‘What a company I ended up with,’ Geralt continued, shaking his head. ‘Brothers in arms! A team of heroes! What have I done to deserve it? A poetaster with a lute. A king who abdicated to elope with the very same poetaster. A wild and lippy half-dryad, half-woman. A vampire, who’s about to notch up his fifth century. And a bloody Nilfgaardian who insists he isn’t a Nilfgaardian.’ ‘And leading the party is the Witcher, who suffers from pangs of conscience, impotence and the inability to take decisions,’ Regis finished calmly. ‘I suggest we travel incognito, to avoid arousing suspicion.’ ‘Or raising a laugh,’ Milva added. 'Also, I was a prince when I eloped.' Radovid added, quite primly. 'You're a king??' Cahir shouted, distraught.
― edited quote from Andrzej Sapkowski, Baptism of Fire

Look. Look. I still like Batfam. I think it’s fun and interesting and I like fandoms where the fans are actively engaging with each other…. I also think they need their own goddamn tag and needs to stop intruding into the rest of DC and even just straight up comics Batfam. Fanon Batfam just needs to be rebranded and be its own thing because if it is not its own thing, then I suffer trying to find literally anything DC that is not Batfam-centric. Y’all are fucking insufferable and need to keep your echo chamber contained.
Let me read fanfics based on the canon characterizations.
#personal#dc#anti batfam#thank god for the JLI#they’ve been spared for the most part from batfam fanon#i literally just filtered out the past four years of Batfam fanfics#and I just read stuff from before because it’s unlikely to be tainted by WFA#sometimes I also filter out YJ because I also blame it for fanon#I LIKE GOOD DAD BATMAN OKAY#THE PROBLEM IS THAT GOOD DAD BATMAN IS WHO HE SHOULD BE BUT NOT WHO HE IS#like the ideal Batman is hope idealized in the dark#a spotlight in a polluted night sky#that’s BATMAN#he should be able to hold a child’s hand and be kind#but instead the comics give us this fuckass sigma male#annoying that the cartoons capture Batman better than his comics#but it’s also the cartoons that influence fanon most right after WFA#Target demographics and all that jazz#BRUCE WAYNE SHOULD BE A GOOD DAD#BUT I CANT HAVE GOOD DAD BRUCE AND ALSO EMOTIONALLY COMPLICATED EVERYONE ELSE#I want to get into literally all of the other big DC families#been meaning to check out super fam once I consume all Booster Gold content

Hm. I wrote this on my discord but wth, lets see if I can put nicely here. The whole "Aizawa sabotages Izu" is a great concept in fics, even more as people need to remember Aizawa is Hori stand in...But in canon, I don't think he did that.
This is not me defending him. Far from it. I would read a fic like that if it meant he is fired. I did a fic like that a few months ago...but can't really see happening in canon.
1) too much work for nothing. Aizawa hiding all the supposed offers from Izu would make others heroes confused as for the lack of response "oh he wants to tarnish Izu's reputation" which again, grear concept for a fic but not in canon. Heroes would go to UA ask about why Izu didnt replies any of their offers and all Izu needs to say "I never received any offer" to all eyes fall on Aizawa.
Also, his beloved got offers PLURAL. Aizawa doesn't need more in life.
Hori🤝Aizawa
Fangirling over BK.
2) No one is learning anything in those interships. Beast Jeanist didnt taught shit about bk's quirk, he spoke smth that is pretty damn obvious but bk. (Bc bk is a psicopath) but no need to instructed him about his quirk. Heroes saw Izu break his bones and are off putting by this.
Guys have you seen any hero offer to help a student?
Aizawa helped Shinso...one time and never again. But dont think he helped Shinso with his quirk, rather it was a "you shall be a mini me"
No hero helps with students quirks.
Izuku was already label as "difficult" thanks to the Sport Festival.
3) The intershipd doesnt matter. Seriously? Does UA offers anything to the student who has interships? Like, if Izu got 10 interships wpuld he graduated faster? I dont know, hori really doesnt give a fuck.
Why would he? Its not his beloved
I think it was an ask @theloganator101 and @doodlegirl1998 answered and I can't help by add.
Like Aizawa doesnt need do more against Izu, the odds are always against him. Aizawa can sit back, relax and cheer for his beloved bc Hori got his back.
No one in UA wants to teach Izu...why people think heroes like Mirko will?
#hori is a bad writer#aizawa critical#izuku deserves better#mha critical#bhna critical#fanon vs canon sometimes both suck

