Sarah Z's video about the archetypes of Hunger Games fanfic OCs provides some really good context for You can make a bomb out of anything They're not reader-submitted but it is taking the author's existing OCs and dropping them into the hunger games arena. Lev/Ferrite is totally a weepie and Asher/Agrippa is such a mary-sue badass.

Fun to see that those are such well-known types-of-guy with an existing fanfic tradition and established expectations for how their stories are "supposed" to end

Another little vignette. Now with forcefem and even more hyper local references.

Image description: "Glowfic post from a character named Club 59, whose icon is a purple-haired woman in a pink hoodie and cat ears against a rainbow flag. Screenname: 'Never kill yourself there is always E.' The post quotes the lyrics to 'Freaks' by Timmy Trumpet."

That's not so much the Motte as mooning someone from the Keep.

I really liked this Ellen line.

Fonts hard

This in progress, but I am working on the design for the monument for Ellen (Violet) and Chase (Cinnabar)'s induction cohort in We Don't Need No Education I think I have got things almost right for them and Bob (Pewter) but centering is hard and I'm really not confident in the Ogham. In terms of rendering and transcription I am pretty confident in the long count, Hebrew, Younger Futhark, Greek, and Latin scrips. And reasonably confident in the actual words/meaning of everything written particularly since while the people making this know them better than I do they are not truly fluent in all of them.

Like they have had some classes in languages that are culturally important to them, but didn't grow up speaking Old Norse, Old Irish, ect.

And I haven't even started on all of the other people who joined with them. But since only these three show up in the main Unequalverse story line this is nominally just backstory to I may just include a cut jumping over them or something.

I need to write some fucked up straight people and/or to onscreen my two(2) decent person queer characters.

A big part of the Unequalverse was supposed to originally be that queerness was anti-correlated with being a bad person even if the base rate of both was high enough for individual characters to have some Unfortunate Implications. But I ended up deciding some characters originally intended as straight were queer, and in fact decided a certain mythological figure who is famous for being either a cool rebel or embodiment of evil depending on who you ask only became like that after trying to transition and getting kicked out of home (Heaven) then (literally) demonized so hard that the setting's partially belief magic system made her go along with people's negative stereotypes about her.

At the same time I started not giving screen time to the characters who were being boring about things like not committing war crimes.

Maybe I need to put the Dutch East India company back onscreen.

Me calling upon one year of Catholic school education to write a Catholic character: Ok so she was baptized, and the Pope doesn't know to excommunicate her, so she's technically still Catholic even though she did all that right?

[humanfist]

The thing I've been writing

Four immortal 'friends' from magic school in a psychic group chat with no mute button. And also mage war, but massive geopolitical repercussions are less important than group singalongs, and petty insults. Features: A vampire who had magic plastic surgery to look like Lister/Craig Charles to set up a prank he swears will be funny in the 23rd century. gangle tadc: a bipolar oracle with obvious inspiration. And two different takes on its not chuuni if she can do all that. Eyepatch emo with a real eternal curse, and an ace detective with a neo-noir internal monologue who can talk to ghosts.

Did I mention all of them are at least slightly queer? And they have enough knowledge of homestuck to diagnose but not fix the quadrant vacillation between both chuunies having kismesissitude, and the others taking turns on auspisticism duty.
