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!!

DID SOMEONE SAY BONDAGE

[elfstone]

*because I guess fandom Aragorn is all over that*

[espigeonage]

fuck yeah.

Uh. NSFW. His dad kidnapped him and locked him away in the, uh, BDSM dungeon all rich people keep, so if you're going in to try and rescue him...

[elfstone]

oh no how awful

ARAGORN TO THE RESCUE

*he's fought off all the armed guards between him and Julien, and flings open the doors to the Silver Room of Pain*

*and looks down at Julien*

*and has a lot of conflicting feelings, because on the one hand, hot. on the other, no one else is allowed to tie Julien up.*

[espigeonage]

"Mmmff mfff!"

*Julien's kind of bruised up and not in the good way because it's not bondage from someone he's being shipped with.*

*also he's... somehow even though his ears are exposed and he's presumably not lost his wits he hasn't figured out that this isn't Daddy despite all the fighting and drama out there.*

[elfstone]

*Aragorn drops to his knees next to Julien, sword in his left hand, caressing Julien's face in his right.*

Are you all right?

Tell me what they did to you.

[espigeonage]

*this presumably removes the gag at least, otherwise this thing is comedy and not... this.*

*Julien's voice is all soft and cracked and disbelieving.*

Strider...?

*HESITATE*

No...

Aragorn... you came to get me...

[elfstone]

*he wraps his arms around julien in an uncharacteristic gesture of affection, caring not that the boy is unclad*

Of course I did. And I will make them pay for what they have done to you.

[espigeonage]

*of course Julien just leans in because trauma what's that.*

...but you could get hurt. I don't... want that.

Please don't uncover my eyes. I don't want to see you... here, in this place. ...he said he'd blind me if I saw his face...

[naeth]

*surely he wouldn't be terrified or skittish or even a little touch-shy after something like that*

*Aragorn only holds him tighter*

He will never touch you again.

[espigeonage]

*Of course not! And also those bruises are no impediment. Overuse of ellipses and a dazed quality are the only real effects.*

Good... good. I'm so glad...

I hoped you would come for me... I wanted to see everyone. But... you most of all...


[I didn't think mammal hair came in blue! I've heard of coloring the hair on their heads, but... you, you're human, doesn't the copulatory hair fall out on a faster cycle? Coloring that seems rather futile if that's true. Ahaha.

Salut, by the way.]

[elfstone]

[Well met, friend. Would that I could answer your questions, but I'm no authority on the matter, I fear. What dyes exist in my world are temporary at best.]

*aragorn pulls julien into a passionate and possessive and dominant kiss that somehow doesn't trigger unfortunate memories*

[...what's this about, then?]

[espigeonage]

[All's well, I'll just have to remember to ask around later.]

*aw yiss. Julien very much wants to touch him but his hands are still shackled behind his back. He struggles against them ineffectually, rocking his chest back and forth, but makes no attempt to pull away.*

[Some form of pornography is my guess! Of course I'm going to hazard that your real question is why the bigger human looks like you, mon ami, and the little one has my voice. How troublesome!]