Yknow I think a common mischaracterisation of Harumi is literally that people think Garmadon actually adopted her and acted like a father figure to her. If anything it was more like the other way round.
Garmadon was the one guided by Harumi, he wasn’t really independent and she overall held the power until partway through the season.
#this is why I’m a bit iffy on the Lloyd Harumi are related angle#because it necessitates we mischaracterise Harumi and Garmadon’s dynamic#I’m not against lloyd and Harumi having a sibling dynamic as a concept#but it has to be in the context of some rewrite or fanon yknow#sometimes when people see dynamics they try and make it found family but really genetically#like not every dynamic between an older male and a younger character is a fatherly bond#maybe we are just a bit fatherless idk#but like fr sometimes relationships are unique and can’t be easily categorised#but either way I saw a few posts a while back arguing that Garmadon and Harumi’s dynamic was toxic#and they were right#like that wasn’t healthy for either of them really#tbh I still don’t like how Harumi was written it was rlly inconsistent imo and Garmadon could’ve been done better#ninjago#ninjago harumi#ninjago garmadon#i diagnose all of us with fatherlessness#i think I’m allowed to say that bc I’m fatherless for real life

i really dont like using my blog to vent or complain cause idk thats not what social media is about to me its just a space to be silly about the things i like. that being said. im just gonna do a mini vent in the tags abt smth that isnt even half as serious as im making it sound
#Listen. i found live action Zoro jarringly serious and edgy at times. Very juvenile. But its very telling to me that the ppl complaining-#-the loudest abt his characterization and scenes with luffy are the same zosan shippers constantly putting him down in their works#genuinely every other fic is filled to the brim with characters constantly talking down to him like a toddler and mocking him#and even telling Sanji shit like omg youre so brave for being in love with him it must be so difficult#and suddenly as a reader Im not rooting for the relationship im rooting for Zoro to get better friends#so like are you guys SURE opla zoro is this edgy oc or does it seem that way bc you flanderize him just as much in the opposite direction#taking his goofy scenes and exaggerating them to make him seem barely functional#when in the anime he IS competent and people trust him and find him very cool when he drops badass lines all of the sudden#sometimes he even actively tries to be cool and edgy. its not rare or unheard of. we were all there when he started posing in the wax#its the execution of these traits in the LA that seem juvenile and jarring and OOC but lets not pretend like the guy youd find-#-on ao3 is better written or accurate to animanga zoro at all. the criticism itself is valid but from some zosan guys it sounds silly#youll notice casual or non shipper fans tend to rlly like LA Zoro and thats because fanon can truly TRULY be a disease#i’ve had this opinion of fanon zoro for a while but just seeing him pitted against opla zoro really brought back my unhappiness with him#if i had to pick between the two of them…

in all seriousness i do genuinely think that kyrie has much more potential as a character than just being “the normal one.” like idk idk but with everything she’s gone through it just feels a bit ?? to me for her to be characterized as like...the only normal one, absolutely normal, nothing to see here, with few struggles and is perfectly happy to be the emotional support for everyone else with no issue.
i think she has the potential to be much more interesting and just putting her down as “the normal one” really doesn’t do that potential justice. like personally i think kyrie should be allowed to be scared, angry, weird, exhausted, trying the best she can and having to choose kindness and finding strength in that compassion over and over again not bc i think she deserves to struggle but bc i think she deserves to be like. an actual person
#saint.txt#dmc#kyrie dmc#like i know canon doesn't really do kyrie any favors either and it's sorta just like.#easier. i guess. to just make her the normal one and nero's emotional support without delving too deep into it#especially since doing otherwise would actually need you to care abt kyrie which...yea#but kyrie being the normal one is boring to me. sorry.#not asking for anyone to care about kyrie but i just might#it helps to stop fanon depictions of nerokiri from falling into the trap of just being 'nero ft. kyrie'#like idgaf if nero deserves a normal boring gf this aint about him!!#anyway i think abt kyrie a lot#like even in fanon i wish she gets to be more than just nero's emotional support girlfriend or known to be like this pure walking saint#with few issues of her own that aren't really given much focus#and that's if she even gets to play a role and gets acknowledged at all#personally am a big fan of weirdgirl kyrie who also gets to be a bit of a little loser sometimes#bc honestly some people will portray her as being like...this effortless angel who is devoid of any other personality that it makes me#wonder why nero likes her at all#like yea fanon often treats kyrie better than canon does but is that really saying a lot

