lecfosi nation (or lhcult.. or oscar nation…) do we have a nice summary of carlos’s crimes somewhere or even just a starter explanation for why he sucks i swear there are some but now i can’t find them

[fictionalnation]

Okay but Zelena is like the worst ouat character. I literally hate her and dont think she deserved being as much part of the plot as she was. She was just pure evil wanted revenge even tho regina did nothing to her and then stripped away reginas happiness lol this is definitely a zelena hater account. I loved the actress playing her tho but the character just agh so annoying i woulda rather had cora back even like tamara was more tolerable lol and even the camelot storyline was better zelena just no

[kaethefangirl]

And I'm back, women in anime are depicted so terribly its wild. I just wanted to come and say, fuck elizabeth (nnt/7ds), fuck orihime (bleach), and fuck hinata (naruto, but fuck her a little less cs i kind of like her)

It makes me angry that in almost every shonen, the main character has a personality and a life and things that they go through and have to overcome... and then theres the love interest. Always airheaded, always soft spoken, always kind, with no willpower at all. In bleach, I would ship rukia with ichigo so hard if she wasn't perfect with renji.

Bleach was actually insane because literally every female character had a personaltity except Orihime. I do like that Fairy tail is set apart from the rest because Lucy is kind of sort of the main character so she gets to have a personality too. Fanservice is like an obvious thing that I hate about anime and it takes away so much. If an anime was a 10 before factoring the fan service, it would be brought down to a 7 or 6 afterward. Orihime sucks over all, 2/10 love interest.

I'm pretty sure most of my hate of Winry (Fullmetal Alchemist) is stemmed from the countless anti-winry fanfiction I've read but she's a great standalone character. The only flaws I see in her is that she does the crying for the male mc thing, which is really out of character for her when I think about it. She has willpower, she's strong and independent, if anything she'd be travelling with them and staying strong for them because she understands that she's a liability if she breaks down crying at every bruise they get. That's more in character to me, but I suppose she is also a teenager so... I can't be too mad at her. All in all, Winry is an amazing female love interest. 9/10 love interst/mc.

Haruhi from Ouran Highschool really breaks the stereotype and gives us a refreshing view on women in anime. She wasn't obsessed with love, she didn't really care too much about anything. She wasn't the typical "yells at you for literally anything" female mc, or the "nice shy and airheaded" female mc. She wasn't even unique and I love that, she's genuinely a regular ass girl, and she was so hilarious. She's probably my favorite girl in anime if I'm being honest. 10/10 female love interest/mc.

Let's talk about Elizabeth. Elizabeth from 7ds is such a disgrace.. She sat and let Meliodas molest her and didn't care at all. You can tell when an anime is written by a man, and not to knock ALL anime written by men because there's some amazing ones out there, but things like that just make it so obvious. Diane and her obsession with Meliodas was weird too, it seemed a bit too much like a harem anime in season 1 and bits of season 2. Elizabeth was the typical soft spoken and overly kind love interest that I hate. Not a drop of personality there and then she has to blush with everything she says.. All in all, 0/10 love interest.

Last but not least, my dear Tohru Honda... Words cannot describe how much I love her. On the outside it looked like she was the typical soft spoken and overly kind female mc but she actually blew my mind. Her willpower is incredible, the fact that she stayed after finding out what Kyo really was and refused to leave. It wasn't a weird kind of moment where she was just blushing and refusing to leave because that's what the writers decided she was gonna do, but it was actually a great scene that showed who she was at her core. I loved how at the end of the series she disagreed with Kyo. "I might be nice but I do stand my ground." God, I love Tohru. It's like her kindness was genuine and real and so was her worry and concern for the Sohmas. All in all, 10/10 female love interest/mc.

[ouatsnark]

a lot of anti csers use the "always be an orphan line" or "pretty blonde distraction" line as a talking point as to why cs is toxic and him using emma's insecurities/trauma against her....but like that wasn't actually him talking, he didn't mean any of that deep down, he was LITERALLY CURSED WITH DARKNESS. the real killian jones loves emma and is her number one cheerleader in every situation. my favorite moment of him hyping her up is him saying "there's the fight i love." like, THAT'S killian.

