#headcanons and fanons are free and wild

Alright, it’s time to talk about Lycion and dysmorphia and being a trans allegory
Because… yeah, I think a lot of people can really relate to being scared of mirrors because you hate everything you see in them, and going to extreme lengths to get a body you love
It’s not a complicated allegory
But, and I think this is pretty important and possibly more useful to the trans community than declaring him ours and trans… dysmorphia and dysphoria are not exclusive to trans people
They’re not even particularly related to any part of the body; it can be any part of it
And like 15 years ago when I was learning about trans issues and shit, I went and did a little research, because I eat knowledge. And y’know what fully settled any questions I had?
Found a case about a lady with what is currently being called body integrity/identity disorder, which is basically dysmorphia so severe that people have otherwise healthy limbs amputated to be able to live life in a body they can stand
This lady got both legs fully amputated, got a wheelchair, and became a pillar of her community where before she was almost bed bound
And y’know what, if that’s a thing that can happen and we can all agree that removing her legs was integral to her health, y’know what seems completely trivial by comparison?
Every gender affirming surgery ever
And y’know what is even more trivial?
All the other transition measures that have nothing to do with surgery, like hormones, puberty blockers, and social transitioning
Being trans has become a super political idea for basically no reason whatsoever, but it’s harder to maintain that ideology if you learn about things like dysphoria and dysmorphia as just medical conditions that absolutely anyone can get, and then look at what that means for gender dysphoria
Cuz if peoples’ brains can decide an entire limb has Got To Go then yeah, they’re probably also capable of deciding “that pronoun is Wrong” and we can take that just as seriously; it’s a much easier fix and also free
Basically I’m saying Lycion is our gateway drug cuz if you can understand this elf hates his body so hard he became a werewolf about it, are you really gonna throw a fit over someone getting a packer?
None of this to say you can’t or shouldn’t headcanon him as trans (and unless it comes directly and unambiguously from Ryoko Kui it’s a headcanon, nothing wrong with that it’s what fanon is for)
Just, y’know. Sound folks out on him without mentioning that part right away for your own safety and possibly entertainment 😁👉👉
Oh and super important: he’s not canonically cis either. Pretty sure it was just never specified. Enjoy and apply this knowledge across every character ever whose assigned birth gender isn’t brought up in canon
The thing Lycion definitely is in canon is a goddamn furry and an otherkin allegory, and arrested for awoo crimes. He’s one of only 5 characters in the Adventurer’s Bible with a stated gender (the others being Otta, Kaka, Kiki, and Inutade - everyone else has pronouns but no gendered nouns in English at least)
(Lycion’s “definitely a man” - or “definitely male” in the official translation, which technically excludes him from the gendered committee altogether)
You are, of course, welcome to disregard canon in all things you do - I personally encourage it, it’s much more fun to play in the space and do your own thing, and Dunmeshi has deliciously efficient story telling; there is so much empty space to play in
#delicious in dungeon#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi spoilers#lycion#lycion dungeon meshi#trans thoughts#body dysmorphia#gender dysphoria#dysphoria#dysmorphia#everyone’s all about trans headcanons but when you mention theirs is just a cis headcanon… 👀#canon is limited and a suggestion at best#headcanons and fanons are free and wild#my personal headcanon is that lycion absolutely will not have sex in elf shape cuz he hates it#you’re not obligated to join me but are welcome nonetheless 😏#yeah this means he does need to text a guard every time but so does fleki when she gets high and familiars#and that’s canon that she does it#so i just think he would#and mithrun’s not gonna say no#but it’s funnier if he texts pattadol and plays his dysmorphia card and just doesn’t say why he wants to change#anyway hi i am super normal and totally a great person to have in your fandom who will not go super deep on wild tangents#definitely not making knotting jokes in the background shhhhh#i personally am devoid of gender but y’all that have one or more seem to like em

lavender (fanfic)
pairing: Marik Ishtar/Zigfried von Schroeder
rating: T
warnings: discussions of kink (including breath play, rope, impact play, and dominant/sub roles), references to marik's abuse
expanding my yugioh relationship web, and i learned that the ship name for marik/zigfried is lavendershipping, which i adore. i wrote this as a kind of experiment, especially since i haven't written marik very much until now. still working on my headcanons and fanonizing ray but i liked this enough to share it.
....
He brings you lavender, no matter what you do to him.
Flowers decorate his halls, his clothes, his garden. The rose is his emblem, and he wears it with pride. Pink as the color of his hair, as the rosy highlight of his cheeks, of his lips as they open and gasp. The sun shines on him like a garden flower, and he blooms in its light. You like to take his love of beauty and make it ugly. Bruises turn purple then ugly yellow, you rain gold on him in humiliation, and those pink lips turn puffy and red. Roses blemish his skin with each strike, and thorns tear ribbons through his palms. In the beautiful halls of his home, with the rich dark wood, and the gold decorating the walls, and the brocades of delicate patterns, you make him ugly.
You are a creature of darkness, of dirt and pain. You were entombed before you were even born. Like a ghoul, your fingers scratched at the stone that held you beneath the earth and clawed your fingers to the bone to be free. There is a rage inside you. Your skin is tattooed against your will, scarred and mutilated to appease someone else’s vision. Some days it is too tight, and you imagine peeling the skin from your muscles until you are blood and bone.
From the moment of your birth your destiny was written in your own blood and branded to your skin so you may never forget. You were a creature lowlier than dirt, never meant to see the sun. Your whole life, you have felt like a slave. He makes you feel like a king.
You are cruel to him, you know that. Your hands make their way to his skin, pale and fragile like a porcelain doll’s, and with only a touch it blooms in pinks and reds. You lay lashes against his skin until blood wells to the surface. You hold his throat tight and watch his mouth gasp for air. Ropes leave burns on his thighs, and the tender meat on his back is decorated with bruises in the shape of your hands. Every time you leave him, he is feeble, emasculated, unable to even cry for all the emotions you’ve wrung out of him. Every time you abandon him and know you have left him ugly, abused, and he should run from you. Everyone should run from you.
And the next day he brings you lavender, because it matches the color of your eyes.
He calls you beautiful. He calls you master. He threads his fingers through the white blond of your hair and smiles as you close a fist around his throat. He says hurt me, begs for it, until his mouth encircles you and you ensure he can speak no more. When you slap him, his eyes fill with stars that you were never allowed to see beneath the soil. When daylight touches him, it shows the ugly marks you’ve left behind, and he revels in how beautiful he finds them. He says he is your canvas, that you are an artist. You tell him to leave and he begs for you to stay. He finds you, crawling on hands and knees, crying for you to take him. You are forced to oblige. A king must tend to his subjects.
And now your life is full of flowers. He brings bouquets, his own roses, but others as well. Gardenias are for secrets, he tells you as he buttons his shirt over this bruised back. Hibiscus is for delicate beauty, like the shape of your eyes, and the curve of your hip. Lily-of-the-valley represent tears, and he holds them to his face so you can see the way they drop from his eyes so beautifully. It’s the wild roses he likes to add, both pain and pleasure at the same time. Lavender, he tells you, is for peace, as though you ever bring him that, but he tells you too it is for devotion. You watch him tut and fuddle and place the bouquets in the perfect spot so the sunlight reaches them. You wait for them to die and rot so you can shatter the pretty vases against the ground, but he never lets them. He is diligent with it. He removes the old ones without you even seeing. They are always fresh, they are always lovely, and they always mean something.
You have rarely known devotion. Those that serve you do so because they want to touch your power, and the only person who has ever taken on your pain has done so out of want of what you have. Now, every night, every hour if you wished it, there is someone who wants your pain, not because you are first born son, not because of your lineage, but because that pain brings him pleasure. He has everything. You sleep in his mansion, on his silk sheets, touching the luxurious fabrics he offers to buy for you, with stables and gardens and a legacy built on power, not servitude. He gives it all up to you. He wants it to be yours.
You linger longer. You draw baths with rose petals on the surface. You wash his skin and apply balm to his wounds. He thanks you. He says this is what love should feel like.
This is how love has always felt to you. It is a thing of cruelty, but this is the first time you have felt that that’s okay. That to say someone deserves it is not a punishment. It is a blessing. It is freedom. And your rage and your anger, that is freedom too, not to be scared of, but to accept and use. Your hands, with filth and blood beneath the nails, are not weapons. Not anymore than he wants them to be.
You sleep in his bed, breathing in the smell of lavender.

