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!!

Working for the bad guys because they're promising to bring a loved one back? For shame, fanon Kotetsu.

Ahem.

sldkfjalskdf oh god emi i did not even think of that

clearly a reason for the shippers to think they're MEANT TO BE amirite

the fics come in two flavors:

1. Kotetsu teaches Fay to become 100% okay with himself and helps him reconnect with his family and makes them okay with his sexuality and everything is rainbows and gay sparkles and everyone lived happily ever after

2. Evil!Kotetsu has his heart healed by the Power of Love as he realizes Fay was Just Like Him in preincarnation and decides he luvs Fay too much to let the aliens take over earth and everything is rainbows and sparkles and everyone lived happily ever after.

He also conveniently forgets about said dead wife. Wedding ring, what wedding ring?
