Fandom vs Canon

I think it's also something that I feel like isn't talked about enough: The fanfiction characters are no longer the show characters. How do I word this where it makes sense... Basically, Sterek was so prevalent in the fandom and became such a big thing that it took on a life of it's own. Just like, in my opinion, at some point some ships aren't even saying it could happen in canon and they don't even care about canon anymore and all that matters is these 2 characters that I love falling in love with each other. This is shown really well with crossover fics where someone has these wildly different fandoms that they mesh together simply because of their love for 2 characters. (For example, I used to be really into HP rare pair crossover fics, the more obscure the better, and I saw an HP x Transformers fic. Harry Potter and *Transformers.* Like, some people just want to watch their favs interact even if that would makes no sense in canon).

I think Sterek is a case where 2 characters that fans really love happened to be in the same show, thus making it the biggest ship to come out of the fandom. It's not about if the show was queerbaiting us, or if fans were reading too much into scenes- or at least it's not only about that. It's about the love fans had for Stiles and Derek separately and their dynamic together and their want for them both to have a happy ending so why not together? Basically, to quote an AO3 tag, "I took canon out back and shot it" and any variation of that sentiment.

  This isn't even just a Sterek thing. Other wildly popular non-canon ships like JohnLock and Destiel have also, like I said of Sterek, taken on a life of their own. They have become almost this sub-fandom or even a completely separate fandom from their source material. And I just think that's something to think about when judging ships and their fandoms because are you judging their canon relationship or are you judging their sometimes entirely different fandom created relationship?

「30歳の童貞に片想いすると魔法使いになれるらしい」 (from cherry magic volume 11 special edition) — english translation

#cherry magic #my translation #finally. after months i got to read this at last !!!!!!! i can be at peace now #also gonna do a little t/n in the tags bc i wanna clarify one little bit #the term '苦手' comes up a bunch here and it can mean either 'not being good at smth' or 'disliking/hating smth' #and from my understanding when used for people it can mean either 'not knowing how to get along with someone' or 'disliking/hating someone' #so on page 1 kurosawa uses 苦手 to say that the other guy doesnt like him #and on page 4 adachi uses 苦手 too which kurosawa misinterprets bc he doesnt have all the context #bc adachi means that he doesnt really know how to interact with guys like kurosawa but kurosawa hears it as 'i dont like his type of ppl' #(which gets cleared up later anyway thank god . tho it did give us a funnie panel) #i couldnt find any word in english that worked with the same sort of double meaning as 苦手 so i tried phrasing it in a way- #-that would have that same sort of 'this can be easily misinterpreted' vibe . dunno if it worked but i tried kjfkds

hi i made a tier list of how homophobic rezero characters are

hello in the spirit of valentine's day and the very welcoming community here on rezero tumblr i decided to make this with the help of my lovely mutuals.

#anyway heres some fun little explanations if youd like to read: #otto has. so much internalized shit going on i dont even know where to begin. not as severe as like subaru fr and def not in the same way a #whatevers happening with ferris but like by the time u get to arc 8 hes a total shitshow LJSLDKF #like ottos. transphobic. canonically. with natsumi schwartz. and then hes def got More going on bc his attachment style is soo.... #wilhelm and heinkel i think would def be homophobic outside of reinhard/reinhard related things but its funnier to describe it like that ok #and either way the main target of their homophobia is gonna be reinhard LMAO #oni elders suck ok. theyd all be homophobic #rams got a strong case of comphet rn but when she doesnt have comphet shes chillin with subarus gf and having wlw mlm hostility with subaru #and otto. the entire judges your taste tier is all insane teen girls or frufoo and patrasche (who DEFINITELY judge otto and subarus taste) #frufoo patrasche are like that one reddit post about that one guys dog being homophobic after seeing their owner get topped in gay sex #also als in that tier bc al. #alcor is technically subaru but he gets to be a tier lower than subaru bc. hes also not technically subaru its very complicated but #at least he doesnt have the entire boy drama subaru has LSJDF #reids iconic line is the ones where he calls julisuba boyfriends u know. its extremely iconic. #a dear mutual of mine has informed me tivey is in lol ok while his triplet siblings wouldnt know what being gay is which LKJDSLFSD thats #fucking funny i had to do it #id argue satella is in lol ok bc she lets subaru do almost anything ok. this includes being terribly into men. she knows shes got his heart #either way. and also elsa dont care unless it affects how ur guts taste #rems reaction is gonna be lol ok unless its subaru coming out to her. then shes gonna have some Mixed Feelings #rezero #re:zero #i forgot to add but u could def argue garf knows what being gay is bc his two older brothers are just Like That #but also neither of his brothers would be caught dead explaining what being gay is to him

