"yea i know how this is gonna end. pass."

initially, i was worried that skylor wasn’t at the tournament of sources because something happened to her or her element but then i thought about it and why would she come if she was invited LOLSIES

just getting a flying letter as an invitation to something called the “tournament of sources” where you must compete using your element and whoever is the “one to remain” gains every participant’s power

she probably took one look at the invitation and went huh seems familiar … NOT MY PROBLEM THIS TIME!!

I know these two shows have nothing to do with each other but I hate so much the argument that "Jay couldn't continue being an inventor because there were too many characters with that role", when in shows like arcane you have like 4+ inventor characters and they all feel like special in what they do. Just make him a mad scientist and I'll be happy

Question I would like to ask the fandom- what age do you think Morro died at? (Anything Tommy said on Twt doesn’t count)

I headcanonned him as 19 when I first started getting back into the show as that was the age I was at the time. Now that I’m older the age at which I see him anyways increases.

Do you think his mind aged even though is physical body hadn’t?

I love Morro talk so friendly discussion?

This is petty fandom salt, BUT... I've been chewing on this phenomenon that I've been calling "Fandom's Darling". It is related to things like "Author's Darling" and "Mary Sue / Gary Stu" and "Protagonist Halo" and all that jazz, where one character gains a peculiar narrative weight in a story.

"Author's Darling" is when a writer has a favorite character, and the world and all other characters sort of get... warped to put the Darling in the spotlight. It's most noticeable in TV shows with multiple writers, when a character you personally like suddenly has their previous characterization destroyed to make another character look good somehow. Every other character might become weirdly incompetent. The Darling's feelings are treated as The Most Important Feelings in any given situation. The logic of the fictional world seems broken past suspension of disbelief in order to validate this one character's beliefs or skillset or some other fantasy. And so on.

"Fandom's Darling" is what I've been calling the pattern where a fandom essentially crowns a New Protagonist for their fanfiction stories (often a side character rather than the original protagonist, but it can also happen to protagonists). This character becomes the self-insert for all sorts of indulgent power fantasies, gaining special powers or backstories, and/or becoming the focus of whump, and/or hooking up with various hotties, starring in all sorts of tropey AUs, and so on. They're not always an obvious Mary Sue version of themselves, but the character's original personality and interpersonal relationships tend to get warped or dropped completely. I call it "Fandom's Darling" because it's not just one self-indulgent fantasy fic (you do you! Have fun!) with characterization that I personally don't like (I have neither the time nor the desire to police anything, I am just venting), but rather a mini-fandom of sorts revolving around this empty doll / fanon version of the chosen vessel character.

I am salty about this (mildly frustrated) (imagine a soft sigh of disappointment before I go do something else) because you are FUCKED if you actually liked the canonical version of this character and their interpersonal relationships. It's almost worse than liking an obscure character that no one cares about. There's about a thousand fics starring your fave, but maybe only about a dozen of them are actually rooted in any kind of recognisable canon.
