30 Years of Red Ships and Green Ships

Celebrating 30 years of Due South.

30 years of Fraser and Ray K (not yet but soon…). Also Dief’s great-great-grandaughter.

I missed the @ds30below ‘s fanart week; posting these a bit/too late but I hope it’s ok.

Charcoal pencil drawings on paper + a few digitally added effects

ALSO ON AO3 - onnakarot

When life imitates Due South

A Toronto area rental car company has been accused of renting out stolen cars, changing their VINs, and then stealing the rental cars from renters’ driveways so they can collect the insurance proceeds.

The real question is: did a Mountie and a deaf wolf solve the case?

Due South Fandom! It's been said before that there are rubber ducks in multiple episodes of season 3, but I wonder if they're hidden in every episode? Please tell me the episodes where you know there are ducks, I'd like to see :D

I've made it to Season 3 of Due South, and I'm trying to not be an obnoxious slash shipper wearing her shipping goggles 24/7 but holy fuck balls, these two.

I actually enjoy Fraser/Detective Thatcher and definitely saw some major sparks and UST with them through S2 but S3 comes around and in the span of 5 episodes, Kowalski has asked Fraser if he thinks he's attractive. (from the POV of Fraser being a woman) and now in episode 5, they are walking down the hallway and Ray is ecstatic because he thinks Fraser has given him the win over this argument he's having with Thatcher and Welsh.

Kowalski: I love you, Fraser.

Fraser: And I you, Ray.

Kowalski: -clearly taken aback- No not literally, I mean symbolically or something.

Fraser: No, I know. Thank you.

The way he quickly glances over at Kowalski and then away again with a blank face? Sends me.

But even taking out the shipping overtones, can we talk about how Fraser is completely comfortable just telling his male best friend he loves him without any ridiculous postering or even having to make qualifying statements like Ray does? Because Gods forbid a man tell his best friend he loves him???

Also this show is from the mid-90s at the peak of toxic masculinity culture and the rule of no-homo?

Sure, they do have that one absolutely infamous scene where Kowalski freaks out because Fraser gives him mouth-to-mouth to save his life, but again, I feel like his reaction made to lampshade Fraser's much more laid-back attitude about the whole thing.

Which kinda flips the whole no-homo context on its head. Something the show does a lot. LOL

30 Below: resources & AO3 collection

First things first: here's the AO3 collection for all your future fanworks! Yay!

Now, some links to get you started.

🐢Where can I watch due South?

Well, we're all in luck — it's on youtube!

There's also Slings and Arrows and Hard Core Logo, both great—but not only—points to get into Canadian 6 Degrees. You can DM this blog, flownwrong on DW or emotionalrisotto on Discord for a better quality rip of HCL, or something more obscure ;)

🐢Are there transcripts?

Why, yes, there are — wonderful and detailed, on Dreamwidth and AO3. Courtesy of @agentreynard!

🐢Where do I look for history and discovery?

@juniperpomegranate's lists of Livejournal and Dreamwidth DSC6D communities are an endless rabbithole of joy (note that some of them are alive on DW, pop in to see what's up!)

LJC's due South page is just one example of many, many fansites of yore. This one is still up, offers lots to see, and links to many other fansites (see: Wayback Machine)

Fanlore. Linking categories, not just fandom articles, because there's a lot more: due South | Canadian 6 Degrees.

Official site, archived. Honestly, this one is just cute. This is a link to a random snapshot — if it doesn't work, see below.

You'll have to deal with a lot of broken links. Most often, Wayback Machine has your back: paste the link into the search bar and click around on the timeline until you find a working snapshot!

These links are just a few ideas, and mostly concern the online era of dS fandom — please feel free to share your own suggestions.

Otherwise — just pick a link and go from there. Use whatever you find as inspiration. You'll likely see something I didn't and do something I haven't thought of. That's the point. Enjoy!