Theyre going to think I like canon and purely canon if I keep going on like this
#i. despite my many complaints. do enjoy comics. and going into the Comic Reading Fandom#there is a shocking amount of people who are purely in the fandom but have never interacted with the source#while i do believe its fine to dabble in something you haven't seen the source for yet but plan to#being a creating active presence in fandom for something youre not a fan of. just doesn't sit with me#its just a bit baffling. to be a fan of the fandom amd never touch the canon#like lifelong christians who attend every service and judge others based on gods word. who have never even read the full bible.#its just all the pastors word and stories n verses they grew up with#thats exactly how i see it I fear#fanon dynamics and tropes heavily overwhelm the canon. and i tend to prefer the canon. so it gets frustrating#not to mention how many popular ones completely flip characters. reinforce stereotypes. have even more confusing timelines. etc#its like the online fan equivalent of years of domestication and breeding that turned wolves to pugs#not that extreme but you get me#i mess with canon. i like to get silly with it. i like to fuck around#plenty of things i dont like i Will ignore or rewrite! or make an au where i can do whatever on earth i want#i dont respect canon or think its the end all be all and if you step one foot out of line of canon ill maul you like an angry dog#its just like! maybe read the one singular comic issue youre about base your entire interpretation on the fanon version of#this is ending in just me complaining about titans tower yeah. sorry. its the prime example i fear#but at least its easy to filter out#man! if i just had a way to filter things out better..#sometimes it reaches the point where i consider just blocking the entire tim tag. sorry tim#i Will uplift the community i desire instead of focusing on my hatred and complaining!!#i just need to get out of art block and find cool blogs to follow that Get Me to help me out first!!#unfortunately i have a really weird complex about following people especially if they followed me first!!!#not sure what thats about!!#but ill get to the other things!!!#i am also just a complainer though !#and i get into arguments alot without realizing it because i love noting every detail and correcting people!!#i tried to put every william mention and appearance from tse in a google doc. and with ralpho. thsoe got much easier when i got#digital copies of the fnaf books. but what im saying is i LOVE having all the facts n details abt my blorbos. esp in over detailed notes.fu#havijg all the references on hand! and sharing my precious beautiful knowledge. carefully noted bc my poor memory. very delightful. fun!

My SUPER SUPER petty fandom habit and confession:
I occasionally look at the statistic numbers on AO3 and Lofter of the MXTX main pairs and their other big main popular ship... and laugh at the pebble next to the mountain when I get particularly salty at fandom shippers.
#bad writing my ass lmao#this could have been better#funny that this isn't said when the most popular fandom queer ship is not actually queer or canon and fandom is praised for it's imagination#but when it is a canon queer happy couple from the author#and thematically well written#it's not enough or suddenly boring#and usually the character who is bicycled is twisted to make the fanon pair work#because in the actual work themselves they were around that otherperson#sometimes for years#and didn't have romantic interest despite the many opportunities

I got mad about how genuinely pretentious and condescending people on here about things that honestly don't even matter that much and so I went oh I know and I went to a mutual in law's blog because I KNOW they have the exact same views as me on them but they articulate them so much better and bam I got like six posts in a row of excellent compassionate measured responses to the very mean-spirited and meaninglessly cruel culture on here surrounding 'anti-intellectualism' and also calling people virgins in a derogatory way. like thanks! gotta jet
#man I wish our interests overlapped more *salutes*#breaking point was someone reposting a meme celebrating thinking of fanon hcs to flesh out an underdeveloped character#and commenting it like 'wow I know this was a YA or anime' like you're just being a dick at this point. who is this hurting#I would have agreed with the og meme! not every character is well developed due to various constraints or the role they have#sometimes you get attached to stories with shallow characters but you love it anyway and you wanna develop them#ppl thinking up new material for them and having a good time is not the Death of Art you all are so nasty to others#like I fail to see the appeal in mocking that and this is coming FROM a hater#but there are so many ppl on here that are so needlessly judgemental and smug and self-righteous about having Correct Media Literacy#and like...I'm not going to say anyone should stop bc im not the website police but you're all so mean#I don't even have a stake in most of this I just don't think it's worth it to be cruel to other ppl over and I don't like ppl acting better#than others bc it's not like being into literature or like. 'highbrow' media is a moral imperative/morally good. it's just what you're into#the world exists outside of literature and plenty of people with trashy tastes have strengths and skills you couldn't even imagine#and even if they don't! having bad taste or being a bit stupid about media isn't a moral failing!#a woman I work with reads the court of thorns books for fun and she is a kinder and better and more skilled and intelligent person#than I will ever be. she has a stressful and very high-impact job and it's how she relaxes. it's fine. it's fine#cor.txt