House of Finarfin pet headcanons
Finrod: We all know he had snakes. Its the number 1# headcanon going around on silm tumblr lately. It's fanon at this point. I agree to this headcanon and I have nothing else to say except FINROD WITH GIGANTIC YELLOW PYTHON MY BELOVED.
Galadriel: Doriath's most popular pet songbirds. She loved to keep canaries and finches as pets. The feanorians were pissed because she didnt even try to set her birds free, although finches and canaries were native in Doriath and most birds were not bred but caught from the wild and then kept in cages. This was considered unorthudox later on and was banned during the long peace. Also, birds are considered tame and not dangerous in elven society, but every bird owner knows they're fucking maniacs and will try to make your life hell, which kind of reminds me of Galadriel. Looks harmeless from the outside (to elves, not to hobbits or men), but is completely unhinged on the inside. In Valinor she didn't keep any pets of her own, but sometimes she tended after her brother's snake.
Angrod: Didn't keep any pets and thought them quite useless. Loved horses tho. Especially those the Feanorians stole from them :) ...
Aegnor: rabbit/bunny person. Had four bunnies/rabbits in Valinor, but he didn't brought them with him to Beleriand. Also had two chinchillas in Valinor, but only because he was royalty. Chinchillas were normally not kept as pets in Valinor, but the Valar allowed it because of him being partly vanyarin (line of Indis favouritism). Earwen took care of them while he was away. Loved horses like his brother. Was quite upset when the feanorians took them.
Bonus: Finrod's pets in Nargothrond
Finrod of course didn't take his python with him over the ice. Reptiles needed a warm enviroment to survive and the ice was freezing cold. He didn't keep any pets until the making of Nargothrond. The men of Beor kept many dogs, but they didn't gave him any of their dogs or puppies. When Curufin joined in Nargothrond, he brought his cats with him, which was quite a surprise. Cats were not often kept in elven society. There are two options what happens when someone does something rather unusual or new: 1. Discrimination and opression and 2. it becomes a trend. Both options are not moral ways to look at change. In this case, it was the latter. In only the span of several months almost everyone in Nargothrond owned a cat, thanks to Curufin Feanor Junior 2.0, who inherited the skills of his father in convincing large crowds of people to do exactly what he tells them to do. Curufin and Feanor would have been great influencers and politicians in real life, methinks. Now Finrod, Curufin's self-diagnosed rival, did not approve this, mostly because it gave Curufin more political power and this was his kingdom and not Curufin's. If anyone is a trendsetter in Nargothrond, it's the high king Finrod Felagund and not Feanor Jr. So what did King Dunglalef do? He tried to set a trend too. Tried.
It ended in a disaster.
Mr. Eldest Son Of Finarfin was the elv who bred the first Welsh Corgi. A round of applause for Findarato here. There are two ways a trend can end: 1. It dies, but it had an significant impact and 2. It dies, but it had no significant impact whatsoever and the trend only lasted, for like, a week or something. In this case, it was the latter. At first, the whole plan worked. The people went on from Curufin's cat trend to Finrod's welsh corgi trend. At this point, Curufin's cat trend lasted for about two years, which was quite a long time for a trend to live. Cats were not looked down upon anymore and much, much more people owned a cat and cared for it then before. Finrod Felanop, of course, hoped his welsh corgies would spread the same way and their popularity would rise. This worked at first. However, people were still affected by the cat trend and a lot of people genuinely did not like welsh corgies, so the welsh corgi hype lasted for about two months and then died down.
If you need real life comparison, It was kind of like goncharov and zepotha, for example. Or the rainbow flag and the straight flag. Or the Fall Guys hype, the Wellerman hype and the World's smallest violin hype.
So yeah, Finrod is a terrible trendsetter and the Welsh Corgi pet trend was terrible. He did own Welsh Corgies, tho. Men loved them, dwarves found them lame.

