>>117322981Nah man Billdip is the most popular (content-wise) GF fanfic just because it's gay, it even outpaced the even older Pinecest despite being based on absolutely nothing. Witness Lumity from the Owl House single-handedly generating an Owl House fandom practically, people love gay shit for fanfic and fan art for whatever reason. I think the second most popular GF ship on AO3 is Mabel/Pacifica. It's just the gay.
Something like Starco is rare and even that used to struggle to outpace Tom/Marco because gay.
As for whether people make Pacifica/Dipper shit anymore, oh I'm sure people do, the problem is only the Japanese and Korean GF fandoms still seem super active and the last time I looked they bafflingly cared about Mabel/Bill shipping the most. I'd guess because lolis and weird cute mascot critters are their way.
