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!!

REGINA | BLUESTAR

[sacrifice_everything]

Because she's a cat the fandom likes to play on the fact that she doesn't understand anything about humans to the point where she doesn't understand what food is half the time. Aww what a precious lil baby she probably doesn't even know what a bed is. She probably doesn't understand that Karson's father is not named Kar. Sounds like a certain actual fandom...

She is shipped ad nauseum with Gomez because they are the only two actual cats to ship, but Regina x Fay had a spark of popularity too for some reason. Regina has also had a fanfic or two dedicated to her creating a cult with Fay as their messiah and Karson as his disciple. Everyone was confused by this.

She's been given a few horrible pasts due to having started out in an animal shelter, about how she was tortured by the veterinarians or her mother died slowly from being hit by a car. The fact that she's convinced vets are called "cutters" does not help this.

The fandom also seems to be convinced that she's a goody-two-shoes kittycat who can't get her paws dirty because she was raised in a house and that of course leads to her acting like a Disney channel celebrity. Which is honestly pretty hilarious to watch.