The SQers say that a lot while at the same time trying to frame all of this as Regina being "truthful" when in reality Regina is attacking Emma's trauma and insecurities:

Even Neal fans try to ignore the fact that he laughed at Emma's abilities and ignored her opinions.

But anti-CSers refuse to acknowledge the fact that Hook had to literally be consumed by evil and be manipulated by the dark ones to get him to the point where he would say anything like that to Emma. The dark ones were using him. And he deeply regretted his weakness and he apologized. Regina never apologizes for any of her meanness.

Not a cs fan by any means and I have gripes with the writing, but omg some cs antis are insane???

Fandom Woes: Why people are writing AUs and the scam of “being original”

Many objections I have noticed of reimagined AUs(such as RWBY) is how "they don't resemble the property" and should be "their own thing", and the movie Across The Spider-Verse with the whole Spider-Men AUs and the criticism of multiverses in general.

Speaking from personal experience, there's a reason why they don't make their own thing. It's often because literary snobs have set these people up into a conundrum.

If you make a reimagined AU, they go out of their way to lecture "this does not resemble this thing anymore, make it its own thing."

And if you tweak it, the character and world designs, the names, anything to make it its own thing...

The snobs use greedy reductionism/nothing buttery to reduce it down to the inspirations and influences, especially when it came from a place of distaste and disagreement, and call it "derivative" and "butthurt thinly veiled fan fiction." and tell you to use different source material and "learn to be more original."

The snobs won't let you win.

So if you just keep trying to be “original” and you let these people define what that entails, your just letting others manipulate your creativity and your just dancing around for them like a monkey

You make an reimagined AU, its no longer "recognizable" and you get criticized

You make it its own thing, the inspirations, influences, and motives are pointed out and deemed "derivative" so you also get criticized

You're going to get criticized either way, so you might as well make a choice and stick with it.

And what's more infuriating is these sophists are guilty of hypocrisy

Let me give a personal example with the success of Kamen America, a superheroine I've come to love

She was created as an active disagreement how Captain Marvel was handled, combined with other elements such as Sailor Moon and various Tokusatsu

Once she gained popularity along with her Kamen Corps, many starting bashing her as a "porno captain marvel rip-off" because the creators dared to actively disagree with how a concept was handled, and I was lectured for my concept being "hostile" to RWBY which was born out my disagreement and distaste how its characters and ideas were handled

Yet these very people would be supporting the Evil Superman concept like Homelander and other characters of The Boys

and the Anti-Narnian His Dark Materials Trilogy, the former written by a guy who hates superheroes, and the latter a staunch atheist who can't stand CS Lewis and Christianity

Both who have said things about both subjects that are the textbook definition of "hostile" and yet nobody bats an eye.

Because its not wrong when "the right people" do it towards "the wrong things"

And the excuse they snobs say because these make the concepts objectively "more interesting" backed up with a whole "we-know-better-than-you" attitude which is leading me to hate that word "interesting"

The "Right People" can do whatever they want, but us "Wrong People" gotta follow all these rules and only have what the "Right People" tell us what we can have, how we create, and what we enjoy.

Then they turn around and lecture you about being "entitled" when the only thing your often guilty of being "entitled" to is your opinions and feelings, which last time I checked, people are entitled to.

book review: she who became the sun

Woohoo, this stacked well with reading the "end of Ming, early Qing" stretch of The Search for Modern China. It's set in a similar time period, and Zhu, the "random peasant who turned out to have an amazing knack for leading a rebellion" protagonist, fits neatly into the historical period where many peasants or failed bureaucrats were discovering that this was their calling.

GOOD novel. Chewy. It's good. Had enough crazy brilliant protagonist energy to remind me of the Vorkosigan saga:

"That monk knows exactly what he wants. The night before the battle at Yao River, he asked me to make that gong for him. I made it, he used it, and he won,” Jiao said. “I’ve met his type before. They either go far or die early. And either way, they have a tendency to make collateral damage of normal people.” He raised his eyebrows at Yuchun. “Are you special, little brother? Because if you’re not, I’d watch out."

