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 (it's 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 fantasies, gaining special powers or backstories, and/or becoming the focus of extreme whump, and/or hooking up with all the 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, and other characters tend to become a little flat around them. I call it "Fandom's Darling" because it's not just one self-indulgent fantasy fic (you do you! Have fun!) with characterization choices that I don't vibe with (I have neither the time nor the desire nor the authority to police anything, I am just venting), but rather a prolific mini-fandom of sorts revolving around this empty doll / fanon version of the chosen vessel character, so it becomes a little unavoidable.

I am salty about this (mildly frustrated) (imagine a soft sigh of disappointment before I just 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.

In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

it's the combination of racism (wanting to believe that a mexican man is more deeply entrenched in machismo than he's ever been shown to be on screen) and the projected misogyny (they don't like the women so they can't fathom their blorbos liking the women in any capacity) but you didn't hear it from me

CLICKBAIT REPLACER EXTENSION!!

So I& feel like this is directly relevant to this blog since clickbait is a pretty common problem in MCYT, so I& have a proposed SOLUTION!

Today I& just discovered that the creators of the beloved SponsorBlock extension (which you should also get if you haven't already btw, it makes life SO much better) ALSO MADE ONE TO REPLACE CLICKBAIT!! It's called DeArrow!!!

It works just like SponsorBlock in that it takes user-submitted titles, and thumbnails become screenshots from the actual video! You can have it on the de-clickbait-ified mode on default, or you can make it so that it doesn't replace the title and thumnail unless you click a little button next to the video (like I& have in my& example with Tommy!)

Now, this extension is relatively new, having been released just in 2023, so it doesn't have a large userbase just yet. This is where YOU come in!!!

Even if you don't mind the thumbnails or titles yourself, lots of SMPs such as Lifesteal are otherwise very difficult to watch because no one ever includes the season and episode number in the title. A close friend of mine& is having difficulty getting into it because of this exact thing.

Now GO FORTH and SUBMIT MORE TITLES that are more accurate to the actual contents of the video, and if that video is part of a series or an SMP, to please also add episode and season numbers when there aren't any!!!

(And even if you aren't part of MCYTblr, I& still encourage you to get this extension and make life so much easier for yourself!!!!)

You know what? I'm just gonna rip the band-aid off and say it.

I ship Hilbert and N. So yes I like Isshushipping. I don't give a flying fuck about their canon ages because I don't follow Pokemon canon 99% of the time anyway.

That being said, my personal HC is that N and Hilbert have both aged since the events of BW/B2W2. They're both in their late 20s/early 30s.

(mgv) frankly a house md omegaverse would require an entire rewrite rather than just "the episode but with mgv elements" bc i have house and wilson helping each other with their cycles (meaning they're fucking) so their dynamic could go even crazier. they bang, unbonded, as friends, which isn't super crazy uncommon but they also regularly display courtship behaviors that they apparently either ignore or write off as pranks or basic decency -- wilson letting house eat off his plate is a huge one for example

I have a gift for y'all today !!! 😊 Ever wanted to find a line in Re:Kinder in a single place for the sake of reference?? How about multiple chunks of lines. how about all the little variations that arise in the text with it's many endings, item descriptions, text that comes from interacting with the enviroment, and character info from the menu without having to boot up the game and go through it at long minutes!!???

well i sure did😊 Since I do a lot of fanart and think up my own silly theories and thoughts that need me to reference the game lines a lot, i have made a transcript for it for convenience's sake. A weirdly thorough transcript handwritten and proofread by me including all character lines available in-game. And I'm sharing it with you all today for anyone that wants it !!! :3 To use as a reference for creative fanworks or a quick search for a line in-game, whatever you wish to use it for!!

It uses the english translation of the game by vgperson. So naturally all credit for the game lines available in here is to her and Parun who made the game.

I did my best to organize it in a way easy to digest. Do note that I'm still human, and there's still the chance for mistake in it no matter how much I've proofread it, since I'm not even an english native speaker ^^. But I hope it serves you well nonetheless if you wish to use it.

That's my gift for today!!! Not the usual art, but still a project I'm proud of. Enjoy!!! 😊
