandoms offer up opportunities for queer relationships, whether gay or bi. I am also happy with pairings/threesomes including any/all of my requested characters (yep, even when it gets complicated). I just really love opportunities to tell and read queer stories where queerness is simply part of the story, and normal or celebrated, rather than an axis through which characters are ground down by society.
• Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022) RPF - The cast and crew are already fully queer-positive, and have been very vocal in interviews and on social media about their commitment to an authentic queer adaptation of the story they're telling. I'd love to see an RPF scenario within that framework, where Sam and Jacob's wonderful friendship slides into the romantic, whatever that means, and however it manifests.
• Killjoys (TV) - The world of Killjoys is one in which queerness is normalized, so any angst/messiness/complication comes not from sexual preferences, but rather your relationship with and to your partner. Any relationship between Johnny and Dutch (who view each other as siblings), or Johnny and Khlyen (who generally view each other as enemies), or Dutch and Khlyen (child and parent, but also sometimes enemies, sometimes allies), or Dutch and Johnny and Khlyen (all of the above) is going to be complex and confusing. I just really love shifting that heavy, serious weight to more individual romantic conflicts and away from queerness; it's a breath of fresh air, and I think we can use that right now.
• Constantine (TV) - John is canonically bisexual, and also up for anything. Manny is an angel. Even living in a modern world, there's no level of oppression or homophobia that's going to stop either one of them from pursuing the people they're attracted to, and frankly, they've both got bigger fish to fry. I would love a story in which queerness is not a particular issue for either of them, or any homophobia (from an external source) is handily dealt with, either discounted and brushed off, or appropriately (magically) violently.
• L.A. By Night (Web Series) - Well, they're vampires, so they're often associated with queerness in literature/media, and at least amongst vampire society, it's not usually an issue. The game itself is full of queer-friendly/-positive players, and that has carried over to the narrative itself. Much like Constantine, while the human world may be full of oppression and homophobia, the characters in L.A. By Night have been alive long enough that court and clan politics are always going to overshadow anything and everything else.