Nunny! I'm sending you asks for your game.
I'm tempted to send you the entire post and just see the Nunny Rant. You might not even do She-ra. I'm thinking of She-ra sending these but go off about star wars or something else if you think it applies better to the question :D
the character everyone gets wrong (ahahhahahaaaaaaaaa)
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about (im sure there is a long list)
9 and 10 - Worst part of fanon and worst part of canon (imo there is some overlap)
13. worst blorboficiation
14. that one thing you see in fics all the time
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
lakhglkajfas, I think my rant would mostly just be keyboard smashes and crying emojis so this is the better way to go lol!
the character everyone gets wrong
God, like, fucking- ALL of them. :) Buuuuuut the one that's bugging me the most recently is Mermista.
I am SO sick of post canon Mermista in c/a fics specifically. Mermista would not hold a grudge that hard that long and that violently!!! Stop having her hate Catra and actively be out to do harm to her. Mermista's response to losing her kingdom was like a bad breakup where she just cried in a tub eating ice cream. Her response to seeing HORDAK at the end of the series was just a, "So are we good with him now?" implying that she's chill to be chill.
Mermista and Catra 100% would sit at a table calling one another a bitch (begrudgingly fond and pretend to not be) back and forth. Mermista would not be out to skin Catra alive! Mermista wants to talk to Catra about her murder novels because Perfuma reads too slowly and doesn't like spoilers but she NEEDS to talk to someone about the butler who has a brain cell because Sea Hawk seemed to miss the whole first half of the book AND FURTHER MORE-
9. and 10. - Worst part of fanon and worst part of canon
Worst part of fanon is the fucking shippers. This went from one of the more open and accepting fandoms for all ships that I'd ever been in to one of the worst.
Like, straight up, one of the fics that lives rent free in my head is an explicit fic where Catra and Hordak enthusiastically consent to having sex. Like Hordak is trying to be kinda standoffish but can't stop looking at boob window tits, he was Entrapta trained I'm afraid. The number of times I think of his awkward proposing they do it more frequently followed shortly by Catra dressing and winking saying, "Seriously, great cock!" is a lot lol. It's such a porn movie style fic and there is something fantastic to be said about it.
But you even hint that Catra could be headcanonned as anything besides a lesbian and your body will be found in a few months time in several different bags. Suggesting Catra and Hordak having any romantic or sexual relationship probably gets you reported to the fucking government or something. So there's a reason it's never made a rec list from me but fuck it I'm mentioning it now.
They aren't real. If I want to occasionally have a giggle about them and make my little dolls bump uglies everyone else should politely not look while my fellow weirdly sane people who get that this is all make believe but sure we're the freaks here come poke and enjoy!
Fucking shipping wars and discourse man. I'm sick of it.
Worst part of canon for me is the censorship and uncertainty that caused various issues with the plot and prevented the show from being even stronger. You can see it in real time while watching, but man it was wild in December 2018 to see how professional media talked about the show and Catra and Adora being adoptive sisters, to AJ (I think?) getting dumped on for repeating that idea and having to apologize, to the open gayness at the end. I love SPOP, but the rocky terrain the crew-ra had to navigate really did impact the quality and created weird gaps that asshole fans hunkered down into. Like, we cannot pry some of those fuckers out.
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
I need you to understand that my immediate response when I started writing this answer out was a very strained and painful sigh through my nose as my brain returned a static white noise sound.
I am really tired of forcing this jock!Adora and slacker!Catra thing. Like, it started in modern AUs but it's gone and infected people's idea of canon as well. It falls into a bit of the "dumb adora" trope, which people just don't seem to actually understand what that means or is about. It also falls into Shadow Weaver's narrative of who Catra is which is wild. Like. Really wild.
You are telling me Catra, a cat person who grew up in a military, is actively against exercise? Yes, she would 100% sleep in a sunbeam for a nap, and then she wakes up and craves some low key chaos and violence.
You are telling me Adora, forced into a golden child and leadership position, is bad at reading and math and science because all she cares about is training? Adora 100% enjoys physical fitness and using her body, but she's got a sharp mind on her and there's no way in hell she doesn't like to work it too.
I am just exhausted with it in modern AUs, and now it has gone to infect canon interpretations. It flattens their characters out, ignores/denies parts of their abuse, and nukes their abilities from orbit. I hate it so so much.
Also if I have to see one more fic or art piece where Catra is willingly and happily wearing dresses, skirts, and heels I swear to fucking god I will KILL. :)
13. worst blorboficiation
Again, this is all of them. Everyone suffers from being blorbo'd to an insane degree, but it just shifts depending on which character is the favorite of that part of the fandom. You have talked several times about the insanity of Catra fans vs. Hordak fans, the blorboification is insane there. Same with Catra fans vs. Glimmer fans.
Like. God damn. I'm so glad the Adora vs. Catra fan fights died out real quick because this fandom is exhausting enough.
With Catra being my favorite it's extra exhausting because there is CONSTANTLY people attacking her and then total asshats trying to defend her who I do not want to be associated with. I love her. She's a fucking idiot and a bastard and a baby. Somehow, every take on her is both the worst and factually correct and then the fandom fights.
Tipsy, I. Am. Tired.
14. that one thing you see in fics all the time
OKAY
Let's fucking talk about how GLIMMER IS NOT AN EVIL BITCH. Can we talk about that? STOP TRYING TO LEAVE THIS POST AND SIT YOUR ASS DOWN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS AGAIN because someone needs to hear it louder in the back.
Glimmer is the character who is probably be done the dirtiest by the fandom but for wildly different reasons throughout the whole show. Hands down.
After S1 fandom took Glimmer and made her into an entitled dumbass whiner who threw money and her titles at her problems. They made her act like a child without any complexity. And it 100% took me from not really liking her character much to detesting her which is outrageous every time I remember that I kinda hated her at that point.
This did not improve post S2. :)
Post S3 probably was the most sympathetic and understanding the fandom was to Glimmer but it came at the cost of trying to bulldoze Catra for the Portal and people making callout posts like these characters were real people. I feel like the rise of some of the G/A shippers that I really can't stand was around this time. It was catra vs. glimmer fans going bat shit and drawing lines for ships.
If they couldn't assassinate Glimmer's character, by god the fandom would assassinate both Catra and Adora's in wildly different ways instead!
Do I need to talk about post S4? The idea of dark Glimmer and Glimmer going off the rails should have been a fun thing to play with in the sandbox and instead just writing it down made me cringe. Now Glimmer has to be an evil bitch because she had a trauma response and made bad decisions, now she is irredeemable because I made up a situation where she did something she didn't in canon for reasons so OOC someone probably slapped Donut Steel on it somewhere.
There was a little lift post series, but man people are holding onto Glimmer being a spoiled brat to play off of for Catra or a cruel bitch for Catra and, again, as a Catra fan, I want to bite bite kill kill bite kill kill kill!!!
Glimmer is allowed to grow up from being a spoiled kid who had good intentions and was naive. She is allowed to be over eager, bratty, petty, silly, funny, caring, and smart too. She's allowed to make bad choices and struggle with how to recover from it.
STOP MAKING ME THE LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE MEME FOR GLIMMER
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