that pipeline of anti-intellectualism to the worst/most lukewarm political opinions on leftist politics. like actually maybe you guys should know a little bit about what you're talking about and then you won't sound so foolish or have to constantly reinvent theory & discourse that was already covered extensively in the 20th century
#so many people are just doing 2nd wave feminism and don't even know it because#when they say theory should be easily accessible what they mean is i refuse to seek out knowledge of the hard work done before me#and if i don't stumble across it in my day to day life then it doesn't exist#same thing with a lot of other leftist political topics. i see so many people going hey guys i think i cracked the case/connected something#new#especially when it comes to racial capitalism and the black radical tradition#like actually you're not saying anything new maybe you should read some cedric robinson walter rodney du bois angela davis fanon audre lord#like. it's better to have a common foundation to work from instead of constantly trying to reinvent the wheel!#and sometimes theory is tough to get through but that's why you discuss it with other people. it's important!#important things aren't always easily digestible & shouldn't be#black marxism for instance is dense but foundational!!!! as foundational as marx himself!!!#not that u guys have read marx either#anyway <3

I talk a lot about how different fanon!Helia is from canon!Helia but not enough but how bad it is for all the characters.
Like you have Riven going from this insecure teenage boy who lashes out at anyone who challenges him to this suave bad boy who could kill the winx. People seeing Stella as a stuck up brat, thinking that she loves Bloom more than the other winx, or that she would ever choose to be selfish in ways that hurt the other characters. Or Flora going from this fairly confident young girl who loves to meet new people and hangout with others to an introverted shy mess who never speaks up and would never say something sarcastic. Not to sound like a bitch but I really do think it's time the fandom stops pretending we're better than other fandoms and don't have Fanon Versions because we do and it's messing with y'alls perception of canon so fucking bad
#theres a time and place for fanon and its not pretending that fanon IS canon#and like listen#there's a big difference between having headcanons and fanonizing a character so badly that theyre basically a different character#im not saying its Bad to have headcanons or to disagree with canon#everyone does that its normal and healthy for fandoms#that sounded SO online good god#but also recognizing that your headcanons are Just headcanons is also necessary?#and recognizing that sometimes headcanons have been disproven by canon or aren't backed up at all#and not acting like your fanon version Is canon or is better than canon?#like genuinely think some of you dont even like canon winx and you just like the fanon versions of them in your head#like no sorry but flora isnt the fumbling shy mess who can't even speak to the others#stella isnt the dumb selfish princess who can't fight and wouldn't protect her friends#aisha isn't the Super Independent Woman who hates all men (also a very racist trope)#musa isnt that I Hate Everyone bitch who would dropkick the winx and physically abuse riven#i could go on and on like im sorry but the fanon versions of them are So Bad rn its so weird to me#like... fanon has always existed but i dont think its ever been this bad? usually Extreme Fanon only happened when someone hated a characte#like people usually only mischaracterize them when they Hate them but now im seeing people who Love them do it#i dont understand what happened why has fanon gotten so bad recently??#also Im Sorry if any of this sounds targeted or extra bitchy i promise im not talking about anyone specific and im not Trying to be mean#i just really hate going into a character tag and seeing post after post of people going 'riven would kill sky if he got the chance'#and i dont mean the clearly joke posts i mean the Very Genuine Headcanon posts like what the FUCK are you people talking about#i genuinely think some of you got your degrees from the fanon university instead of the canon uni#please rewatch the entire first three seasons at your earliest convenience or your degree will be revoked#ajhdglagd#like not to sound mean but i think there was an influx of people who only vaguely remembered the show and got the rest of their info#from random tumblr posts instead of yknow. the actual show#oh i am very complainy today time to do something more productive and less chronically online

(What would be the ‘incorrect but wildly popular’ interpretation of your character in fandom?) -For Prime Cherry.
META ASKS: If Your OC Was Canon.
Verse: Transformers Prime
This is actually based on vibe checks my friends did on her while she was still in her early stages, but Prime cherr would majorly sterotyped/interpreted as the "Girly girl" wildcard of the group I think, narrowed down to some of her Quote unquote main traits and how she compared to the other characters. She's sweet, she's a flirt, she's bad with a blaster, what else do people need to know?
She'd get "the pink one" treatment im afraid, atleast for a large portion of fans.
#FANON TO CANON | meme#asks.#hcs.#TFP (placeholder)#most cherr's but tfp cherr specifically are much better at close ranger/hand to hand fighting then long range shooting#since her blaster is on her injured arm#which tends to shake sometimes which throws off her aim.l
