anghraine: a close shot of catra from she-ra, a girl with cat ears, heterochromia, and long hair (catra)
Over at Tumblr, the main women's wrongs poll finished. After 4,464 votes (easily my most voted upon poll ever), the top four results were:

1) Clytemnestra from the Oresteia (19.5%)
2) Carmilla from (Le Fanu's) Carmilla (16.4%)
3) Catra from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (15.3%)
4) Cersei Lannister from ASOIAF (10.7%)

C is the letter of choice for beloved morally dubious female characters, apparently!
anghraine: david rintoul as darcy in the 1980 p&p in a red coat (darcy (1980))
When I was sick(er), I posted a Tumblr poll asking people to choose between a bunch of Darcy/not Elizabeth pairings (ten, specifically). I deliberately excluded Darcy/Bingley (both specifically and by not listing an "Other" option) because it's a hard NOTP for me ... and inevitably, I keep getting comments about Darcy/Bingley not being on the poll. Just deserts, I guess? My favorite one is the person who seemed very offended that I included cousin incest!!! (Darcy/Fitzwilliam) but not Darcy/Bingley. (Lalala what canon cousin incest in this fandom, I guess.)

Also, multiple people are very dismayed that Darcy/Emma is doing really well in the poll (I'm not sure how well, but it seems to be near the top of the running currently). It would be unhealthy, see. Unwise. That is certainly not part of its appeal and not something people are ever drawn towards in general. /shoves a third of my ships under a rug
anghraine: darcy and elizabeth after the second proposal in the 1979 p&p (darcy and elizabeth [proposal])
It's been a couple of weeks since the shipping poll finale, so I think it's safe to say that the ultimate winner over here was, also, Elizabeth Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy.

I thought it was interesting, since the sample sizes were so different, that the results of each individual poll were almost identical to the Tumblr ones even if the proportions of the wins were different. The main different result was that the two Leia OT3s, Leia/Jyn/Cassian and Luke/Han/Leia, tied over here, where L/H/L clearly won at Tumblr. Justice for my rarepair pool noodle :D

But at least among my collective followers, Elizabeth/Darcy is always going to be a hard one to beat. OTP of ultimate destiny!
