It's dangerous to go alone, take this podcast with you! Join us as we stumble through the sweeping lore behind the Legend of Zelda universe, much like Link stumbles through Hyrule after a century-long slumber. We will unpack the holy trinity of the Zelda universe and why the ship leaves us wanting more... and if there might be a spicier alternative from the darker side of the Triforce? We follow the Zelink breadcrumbs Nintendo sprinkles throughout Zelda's lore and the game's history to reach our ultimate One True Pairing score.

Boil, boil, we're ready for some trouble. 😈 Today we delve into the popular yet controversial Harry Potter ship: Dramione, the fanfic-driven romance between Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. We'll dig into the origins, criticisms, and fan fiction adaptations of this ship to explore how Dramione transcends the original books to become a fan favorite, despite its problematic roots and the perpetual Harry Potter controversies. With mentions of popular fanfictions, Tom Felton's charisma, and the ship's irresistible tropes like enemies-to-lovers, they dissect why Dramione captivates so many fans.

The odds are in your favor today, as we dig into two controversial couples from the Hunger Games universe. Join us as we delve into 'Hayffie' — the ship between Haymitch Abernathy and Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games. The episode explores the dynamics between the two characters, discussing their contrasting personalities, shared trauma and potential romantic connections, in canon and through fan fiction. We decide if there's any legs in the source material or if the ship is just based on the chemistry between Woody Harrelson and Elizabeth Banks, whose off-screen rapport fueled the Hayffie ship in the fan community. For a rare double helping from the same IP, we explore the forbidden romance between Coriolanus Snow and Sejanus.
