The Things Frank Plays - s0ckpupp3t canon divergence, sex work, open relationship
In an AU where MCR can’t keep a good rhythm guitarist, Gerard gets incredibly twitchy and hard to deal with when he’s on tour (and therefore not getting laid). Luckily, Gerard’s wife is smarter than he is, and gets him a present named Frank.

currents.34/2023
selections from my week in media [20-26 august 2023]
[reading]
Licurici by louisfake - HP Charlie/Harry/Draco future fic - reread
The Massacre of the Yiling Burial Grounds by scifigeek14 - MDZS au-canon div - sad with a hopeful ending
[watching]
Connect - I've been saving this one and it did not disappoint. I loved it and only had to look away from the gore/body horror once or twice. LOL But it's only six episodes long with a big old cliffhanger at the end, so I'm hoping they'll make a season two.
Hidden Agenda - This show gets better every week. Zo is amazing for that last scene. Poor Joke. LOL
Jun & Jun - A Tutor/Yim cameo? In my kdrama? Loved it.
Kiseki: Dear to Me - So far, a solid execution of the 'forced cohabitation leads to romance' trope. I laughed at "spicy food as torture device." Inspired.
Only Friends - Boston has leveled up in terrible. I think I spotted the name of the show twice (maybe three times), which amused me. I still don't understand the appeal of silent discos. And what kind of player doesn't have a ready excuse for when a former hookup interrupts a date?!
Wedding Plan - I didn't expect quite this much emotional depth (Lom crying in bed hurt to watch) and it makes me wish this was what the show was actually focused on. If they'd moved up Lom coming clean to like episode 3, they could have explored the effect that the marriage plan was having on both Lom and Yiwa. Really get into the emotional toll it was taking on Lom and explore Yiwa's determination to go through with it. The situation has so much dramatically angsty potential and they squandered it.

And it’s not just the number. He’s old. Bobby Singer’s words have never rung truer, and that man has said plenty of wise things in his life. “Old age is both - forgetting things like a drunk, and hurting all over like you’re sober.” It’s ridiculous. Dean won’t vouch for having had a brilliant brain before, but he didn’t used to forget why he went into the next room, he’s quite sure. And, oh lord, his bones. His joints creak when he sits, and he wishes he’d given older hunters less shit for it when they’d all been whining in chorus about their goddamn hips. He gets sick easy too - Sam, the ever smart-ass says his immunity is as trash as the meals he’d have when he was thirty. So, there. He’s old, and he’s grey, and he’s slow, and he’s grumpy.

Favorite tropes? =D
I'll answer for anyone who didn't see:
While I enjoy post canon/ Canon div the most for Inukag, I also love aus ♥
I think my favorite is fake dating, one bed, caught in a storm, lost and found...

For the Author questions: 19, 12, and 9!
19. Who is the easiest/hardest character for you to write about? Why? actually probably TK from 9-1-1 Lone Star. Haven’t published anything ive written for TK yet but our personal histories are very similar? So either I found his voice really easily or I just projected my personal brand of bullshit onto him but I guess that’s what fanfiction can be sometimes lol stay tuned for that TK character study that may never see the light of day cause it got a bit #personal
12. Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to? oh god so many. maybe ~there was only one bed~ ?? but i think for 911 specifically a high school au or college au would be really fun and interesting. trying to decide what these folks, who we’ve only ever seen as grown-ass adults, wouldve been like as youngins
9. Do you prefer to write AUs, canon divergence, or canon-compliant fic? probably canon comp. that turns canon div when the fic inevitably ends up jossed lol. my favorite fics to read are canon div or canon comp. especially fix it fics omg *chef kiss* teen wolf fix it fics? yes give me 1000 fuck me up

B1, C4, D10 from the ask reader thingy
B1. Which one’s better for reading fic: FFN, AO3, or tumblr? Why?
I think I personally prefer FFN or Tumblr. Tumblr because a lot of people post here but not on FFN. As a reader I find FFN the most friendly, interface wise. AO3 I am not that big of a fan of, namely because the rating system seems confusing to me, and the tagging system, or the free-for-all for genres and tropes...it just makes it difficult to navigate, even within a fandom.
C4. What thing that fandom loves do you actually kind of hate? Why?
Well, I think hate is too strong of a word. But what I don’t like, there are a couple of things.
1) Most AUs. Even when I know the writer and have liked their non-AU fics, AU just isn’t my cup of tea. I just can’t identify or sympathise with the characters if the surroundings or backgrounds are very different. It’s when you’ve got to know the characters and you love them, for me it is no longer the same if the dynamics or surroundings are very different. Canon divergent, on the otherhand..yes please. But I guess deep down, fanfics are canon div, more or less.
2) With the exception of Bethany, I would have to say Jeller with kids. I guess this goes along the same lines as the AU. I do want Jeller to have a happy ever after, and I can live with an end of the show reveal that Jane is pregnant. But in the context of the show and given the job they have and the dangers they face, nope....and having them quit the FBI is just veering too far from how we know them.
D10. What is one story idea you really want to read but no one has written yet?
You do realize you asked this question from a whumper, don’t you😁?
Joking aside, it’s not so much of a story idea than a trope I guess. It’s that situation where things have gone to hell, someone has held Jane captive for days/ maybe even weeks, and when they finally find her, she broken and in pain (despite what canon has you think, just shrugging off days, not to mention months,of torture is unrealistic). She’s afraid to let anyone near her even physically, except for Kurt. She knows that the one person in this world who she is safe with, is him.
Now before you banish me, allow me to explain. Jane is such a badass, invincible character in canon (both of Jeller are), that I just love those fics where you explore that other side of her. What is beneath that armor, or the bravado? What happens when she’s vulnerable or scared and how does she overcome that.

