NO! GOD! PLEASE! NO!
NOOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
heavily biased "what fandom was the first fanfic you read for" but for my specific fandom generation instead of people who are currently teenagers
power leveling shonen juggernauts (g1 naruto, bleach, dragon ball, etc)
weeaboo crew (anything that made you more of a weeb than watching dragon ball)
harry potter
superwholock
cult classic live action american tv (buffy, xfiles, star trek, etc)
homestuck
boy band rpf (anything in the span from backstreet boys to one direction)
emo bandom (mcr, fob, p!atd, of course, along with anything else in that realm)
twilight (books or movies)
lord of the rings (books or movies or extended universe)
star wars (books or movies or extended universe)
other (put it in the TAGS i am a fandom HISTORIAN i need to KNOW)
addendums: cult classic tv overlaps with early supernatural seasons somewhat, i am aware, just choose based on the cultural context in which you read your first fic.
for weeaboo crew i was thinking of examples like hetalia, black butler, soul eater, etc--popular anime absolutely included but the distinction is that people who were into dragon ball weren't necessarily going to anime club every week and making deviantart stamps about yaoi, but people into ouran high school host club ABSOLUTELY were.
homestuck is in its own category because homestuck changed fandom forever at a critical time which just happened to be when i was growing up in fandom. harry potter, lotr, star wars, and twilight are in their own categories because they were such multimedia juggernauts they had entire archives dedicated solely and only to their fic that spanned multiple franchise reboots (books -> movies -> extended universes). (i acknowledge star trek technically would fit under this but at the time culturally it had more overlap with other cult classic tv fandoms.)
honorable mentions that didn't make it to the list because i had to pick-and-choose with the 12 answer limit: the final fantasy franchise (axed because i am not familiar enough with the fic scene to know if it was as iconic of a gateway drug as, like, naruto or twilight or star wars fic), a general YA lit category (YA lit outside of twilight only went mainstream slightly after this time period), the MCU (i have a hate boner for the MCU), a broader "american superhero comics" category (this would be valid as an option but i don't have the space)
Been getting back into Dynasty Warriors so itās Liu Shan time :-p
You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degreeābut what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are justā¦mellow.
Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around themāand so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realizeā¦
ā¦they've never actually told you anything about themselves.
I never thought Iād say this, but this is Liu Shan to a T
Loving this ai thing
A kiss from Xingcai to brighten emperor's day!! (Now that she and I are back, I couldn't help it hehe ^_^ )
It has admittedly been a long while since Xingcai has disappeared. Truth be told they had both disappeared as far as the public were concerned. Losing loved ones as their home was surrendered to another force tends to lead one to hide from public scrutiny. But while Liu Shan was still the now-former emperor of Shu, Xingcai was but his former empress and personal bodyguard. She could leave in the night, with only the clothes on her back and the weapons in her hands and the horse racing beneath her, and no one would ever notice.
Melancholy is so easy to settle in without her support by his side. But he has read her letter over and over, waiting for the moment she returns to his side. And when she does, it's when he least expects it, a kiss on his cheek while he's walking along the garden path.
"M-my dear Xingcai, I...you've returned, and..." he touches his cheek softly, unable to hide the smile growing on his face. Softer, reaching his hand to touch her but hesitating centimetres from her warm hand, "you've...you've returned to me."
@thekingofsadnessā
This feels like a call out post, except the call out post isnāt even technically about me.
I feel like I should be offended
Woah, I got the historical ending!
Wow, I didnāt know they put canon endings in this game
Nothing fills me with pride like knowing I am taller than Liu Shan and that I would absolutely own him in a fight.
Please don't make yourself an asshole. Be like Rafe de Crespigny
He has a Ph.D. and a reputation. I have OCD and lower back pain.
Rafe is Australian and therefor not human.
Every Australian is not human. I just watched a man walk on searing concrete pavement without any shoes. His feet were completely burnt but he was walking normal.
Australia is only for immortals among men. We have no fear. Just pain and beer.
A "historically accurate" and objective allegiance chart of Dynasty Warriors.
I honest to god breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Liu Shan wasnāt in theĀ āhas weird fetishā category
At the risk of sounding dirty, here's the secret of the DW males.
Had a dream that Warriors Orochi 5 came out, and for some reason the Fall Guys were there as some of the newcomers, as the entire cast has to stop the spread of something calledĀ āmaliceā that corrupted people, and the game was partially open world, and Iām just saying, it would have been a good game.
Also Liu Shan was there, which is always good in my books
In preparation for tonight, Suzuki-san posted a picture of himself as DW Liu Shan on Twitter. Does this mean we should have faith in his vision for the future of DW?
I got confused and I thought you meant minoru suzuki.
Wait, WHAT?!
I...need pics. And maybe mind bleach. But also pics

google: be mysterious!

liu shan: so where are we going?
xingcai: none of your fucking business