AHHHHHH

#this post brought to you by: me #i. applied for a preapproval letter for a mortgage yesterday. and spoke to a realtor to start finding me houses #i want to move several states away which further complicated things. but the houses there are CHEAP #like under 100k for a 2 bedroom move in ready #anyways i got approved for 80k with a 20k down payment. and im FREAKING THE FUCK OUT #and because i got that pre app letter i have a loan officer calling me today to talk #and we literally work at the same bank so i can SEE that hes active and hasnt read my message #even though its been 45 minutes. KEVIN MESSAGE ME BACK. IM NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO FOCUS UNTIL I DO THIS CALL #AHHHHHHH S C R E A M. it might happening!!!! i might be finally.mov8ng out in a few months!!! #i mgiht be a HOMEOWNER by the end of the year #i have been saving money for this since i was. 16? 17? #ive had a good well paying job since i was 18. #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #once i have a house then i start job searching in that area. and start getting really serious about LEAVING my very good job #which is soooo scary. this job was supposed to be my lifelong career. but then everyone fucking moved to other states and left me behind #so theres no point staying here. #i might never have this kind of job security again. #but also my realtor said that theres a lot of bank jobs in that area so maybe itll be easy to find something #on the fence on if i tell my parents that im Making Moves right now #on one hand its hard to not talk about it becuae im STRESSED TF OUT #but on the other hand when i tentatively mentioned the state i want to move to #richard started yelling and swearing el oh el #might be better to wait and avoid the tension as long as possible? #but also i dont know how they can stay angry when its literally my best option #the other places where my friends live either have 0 opportunity and high housing prices. or are even moe liberal than where im going #idk. why do half of my problems come down to “my parents will be mad” like im a 12 year old or something. shit fucking sucks #this is why i want to get out of here #also it feels weird and bad to talk to my friends about how stressed i am about buying a house when all of them are stressed about #not being able to make rent or something. my problems feel like a brag in a really odd and shitty way. but hey! #if this works out maybe ill start being stressed about how im going to make my mortgage payments! :') yay!

THE GRAMMAR GUEST SITUATION THING?? IM GOING INSANE

They. They said nothing of value WHAT. Way of making someone who has dyslexia anxious and worried about something they made for their own enjoyment I guess???

Yeah ???? I mean, if they're having fun??? Yippee???

Fr though, what 😭😭😭s??? I'm just tryna have fun leave me alone ... I cannot be the only one they've done this too as well

Like notice how they ask me not to tell the to 'stfu' and after I thanked them they got kinda surprised?? Who.. who else are you doing this too.

For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about !

Please note that while I was trying to be polite I was actively screaming into my pillow from discomfort. Also wow (Me) Guest really tore into them. I do agree with them tho, I did want to jump into a pool of acid

#holly answers #cozones beloved hellhole #cozone... im losing my mind over here #i havnt screenshotted the new comment but like.. all they did was. say it was interesting at least???? even if??? thsy dont like the ship??? #just dont read it if you dont like the ship??? i prommy im not gonna be mad !!! dont like!! dont engage!!!!!!! #literally the number one rule!!! of the internet!!! holy sjit! #anyway i feel like im going insane . help. #the irony is not lost on me either like. oh my goddess. #this is the one time i go out of my way to say HEY!!

