top six fandoms/hyperfixations c:

i thought this was gonna be really fucking hard but it turns out i actually don’t shift hyperfixations as fast as i thought i did so it was only the specific ordering that was tricky hjdnkvjg let’s a go

6. homestuck - a fucking disaster in retrospect [both the fandom and the comic itself], but my experience honestly could have been a lot worse. i think getting into homestuck is where i started learning to really deconstruct media as i consume it, and nowadays i pretty much can’t read/watch/play anything without tearing the writing to pieces in my head, so i guess that’s something good i got out of it. i absolutely would not recommend homestuck fandom to anyone, it’s very high-risk mediocre-reward lmao, but between aus and rampant headcanoning and actually learning to fucking read it’s shaped how i enjoy media whether i like it or not so it gets a cursory last-place mention. also classpecting is still fun as hell

5. professor layton - another fandom i’ve sorta fallen out of, albeit in more of a ‘politely packs my bags and leaves’ way than a ‘fuck this shit i’m out’ way, but it was really nice overall. it’s a small enough fandom that everyone kinda knows everyone else [at least in the queer/neurodivergent corner that i frantically search for and sprint to every time i get into something new lmao] so i really felt like a Part of it while i was there. it’s just such a nice welcoming community and it felt good to be there and i wish all fellow luke stans and/or kinnies a very pleasant evening

4. undertale - i’ve blocked out all memory of my initial hyperfixation on it when i was like 13 because thinking about being 13 makes me violently retract into a perfect icosahedron but i’ve managed to find a nice little pocket this time that i can only assume is a sharp improvement over whatever the hell i was doing back then. i’m only in the baby stages of this hyperfixation, but i think now that the initial hype has died down and [presumably] a larger percentage of the fandom knows how to fucking read i’m going to enjoy myself a lot since the game has basically everything i like in media - it’s funny as fuck, it’s got hidden depths on an unimaginable scale, it tricks you into thinking it’ll be a fun little wacky brightly-coloured adventure and then it is that but it also punches you in each rib individually with emotions you weren’t prepared to have, papyrus is in it

3. sonic - sonic’s gotta be on here because i’ve been into it for literally a decade and it would not be an exaggeration to say that getting sonic colours on the nintendo ds for christmas when i was 7 changed the course of my entire life. like if not for sonic i very possibly would not be an artist and/or know that i am queer as hell and fuck. while i mostly observe these days rather than participating [one day i’ll pick up sa2 again or that sonic colours hd rerelease will be real and the hyperfixation will kick the fuck back in i’m sure] it really does seem like a lovely place to be now that i’ve slotted into the usual nd/queer section rather than blindly stumbling through the aggressively heteronormative masses on fanfiction.net

2. mother - mother 3 is my absolute favourite video game of all time, this coming from someone who doesn’t even like rpgs a whole lot. on the more serious side of things it’s helped me process a lot of things i otherwise wouldn’t have had a good reference point for, and on a more lighthearted note it’s led me to make so many great friends, including my now-girlfriend [cypress if you read this i love you]. it’s kinda hard to articulate but mother 3 is something that’s genuinely been so important to me for all sorts of reasons. this blog is and always will be a claus mother 3 stanning zone

1. phineas and ferb/dwampyverse - i’ve made like a million posts already about how pnf is really good comfort media for me so i’ll spare the details lmao but i think getting into pnf fandom was really good for my mental health for a bunch of reasons. not only is the show itself just a nice positive thing with no complicated emotions or heavy themes but the fandom is full of such nice people?? like i mentioned earlier with pl since it’s a relatively small fandom it feels really close-knit and friendly, which in conjunction with me posting about it A Lot makes me feel like i’m a really tangible part of things rather than just an outside observer who occasionally offers something up. i feel seen and heard and it’s just nice to be around people who care about my thoughts as much as i care about theirs y’know? it’s good. really good. i love it here. thank y’all

🎤 and 💎 c:

🎤fave line in a fic you wrote?

this was hard BUT id go with:

The water falling harder on the steps ahead was now bouncing and lightly falling on her feet. She felt her own toes wriggling at the sensation, the cold of the rain easier to bare than the dark eyes of the woman in front of her. Two black holes trying to suck every meaning of her words, her face, her actions, to pull them apart and understand them. It was as dangerous as beautiful to be at the edge of such, but good thing Sasha wasn't a black hole nor a sun, not yet at least.

in which a monster woman (pov character, annabelle) is in love with a quite intense human (sasha) 😔✊🌹 (from here)

💎 fave trope to write?

i love.......... enemies to lovers / hero(or anti-hero)/villain :’) for a terrible and often prideful character to admire or find peace on a good (or at least better) character, or for a good character to find recognition and some sort of relief on a bad character, its Fun to think about the mutual push and pulls of such relationships, the mutual good and/or bad influence on each other lmao

i also absolutely love friends to lovers but when it comes to writing it i think im much better writing the former :’)

2, 11, 12 and 13 (for any fandom that comes to your mind when reading the question) c:

(For this)

2. what fandoms were apart of that you aren’t any longer? I’d hesitate to say I’m no longer a part of any fandoms, but there are fandoms I’m rarely active in. Mainly thinking of stuff that hasn’t had new content in ages like Bionicle, Primeval or the Walking With series.

