#tangential fandoms

[kasienda]

@steelblaidd - yes! For a whole second nursing session!! :)

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

Previously answered here.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

Umm... I tried, but it didn't come out all that funny imo.

I did pull off a humorous story in Sailor Moon, but it's not to the level of crack.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Previously answered here, but here's a second take.

If Alya could give me a lot of things that I need, I think I could give Kagami a lot of things that she needs. Someone who can listen, loves the bluntness, lots of patience, cooing over her art, just acceptance for exactly who she is, and we can geek out over manga together and how stupid everyone else is over boys!

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

There's a lot of adorable friendships in this fandom. The characters are just so human and wholesome. And the development of the miracu-class is one of the neatest things. Like watch origins or dark cupid and you can see they pick on each other, don't get involved, have their own cliques, etc. And then fast forward to like Guilt Trip. And they're just THERE for each other. There's adorable group hugs and love it any time they have a party of the Couffaine boat. I just love them as a community that grew into a really tight knit group.

The friendship I get most excited to see developed is still Adrien&Nino though, followed closely by Alya&Marinette and the four of them in general. And I also love the chaos of Marinette&Kagami.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

I don't know about die to defend, but here's a few.

I hate the Luka & Juleka sibling retcon making them twins. I very much want them to be half siblings because their mom is into flings and not stable relationships. That moment when Juleka was filming Luka crying over his break up with Marinette, and doing nothing to make him feel better??? CLASSIC younger sibling!! LOVE IT!! Give it to me.

Similarly, with the huge spread of age differences in Alya's siblings, I need some of them to be step or half siblings. I headcanon Nora as a Alya's step sibling, and the twins as Alya's half siblings. I figure Nora is the daughter of her dad's second wife, and the siblings are the product of her mother's second husband.

I very much see Adrien as asexual or demisexual, especially when his love/attraction/admiration for Ladybug is contrasted with Marinette drooling over an ad. Haha! He could also be autistic, but he also doesn't necessarily have to be, but I enjoy reading autistic Adrien a lot.

Hardly unique to my head, but Marinette definitely reads as ADHD.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

More than a few!

Fandoms that I am a fan of, but do not consider myself to have ever been IN the fandom and often love to see running across my dash and will even read fic for: ATLA, SpyxFamily, The Owl House, Dragon Prince, Good Omens, Harry Potter, Zelda - BotW

Fandoms that I have consumed at least some of the source material, but haven't been able to get into, but still often enjoy seeing art and reading discourse for: SheRa, Star Wars, Korra, Voltron, FF7, Batman, Superman, Invader Zim, Steven Universe

Fandoms that I am ONLY familiar with BECAUSE of tumblr: Dracula, Bat Fam, Julie and the Phantoms, Supernatural

I'm sure there are others in each category that I'm missing, especially that last one as I don't always remember the name of those ones.

This was fun ya'll! Thank you for all the asks!

[dwarven-beard-spores]

everyone can have their own headcanons that are fun to them etc. etc. and the gomens tv show characters are not the same as their book counterparts, and it is entirely reasonable to extrapolate from the canon given in the show etc. etc.

HOWEVER, since gos2 did NOT in fact give crowley a snack, I do feel the need to tap the sign:

TAP TAP

BOOK!SNAKE THINKS EATING A HEAVY MEAL AND HAVING A NAP ABOUT IT IS ONE OF THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD

If this must be reconciled with him eating nothing in the tv show, might I suggest snakeish preference of large and infrequent meals and little to nothing in between, or any other interpretation of your choosing

I just think this is important to keep in mind, thank you for your time

#gos2 #good omens season 2 spoilers #ish #listen I haven't the stamina to get involved beyond my tiny little corner of extensive headcanons and a very exclusive collection of people #I am only tangentially in the fandom rn anyway #but this is the one hill I will perish on

observe the specimen

ok to be serious for one sec, someone on FFSH has uncovered storyboards for ep1 of krbay and uh. Meta was. uncharacteristically long in there. like, had a whole body to him.

