#????? I still don’t know what to tag for this fandom

[eobe]

Happy Valentine's Day to you all 🥰✨ARC trooper Echo CT-1409 is CT-1402 today and he's coming for you 😽 Get SHOT! 😎💘

Big shout-out to @lonewolflupe's wholesome Valentine's event 💘 Spread love, send messages, melt and drown in sugar, because you're the most loving and supportive community I've never dared to dream of 🥰

A close up, why it’s Echo, the targets and the inevitable ramble below the cut… 🏹

I always get grumpy and blushing when too much pink, glitter, candy and stuff, but deep inside I can't help myself and yield cuteness overload dopamining 🫠✨

ARC trooper Echo is on duty for this day and he won't do a job without the best and most badass gear! ✨😈 He even borrowed himself a winged sky trooper jetpack and Omega’s bow, but only because he can 😎✨ But Maker, he's allowed, he deserves and it's Echo! 💕

Have a closer look. I never did lighting like this before! 🤩 I don't know if it's accurate – I just thought and tried to imagine of how materials would reflect, how much and where and in which angle 🤯✨

I had fun and some frustration figuring his pose! First, he's with the jetpack, what to do with the legs?

Second, as I'm an archer myself, I wanted to give him a good archer posture, but he has a scomp too! +50 skill, +50 difficulty, +100 badassity. Good thing he can hook in this bow-ring of the Zygerrian design and I'm aware that there are many little inaccurate things to find, but I'm still a drawing Padawan, not a master 😂🫶

Third, angles. Can‘t tell what it is exactly. Something worm's eye view, little mortals on the ground looking up to sweet doom coming down from the aurora skies 🤩✨🧡❤️🩷💜✨

But I‘m actually a proud little drawing Padawan looking at this artwork at all 😱 Echo, you're worth the hours. Fandom, you even more. Get ECHOed, cuties 🫶 And everyone, who sees this! 💘

My headcanon, why it has to be Echo:

(Domino Squad at the Barracks)

Echo: No! NO, I don’t want to! Hevy: Vod, it HAS to be you! Echo: This just... isn’t fair! Droidbait: What‘s your problem, brother – I can’t do it, I‘d manage to get shot with this myself! Cutup: And besides that you‘re not as half as cute as Echo! Echo: (teeth gritted) hrrr… shutup cutup! Fives: Echo, they’re right AND you’re the only one around who has the number CT-140... Echo: (interrupting) YOU are the one who always echoes that were NOT our numbers, not me! Why don't YOU be named "Echo", huh? Fives: (handing Echo the Cupid bow, doing huge puppy eyes) Vod – yes, we‘re not numbers, but being Cupid CT-1402 is actually a good thing and... not matter any numbers, you're just the best of us all. 💕🏹 Cutup: … And you really can’t hand this Droidbait! All: Shut up, Cutup!

Could you please do a Mike Franks with prompt 15. “I fell for a boy who could never ever let me walk home that way 'Cause you gotta be safe”?

Tagging: @kmc1989 @ilovemark1951 @love-affair-with-fandoms @clarasmoon @star017

Prequel to:

Life Lessons (NSFW) - Mike and you don't play the games other couples do.

Count To Five (NSFW) - Mike comes home to a naked woman in his bed.

Pool House (NSFW) - You and Mike steal a moment alone at the LA Law Enforcement Conference.

Shirt (NSFW) - Mike turns up to a crime scene to find you wearing his shirt.

Love Is A Strong Word - Mike confesses his feelings after a disagreement.

Baggage - You confront Mike after he says another woman's name in his sleep.

The Written Word - Mike's world is turned upside down when he discovers a letter written by Violet before her death.

The Way of the World - There's a reason Mike's been teaching you all those life lessons.

There has always been chemistry between you and Mike, right from the first moment he stepped into one of his crime scenes and discovered the old NIS liaison Barry Gilford had been replaced.

Truthfully he wasn’t sad to see him go, the position was a power game to that asshole. He’d withhold support or information, using it instead as a bargaining chip. You are much more amenable and if he’s honest a lot easier on the eyes too.

