THE FANDOM FLANDERIZATION MEME

[elfstoned]

We all know how fandom flanderizes characters, but what if Save the Earth were a television show?

How would fandom get it wrong?



HOW IT WORKS:
Post a comment with your character journal explaining generally what the twisted and horrible fanon version of your character is. What less significant personality traits do they fixate on? How do the thirteen-year-olds on fanfiction.net write them? Who are they shipped with ad nauseum? What are they like in Omegaverse?

OPTIONAL: Reply IC to others' comments as your own flanderized fanon character, or feel free to have the real version express horror and disgust (or vicious amusement).

Have fun!!

Re: Emery Ayliff ★ MERLIN

When Julien is shipped with him then generally someone has to be the more aggressive/macho one whose initial is the first letter. J/E or E/J? Ship wars are made out of these, flames to those who disagree. Julien's probably more worldly in canon and is a bit older, but is also definitely shorter and has the silly colors, so it's a toss up.



What often is agreed on is that Emery's ~magic hands~ can bring out the Apostle, who's definitely the first letter but also needs to be taught intimacy.

It'd be constant ship wars and it'd be excellent. Em and Julien would have an adorkable romance with lots of ice cream and finger painting and cuddles on the couch! Everyone would be pleased for them and nothing would hurt. Ever.

And naturally Em and the Apostle would have some kind of forbidden love! Lots of moonlit trysts and angst and desperate embraces. I'll get the popcorn ready.

And poetry. It would be very sweet. XD Someone would protest and be super bigoted just to make them look better.

Oh, yes! The Apostle's angel wings are erogenous zones, you know.

/slowly and subtly makes note of this

It means the Knight and Angel pic is... not entirely innocent on Julien's part. ^_^

...I kinda want to do a whole series.

[abidan]

Julien you sly pigeon, you! And you definitely should. Creativity is marvellous.

[espigeonage]

Let's see...

[abidan]

Now I'm just kinda hungry ...

[espigeonage]

You have any images of Em/Merlin/what have you just holding something in his mouth?

[abidan]

Oh gosh, I can't say that I do, unfortunately. I hope you're not up to anything nefarious ...

[espigeonage]

No, it's totally innocent.

[abidan]

OH MISTER JULIEN

mmm poultry flavor

Kind of sad to realize that since the fans don't know he's a pigeon or about what happens to Yuuya in one route, there aren't cannibalism jokes.

Oh, yes! The Apostle's angel wings are erogenous zones, you know.

There used to be a very long-running meme along these lines at my main game. I think it was the Good Omens characters who started it.

Hee. I wasn't actually aware of wingkink before a few days ago. I mean I knew there was a fascination with wings, but I thought it was like... just because wings are gorgeous.