#kirby #kirby fandom #krbay #tangentially related but w/e #memes #it's kinda cursed but also kinda adorable idk what to think

[alfhildr-the-word-weaver]

I lowkey want one of those "live laugh love" type house signs that says "come freely, go safely, and leave something of the happiness you bring" for the entryway of my house someday. I think it'd be hilarious, but it's also lowkey a nice greeting in its own way, if perhaps mildly ominous... What a nice way to set a welcoming vibe! ;)

#I'm kind of joking but also kind of not #like whenever I manage to get myself a house I could totally paint a little sign like that #it'd be so fun seeing who got the reference too #definitely putting it on the 'projects to do when I finally obtain a dwelling' list #(I have been trying to move out but it is not cheap... it's a whole thing) #but yeah can you tell I'm behind on Drac Daily again? #I'm listening to the podcast one this year but I'm not even as caught up as I was last year #granted I have more other stuff going on and I didn't really set keeping up as a goal this time around #some day I will finally get through all of Dracula... maybe later this year.

[fromtheseventhhell]

I've noticed that Stansas take criticisms towards themselves as "hate" towards Sansa, they're really never beating the self-insert allegations 😭

#anti sansa stans #/why do people hate Sansa so much/ about a post that's talking about how stansas act in fandom oh they're so delusional #also the amount of times I've been told my blog is full of Sansa hate but I've only ever talked about her stans lol #but are we actually surprised about that? all they know how to do is play the victim so acknowledging the terrible behavior #on their side is out of the question...it's everybody else who has the problem clearly 🙄 #also really annoying how we're expected to tip-toe around Sansa and never criticize anything even tangentially related to her #or else we have to be called delusional and misogynistic by her stans #good thing I stopped caring about being nice and fair in this fandom I WILL be saying what I want and they can cry about it 🫶🏾

[oplishin]

grGRSH rollins vs reigns 2022 is genuinely my favorite match (which does say more about how new i am to wrestling more than anything else, disregard that) because the storytelling in it is just SO unbelievably good

obviously, seth coming out to the shield theme and shield attire. god what a piece of shit, i love his stupid smile the whole time. he knows what he's doing and he loves it

him powerbombing Roman into the table

him offering the shield salute to Roman while literally unable to get to his feet

him SAYING "i'll always love you" reads as such a. desperate attempt at manipulation that just ends up showing so much more of his hand. and it's especially good after Roman told him he hated him in a prior promo grRRH

again obviously, the ending: with roman literally refusing to let seth out of the guillotine while saying that it's seth that won't let him go because roman has never been the one seth felt like he needed to apologize to, he's the one that's never been able to process and heal and move on

roman hitting seth with the chair; the way seth falls onto the ropes in the exact same way roman did 8 years ago

the way roman leaves, but then COMES BACK TO HIT SETH AGAIN LIKE HE JUST CAN'T HELP HIMSELF. like he was trying to be the controlled leader of his family but the idea of finally punishing seth for all those years of bottled up hatred was too enticing

roman's smile afterwards. yeah.

#yes shield fandom has talked this match to death but. yeah i want to also #everytime seth even tangentially mentions roman my brain explodes and i remember this entire match #seth rollins #roman reigns #wwe #rolleigns #i fucking love rolleigns its so terrible #jeta posting

honestly um ,. one part of me understands why those posts were made but, are these poser incest enthusiasts in the room with us now

#jcdrgcy #like where do you get these people from and are you sure they're real and it's not a misunderstanding #i do think it still doesn't get you clout and just because now a community exists in a form it didn't 3-4 years ago*‚ this doesn't make it #mainstream ahaha #*: this is just according to my observations like i'm sure there were communities at all times on the internet‚ somewhere‚ #of various sizes‚ many different ones of them‚ i meant the circle of 20smth mutuals we have now which isn't a circle because some bloggers #are just tangentially related or just in one fandom and it's debatable if it could even be called a community #i just know i didn't have so many friends who agreed with me and accepted me a few years ago and now a lot of us interact regularly #but i don't see how.. dead dove or grooming or necro or even the genuinely gothic or tragic would be. becoming cooler? #🤔 #idk enlighten me about what all of this means if you can and you want to #kata.txt

Another poll because I'm on fire

#tangentially #musicals #theatre #kronprinz rudolf #elisabeth das musical #i find it interesting how fandom perceptions have shifted over time. at one point there was a lot of 'omg terrible person' #i'm not gonna reveal my opinion but yall probably know XDDD

[the-one-who-lambs]

Me: I don't know if my ideas are worth sharing, I'm losing engagement from my readerbase these past few months so I must be doing something wrong, I don't think I've really accomplished anything as a writer.

