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 didn't realize how popular Jules might be until this meme. |D That said I'm sure he's often the disposable boyfriend who exists for someone to break up with to be with their OTP.

Yeah. |D I expect there are others where Emmanuel teams up with Aaron. ...Or hey, a subset of fics called, idk, "The Gift of a Knife" where anyone who Julien touches ends up echoing some kind of blade.
