last weekend’s request: gerard way in vintage pjs
For whatever reason you’re in the closet, you deserve to enjoy pride!
The thing about fanfiction after writing original fiction for so long is that it feels like taking weighted clothes off. If I wanted a cool plot twist or a reveal or a mystery I had to set up all the expectations myself. I had to set up the red herrings, the clues, the boundaries of what was reasonable.
In fanfiction I drop a name from canon I never referenced before and it will carry the weight that a hundred pages of set up would carry in original fiction.
Do you have any fucking idea how intoxicating that is.
The shared language of a fandom in fanfiction is so amazingly conducive to a type of story telling that we lost when public domain was gutted as a legal concept. And it’s such a thrilling way to make stories and I weep for how rare it is to encounter.
Like you sort of get a ghoulish attempt with star wars style “look it’s revan” but it’s still only a handful of people who get to play. With fandom everyone gets to play with the full toolbox, with infinite chances to try.
It’s striking me really hard after reading this post–so much of what is considered the ~canon~ of western literature really arises out of this situation where everyone who wrote (i.e. a tiny minority of educated men and the very very rare educated woman) was operating with a common set of referents. There were just so few books, back then, and if you were educated enough to write, those were the books you had read, and that your teachers had read and told you about. Everyone got the same references.
We talk about the Divine Comedy being Bible fanfic and so forth, but it really was in a way we don’t always articulate–it wasn’t just that it was repurposing other stories the author had read. It was the product of an author who felt himself a part of a community that had this shared set of referents. He only had to allude to things, and his intended readers knew all of the context. Being in modern fandom allows us to be part of a community that likewise shares a canon and shares references and influences, something that is increasingly lost in modern copyrighted fiction where everyone is constantly desperate to be original.
Hello!
Howdy!
I’d like, uh, two normal rolls.
Sure thing!
And one with the… With the pumpkin seeds.
Which do you mean?
The one with the… With the seeds.
What are they called?
Uhm… A, uh, “crunchy pumpky.”
Sure thing. Would you like anything else?
Uhh… I’ll also take a, uh… A… A Nutella donut…?
Unfortunately, I don’t know at all what you mean…
A… One of those right there!
You really must tell me, what’s it called??
I… I’m… I’m a dumb piece of shit.
Sure thing! Anything else?
That one there?
You know what you need to do. [Here she switches from the formal, customer service voice to addressing him casually and familiarly.]
I… I’m a little greedy pig, oink oink?
Do it!
[grunts like a pig]
That comes to €13.50, please! Have a beautiful day!
Hello! I’d like an “I hate my father” and two “I have a small willi—” [The word that gets cut off is Pimmel, an un-sexy term for penis.]

You know how modern society takes the effects of vaccines for granted and doesn't understand how bad diseases are? That's how zoomers are with cigarettes.
urgent questions
[ID: TGCF comic starring Hua Cheng. The first panel shows him reacting in shock to an array communication from He Xuan, who tells him: "His Highness the Crown Prince of Xianle has ascended (again). Anyway, he's gonna [be] on this mountain." A location pin on a mountain is shown. Hua Cheng then kicks down a door, in the style of the Candace meme from Phineas and Ferb. He yells, "OMW!!" then suddenly freezes and and goes, "WAIT." He's focused on the earring he's wearing; a red bead with a tassel.
Hua Cheng then runs to his computer (a bulky vintage-type monitor) and begins searching, "Which ear is the gay [ear]". Various screenshots show that he receives mixed results, one saying the left ear, another saying the right, and an AI Summary unhelpfully telling him that it's the left ear, but also the right ear. Hua Cheng sweats as he reads through the search results.
Finally, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are shown meeting in the Gambler's Den, when Hua Cheng is in his true form. Hua Cheng is showing Xie Lian how to throw dice. Forgoing the earring entirely, the red bead has been woven into Hua Cheng's braid. /end ID]