Hi! I hope this isn’t a silly question but I was wondering if you have any advice for getting over the fear of mischaracterizing/having characters be ooc in fic? I want to write for vc, i have a few ideas but haven’t started any yet because I’m so nervous about getting it wrong
I do, in fact!
So when I was first thinking of writing some VC stuff I made it really low pressure for myself. Like if I got an idea I would write it out in my notes app on my phone, and if it didn't go anywhere then whatever, it didn't matter because I didn't intend to post it to begin with. I messed around like that for a good month and ended up with like fifteen little snippets of nothing that were just me figuring out who the characters of Armand and Daniel were and how they sounded. Which I think was really important because that gave me room to practice writing without the concern about getting it 'correct' on that very first go.
Then when I felt like okay, maybe I have something with this concept I'm playing with, I knew I had to have someone do a sanity check lol I just put it out there that I wanted a beta reader and thank god @cup-of-lixx responded. And now this is the key- you have to be open to suggestion. Tell your beta reader buddy you're worried about characterization and hopefully they'll have some kindly worded suggestions for you.
The truth is, what is 'in character' really comes down to two things: character voice, and knowing your basic facts. Everything beyond that is subjective and relies on the writer's ability to build a case for why this character wants to do this thing.
Say, for example, you want Marius to ride a carousel.
On paper that looks out of character, right? That serious old Roman on a carousel? lol
But the thing is, if you can nail his voice (he doesn't talk like a valley girl, he's not going to use contractions like 'gonna' and 'wanna', he's probably going to make some references to history in his internal dialogue) and nail the basic facts (he's a vampire, he's got blond hair, he can only come out at night) then…you're halfway there. The rest is all about building up why he's doing this.
Would he hop on for funsies all alone? Maybe not. Could you make up some back story about the first time he saw a carousel and thought about all the innovations man had to make since he was a youth in order to create such a thing? And that maybe he first saw one with Pandora and was feeling nostalgic? Sure! Your job as a writer is to convince your audience that this isn't out of character and you do that by building up the character's desires and motivations.
The other thing you gotta remember is, there's a difference between canon and fanon. Sometimes in fandom some writer does a really good fic where Character X loves popsicles even though in the books character X never eats a popsicle, but people love the idea so much they repeat it in their fics and headcanons until that act is part of the Fan Lore and people confuse it for canon.
And going against Fan Lore can be intimidating, and make you feel like you're doing something 'ooc' for the character but like…if it's not in the source material then it's not Fact and you can do whatever you want. But essentially if you're reading fic and notice a trend where Lestat always wears boxers even though in the books he never puts on a pair, and you don't agree that he would wear boxers? Don't worry about it, it's fan lore, do your own thing. I assure you, there's plenty of people out there reading fic who also don't think Lestat would wear boxers and will be relieved you wrote it.
Basically. All of this to say- care about characterization, but don't worry yourself sick over it. Get someone to check your work and then, at the end of the day, go wild. They're fictional people, they're little barbie dolls you as a writer can play with, and as long as you nail their voice and stay true to the basic facts you're free to do whatever else you want. Writing is supposed to be fun, we're not getting graded here. And you can't get it 'right' until you churn out some rough drafts wherein you get it 'wrong' first.
Have fun ♥ I hope that helps.

Who is fanon Sixty for you? I have seen the range from glue eating dumbfuck to sadistic rapist
I've seen that range too, and it's wild how people can interpret and add to the base of Sixty as a character. Technically it's just a warped version of Connor, but like... Incredibly, so, so much worse (affectionate). I mean I will not(TM) write an essay about how he's not a 'character' as such but symbolism for Connor's self-reflection and
For me, fanon Sixty exists in all fanon forms equally, because that's how I like to interpret canon stuff too. (Multiple timelines = different ways you can interpret a specific behaviour or choice.) BUT I do have content preferences, and glue-eater is definitely one of them lmfaoooo
Either way, I don't actually like the versions of Sixty I've seen the fandom adopt (it's just personal preference), yet I don't have my OWN headcanons about the character since I haven't played enough rounds to hear all his evil monologues lol. (I like to discover things organically, so I stay away from YouTube.)
But fanon Sixty to me is just... Connor. If Sixty survives the bullet in the head and goes on to deviate and live life, then he's Connor up until he deviates, just like Connor in crossroads. He has the ability to adopt his own personality, and interests, and assign himself personal goals which could look very different from Connor. Connor (according to Bryan) would become a palaeontologist I think if he no longer worked at the DPD. For Sixty, using the same skills of reconstruction, licking stuff, and tracking where things had been, I think he would become an efficient game hunter and could be called to take down bears or other dangerous animals that bother farms. He wears a cap but his pickup truck blares show tunes. His hunting pals hate him, but he's the best. He's formal, logical, and doesn't mind doing the dirty work. Clean at home, filthy in the field, always in the long grass and shrubs. Imagine just... dungaree!Connor, basically. He lures animals out with replicating sounds. (We all know how he lures Hank out and about smh.) And as a deviant, he cares for animals enough to understand how the wilderness works. Plus, he can find a cliff to monologue upon well after the sun has set.
Sixty would visit Connor to give Hank free meat (he knows Hank loves meat) (and he has a dimmed affection for him due to Connor's memories) and they'd hang out and play video games together. Connor and Sixty exclusively play on Russian lobbies and are absolute bots at it as a duo.
To me, Sixty is dead either way. If he kills Connor, CyberLife replaces him, but of course, he can die in the tower. If they somehow got him out altogether with the android army, he's still as smart and calculating as Connor is. He's still willing to do anything for the mission, but whatever is strictly necessary for the mission. On the fanon scale of "glue eating dumbfuck to sadistic rapist" (so well put anon btw) I wouldn't know where to rate him because fanon Connor is hardly aligned on that scale. Connor's fanon scale is like, good boy - evil machine - submissive - dominant (LIKE A POLITICAL SPECTRUM LMAO???) and I rank fanon Sixty on the same wavelength as Connor, which in my headcanon, is also up to interpreTATION FROM THE MEDIA WHENCE IT CAME. IDK if I'm making sense anymore. Sixty exists in the void but he's still a hunter to me.
For the record, I really enjoy @poorlydrawnandroids' interpretation of Sixty. That one's my favourite. It lingers in the salty-idiot area on the scale.