Will definitely be buying the sequel.

(At this point the review becomes spoilery.)

One of the most gorgeous blood feud I've ever seen! The players in the blood feud are:

- Ouyang, the sole survivor of the massacre of his Han family – begged for his life as a child, was spared but castrated, and has grown up into a fearsome Mongol general

- Chaghan, the high ranking Mongol military commander who did the massacreing

- Esen, Chaghan's son who conforms perfectly to Mongol masculine warrior ideals. Loves Ouyang as a best friend but fails to see, at all, how bitter Ouyang is with his life and how set he is on revenge.

- Wang, Chaghan's half-Han nephew whom he adopted as a son.

Each pair of the above either outright hates each other, OR is plotting the other's destruction despite great love, except Chaghan and Esen. It's fabulous! Ouyang is... oh, just read this short post about CS Lewis's definition of damnation. Ouyang is very damned.

Oh, Ouyang. Women are terrible! The politics.” He groaned. “Consider yourself lucky you’ll never have to suffer this kind of torment.” Esen never meant to hurt, and Ouyang had always taken care to pretend matter-of-fact acceptance about his exclusion from family life. Why should he blame Esen for not reading his mind to see the anger and pain there? But the truth was: he did blame Esen. Blamed him even more than he would a stranger, because it hurt more that someone so beloved should not see the truth of him. And he blamed and hated himself, for hiding that truth.

Ouyang's arc is a superbly executed tragedy. The climax, I think, physically winded me slightly.

And Wang –

This book is primarily about people-who-are-not-fully-men by the Mongol standards of manhood, and of the GNC characters, Wang was the one who struck me as queerest by nature/volition rather than circumstance. His gender is Accountant Who Loves The Arts, and his Manchu relatives HATE him for it. His gender noncompliance seems like "I'm doing this because I really want to and anything else is painful" rather than "I'm doing this because I was castrated" (Ouyang) or "I'm doing this because I was going to literally starve to death unless I latched on to the niche that was meant to be my dead brother's" (the protagonist).

Said GNC people sniff each other out quickly and feel Weird Magnetism. "Like calls to like" is an italicized refrain. In fact, Zhu's nonbinarydar is so advanced that she intuits Ouyang's emotional damage within minutes of meeting him, and feels a magnetic pull to him for the rest of the book. As a shipper, I'm a huge fan. (What I want: Ouyang/Zhu/Ma triad fic.) As a person who yearns for anyone to understand Ouyang, I'm a huge fan. But I'm an anti-fan of "these two people who are very different are of the Same Kind because they don't fit into mainstream culture". Such groupings are politically expedient but I feel allergic to seeing them painted as intrinsic similarities – to say, these two things are the same because they are not X, seems to ontologically center "X vs not X" when the political project should be to dissolve the salience of that division.

Through that strange quiver of connection to the Yuan’s eunuch general, she had seen beneath that carved-jade mask to his shame and self-hate and anger. He had a wound for a heart, and that made him a more dangerous opponent than anyone here realized.

I feel weird writing a paragraph about this, but the book is really explicit that these radically different GNC people are on the same wavelength and I'm like, NO, they're really not!... they could have grown into the weird intense soulmate enemy bond they immediately have in book 1, and that would have felt narratively rewarding to me – recognition through inquiry and (reluctant) empathy and reflection, not, Nonbinary Frog Pheromones

Finally: I loved Zhu's romance arc and childhood trauma and fucking everything. She's ten years old when her father is kicked to death by bandits for not offering them enough food (the whole region is some years into a famine), and by the time she's an adult this feels so faraway that... well, as an adult she sees a food seller at a market being extorted, and the scene goes like this:

“Hey, granny!” Well, less hope for some. Zhu, observing the unfolding human drama, felt a stirring of unease: the memory of something witnessed so long ago that it might as well have been in a past life.