Some person in my AO3 comments hyped as FUCK for the Risen Lamb/Fallen God rewrite:

#hannah's rambles #negative kinda #I've been really feeling down about nearly everything i make lately and it's bothering me a lot #There was this not quite-well-meaning anon I got a few months ago that seemed to compliment me on the surface #But seemed very backhanded #Basically informing me “oh youre basically the most popular writer in the fandom. here are some ways im going to compare you to others” #and i tangentially kinda knew how readers viewed me as a good/semipopular writer but i just ignored it #because i primarily do it for fun #but it made me realize what readers actually do consider in works when theyre looking for a fic they want #and i feel like i've peaked already in a lot of ways #ugh #sorry for kvetching at yall but i feel like y'all deserve to know part of why im just not writing as much lately #sometimes i try to hype myself up so i can still feel like anything of mine is worth reading or writing in the first place #but it's not working anymore

[sunneinsplendor]

I’ll admit, it’s been a hot second since I’ve been anything resembling active in the Black Sails fandom but after seeing the “omg *that* poll has everyone being so mean in the tags” I felt the inclination to go look at it...... .........Yeah. Y’all saying folks are being mean in the tags need to get a better gauge for what ‘mean’ is because none of those comments are spicier than vanilla milk. This poll is to fandom wars what a stubbed toe is to a severed leg. Also, op? You putting “I predict slaughter in the tags” was a self-fulfilling prophecy, take the thwack in the face from the Apollo dodgeball and move on.

#black sails #ofmd (tangentially) #I'll put on the fandom old pants for this but y'all don't know what infighting actually is if you think this is a THING #this is an inconvenience at worst and hilarious at best #and honestly I have appreciated the chuckle I have gotten out of it

YOU'RE READING TKM??? 🫶 is this your first time reading aftg!!! what do you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry i'm so. excited. to hear this)

skjfjd i devoured the entire series in 2015 (or 16? maybe early 2016) and when i learned that the sunshine court had been published – on its publication date!! how did i miss that before!!! – i was like hold on i NEED to read them all again so now i’m nearing the end of the king’s men and already can’t wait for the sunshine court!!! honestly these books should not be up my alley (not a huge sports person, don’t usually enjoy reading about too much violence) and never should’ve been but i feel catapulted right back to 2016 and my love for the foxes

#i was only very tangentially in the fandom and i haven’t really consumed any of the bonus content #but i’m ready to read about jean (and jeremy i hear??) #he’s about to make his appearance in tkm anytime now iirc #they’re already at the cabin #anyway i’m excited for the new book #ask #jeremyknoxs

[bioluminescent-fungus]

every time I switch between writing fic (gazing longingly at a bullet-point outline) and writing my thesis (actually putting words on the page) I think a little bit about the crossover AU that lives in my head. the problem is that this crossover AU, the footnotes AU if you will, would be less "let's put these characters into anglo-saxon england" and more "let's translate the plot of this story into something that the beowulf poet would understand" which is different and probably entirely indigestible to a modern readership. but in my head it exists fully formed and I am very fond of it.

#and you know this isn't tolkien based because i know the tolkien fandom would eat this up and ask for seconds #anyway i am not writing this because i have the actual thesis to write and that is eating my brain #anglo-saxon england is actually tangential to my thesis but nevertheless #it works better than my actual topic no matter how much i point at my blorbo and go 'it's him!! draig ffawd ffyst gychwyned!!'

[istherewifiinhell]

okayyyy also. tagged by @joelletwo for 5 topics i could talk about for an hour with no prep.

now. two things. 1. i have infernal podcast dude energy and could say a lot about nothing. weird trait to have if u dont like talking to people? hard to say. 2. GESTURES AT BLOG. im ALREADY. talking at length abt my beloved shit. so im just ruling out turtles, alien robots, trek, etcetcetc all the shit thats been a main blog topic for the last past. 4 years?

I'm gonna say.... western voice actors? not that i could really. Give a lecture so much as. I'm way more familiar with them that than I am live action actors. And I'm kinda just CONSTANTLY like. Oh you know so and so from every cartoon youve ever fucking seen? And FEEL a real. gap. with people when they dont have a same reference point. probably like how ppl feel with me when i dont know their acting guys jhadbgjfga. Like u can name 5 VAs from ur childhood cartoons/animated movies right? And personal interest like, hey btw u know like the entire cast of tng was in disneys gargoyles? U know keith david can SING? And diego luna? Hey you know about Canadian actors who are in all the dubs and video games and yeah cheap shit? You know Scott McNeil right? You know Ian James Corlett? You know. THE IAN. of being Ian. Hello. is this thing still on?

