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!!

I'd say that all depends on at what point both are at in their Echoes overall~ Possible scenarios include:
- Sarah was a druid or some sort of nature magician or spirit, and Cinderella was her familiar of some kind.
- Sarah was a druid or some sort of nature magician or spirit, Cinderella was a human woman transformed into a pony, the two partnered up because Sarah having an affinity for animals could most inconspicuously communicate with her, and reincarnation has brought them back together to reattain their true forms.
- They were sisters in some wooded fantasy village and both of them started magically shapeshifting.
- Many others I'm sure.

Annnd you could probably do it a load better than I am!

Interesting; I was expecting you'd tie into the high-class!Cinderella theory and propose that Sarah, with her simpler name and deferential demeanor, was some manner of lady-in-waiting or other servant.

Annnd maybe. Though the above is literally the only thing I've come up with so far for this. It seems to me like some kind of mental gymnastics or yoga - I can see how one'd get into those positions, but my brain isn't flexible enough to manage it without help.