Seriously, the kicked to death thing never comes up again, and the elision is vast and leaves a lot of room for echoes. Similarly – several minutes before being kicked to death, the desperate father, who devalues girl children in a culturally unexceptional way, offers ten year old Zhu as food for the bandits so they'll leave him and his son alone. (This whole scene is amazingly written, and does not get in the way of the inherent intensity and awfulness of this event.) Zhu does not process this onscreen At All. Once her entire family is dead she starts rolling on her journey to becoming a warlord like a polished marble. Said journey involves her taking her brother's place at a monastery and playing at being a not-girl so well that even the heavens won't notice that she's of the Grindable To Nothingness gender, all while having ZERO thoughts about the "eat my daughter and leave us alone" incident. Fucking fantastic.

Anyway, at the beginning of becoming a warlord, she meets Ma, a Girl Who Is Somehow Nice Despite The World Making This Very Hard:

in her face there was such a depth of raw and innocent emotion that Zhu’s eye was drawn as if to the scene of an accident

and

Zhu, watching Ma with an alien ache in her heart, saw the girl turn away at the critical moment [of someone she cares about being executed]. There was nobody to comfort her. She simply folded over onto herself in the middle of that empty bubble in the crowd, crying. Zhu felt a strong protective urge rise up in her at the sight. With alarm she realized it was a new desire, already rooted alongside that other desire that defined everything she was and did. It felt as dangerous as an arrowhead lodged in her body, as though at any moment it might work its way in deeper and cause some fatal injury.

and marries her. I love this, because I'm a huge sucker for "I am a very bad person and I love you and hope you will keep me in line" ships, and this is explicitly part of their deal!

However, after fights about less taboo atrocities, Ma comes back to Zhu after Zhu kills an eight year old Ma is attached to (for being a ?dalai lama? who is inconvenient to Zhu's goals), so it's a little unclear to me how much Ma is going to keep this function.

a little reflection

I get it. Everything that happened today in the fandom, I understand. I've been on this ship too long not to understand why what happened happened. That Camren shipper account has been the nuisance of the fandom for a long time and they crossed the line. I know. It wasn't right what they did, but what Lauren did wasn't right either. Not only because of the word she has used to respond to the Camren shipper account, but because she herself has experienced harassment and everything that bothers me is the same as always.

It bothers me that every time Lauren mentions the fandom in a negative way, she empowers those "fans" to throw shit at us. EVERY SINGLE TIME. What bothers me is that we all have to fall into the same bag every time this kind of drama happens, it's exhausting, because that only happens when Lauren talks about it. And I understand it. Camren con Tortilla has been my personal nightmare since I've been in this fandom, but before today nothing had happened folks, nothing.

Nothing happened to put the antis on alert.

Nothing extra happened, except for one small detail. Lauren paid attention to a Camren shipper account before responding to what she responded to this other Camren account.

And yes, the first Camren shipper account talked about Always Love (AL) and the second account did too. What was the error of the second account? That in addition to talking about AL they also mentioned Laucy, Tyren and Camren

That was the problem, folks. It's been a while since Lauren has referred to the fandom in any way, but oh coincidentally, she's paid attention to two CS accounts positively and negatively. Why? Always Love. Smart mutuals will understand.

It's also no coincidence that Lucy just appeared on a Tik Tok livestream talking about Lauren. Just when Always Love is being promoted. That's not a coincidence, we all know that everything is connected.

This fandom has survived for years in the shadows because nothing we talk about goes viral. We're not like Larry or Kaylor and that's because we know we have to keep everything low key.

Or is it that they haven't realized that the only times the fandom has gone viral is when Lauren talks about Camren even if it's in a negative way?

Remember what happened after the podcast folks

Everything was a chaos and @fa-by saved us in some way but also Lauren posted this after that podcast

Camren symbols and alebrijes from Oaxaca.

She practically did the same in some way but I think that she made a mistake with the word she used to answer to that "fan". Mental health again. A word like delusional that we now use in our favor.

So... I understand. I will support AL (I have two cellphone for the streaming 🤭) and I will support the girls separately and together as always, but I'm tired. We are not Camren con Tortilla. They doesn't represent me, us. That's why I'm tired. Even when I know everything I'm tired.

