Canon Characters vs OC vs x Reader

Disclaimer: This is just my two cents, and my perspective on things, and I'm not trying to lay down the law for everyone. I needed to just put this to words though, in order to sleep.

I was thinking about this because of a post I saw, and some, we'll say, kind of useless comments associated with the post. Mean-spirited stuff.

Normally, in one ear and out the other, but the vibes just kicked me off down a rabbit hole of sorts an I wanted to try to put some of my thoughts to words.

First, some style vibes:

Canon x Canon Canon/Canon stories are, to me, like reading an episode of that show. I'm sitting down in front of a TV or whatever, and I'm experiencing the story As A Viewer. I like this style because I don't really have to expend much energy and I just kind of roll with whatever's happening. Generally some sort of 3rd person perspective.

OC x canon OC/Canon stories are like being on a carnival ride. I'm sitting in a car on a roller-coaster, and maybe the OC is sitting next me. I'm experiencing the story more deeply than strictly canon stories, but my connection with the OC is no deeper than say, my connection with Katniss Everdeen when I read The Hunger Games. Sometimes 3rd person, sometimes first person.

Reader x canon Reader/Canon (or Reader x/ OC) is like putting on a VR helmet. I don't get much physical input about the "Reader OC" because I'm experiencing the story through their eyes. I don't expect the reader to be me, but there's a bigger feeling of immersion to be had. Some description might happen cause it's relevant to the story, and it's still a type of ride, I can't jump the rails on the roller coaster, after all. (Even with a VN you still follow the tracks). Sometimes first person, sometimes second person (I'm partial to 2nd person perspective, but that's just me).

I love Fan Fiction, I love it. All of it, and man even more than anything, what I love is that I'm going to dislike 80% of it. Because that 80% was written for someone who is not me. (Hell, that number's probably closer to 99% if we're looking at ALL fandoms, but I digress).

Second - The VENT:

What got me the most in the post that prompted this, was someone saying "Bring back the Mary Sue OCs!" and then they went on to describe something more detailed, and I just -

Look, respectfully, fuck you.

The point is, you're not going to be happy no matter what. Whether it's "mary sue" OCs, or x readers, or alternative universes, or a ship you don't like, you're going to find something to be unhappy about.

Cause people have been bitching about all styles of fan fiction since the first "You've Got Mail" chimed in 1991. And until 1998 and ff.net you really had to hunt for it, and until 2007 and Ao3 the idea of tagging a fic for any reason wasn't really a thing. Every click was a surprise! \o/

I just have seen the same song and dance a dozen times. It's exhausting. People become okay with OCs and decide x readers are the enemy, and before that OCs were *all* Mary Sues and cringe and people who made OCs were the enemy, and before OCs people who wrote even a little OOC were the enemy, and people who wrote AUs were the enemy, and you can write fan fic but it HAS to be Canon Compliant, and everyone MUST be in-character at all times - "They would not fucking say that" was the enemy.

Look, just please - please - in any capacity, stop it with the "All X style of story telling is crap" mindset. There's over a dozen different ways to do x readers alone. I know 20 x reader writers and I don't think any of us have the same style, preferences, or vibes.

I've had a lot of comments along the lines of "I thought I hated x readers, but I really loved this." on a few different fics I've written. Sometimes it's not the style of the fic, sometimes it's the style of the writer, and my Brother In Christ - you're going to have to read some awful shit to shuffle through the thousands of writers out there to find the vibes that resonate with you.

Ostracizing entire swathes of fan fic because you need something to be "The Enemy" so you can lift up something else, and then bitching you can't find anything new to read seems like a personal problem.

And I know y'all are scrolling by TONS of posts that don't interest you, every day, as a matter of course. So don't give me that "clogging up the tag" BS, because we deserve to be here same as anyone else in the fandom.

