She actually said something about JohnLock at around 10:40 that made me laugh, "We would not have had WWII if the Sherlock fans were running parliament." A Sherlock fan _was_ running the government. Winston Churchill was a good friend and major fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Holmes novels. They met at the Pall Mall Club in1900, where they both gave a speech on the South African War. Some even believe that Churchill got his famous line, from his speech after the Nazi's bombed the crap out of England and the RAF bravely defended the nation, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” from Doyle. (Churchill actually preferred Doyle's historical books over the Sherlock series, but he was an admirer of both.) And the feeling was mutual. In a letter to The Times in 1927, Doyle wrote about Churchill’s account of the Somme Battle, stating “Personally, I have long recognized that Winston Churchill has the finest prose style of any contemporary.” (Not something successful authors often say about politicians.) It was a long and interesting friendship - though thankfully not a SHIP-ship as far as I know.
the taylor swift wrote atyd conspiracy perfectly sums up the delusion of thinking everything she does is an easter egg and the general unhingedness to be a marauders fan requires. only a fandom that exists based on 5 sentences in the source material, that is also populated by tiktok swifties, would arrive at that conclusion.
@@Izzywildflowerr i don’t even know what the ‚proof‘ was but it starts with the author‘s ao3 handle being ms king bean 89, and every good swiftie knows that taylor was the only person born in 1989. i reccomend looking up all the young dudes taylor swift on youtube, you’ll find people who can explain it much better
Good thing I had 10+ years of tumblr experience to prepare for this test. Also hearing marauders-era hp fandom explained out loud is even more insane than having been in it.
We’re kinda insane, but we built this entire world by ourselves with absolutely no canon knowledge. It’s one of my favorite fandoms tho. Almost all of us are super nice
The fact that Carley fears the Kaylors more than the Larries is truly baffling to me. I wish the wrath of the Larries on no one ever. I fear the Larries with my entire being
you have not witnessed kaylors up close like i have. they are convinced that despite the fact karlie is married WITH TWO KIDS that they are still dating and somehow manage to be without being noticed about together DESPITE HOW THATS IMPOSSIBLE BC- actual Taylor Swift hello!!
as someone who only started watching their content after they went on hiatus, i didn't know how truly terrifying the obsession with phan was until i watched this video and did my research on the valentine's day incident. like carly didn't lie here, it really was enough to ruin anyone's life. thank goodness that it's not so bad now, presumably because their fanbase has grown up and is consequently a bit more tame.
The Marauders fans truly ar ethe greatest at just coming up with detailed and incredible ships between characters that are mentioned literally once and I admire that deeply.
The thing i love about the marauders fandom is that everyone really went “bet imma make up a random backstory for this character that is mentioned once” which lead to people writing the most heartbreaking, beautifully written fanfics in ao3 (like those fanfics are laced with something I swear because they are so addicting and actually good)
Also I love the fact that while there is nothing to base them off of from most fanfiction that I have read had similar characterisation of the single characters even though they could be extremely different because there is nothing to go from. So you could have just wrote whatever to the character and it won’t be wrong but still there so many headcanons that were just collectively decided on and so many shared personality treats.
@@amolove24 i finished OTB 2 weeks ago, it’s essentially the happy version of choices 😭😭 Choices will always be my fav jegulus fic though, the mythology motifs throughout are immaculate, definitely give it a try (bearing in mind the tags obviously)!! :)
The fact the Dan and Phil are still in a partnership and owning an apartment and working together after what they went through together is mind-blowing to me. I just have so much respect for them 🎈
with all the ships that were straight up like "99% of the material was completely fabricated by fans" im reminded of why goncharov, the movie that was completely fabricated by fans, took off on tumblr
respectfully, destiel belongs in both babygirl AND electric chair category bc the impact it had on the culture?? undeniable but the cost that was paid in exchange? brainrot
The love confession literally caused Tumblr and Twitter to explode and we all thought Putin was resigning as a result. 5/11/20 is a date for the history books
as someone who has only seen the marauders fandom from afar i would absolutely love to see you do an entire deep dive into it, like it’s actually insane how much media has been created for characters either never mentioned or only mentioned once.
as someone in the marauders fandom, i can confirm the video would be 13+ hours long 😭 there are too many good fanfictions that have changed the standards and trajectory of the fandom (e.g Art Heist, Baby!, Choices, Crimson Rivers, Just Lovers (like we were supposed to be) to name a few)
which made me curious why WB decided to make story about newt instead of the marauders? they can made it into high school series/long movies. LIKE, WE HAVE THE AUDIENCE AND THE MATERIAL CMON
@margarete5920 Honestly making an official marauders movie sounds like a terrible idea since fans are the ones who created almost everything from scratch. If they took ideas from the fandom and profited off of it it would be a copyright nightmare, and if they did something completely different none of the fans would be happy since that would go against more than a decade of headcannons. Plus, I think it's way more fun that stuff like marauders or goncharov 1973 are collaborative efforts by thousands of different people who still somehow manage to have a cohesive canon. Having jkr weigh in on what's canon and what's not would take away from the magic
@@margarete5920 yeah I definitely agree with what @kjarakravik4837 said, the whole basis of the marauders fandom is that we built it up ourselves, if we let JKR or WB get their hands on it (which they wouldn’t bc JKR hates fanfics and it’s queerness) they’d take away everything we love from it (e.g headcanons, ships, fanon culture in general), it would be awful. On top of that, it would dilute what the fandom produces due to the canonisation. Essentially, people would start considering it as canon and the whole essence of the fandom would be gone.
