coprime: two game-obsessed, winning-obsessed nerds (ships that I ship)
Wednesday, April 5th, 2017 05:32 am
Canon: DC Comics
Pairing: Bart Allen/Tim Drake/Kon-El
Canon Level: Friends

Do I ship the trio because I like all the sub-permutations? Do I like the sub-ships because I think the trio is nifty keen? Or did I just like a couple of the sub-ships so I decided to try the trio and ended up liking the other permutation as well? I do not know, nor do I care. Because, see, the whole point of the poly ship, for me, is that while all the pairings work on at least some level, they work best when they're all mixed up together. Just Kon and Tim spends a lot of time on the broody side of the spectrum, even though I think they'd enjoy the company in their angst-fest, so having Bart around would help them not be consumed by the angst fest. Just Bart and Kon could spend a lot of time goofing around without ever getting into the nitty-gritty of an actual talk about their feelings, but having Tim around, even though he's not an open sort of person, could lend some weight to any conversations they have and get them to be serious. And just Tim and Bart...okay, I think that one works well as is, but I like adding Kon in. I've a lot of lingering fondness for him, mostly based on how ridiculously 90s he was at first, I will admit.