#quin grumbles #I'm so aggravated I don't even really know how to tag this #like almost 30 years of it I'm just so done #I just wonder what amazing stories we're not getting #cause of some fucker using Mary Sue to belittle someone #or someone beating someone else over the head with plot armor because their protag survived something terrible? #How many “Oh.” moments have been missed because someone criticized the very concept of reader insert? #I'm way past my usual bedtime so I'm just rambling at this point #and I am being meaner than I'd like #but JFC #I'm not going to let people's bullshit opinions stop me or anyone else from writing if I can avoid it. #Write what you want #gush about it #talk about it #TELL ME ABOUT IT #IDGAF if it's cringe or overpowered or broken or flawless or an OC or a reader with a name or WHATEVER #If it brings you joy #then do it #and if people are too mean to scroll by it when it's not their thing #and then complain like they're entitled to do so #block 'em. #and tell me who they are so I can block them too #then write more #cause I promise it'll bring someone else joy too

"remus was gay and sirius was bi in atyd" "no remus was bi and sirius was gay" "no they were both bi" "no they were both gay"

respectfully. can we please just call them both faggots and move on

#perhaps i just need 2. block the atyd tag lmao bc at this point every time i see ppl talk abt the fic i get annoyed #also perhaps brought this on myself by writing an atyd fic + like. reading the comments people leave #but jfc #if u actually are seriously debating abt what specifically we should be labeling the sexualities of fictional characters. well #i think ur missing the point #grumpy posting #txt

OK, it's been a while. Now it's apparently time for randos on this hellsite to get all snotty passive-aggressive over someone having the temerity to post something involving Nutella.

Gotta say, that is one that wasn't really on my radar for the day.

So, I went to the gynocologist for the first time about a month ago. the doctor was super nice, and i felt listened to. 10/10, great experience.

During the appointment, I brought up a concern that I may have PCOS. I have historically AWFUL cramps. I know everyone says that, but mine are genuinely debilitating. Naseua inducing. The kind of cramps that will wake me up from a dead sleep. Nothing wakes me up-- I am a HEAVY sleeper.

It's also a disgusting amount of blood. Like, I use super size tampons and still have to change them every two hours kind of heavy. AND it ALWAYS lasts a full seven days. My period is AWFUL.

So anyway, Dr. tells me its unlikely that i have pcos, but she wants to start me on birth control. I, being a mormon raised Lesbian, never considered trying birth control. what would be the point? but okay, ill trust the doctor.

she tells me there may be some spotting as i adjust to the birth control and it levels out my hormones.

A month passes, Im living my merry life when I notice some blood. "this must be the spotting", I thought.

it wasnt.

It was my period.

It only lasted for about 5 days. 5 days of minimal bleeding, some discomfort, and bloating.

what the fuck.

i. feel. CHEATED.

Moral of the story: If you have super awful periods, ask about birth control.

#birth control #period cramps #menstruation #I know my hormones are still adjusting #and i probably will still experience some changes in my cycle #but jfc #do most people really just have their period as like #a minor annoyance?

Some Less-Known Encanto Word of God

So I’m casually checking Encanto’s TV Tropes page because it’s always a good time, but then I got to Word of God and stumbled across this, uh, detail:

In this podcast, Jared Bush points out that due to the heartbreak and fear that Alma experienced at the riverside after seeing her husband murdered, once she learned of Bruno's powers, she would have found it impossible to resist pressuring him to frequently look into the future for threats and dangers to the Encanto. Thus, the observations that have been made about Bruno having a depressed attitude which led to him seeing bad futures is wrong. It's the opposite, pressure on Bruno to always look for the worst the future has to offer is what left him with a stressed, forlorn attitude. Sadly, Bruno is probably the first casualty of Alma's unresolved grief and fear.

Which. Um. Sure is some information!!! What, and I cannot stress this enough, the FUCK, Alma??? Like I can totally see and have read - and written! - fic where this happens but holy Christ on a crutch.

ME/CFS number and word swapping can be funny but it's mostly obnoxious. I have to read everything 3 times because I say shit like "pictures with posts get more notes" and call McDonald's Walmart and the reverse for like 2 months no matter how many times I'm corrected or how hard I try not to.

Yesterday I told my mom I needed a bandaid for my hair. I meant hair tie. I had to try to describe a fabric coated rubber band you tie ponytails with and could not do it in time before she had to hang up and go back to work.

This morning I dated an important thing a year from yesterday.

Sure SSA. I can totally hold down a job and not be an embarrassment or a liability. Not.

Seriously, can someone explain to me what the hell happened while I was away because I'm so goddamned confused.
