Hi! I hope it's if ask three questions together: 21, 5 and 8 for that delightful fandom ask 💕

in that order!

21. a fandom you're not active in anymore but that you still really like

Oh, tricky! What does it mean to really like a fandom. I have so much affection for most of the ones I've been active in, but at the same time it's often the fandom rather than the source material I used up my enthusiasm for and departed.

Yu Yu Hakusho, maybe? I posted a lot of like, character study bits on ffdotnet for it back in high school and I often think if the fandom was more active I might circle back to it with my more developed writing chops.

I have a lot of beef with some of the fandom's conventions around shipping though so I may not be able to fairly say I love it.

Maybe Trigun. I couldn't get through episode one of the new anime though because they took my Millie, so I failed to join the renaissance.

5. something you see in fics a lot and love

Also hard! Just for the broad scope of the kinds of things that are in fics. But haha, I'm not responsible for figuring out the the intended thrust of the vague question! There are no penalties if I guess wrong!

I really like the bit in a fic when the writer ties their story down to the canon mid-stream. It's such a distinctive feeling, there's a practically kinetic gestural motion to it, that you can often sense it in fics you've never read the canon for. It works basically the same in contexts where you're tying your narrative to an existing non-copyrighted mythos, or doing your diligence as the writer of a licensed sequel. It's the narrative equivalent of showing your sources and flaunting your tailfeathers. The most basic level is just making a point of including Emotionally Significant Plot Object without feeling the need to re-explain its significance in detail because we all know, but it can get so elaborate.

The other day I was reading this fairly high-concept fantasy novel that's quite well done but I can't decide if I like it or not, and it started becoming clear around the halfway mark that one of the major characters had been Merlin this whole damn time and I hooted in satisfaction and outrage every time a new piece of confirmation dropped. Same kind of deal.

Anyway fic creates so much space to do elaborate things with the relationship-to-source-material and I love seeing people have fun with it.

8. you hope more people will come to appreciate _ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc)

Hm. How beautifully fucked up Jiang Cheng is? This man is suffering so much and he's reasonably self-aware about it and this does not help in the least.

I think the self-awareness makes it worse, actually, because it means he's constantly on the brink of confronting the things he can't let himself think about straight on or he will have a massive fucking breakdown that he cannot afford.

Not enough recognition for how 90 percent of the time when Jiang Cheng is being awful he very clearly knows he's being awful and he kind of hates that and hates himself and is aware that his mom and dad issues are major drivers of this behavior. And none of that means he's able to stop.

It's such a unique hell. Appreciate.

I don't know why that was the first thing I thought of and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the kind of wish that was intended, but here we are.

weese u were insane for writing haze fr!! that fic is my roman empire gahhh ur brain is so wet and wrinkly it kinda drives me crazy

PLS NOTHING HAS EVEN HAPPENED YETTTT

ur so so sweet; just know a full fic is in progress and it's one i'm always adding too bc shinbaku is such an amazing dynamic imo

[mogai-sunflowers]

i am maiming, mauling, and biting that anon for you.

why do people gotta be so hateful, you can literally just block someone and not say anything about it.

whenever I get anon hate I feel like i have to do mental math to figure out what kind of person it’s coming from. is it because I’m mogai? a bi lesbian? queer? aspec? have paraphilic disorders? hate radqueers? i can never tell so it’s kinda funny trying to pin down why I’m getting hate. Most times I can never tell though 😂

[illwynd]

I understand u not wanting to make a post (tho tbh TR Stans coming out of the woodwork is good bc then we can all block them lol) but if u ever did make it I'd love to read it. mcu doesn't have any type of heroes anymore imho

well even the getting to block them part is... depressing, imo. yeah, it's necessary when you've got folks who can't disagree civilly or engage in any sort of good faith, but I always hate finding out there's more of those than there seemed to be yesterday, and it leaves the fandom feeling smaller and colder and more limited afterward. so it is hard for me to consider it "good," even if it means I've blocked more of the jerks.

but to the topic... i'll probably try to post it at some point, because regardless of whether one thinks there are any trufax heroes remaining in the MCU, there are certainly none of the sort Thor used to be.

[castawavy]

hi! how did you come up with the names of your characters for early birds? i feel like all their names fit them perfectly

thank you anon this is so kind! I'm so happy you like their names 🥺 !

for a lot of the cast members they are some of my favourite names! but also many of the characters are children of other ocs I had (a gen 1 cast basically that I won't go into too much detail as it's a lot of info) but everyone's parents had a story too! :>

with aoife, her mother was irish and aoife is one of my favourite name as it just looks so pretty written, and said out loud I love also! luna was named in a very interesting way, as orgrinally her character had powers relating to the moon, she also has a big interest in space, the universe, planets and stars so I feel the name suits her a lot! <3 avery I wished for him to have a very soft name, to contrast with how undelicate he can be (his mother is also partly french so it fits) but I also just in general love that name!! finn is MY ULTIMATE NAME aha for some reason I just love that name I would even maybe name my own kid that if I ever have them :-) but a fun fact it's from Adventure Time! isaac was actually named after another character from gen 1 who died, so his name was picked purely for namesake reasons that don't make any sense in early birds aha!! but the name is nice, it's a strong name which I like! AS FOR ZACH I just wanted a name that started with Z but I kind of regret calling him that :') HA sorry zach... originally when it was a supernatural story, he had a different name but it wasn't really fitting in a plain ol non magical setting PFFF

[pilot-critical]

i have a shitty memory and have stopped consuming anything about pilot after a certain point way back then but here's what i can recall for father time for the anon who asked about hom

he represents the phobia of time and appears in the first night terror game, he's a villian boss but then turned redeemable in the dreamscape where all phobias go after vince and the corresponding kid have their phobia conquered

i forgot how his relationship with mother nature (phobia of plants) developed but after they both got together on rehabilitation in the dreamscape, got married and had three kids, life (he/him), death (she/her) and limbo (xe/xem)

pretty much he's this no nonsense guy who's pretty much what i can describe as Peak British Tumblr Sexyman (sarcasm, serious, scary, likes stuff in order) in direct contrast to mother nature who's sweet, nurturing and gentle but they're both seen as parental figures in the dreamscape

i think while on rehabilitation in the dreamscape vince and father time are like these guys who become tight eventually but don't give up their nature of bumping heads towards each other

this is all i got mother nature and father time were my fave phobias in night terror and i'm sad both of them are shelved and have less of a spotlight way back then, moreso now

side note i could never remember much about mother nature she was gorgeous but fuckkkkkk i wish she had Way More than just her level design, father time's wife and mother of three OTL
