#and canon innacuracies

[orcelito]

Ok there r some pretty big things I wanna fix with the first chapter of ITNL, but I don't rly have the brain for that. Putting it on the backburner.

Might fuck around with chapter 2 tho. Just maybe.

[exhaustedpirate]

an emergency for valentine's

day 14 of @bucktommyfluffebruary (ignore how late i am!) don't let the title fool you (again), there is fluff ahead, buck is (minorly) injured but he has the best boyfriend in the world.

rated T | 1241 words also on AO3

Buck wakes up to faint sirens and a pounding headache. 

He groans as he screws his eyes shut. A hand on his wrist stops him from bringing his fingers to his forehead.

“Don’t touch your head,” A familiar voice makes him relax and flutter his eyes open.

Tommy. With a deep concerned frown on his forehead.

“Tommy…” 

“Yeah,” Tommy exhales in relief, his grip tightening on Buck’s wrist. “It’s me.”

“What happened?” He groans at the pain in his head and side and Tommy keeps him laying down, with a careful hand on his chest. The sirens are getting close now.

“You, uh, you fell,” Tommy sounds sheepish, a lovely blush spreading across his cheeks. “Do you, uh, remember anything?”

“I-It’s Valentine’s Day, we were gonna have dinner but, uhm, we kinda decided to have dessert first,” A faint smirk appears on Buck’s lips at that before he frowns. “And th-then, uhm, I fell?”

Tommy bites his lip and looks away for a second. “You were on top of me, you put me a blindfold on me-”

Buck’s blush creeps up on him as the memories flood him. “Oh god, I fucked it up!”

“N-no, Evan, you-” A knock on the door interrupts Tommy and the sirens are really loud now. “It’s open!” Tommy calls out.

Buck’s eyes widen and he ignores the pain that causes. “W-wait, you called 911?!”

“You are currently bleeding from your head, Evan, of course I called 911.” Tommy sounds exasperated and he gets it, he does, it’s just that-

“Tommy, you’re in the 118’s area!”

“I hope you’re dressed, lovebirds!” They hear Chimney’s loud voice before they see him walk through the doorway.

“Well,” Eddie grins. “Not church-appropriate attire but also not the worst they could be.”

Buck groans and hides his face on his forearm because while they are not naked - no, they hadn’t gotten there yet -, they were in their boxers, even if Tommy had on his t-shirt.

“I didn’t want to move him,” Tommy explains, moving to kneel by Buck’s head but giving Eddie and Chim enough time to work. “I think he also hurt his side.”

Now that he mentions it, Buck feels it. He hadn’t noticed the pain in his side with the pounding ache in his head but now, he tries to touch his side only to be stopped by Chimney. 

“You are bruised, you might have broken a rib in the fall,” Chim says and brings out his flashlight, shining it on Buck’s eyes. “Your pupils are reacting well but we’re taking you in just in case.”

Eddie passes Chim bandages and adhesive that he puts on Buck’s head. “Do we wanna know what you were doing?”

Buck’s blush is almost as red as the blood that had run down his face. “No…” Eddie and Chimney help him stand up, slowly, keeping the bandage on his head and his torso straight.

“H-He fell.” Tommy says, his blush just as deep as he stands at a safe distance with his arms crossed.

“Right,” Eddie nods slowly. “I’m gonna pretend I don’t see the very clear blindfold on the bed and the handcuffs on the floor.” 

Chimney quickly locates those two objects. “Yep, I’m gonna ignore that,” He looks away towards the door. “I still wanna look my brother-in-law in the eye after this.”

Buck groans. “We’re adults, Chim.” He points out before sending a thankful smile to his boyfriend when he puts a hoodie over his shoulders. 

“We sure are, Buckaroo,” Chim agrees, guiding him out of the house with a hand on his back. “Doesn’t mean we should talk about what either of us do in the bedroom.”

“Especially when what he does is with your sister.” Eddie points out, much to Buck and Chimney’s displeasure.