The holidays can definitely be a bit stressful, I hope you are also feeling good. Those were some excellent choices there, you pick some of my favourites as well. That kiss is the best first kiss in tv history. What are you plans for the holidays? Do you prefer to read canon stories or au? Any preference on tropes? -🎅
Hey there! Absolutely AU. I'm not a fan of canon div stories really. I like my Killian Jones with two hands 😉 as for tropes, let me think...I enjoy all the old classics really. Neighbours to lovers/secret dating/fake dating/bed sharing but above all I enjoy angst, so make it hurt, Santa, make it hurt 😉
(obviously if you do not Ike angst, don't write it!! This is supposed to be fun and non stressful and honestly I will flail and reblog the shit out of anything anyone gifts me)

Oumasai with every number?
WElp. I knew this was coming at some point. Come to think of it I think I’ve done this meme before for oumasai like the whole thing. is it cheap if I just copy paste my answers. eh I’ll see if anything’s different. under the cut!
1. If you had to change the pairing’s very first meeting, how would you change it?
Neither Kiibo nor Akamatsu are there and it’s just a 1 on 1 clash of personalities. Saihara tries prying at Ouma for information and details but Ouma keeps lying and prodding at him for fun. It sets up the rivalry really well and the themes of the game by having them come into direct conflict like this. Also I just feel like we should start with Saihara as the protagonist since Akamatsu as a protagonist gives us nothing except a bait and switch. Like anything else she does could easily be done as an assistant. 
2. What song fits your pairing the most?
I’m not good at this sorry. No idea.
3. What is your favorite AU/prompt idea/trope for your pairing?
uhhh right now its the band au I thought of but generally speaking I really like mutual pining and two person love triangles, and Ouma really makes it easy to give me a two-person love triangle, although this ship can do that in other ways. Phantom thief is really good for both of those things but I have since expanded my horizons to More Creative versions of the same two tropes. I just think it suits them.
4. Do you prefer canon ideas or do you have your own headcanons for them?
This is like a weird question because aren’t all headcanons in some essence based on canon. like even headcanons for an au setting are still using characterization from canon in some way. But like I generally like aus more than I like canon fics for v3 because v3 is just....hoo boy. But like all my headcanons and fics are based on analysis I did of canon and what canon told me these characters would be like. So.
5. Favorite canon moment of them?
So my definition of canon might be super picky to some people but it’s basically “content you can’t skip” meaning no ftes, bonus dialogue, etc. So for me that’s...probably right now it’s that bit at the end of chapter 5 where Saihara calls Ouma a friend despite literally everything it makes me sentimental. but I’m also a sucker for the ch4 “when I find someone I like” scene. 
6. Least favorite canon moment of them?
This hasn’t changed but it’s still the fuckin “You’re alone and you always will be” line. It’s not in character and it's narratively redundant and ineffective. More on that here.
7. Favorite headcanon trope/idea? (Your own or someone else’s)
the band au I have in mind. I really wanna write it right now but I feel bad because I still have prompts, even though right now I have no prompt ideas and the prospect of them is exhausting. but LISTEN. the band au is gonna be really good I swear.
8. Least favorite headcanon trope/idea? 
Excluding pre-game, which isn’t actually real and if you believe pre-game was a real thing in the way shirogane presented it, you have been duped, as well as other fujoshi fan favourites uh...any trope or au that involves ouma being a killer in some way. Like if they put him in the position of killer in a way that doesn’t really justify it based on his canon characterization I just don’t care. It’s cheap writing just for angst and dark vibes.
9. Favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics?
Honestly I’m here for the entire dynamic. I’m a real sucker for characters that are foils that encourage growth and development in the other through one way or another. I honestly wrote about this much better in other posts, including the one I linked to, and its one in the morning, but yeah. I really just like what canon provided me as a whole, and I love how they play off each other by representing the opposite of what the other stands for down to their cores.
10. Least favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics? (Can be headcannon)
pre-game isn’t fucking real it is a LIE by shirogane stop talking about it. Actually kinda like in my komahina answer, I feel like ouma’s character arc was really well resolved, and like way better than Komaeda’s, but I feel like his arc as an antagonist with conflict wasn’t. He was just killed off and then Shirogane came in with her 100000 lies for chapter 6 and derailed everything in Kodaka’s attempt to be clever. “See I’m showcasing the themes by having everything shirogane says be a mix of truth and lies, and be saying something thematically different, because I’m being really clever and lying about the themes at the last second.” it’s dumb.
Unfortunately unlike with Komaeda there’s no easy way to fix this without trashing Kodaka’s chapter 6 as a whole, which also means throwing out everything that was building up to it because its the core of the game. I’d like for there to be a version of v3 where Ouma is truly confronted with him being wrong instead of it just kinda happening offscreen in an implied manner and never talked about again.
Saihara’s monologue in the epilogue has like a compromise of both their views, which I actually think is a good one and a thematic resolution to his character arc as well as the game, but it really kinda sucks the character that represents the other half of that didn’t get to see or realize that in his own right. It’s kinda lopsided. 
11. If they aren’t a canon pairing, how would you get them together?
Ya kinda can’t in canon because of everything you’d need some serious canon div and even then it would be a post canon slow burn. Because they both would have to get past their issues in canon and only then can they really get closer and be together.
12. If you had to take them and plunk them into another fandom, what fandom would that be? Why?
last time I went with ace attorney, and i’m probably not gonna top that au I invented on the fly, but my ideal au for any given series is “how can I make this higurashi.” the answer is higurashi. one day I’ll finish writing that ask about it.
13. How hard is it write/draw your pairing? Scale of 1-10.
eh it’s not very hard I’d go with like a 2-3.
14. Is there a pairing that you think rivals them?
For me, not really. It’s the most compelling dynamic written in dr as a whole, and I have a lot of fun exploring other ships, especially wlw ones, but this one is still canonically the most interesting.
15. Which character of the pairing do you like more? (Would you ever pair yourself with them?)
It flips but rn Saihara
16. Which character of your pairing would be the one to break up with the other? Why?
Ouma because he’s the kinda dipshit who’d bottle up his emotions and then decide instead of talking about anything he’s worried about he’ll just break up but he won't mean it. and it’ll be really messy but I think Saihar’s intuitive enough to be able to push through that.
17. Are they relatable as characters or as a pairing?
See my last remark reminds me very much of my own literal actual relationship so I’m gonna say pairing.
18. Did you once/ever dislike one/both of them?
I didn’t like Ouma before the game came out because everyone else loved him for no reason. I changed my mind. I always liked Saihara though.
19. On an estimate, how many posts have you made about them?
idk. 100? maybe?
20. What made you decide to ship them?
Canon gave me a lot of material but I was in the moment I knew Ouma was canonically gay for Saihara, which I learned like before everything else.
21. Favorite genre for them? (Angst, fluff, etc.)
I like fluff man. I’m a fluff guy. I’ll take some angst but I need happy endings.