Over the months he starts to like you, really like you. You used to be a master of arms before you left the Navy because it was too structured, you have your own C.Is you’ve cultivated from that time and an insight into the inner workings of the military that comes in handy on his cases. You’re smart too and wicked funny, the kind of humour that makes him laugh despite the gruff front he tries to enforce. You give him a run for his money and Mike, he hasn’t experienced someone who can do that, not for a long time.

It comes to a head over drinks. The team are celebrating the closure of one of their cases, he’d invited you along because without your invaluable expertise they’d still be dead in the water. It starts with the accidental nudge of his knee against yours under the table, he tilts his head to apologise but you have that look in your eyes.

Mike, he knows when a woman’s attracted to him, he can feel it on a visceral level.

Next it’s his arm around the back of your chair, an invitation you take to shift closer. The scent of your perfume floods his senses, something light and floral that reminds him of Texas in the spring. He drinks it in as his thumb traces a light pattern across your shoulder. Your hand comes to rest on his thigh and it feels like electric dancing under his skin as your fingers trail up the inner seam of his jeans. He spends the next thirty minutes struggling to follow the conversation as he adjusts the woody in his pants.

When he offers to walk you home you both know where this is heading, all that tension, all that build up, it feels like he’s about to combust as you link your arm through his, setting off into the night.

“So now you’ve walked me home, what’s next?” You ask as you stand on the doorstep toying with the keys in your hand.

You look so tantalizing in the glow from the street lamp, teeth biting your lower lip as you look up at him through those dark lashes of yours.

“I should take myself home like a good boy.” Mike says, his voice rough as his hands coming to rest on your hips as you lean in close.

“But you’re not a good boy are you Mike?” You tease, your fingertips chasing over the buttons of his shirt.

“No.” He says, his mouth brushing over yours. “No I ain’t.”

Happy Valentine's Day from Fives! Read messages below the cut

Thank you so much for being my friend and someone to bounce fic ideas off of. You’re such a great writer and I can’t wait to see how your fic progresses. Happy Valentine’s Day, my friend!

From: Misty 💙 ( @tealmisthams )

To: @snarkyfina

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your support of my writing and for joining me in my love of Five-soka. 💙🧡 Happy Valentine’s Day, my friend!

From: Misty 💙 ( @tealmisthams )

(Note from Lupe: I'm sorry for adding the '-' in 'Five-soka', but I didn't want to get this post filtered!)

To: @tealmisthams

Misty!

Please accept some Fives as a token of my gratitude for your lovely friendship <3 I'm at a bit of a loss for words (ironic, given my messages are usually paragraphs long) to express how truly thankful I am for our wonderful chats, character analyses, Fives and Ahsoka fangirling, Severance theories, and for all the writing support. You are an incredibly talented writer and truly have a gift for balancing angst with really sweet/tender moments. You always manage to do it just right and I am always inspired by what you create and how dedicated you are to working on your writing while balancing everything else in your life. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!

Thank you for all the wonderful works you've created for the fandom and for your friendship. I'm always excited to get a notification from you.

Sending you much love (and to Sable/Mabel),

Mimi (and Fives, who inserts a few winking emojis here)

I don't know you very well but you made the mistake of being nice to me (tagging me in a tag game) and you ain't getting rid of me. You're my beloved mutual now.

From: Kote ( @kotemf )

To: @aknightreaderr

To my dearest editor,

First of all, I know you might be disappointed in receiving a Valentine's message from me instead of from a certain sensitive (sensible? sensory? sensational? serious?) sergeant, but he was unavailable. Believe me, I tried, but a certain.. biting child got in the way, so I couldn't reach him. So I get an A for effort and you get a F for Fives!

Jokes aside (although I know Hunter is no joke to you), I'd like to thank you for your service and your friendship (and your patience). I know I can be a real handful, and so do Echo and Rex and Fox and probably a few (million) more. But after everything I put you through (fame included, of course), you're still sticking with me. And I really admire that about you.

Just know you are loved and appreciated around here. Rex just said how lucky I am with you as my editor, so I called him Captain Obvious.