I love her, but I'm tired

[01:09] CS (heavy angst)

Tags : heavy angst, mention of character death, hurt no comfort (?)

I'm sorry I needed heavy angst and this came up

There's something in the dark alleyway that makes him uneasy. It's not just the nights around here -that are quite dangerous for anyone like him- nor it is the heavy smell of drugs that envelops the whole way that made him that uneasy.

It's the fact that he's alone. For the first time.

Choi San doesn't like being alone. It made him feel lonely.

But everyone is gone now. He's alone. He's been alone since the end.

Ateez. Halateez. The government. The white masked giants.

They ended. All of them.

And San is alone.

His first love -his soulmate- betrayed them. He left. "To protect Yeosang" he said. "Because he's my best friend. And his parents would've killed him." But Wooyoung left nonetheless.

For a better place, San thinks, a place where there's no anti-fun government, no need for rebellion or guerrilla. A world where Wooyoung can be happy. Himself.

It doesn't change the fact that San is alone. The others, they were taken by the giants or-

No. No. No. Don't think of Hongjoong hyung.

The tears -i can't really stop them at this point- start to fell from his eyes once again. They all knew the power of the Cromer could be dangerous. They had fought over this power. But Hongjoong always (tried to) stayed true to his word. He will bring peace and music and arts could be part of this world's life once again.

But there is a disease in the heart of man. The disease is human emotion.

And Hongjoong lost himself in a reality. Another one. A better one - he never came back.

After Hongjoong's disappearance. The other left little by little. Seonghwa couldn't believe his leader, the man he followed to the end of worlds and realities, left without him.

Seonghwa made himself disappear in despair.

And once their two olders were gone. After the funerals (could it be one ? San's still sure Seonghwa is still there, somewhere) the others left. Yeosang left right, Mingi left, Yunho tried to go back while Jongho tried to go on.

San stayed. Waiting for their return.

He'll always stay. For them. For Ateez. For what they were.

But it's been years. And night fell once again over him.

The moon shines bright tonight.

Shines like their smile. A smile San never recovered. Not since their breakup.

In this dark alleyway that smells like drugs and death, San dreams. Of a life where he and the others didn't pursued this dream of rebellion. Of guerrilla. Of a life where the Cromer is nothing more than a timepiece, and hourglass. Of a life where he and the others are dancing and singing and making music. Together.

And maybe, they would've been a group. In this dream where they are together, making music. And maybe people would've love their music, and relate to some lyrics. And maybe they would've made concerts where fans would've scream their lyrics with them.

Maybe, in this dream world, Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, Mingi, San, Wooyoung and Jongho would've been together.

And maybe when San closes his eyes in this dark alleyway, it's for the last time. He'll see tomorrow if he awoke.

Maybe in another reality, Ateez isn't just a dream.

Hi! I am a HUGE Captain Swan fan! What are the main reasons why you love Captain Swan/Hook?

Hello!

Thank you for being a great ask- I haven't received one in YEARS! 😁

And welcome to the fandom!

I suppose my love for them is all in their complexities and how they compliment each other, if that makes sense?

One comes from the side of the 'heroes' and the other from the 'villains' and yet neither is completely that? They both have more of a grey area and they embrace that- they have both come from difficult and tragic struggles, and it helps with them understanding each other on a level that others may not.

While Hook chose the darker path, Emma chose the lighter one... and yet both can understand why the other did what they did. Their different paths from similar pasts bring them to create one that they both pave towards happiness.

They compliment each other's personalities. They bring out the best in each other, support each other, and that includes being honest enough to call each other out when they need to.

The connection is visible right from the beginning and their chemistry, excluding the romance, is electric from the get-go... the undeniable attraction and romance that follows is the big bonus.

I love their teamwork, their banter, the way they both know that not everything is cut and dry and sometimes you have to do the wrong thing for the right reason etc.

They're also not dependent- sure, they support each other and need each other sometimes, but they are their own characters without needing to be stuck with the other..... at least they were in the early years 👀

They just get each other.

