back in the heyday of mlp fandom there was one specific guy that commissioned insane amounts of self insert shipping art with pinkie pie. when the finale and confirmed pinkie fucked weird al instead he got a comic of his oc watching longingly at them like walking through the park with their kid and just solemnly accepting it and it was the funniest shit to me. he took it so seriously it was like a genuine breakup

THIS IS SO FUNNY HE GOT CUCKED BY WEIRD AL

Upon later reflection I'm kind of obsessed with the melancholy of this. Oddly sweet? I'm charmed.

Heya there. Welcome to a crash course on crossover fanfiction. As someone with extensive knowledge, having read several, several hours worth of the stuff and having written a lot of it, I feel qualified to do this. Here are some things, good or bad, you'll find about the genre.

- Essentially Isekai.

These are stories that have a character or multiple transferred to another dimension or world. The character, their friends, and powers can be wholly alien to the world, making them a point of intrigue to the regulars. Using everyone's favorite crossover menace, Danny Phantom, as an example, with him being dropped into another universe, usually DC. The fun part can sometimes be explaining how he got there in the first place.

- "What do you mean? I was always here."

These are stories that have two or more worlds always having existed with each other. They may not have mentioned anything but they were always there. The fun can come from explaining how and why they never mentioned anything. Again using the ghost boy, there have been plenty of stories about why the Justice League did nothing with all the Amity Park nonsense. Or explaining how the different power systems interact like they've always been there.

- Just use an oc bro

These are stories that are crossover only in name. The character(s) being crossed over are so dramatically different from the people they claim to be that it's not even funny. There's rejecting reality and substituting your own and then there's having a character pull something they genuinely never would. An example that comes to mind is a Ben 10 x MHA fic I read once that had Ben be this hyper competent badass that easily took out All For One off screen by giving him a heart attack with some crazy tech he invented in human form, something he would totally do (sarcasm) and use a new alien that was totally more powerful than Alien X trust me bro to "fix" every problem on Earth, even though he literally refused to do that already in Ultimate Alien. Just use an oc at that point bro.

- He would not fucking say that

These are stories that absolutely bastardize the crossed over character(s). Again, there's nothing wrong with changing personalities for angst or salt (I have also done that), but it's better to emphasize what's already there instead of making a new person with the same face. I'm talking homophobic Bruce Wayne levels of ridiculous. That man is an ally and a bisexual whore(affectionate).

- Why are you even here?

These are stories in which the crossed over character(s) contributes nothing to the story other than words. A character being there has to affect something. How the story flows, how events change, how people develop. Having a character be there but change nothing is a waste. Once more bringing up Phantom, there was a story, another MHA one, that had him be nothing but lip service. A boy that was made strong enough to beat all the UA staff at full power at once, but couldn't stop the USJ Nomu, meaning All Might still had to lose time, couldn't do anything of substance during the Camp incident, despite being able to catch and take out all the villains, and couldn't do anything worth him being there. There is some overlap with "Just use an oc bro".

- Suddenly a harem protagonist

These are stories that, as the name suggests, make the crossed over character(s) suddenly be the hottest thing since sliced bread. Does it make logical sense? No. Would anyone act like that? No again. Do they have any reason to act like that? Will of god I guess.

These are just some of the "fun" things about the genre. Leave some of yours if you have any I didn't mention.

Ekko gives the vibe to me that he'd look at someone funny for suggesting his step kid isn't his kid iykwim, like he's the only dad Isha knows I feel like he'd respond to "don't you want one together" with "what are you talking about we have her 🤨"

you’re absolutely right, he’s definitely a ‘:)))) no tell me Exactly what you meant by that :))’ kind of person

I am Andrew Ryan, and I’m here to ask you a ques­tion. Is a man not enti­tled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No!’ says the man in Wash­ing­ton, ‘It belongs to the poor.’ ‘No!’ says the man in the Vat­i­can, ‘It belongs to God.’ ‘No!’ says the man in Moscow, ‘It belongs to every­one.’ I rejected those answers; instead, I chose some­thing dif­fer­ent. I chose the impossible. I chose… Rap­ture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the sci­en­tist would not be bound by petty moral­ity, Where the great would not be con­strained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rap­ture can become your city as well.”

Imagine being Rocky in your spaceship when the first errors begin and you realize that the predator is eating your fuel and you have absolutely no way to stop it. Imagine thinking that even after all this, the death of your crew, the unlikely partnership, the wild success, the almost self sacrifice, you're never actually going to make it home. Everyone you love is going to die a slow and painful death.

Or almost everyone. The only bright spark is the friend you made along the way, the one you gave just enough fuel to make it home. You have to hope that he's not in the same predicament, but you know that his ship is made of strange material that could resist the amoeba better. You couldn't save your own world, but you could save his, and maybe that was all you could ever do.

You settle in, you make peace, as Grace would say, and just as you lay down you hear an impossible sound. A sound you think at first you might be imagining. A sound that is achingly familiar. A sound only possible because you insisted that you both make it out alive.

There is a knock at the door.

[feral-em]

Feeling emotional about the concept of Rocky being able to hear Grace’s heartbeat. Like what do you mean he was alone for 46 years and he had no choice but to sleep without anyone watching, terrified cause he’s never had to do that before in his life, but then he befriends this alien and he’s weird and soft and his internal organs make noise and maybe that’s annoying at first but it becomes something soothing, a steady presence, always there. It speeds up when he gets nervous or excited and steadies out, calm and predictable, when he sleeps - and it’s always the first thing Rocky hears when he wakes up.

And what do you mean that the first time Rocky fell asleep after they parted ways to save their respective planets, he had to wake up to silence instead of Grace’s heartbeat.

Phm from Adrian's perspective is just what if you were Penelope and Odysseus came home but he also brought a jellyfish and keeps begging you to build a fish tank for the jellyfish and make jellyfish food for the jellyfish and youre an ancient Greek whos never seen a jellyfish and you cant even comprehend how your going to do it but youre going to because if you dont Odysseus may kill himself. And also the jellyfish can do like. Witchcraft.

[stealthetrees]

I think Rocky named Grace ‘Dumbass’ or ‘Idiot’ or something and then just never changed it. Then when they get to Erid he’s so used to calling his alien friend ‘Shithead Moron’ that when he introduces him to a large crowd they’re all like ‘woah man what the fuck’ and ‘that’s not nice!’ and ‘you can’t say that bro that’s too mean’ and Rocky has to awkwardly explain to Grace why they’re upset. Grace, who is now very familiar with Rocky’s standard vocabulary, laughs until he is crying on the floor and can’t breath, which makes all the other Eridians panic while Rocky stands there yelling at Grace that it’s not that funny asshole.

[berryblossom314]

I’d like to think that Rocky can crack every one of his “bones” super loud since he’s made of rock and it scares the fuck out of Grace. Rocky starts doing it more just to get a reaction out of him.

(Grace cracks his back once in retaliation and freaks Rocky out because why can you do that your body is soft and leaky nothing should be making those noises)
