When a fic doesn’t fit my head canons but it’s well-written

#I don’t think xy OR z happened but damn if this isn’t compelling#‘he would never do that. next chapter’#also it’s good to look beyond our own perceived ideas of the narrative and be fascinated by others takes#I’m only reading fanfics from one fandom so#gravity falls#fiddauthor#fan fiction#ao3#old man yaoi#the office#dwight schrute#screencaps

unpopular opinion but i think a ship that's not canon but both halves are canonically insane about each other is infinitely better than a ship that's canon and boring
#like on 911 buck and eddie have never kissed and maybe never will but buck watched eddie get shot and eddie bled all over him#and then eddie listed buck as chris's guardian in his will in case anything ever happened to eddie. insane! compelling!#meanwhile on 911 lone star tarlos is canon and they are not insane about each other and that's why the ship is boring as fuck#on night court dan and harry never kissed but harry planned dan's funeral when dan was presumed dead bc dan made harry his next of kin#and that's way more interesting than any harry/christine kiss we got#i'm not saying you can't want your ship to fuck i just don't see why some people are like 'xyz ship HAS to fuck or what's the POINT'#the point is they're insane about each other. are you not entertained#personal

ok so i think that my favourite fantasy subgenre is The Inherent Tragedy Of Being Born Into Royalty. which mostly means that i like to read about gay princes but with some nuance
#ethically i am opposed to monarchies and empires. i think being born into a royal bloodline is inherently traumatising#which makes for the juiciest tastiest drama in stories obviously#either you become a bad ruler and people will suffer at your feet. or you become a good ruler and you no longer belong to yourself#how much will you sacrifice at the altar of your ideals?#It Compels Me. Narratively#also books like the goblin emperor have a big autism appeal in like. the court had a lot of nonsensical rules and you have to mask so much#apparently i am such a parody of myself that whenever im like. i have a drawing of my current blorbo#my friend immediately assumes it's a prince based on their vibes#IT'S NOT ALWAYS A PRINCE... SOMETIMES IT'S THE EMPEROR'S SECRETARY.... OR A DEMON WHO'S A KNIGHT.............. I CAN BE DIVERSE#anyway im currently reading the hands of the emperor AND a prince4prince web novel. that's the vibes rn

I want to emphasize something about the dungeon meshi ages.

So Senshi is 35-36 here, yeah? The dwarven age of maturity is 40, and he’s just shy of it.
When Chilchuck was just shy of his race’s age of maturity, he had a kid and got married. He was 13, and the half-foot age of maturity is 14.
So, developmentally-wise, THIS is how old Chilchuck was when he became a father:

This is even further emphasized with Izutsumi. She’s 17 (and actually turns 18 during the faligon feast), older than the tallman age of maturity, and still reads VERY immature to the audience. By the time Chilchuck was Izutsumi’s relative age, he was already on his third kid and had moved away from home to the city.
Imagine Izutsumi being a parent of three. Imagine Senshi having a child of his own when he was with the miners.
Like. Chilchuck was young young.
#i find it so interesting!!! what a compelling trait to give a character!!!#it clearly fucked him up and we’re seeing the repurcussions of that!!#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi spoilers#senshi of izganda#chilchuck tims#izutsumi#photos

i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?

I'm obsessed with characters we only hear about second or third hand, especially when those accounts are conflicting. No, you don't get to see them, but here's a warped mirror of what other people thought they were. Enjoy your contemplation of how being known is an act of translation and communicates only aspects of the self.
#examples like anastasia and alecto and even gideon the first in tlt#natsume reiko from natsume yuujinchou#agnes in the magnus archives#sir no longer present in the narrative#no longer able to speak for themselves#persisting only as part of the mythology of others#it's compelling to me