Honestly whether or not Kaylor or Larry ever were a thing... believing they're still together is just absolute insanity. I cannot phathom even thinking that. Like !?!???
this!! like if it somehow came out that Taylor and Karlie dated in the past I wouldn't be THAT surprised but believing that they are still together is straight up insanity
Genuinely, with everything I’ve learned from going down the gaylor rabbit hole- still standing behind Larry is just plain delusion but still believing Kaylor is ongoing is insanity. Whether Kaylor happened or not, Karlie betrayed Taylor with her having (allegedly) known that Scooter intended to buy her masters and not warning her. Like forget the idea of them being romantically involved for a minute, that’s so deeply terrible on another level. Like it ruined their friendship regardless (and that’s not even bringing in the fact that Karlie married and had kids with a Kushner). To still cling on to Kaylor now is to ignore everything that probably ruined their friendship in the first place and if they WERE dating, that must’ve hurt Taylor way worse. For both, it’s a level of delusion to still insist in something never proven that you’re willing to claim a real child in a real marriage is a cover up. Like that kid is gonna grow up and possibly be faced with those rumors and you honestly think their existence is just publicity????
I've gotten into fights with Kaylors, they genuinely terrify me too. Some think Karlie's kids are secretly Taylor's too which is insane. Like the commenter above me is saying, even if they were a thing they clearly don't talk or interact anymore. It's widely believed Karlie was telling things about Taylor to Scooter Braun. Why would you ship her with someone that betrayed her?
@@Allison1111the same actually goes for larries. They either think Freddie (Louis’ son) is a paid actor (and a doll as a baby) that they photoshop to look more like Louis, he’s the child of his grandma and step grand pa or he’s Louis and Harry’s child, because Louis obviously has never touched a woman in his life and bisexuality doesn’t exist (you know if lastly was real, he could still have a child with a woman, if he was bi)
i was an insanely prolific jegulus aO3 author my sophomore year of high school until i got hospitalized for a hypomania/depressive episode and the doctor put me on lithium and i completely lost all interest in them😭😭😭u just triggered a huge memory for me wow
I’m assuming this is probably because Carley is Canadian but I can’t believe she didn’t mention how when destiel became canon it took over twitter and it was on election night. It became more popular on twitter than the election!!!! Also they are not brothers
Being a Marauders fan from literally the third book coming out as a literal child, I am both proud and bewildered at how much Wolfstar and the Marauders has adapted.
i haven't seen a single episode of supernatural but destiel deserves babygirl tier for november 5th 2020 alone. that day was so unhinged and fun even if you weren't in the fandom at all.
@@kennyvancullen9949 but they are barely show up in the story. people love the imagination more. i think that's why people love enemies to lovers too cuz it took awhile for the couple being together. they love the longing and drama in it
the marauders fandom is my favourite thing ever, because name another fandome that just created its entire lore based on 5 sentences in canon, like truly masterful. and like i have never consumed any fanfic, but the presence is so powerful, like i KNOW the things, i ship the ships, i watch the edits, I've never read a single piece of fiction
If I was a psychologist I would dedicate my entire life to studying this incredible phenomenon. Also I think you'd have a field day with Goncharov 1973, created from a tag on boots
Destiel not being in god tier despite being the most written about couple on ao3 is so funny hahah the subjective ignoring of their impact is gold. happy for you honestly do not go down that rabbit hole you will never be free destiel is forever
The Bowser/Luigi ship? Mostly motivated from a particular scene from the trailers, but it existed for a while. It's hard to explain because it does involve some lore that is too much to explain, but essentially a lot of people relate to Luigi because of his personality traits, and a lot of people like Bowser and thinks he deserves better than being a perpetual antagonist. Add anxious but lovable guy and mean monster who wants to be loved and you get the ship. The Beauty and the Beast analogy kinda illustrates a lot what this ship is about already.
I started shipping them when I saw art of them in Christmas sweaters and when people started to discuss Luigi being Bowser Jr.’s step dad. Like the appeal for me is that this ship should objectively not be fluffy and cute at all, but like it is? And I love it
It’s also fed by how in the various sports games, all the characters are chill with eachother, like the kidnapping bit is an act or something, so it’s easy to make a more civil fanon where they could totally have a rivals to lovers arc
I love Dan and Phil and I also think the lengths that people went to with their ship was WILD. To me, I just thought their friendship was a good dynamic and I was accepting of however they decided to identify (bc duh, they’re real people). I’m so happy that they’ve been able to overcome the struggles that came with having a popular ship to begin making content together again.
Those phannies were on FBI level and a lot of those theories turned out to be true… which must have made them sooo uncomfortable😢 it’s great to know that they still maintain a strong partnership after all the craziness that they went through.❤
fr. i think it’s fine to ship them casually and write fanfiction about them ig 🤔 i never did that but idk. i think it’s a whole other thing when you’re basically shoving your ship down the people involved’s throat and invading their privacy to “prove something.”