Reyyyyyy
TL;DR I can’t believe Star Wars made me sad about getting new Star Wars
Even though I’m no different from everybody else wanting Star Wars to break free of the endless prequels/callbacks/rehashed time periods that it’s mired in, the truly unfortunate thing about TROS is that it was so painful and left me perpetually trying to repair and reconcile it in my imagination with a litany of demented headcanons that now anything moving beyond that time period is... also going to be painful. Continuation will only make it more real and irreversible. They’re not going to focus on the things that have become so important to me to fix, because the official story is something that they can’t and won’t acknowledge as being broken. There is a fundamental, irreparable disconnect in what, to them, is the canon and what, to me, is a mistake.
I wish I could say they can’t hurt me anymore, but they can. They can hurt me even worse now because I’m still bleeding out in a ditch from the last time.
I really do try to focus on things I like (and there is a lot of silly and bad Star Wars that I like!) and not get bogged down by bitterness and negativity, so it really bums me out that it’s so hard to feel excited about this. Over the past few years it has been increasingly depressing to dwell on a special interest without new content as fandom activity diminishes by the day. Nothing compares to the excitement of not knowing what will happen next, seeing a new trailer, anticipating New Stuff. But on the other hand the dormancy feels... safe? Relaxed? I mean, there’s no time pressure of current events or new things on the way, I know all the material I have to work with, and beyond that I can just make up whatever shit I want! I may be sad but I’m free! WELL NOT ANYMORE.
As with all overused buzzwords I really hate fandom’s use of the word “feral” these days, but annoyingly that’s the best word for this type of thing. I used to be a domesticated canon fan, but canon ended and I was released into the wild and forced to fend for myself, and now if canon ever tries to adopt me again I’m going to be hissing and biting and clawing and refusing to eat whatever they try to feed me because I developed my own way to survive. :(
I think a big part of why some people hated TLJ so much is that they were committed to the headcanons they invented after TFA and they had a very specific idea of what they wanted to happen. Being super invested in your own fanfic ideas kills your ability to let other people tell the story. And while of course everyone has thoughts about where a story might go, I wasn’t so invested after TFA that there were things I NEEDED to see. By the time TLJ rolled around I only abstractly cared about what happened next and my interest was entirely as a gen fan. So I loved TLJ! Just being along for the ride is so fun! It’s chill! Head empty!
Even pre-TROS, while my investment skyrocketed after TLJ and I had a specific wishlist, I didn’t have an unreasonable wishlist (I THOUGHT). I didn’t game it out with detailed theories or reading fanfic or anything, it just seemed like there were pretty obvious things they needed to do to wrap things up in a satisfying way. So the disappointment came into play, but more in the sense of “uh this does not align with some very basic expectations that had been set by the previous 8 movies.”
After TROS is where it got ugly, and I suddenly CARED about SHIPPING because they made me like it and ruined it AT THE SAME TIME so my need to fix it became so strong that there’s now a whole separate fanon ecosystem that has taken up residence in my brain. They left us high and dry with an inert ending and no hope, the door slammed shut on any interesting new path for the future. Of course fans are gonna try to circumvent that any way they can.
So now that they’ve confirmed new post-sequel material is coming... haha I’m in danger. It’s so scary. I’m sweating. I’m panicking. They’re never gonna do what I want because what I want is crazy. I am guaranteed disappointment from every angle, on all fronts, no matter which way it comes from it is coming for me. Even if they DID do exactly what I want (they won’t), that would still be disappointing because reality never lives up to expectations. It’s a no-win scenario.
I can’t be a breezy gen fan anymore. I have an agenda. The fun is over. I’m too attached to the infinite possibilities of my imaginary scenarios and I don’t want them to be obliterated by grim reality. I’m gonna lose it. I’ve already lost it. TROS + pandemic times broke me so completely that there’s no going back. I’m done for.
Even setting aside [DEAD CHARACTER] factors, the most basic metric is that it’s going to be hard for me to accept any new story with Rey when I still can’t hear or read “Rey Skywalker” without cringing out of my body. There’s no way around it, they’re not gonna undo it, they really saddled us with that embarrassment for the rest of time, tainting everything that follows. All future story has to be built on an unstable foundation because there are things in TROS that truly can’t be undone (“we knew you were a Palpatine the whole time lol”). And I’m especially wary now that the franchise seems pretty dedicated to getting worse as it expands. TROS felt like such a betrayal, and so much of the live-action tv output since then has been mediocre to bad, I’ve lost the trust I had in 2019.
I have so many issues with just the suggestion of Rey alone rebuilding the Jedi, because the thing I actually wanted out of the sequels was Rey, Finn, and Ben as the founders of a new Jedi Order—which, you know, obviously didn’t happen. Of course we don’t know anything at this point (like if this movie will even really get made at all) so there’s no way of knowing if other characters will return (Rose Rose Rose Rose), but even throwing it out there as “yeah just Rey by herself! only Rey! alone, like she was always meant to be!” is maddening. I will be shocked if John Boyega ever comes back to play Finn since he seems pretty definitively done with it, and even on the off chance that Ben gets acknowledged he’ll still be dead, and it all makes me so sad that there was such an enormous opportunity of having this next generation established in their own trilogy actually become a team and usher in a new era together and instead it’s just. Rey, alone.
And the fact that NOW they’re like “oh right maybe we should’ve done something with the whole Jedi thing when we were wrapping up the saga”… oh my god. Yeah no shit!!!!!
I guess I still have a while longer to desperately cling to my deluded hope that they’ll do something good that I want. There’s a bunch of dyad cosmic weirdness just sitting there undefined and unexplored, FOR EXAMPLE, and if nothing else I have gotten soooo good at clowning. I’m going to clown until it’s absolutely not possible to clown anymore, and even then I’ll probably still clown.
For now I have to try and ensconce myself in the tiniest bubble of my positivity that I love Rey! And I’m so excited to see her! And for her to get NEW OUTFITS and NEW HAIRSTYLES!!! And USE HER OWN LIGHTSABER!!!!
(and she bangs a ghost.)
haha who said that

i am pretty lenient with wild fan interpretation, or even comic fans that don’t read many comics. comics are expensive! a single issue can go for six dollars each, and that’s if you’re lucky. it’s hard to find a specific run order, or a specific issue. finding anything free online is hard, and sometimes they’re too low quality for people to read. comics are full of garbage takes on characters, and writers that take out their bigotries on characters. i get it. i get it.
but some of you have got to stop stating your headcanons, or things that are just blatantly disproven my canon, as true. it’s obnoxious, for one, but it also just makes things so much more confusing. it is very difficult to know what’s true and what’s fanon in comics, for all the previously stated reasons. in thousands of issues, hundreds of series, dozens of different timelines, it is so hard to find one specific thing, unless you have one specific issue. which are stupid hard to find in some cases! obviously you can think what you want but you have gotta stop acting like it’s a canon truth to the story when it just isn’t. it makes things even more muddy and confusing then they already are
#dc#fanon vs canon#this is specifically about#batfam#with the wild interpretations fans come up with i yhink it’s worth tagging#but if it bothers someone i can get rid of it#this isn’t something i’m gonna argue about id recommend not trying#vent#kind of#but i think that’s worth tagging also

