Genuine question, as someone who has characters of my own: how do I get over my embarrassment for having OC’s? I’d never make fun of someone for having them, but whenever it comes across my dash (especially if it’s ship art) I can’t help but… (for lack of a better word), cringe. I love people being creative but it feels like I can’t get over the backlash against things like that.

It's something you have to unlearn, and that's not always easy. I think as a whole, most fandoms are not OC friendly unless it's something like a videogame in which you create the main character from scratch. Most people will stick to already established characters, because that's easy to write. Very few are brave enough to make their own story.

Firstly, l'm going to discuss comics, this is a world of many worlds. DC as example has so many universes, and there's no way I could name them all. I think many of them are numbered, and fans who create their own usually make a numbered or named verse. Like, Codotverse! (if Codot can put his whole voice out there, you can do it too, btw)

Personally, I think the open ended-ness of comic worlds is a positive for fandom. It makes it so anyone can tell a story and despite it being fannon, it's really no less canon than what's in between the pages. Comic writers themselves can't get things straight half the time, heck I've been known to nit pick comics because they forget some fact about Jonathan that SHOULD be well known.

Now, lets talk OCs. The fact is, and this probably sounds mean, people would rather read about Scarecrow or Riddler then -insert Hench character for shipping here-

The reason is as stated above, it's easier to get into. They know what to expect. And unless this OC is someone you've been talking about for years and they have curated their own mini fandom within the fandom, most ARE gonna scroll by. That's sad, I know.

BUT that doesn't mean you should quit or be embarrassed about an OC. People can come to love them, but this usually takes effort and dedication on your part. You are the one and only author and content creator of this OC. Nobody else is gonna make content for them without insensitive. That means you gotta talk talk talk, and draw draw draw, then write write write. MAKE them care. People can very easily come to love and OC,. and i know this for a fact because I used to have my own and I always got asks, people wanted to draw them, or write stories, etc.

The thing is, you gotta embrace being potentiality embarrassing. If you don't take a step forward and put yourself out there, who will? This sounds very internal for you, and it's literally something that is taught to the youngins of fandom very quickly. Fandom, as a whole (think big here) will squash or despise anything that isn't palatable. And what is palatable? that changes often. Usually, fandom is a progressive space but that doesn't mean each and every sect doesn't have issues. Big issues that are spread between a lot of fandoms include misogyny and fetishization. This is why you sometimes see creators and fandom goers attacking canon female love interests and OCs. This is also why you see a huge influx of men being shipped together and any mention of either man loving or having a relationship with a woman is often erased. These two things go hand in hand quiiiite a lot actually. Just, a thing to watch out for and think critically about.

In the end, it boils down to making your audience care amongst a sea of easy to read and already palatable content. You gotta swim against the current. Make a space for yourself, provide something that doesn't exist yet. (for me, it was hi res comic scans)

Basically, don't let the haters win.

Go ahead and tell me your fic titled "Glasgow Kiss" <3

Ohhh I love this one I have a few thoughts:

-Ghoap Wrestling AU where that's Soap’s signature move, it's known for being able to take pretty much any opponent down (Imagining Soap with that bright red fake blood creeping down from his hairline and going in his teeth and he smiles all manic AHHHHH imagine the promo for that it'd go so hard!!)

-Ghoap where Soap continues to make references to the mysterious "Glasgow kiss" over and over and Ghost like. Knows what that is but pretends to play along with not knowing. Soap is all tongue in cheek like he's got Ghost fooled, that Ghost must be wracking his brain for what it could possibly mean (Turns out Soap doesn't know what it means. Soap takes Ghost to Glasgow, on a nice date, they are walking on a street watching a sunset and Soap just. Kisses him. Ghost genuinely has to bite his tongue to keep from ruining the moment, Soap is very pleased with himself.)

-SoapGaz where Soap is brainwashed by the enemy and everyone's trying to reason with him (or even just take him down, he's much too dangerous- its all their orders from above, to kill Soap by any means necessary) and at this point maybe it's pre-relationship but it was clear where they were headed together. They are struggling and fighting each other, Soaps got Gaz disarmed and he's got a dagger in his hands trying to kill Gaz, absolutely zero recognition in his eyes of who he was trying to kill- then Gaz headbutts him. Hard as he can. And WHEW it's like a breath of fresh air to see Soap blinking himself back to awareness, crying and trying to hold Gaz close because he's so confused about what's even going on and his love is injured AHHHH

-'09 SoapPrice where they are so repressed it isn't even funny- no time to act out their feelings had they been normal men (would they even be the same had they been born normal, led normal lives?) so their sexual frustration and anger at the world for keeping them apart just turns into actual real violence between them, fighting over mission plans that ends with them falling to the floor with a thud, grappling and snarling at each other. They are yelling things at each other that can both be understood as about the mission and about the love they have for each other they don't have the time or ability to express properly. Ends with Soap reeling his head back, yelling something explicitly about how he feels, then headbutting Price with all his might. They end up with twin scars. (And concussions, probably)

-SoapGraves (I'm sorry you've been dealing with all my soapgraves thoughts recently) but thinking about Soap who is a little more gray area with Graves just because they are in a super toxic situationship and the last physical contact they make is Graves headbutting Soap to knock him out and it absolutely leaves a scar on his forehead, right between his brows, and when people ask him how it felt in that moment, to lie there dazed and betrayed, Soap just runs a finger over the scar and smiles to himself and says that 'it felt like a kiss'.

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it >:3