@@tsuki3752along this line, Phan is how I can now just Tell the different between “I’m writing some chill rpf for fun” and “I’m writing this rpf bc I want it to be real/i think it’s real” based on vibes. This is also why kill bill sirens went off in my head when I first encountered DNF
the les mis section actually made me spit out my coffee with laughter i lived in my echochamber for so long i forgot normal people dont know the happenings of a 1300 pages long book from 1862 by heart, anyway loved it never change
Me as a marauders fan acknowledge that i am in complete delusion, and I am here for it. When you mentioned Dorlene (Dorcas and Marlene) I was so happy. This is the mental state that we as a fandom are in😭
babe you cannot just drop that as a random fact on us, I'm going to need an entire video dedicated to why there's a conspiracy that Taylor Swift wrote All The Young Dudes because WH A T GIRLIE
I think for most of us it’s a joke but its mainly because the author who wrote atyd their username ended in 89, so 1989 and also a lot of taylor songs fit with the marauder ships
Impeccable content, though I do have to add that Sebastian Moran (the other Mor in the MorMor ship) is a real character made by Arthur Conan Doyle, he’s just INCREDIBLY minor. He’s canonically Moriarty’s right hand man. Sincerely, a former MorMor shipper who still lives for the villain and right hand man trope
it was actually the 90s mulder and scully fans who came up with the term “ship” and i myself (being an 18 year old gay for gillian Anderson) felt the need to tell you this
They’re the most popular ship on ao3! I looked it up for a different comment on this video. I’ve never been a teen wolf fan (never watched it, too busy obsessing over supernatural and sherlock in high school I guess 😅) but I was a little (a lot) embarrassed how many of the top ships I recognized and/or had read (or written…) for. If you were wondering it goes sterek, destiel, drarry, johnlock, stucky, stony, minor or background relationships (which cracks me up every time, that it makes the list, but I guess statistically it makes sense), aziraphale/crowley, wangxian, bakudeku. Also harry/snape has more fics than reylo which is cursed knowledge I’m forced to live with and now must share with you
the visceral reaction i had to carley not knowing if destiel were brothers. obsessed with how narrowly you avoided one of the most disgustingly unhinged and toxic relationships ever fabricated online. but yes destiel being in sorry to this man is painful and i need to be institutionalized
In 2014 when i was 14 I shipped larry soo hard. Idk why I was obsessed with it, but it makes me so fucking uncomfortable to think about it now. And the fact that there are now grown ass adults still deep in the conspiracy about it baffles me. I genuinely feel so awful for my past involvement. Like, even if the shippers were right (which I honestly doubt), like who gives a fuck?!! Leave these poor boys and their personal lives alone😭😭
@@AlexGilbert_big same, phan was my entire personality throughout middle school and it just feels a little icky now. But like, you live and you learn. Also, other than it feeling icky, it was also just pretty cringe. I did English assignments about them. Like I made my teacher deal with that crap 😂
I was deep in the trenches with Larry back in 2013 and dear god the level of cringe and utter embarrassment I feel now at how delusional I was is astounding. Idk how people still believe in that garbage 😂
I used to be so confused about the marauders fandom, because they would talk about the characters in such great detail. I kept thinking like…surely we read the same book I don’t remember all that…I didn’t understand how the internet worked.
the way hearing about the Marauders fandom from the outside perspective made me question my sanity like C'MON we've not only made up full-fleshed characters from two lines in the source material, we've accepted FULLY made-up characters who are not in the source material at all, and we just... go on with it? like it's okay? this is insane but i love it.
ok I'm French and don't know about most of these but the fact that you called les Miz' boys Enoljraze and GRAMMAIRE sent me dying bestie, thank you for your service (also, it is a very OLD ship, like dating from the book itself)
15:55 “i feel like this ship ruined their lives” dan literally said that said that if weren’t for their fans he wouldn’t have had the courage to come out like please be serious plus they dgaf about rpf in fact they encourage it!
as someone who has been a part of online shipping culture since i was 10 (where were my parents, honestly), but only moved from shipping the straights to shipping wlw couples when she came out at age 17, there are an abundance of wlw ships where the characters will just look at each other, and BAM, a 500k word ao3 fic that rivals the most talented of authors is there for you. i would like that to be studied, honestly, and also why everyone ships two men but no one ships two women
As someone who’s favorite movie is Pitch Perfect and has read most of the bechloe fanfics out there, my favorite wlw ship that is based off fanon is staubrey. Like it’s one of the biggest ships in the fandom but it’s based off of headcanons that Stacie, while hypersexual, is also insanely smart and grounding to Aubrey, who is made to seem crazy and over controlling in the films, but is just anxious and underloved. Like they rarely interact in the films but the fan interpretations of the characters are beautiful and in love. (Which don’t get me started on the wlw fan ship that barely interacts in the movie that I can’t get behind because I can’t get behind a problematic age gap✌🏼, it goes both ways, some fan ships are a little too unhinged for my tastes)
@@dasiasaur oof yeah problematic age gaps are not it. I love how people can see two women, think they'd be perfect together and create amazing fics for them, that's so cool
@@supposedlymel fully agreed, if you were wondering what the pairing I found slightly problematic was, it was a pair that’s interacted even less than Stacie and Aubrey and it’s because it’s Aubrey and Emily, otherwise known as the person who graduated right after the first movie and the person who was an incoming freshman during the start of the second movie, which is about 3-4 years later because it’s then Beca’s senior year. So like 7-8 year age gap where the dynamic makes sense because it’s sweet puppy love with the overanxious underloved type. So the character dynamics are compatible but I can’t get past the weird age difference
As for the MorMor ship, Sebastian Moran does exist in the original Sherlock stories. So although he didn't make an appearance in BBC Sherlock, the only new thing about him is the fancast lol.
the way i keep thinking i understand internet culture and then someone randomly says shit like "some people think taylor swift wrote this extremely popular harry potter fanfiction about two characters that are mentioned like once in the books". I know nothing.
Girl the fact that the overwhelming majority on this list are men just troubles me for some reason. We don't have nearly enough charismatic female characters to allow girls and young women to pour their heart into. Even in the fictional wold we are putting men on pedestals instead of looking after ourselves. But we don't have to.
I read a paper one time that said the reason women love m/m ships so much is because the dynamic forces vulnerability from the male characters, which isn't fulfilled in real life hetero relationships because of toxic masculinity, and so women seek it out in other forms.
@makingmils it's also alittle weird how straight women are obsessed with mlm relationships. I was reading something about this and it also felt like some kind of fetish if you get what I mean. "Oh they're so cute they cant possibly be in a real relationship"
@@teresagreen-e It's OK, I don't think we are contradictory. I think obsession can be a powerful thing, so it is painful to realize that girls and young women can only explore their own fantasies through male surrogates.
