#someday... someday... 😔

[de4thbystere0]

Someday I might actually try to put more effort into saying something about this, but- I've been on an Outsiders kick recently and am thinking about how it's such an interesting case study in fandom/media culture.

Every year hundreds of kids read this book from 1967 for school, and a handful (myself and a few friends included) latch onto it in ways they don't other compulsory-read books. Its longevity in popular culture means that you have fans in all age groups, a large number of which would likely never have read the book or seen the movie if it wasn't for a grade. I'm always so surprised when I find people who HAVEN'T read or watched it (even if it was just for school)!

Re-visiting the fandom so many years later as a 22 year-old, recent college graduate just to find that not only is there still an active fandom, but one that is so clearly (especially on Pinterest) driven by young people who are in the same awful, confusing place I was when I was first introduced to these characters is great. (I'm also guessing that the recent musical adaptation is helping a fair bit too! I will admit with some embarrassment that I've had it on repeat the past week or so...)

Anyways- I just still have so much love for this book and still cry when I watch the movie, and have too many thoughts/feelings about it as a result.

Shen Qingqiu's guide to causing emotional damage to your martial siblings (ft. a bonus under the cut)

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. The first part depicts, from left to right, Shang Qinghua, Mu Qingfang, Yue Qingyuan, Liu Qingge and Qi Qingqi. SQH has his hands gripped together and looking nervously towards a system screen that has a shrugging kaomoji, a thought bubble leads from him saying "System WTF". MQF with his hands folded down in front of him looks on in surprise. YQY with his hands behind this back, looking slightly on the verge of tears says "Uh, What do you have there Shen-Shidi?". LQG looks on in angry confusion with '???' next to his face. QQQ has one hand curled towards her chest and the other on her hip looking vaguely disgusted/judgy. The next part depicts SJ!Shen Qingqiu holding a baby Plant!Yuan swaddled in his teal outer robe, and holding a closed fan in the other hand replying to YGY with a blank expression by going "... A Fan." End ID.]

[ID: A Scum Villain MSPaint Doodle. Characters in chibi style. YGY rests his chin in his hands and his elbows on a table, crying with a pitiful expression and saying "I can't believe Xiao Jiu had a baby with someone else. MQF with a hand on YQY's shoulder as if comforting him replies "Okay Shixiong lets get you to bed" with another box pointing to him that states "Knows damn well that Shen Yuan is the spitting image of YQY" End ID]

"This is the only way we could have met" sounds like something out of a slash fic tagged with Doomed by the Narrative but it's a fucking. line Light Yagami says to L Lawliet in the official Death Note J-drama.

[so-very-small]

and shoutout to my fellow g/t creatives who are holding onto a really good story idea/OCs/comic/etc and desperately want to share it but are waiting for the story to be Ready. for it to be The Right Time. i am in the exact same position and i understand the struggle. i bet ur idea is rad as fuck and can’t wait to see it someday

OC x Canon Day 5: Steampunk / Cyberpunk

Turned it into a superhero and villain AU. Extravagant steampunk motifs are cool, but I think a more minimal/practical look would’ve suited Rollo. Plus, considering his strengths in gardening and potionology, I don’t think he’d be much of a mechanic. He’s an apron scientist to me 😔 Cloche is very much sponsored by S.T.Y.X.!