Riffing off your last anon's ask, are there tropes for one fandom or pairing that you love reading but absolutely will not touch with a ten foot pole for another fandom/pairing? Or ones that you share in all fandoms/pairings?
I went from Drarry to an anime fandom and don't really do high school / muggle AU's at all with Drarry but I kid you not I've been devouring college AU's like no tomorrow in this anime fandom! And with Drarry I'm all about enemies to lovers (and that oh moment), but in this other fandom I'm nose deep in best friends to lovers (which is a slightly different oh moment) lol. And I'm a sucker for A/B/O and hurt/comfort and soulmates in both fandoms! The more you know, huh? :)
I like noticing patterns, so I thought this might be a fun question!
Hey anon, thanks for the ask and I’m sorry for the late reply! What an interesting question. I’d say hurt/comfort is my oldest and longest love in fic. But the angst I’ve been into these days is less hardcore than it used to be, as I’m moving towards wistful, evocative flangst. I also tend to prefer canon divergent future fics over AUs or canon rewrites - I’ve read a few here and there in other fandoms, but I’m so fascinated by the wizarding world still that I don’t feel the urge to explore other scenarios, you know? Never say never with fic though, that’s my motto! 😂
Tbh I feel so lucky because with Drarry I finally get to choose my preferred tropes to read; the fanfic pool never ends since this is such a huge ship. Smaller fandoms don’t share the same privilege and sometimes you gotta work with what you have! That being said, I have read and enjoyed some tropes that aren’t my usual jam like bonding, sex pollen and BDSM - while MCD and infidelity, for example, are themes that never interested me much in any fandom.
I love that you’ve mentioned the iconic “oh” moment because I’ve always been drawn to enemies to lovers, but in the past two years I’ve had a very different yet amazing experience in another fandom; curiously it was the first time I shipped 2 characters incredibly attached and loyal to each other. Their dynamics couldn’t be more different than Drarry’s and yet I enjoyed pretty much the same tropes: h/c, canon div, identity porn, case fics... and being friends to lovers the characters faced other kinds of conflict (like age difference and power dynamics) which I personally found very refreshing! The only difference is that I was sold on AUs pretty quickly lol. Thanks for the ask! ❤️
