So I can't really relate since there is nearly nothing out there for my fav to begin with, but I've been wondering...

I've come across sort of a decently popular fic of a popular pair and skimming through it, I see that a niche character (that's technically the "canon" love interest to one of them) is portrayed as the recurring Bad Guy, written to make their pair look better (both pairs are equally fine imo), and half-jokingly(?) badmouthed by the author.

Said character is objectively unpopular as is, and is part of an even more niche pair.

I wonder... if this were to happen to your unpopular fav, how do you deal with it? When your fav has nearly nothing but is almost exclusively written as the Bad Guy? What do you think of it? Did it happen to you? Does it kill your mood?

I've tried to think of a situation for mine, but my fav is more or less written in overall positive light regardless of the scenario. (Little victories I guess lol)

But I think... if it were ever happen to my fav who already has nearly nothing in fandom spaces, where everyone is so loud about how much they hate them, written somewhat mean spirited and often used to make other ships look better, I think I'd be so done ngl 😕

Actually... I think my mood is killed over less 😂 I learned that I'm absolutely unhappy when my fav is written as part of another pair. Or in any manner that doesn't revolve around my niche pair (romantic or platonic. At least acknowledge each other!). So I can only imagine how rough it probably feels when your fav is largely villainized by the fandom ; (

Or maybe... you're unbothered?

(Ehh ok I confess. Mere lack of outside interest made my desire to share new stuff plummet. I'm too self-conscious about it for my own good lol. I guess that's why I got very curious about this situation.)

I genuinely believe Axons were not made to be hostile.

I think it's quite clear papa made them with all the love in his heart for his family. The point is not violence (that's Clea's job lol). I think their approximate locations right in front of the Paintress is a deliberate choice so she has no choice but to see them. To be reminded of her true family and his love for her (the beautiful sirene.) and knock some sense into her.

I'm so glad at least one of the Axons was spared and cannot be canonically hurt 🙏🥺 (same as Goblu. But that's a different topic.)

And I'm absolutely certain The Hauler was no different. It wasn't meant to be hostile until its confrontation with Simon 😔🥀

This ties into my very unpopular theory that I can accept to be wrong, but depending on when the Axons were made, I wouldn't be surprised if Old Lumiere is actually part of the Axon? I don't think Aline in her grief cared much for details more so than just having her boy and family back and pretend that nothing happened. The artbook DID confirm the first she ever Painted was Verso, then everyone else.

There is also the strange white & red petals tree in Lumiere. Of course we saw it change to all red once all Chroma went back to Renoir, making it entirely his domain. But maybe it can also mean they both had a hand in the creation of Lumiere too in different times? After all, he did try everything even sharing her grief, but she never snapped out of it. Leaving him no choice but violence. (aka inciting the Fracture)

(Again this is all depending on when the Axons were made. I personally think that happened very early on before he got trapped at the very least.)

When everyone is scared of you, but it's the little guy who is the crazy one 🤭💦

[korvogrim]

Did you know?

The first time i fought Monoco, he *consistently* targeted Verso and only Verso for his transformation attacks through the entire battle. I was certain this must be an FF7 Rude vs girls reference moment where Rude would never target Tifa/the girls unless he had no choice 😂

And did you also know?!

During the Old Lumiere fight, my Verso was Gommaged INSTANTLY turn-1 I thought it has to be story based cuz what the actual fuck hahahwkfkqjaka 🫠

imagine: verso braiding simon's hair pre-fracture, just soft and easy, simon having been talked into it with a bit of reluctance because his hair is important to him and he doesn't let people mess with it often ( verso had to learn how to braid monoco's hair sometime ——)

and then, imagine them after the abyss, simon cracked and broken and memory in tatters, verso scarred and mentally exhausted, and this time verso's doing his hair because simon can't with one arm anymore, not easily, and his hair is all dry and rough and they're just both so heavy, but maybe in that moment, that little moment, simon remembers what it used to be like and just little by little those old things falling back into place

COE 33 Exchange Treatless List

If you missed the exchange signups, you're still welcome to participate by submitting a treat! To help, I've created a spreadsheet of folks who do not yet have a treat submitted into the collection (i.e., they're only getting their one assigned work so far), aka the Treatless List.

Feel free to check out the list to see if there are any pairings that interest you, then take a look at the requests on AO3 to make sure you avoid any DNWs and have a chance to look at the user's prompts.

Treats do not need to meet a minimum word count, they simply need to be complete works. Likewise, art does not need to be clean lineart or rendered, it can be sketches. Treats can also be submitted during the anonymous or appreciation period.

Late night doodle of my blorbos.

Good night~

[korvogrim]

I'm always wondering how long since Simon got trapped in the Abyss and honesty? While it's not clear, it has to have happened between E60 ~ E58

(After E60s valiant efforts finding rRenoir down there 😁 and before the journal mentioning the Curator by Verso's side.)

So about... 25~27 Abyss years, give or take.

And while it doesn't sound as dramatic as 60 years of Abyss, think about him wandering around all on his own for what he thought was the right thing to do, only for it to be wasting his life all for nothing 🥀 when he could've helped Verso and be by his side and his family instead : (