Now that I've become interested in Aegond I wonder if you have headcanons about them🤔 based on whatever, the book/show/fanon etc. Ofc if you like this relationship or interested in it please share your thoughts about it
originally I was very conflicted about them because of course the idea had crossed my mind, but then I went "nah no way these two could not never mind" and then after literal seconds I started debated "but wait, if we consider this and that then maaayybe?"
so. long story short. yes I ship them. And I consider them quite underrated too
I don't really have any headcanons though because they're still fresh in my mind so I gotta think about them.
I think the challenge with Aegon & Aemond is:
neither would want to relinquish control to the other. Of course relationships shouldn't even be about one having the upper hand, but it's Westeros and these are men so you bet they're gonna do it as excruciatingly difficult as possible.
While Aegon is lazy, he's prideful. Hes sullen and bitter about lots of things but won't do much about it. At the same time he likes being wild and free of responsibilities. Aemond is arrogant and in constant mood to prove himself while being angry at people 24/7.
So, safe to say in my mind there would be a lot of tug of war and of course they would be toxic as hell, 'cause c'mon you're talking to me
Also I suspect it's quite unpopular but as a queer person I prefer not to pretend the homophobia in asoiaf doesn't exist. Of course the people who want to ignore it are 100% valid and this boils down to personal preference but the way I see these two, they'd definitely have the internalized homophobia and extreme self denial.
Aemond definitely more than Aegon, but even the latter one for all his mischief, would have some as well.
Would these two be happy? eh hard to see honestly. As I mentioned, i imagine them to be that extreme toxic couple who constantly hurt one another but won't walk away. They probably won't ever acknowledge the problem.
I know some love going with the belief that the green kids didn't care about one another but dunno, i think they did but in the most twisted way possible?
Aegon does want to honor his brother in the book and I think his "loyalty" and "victories" have strengthened the trust and care in him. Not to mention that this was happening in a time where Aegon was in a horrible position (thanks to his choices) and Aemond was one of the good spots that had remained.
On the other hand for Aemond, i know he has the line about how the crown looked better on him but call me delulu but I don't take this as him hating Aegon. Aemond was arrogant af, thought he deserved the very best and of course he thought he'd make a better king than Aegon. He had this constant need to prove himself, hence the weird fixation of mirroring daemon.
anyways, I take the topic away from the ship but to bring it back, I totally ship them but as I do with every character i take the interpretation of their characterization and their dynamic from f&b and not the show
#ask reply#sorry for the late reply but hallelujah I've been waiting for someone to bring those two up tbh#aegond#I also have a very interesting Rhaenyra x Aegon x Aemond thing but that deserves it's own ask if anyone is ever interested#anyways these two? a nightmare. but an entertaining one!#aegon x aemond#tw homophobia#my headcanons

More corespondance from Poppy Lurker Anon under the cut.
hi sfw fic poppy anon again. re the tags yeah i really only cared about the bench trio (admittedly i did in fact center tommy). that’s actually one of the things i find interesting about my time on poppytwt. idk how common of a experience this was but the divide between the people who only really cared about bench trio (and co like purpled, bill, etc) vs the people who shipped them with the adults was a big thing at the time. idk i just remember it being a thing where people who like mained the members of bench and only shipped amongst them were against the people who shipped with the adults. i know that wasn’t like universal but i think that divide is one of the things that like really strikes me as strange like how both of those sides were labeled as equally problematic in the eyes of main. like the core of poppytwt was going against boundaries and i get why that’s problematic but i think it was treated as too black and white.
switching gears i wanted to also touch on Tommy as like a character just because you mentioned c!Tommy. i think the thing that happened was Tommy as a character within sbi fic wasn’t c!Tommy from dsmp and also wasn’t irl streamer Tommy so people were more free to give characteristics as they wanted. (tho to an extent people also treated irl fic as free reign specifically with tommy because of how much his persona was clearly a persona and how people would say he was really different irl) and certain traits like making him soft or meek (or like depressed or bullied) was popular because people could use it as like self insert or vent. then if there’s a lot of those fics and/or they’re popular more people write him like that and eventually it just becomes popular as fanon and because there’s no real canon with this Tommy then fanon kind of becomes law. i think that’s also how crimeboys/tombur got to the point it got. if they’re not in dsmp and they’re not in irl then it’s kind of free reign to write them however you want and from there it’s a game of telephone until eventually you get wilbur telling tommy he’s going to keep him trapped in his bed because he ignored him for a bit (actual thing i read in a non poppy crimeboys fic. worth noting it was a hero villain au and it was literally like keeping him in bed for cuddles. again we are like half a step removed from just like a smut fic in this case like that scenario just screams this is a smut fic without the smut to me. dark sbi was a wild tag)
Lot of good observations anon, I'm pretty sure I agree.
Boy that fic mention hit me-- I've seen 'forced cuddling' (so much to unpack) around sometimes and it's just. It wraps me back around again to my initial concern of 'we need a more honest understanding of what could be sexual because too much is sneaking under the door in potentially harmful ways.' Things people dont know to dial back or think twice about if the weight of them are masked are dangerous.
Sometimes I think about the way that Tommy's Real Life Grief was kind of burned as fuel by the fandom in a way that's intense to really unpack. People were really, really invested in his sadness and grief and victimhood as a character, which is typical for a character but is a bit off-center when that character is so tied to a real guy and some of the lines were blurred. As you mentioned, SBI fic was half c! and half irl and eventually mostly headcanon in your example, and that boy just could not have living or non-abusive parents-- he came with pre-installed grief that always seemed a bit bigger than a plot device, the sadness was the point. Blonde Sad Self-Insert Woobie is well a loved inter-fandom pattern, but this wasn't Dave Strider or Hunter Owlhouse, this was a real guy who would go on to be a real man. Having him serve as an audeince proxy for sadness or being loved or 'sensuality' was a whole different, heavier moral question that got hand-waved by a big number of people.

