Fandom

Although the overall Knives Out fandom is small, Marta/Ransom is in the top 3 most popular pairings of the fandom. Due to the actions of Ransom in the film, many consider the pairing controversy or refer to the pairing to be "garbage/trash" (term is similar to a crack pairing). Others enjoy the chemistry the actors had together and ship them anyway.

So far fanfiction is posted to AO3 and tumblr has some fanish content.
