Isn't it crazy that in s2 Dr. Owens literally says that one of the main side-effects of having PTSD is personality changes and lashing out, then people still wonder what's “wrong” with Mike for the next 3 seasons?

Hi uhh i have a question i was scrolling at ao3 and i keep seeing pompous pep fiction a lot but i thought it was illegal because there is at least 20 year age gap im getting confused

AO3 is a creative writing/fanfiction archive that allows anything that's legal under US creative writing law. There are some limitations, like scripting out an episode of DP would not be allowed because that's copyright infringement, and posting something disguised as a fic that's not actually one (say, posting your headcanons list or your grandma's cookie recipe) isn't allowed because that's not a transformative work. But otherwise, people are allowed to post any fictional content that they so wish so long as it's tagged properly.

The tags are an awesome feature of the site and are why many people, myself included, choose to use AO3 as their main fanfiction domain. It allows you to opt in or opt out of any tag that you do or don't want to see. For example, I read/write a ton of gore, so I often filter in tags like "Dissection" (using the sidebar) so I can only see those types of fics. But there are tons of people who get squicked out by gore/dissection, so they might prefer to filter those tags out. Maybe they just wanna read a good smut fic, so they'd filter in that tag, while for me, I'm not so interested in that content, so I almost always filter it out before I browse.

I know this seems a bit long winded of me, but what I'm trying to get at is that because fanfiction is fictional, that means that ships and tags that you or I might argue are morally gray or even morally unethical are totally allowed on the site (aka no real children were harmed in the making of said fic, so not illegal). This includes Pompous Pep, which is Danny/Vlad. And if you don't want to see that, as many people probably don't, then the site makes it extremely easy to filter that stuff out! Woo!

The DP Phandom is a really really old phandom and we've had a history of "true vs anti" ship wars back in the 00's, which while a bit different than the kinds of shipping wars you see in other fandoms today, they still happened and were incredibly destructive within our spaces. People were fighting, there was lots of bullying, angry cliques, and overall moral policing "you can't sit with us" behavior to people who frankly didn't deserve it. There's not a lot of creatives left from that era, and the ones that did come back don't have a lot of positive things to say about it.

So yeah, maybe some people on AO3 write things that might squick you out, but from experience we've found it to be far more beneficial to just do our own things. Write the content you wanna write, read the content you wanna read, interact with the people you wanna interact with, and block/mute/filter out/whatever the rest. It's honestly not worth your mental health or sanity to try to police fics/art in here. We're too old, most of us got jobs, bills to pay, maybe even kids to feed, and it's honestly not worth our time. Besides, it's much more fun to participate in phandom events and nerd out with other creatives about silly AUs and tropes and geek out over art styles and colors than it is to worry about that stuff!

[jacksmusesdrv3]

So I'm taking from one of my old theory posts - roughly: 'the Ultimate Hunt may be a group formed of the DRV3 cast after the world became increasingly hostile towards Ultimates' - and setting aside specifics of that for now, expanding on hostility to Ultimates, specifically.

Because this is... unnerving.

The 'kill the very concept of Ultimates' part reminds me, that during the Tragedy itself-

-you would get comments like this, in some rando's notebook, about the survivors of DR1's killing game and their affiliation with Future Foundation.

Although the general public (in this state) would typically not care to trade their convenient scapegoat for the nuances of who's to blame for what - like for starters, HPA and the Steering Committee for orchestrating human experiments and covering up murders - there are also-

-conspiracy theories in print, about the Future Foundation and its 'protection of the Despair', who were Ultimate students that Makoto wanted to save from the brainwashing. While Future Foundation has its share of... issues, this book is clearly propaganda, and in this case it's especially fucked up because Towa Group was very directly responsible for accelerating the Tragedy themselves.

This could be a very bad omen for the future of Ultimates, especially since Towa Group were highly influential and boasted their ability to reach the people. To say nothing of 99 other organisations noted in the Alexander Magazine as 'the most influential worldwide', at least one of which may want to fill the 'void' Towa Group left behind, and could gain just as much, if not more cultish fervour left unchecked.

All the while distorting events to the populace in their own favour.

Lastly...

One of the books suggested that it would be imperative to learn from the Tragedy. And sure enough, in the time of DRV3, there is a book with the Complete History of Hope's Peak Academy- the most thorough and comprehensive collection of details on the events, including organisations like Future Foundation. No doubt one of the things covered would be the first case, where one Leon Kuwata used his baseball talent to shuck a ball through a tight space.

Under these circumstances, it's reasonable to be a wee bit leery of there being 52 files in a lab, a large amount with bloody photos and documented notation of 'tricks that culprits used', then being prompted to ignore this detail - and HPA's existence itself - as 'fiction' on some uh, decidedly arbitrary evidence. Just saying.