𝚆𝙴𝙻𝙻, 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚅𝙴𝚁𝙳𝙸𝙲𝚃'𝚂 𝙸𝙽: as a lot of you may know by know [ if you've caught any of my previous posts about it ], i'm moving with my parents back to california from texas -- where i've been for about 30 years -- because overall? it'll be good for me. i'm sick of texas for the most part, i literally can't afford to live on my own [ and honestly? i like being near my parents and would just have more security and better quality of life in CA ], and i just think sometimes a change is good!

i've been waiting to see if my job will let me keep my job [ and continue to pay me dirt, even! ] ... all i was asking is that i can live in california and work remote. well, the owner has decided he will not allow me to do that. is there a good reason? in my opinion: no. he's framing it [ in his conservative white man rich business owner brain ] that I'M the one making the choice to move because i could apparently just as easily stay in texas and get my own place etc etc etc. so it's on me! unfortunately, it's just not that simple, but i guess from a guy who runs a family business and has multiple homes, it's just hard to really grasp that concept.

i'm literally so furious and so heartbroken at the same time. i know it's not the best company, and yeah i guess, we can say this is for the best in the end? but that doesn't make it hurt less. i've been there for almost 11 fucking years. my ENTIRE career out of college. through ups and downs, i was always working my ass off and being a great employee ... shining reviews and reputation with literally everyone. it just hurts that that ultimately means nothing when i'm finally asking for something in return. i take the poverty wages, take the working in the office when i hate it for the most part, i've taken having to hear misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, every-phobic thing over the years ... then i ask for ONE thing in 11 years [ that's literally not even a big ask ] and it's a ✨no✨.

i feel so lost. like i don't even know how to be without this job, and as much as people tell me YOU'RE SO TALENTED! YOU'RE SO GREAT! YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING SOOOO MUCH BETTER! i wanna believe it, but my brain just ... doesn't. maybe it's imposter syndrome or just how fucking down on myself i feel right now. i still appreciate it because i literally don't know what i would do without my friends and family's support right now like ... even if i can't see it for myself, it means the literal world to me.

plus sides [ i guess ]: i should be able to keep my laptop [ but i'll lose adobe cc so ... i may need some recs or help on how to at least get photoshop cause idk how i'll carry on without it lmao ]; my manager who is a literal saint and one of the best people i know [ she actually pissed the owner off going to the mat for me lmao "he doesn't like to be questioned" ... insert the biggest eye-roll of my life ] ... but she said she would help me with literally everything from linkedin to my resume to a portfolio, and i know that'll be like everything to me while i just .... try to navigate all of this ON TOP OF trying to move.

ALSO: i think i can work until i leave, if that's what i want to do ... i'm still trying to figure all of this out because honestly? even though it's not much? i need the money. but then i'm also like i don't wanna do the owner any favors by having me work while they maybe start putting out feelers to replace me, yknow? BUT THEN AGAIN, i'm hurting my boss more than him [ and that's the twisted, frustrated thing about all of this ... it hurts us way more than it does anything to him but he still gets to make the choice for us ]. SO! i dunno! i may just use all my PTO and see how far that gets me lmao but i feel like at the end of the day, i have to look out for myself and maybe just trying to pull in as many paychecks as i can [ since we also don't have a hard 'we're moving!' date at the moment ] is the best idea ... even if the idea of going into the office and acting normal like literally makes me so ... 😤 but i dunno! my brain is a mess! afjhksdfda

SO YEAH. i just wanted to update you guys because i do consider you friends. whether we talk a little or a lot, i appreciate all of you so much and just wanted to keep folks in the loop with where my life and my head's at right now. not the best but ... just trying to keep it moving. honestly nooooo clue when writing is gonna happen here again??? i do miss / enjoy the distraction of plotting and talking about all this stuff so don't be shy, i just don't know when i'll have the time or capacity to just write here [ maybe once we move and stuff settles a little bit? ] -- but yeah, in the meantime, please come chat with me, let's plot dynamics and all that shit because it still makes me so happy and lets me take my mind on a little vacation lmao love you all, truly! ❤️