@@lesbiangoddess290 yeah it's just like how straight men love lesbians porn/ship but actually homophobic. It's one of the problem in 'shipping' fandom honestly. some just care about the ship, but when faced with real gay couple in real life they're like, ew
As someone who was DEEP in the Les Mis fandom around 2015, this Enjolras x Grantaire rating hurts my heart. There is soooo much more to the ship beyond people finding Aaron Tveit attractive. I mean, people discussing the queer subtext of these characters is something that exists not only in fandom but in academic circles lol. Anyway, its just a very beautiful ship that has been expanded upon by the fandom in beautiful ways
Victor Hugo literally compares them to orestes and pylades, achilles and patroclus, etc when introducing the amis... and they died HAND IN HAND in the brick
I’ve been watching Dan and Phil since 2013, but I hadn’t heard of The Valentines Day Video, until I watched this- I have nothing but respect for the fans who helped to hide it
I want so badly to go back in time to show this video to a pilgrim. If I didn't have time to show them the whole video, I'd just show them the line, "We now have a gay ship between a dwarf and a hobbit."
@@b8376 pls i feel like at this point its just become such a funny thing to add to the lore, but lowkey... sometimes... if youre delusional enough... the dots do connect 🫣
my fight or flight activated for a second because I thought I was going to be forced to hear you discuss Sterek after you said “top on AO3” and I simply cannot make myself go back into that 2009-13 headspace I won’t do it
I remembering seeing soooo much fanart and fic for Moriarty/Moran and I was so confused. Like, I had seen every episode of Sherlock but initially could not figure out where tf this second dude came from. It was only when I started reading more the original Conan Doyle stories that I figured out where the fandom pulled him from
carley’s complete lack of knowledge about les mis may have been the absolute best part of the video. and it’s crazy how enjolras x grantaire has an actual backing in the novel
28:21 they are 😂 the fandom loves to argue that since loki’s adopted then it’s fine but as someone who’s adopted I’ve always found it icky. It’s such a hard ship to avoid in the marvel fandom though, if you hide their tag on ao3 the number of marvel fics get chopped almost in half 💀
I... JUST now realized that the term shipping comes from relationSHIP, not somehow related to ships... I literally sometimes picture 2 characters in a lil boat when I think of shipping. 🤦♀️
nodding my head alone in my room the whole times shes explaining the mauraders lore, because yes she got it right, and yes its insane, and yes ill eat it up everytime, and what about it?
Destiel is LITERALLY the most iconic ship of the 21st century, and no they're not brothers. baby girl. god tier. invented abo (unfortunately). it's for the culture
Thanks for reminding me of the ever lingering sadness within me bc of Bilbo and Thorin. The things I would do to give them a happy ending have made me read slight variations of the same journey through middle-earth about 7000 times. Guess what, I already know there will be a heartfelt hug in the sunrise coming up soon, and yet here I am reading it like it’s a surprise.
Carley, respectfully I am obsessed with you. The way you explain this unhinged stuff is just everything to me. Had me laughing and smiling and twirling my hair. A needed pick me up today. Thank you for your videos!
i was studying whilst watching this and i wasnt really listening, i heard 'jegulus' and my jaw dropped- then hearing you explain the marauders fandom made me realise how insane we actually sound 😭😭😭😭 edit: grant being made up and not even being canon and still making it into this video actually shows the complete chaos of this fandom im so sorry 😭😭
I was so ready for destiel! And you did not disappoint!!! Castiel and Dean Winchester are not brothers- they’re best friends. Castiel isn’t even human- he’s an angel. Dean is a human! Their ship is totally fine and not gross 😂 also, it did become canon!!!
Switching up star wars and star strek in 2023 is truly a girl boss move like I respect it so much.
Literally I was just about to say the way she babygirl'd it and then called it star wars 😍❤️🔥
My heart was dying when she said it but still did the hand sign right.
It triggered me and then I had to throw up with how embarrassing it is to be triggered by that
she's so real, you can't fake that
As a Marauders fan, hearing someone try to explain The Mauraders makes me realize how deeply unhinged the whole community is. Like we built an empire from NOTHING.
Well and truly
Exactly. Honestly my favorite thing is how Marauders doesn't even have a canon like it's literally just fan nonsense
Honestly though JKR made such a bare sandbox worthy world that we had to do something with it. I bet if she actually did world building we wouldn't be obsessed with our own creations.
This is why it’s the shining star of HP fandom. I can’t explain it. You guys are miles above the rest of us.
YES
Carley pronouncing half the actors names wrong and confidently calling star trek "star wars" really adds to the unhinged vibe
Also les mis, Anjorales I love it

The Marauders fans truly ar ethe greatest at just coming up with detailed and incredible ships between characters that are mentioned literally once and I admire that deeply.
Thank you
🤍
The thing i love about the marauders fandom is that everyone really went “bet imma make up a random backstory for this character that is mentioned once” which lead to people writing the most heartbreaking, beautifully written fanfics in ao3 (like those fanfics are laced with something I swear because they are so addicting and actually good)
I have never cried as hard reading or watching any other fictional story the way I did when I finished ATYD, like it's that powerful
Also I love the fact that while there is nothing to base them off of from most fanfiction that I have read had similar characterisation of the single characters even though they could be extremely different because there is nothing to go from. So you could have just wrote whatever to the character and it won’t be wrong but still there so many headcanons that were just collectively decided on and so many shared personality treats.

