I think it’s usually that the fanfic fills in what the media lacks, so fluff fic for the stories where everyone dies and tragedy comes to the family that always lands on their feet. It’s cathartic for some. My old man yells at cloud moment is that, you’re right, there’s SO much of it, and I feel like it discourages people from getting weird with their alternate universes. Like “ahhh I can’t write a ghost, time travel, superpower, etc. story because that’s not what people write in this fandom” meanwhile I’m foaming at the mouth to see creatively done AUs

there needs to be a study on why bob's burgers fans are so obsessed with writing about the belcher kids dying of a horrific illness or accident and in so much detail. like to an extent I understand wanting to explore darker themes with these characters but there's SO MUCH of it omg I have never been in a fandom this obsessed with angst before
