This is going to be a slight departure from what I usually write about because it’s a step relationship. (Usually being a loose term, because I haven’t published something on this blog in way too long. But just a reminder: I am still active on tumblr @shipcestuous with stepcest (in addition to adoptive/in-laws, cousins + more distant, and nonfiction are all) posted @shipcestuous-two.
Did any of you guys watch Stargirl? It ran for three seasons on the CW (with a proper ending) and is based on characters from DC comics. It didn’t tie in with the Arrowverse, but had some of the same names involved in production.
First, let me say I’m not writing this as a recommendation, exactly. I think the show is pretty good, and the relationship I am going to talk about is GREAT, but it’s probably not going to have an appeal for a lot of people. The taboo factor is extremely high – not only is it stepfather/stepdaughter, but it’s soooo wholesome. This is more of a situation where I just felt like I shipped it enough that I just wanted/needed to talk about it. (I watched the first season around the time that it aired, and recently rewatched season 1 and caught up on the second and third seasons so it’s all very much in my mind right now.)
The mainest of main characters are teenager Courtney (played by Brec Bassinger) and her stepfather, Pat (played by Luke Wilson). In his younger years, Pat was a sidekick to the “Justice Society”, a league of superheroes led by Starman (Joel McHale). The Justice Society is wiped out by a team of villains, and Pat, having been put on the sidelines, is (seemingly) the sole survivor, charged with passing Starman’s special weapon (the “cosmic staff”, which is really cool and almost worth watching the show for) onto a worthy successor. This successor turns out to be Courtney, by accident, ten years later.