Wishing you lots of love (Echo just added: wish her lots of love 😏)!

From: Fives

…

To: @aknightreaderr

Hi! I really love your blog. Your writing is incredible and it always makes me laugh. Also Ask Fives is a brilliant idea and you write it so, so well! I really admire your ability to write crack.

You were also the first person on Tumblr to tag me for a writing challenge or a tag game, I don't really remember what it was anymore but thanks. It meant a lot. It's an honor to be able to call you a mutual.

From: Kote ( @kotemf )

To: @lonewolflupe

Lupe, bestie!

It’s ya boy Fives. You really thought that you could hide behind this event and share the love and not receive any back? YOU ARE WRONG!

How do I love LoneWolfLupe? Let me count the ways. Actually, I won’t count the ways because that would take all of eternity and it’s not that I don’t have time for that, but I think I might lose my voice (RIP).

Lupe, there is no one quite like you - equal parts kindness, chaotic (which makes me shed a tear bc you get the Domino Twin vibes), creative (a writer AND an artist? The galaxy is shaking in its boots), and encouraging. Your selfless nature could melt the coldest heart (maybe I should get you to talk to Rex when he won’t let us go to 79s because we’re ‘a handful.’ I know you could sweet talk him out of it. And also because if you don’t come with us, then where is the party?)

Always keep your head raised high and take life a day at a time. You are more than capable of achieving anything you can dream on the timeline that suits YOU (Echo said that was cringe life advice but please know I speak from the heart).

But truly Lupe, I’ve never met anyone so generous and supportive as you. Thanks for all you do for us clones (and the earthlings). We always have your back! *insert lots of winks here and a hug and also Tup says hi*

Happy Valentines Day 💙

LIVE LAUGH LONEWOLFLUPE,

Fives

p.s. I wrote you a poem which is from me and Echo but he didn't write it

Sorry but yeah, this. I get that some people get into the Danny Phantom fandom by fanfics, fanart and so on, but at least try to watch the show or something. To be a fan of something you should at least watch the original source material and enjoy some of it.

Not saying you can’t enjoy what the Phandom makes etc, but I don’t feel like that makes you a ‘Phan’ since you haven’t seen the show or don’t intend to. That or you watch the show then go “wtf, this entire show isn’t like the fanfics, I’m going to just go back to reading them and pretend this doesn’t exist.” That’s not how it works. Especially when characters in said fanfics act NOTHING like their canon portrayal counterpart. I’m talking emo-Danny or Gotham-Danny.

Danny isn’t scary (he has literally 1 scene where he’s scary), Danny doesn’t dress in all black, Danny’s not edgy. He’s an anxious, stupid and stubborn teenager with anger issues at best, not saying that people can’t portray him as otherwise, just that fanfic Danny isn’t canon Danny.

I hate Sam, canon-in-show Sam, Phandom-improved Sam I like but I don’t pretend her actual character isn’t a terrible person. I acknowledge she had terrible/no character development but I still enjoy the original show and the fanworks with her included.

“Guys, I love The Owl House. Never seen the show, but I read only the fanfics and look through all the fanart and I’m now a weirdo too!”

See how wild that sounds? You aren’t a fan of the show, you’re a fan of the fans, that’s nice and I’m grateful you appreciate the works made by others, but that does NOT make you a fan of the show itself.

This is also why so many Danny Phantom fans are SO sick of the DPxDC tag (or tagless -_-) filling up our feeds because 90% of those fics are more DC-centric with characters who call themselves the same names as DP characters but act nothing like them, and don’t even get me started on DPxDC getting involved in the DP events now, can’t even have the DP events to ourselves anymore.

The DP characters are just there to fill an empty slot that could EASILY be filled with OC’s because that’s pretty much what they are at that point, they only bear the resemblance through name and powers. It feels like there’s zero respect for their source material or that everything that makes the characters THOSE characters is removed and Danny’s basically stripped down to “a teenager with ghost powers” then people tack on a bunch of random stuff that has nothing to do with Danny after that.