They still bicker, disagree, and have moments neither are proud of, but it makes them human. It shows a real couple. Human. Flawed.

To me, they really showed what kindred spirits really meant.

BTW.... This is my personal thoughts and feelings for CS and they come from when I loved them most... which was between S2-S5ish.

Everyone's going to have their own thoughts, views and perception of them. This one's just mine! 😁

This is also my original CS opinion.

That said, Hook is just my guy 😂. The complex, flawed, hot headed, anti hero with a hundred layers to him. He's not always doing the right thing but his heart tried to always be in the right place.

He's pretty good at leading with his head and using strategy when it's not personal.... when it's personal, the dude goes in blind and leads with his heart. Which... doesn't always end well 😂

He's the exact kind of character I always go for. Messy, cheeky, brave and chaotic.

April 26, 2024

I impulse bought two indie patterns from etsy and I'm actually so excited to try them omg. Like the images in the reviews look SO GOOD and I'm kind of hoping that I can eventually modify it for a basic block because I've had so little luck making one on my own. But before that, I'm just excited to have a springy, summery midi dress. Also hoping that I can make the bust area fitted enough to forgo a bra without sacrificing comfort. A big ask, but perhaps possible.

I feel so bad for my CS prof. Basically no one shows up to class anymore. Maybe 10-20 percent the past two weeks? Which I understand that people are getting busy and that the lectures are available online and that the lack of a final exam/homework that tests the content of the last two weeks does not incentivize getting on a bus to get to the engineering school from the main campus, but ughhhh it's just so awkward.

Investing is only fun while stock market go up. I lost something like 5% of my portfolio in just two weeks which kind of hurt a little because that's a significant portion of what I've put in there the last few months! I know, I know, it's all about time in the market, not short-term fluctuations. And I've been doing well with not peeking and just leaving well enough alone. It's just that I was excited to hit a milestone, but my balance dipped right before I hit it.

Excited to bring my uke up this summer! For fingerpicking and learning new chords and brushing up on other things I'd learned previously. Lots of new songs to try since I started listening to my daylist. Wonder if I could fit my sewing machine into a carryon...

Oh oh also! Severance was really really really good! Excellent, even! Combines some of my favorite elements from shows like Stranger Things (I've only seen s1 tho lol), Lost, Pantheon... a thoroughly entertaining work that can also be overanalyzed to my liking. Big fan of science fiction that's a little unsettling. Big big fan of scifi that asks what it means to be human and who/what is deserving of human rights.

Today I'm thankful for students who are infinitely braver than me. Students across all fifty states. At my undergrad institution and my current institution. I am so proud of them.

With the current political climate, the themes of THG feels especially... relevant. Uncomfortably relevant. Power, revolution, mass movement, conversation, connection over division. I feel and have felt frustrated for months. For years, sure, but my frustrations have built especially quickly over the last several months. It has come to a head with the most recent big federal bill being passed. It's not that I don't believe that there is a threat of "foreign adversaries maliciously using my data", but I also try to be anti-sinophobic, because sometimes ""China!!!1!"" just comes off as a lazy scapegoat, kinda propaganda-y (not that I dismiss how the tiktok algorithm can also be propagandized for its own purposes). I am not immune to propaganda, but I can try to critically consider why someone might want me to see one narrative over another. That was a tangent. Just overthinking about my game :/ Maybe I should've done some zombie thing (but even The Last of Us has underlying political themes, so).

I am also thankful for kindhearted strangers. I need to more regularly meet and converse with strangers. Unfortunately, I have granny tendencies and get tired early. I was supposed to go to a grad student party tonight. Did not happen. Maybe some other time.

Anyway, bonk the police.

[kmp78]

Asian anon here. All I wanna say is I hope people can just shut it with the “VK vs TTT” thing. I admit I liked coming to this blog at first for having similar opinions regarding TTT: I’m sorry, she is a show off and no “true role model”- but neither is JL I agree. Anyway, I love all the juice and circus mockery on this blog and just hope we don’t miss updates by bantering on and on about stuff that really is minuscule compared to his troubled film career especially atm.😬 Saw some anti Tron 3 fans on Twitter and wow, the amount of violent language in some regarding towards it… Wonder how it will turn out with the strikes going on.