“Alright, alright, just take me in,” Buck groans. “This is already more painful than anything I’m feeling right now.”

“That’s the spirit, babe.” Tommy taps his shoulder carefully and smiles at Buck’s fond eye roll. 

---

Eddie is putting an ice pack on his side when Buck turns to Tommy. His frown has eased since he had woken up, likely more comfortable with the presence of actual paramedics - his embarrassment clearly put aside.

“I’m sorry I ruined Valentine’s day.” Buck bites his lip and he feels the bubble of anxiety and concern rumbling in his chest.

“Evan, you didn’t ruin anything,” Tommy holds his hand tight as if that would convince Buck of his feelings. “I promise you.”

“At least you didn’t have to get a tracheotomy, Buckaroo.” Chimney pipes up from the driver’s seat.

“A trache-what?” Tommy’s brows almost his hairline and there’s that worried exasperation he’s so good at when it comes to Buck and his injuries. 

“Later,” Buck promises. “I just, ugh, can’t believe I ruined it all.” 

“You didn’t ruin it, Evan,” Tommy caresses his fingers over the top of Buck’s hands with an indulgent smile. “It was a lovely night.”

“Yeah, but I had a plan,” Buck whines and ignores Eddie’s smirk. “I had dinner ready and we were gonna have dessert while watching your favourite and I ruined it and-”

“Hey, Evan?” Tommy calls out with a soft smile.

Buck is still frowning and he can feel the pout on his lips but he looks at his boyfriend. “Yeah?”

Tommy doesn’t answer, just presses their lips together. It’s a chaste kiss, very aware of their current company, but it works to calm the anxiety running through his body.

“That’s one way to shut him up.” Eddie teases and Buck hits him on the side with his foot.

Tommy ignores Eddie’s teasing and runs his fingers through the curls of Buck’s uninjured side and he tries not to preen at the caress. “I love you, okay? Valentine’s day isn’t ruined.” He speaks in that soft tone, the one that heals any insecurities inside Buck.

“It isn’t?” His tone is quiet and soft, almost pleading.

“Nope,” Tommy’s smile widens, the look in his eyes so full of love that Buck feels it. “I’m spending it with you, that’s all that matters. Even if it does involve a trip to the hospital.”

Buck’s smile is almost watery and he has never felt more cherished, more loved, in his life.

“Wow, Buck, you were right,” Eddie interrupts their moment. “He really is smooth.” Tommy is the one who hits him this time, a quick, barely strong slap to his arm. “I’m driving next time, Chim,” Eddie calls out to the front of the ambulance, arm dramatically rubbing over his bicep. “They’re violent.”

Chimney laughs. Buck is all too happy to ignore their shenanigans - he is too busy staring at the love in his boyfriend’s eyes, at how much he wants to live the rest of his life with him. He never thought he’d get this, this feeling of peace, of happiness, of being so at ease. Of being in love.

Is it too early to look for engagement rings? Probably. Maybe.

He could browse. Just in case.

Buck pulls on Tommy’s hand to press a passionate kiss on his lips, swallowing his boyfriend’s surprised moan before letting the butterflies in his stomach flutter away. He gets to have this now. He gets to kiss this man, to stand by this man, to love Tommy Kinard.

“I love you too.” He whispers against the other man’s lips, feeling his blinding happiness against his lips. 

