I've just remembered The Marvelous Mrs Maisel and how confused I was about the popularity of the Midge x that Lenny guy ship. I just stared at my screen when I saw how many people were into it. I mean, Lenny was barely a supporting character, how many episodes did he appear in? I kept forgetting who he was. I found their sex scene very awkward, and not like it meant anything, when Midge literally fucked a guy (whose name she didn't even know) in a previous episode. I'd have thought more people would be into Midge x Susie, this being the site that claims to care about the gays so much. But what do I know. Ftr I didn't ship Midge with anyone, I'm not usually a shipper, and I expected the show would have her reunite with Joel at the end, bc that's what it was looking like, so I didn't bother with shipping. But I liked the way it ended.
What I mean to say is. With Daisy Jones and the Six, I experienced the same type of confusion. The popularity of Billy and Daisy as a ship, more than anything, confused me. I literally was like "what?", much like my profile picture. And the way everyone kept going on about "kemmystri" made me feel like I stepped into another dimension. It still remains one of the most baffling things I've ever experienced in a fandom.
Do the above two things have anything in common? Both were on Amazon (which is just a coincidence), both take place in 20th century in an entertainment industry. So the lesson learned is: never ever watch another TV series set in performing arts.
