Fanfic meme: 5. What’s your favorite headcanon you use in fics? and 11. What’s a fanfic idea you haven’t done yet?

5. What’s your favorite headcanon you use in fics?

Robin’s backstory in canon, though it varies a little, is always one where he was forced to do something he didn’t like, mostly go to war or grow up in a noble family. His tattoo represents his family’s coat of arms and he keeps it as a reminder of the person he doesn’t want to be.

11. What’s a fanfic idea you haven’t done yet?

I have this doc called ‘Wedding planner AU’ and all you can read inside is “Regina plans Robin and Zelana's wedding.” That’s it, lol. So until I can find an actual story around it and a twist that will make this less predictable than it sounds, it will remain that way.

ask me fanfic-related questions

[afterfringe]

So...I just realised checking my inbox page that I got these 4 messages something like 11 days ago (!!!) and Tumblr never showed me any notification (not even on my phone)...so...really sorry for the delay in answering this. Here it is:

Supergirl

my all-time ultimate fave character:  Alex 

a character I didn’t used to like but now do: It’s not really now but I didn’t really like Astra at the beginning. Boy was I wrong!!

a character I used to like but now don’t: I can’t think of anybody honestly. 

a character I’m indifferent about: Jeremiah. 

a character who deserved better: Deserved? Lucy. Deserves? James (and Kara).

a ship I’ve never been able to get into: Every ship with Kara (James, Adam, Mon-El). Also I couldn’t stand  Winn and Siobhan.

a ship I’ve never been able to get over: No one. (but I’m pretty attached to Alex/Maggie right now so fingers crossed)

a cute, low-key ship: J’onn and M’gann are the cutest!!! (COME BAAACK!)

an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: I don’t know if it’s unpopular, I don’t even know if it’s an actual ship but Kara and Barry have a nice chemistry.

a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: It didn’t actually happen but Alex/Maxwell. And Kara/Mon-El is pretty close to falling under this category.

my favourite storyline/moment: Alex’s coming out’ it’s my favorite but I loved Kara/Astra in s1. Favorite moment is Alex saving Kara stuck on “Krypton” in s1.

a storyline that never should have been written: the storyline in which the lead character of the show is almost a guest in her own story and hasn’t had a decent story arc the whole season. That shouldn’t have happened,

my first thoughts on the show: “Damn this is cheesy...but awwwwww!!!Look at my girls! I love you all!”

my thoughts now: “Mmmm...plot holes, Alex!!, mmm...wtf is happening to the writing of this show, oh Alex go get your girl and you two be happy and unicorns and rainbows, MonEl again??!!jfc, , Alex is crying - I cry, give KARA A DECENT STORYLINE DAMMIT!!”

Fringe

my all-time ultimate fave character: this is super hard...Olivia (but Peter is really close) 

a character I didn’t used to like but now do: Altlivia. It’s not that I didn’t use to like her...I literally HATED her for quite some time. But after the initial reaction I really warmed up to her and in the end I actually really liked her.

a character I used to like but now don’t: Not really like, but I remember I  felt for Walternate when Walter stole his son, and I know the story there is very complex but he did so many terrible things after that...

a character I’m indifferent about: Blue Lincoln.

a character who deserved better: Astrid, Astrid and Astrid.

a ship I’ve never been able to get into: Peter-Altlivia and Olivia-Blue Lincoln...you see a pattern here??? LOL

a ship I’ve never been able to get over: Altlivia and Altlincoln, they could have had it all!

a cute, low-key ship: Walter and Nina...they were the cutest.

an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: Olivia and Altlivia had a very fun dynamic sometimes...I liked it.

a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: Peter and Altlivia... I know...I’m that petty.

my favourite storyline/moment: Olivia stuck on the other side in s3, finding out our Peter was from over there and the whole backstory.

a storyline that never should have been written: Altlivia getting pregnant with baby Henry.

my first thoughts on the show: “ohhh...this looks interesting, gross, lmao Walter you mad genius, damn...I already ship these two”

my thoughts now: “ I will never love a show as much as I loved Fringe. I MISS YOU!!!”