He’s the luckiest fucking man in the world.

hi here's redesigns nobody asked for

@quazikam i have a personal law where i'm required to tag you in anything shuichi saihara related on my blog

[kachimera]

Me: ok i know this fic will diverge from canon a bit but im pretty curious abt it

Fic: *contradicts canon and some hcs of mine*

Me: hey >:(

[confusedmothboy]

holy shit everyone looks so cunty in your Victorian era drawings. i am BEGGING you for more merman travis and victorian lottie drawings because WOW WOW WEE WA

i havent been able to think about anything but this insanity so heres the rest of the doodles i've made before i hopefully never post about it again

merman travis + more detailed lottie as requested

i think in this au, mr matthews is a mysterious figure controlling everything in and out of the newark harbor, which explains how he was able to get them all a private boat. i really like lottie's up to date cunty expensive ass outfits she would go so bonkers out on that island

im dividing the au into two versions, one with mermen and one without (im a fan of canon compliance so im more invested in the one without but im nothing if not a people pleaser so heres your merman travis)

i tried to keep hair as canon as possible so we can still tell who's who but. ofc theres historical innacuracy with that. i also recognize that womens soccer wasnt really a thing until the early 20th century but that would make this american edwardian and not american victorian.

torn between "bullshit aus like this are what keeps fandom alive" and "yeah but IM the cringe one making bullshit aus" anyways whatever i'll have normal stuff soon

[seleneprince]

What are Cassandra Cain thoughts on the Perez family and was she part of the batfam during the neglect?

She’s my precious baby, but I know she is loyal to Bruce. But also the Perez' wouldn't last if she was there, she knows everything.

So I'm wondering if like Duke she arrives later and decides to embrace them? Like, how can you look at Rosa loving her kids and not be like "I want that 😢." Specially with the insanity that are Cass' bio parents.

It would be funny because Cass isn't as sweet as she is usually portrayed, she can and will beat a bitch, (that bitch usually being Jason. I don't remember correctly but I think the only batboys she doesn't throw hands with are Tim and Duke) she is the same fighting level as Bruce too 😭

Also, she strikes me more as a mommy's girl than daddy's girl but I can't confirm, cause well, her mama is absent 😶

Oh boy, that's a good question.

First of all, I start this by admitting that I don't know about Cassandra as much as the other characters, so I apologise for any slight innacuracies. That said, it's hard to keep up with DC's canon these days. But I confirm, she's only chill with Tim, I think. She has thrown hands with all the batboys at some point, specially Jason ashsdf. Only Tim and Duke are safe as far I've seen.

Now, to answer the question:

Everyone in the family knows that Rosa forced Bruce into the marriage because she knows their identities and threatens to expose them otherwise. So, yeah, they're all kinda pissed at her and resentful. Cassandra is no exception. She first views her stepmother as this evil golden digger who used vile ways to get Bruce and her kids low-key as opportunists just like her, but the thing with Cassandra is, as we know, that she can see things most people can't.

Before Duke arrives, she already clocked the Perez family weren't all what they seemed. Like you said, Rosa has her flaws and she's not really a good person, but she loves her kids more than anything. Literally most of the shit she does is for them. Cassandra finds it hard to think of her as this pure evil villain when she sees her brushing her oldest daughter's hair before school even though she protests she's old enough, or when she ruffles Marco's hair with the softest eyes, or when she's teaching her youngest daughter how to bake sweets she likes as a bonding activity. She might be cold and untrustworthy with the Bruce, but when it comes to her children, she seems like an entirely different person. Her eyes turn the softest she's ever seen, and her hands are always so gentle and tender with them. Just the way she handles leaves no doubts that it's true love.

And Cassandra can't help but think that a woman capable of such love can't be all bad. And deep down, a part of her wishes she could have that. Regardless, she doesn't go out of her way to bond with her because, like you said, her loyalty is with Bruce first.

It's different with Bruce's daughter and the twins, since she doesn't really resent them at any moment. She out of all people can't blame others for their parents' crimes, but she's definitely part of the neglect. She doesn't do it on purpose, she just...doesn't know how to approach them. They have nothing in common. She can't relate to them the way she does with the others. For someone who already struggles with social interaction and mostly relies on hanging out with people equally fucked up as her (aka the batfam), well, you can guess.