I forgot the strike was still going... 😂🙊

But then again so have CS and JL, so... 🤷🏼‍♀️

[phoenixwrites]

Found this browsing their tumblr and roflmao I think someone forgot to tell them what anti really means. It means you're pro censorship and also pro harassment. Like I'm glad to know they proudly are okay being called antis and horrible people and that they're 100% okay with sending death threats or people reblogging their call out post using a hashtag promoting violence to "pedos":

And remember folks, i literally just told this to somebody but, when a pedophile reaches out to call you an anti—even from anon—they’re calling you an anti-pedophile, so i’d personally thank them lol they want us to be sad they’re saying we’re anti-pedophiles??? yeah, no thanks lol tell your mama too while you’re at it

I checked out the blog in question, just a little—I’d heard that they were manipulating photos of me or something. The level of unhinged is a little terrifying and I honestly hope they’re talking to a therapist, because I think they’re going to hurt someone or themselves over their manufactured callouts.

“Anti” for those who are curious, are fans who make their opposition to a ship or a person their entire personality and have determined to harass and abuse righteously crusade against said person or ship instead of doing the adult thing and focusing on the things you love rather than the things you hate.

For the record, I had periods of doing this kinda thing myself, particularly towards Reylo and CS, because I hated the ship so much. Now that I am older, you know, practically ancient at 32 (how they love to harp on my age) i’ve learned that even though I find the ships viscerally disturbing and problematic, people who enjoy them can and should. For however much I loathe Reylo, Reylo fanfic writers are getting publishing deals and that is incredibly inspiring to me.

FanFiciton Multiverse: The Emperor-Verse

Given the nature of my RWBY Reimagined AU, Saints of Remnant, I'm thinking compiling some of my fanfictions in a universe thats inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia which is implied to exist in this universe but never truly touched upon until a major crossover event and even then, its set after The Last Battle so Narnia is long gone, but it vaguely implied and referenced to explain how this multiverse works and even the origins of some worlds along utilizing the theology of my Catholic Faith, The Works of CS Lewis and Medieval Cosmology, since all these things in my opinion can help tie them all together.

The Emperor-Verse(link to the blog is in the title)

The Emperor-Verse is the fanfiction multiverse in which these stories take place, named after the Supreme Deity that rules these worlds The-Emperor-Of-All-That-Is which were created or adopted by The Great Prince and given The Breath of Life

My Catholic Faith along with the works of CS Lewis served great inspiration for this universe, but mostly its a prototype of one of my fictional universes, or perhaps you can call a ‘multiverse’, known as The Loreverse which you can find on my primary blog

And here are some of the titles

RWBY: Saints of Remnant(reimagined)

Code Geass: Lelouch of The Knighood(reimagined, possible placeholder title)

Skullgirls: Reimagined(placeholder name, need to think of something more fitting)

Bionicle: A Tale of Hope(reimagined)

Fate/Defiance(Fan Sequel to Unlimted Bladeworks)

Skeleton Knight in Another World: The Order of The Sacred Blood(alternate sequel)

BlazBlue: Alterized Fate(reimagined)

D.Gray-Man: Encore(reimagined)

There may be more in the future

It may feature a crossover involving five characters, two from our world which shares the same world as Fate in this case, jumping from world to world and bring some other characters across worlds depending on the situation

Now you’re probably asking

“Why are you doing this?”

Mostly because like I said, its a prototype of concepts and stories which these franchises I’m using I take heavy inspiration from, which will most likely become there own things mostly for The Lorverse.

If I used The Loreverse which I plan to make money on, it might lead to legal issues and I don't want that to happen.

“Why are you using your Religion?”

Mostly due to it being a strong foundation, notably theology, for most of my stories, there are many strong foundations of storytelling, religion, history, you can even fantasize science if you put the imagination, time, and effort into it.

