Wank Wednesday: Kurtofsky Wanks

Ship wars rarely go well, but for this Wank Wednesday, we’re covering an especially controversial one: The Kurtofsky Wanks, a debate over shipping Dave Karofsky and Kurt Hummel from Glee.

A long-running TV show featuring a wide cast of teenage and adult characters, Glee tackled the issue of internalized homophobia by introducing a plot line where Karofsky kisses Kurt, despite having bullied him for being gay. From there, two factions within the Glee fandom split off: those who thought Karofsky deserved a redemption arc and those who considered him incapable of returning from his antagonistic role. All of this lingered over the fandom’s shipping culture, especially those who shipped Kurt with Karofsky and those who shipped him with other characters.

Though never fully resolved, Karofsky eventually got a redemption arc (without dating Kurt), and this fandom wank has died down as Glee ended. Were you there for this debate? Did you take part in it? Learn more or add your own thoughts on Fanlore!

Summary: "It hadn’t taken long for the word to make its way around the cultivation world. Wei Wuxian, the Yiling patriarch, the dark individual who had cast a shadow over the collective peace of mind of all the clans had been defeated.

It was true.

Captured, beaten, stripped of his legendary weapon, Chenqing, and currently held in the dungeons of Lotus pier, the very place that he used to call his home, it seemed his reign of terror was finally coming to a close."

An AU where Wei Wuxian is captured shortly after Jin Zixuan's death. Hearing his beloved sentenced to death Lan Wangji finally has the impetus to bear his heart and confess his true feelings to Wei Ying. But what happens when new love has no time? When everything you've held precious is shattered and scattered to the winds, how do you find the will to keep going? How do you even begin to conceive of tomorrow?

When I Started: Back in the middle of the pandemic during a manic depressive episode.

How I Lost My Shit: It was just taking super long man.

How I Finished My Shit: When this year’s @wipbigbang came up, I thought, it's now or never baybeee! Gotta get this done! It's finally done, can't believe it happened. This is my first ever original fic. I started it about four years ago in the peak of the pandemic. Things were rough and dark, those days and the years ahead would see a lot of depressive lows and horrible manic highs. But through that time my sister introduced me to The Untamed and MDZS became kind of a small beacon of light. Because of that story I suddenly found the will to create art, to write again after not having done so for years.

I'm still not sure exactly how or why this fic was written only that I enjoyed the journey of it and am glad to have finally been able to finish.

To those of you who were with me from the very beginning you have absolutely NO IDEA how much your kudos and kind words and spellchecks and feedback gave me hope and light through some ridiculously tough time. In the four years of working on this fic I've struggled with mental health, gotten a diagnosis for cyclothymia, been evicted twice, had to move back with my parents who are hoarders and live in a shack, move again, get married twice once in a different country. You guys stuck with me through it all and I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for your readership and your eternal kindness. Once again thank you to everyone who was kind enough to kudos and comment. May the grass be ever green beneath you feet, may your lifetime be full of good and wonderful stories, those you hear, those you tell and those who you experience first hand.

All my love to you all.
