V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandomsCommunity - Jeff/ShirleyDisney - Lumiere/CogsworthAdventure Time - Marceline/Bubblegum
Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Hannibal! I really wanna get into all of these! Particularly the first two.
X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEMLorne (Angel), Sansa and Brienne (ASoIaF) (actually pretty much any female character in ASoIaF, they all get their share of undeserved, irrational hate piled on them, buuuut these two are my most precious girls), Dean Pelton (Community), Armin (Attack on Titan), Bowser (Super Mario) (Everybody. Shut up. Listen. No. Shhh. Quiet. Everybody. Bowser is the best.), Remus (Harry Potter), Steve and Peggy (MCU), Woody (Toy Story), that’s 10 so I’d better stop there hahaha.
Edit: Aaaand it has been brought to my attention that I answered X instead of Z. God damn it. I will fix this lmao.
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)Boo, you didn’t give me a prompt. Um. Well I get really passionate about how legit fanfiction is and how authors etc. should not really be able to stop fans from writing it. Like, this is not a legal issue, nothing is being taken from you, something is being given to you, this is the world responding to something you gave to it. This is how it should be, how it has always been, people want to take part in a thing that they love. It doesn’t steal anything from the original work, it doesn’t change it. It’s sometimes an expression of love for the original text, sometimes a way of filling in gaps that the canon didn’t and never will, sometimes it’s something else, but it’s a conversation. And it started hundreds and thousands of years ago. People who don’t respect fanfiction need to GTFO because it is more, so much more, than practice for “real writing” or drivel scribbled down by people who will never be good enough to get published, it’s a whole world and every shade exists there. Fanfiction can make things happen that we’ll never get to see if we leave it up to the money-makers and it shows how important media is to fans. I’ll leave it there, I just care about fanfiction a lot god damn it. Yes, even crack, even pwp, all of it, it all has something to say.
