catra is like. the type of person who sees and understands all the social patterns and hierarchies, but can't interact properly herself

while adora is the type of person who interacts well with others but is somewhat oblivious to the social patterns, hierarchies and harm (until they're made obvious to her)

The idea for Medic's first name being Herbert is probably based on Herbert West but I'm still sold on Eberhard because for other people, it sounds really funny to English speakers and fits the TF2 vibe that way. More importantly to me, though, after Schoener because 1) Medic has been "stock German" for too long with references to all sorts of cities and regions and an inconsistent accent, neither of which reflect the city he's from 2) I think it would be fun to highlight the musical motif which was very strongly ingrained into Medic in the late 2000s-early 2010s and everyone at Valve forgot about 3) It adds to Medic's whole thing of seeming way older than he's implied to be.

hl1 Barney supremacy. Send post.

ANON YOU GET ME I NEED TO SQUEEZE HIM LIKE THIS

I know I said this a lot but the low def Barney model follows such a niche character design that I just adore so much that when I saw him in hl2 I was like "... No. That's not the same character what are you talking about?"

I think hl2 Barney is fine if he was his own character and not Barney. Listen I'm an old man enjoyer, I'd love hl2 Barney regardless just cuz his raven greying hair and charisma but HL1 BARNEY SUPREMACY!!

I seriously need to work on my own design for him that follows his hl1 model. I said I would after I finished playing hl2 (which I did.) so maybe tomorrow c:

Gyjo in the fandom

cw: light discussion of ableism

Gyjo… what am I thinking about gyjo…

I like them. I like them a lot, actually. They have paralleled narrative arcs, they complement each other nicely, the romantic subtext is incredibly obvious to the point that even the most homophobic fan you know will admit they understand why people ship it… so why do I also have a problem with it?

There’s a lot of good fanart. Hell, I’ve reblogged plenty. Maybe it’s just something that’s more pronounced in fic.

I’m trying to word this correctly. My issue with gyjo has nothing to do with the text itself. I think my problem is just how people portray it in the fandom.

Maybe it’s because it’s so popular, or maybe it’s the sheer prominence of applying ‘Character A’ and ‘Character B’ dynamics without considerable regard for the characters involved, but I feel gyjo is very prone to flanderization. I believe the intersection with how ableist people are toward Johnny (intentionally or not, subtly or not) and the old tropes these two get shoved into makes it so I have trouble enjoying fics in the fandom.

I’m not saying it’s bad to enjoy certain tropes. I’m not saying headcanons are bad either. What I am saying is that writing is hard, but if you’re going to write fanfiction please have consideration for the characters you’re writing. The arcs of these two are complex and multilayered, which is why I think they have such staying power, but I also think they also provide a good opportunity for us as writers and artists to examine our biases when it comes to the portrayal of certain groups, personality types, mental illnesses, queerness, disability, etc. and maybe come out better people for it.

"Found out" set in kind of a made-up chapter where the girls are in trouble, or something.

[trashcreatyre]

I think the main thing that pisses me off about like 90% of mephiles ships is that people will be like "how old is he??" Look that fanwiki says that he's ten and they RUN with it. Like they don't read further. I'm so convinced that most people don't even know the plot of 06 bc the shit I've seen people draw and write with the characters is just mind boggling.

little rich boy sirius who gets disowned and can barely survive without his expensive brands and the basic human need to eat at least once a day meeting the entirely too generous james potter who just falls for the vanity and sincerity of the reformed rich boy and decides that once sirius stops caring about brands and status and rich boy things and just cares about what matters in life he decides to spoil his boyfriend to pieces because he’s secretly sitting on a fucking fortune