At least AU’s and headcanons keep some of their original traits, but the one piece of fan-media I do see that seems to disregard it entirely is DPxDC, and then the people who make it get confused why Danny Phantom fans don’t like it. It’s because it just feels disrespectful and rude to change so much to the point it’s not even the same thing.

I’ve read many DP crossover fics that don’t fail to do their research, that respect both medias that are crossed over with each other: DPxMarvel, DPxGF, DPxB10, DPxTeenTitans(!!!) and more, yet somehow DPxDC just doesn’t manage to do DP as much justice, that’s kind of ironic isn’t it?

Anyway, yeah, sorry but I had to get that out of my system and I don’t care if people get upset with me over being honest about things, I KNOW I am not alone in this.

I will acknowledge that those DPxDC fics are well written, but I feel like the name ‘DPxDC’ doesn’t feel right, it’s “DCxBoy-Who-Happens-To-Be-Called-Danny-Fenton-And-Also-Has-Ghost-Powers”. Just make a DC OC with Ghost Powers at this point ffs -_-

Not to sound like a stupid gay nerd or anything but why the fuck are you guys making fanfiction and AUs for a show you've never, ever watched. You drive me up the fucking wall!

You cannot be a fan of something you've never watched / read, that's like saying you're the worlds biggest fan of spaghetti when you've never eaten a single noodle. And then you go and write a blog post about what you THINK spaghetti tastes like, and how good it'd be with ice cream. Make it make sense guys c'mon

Okay so with FOP fading back into relevance because of ANW and garnering new fans, I’d like to point people in the direction of @fountainpenguin’s whole damn archive of FOP’s expanding canon and whatever sprinkles of lore the original show had thrown out. Using it as the scaffolding to this mighty bridge of creativity and expansive lore, with fics taking place during, before, and after the original show.

I haven’t even given it all justice. There’s loads. It’s grand. It’s creativity incarnate. Go, go, go.

HELLO FIVE NIGHTERS i am back again and you can’t stop me from appearing spontaneously. Hello.

hardly any representation of Sarah here i know i know i’m sorry.. but um 👍👍 at least she’s here

ANYWAY i have. NO idea what to say about this. if you have any question ask (PLKEASE 🥹🥹 PLEEK… PLEEK…?) idk what to ramble about unprompted, normally i can talk on end for hours at a time but rn my brains drawing a blank.

uhm fun fact: Millie has memorized the name and location of every main artery thanks to the plague on society that is funtime freddy

I AM EDITING THIS POST TO SAY THAT UHm millie and sarah were in the same grade at the same highschool. no they were not friends at all. millie thought sarah was annoying for constantly wanting to be like other people and be “popular” (she HAAATES the popular kids after her “bff” ditched her or whatever the fuck happened in the book and she CANNOT understand anyone who wants to be like them), and uhhh sarah thought millie was WEIIRD she thought she was super super weird and carried diseases like rabies or some shit yk. like she’d camp out in the woods and kill frogs or some shit yk. she’d follow flocks of crows to a corpse to examine it yk. rumors like that LMFAO

[quibbs126]

So for some reason my YouTube feed’s been giving me a lot of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss critiques that I keep watching, and in doing so I’ve come to a conclusion about the way Hazbin Hotel is written

I know I’m like, a year late to the criticism, it’s just an observation I had

I feel like it was written with the mindset that the audience is already supposed to know who all of these characters are and all their deals, as well as the general setting. Which leads to the problem of certain characters not getting developed enough, characters seemingly existing in the story for little reason like the V’s, and new characters popping up every episode

For someone who already knows all the characters that existed prior to the show airing, all these characters are no big deal, you get to meet some new characters like Carmilla and Adam, and you get answers to established questions about the series. Actually seeing Heaven in this universe, as well as finally meeting Lucifer or learning the truth about Vaggie’s origins are new interesting things, instead of reiterating things established fans would already know

But the problem is, not everyone watching the Amazon show is guaranteed to know Hazbin Hotel prior to the series being released, and most of the reviewers I’ve been seeing weren’t familiar with it. And thus, if someone who doesn’t know anything about the series beforehand watches it, they’re going to be completely lost, and the significance of certain characters is going to fly completely over their heads. Like if you don’t know who Vox is, how are you supposed to understand what he’s doing here or why he’s getting all this screen time when he doesn’t really do anything in Season 1 of the show itself?