@@amolove24 i finished OTB 2 weeks ago, it’s essentially the happy version of choices 😭😭 Choices will always be my fav jegulus fic though, the mythology motifs throughout are immaculate, definitely give it a try (bearing in mind the tags obviously)!! :)
The fact the Dan and Phil are still in a partnership and owning an apartment and working together after what they went through together is mind-blowing to me. I just have so much respect for them 🎈
not simply an apartment anymore, they bought the house of their dreams together
Carly shipping Draco with therapy is really what did it for me
to be fair in a lot of fanfics he actually did
with all the ships that were straight up like "99% of the material was completely fabricated by fans" im reminded of why goncharov, the movie that was completely fabricated by fans, took off on tumblr
respectfully, destiel belongs in both babygirl AND electric chair category bc the impact it had on the culture?? undeniable but the cost that was paid in exchange? brainrot
no bc November 5 2020 was INSANE. no other ship had that impact
The love confession literally caused Tumblr and Twitter to explode and we all thought Putin was resigning as a result. 5/11/20 is a date for the history books
The way they immediately sent the gay angel to super hell after teasing this relationship for a decade was INSANE
Destiel gives ME brain rot even still. I will never ship like them again lol
as someone who has only seen the marauders fandom from afar i would absolutely love to see you do an entire deep dive into it, like it’s actually insane how much media has been created for characters either never mentioned or only mentioned once.
as someone in the marauders fandom, i can confirm the video would be 13+ hours long 😭 there are too many good fanfictions that have changed the standards and trajectory of the fandom (e.g Art Heist, Baby!, Choices, Crimson Rivers, Just Lovers (like we were supposed to be) to name a few)
which made me curious why WB decided to make story about newt instead of the marauders? they can made it into high school series/long movies. LIKE, WE HAVE THE AUDIENCE AND THE MATERIAL CMON
@margarete5920 Honestly making an official marauders movie sounds like a terrible idea since fans are the ones who created almost everything from scratch. If they took ideas from the fandom and profited off of it it would be a copyright nightmare, and if they did something completely different none of the fans would be happy since that would go against more than a decade of headcannons.
Plus, I think it's way more fun that stuff like marauders or goncharov 1973 are collaborative efforts by thousands of different people who still somehow manage to have a cohesive canon. Having jkr weigh in on what's canon and what's not would take away from the magic
@@margarete5920 yeah I definitely agree with what @kjarakravik4837 said, the whole basis of the marauders fandom is that we built it up ourselves, if we let JKR or WB get their hands on it (which they wouldn’t bc JKR hates fanfics and it’s queerness) they’d take away everything we love from it (e.g headcanons, ships, fanon culture in general), it would be awful.
On top of that, it would dilute what the fandom produces due to the canonisation. Essentially, people would start considering it as canon and the whole essence of the fandom would be gone.
i once made a powerpoint for my sister to explain the marauders and the fandom... it was nearly 5 hours long, and that was just the basics
I love watching Carley adamantly refuse to Google anything, really adds to the unhingedness.
truly devastating that my babygirl Merthur didn’t make it to this list
Dan and Phil finally recovered a little from the PTSD their fandom caused them and brought back the gaming channel, I could cry.
Don’t cry, craft
I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself
DanAndPhilGames is back, the world is healing
Or they needed more money after taking prolonged breaks from content creation 😂

@@S-CCCC……
Honestly whether or not Kaylor or Larry ever were a thing... believing they're still together is just absolute insanity. I cannot phathom even thinking that. Like !?!???
this!! like if it somehow came out that Taylor and Karlie dated in the past I wouldn't be THAT surprised but believing that they are still together is straight up insanity
Genuinely, with everything I’ve learned from going down the gaylor rabbit hole- still standing behind Larry is just plain delusion but still believing Kaylor is ongoing is insanity. Whether Kaylor happened or not, Karlie betrayed Taylor with her having (allegedly) known that Scooter intended to buy her masters and not warning her. Like forget the idea of them being romantically involved for a minute, that’s so deeply terrible on another level. Like it ruined their friendship regardless (and that’s not even bringing in the fact that Karlie married and had kids with a Kushner). To still cling on to Kaylor now is to ignore everything that probably ruined their friendship in the first place and if they WERE dating, that must’ve hurt Taylor way worse.
For both, it’s a level of delusion to still insist in something never proven that you’re willing to claim a real child in a real marriage is a cover up. Like that kid is gonna grow up and possibly be faced with those rumors and you honestly think their existence is just publicity????
I've gotten into fights with Kaylors, they genuinely terrify me too. Some think Karlie's kids are secretly Taylor's too which is insane. Like the commenter above me is saying, even if they were a thing they clearly don't talk or interact anymore. It's widely believed Karlie was telling things about Taylor to Scooter Braun. Why would you ship her with someone that betrayed her?
@@Allison1111the same actually goes for larries. They either think Freddie (Louis’ son) is a paid actor (and a doll as a baby) that they photoshop to look more like Louis, he’s the child of his grandma and step grand pa or he’s Louis and Harry’s child, because Louis obviously has never touched a woman in his life and bisexuality doesn’t exist (you know if lastly was real, he could still have a child with a woman, if he was bi)
As a larrie I don’t at all think they’re still together. It was only ever during the 1D days and I mean like the 2010 era.
i was an insanely prolific jegulus aO3 author my sophomore year of high school until i got hospitalized for a hypomania/depressive episode and the doctor put me on lithium and i completely lost all interest in them😭😭😭u just triggered a huge memory for me wow
lithium: it cures interest in fanfiction *and* lights on fire!
im sorry if this is rude but this comment is fucking hilarious holy shit
Omg pls drop what your user was I would love to read your fics 😭😭
I’m sorry I laughed at this
oh my god this has me PEEING THIS IS SO FUNNY IM SO SORRY THO
I’m assuming this is probably because Carley is Canadian but I can’t believe she didn’t mention how when destiel became canon it took over twitter and it was on election night. It became more popular on twitter than the election!!!! Also they are not brothers
Being a Marauders fan from literally the third book coming out as a literal child, I am both proud and bewildered at how much Wolfstar and the Marauders has adapted.

i haven't seen a single episode of supernatural but destiel deserves babygirl tier for november 5th 2020 alone. that day was so unhinged and fun even if you weren't in the fandom at all.