Marvel asks: Peggy, Thor and Brooklyn :)

Thank you, May 😘😘

peggy: what’s your favorite era?

Took me forever to answer that because this particular question is just impossible lol I’d go with Mayan Civilization time, ~250-900AD. Just because it’s super mega fascinating. 

thor: what’s your favorite weather?

What people usually consider bad weather. Thunderstorms - the stronger the better! Snow storms - the stronger the better. Although a regular old rain would do, too. 

brooklyn: where do you feel most at home?

Vancouver. Always. 

Marvel asks!

thousandlivesreader replied to your post: Fanfic ask: 3, 8 and 10 :)

Yes!!! Bed sharing and mutual pining are my favourite fanfic tropes as well! But imagine the combination of these two things! I’d die reading my otp pining for each other while having to share a bed!

This is honestly the ultimate fanfic dream! Both of these tropes rolled into one is perfection.

Fanfic ask: 3, 8 and 10 :)

Thank you, May :)) 

3. Do you prefer canonverse or AUs?

Reading - anything. Writing - canonverse or AUs close to canon. Like when a dead character actually lives but they’re essentially the same people living in the same universe, not College AU. 

8. Bed sharing or roommates AU?

BED SHARING! Is there anything better than the last or only room with only one bed and both are adamant to not sleep in the floor and there is a ton of tension and sometime during the night they end up cuddling in their sleep. You will have to pry this trope out of my cold dead hands! 

10. Mutual pining or enemies to friends to lovers?

Mutual pining. There is nothing quite like writing two characters who are dealing with some sort of conflict or are frustrated with one another on the outside while knowing that they would die for each other.

Valentine Fandom Ask: 4, 11, 19 and 27 :)

Thank you, May <33

4. Name a popular ship you don’t get the appeal of.

RORY/JESS FROM GILMORE GIRLS! Gosh, I don’t get it AT ALL! And Spike/Buffy from BTVS - I mean, he tried to rape her, and yet they found a way to make him look sympathetic. Nope. 

11. What is a character you can only imagine in one particular ship?

I ship Pepper/Tony from MCU and Steve/Diana from DCEU excursively in this combination. And I would be devastated if MCU ever breaks up Scott and Hope. 

19. Is there a ship the fandom has ruined for you?

Plenty. For politically correct reasons I would prefer not to name said ships/fandoms but I don’t think there’s a way to avoid it, unless you’re a one-person fandom :P 

27. Name a ship that deserved better in the end.

WONDERTREV! Need I say more? They were so wonderful together and they had so little time with one another, and it was so unfair that they never got a chance to see where their relationship could go. (Although I’m not giving up on them just yet.)

thousandlivesreader replied to your post “STOP KILLING LIV’S BOYFRIENDS”

I relate to your annoyance of Major.

You know, I can’t even pinpoint what it is exactly about him that I dislike. He’s not a bad guy. He’s actually pretty decent. And I even considered the possibility of liking him back in s1. But now? Nope. Even though he’s actually preventing innocent zombies (and people) from being killed by Max Rager, he annoys me so much. He’s just so tortured all the fucking time. His storyline bores me to death. Probably because all his bla bla bla about how he’s helping but can’t tell anyone because then they’d be in danger is too familiar. Nothing new. 

And I dislike even more that his relationship with Liv is being painted as this made-for-each-other-but-can’t-be-together-right-now-because-of-circumstance crap. It’s not good angst. But they scream endgame and ughh I tried so hard to like them and can’t. (Plus it doesn’t help that he was so pissed at Liv for keeping her secret... which? What was she supposed to do? Can’t you understand how difficult it must have been for her???) 

And then along come Liv’s other love interests, whom I love instantly and get so attached to in the span of a few episodes, only for them to get killed off???? Idiotic.

Great characters? That's already a big yes for me. I'm gonna give it a try and see how I like it. Thank you😘