Tonight, on Bottom Gear: Ylthin gets extra sentimental about the spiky lads, and especially her fictional dysfunctional more-or-less-spiky children
(AKA I’m going to vaguely ramble about why I ticked so hard with Chaos and Chaos Marines as a faction, and how my personal experiences may or may not have seeped through into my renegade/CSM OCs)
---
Maybe I should begin by bringing up what exactly spurred this - and it’s a meme posted in a mutual’s Discord server this evening:
I saw it and nodded, for it is good and righteous to call the canon dumb and elope with some harlot to the wild frontier of headcanon, fanon and others. But at the same time - how about acknowledging canon... by defying it? How about taking the grand founding rule of this fictional universe and asking “okay, but what would happen if something didn’t conform to it”? Taking the one in a hundred, one in a thousand, one in a million... one-period, the sole existing or known exception to what’s considered the norm?
And then it struck me - it’s what Chaos and otherwise rogue Marines are to the Imperium. They’re the impossible, the anathema, the living defiance of both its founding principles and current ideological line, a thing so blasphemous their very existence is a desperately guarded state secret. They’re thoroughly brainwashed into total obedience, yet somehow break out of it, betray their sovereign - be it for the Ruinous Powers, their own agenda or both. They’re the exception to the rule - and an exception so powerful, so fundamental, it dates back to the founding of the Imperium and originally covered nearly half of the Legiones Astartes. They prove that the rule is hardly as set in stone as the Imperium would like you to believe, and if you think about it for more than a second...
Wouldn’t it mean other exceptions are possible, too?
Wouldn’t it mean that an Astartes can be of other gender than “male”? That they can experience sexual or romantic attraction? That they can feel the full spectrum of human emotions and desires, or at least parts of it?
And what would happen if they did so in an environment that denies them the knowledge or space to express themselves? One that seeks to repress those feelings and behaviors, directly or indirectly?
For example, what would happen if the hypno-conditioning was flawed beyond just allowing for “too much” free will or “not enough” attachment to the Imperium over the Marine’s own brotherhood? If he was unusually sympathetic and protective of mortals, genuinely invested in fighting “for the good of mankind”? Or if he felt particularly responsible for the brothers assigned to his command, seeing himself as a teacher and a role model, but more importantly someone they could confide in and seek advice from?
What would happen if a Marine found himself falling in love with - and simultaneously also feeling physically attracted to - another battle brother while understanding in theory how human sexuality operates but remaining firmly convinced it doesn’t - and shouldn’t - extend to Astartes? If “he” felt off about his hypermasculine appearance and secretly questioned the logic behind artificially maintaining an environment with only one, nominally “male” gender?
What would happen if a Marine was drafted into a war, but not given a cause to believe in or rally around, thrust into another man’s conflict without any personal conviction or stake, nothing beyond a vague claim of “duty” and “sole purpose”?
What would happen if this was confounded by snippets of knowledge - surviving memories of the past, direct experiences with mortals, overheard words - yet also faced with opposition in some way, quiet or loud, with misunderstanding, denial, hostility, punishment or deterrence? If this experience seemed to be an isolated case, a one-of-a-kind event at best and a major defect at worst?
What would happen to those one-in-many, to isolated grains of sand that slipped through a hair-thin crack?
And what if those unique experiences became compounded, layered on top of other, more conventionally-unconventional exceptions? A Rubric exile partially afflicted by the spell they helped cast, a noble-hearted Fenrisian who fought on Armageddon only to slip into Khorne’s clutches, an Imperial Fist successor who fought his way into the ranks of Iron Warriors to lead a squad of young, disheartened recruits...
After all, the galaxy is so massive that one-in-a-million events can basically happen every other day. One percent - one in a hundred - out of one million is ten thousand, and from our limited human perspective there’s almost nothing stopping reality from somehow hitting that one percent chance several times in a row.
After all, life spun the wheel with me and checked off a whole bunch of boxes in one go, making me queer, neurodivergent, mentally ill and very angry about a number of things in retrospect - and I wouldn’t be able to describe myself as either of these things if I haven’t heard from people who experienced them as well. Go figure.
#ylthinOCrambles#40k rambles#I can probably talk your ear off about each one of the characters I've mentioned here#but it's 1AM and I wanted to keep at least the appearances of writing something coherent and cohesive and whatever else#so if you want to get OC lore-dumped#please let me know and I'll make separate posts for it at a more humane hour#I work 9-5 and the past 2 days were office days so I have some sleep to catch up on k thx bye

Huh, there's a letter...🔞

NO MINORS PLEASE, THANK YOU! MY NSFW blog is heatedmetalheart.
Please practice reblog karma! If you reblog a game from me, send something in. It's rude otherwise and you'll end up blocked.
I often self ship with villains or morally grey characters. If this makes you uncomfortable, this may not be the blog for you! I also have very little care for canon. I am a part of a system and may talk about this from time to time. This is a system and plural safe blog!
I also have the shittiest memory in the wild west. So I apologize in advance if I leave a reblog in my drafts, start F/Oing a character and forget a mutual of mine already does and isn't comfortable with that (just block my silly ass), reblog or post something twice, use the wrongs words, and you get the picture. Please be polite over this, I genuinely don't find people poking fun at this amusing.
💘DNI💘
Homophobes, transphobes, racists, bigots of any kind, exclusionists, and those who ship adults with minors, or incest (or support people that do). If you hate self diagnosis, you are not welcome here!
This is a safe place for other systems, however, keep in mind you are not the only one who has to take care of their mental health. No, it is not our responsibility to put up with anything your system puts us through. We sympathize with having difficult headmates, and we don't blame others for what their headmates do. However, refusing or failing to deal with problematic members shows this is not the right space for us, and we will block you to protect our system members. Please understand this is for our own safety. A headmate being abusive towards one of my headmates will be taken as seriously as if the host was abusive to myself, period.
And look, I'm gonna be real with you, there's some parts of fandom culture I loathe and will avoid like the plague. This includes;
Drama/discourse/debates
Headcanon/fanon pushing
The idea of "fandom leaders" that know it all.
Huge media predictions/the creator said this! I want to see it, not hear about it. Especially with F/O deaths, which I am sensitive to.
I pretty much block anyone that makes me uncomfy and to keep track of blogs whose information I read, but didn't want to/couldn't follow. Aka, I do so liberally, so don't take it personally.
💘About Me💘
I'm 21, he/him, and this is an 18+ blog. You can call me Nightmares, if you'd like! In my free time I enjoy fanboying, writing, listening to music, reading, playing video games, and watching YouTube videos. My favorite media is movies and anime, but my favorite genre is probably either horror or romance.
My inbox is always open for general chatting, either about your interests or your F/Os or S/Is. Seriously, feel free to hit me up anytime, I'm shy, but I really do like discussing this stuff with you.
If Discord is preferable, just let me know. I'd prefer to have interacted with you a bit first, though.
[Everything is safe to reblog unless I have turned that feature off. Keep in mind older posts may not have had this in mind.]