Truly so sad that Aziraphale and Crowley have not made it to the most popular ships yet 😔
That's because they're canon lmao
@@LenaBlak Lily and James Potter are canon T.T
Every day it’s getting closer
@@kennyvancullen9949 but they are barely show up in the story. people love the imagination more. i think that's why people love enemies to lovers too cuz it took awhile for the couple being together. they love the longing and drama in it
@@margarete5920 Ya, that's fair
I'm just impressed you were on Tumblr and managed to avoid Destiel by osmosis
it’s the way she put drarry at the bottom and jegulus at the top when they’re almost exactly the same but in different circumstances 😭
Never thought that I would hear the sentence ”if Stalin was a Sherlock fan“ in my life, but here we are 😭😭😭😭 Living for it tho
the marauders fandom is my favourite thing ever, because name another fandome that just created its entire lore based on 5 sentences in canon, like truly masterful.
and like i have never consumed any fanfic, but the presence is so powerful, like i KNOW the things, i ship the ships, i watch the edits, I've never read a single piece of fiction
and the fact the fans managed to create a cohesive and coherent canon? Mind-blowing dedication, truly admirable
If I was a psychologist I would dedicate my entire life to studying this incredible phenomenon.
Also I think you'd have a field day with Goncharov 1973, created from a tag on boots
@@kjarakravik4837 goncharov is literally so iconic
i've been a marauders fan since i was 11, and now i'm 24 and it's still going strong
The pronunciation of the names from Les Mis- I’M DYING 🤣
Also Destiel being in Sorry to This Man is criminal activity
I was so immersed in HP culture as a 90s kid that the fact that anyone would need the Marauders explained to them was beyond my comprehension😂.
Destiel not being in god tier despite being the most written about couple on ao3 is so funny hahah the subjective ignoring of their impact is gold. happy for you honestly do not go down that rabbit hole you will never be free destiel is forever
100%
The Bowser/Luigi ship? Mostly motivated from a particular scene from the trailers, but it existed for a while.
It's hard to explain because it does involve some lore that is too much to explain, but essentially a lot of people relate to Luigi because of his personality traits, and a lot of people like Bowser and thinks he deserves better than being a perpetual antagonist. Add anxious but lovable guy and mean monster who wants to be loved and you get the ship.
The Beauty and the Beast analogy kinda illustrates a lot what this ship is about already.
I started shipping them when I saw art of them in Christmas sweaters and when people started to discuss Luigi being Bowser Jr.’s step dad. Like the appeal for me is that this ship should objectively not be fluffy and cute at all, but like it is? And I love it
S tier ship
I’m reporting everyone involved with this comment, including myself
It’s also fed by how in the various sports games, all the characters are chill with eachother, like the kidnapping bit is an act or something, so it’s easy to make a more civil fanon where they could totally have a rivals to lovers arc
I’m glad my parents emigrated to America in the 90s so I could be born and grow up just in time for this moment in culture, this is the American Dream
The fact that Dan and Phil are actually gay 12 year old me literally would’ve exploded
& the fact that they rented a different apartment just for filming (13 yo me:🤯🤯)
I love Dan and Phil and I also think the lengths that people went to with their ship was WILD. To me, I just thought their friendship was a good dynamic and I was accepting of however they decided to identify (bc duh, they’re real people). I’m so happy that they’ve been able to overcome the struggles that came with having a popular ship to begin making content together again.
Those phannies were on FBI level and a lot of those theories turned out to be true… which must have made them sooo uncomfortable😢 it’s great to know that they still maintain a strong partnership after all the craziness that they went through.❤
fr. i think it’s fine to ship them casually and write fanfiction about them ig 🤔 i never did that but idk. i think it’s a whole other thing when you’re basically shoving your ship down the people involved’s throat and invading their privacy to “prove something.”
@@tsuki3752along this line, Phan is how I can now just Tell the different between “I’m writing some chill rpf for fun” and “I’m writing this rpf bc I want it to be real/i think it’s real” based on vibes.
This is also why kill bill sirens went off in my head when I first encountered DNF
carley please i am begging you to make an entire video just explaining marauders lore. it would solve all of my problems for at least an hour
seconded
the les mis section actually made me spit out my coffee with laughter i lived in my echochamber for so long i forgot normal people dont know the happenings of a 1300 pages long book from 1862 by heart, anyway loved it never change
Me as a marauders fan acknowledge that i am in complete delusion, and I am here for it. When you mentioned Dorlene (Dorcas and Marlene) I was so happy. This is the mental state that we as a fandom are in😭
Carley: I don’t care about fantasy it’s not for me
Also Carley: *has the entirety of the marauders ships in god tier* 💀
babe you cannot just drop that as a random fact on us, I'm going to need an entire video dedicated to why there's a conspiracy that Taylor Swift wrote All The Young Dudes because WH A T GIRLIE
I think for most of us it’s a joke but its mainly because the author who wrote atyd their username ended in 89, so 1989 and also a lot of taylor songs fit with the marauder ships
there's also something about how 'cardigan' could be interpreted as a wolfstar song, based on the lyrics, but i think that's most of it
Impeccable content, though I do have to add that Sebastian Moran (the other Mor in the MorMor ship) is a real character made by Arthur Conan Doyle, he’s just INCREDIBLY minor. He’s canonically Moriarty’s right hand man. Sincerely, a former MorMor shipper who still lives for the villain and right hand man trope
Yeah, wasn’t it just the BBC version that was canon?