11. do you mind sex scenes or do you skip over them? All depends on the mood, I guess. If it’s just me I can manage, especially since depicted sex scenes don’t really become pornographic unless it’s like fanfic or something. If someone else is around, more specifically someone I don’t feel open about “adult” things around them... I’m probably gonna be more shy and skip.

12. if you could change one ending to a book/show/game/etc, what would you change about it? Hmm, this is pretty interesting to think about. Off the top of my head, I can’t really think of anything that’s big enough to make me really want to change something? I’m usually the type where even if I don’t like something, I can move on.

That being said... not crazy about the way Danganronpa 3 ended, but to say what I’d change I’d have to rework so much to the point it would take too much to think about for a simple ask, lol. Like, would it even be the same characters we focus on in the end? I definitely would like more thematic introspection though lol.

Thinking back, Primeval ended pretty dumb. At the very least get rid of the stupid tease of future(?) Matt at the end, and the way Helen and New Dawn worked together never really made sense to me.

I was also just reminded of Voltron, and even as a casual, fairly positive viewer... that final season sucked. All the theories about executive meddling make too much sense. Again though... there’s too much to start with, lol. At least don’t kill off Allura and Lotor like that???

Okay, I think I’ve found one thing I might feel strong enough about. It’s less an ending proper and more as it was called, an “emotional finale”, but... Act Your Age from Phineas and Ferb. That episode is still stupid as hell, sorry. For what I’d change, I think there’s a few routes. First is... not make it the ending. You can have all this questionable, messy shit... but use it to tell another story and explore deeper into these characters and why they ended up like this. If AYA was just a small part of a bigger story... maybe it could be salvagable (minus the bad sexist jokes of course :v)?

Another option is make a flash forward but with a more general premise. Have it be more optimistic too, just a nice look at the future instead of bringing it down with “adult” cynicism. Phineas and Isabella can just be a thing, we don’t need them being together to be a big event. Plus, more room to focus on the other characters.

My third pitch is... the show was ending anyway, don’t even bother with a flash forward, if you want the Phineas and Isabella storyline to have a big resolution, do it in the present, where it feels more important. I stand by what I said in that if there was no mind wipe at the end, Night of the Living Pharmacists would’ve been a perfect way to change the status quo. After they’re all cured, suddenly Phineas and Isabella have to face each other after she confessed in their darkest hour. Then boom, you have a lead in to Last Day of Summer. I wouldn’t change LDOS to be about them (okay with LDOS, I WOULD change Doof being cheated out of victory so he just thinks he succeeds tho, that wasn’t necessary, the audience doesn’t care about technobabble in PnF :v), but whether it be an extra episode (like an AYA half hour but in the present), a small series of episodes, or just a subplot in LDOS, having them face each other and come to an understanding, whether they get together or not would’ve worked better for me. Plus, I’ve always been a fan of having PnF be alongside Candace and Doof and experiencing the rifts, not just because it would be deliciously cruel to see Phineas watch Isabella forget him right after she confessed her feelings, but also because I think Candace and her brothers could have a more direct confrontation and THAT storyline gets resolved. Make LDOS two specials for all I care, I was never into post crossover MML or OWCA Files, lol (no offense to fans of those of course, I’m just trying to be economic in this hypothetical). Thank goodness for Candace Against the Universe for giving some closure on that front though, albeit in a way that didn’t challenge the status quo. I guess that’s sorta my point though - they broke the status quo with Doof leaving evil, so if they wanted they could do even more things.

13. do you mind sequels that are completely different with a new plot and new characters or do you prefer they stay with the same story and characters? All depends on the situation! Sometimes having characters and the same story return works, sometimes having a clean slate does. I don’t really have a preference.

What are your favorite ships? c: (OC ships of course)

YO (it’s gonna be long, I’m sorry)

Gotta say it - Scott x Helen is my absolute fave, it’s so obvious jdbfksb

I’m very emotional about Steven x Phil, Charlie x Rachel, Chuck x Melanie, Scott x Emily, Sarah x Elisabeth, Elisabeth x Vinnie, Vinnie x Luca, Jenny x Severin, Glen x Sally, a few of my OCs shipped with Ędi’s, a few I can’t talk about yet…

There are also my guilty pleasures (more or less) like Johnny x Joanne, Mason x Kevin and also Jay Kay x Scarlet who are like created for a story that I might one day do as a webcomic but I promise nothing, it just happened when I felt lonely and very gay jdbfksbdf

But I can’t forget about crack ships! Helen x Vasilisia, Melanie x Jenny, Scott x Jack (…..very lowkey and also now it’s far less because it was for my autotherapy and the whole problem is finally gone, hooray), Mason x Russel, Phil x Scott, Ryan x Nishant, Mark x Steven… we also have this AU with Ędi where Scott, Mark, Helen and Heather are the same age, and boys are together&girls are together because it came out of the realisation that they are each other’s “types” but it’s just a silly AU (but I really like this one jsdbfksbkf) ;;;;;

Welp, I have much more ships but there are those that I don’t even talk about because the characters are underdevelopped/come from a story that needs to be build up more/are a bit spoilerish so ;;;

Thank you a lot!! :’DD
