#ao3 brainrot

[anextinguishedstarx]

Y'all ever love a fic so much you wanna scream to the whole world about it and show everybody what a fucking masterpiece your precious ao3 author has come up with? You ever wanna reread that one fic over and over until you know every word like it's your favourite song? You ever want to kiss the hands that wrote the beautiful piece and bow down to the author like they're God—because what they're doing is nothing short of God's work?

No? Just me?

Oh, ok.

Character DEPTH

Is just me or does anyone else wish the show went deeper into the character stuggles of the trio so they can actually confront them. It feels like charles, mabel and oliver have the same flaws each season yet they never properly face them or they do but lightly so the core is still unresolved. Ofc, they need to have these overarching character arcs but I just wish that they were kind of forced them to deal with themselves and really dig deep. The show has so much potential FOR this, like they're literally held at gunpoint every two seconds and have a mastermind villain after them like surely it should up the emotional stakes too?? Obviously, I love the humour and the fact that it's supposed to be a Comedy/Mystery but it just feels like there are missed oppurtunities for the angst and meaningful resolution.

Like in ep 7 when Oliver straight up says "Unlike you two, I have someone to lose" LAKJFSL- they coud have made this HEART-BREAKING and have a much more satisfying resolution like them all realising they have eachother to lose being all sappy like the found family they are. Instead it was Charles saying "You are my family"(gut-wrenching) to Mabel and her being too DISTRACTED to even clock it then it just moves on.

Even episode 8 - I was lowkey excited for the therapy session w/ Charles and Oliver like they would finally be forced to admit how much they meant to eachother- esp since Charles is very clearly feeling left out so that he needs to now "find [his] Loretta," so AGAIN, he admits this but AGAIN, it's treated like a throwaway to segway into Oliver doing another impression for a joke.

It's like my boy Charles is the only one actually making an effort in the trio to communicate but oli and mabel aren't actually GETTING what he's saying.

Anyway, idk- maybe I'm too programmed to ao3 slowburns now that every action feels like it should have an entire chapter of the deep and complex meaning behind it (lmao) but yeah, I just HOPE we can get more emotions from the trio coming up to the last two eps.

some stories are not about meeting.

they are about circling. about distance pretending to be safety. about two characters standing on opposite sides of the same room and still somehow becoming the center of each other’s world.

DRAGON & SEEKER: two narrative scents for what is kept, what is found, and everything that refuses to stay apart.

for everyone who has ever read a slow burn story and thought: oh. they were always circling toward each other.

“canon? never heard of her”

Look, I adore Canon. Truly. She’s like that responsible friend who shows up to brunch with a color-coded schedule and a sensible purse. I appreciate her. I respect her. I would absolutely let her hold my drink while I sprint into chaos.

But also… Canon gives me one crumb of interaction between two characters and my brain immediately flips open a 47-chapter Google Doc labeled “soulmates.”

Canon: “They’re just friends.” Me: “In MY house they share a toothbrush.”

Canon: “They met once.” Me: “Perfect. That’s enough for a three-book saga.”

Canon is out here doing her best, building plotlines, managing continuity, keeping the world from collapsing like a badly stacked Jenga tower.

Meanwhile, fanfic writers are in the corner like: “What if I bent reality like warm taffy and made them both emotionally constipated idiots in love?”

We don’t hate Canon. We love her. We just… respectfully wander off the designated path like chaotic forest children who saw something shiny.

Canon sets the table. Fanfic writers rearrange the cutlery, add glitter, adopt the waiter, set the kitchen on fire, and somehow make soup out of it.

Canon: “Please follow the storyline.” Us: “Absolutely. No problem.” Also us: immediately builds a completely different storyline with 99 percent feelings and 1 percent plot.

Canon is the foundation. Fanfic is the treehouse we built on top of it using vibes, duct tape, and forbidden yearning.

And honestly? It’s a perfect ecosystem.

i'm currently writing a brainrot version of my longest fic (11k words bc i mostly write drabbles and oneshots) and it is taking me SO LONG

I THOUGHT TS WOULD BE EASY BC I JUST HAVE TO WRITE HOW I TALK BUT IT'S SO HARDDDDD

i changed "sister" to "sistuzz" bro

on that topic, some other things from this wip include:

"the sky was lowkey the color of the tung tung tung sahur guy." (that's the opening line)

"seungmin's sigma hair was slicked back (no diddy)"

"pitch black, like my heart

"'yo, chill,' bro said, sigmaly. 'none of the huzz will care if the fit looks a lil wack yo.'"

"(pov: subtle foreshadowing)"

"she was wearing a weird ahh dress. kinda reminded seungmin of a rose toy." (HOW DID I COME UP WITH THAT LINE)

"all anxious and shii"

"bro's hair was bubblegum pink (is yours?)." (HUH!?????!?!??!?!?)

"nobody messes with a sigma."

"there were tables and food shi for all the bigbacks and there was a giant ahh dancefloor for the bruzz and huzz to aura farm."

"sat there like a little omega bitch boy."

i also made a reference to nct 127 because i had to describe something that was green 💀

also, this is what i gave myself to work with rules and guidelines wise:

I have a weird urge to make a 5 + 1 smut (or regular) fic of Agathario, or literally any ship like I literally have the perfect name for the hypothetical fic "Reasons why you should fuck Death raw with the strap-on you found in a dumpster behind the Walmart parking lot"

If that isn't the most perfect fic name then I dunno what is (I just need to find the determination to write it tho...)