I really like and care about the topics of education, children's rights and pedagogy? Not academically so much as, personal interest. What seeing very clearly that there was a lot of arbitrary rules that involved things like. The Government. and Systems. as a child does to a motherfucker I guess? I'm always INTERESTED in a discussion about it, is how i mean I guess. Like focuses of multiple intelligence and "applied knowledge" (and short comings there of). I mean long and short of it. Kids are full human beings and until u can grapple with that their feelings and opinions um. Actually matter. I hate you? jdhbgjhdb. And Naturally the world being good for kids has the prerequisite of it not sucking ass for adults too....

UHhhh guh. User design/civil engineering? You'll hear it from me until the day I die, crushed under the tires of a ford f1 giga truck with the LED 20million watt bulbs. PROTECTED BIKE LANES. for the love of god. I just know a lot of designers I guess and like engineering, conceptually. But like, u know that famous bridge everyone crashes into. If theres 80million warning signs and people are still crashing... maybe theres. other factors. Or you know ofc like, traffic planning, vehicle accidents, structural disasters. A lot of them are not just. Things happening. Tragedies. There's politics there. Usually a lot of Money stuff. and structural racism. The real reason your fridge is full is that there's a bunch of half empty condiment jars hiding all your forgotten left overs. And widening the roads isnt gonna do shit for traffic.

Jackass entry: Themes and motifs of anyyytthing ive watched with another person or saw, and like they also know it. I realllly like, visual theming and narrative shorthands. Anything that breaks like, maybe people in this setting dont have the same customs, but their gonna do something so you the audience can recognize it. Non literal/accurate use of colour and lighting, for mood and clarity. Breaking the physical shape and scale of things so they can appear and be readable on screen. COSTUMING COSTUMING COSTUMING. A well styled character can do soooo much for your understanding of a work, especially with large casts, and a poorly styled one can take me right out. Well. anyway. yes i love animation u all knew that.

uhhhhh Thatgamecompany/giantsquids studio. im giving myself a free space. lol technically I DO. blog about this. the music. at least. BUT beloved. games. Me and everyone else I guess. Hey speaking of u know its laura bailey and troy baker as the voices in the pathless? And you know how a lot of the games have themes of coming into being/growing/rebirth. And LOTS of environmentalism. And implied cultural world building, and wordless stories. and beautiful metaphor rich otherworldly visuals. and gameplay styles that really connect with the emotional story their going for. and ofc, the music. oh the leit motifs. well. there u go. sword of the sea when?

tagginggg. uh did anyone get @deadgrantaires or @army-of-bee-assassins yet? anyone elseeee who wants to regale me with things they knowww about. id love to know.

#some shit #KINDA. gave up. cause i hampered myself with the restriction not my fandoms. jadgbdhf BUT YALL ALREADY KNOWWWWW i could take u thru #my fav mirage issues or like. my favourite implications of tf stuff. #like. all the things i like to watch and like. this is a story about familys. or rebellion. or why people care about each other. #why its important to keep living. and everything iver ever blogged about. lmao #i also skipped on things like. cool machinery i like or how products are WORSE now days. even tho. djjhdbfj. if i have to talk to a #less known person i would consider those like. safety topics. dgjhdf #if u wanted to be really vague i could to a tangential daisy chain all themed around the colour blue. ofc.

[fairmoephelia]

i think it’s important to understand that isaac is simultaneously much weirder and much more normal than the rest of the coterie thinks and they will never once get it right. rey thinks isaac is about to start cutting off his own limbs? he just wants to make sure serif is armed for the fight, that’s all. the group thinks he might be vulnerable as he uses his new powers? he’s fine, he’ll just be extending his bones into blades. these conversations happen minutes apart. incredible

#this also relates tangentially to my belief that some of the things isaac is doing that people are confused abt #can be explained by him having a higher humanity than the fandom as a whole has assumed #like i think we all get wrapped up in the tzimisce fleshcrafter human furniture stereotype and forget he’s very young #violence and threats don’t seem to phase him much but that is probably due his time spent with the gang possibly from a pretty young age #being used to it doesn’t necessarily mean he enjoys it or seeks it out #at least not more than the rest of the coterie or young kindred in general #(ofc to be fair this could also go the opposite direction and hint at something much darker like him keeping the coterie around for plots) #i put a whole meta down here damn #new york by night #ny by night #nybn #isaac brooke