Besides, reminder that the Perez family have resided on the other side of the manor since their arrival and have spent all the years until the current timeline leading separate lives from the Batfamily. The only times they're all in the room together are on the rare occassions they all have family dinners, because the Perez family go as far to make different schedules to never eat in the same table with them unless there's no choice. Cassandra only sees them when they cross paths around the house, which it's not often, and they barely talk. That doesn't give her enough material to read them properly and figure out their secrets. Plus, as bad as it sounds, she's not interested to. They're the normal ones of the family, who aren't involved in the bloody bussiness of crime fighting, who don't have to go through the same hell. They can simply enjoy the luxury and safety of being civilians.

They're not...tainted, like her.

In her head, she even convinces herself it's for protection. She doesn't want to ruin the perfect picture of normal family they have (again, she doesn't interact enough with them to notice the cracks), so she thinks its reasonable to keep them away. She can't bond with them anyway. Nor reach a mutual understanding. They're too different. Opposite worlds and all of that.

Instead, she's content on catching glimpses from afar, of what they have, what she could've had in another life, and move on.

That's it, until the Signal and Red Hood find her in that state after falling off the window. On the verge of death, and no one knows what happened or how, or why she was even there. Cassandra looks at her as she lays in the hospital bed, unconscious and recovering, and feels the crushing weight of her guilt. Her failure. Because she definitely blames herself, just like Jason. Ironic. She thinks she failed as a sister. That in her determination to keep her safe, she did the oppposite.

Eventually, when the Perez family are forced to interact more with the Batfam due to some circumstances that happen later, Cassandra gets to see them in another light. Now she interacts with them more often. There's no hiding, no running away, no avoiding. And being Cassandra, she's the first to clock the loopholes in their facade. She knows they're hiding something, have been for a long time, but can't figure out exactly what because they're elusive as fuck.

But she also sees more of Rosa's motherly affection, the twins being endearing (when they're not pranking the batfam) and N! Daughter being more than just this spoiled rich girl with no problems in her life. And the more she sees....the more she wants to be part of it.

A.B.A's chains-A Guilty Gear analysis

I heard that in the spanish version A.B.A's title of "lovingly latched on homunculus" is translated as "homúnculo encadenado por el amor "(homunculus chained by love) which aside from being a fair translation serves to highlight A.B.A's recurring chain motif, either of real or metaphorical chains.

Out of the way, of course, we have Paracelsus's old chain though of course that's more a motif to him and his story! But in a lesser way you could argue its hers too as it is she who holds the chain.

And of course we have to mention her arcade mode quote of (from memory, sorry for innacuracies) "the shackles of affection are still shackles" which, yes! This is too related moreso to Paracelsus! but its her realization. And a pivotal scene for both.

Lastly, this is more my speculation but you know the gg Isuka xbox cover where her gloves say "Alice"? Part of me wants to believe it's an Alice in Chains reference because.. you know. Guilty Gear.

Whatever, this all plus the hypocrisy she has exhibited about Frasco and Paracelsus make for a really interesting leitmotif. Not as big as the key, frankenstein or even blood ones, but a subtle, present one, imo. A chain motif. Both as the chainer and the chained.

I say hypocrisy because well, she saw Frasco/Flask as her trap (fun fact, the name is prob a reference to Paracelsian lore of homunculi having to spend their early stages in a flask or else they'd die) and she desperatedly wanted freedom, she knows so well how is it to lack autonomy but when she obsessed over Paracelsus she was doing that to him. Hell, while the XX endings aren't canon afaik, we see her bad ending. Just like how other characters in the game make a heel turn or die (I'm oversimplyfying it but you get it) the ending where she keeps human Paracelsus chained (that one ending is... Something) even more crassly than before. She's not the victim here, it's him, but if we follow the metaphorical chaining thing then she has also chained herself very strongly.

As we see in Strive, either always or at some point she realized her doings were wrong... Yet kept on doing them. She's indeed chained to (her unhealthy idea of) love (and her other obsessive mindsets).