And yes, Hazbin was already a very well known and popular series, and the pilot’s free to watch on YouTube, and there’s plenty of information on the Wiki, but on an official platform, there’s no guarantee the people watching the series know of it beforehand, and it should be written with the idea that some people are going into the series with this mindset

Like take for example, the pilot mostly being canon, at least as far as I can tell. You’d only know why half of the main cast (that being Alastor, Husk and Niffty) are even here if you watched the pilot, where they get proper introduction. Charlie’s the one who owns the hotel and Vaggie’s her girlfriend and basically second in command, while Angel Dust is their only current resident, so their place here makes sense with little introduction other than those bits of info. But meanwhile, why is Alastor here? Why is Husk here if he seems to basically hate it here? Why is Niffty here, did someone hire her? Who?

Like I said, the info’s in the pilot on YouTube, but how many people who are going into the show blind are going to know that you have to watch the pilot, which has different designs and voices for all the characters and thus could easily be mistaken for no longer being canon, to understand things going in? And fact of the matter is, I think people prefer when all their needed info on something is in the same place, rather than having to go to another site to find necessary info, so they probably aren’t going to watch the pilot until they know they need to

Funny enough, I eventually realized that this is the sort of mindset one would have for writing fanfiction, which I know the writing gets compared to often. In fanfiction, the reader is expected to already know who all the characters are, as well as the setting and relevant plot info, so the author doesn’t have to spend time explaining it all and can just get to the juicy stuff, unless it’s new things they added that have to be explained. But unless it’s an AU where the setting is heavily revised, that’s not going to take up that much of the writing

This probably wouldn’t be an issue if the series stayed on YouTube, but it didn’t, and now it’s something that has to be taken into account. Granted, I’m not sure how much of this can be fixed going forwards, Season 1’s already out and established. But it is something to consider

look i don’t LIKE yucking people’s yums, even if they’re MAJOR yucks for me. the rop people can play alllllll they want in their own sandbox and i genuinely hope they enjoy themselves!

i just wish people wouldn’t be in denial about what their show is and that is an original fiction with some borrowed names and premises. it’s like saying there’s a Santa Claus Cinematic Universe™️ because there’s so many Christmas movies with Santa in them and that it’s perfectly justified to tag your Elf (yes the movie with Will Ferrel) gifs with Chronicles of Narnia because they both have Santa and that means they’re in the same universe

can i just say defacing aka editing art of any ship to make it your fave is weird? especially if it’s from a ship you hate? it’s funny cuz i don’t think this is an unpopular opinion and yet…

there are still people who do this and people who encourage those that do

and no official canon art is not an exception?? you respect fan artists more than the artists that created your favorite piece of media? do you even know the names of the artists you’re disrespecting?

like i’m just not understanding how some people can be so disrespectful AND unoriginal at the same time? pick a struggle…..

[magpiesbones]

I’ve never read or watched bnha (mostly because fanservice give me hives) but I am adjacent enough and have friends who are obsessed with it and. FRANKLY. it is CRIMINAL that bnha has the Most Interesting Character Setup Of All Time and then wastes her.

I am talking about Todoroki Fuyumi, of course. She should, logically, be the main character.

She should be the main character, for ease of writing and plot, because she is THE CLOSEST to almost all themes while being enough of an outsider to allow for some exposition. She also lives a thematically insane life. And she’s a side character! At best! HOW.

like okay first off: she has been a failure since birth, and not for gender reasons but for OTHER REASONS inherent to her genetics. Fantastic setup to explore parental neglect. She has been the mother figure in a survival mode family since her mother was institutionalized. How old could she really have been, ten? Thirteen at the most? THESE THINGS FUCK PEOPLE UP. You could have explored the ways in which Fuyumi believes that because she is ignored, if everyone else tried they too could escape physical abuse, which is, you know, a fucked up way to think. Eldest daughter syndrome to the maximum. Not only that but she literally knows her father is capable of pushing her siblings so hard they die. This is fucked up knowledge to have. We could have explored atypical responses to abuse.