#** reblogging on some of my blogs to pass it around but! applies across the board: you can find most of my blogs in my pinned post here! ** #been on and off crying since like 4PM yesterday so it's been a ride lemme tell ya! #nothing like feeling like you wasted over a decade of your life at a job that never really cared about you #like MY boss does but stupidly she doesn't get to make all the decisions for HER own team #even though the owner is barely present and doesn't really know anything about us or the day to day so ... very cool of him #to make big decisions that can hurt a lot of people (and don't affect him one bit either way) #he just really doesn't seem to give a shit at all that it makes our lives so much harder for NO reason #it's just that he literally doesn't “like” remote working and doesn't want to set some kind of company-wide precedent #even tho i'm like moving isn't THAT easy lmao people aren't all just gonna mass exodus out my guy #(also we have a C-level employee who lives / works from new york but ... apparently that's SUUUUPER different because she lived there when #she was hired ........ *stares into camera*) #anyway!!! i'm just really frustrated and hurt and fucking terrified #and i appreciate literally anyone who bothered to read all this! lmao #i'll be around on mobile as per usual ❤️❤️❤️ #00. // OUT OF AMMO ( OOC POST. )

So here's our favorite bastard peacock of a man.

The one.

The only.

Jarlaxle Baenre. As a soft, snuggly plush doll.

...he actually looks a lot better in person, but the lighting in my room sucks this late in the day, so I'm gonna be taking him out for new & better pictures sometime this week. I'll take him, Jarlaxle, and Raistlin out on a little field trip to the park or something.

As you can see, I had him sharing the star blanket with Valas <3

The mushroom print did end up being too big after all, so it's hard to actually tell what he's wearing, but I just wanted to get him done in time to snuggle with me when I start Promise of the Witch-King. Eventually I plan on making a ton more clothes for him.

I also made Raistlin! I actually finished him last week but didn't want to post him until I found my jewelry set so I could make his moon necklace - still haven't found it, but I couldn't resist getting them both in the same picture.

#felted dragon shop #Jarlaxle Baenre #Raistlin Majere #Valas Hune #legend of drizzt #I still need to do some refining on Jarlaxle #I want to trim his ears a bit more and just add some little touch-ups here and there #but he's at least in good enough shape to be my emotional support drow as I re-read Sellswords so that's enough for now #fun fact: that's my cat's ass in the right-hand corner in that fourth pic with him and Valas #she just absolutely wanted to be part of the show one way or another and could not leave Valas alone for more than 2 seconds #I guess she's his personal Guen #at least she didn't steal his kukris this time #BECAUSE I HID THEM FROM HER #there will be no more water-based trauma for this boy not on my watch #raistlin's eyes were difficult to design when I realized he has hourglass shaped pupils and that doesn't exactly work with my #cartoony style... I think I did okay all things considered #he still hates everyone either way especially me for making him cute so mission accomplished #btw Jarlaxle's hat was ALSO a pain in the ass to make because of the way I design my dolls :/ #so I'm gonna be working on that design more this one is just the prototype #I couldn't justify making him without it even if it sucked

Does anyone else hate writing the beginning of fics??

Like I know where I want the story to go, sometimes I even know where I want it to start, but trying to figure out how to open it?? Introduce the scene??

I just feel this pressure that it needs to have a good hook (thanks school-essay writing for that one) that HAS to catch the attention RIGHT away.

Maybe this is just me but it's my least favourite part of writing ;-;

#waterfalltalks #not snz #just complaining <3 #sometimes!! i do know what i want!! #but most of the time im just sitting there like... uh... these characters are in a situation... i guess... #reading other fics all you people start them SO well #but i always feel like im either doing WAY too much or not enough #anyways im just complaining over here feel free to ignore this hahaha~ #just ~writing burn out things~ #i use the word anyways too much in my tags ive just noticed that #id say i'll use it less but i know i wont <3 im a roomba brain person <3 #im always jumping from one thought to another to another to anoth- #ANYWAYS (sadjiolgkm) I will end this little vent session here~ apologies hahaha~ #gonna start a trend where people send in intros and then you build a story to finish it #easy solution~ (im kidding... exceptmaybeI'mnot guess we'll see-)