Of course, Paracelsus is not innocent, either. This is an A.B.A centric post but of course I have to mention him!! As we see in Strive and, regardless if it was due to his demon nature or simply willingly being a bad guy he was also metaphorically chained before knowing A.B.A... chained to his thirst of destruction and recklessness. And we know he tried to manipulate A.B.A even if he fails and starts to legitimately care about her.

Both of them are chained. Chained not as a good term but as a detrimental one. Chained to eachother, yes, but also to themselves, to their own chains, shackles of obsessions. With A.B.A especially, we know for sure she has managed to escape previous chainings but she keeps getting into them. And that's scary, almost.

But this is Guilty Gear and there's hope and freedom (ha.) so Strive has this beautiful conclusion (or rather new beginning!) to their story, and, while we have seen Paracelsus improve before, maybe A.B.A's won't be linear. But she legitimately, against all odds, WANTS the situation to be better, and both have gotten a better understanding of the other and like Paracelsus said, they can make it right, now. Now what they have with eachother is less chaining and more bonding and dissolving of a healthier kind as partners, be it as lovers, friends or whatever.

The chains are broken now, it's a new beginning.

im really endeared by your concepts for re_rise, i was unsatisfied by return of the mammilians and you’ve put together a really sound story! about to say what i’ve taken from it, so sorry if there’s some innacuracy…

my favorite part off the bat is switching the splatoon for deep cut. imo they’ve been the unquestionable good guys for way too long. plus accidentally working against an oblivious/aimless squidbeak splatoon who’s goal is just to get their gramps back, when youve been investigating grizzco and alterna all game is just a refreshing and well contrasting take on a story. it feels like acknowledgment for the previous campaigns story flaws (being it’s in-general non seriousness!!!)

i always felt deep cut always had the potential to be a bunch of very cool and laid back mentors. they just seemed experienced in what they do, and working alongside them sounds VERY cool for a 14 or so year old cephalokid. (additionally, thered be a break in formula by not making the new kid an agent, rather a personal member of deep cuts heist squad. WAY cooler!!!) always felt their dialogue and personalities are pretty exaggerated when they’re on-air, so seeing what they’re like without an audience sounds more than interesting. if that’s the route you go, itd be another way to set them apart from the previous idol bands, who are always their authentic entertainer-type selves when cameras are on. in that case, what would they be like? what things would they feel like talking about? how different would they really act? all things you can answer if you want. but that was my love letter! thanks for writing up such cool concepts, and making such amazing designs. i even made little analyses on them for the color choice… this is long enough already though. tldr thank you!!! 🩷

Okay so first: thanks so much for this; I love it when people analyze my work (you gotta explain the color choice thing to me sometime, because that has me really curious) ^^

So I totally agree with you about the idea of the player character not being an agent for once…even though I still technically call them Neo/New Agent 3. ^^; I just couldn’t think of my own thing to call them; I feel like such a huge break away from the series’ convention is something that should be determined by the canon…and probably will be soon if my predictions about Splatoon 4 turn out to be correct. ;)

I guess it would be cute if Deep Cut gave them a funky nickname instead, like ‘Shark-bait’ or something. Although that would work better if they all had nicknames for each other; like true alter-egos for their bandit work…I would like that~.

Anyway, as for the main question: tbh I didn’t really put much thought into how Deep Cut’s personalities might change…but that’s mostly because I felt a ton of added depth would be inevitable, by the simple act of elevating them from roadblocks to actual characters you can interact with. ^^; So this is basically what I would do:

-Shiver kinda has a ‘2 Cool 4 Skool’ girlboss thing going on (I think?? Tbh for a series as campy as Splatoon, her characterization is really weak…) so I think her alter-ego should have a more grounded, ‘wise mentor’ persona. Like, she can still trash-talk you and keep that ruthless attitude that she has, but here we’d supplement that with real teaching moments and positive affirmation to show why people should really be drawn to her.