🔥🔥🔥 mash canon vs. mash fanon, if you may
okay am I supposed to give three separate opinions on this topic?
MASH canon is pretty much always better than mash fanon. I love that there is a fandom because I love participating in fandom activities, but there's a popular approach to fanon that only really works if your canon is a bit shit. Like, Supernatural and BBC Sherlock are the obvious examples, but also things like Star Wars (and arguably Star Trek with the exception of Deep Space Nine and I do tend to see a difference in how DS9 fandom operates). There's almost an arrogance to it, like "of course we can do it better." With something like Supernatural, that's true. With MASH it's not. MASH is already good and, frankly, was made by people more talented than most of us. I am including myself in this, a MASH fic writer who deeply and delusionally believes I could do The West Wing better. You know that "I'll show you 100 fic authors who can do it worse" post? Yeah.
I don't understand the fanon around BJ Hunnicutt at all, but I think the reason that character attracts so much wild rewriting by fans is that he's a comparatively weak character. Ken Levine said they struggled with writing him and tried different ways of making him stand out and I think a lot of the "layers" fans think they're picking up on are just those inconsistencies. And it's great that people love him anyway! It's not an insult to say your fave isn't super well-written, I promise. But instead of picking up what's given and smoothing out the rough edges of the writing, fanon just turns him into a completely different character who's... well, I don't find him likable, but I also just find him unsympathetic because he's kind of a caricature or stereotype. He's so wildly different to canon BJ I'm not really sure how he got there.
The "queer lens" (the way fanon uses it) makes MASH less interesting. The show is about war and specifically about a medical unit, which is a fairly different experience to being on the line, and a very interesting story. Sometimes other parts of life are more interesting than being gay. Characters can be gay without the story being about that, although canonically none of the MASH characters are and some of the headcanons are a stretch. I think the idea of the 4077th as some kind of queer safe haven totally undermines the themes of the show. There is a complicated history with gay people and the US military and you could get into that and characters' complicated feelings about it. But the idea that any of them are more free to be or find themselves really negates one of the core themes of the show, which is that the army is a constant threat to their individuality and identities. And this goes double if your lens centers on romance. MASH is a war story, not a love story. Also personally, as a gay person, I hate the "gay army doctor" show thing. There is one gay character in MASH and it's George in a single episode of season 2. Stop saying it's something it's not.

for the choose violence ask game:
3, 6, 16, and 25 with critical role (either tm9 or vox machina)
3.screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr: c1 you had like a stronger firehose of flat sexism which sucked but c2 takes the worst takes cake by far. look i was there for the beaujes schism there were many dark times. the post that made me the most mad that i still remember was someone calling beauyasha a lesbian ship designed for straight people - unlike beaujes, which would be real representation. why do i remember that. this website is a circle of hell created to torment me.
6. which ship fans are the most annoying?: unquestionably widomauk. i do not understand why that is a Big Ship and i think people were way to attached to an idea that was never as sexy as widofjord didn't have legs. this bled over into all the big caleb ships but never more annoyingly than it did with molly
16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc): i genuinely feel like the vast majority of people invented a fanon version of mollymauk after he died and are in desperate need of a Return To The Source Material Refresher. i would like this character more if you could ever get a good fan characterization of him. i think i've liked one molly fic ever. i rarely read cr fic but when i do my first filter move is to take out molly i have no desire to see this frankenstein built from every imagined thing people think happened with him in the show. there's something potentially interesting to think about with how molly is present in the memory of the characters of c2 in this different and idealized way but unfortunately i will never sift through ten thousand bullshit headcanons to find it
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing: i'm really not that In The Fandom anymore but cr is genuinely propped up on the base of a bunch of parasocial stuff that fans don't seem able to let go of so. honestly if we could never again do the "they're not successful they're just friends running a dnd game, we're lucky to get to see it so we should never complain about anything that happens in it, fuck you if you ever do! Don't forget to love each other tee hee" post again i would be free. this fandom has crossed the size threshold for discussing things with any nuance at all and it feels like it always loops back around to don't forget to love each other as if that's a merch tagline. i could go the rest of my life never hearing it again
if i had to pick another one, I'd say it's wild when people then turn around and say a character was acting ooc just because they did something that the audience didn't like. like i can't fucking stand fcg but they're not acting ooc when they spit out some trite first semester psychology student bullshit. that's literally in character i just don't like the character, i don't get on here and make a post saying sam doesn't know how to play his own robot
#answering asks#ask game#anonymous#sorry anon it's later and I've had my melatonin so you're getting the sleepier and more unfiltered answers#I don't have a funny one like i did for Claire's ask i just have unfiltered hater energy

Thoughts after completing A New Star Approaches quest
Specifically in terms of worldbuilding head canons and ideas for my own Au’s. which in all honesty mostly focus around childe currently.
it may just be because of how Hoyoverse portrays the situation, as well as being in the travelers point of view, but I do feel the whole gnosis betrayal in regards Zhongchi is amplified in fanon (not that I am complaining, I do love the angst and stuff that comes from it). and I do understand why people would go down the route of making it more dramatic, angst and worse consequences, but tis personally not my thing when it comes to writing. that said, my interpretation of the canon material so far(have not started the next archon quest as of writing this)
In regards to Childe and the repercussions of the Osial incident, my interpretation is just that Childe is more mildly irritated over the situation, having been played and made a scapegoat, but not too terribly upset given he got a good fight and, in his eyes, a friend out of the traveler. that just ties into my headcanon that if you can become a regular fight/sparring buddy of his, that's one of the highest forms of friendship he has, (given how few people he’s encountered that can actually come back for a second fight, much less for something as simply as sparring(or material gathering as the traveler calls it).
But asides from that (as I haven't seen any actual mention so far of Childe being banned from Liyue so far) I can see a couple reasons why Ningguang hasn't done so. sure he’s a liability, but due to said incident she was implied to be able to make and negotiate with Sneznayha diplomats with many more benefits for Liyue. With her ambitions and knowing how much of a wild card he is, I can see her weighing the options of having to clean up any other problems he brings (and after defeating Osail I can see her, while placing proper safe guards in place, believing that they are capable of it) verses the potential of what else she’d be able to milk from Sneznayha should he cause trouble again.
Plus the fact of how rich he is, (which asides from spending money on his family I honestly don't see him spending much anywhere else, unless he’s got zhongli with him which is an explanation on its own. honestly I can see him having killer savings, especially if it was properly invested which it probably is. he totally has college funds fully set up for all his sibs and you can pry that out of my cold dead hands, but anyway getting side tracked) he’s essentially a walking black card that can do a lot to stimulate the liyue economy.
so in the end I can see her allowing him to stay with some consequences, but ultimately letting him roam free as a future unlimited bargaining chip essentially.
and so conclude most of my current thoughts.