The way you said these were recent and immediately whipped out 2010 Tumblr fancast edits...does the Harry Potter fandom know what year it is
No, we actually don't. We got caught up on the 70's 😭
I have to laugh. I love their madness
NOO I PROMISE THE FANART AND EDITS ARE SO MUCH BETTER IN 2023 AND NOT THE PHOTSHOPPED HEADS ON BODIES 😭😭
it was actually the 90s mulder and scully fans who came up with the term “ship” and i myself (being an 18 year old gay for gillian Anderson) felt the need to tell you this
I’m 54, my daughter is 28, we’re both straight, and we think she is the SEXIEST 🤭
mulder/scully & spock/kirk are shaking hands...historic "Wait....are they...??" moments
I understand the need because I feel the need to explain this to anyone who will listen 😭
The way sterek wasn’t brought up once truly makes me feel geriatric
It kinda broke my heart haha i'm still reading fics about them😭😭
They’re the most popular ship on ao3! I looked it up for a different comment on this video. I’ve never been a teen wolf fan (never watched it, too busy obsessing over supernatural and sherlock in high school I guess 😅) but I was a little (a lot) embarrassed how many of the top ships I recognized and/or had read (or written…) for. If you were wondering it goes sterek, destiel, drarry, johnlock, stucky, stony, minor or background relationships (which cracks me up every time, that it makes the list, but I guess statistically it makes sense), aziraphale/crowley, wangxian, bakudeku.
Also harry/snape has more fics than reylo which is cursed knowledge I’m forced to live with and now must share with you
the visceral reaction i had to carley not knowing if destiel were brothers. obsessed with how narrowly you avoided one of the most disgustingly unhinged and toxic relationships ever fabricated online. but yes destiel being in sorry to this man is painful and i need to be institutionalized
i love what she does for the culture 🤌🏽
is that a mulder pfp 👀
@@freddie6307 😏
The refusal to look up any actor’s last name is admirable. Martin Sheen? You’re my hero
In 2014 when i was 14 I shipped larry soo hard. Idk why I was obsessed with it, but it makes me so fucking uncomfortable to think about it now. And the fact that there are now grown ass adults still deep in the conspiracy about it baffles me. I genuinely feel so awful for my past involvement. Like, even if the shippers were right (which I honestly doubt), like who gives a fuck?!! Leave these poor boys and their personal lives alone😭😭
This was me and Phan, I was in sooo deep and it's embarrassing now bc it ruined their lives 💀
@@AlexGilbert_big same, phan was my entire personality throughout middle school and it just feels a little icky now. But like, you live and you learn.
Also, other than it feeling icky, it was also just pretty cringe. I did English assignments about them. Like I made my teacher deal with that crap 😂
I was deep in the trenches with Larry back in 2013 and dear god the level of cringe and utter embarrassment I feel now at how delusional I was is astounding. Idk how people still believe in that garbage 😂
@@ellie5995 fr😭😭
I used to be so confused about the marauders fandom, because they would talk about the characters in such great detail. I kept thinking like…surely we read the same book I don’t remember all that…I didn’t understand how the internet worked.
The totally unwarranted visceral reaction I had to Carley saying Star Wars instead of Star Trek - truly I did not think I could be so affected by that
the way hearing about the Marauders fandom from the outside perspective made me question my sanity like C'MON we've not only made up full-fleshed characters from two lines in the source material, we've accepted FULLY made-up characters who are not in the source material at all, and we just... go on with it? like it's okay? this is insane but i love it.
ok I'm French and don't know about most of these but the fact that you called les Miz' boys Enoljraze and GRAMMAIRE sent me dying bestie, thank you for your service (also, it is a very OLD ship, like dating from the book itself)
15:55 “i feel like this ship ruined their lives” dan literally said that said that if weren’t for their fans he wouldn’t have had the courage to come out like please be serious plus they dgaf about rpf in fact they encourage it!
knowing that thor and loki are indeed brothers made this so painful 😀
Agreed 😀
my favourite part of this video is carley merging star wars and star trek into the same fandom
as someone who has been a part of online shipping culture since i was 10 (where were my parents, honestly), but only moved from shipping the straights to shipping wlw couples when she came out at age 17, there are an abundance of wlw ships where the characters will just look at each other, and BAM, a 500k word ao3 fic that rivals the most talented of authors is there for you. i would like that to be studied, honestly, and also why everyone ships two men but no one ships two women
As someone who’s favorite movie is Pitch Perfect and has read most of the bechloe fanfics out there, my favorite wlw ship that is based off fanon is staubrey. Like it’s one of the biggest ships in the fandom but it’s based off of headcanons that Stacie, while hypersexual, is also insanely smart and grounding to Aubrey, who is made to seem crazy and over controlling in the films, but is just anxious and underloved. Like they rarely interact in the films but the fan interpretations of the characters are beautiful and in love.
(Which don’t get me started on the wlw fan ship that barely interacts in the movie that I can’t get behind because I can’t get behind a problematic age gap✌🏼, it goes both ways, some fan ships are a little too unhinged for my tastes)
@@dasiasaur oof yeah problematic age gaps are not it. I love how people can see two women, think they'd be perfect together and create amazing fics for them, that's so cool
@@supposedlymel fully agreed, if you were wondering what the pairing I found slightly problematic was, it was a pair that’s interacted even less than Stacie and Aubrey and it’s because it’s Aubrey and Emily, otherwise known as the person who graduated right after the first movie and the person who was an incoming freshman during the start of the second movie, which is about 3-4 years later because it’s then Beca’s senior year. So like 7-8 year age gap where the dynamic makes sense because it’s sweet puppy love with the overanxious underloved type. So the character dynamics are compatible but I can’t get past the weird age difference
As for the MorMor ship, Sebastian Moran does exist in the original Sherlock stories. So although he didn't make an appearance in BBC Sherlock, the only new thing about him is the fancast lol.
the way i keep thinking i understand internet culture and then someone randomly says shit like "some people think taylor swift wrote this extremely popular harry potter fanfiction about two characters that are mentioned like once in the books". I know nothing.
3:10 i wasn’t aware keke was our patron saint but i am delighted to learn this fact
I think we deserve a deep dive/ explanation of the marauders fandom
Girl the fact that the overwhelming majority on this list are men just troubles me for some reason. We don't have nearly enough charismatic female characters to allow girls and young women to pour their heart into. Even in the fictional wold we are putting men on pedestals instead of looking after ourselves. But we don't have to.