-Meanwhile, Frye has this hyper-cute yet ‘rough-and-tumble’ personality, so I think her alter-ego should be more laid-back and relaxed. This way she can keep her positive demeanor; she’ll just express it in a different way, maybe showing the audience more of her mature and sensitive side. 

-Last but not least, Big Man is characterized as a typical airhead, with hints of a responsible ‘parent friend’ (eugh) underneath…so I would let him be more serious as a bandit, maybe even a little edgy. Of course, seeing as he’s a giant manta ray with an (owo) face, ‘edgy’ is probably still gonna come off as comedic for him, but I think that’s fine as long as he has actual moments of gravity to ground them. I want him to feel like a real ‘senpai’ for the player character, not just a funny mascot…y’know, occasionally commanding the respect that you’d think a ‘parent friend’ would have.

[punkeropercyjackson]

isn't it silly to call other people "poser hellenists" meanwhile you have slander tags on your blog dedicated to particular greek gods you don't like calling them this word and that word like you think the myths determine who's worthy of worship and who's not. like if you were only talking about the pjo verse specifically it would've been fine and i wouldn't have said anything because those ones are technically fiction, but you're applying this to generic posts about hellenic religion (unaffiliated to fandom) as well. like as someone who's been following you for a while i've seen you do this multiple times. do that if you want but to also call other people "poser hellenists" while you yourself have a misunderstanding of hellenic religion is.. come on. tumblr "ew do Greeks actually worship (x) why he's canonically a bad person!" vibes

My Apollo slander tag is in fact exclusively about the Pjo version and actual greeks hate the Pjo version of Apollo for innacuracy

[snobgoblin]

@sounddrive @stickystickyduck

OK I'm so sorry in advance if this seems like A Lot but you did ask and I would have felt bad just not answering. spoilers for just The Game In General

ok so. the painting. this will really only make sense when coupled with my other theory which is a massive spoiler btw so don't read that if you still have things you want to theorize about x

I am so sorry for making you read this please know you 100% do not have to I'm only writing this because you asked

that said this theory will be building on that so tread with caution

FIRST OF ALL. Nadia states that the goat is meant to represent Lucio. he commissioned this painting. and then when she says "my husband was burned" the camera pans to the dove. and the purple dress and proximity to Lucio makes me think this must be Nadia

now you may be like "why is Nadia a dove. Nadia is always an owl" but please remember that this is Lucios perspective and canonically he sent the original painter to the dungeons for pointing out doves should not have breasts. this painting reeks of innacuracy and has Lucio written all over who can't take a hint about people and is terrible with magic so how can we possibly trust him to accurately assign them animals? I would get into the symbolism of Nadia being associated with Temperance from Lucios perspective but I doubt he knows the meanings of the cards so I'll leave it alone for now (but there is a lot there)

with this said. I believe that Muriel is the wolf because of all the black and also the association with wolves in Lucios eyes. he even made Muriel wear a costume with two wolves fighting each other portrayed on the corset, Lucio definitely associates Muriel with wolves

and then, Asra. next to Muriel, as Lucio knows they are friends. this cheetah appears to be wearing a white low cut shirt, with his heart exposed. this is important symbolism for Asra that they point out in the art book

all this leads me to believe that Asra is portrayed, incorrectly, as a cheetah in this painting, just as Nadia is incorrectly a dove, Muriel is somewhat correctly a wolf (the Kokhuri are associated with them after all and there's also Inanna to consider) and just like Lucio is incorrectly portrayed as a goat

2, 6, and 12 for Quinlan Vos? 🧡

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Everything he ever did, good, bad, or otherwise but hmmm god TOUGH choice. One of my faveeee character types is a super competent character who is funny and sometimes uses that funny to hide trauma and Quinlan Vos is THEE perfect guy for that. And once he's decided he trusts and loves someone, he trusts and loves them and is ride or die. I adore that about him. He likes a lot of people, but it's not easy to gain THAT level from him, so it feels special when it happens.

