#always loved that fanon

[cringefail-clown]

more of the cam cafe au, this time with strilonde family dynamic

so dave and rose are siblings and they both had their kids very young (other parents dipped out as soon as possible). they helped each other out with raising the kids while working on their careers, so the trio grew up very close to each other, roxy often acting as a mediator between dirk and hal as they were on each others cases basically since birth lmfao

gonna do the j squad next but holy shit is their family tree... complex

im a big fan of esper powers slipping loose in harmless ways when they're happy

[ahoyimlosingmymind]

my issue with 'jason Todd leaves the batfam' is simply: he would never do that though. And that's the problem. You think he actually has enough self worth to do that? please be serious

Day 8: yearning

hmmm... halfbaked thought percolating in my mind but i gotta say. sometimes i do get kinda skeeved out when people do genderfluid tim wrt timkon while leaving kon as just a generic cis guy. like obviously i love timkon and i love trans tims!!! but sometimes i just go are we sure we're not just slapping on a trans label in order to put the shorter, physically weaker, (and often drawn paler) guy in a dress so he can be The Girl in the relationship? like are we sure this is actually about being trans and not just about gender roles again? and like obviously i cant say every single genderfluid tim wrt timkon post is doing this specifically but it does sometimes make me go eeehhhh... (a lot of the way fandom treats trans guys in general as women lite™ is this same way tbh.) sigh...

Spoiler below for leaked HOFAS bonus chapters:

So in one bonus chapter Azriel of all people is subtlety hinting that Nesta and Cassian should have a baby and in the other … Cassian is … once again taking Rhys’ side against Nesta, mad at Nesta and letting her be threatened by Rhys, and showing 0 affection whatsoever.

Oh yeah, that’s for sure a couple that should be having a baby.

Also the irony of Cassian being mad at Nesta for a compassionate action when he used to be mad at her for not caring enough … WHICH IS IT MAN?!

Something about how Ren makes up canon characters with distinct aesthetics and how fanon characterizes him as a "dramatic flirty theatre kid". Something about Ren having two popular king characters and how it gives something else for fanon to latch onto. Something about how Ren is a "theatre kid" so he can play any role in fanon and more often than not the non-Ren mains put him as the eye candy/ love interest/ narrative tool.

If we're talking about David and Cass' relationship, it's important to acknowledge that Horrocks' run is an outlier. Both Puckett before and Gabrych after have panels where David more or less explicitly shows love towards Cass, or at least tenderness - see #22, #33, #37 for Puckett and #65 for Gabrych. Horrocks' run is the only one in Batgirl (2000) where David is characterised as completely cold and uncaring (in #50 particularly). I do not think this is bad, since the contrast provides ample space for nuance and interpretation, but I also think only using Horrocks' panels of David is kind of ignoring a huge chunk of his characterisation (and leads to really one-dimensional appearances like Batgirl 2008). This isn't to say Horrocks' version of David should be ignored, but that it's very much situated between two other versions of him that should be considered too.

finding out ur coworker is way older than you thought and having to very quickly reorient how you talk to them

[generic-sonic-fan]

My dream Sonic + Shadow dynamic is "distant friends who disagree about a LOT of things but also know the other has their back if shit really hits the fan"

Like, they're fine hanging out in groups but can't stand long doses of each other. Every time they get past small talk they get into an argument because of their philosophical differences. "Frenemies" has the wrong connotation but "friends" is a tenuous word. But Sonic does value Shadow's realism and Shadow does value Sonic's tenacity, and they both know they have things to learn from each other but also. . . man that guy (referring to each other) is annoying.

Mutual respect but they've learned through trial and error that they're never going to be besties. But sometimes Shadow sends music recs to him in the group chat. Am I making any sense?

[blanceyblance]

*looks around* Can you guys tell me where are you seeing Alpha macho Irep and soft boy Peri?

Because most of the content I see of them is just little shit/annoying clingy loser Irep and bitchy sassy neurotic mess Peri.

And there is only like 70 works for that ship in ao3 and most is them is co parenting Dev or them being bitter exes.

Honestly, why are we now shaming creators when the ones that write the "problematic yaoi tropes" are in the minority?

ive read mdzs years ago and stalled on tgcf (mainly bc i got really busy and then forgot everything lmao), but never really tried scum villain. if you don't mind, can you share why you like it? personally, the summary didn't really draw me in and the animation looked unfortunately really .... low budget.

hi anon! you've activated my trap card, which is Talking About Things I Enjoy At Length! congratulations! congratulations! congratulations! important things must be said three times!

(i also stalled w tgcf btw, bc it's so long that i could never summon up sufficient interest. and i will say that the svsss donghua is less than inspiring. i thought it was fun but that's speaking as someone who watched it after already being in love w the source content, so ymmv. i wasn't a particular fan of the animation style either, but considering that scum villain is the black sheep of mxtx's works in terms of the official content that gets produced, i was glad for what i could get.)

reasons to love scum villain!

hilarious use of unreliable narrator. shen qingqiu is one of my top favorite characters ever. he's not stupid or even, despite common fan depiction, all that oblivious--he's just incredibly genre-savvy and hasn't realized that the genre has changed. also he's hysterical.

but then sometimes, too, you look more objectively at things he glosses over and have a 'wait a sec' moment bc it's actually deeply disturbing.

it has a really fun way of of playing with transmigration stories and tropes. this was, in a sense, my intro to chinese web novel conventions as a western reader, and you can learn a lot bc mxtx is busy poking fun at all of them.

phenomenally meta.

luo binghe is a fantastic character. ppl who don't like him--i'll meet you out back. ostensibly the protagonist of the novel sqq has found himself in, supposedly blessed with every talent and the world prepared to fall at his feet, but MAN is it hard being luo binghe.

ppl will make a big deal abt lbh being obsessed w sqq but fail to acknowledge that sqq is just as weird and obsessed abt lbh. epitome of that AITA response of:

liu qingge

mxtx does so much with her villains, always.

as much as some of the miscommunication between sqq and lbh is contrived, it's also literally the only way that things could play out and makes absolute sense.

this classic scene, given utterly without context:

After a pause, Shen Qingqiu changed his angle. "What's your name?" The first one replied. "Six Balls." "What does that mean?" "When I was born, my pa held me and said I was six balls heavy." Shen Qingqiu was speechless. Shot put balls or ping-pong balls?! This kind of name is absolutely meaningless.

i think, honestly, my favorite thing abt scum villain is that you can read it quickly and have a good time, but if you're taking your time and paying attention, there is so much more happening underneath the surface! it's such a clever book, i'm honestly stunned (and humbled) that mxtx produced this as her first novel and at such a young age.