I read a paper one time that said the reason women love m/m ships so much is because the dynamic forces vulnerability from the male characters, which isn't fulfilled in real life hetero relationships because of toxic masculinity, and so women seek it out in other forms.
obviously not to say you're incorrect, i do agree with you to an extent. i just wanted to share a possible other cause.
@makingmils it's also alittle weird how straight women are obsessed with mlm relationships. I was reading something about this and it also felt like some kind of fetish if you get what I mean. "Oh they're so cute they cant possibly be in a real relationship"
@@teresagreen-e It's OK, I don't think we are contradictory. I think obsession can be a powerful thing, so it is painful to realize that girls and young women can only explore their own fantasies through male surrogates.
@@lesbiangoddess290 yeah it's just like how straight men love lesbians porn/ship but actually homophobic. It's one of the problem in 'shipping' fandom honestly. some just care about the ship, but when faced with real gay couple in real life they're like, ew
As a klaine fan, since glee was on the air, i agree with your electric chair ranking. It was a rough journey
As someone who was DEEP in the Les Mis fandom around 2015, this Enjolras x Grantaire rating hurts my heart. There is soooo much more to the ship beyond people finding Aaron Tveit attractive. I mean, people discussing the queer subtext of these characters is something that exists not only in fandom but in academic circles lol. Anyway, its just a very beautiful ship that has been expanded upon by the fandom in beautiful ways
This!
Yes exactly! The Aaron Tveit of it all just adds lol
THANK YOU!!!!
!!!!! you get it!!!
Victor Hugo literally compares them to orestes and pylades, achilles and patroclus, etc when introducing the amis... and they died HAND IN HAND in the brick
I’ve been watching Dan and Phil since 2013, but I hadn’t heard of The Valentines Day Video, until I watched this- I have nothing but respect for the fans who helped to hide it
I want so badly to go back in time to show this video to a pilgrim. If I didn't have time to show them the whole video, I'd just show them the line, "We now have a gay ship between a dwarf and a hobbit."
The amount of emotions released by seeing wolfstar placed in the baby girl tier made me realise that I am not over this ship.
marauders video is gonna go so hard whenever you feel like making it (if you ever do)

my fight or flight activated for a second because I thought I was going to be forced to hear you discuss Sterek after you said “top on AO3” and I simply cannot make myself go back into that 2009-13 headspace I won’t do it
I remembering seeing soooo much fanart and fic for Moriarty/Moran and I was so confused. Like, I had seen every episode of Sherlock but initially could not figure out where tf this second dude came from. It was only when I started reading more the original Conan Doyle stories that I figured out where the fandom pulled him from
carley’s complete lack of knowledge about les mis may have been the absolute best part of the video. and it’s crazy how enjolras x grantaire has an actual backing in the novel
28:21 they are 😂 the fandom loves to argue that since loki’s adopted then it’s fine but as someone who’s adopted I’ve always found it icky. It’s such a hard ship to avoid in the marvel fandom though, if you hide their tag on ao3 the number of marvel fics get chopped almost in half 💀
Who cares he's not real :D
Words can not describe how badly I want you to make a video about TS supposedly writing a fanfic
50% accuracy on "are they brothers?"
Bowser and Luigi is something I truly cannot explain properly to an outsider. It’s one of those things you had to be there for 😅
I... JUST now realized that the term shipping comes from relationSHIP, not somehow related to ships... I literally sometimes picture 2 characters in a lil boat when I think of shipping. 🤦♀️
I love you so much for sharing this!
wait i love that
Was just thinking "man, my feed's dry as hell" and then you pulled through with a long video AAHH perfect!!!!
Has anyone pointed out that Grantaire is pretty canonically in love with Enjolras in the actual book Les Miserables?
i genuinely feel like dan and phil coming out and buying a house together is what started 2020
nothing prepared me for hearing jegulus as the SECOND SHIP in this video. like that threw me for a loop for a sec omfg

this video took years off my life but i had so much fun thank you
Thanks for reminding me of the ever lingering sadness within me bc of Bilbo and Thorin. The things I would do to give them a happy ending have made me read slight variations of the same journey through middle-earth about 7000 times. Guess what, I already know there will be a heartfelt hug in the sunrise coming up soon, and yet here I am reading it like it’s a surprise.
I recently watched The Hobbit trilogy for the first time and was genuinely gutted that they only killed off the sexy dwarves
Carley, respectfully I am obsessed with you. The way you explain this unhinged stuff is just everything to me. Had me laughing and smiling and twirling my hair. A needed pick me up today. Thank you for your videos!
the fact that you were unsure about several of them being brothers 😭😭 so funny
12:01 THE WAY I RECOGNIZE WHAT VIDEO THAT PIC IS FROM LMFAO 😭 it’s “Back in love with you” by Bells and it’s such an amazing piece of art honestly
i was studying whilst watching this and i wasnt really listening, i heard 'jegulus' and my jaw dropped- then hearing you explain the marauders fandom made me realise how insane we actually sound 😭😭😭😭
edit: grant being made up and not even being canon and still making it into this video actually shows the complete chaos of this fandom im so sorry 😭😭
Carly referring to Star Trek as Star Wars is such a mood
@21:35 lmaoooo not "Star Wars" 💀
*Love everything you do, Carley 🫶🏻😂
the fact that up until 21 minutes of a 30 minute video the top tier list consisted ONLY of marauders ships is SENDINGGG me
I was so ready for destiel! And you did not disappoint!!! Castiel and Dean Winchester are not brothers- they’re best friends. Castiel isn’t even human- he’s an angel. Dean is a human! Their ship is totally fine and not gross 😂 also, it did become canon!!!
I had a full body reaction when I heard jegulus, it was like seeing a teacher at the club like girl I love you but you’re not supposed to be here