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

I think Quin's childhood trauma (everything Tinte did to him on Kiffu) and his psychometric powers combine to make him struggle with hypervigilance. He's always gotta be Paying Attention For the Bad Thing. I think this plays into some of his struggles with the dark side, and given my own trauma, I RELATE. I too, struggle with hypervigilance, and I just kind of have teased that out of his character.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I think he's a film enjoyer! Genres in particular that he enjoys are cerebral horror, sappy romcoms, and historical dramas (especially if set during the high republic, where he and Obi-Wan will watch and pick out innacuracies together)

I also think he uses music to soothe his psychometry and so is a bit of a music buff (and in the case of my 80s/90s fic Blood Makes Noise, is a musician and audiophile).

7 8 12 15 for sumi!!!!

(the ask game in question times 3)

[incredible excitement] YA HOO!!!!

7- SUMIRE/VIOLET REDESIGNS MY BELOVEDS god y'all don't know how i love em. As much as i love the canon outfit they SHOULD'VE given her a redesign, small as it may be. Love it when people give her different hairstyles too, shout-out to the short hair sumis out there i love every single one of em. I'm not a part of em personally but i believe in their beliefs.

Also extra shout-out to that one Transmasc Sumire post I think about it always and i love that for him. in love tbh.

7.5 i need more positivity after last post - When people see her past the "hello senpai uwu im so cutesey and shy" personality and treat her issues like they do, say, Akechi's for example. She's an interesting character guys they couldve done so much with her, she isn't just the Badly Interwoven Royal Marketable Plushie guys plea

8- Probably the inverse of the 7.5 point AND when they make her just "akeshu's child" or "akeshu's thirdwheel" or just. make her revolve around them, yknow? ESPECIALLY when it's Royal Trio stuff. She would be mildly concerned about their Doomed Yaoi Swag, of course, but it wouldn't be her sole character trait. Also, when they make her into this permanent doormat-type, fragile little girl. Please, Sumire literally asks Makoto to teach her how to physically clock a bitch in the Theives Den, she's the first one who rushes into battle during Maruki's palace before The Revelation (AND she's verbally told to slow down by AKECHI), she kills three shadows SINGLEHANDEDLY during the intro to the game WHILE LANDING BACKFLIPS. ON HEELS. Sumire is by no means weak or shy in battle and she would be willing to knock a man unconscious if need be.

12 (except it's multiple bc i love her) - She'd be a featherman fan. Maybe not a fanatic, but she'd enjoy the show greatly! She'd also like Disney movies (though not the company itself because Fuck Disney) and taught herself how to pirate TV shows and films so that she could enjoy them in her spare time. Lastly i think she'd enjoy sewing, while Kasumi would have enjoyed embroidering. Two sisters fixing and embelishing clothes, two parts of a whole, you feel me?

12.5 - She's 16 during Royal. Listen, i know she's a first year, but it is stated IN GAME that "the girl who died [Kasumi] was 15" and Sumire is brainwahsed by Maruki on the twins' birthday (according to the wiki) so she would be 16 instead of 15 and that innacuracy drives me a little nuts i think. However we know that fandom wikis aren't the end all be all of characetr info so correct me if i'm wrong

15- I guess i enjoy shu/sumi and sumi/taba* sometimes – their stuff can be rly cute tbh – but i think we were robbed of a bond between Akechi and Sumire. They're the only two theives who arent really members of the theives (Sumire being openly against their methods since they'd make society over-rely on them, Akechi being Akechi), They're both people who pretended to be someboy they weren't because of a single man who thought himself holy, they reunited with eachother at their realest moment (Akechi being Crow, Sumire awakening to who she really is). Akechi would have the opportunity to open himself up at his own pace with her instead of traumadumping to strategically get closer to chosen people, Sumire would get to be more walls-down and feel bad instead of just pretending to be ok. Sumire would learn to be more blunt with others and Akechi would get to be less defensive and mellow down. They're both more honest with eachother than with other people. do you see the vision?