After doing some soul searching and listening to the Narnia books on Audible, which Narnia is implied to exist, or I should say had existed, in this universe, and I might include elements of CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy

The multiverse takes these universes and blends them into my faith and its theology, and even uses medieval cosmology, and makes them more like swashbucklings epics and fairy stories.

“Isn’t this kind of entitled and disrespectful?”

Disagreement isn’t necessarily malicious, and entitlement is not inherently bad if its your opinions and subjective feelings which people are entitled to.

Tolkien was heavily inspired by his distaste for how Shakespeare handled certain concepts, such as the Ents when he was upset and dissatisfied that there were no walking talking trees in the Enchanted Fortest of Macbeth, and the Valar Aule the Smith and the origin of the Dwarves make him something of an Anti-Prometheus

Not to mention Philip Pullman, the author of His Dark Materials Trilogy, made it out his distaste how CS Lewis made the Chronicles of Narnia and his overall beef with Christianity, and nobody seems to take issue with that.

I’m not trying to spite anyone, I’m not trying to spite Monty Oum with my RWBY Reimagined AU, Especially when I never knew the guy, and that can be said with the other AUs I’m not trying to change canon or its “trajectory” whatever that means in this context. I’m not saying Pyrrha and Arkos and the current direction of RWBY post V3 was objectively bad, just not my taste, I expected it to be more like Star Wars or Avatar the Last Airbender, and ships I wanted akin to Ed and Winry, Han and Leia, Kagome and Inuyasha, I think you get the idea, and I know not everyone who liked it and are fine with how these other franchises turned out is an elitist about it, just in my experience, there were people who were. And I won’t touch upon the ships I have a beef with on this blog either.

And I’m not saying any of the franchises I’ve been covering are all objectively bad, even when they use concepts or take directions with them I don’t like due to personal tastes and preferences and “personal emotional beats”, I have my reasons for them just as you all have reasons for yours.

I am making these AU stories, which will eventually be revamped into original stories because looking back on them, their worlds, characters, concepts, ships I wanted, and other ideas all could have been in stories I believe are worth telling and I was disappointed and frustrated that they weren’t. That’s it.

Yeah, it may also be due to subjective and personal feelings, at least so I’ve been told, but I try to integrate that in a meaningful way. Once again, I have my reasons for them as you all do for yours.

“But isn’t this crossover and multiverse stuff, especially if your including Narnia and your religion kinda cringe?”

It’s mostly because helps organize my stories and gives a stable foundation when reimagining these stories, notably the magical nature of each world such as the nature of Remnant(Aura, Semblance, Faunus), Geass, Blue(BlazeBlue), Bionicle mysticism, and so-on and so-forth as different configurations of Deep Magic

I’m also utilizing medieval cosmology as Lewis did to explain the multiverse by organizing with every universe being a “Sphere” and our world, blended with the Fate Type Moon universe for practical purposes, being “The Firstborn Sphere” and the outermost sphere being Heaven or some had called “Aslan’s Country” or as its called in this Multiverse “The Great Empire” which also can be applied to the multiverse itself aka The Great Cosmic Sphere. and Hell or also known as “Tash’s Country” or “The Netherworld” exists completely outside of the multiverse 

As well using the Biblical Story of Genesis as a basis especially with Adam and Eve’s connection to many sentient species of the Multiverse.

Now personally when it comes to my faith, I can live with either creationism or theistic evolution, just anything besides outright materialism.

All of this just helps tie everything together...

And like I said, all in due time, these will be made into original stories for my original universe.

I can see why people think using my religion and Narnia is cringe due to the creatively bankrupt Pureflix movies are all feel-good with no substance written by mostly I like to call "Joel Olsteens" rather than the works of martyrs and church fathers, or the esteemed medievalist CS Lewis and his friend JRR Tolkien, a hardened veteran who's family and his own life was nurtured by a serious but still merry understanding of the faith.

And I'm not saying I'm on par with these guys, but I feel like if I take cue from them, I can be sincere in my work.

So I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer, which will most likely be put on AO3 and FanFiction.Net, and who knows, I might get a few artists to commission to redesign some characters or illustrate some scenes if anyone is up for it.