She has very close experience with the idea that actually not all Heroes are good people, yet still believes in the institution. Incredibly thematically dense there. We can also connect this back to her home dynamic— Heroism isn’t a flawed system, criminals just need to try harder, like her siblings maybe, and Not Get Attention. This could be INCREDIBLY GOOD.

I’m frankly unclear on whether or not Dabi is her twin or not. Either way, what better plot twist is ‘our father’s abuse made my brother a villain and almost killed him’ I think this would definitely fuck her up a little. Or a lot. More than she was already, you see. Also, the sheer amount of parallels you could make in this situation. None of them were ever considered because the mangaka thinks women are ineffective and More Background Of Characters Than Men, but the possibilities are endless. I’m envisioning a situation where she realizes that Dabi does the same shit as her father thus rendering the hero/villain dichotomy essentially meaningless, and/or confronts Either Of Them with this information. That would require Fuyumi to have had character development enough to confront someone, and bc she is Fawn Response The Character, probably unlikely.

I am Very Much Aware that Fuyumi has a quirk and the quirk is Ice, not very powerful, etc. but how fucked up would it be if SHE got all for one and kept it Very Much A Secret. Fuyumi is now pitted against her littlest brother and discovering her Inner Potential For Extreme Violence at the same time, something that has no potential at all for going very very badly. Please picture this with me: Fuyumi is making dinner for the brother who they BOTH know is pitted against All Mights Successor, whoever they may be, and he is telling her all about his quirkless friend who is breaking records at his school etc etc. and she knows that once he graduates their father will put him against her in the publicity battle to the death, which she has decided she is Very Very Mad About. However I honestly think this shouldn’t happen. Quirk transference should be treated like a Later plot twist after you really get Used to the idea that a quirk is Inherent and unchangeable. This should shake her DEEPLY and ideally she should learn About All For One after the Hawks Reveal (child trafficking).

I don’t know if it’s canon whether or not Natsuo has a quirk. If he doesn’t this effectively renders Midoriya’s character moot, because here is a MUCH closer way to talk about quirklessness in this society. What’s Fuyumi’s take on this as de facto mother. What’s Fuyumi’s take on this as abused child? lots to think about.

The whole Eugenics Thing that endeavor is doing is pretty glossed over in the manga to my understanding. It is however SO fucked up, first of all, and second of all. The Implications this has on Fuyumi as endeavors only child (Canonically) capable of bearing children. How powerful is her quirk actually? Is she as powerful as Dabi but with ice? Would she ever let her father know if she was (was she hiding her power deliberately or subconsciously)? Do we think he was arranging her marriage before Shouto was born and he had his own success. What are Fuyumi’s thoughts on this whole Thing. I think Fuyumi would have a VERY nuanced take on abortion rights and no fault divorce.

What does Midoriya Izuku have? Plot armour? The power of friendship? A heroics hyperfixation? Does canon have a singular consistent theme tied to Midoriya, In Particular?

I realize that most of the fandom fucking hates Fuyumi, sometimes more than endeavor (why?), but she seems to be someone both Very selfless (she’s a teacher (I think), presumably salaried, who still lives in her parents house with her underage and severely abused brother and the abusive father, despite having the means and the societal pressure to move out) and VERY aware of the Power Dynamics in that house. Whether or not she genuinely believes that her brothers could manage to make peace with their father or if that is a peacemaking tactic, she’s clearly got Some Thoughts about her duty, responsibility in general, et cetera, that would have been literally fascinating to explore. Storytellingwise, I think it would be fascinating if this started as a genuine beleif that she had some character development about and then began using as a coping mechanism until she got enough character development to actually experience anger.

Just HOW do you accidentally create a character with THIS MUCH potential and then completely ignore her except as (it sounds like) a minor antagonist to a secondary protagonist. When she is SO perfectly placed to be the protagonist, in a fun little antihero type of way.