Now i wouldn't say i ship them, moreso i see a Warriors Bond between them where saying friends is too simple but neither would want to kiss eachother on the mouth like That by any means (That is a Gay Man and a Lesbian your honor). They're two ppl who have their worst moments near eachother for an hour and then proceed to cuddle on the couch watching featherman to calm down.

(also because a full on romantic ship would be a little weird considering their ages and all)

*typing the ships like that so that they don't show up on search

Not a request but a question...

What are your thoughts on inaccuracies in either "major or minor" characters for the sake of the plot in fan fiction?

For example: Instead of Mary, Freddie has a different girlfriend, or he figures out his sexuality much earlier, or that Miami had cancer or smth like that 😭💀

Will you ever write something like that?

Great question; I always love talking about my thoughts on fanfiction, and analysing things such as this. Throughout my 10 years of reading and writing it, I've picked up a lot of patterns and examples of when things are done well or poorly.

Creative innacuracies are difficult to do successfully and effectively. When reading a fanfiction, you already have a pre-concieved notion of what to expect and what you're getting into, so if a writer chooses to alter a canonical event/trait, they have to make sure that it's relevent, and that it aligns with the story. It needs to contribute to the overall plot, otherwise its value is extremely low and can actually be a distraction to the rest of the fanfiction.

I've seen lots of stories where Freddie was never with a female and he's strictly gay. This could go off in different directions here, where some fans believe he was bisexual, and some believe he was exclusively gay. I, myself, think he was bisexual, based off of his own words. So, I wouldn't have an issue with a fanfiction writer creating a female OC for Freddie to be with at some point in their timeline. Mary, however, is an important part of Freddie's story and how he became who he was, so switching out Mary for an entirely different person would be a risky move that the author would have to navigate in a way that contributes to Freddie's evolution as a character and a person.

When talking about canonical inaccuracies, it gets into AU territory. Personally, I am not a fan of Alternate Universe fiction. I'm pretty realistic about everything I write, minus the obvious shipping of Brian with my OC Maria, and Robert with Elena in a universe where his wife doesn't exist. Where the point is romance, innacuracies such as what I just mentioned can work and do work fairly frequently. The point of fanfiction is to add onto what is already there, or change certain aspects based off of the arena of work that it stems from.

RPF (Real Person Fanfiction) is a slippery slope, since you're essentially manipulating another person's actual life in order to live out a fictionalised scenario/fantasy through literature. Canonical inaccuracies are fine, as long as they make sense and contribute to the entire story and aren't randomised throughout.

Where I personally draw the line with these innacuracies, however, is when an author plays about with a real person's sexuality. I support the idea of people being able to write about whatever they want, as long as they're fully aware of what they're doing and the distinction between their fictional scenarios and what is the truth. However, I personally choose to avoid fanfictions in which the author has chosen to present a character through a sexuality they aren't.

For example: I have an issue with Jimbert (Robert Plant/Jimmy Page) fanfictions. It has nothing to do with the concept of homosexuality, but everything to do with the aversion of how the actual people choose to live. Same goes for Maylor fanfiction (Brian May/Roger Taylor). These are straight men, and I personally think that if you're going to write one of these people being romantically/sexually involved with an OC, at least make sure you're respecting their real-life sexuality. You're already writing about them in their private lives, the least one can do is that.

Ultimately, it's an author's decision how they want to manipulate a factual timeline to align with their fictional scenarios. It's personal preference. I don't think I would ever stray too far from fact in my own writing; I like to stick to the actual timeline of events, as closely as possible, down to the date, as well as adhere strongly to every real person's traits and personalities.

Subjectivity is a large part of fanfiction writing, and it's one of the things that makes it such a beautiful artform. And as a reader, what you choose to injest is up to you.

Sorry if this was a really long response, I just love talking about fanfiction!

Thank you for the ask <3
