ESOUL CAN GO CHOKE IN A DITCH FOR ALL I CARE

[fowlfics]

i dont like it when the task avoidance gets to the scary part

[fowlfics]

were up to THREE PAGES worth of fics in the TBHX fandom and yet we're STILL NOT CANONIZED

(btw there's a collection to help with the sorting/filtering the existing fics; there's about a third of currently existing ones in there)

what are the tag wranglers waiting for 😭

[fowlfics]

Don't wait to write. Just start.

Don’t wait until your idea feels “good enough” to start writing. There is no such this as the perfect idea, or the perfect time.

The best stories often begin as messy, uncertain thoughts. Just a note in the margin of a notebook.

Start before you’re ready. The process of writing is how you figure out what you’re really trying to say. Clarity comes through the process, not before it.

[fowlfics]

I need to see more flashback scenes with these two SO. BAD. genuinely any interaction with og nice and wreck pls pls pls

[fowlfics]

perhaps that month-long sabattical when miss j put him on housearrest with moon affected his ranking xDDD

interesting wording at the end of the episode. "the hero Nice, who had been gaining rapidly in popularity, has announced that he will officially aim for top 10 in the hero rankings"

So he isn't in the top 10? Is it a translation error? I mean, the 10th hero is the one in between everyone else and the big guys so I wouldn't be surprised if they faced the same amount if not more threats to their position than X.

And that incident at the start of episode 2 mentioning hero Smile, who from this PV we know fought and lost to X in a previous championship, but notably is not in the current top 10. He must've been pushed out after his loss. In fact, I'm pretty sure we see a billboard of him that is shattered-looking in the very first scene of episode 1 in the bg of when Lin Ling is presenting the ad to his boss. Did Hero Smile try to do something to Nice to get the position of top 10 back?

Plus, the two are thematically similar, with Nice saying he will "protect every perfect smile" and Smile being...that. There might be a deeper relation there...perhaps they were both manufactured heroes.

[fowlfics]

Nice lives au where Lin ling saved his life by talking him out of suicide and Lin ling became Nice's "emotional support civilian"

Ms. J: what the-? Nice you cant bring a civilian here?!

Nice: this is my emotional support civilian if you take him i will kill myself

TBHX AO3 Collection

Hi there! Have you written a story or posted some other kind of work for TBHX fandom on AO3? Are you also impatiently awaiting the moment the tag gets canonized so that you could sort and filter the works to your preferences?

I've already sent a message to AO3 support, but while they canonized another fandom I've also mentioned in that message, they hadn't gotten around to TBHX just yet.

In the meantime, I have created a collection to work around the limitations of an uncategorized fandom tag!

It's called "TBHX for filtering until we're canonical" and it's open; You can add your works to it by going Edit Work > Associations > Post to Collections/Challenges > "tbhx" - if you have any issues with that but still want your work in the collection, let me know and I'll invite it in from my end!

For readers: feel free to use it to find stories to read and art to engage with! You can Sort by all usual criteria; You can use the "More Options" filters (Crossovers, Completion Status, Word Count, Date Updated, Language). While the Character, Relationship and Fandom-related tags aren't filterable (since they're not canonical yet either) you can put names in the "Search Within Results" field, and it should help narrow down the works you want to see!

Under the cut there's a list of currently used tags for easy copy-paste (going by the majority use amongst the currently-posted 40 works or wrangling guidelines); If you write TBHX stories, please consider using those to try and match until we get official tags!

Fandom: 凸变英雄X | To Be Hero X

Characters (the letter used for alphabetising for tag wrangling purposes is highlighted):

Ahu (To Be Hero X) - Big Johnny (To Be Hero X) - Dragon Boy (To Be Hero X) - Enlighter (To Be Hero X) - E-Soul (To Be Hero X) - Lin Ling | Nice (To Be Hero X) - Little Johnny (To Be Hero X) - Loli (To Be Hero X) - Lucky Cyan (To Be Hero X) - Miss J (To Be Hero X) - Moon (To Be Hero X) - Mo Sha | Ghostblade (To Be Hero X) - Original Nice (To Be Hero X) - Queen (To Be Hero X) - Wreck (To Be Hero X) - X (To Be Hero X)

Relationships: (these don't go strictly by the usage but rather by the wrangling guidelines: characters listed in alphabetical order by the name before the pipe [|] and generally following the rules listed here)

Dragon Boy & Lin Ling | Nice (To Be Hero X)

Dragon Boy & Lucky Cyan (To Be Hero X)

Enlighter/Lin Ling | Nice (To Be Hero X)

Lin Ling | Nice & Moon (To Be Hero X)

Lin Ling | Nice & Original Nice (To Be Hero X)

Lin Ling | Nice & X (To Be Hero X)

Lin Ling | Nice/Moon (To Be Hero X)

Lin Ling | Nice/Original Nice (To Be Hero X)

Moon & Original Nice (To Be Hero X)

Moon/Original Nice (To Be Hero X)

Original Nice & Wreck (To Be Hero X)

Original Nice/Wreck (To Be Hero X)

For any other relationships: Remember that they go in alphabetical order, with the fandom disambiguation at the end. It won't really matter once the tag wranglers get the fandom tags sorted bc then they'll link any variations to the canonical tag, but the consistency might be worth it in the meantime.

And just for fun, here's a list of some common freeforms:

Lin Ling | Nice Needs A Break (To Be Hero X) - Lin Ling | Nice Needs A Hug (To Be Hero X) - Mo Sha Needs a Hug (To Be Hero X) - Moon Deserved Better (To Be Hero X) - Moon Needs A Hug (To Be Hero X) - Nice Needs a Break (To Be Hero X) - Nice Needs a Hug (To Be Hero X) - Big Johnny Can Purr (To Be Hero X) - Dragon Boy Being Dragon Boy (To Be Hero X) - Hero Tower (To Be Hero X) - Insecure Nice (To Be Hero X) - Little Johnny Is A Ray Of Sunshine (To Be Hero X) - Nice Lives (To Be Hero X) - Top Ten As Found Family (To Be Hero X) - POV Lin Ling | Nice (To Be Hero X) - POV The Enlighter (To Be Hero X) - POV Wreck (To Be Hero X)

And some funnier in-tag commentary xD :

The classic: No beta we die like OG Nice did. RIP king you were there for 3 minutes

On canon divergence: Because we didn't even get to canon before it diverged - but there's no canon and the divergence is me making it the fuck up - We barely even have a canon and I'm uncomplying with it

On the Doomed Yaoi: Haolin needs to stop dooming my ships, Is it gay to save someone from suicide?, these gays needs to get out of my head, Wreck is a Wreck, wreck yearning kills me

The iconic: Freeing oneself from capitalism, FUCK TREEMAN, rip twink 4/5/25-4/5/25, the inherent catastrophy that is becoming a hero

And of course the plight that connects us all: I hope tbhx will get it's own tags soon😔, Written before Tag Canonization

Anycase: of course no one needs to use those tags or add works to the collection. We'll get canonized sooner or later and it won't matter then (but my friend did have to wait half a year for that to happen, hence why I bothered with that initiative). And also this is the intersection of my three major interests: AO3 tags, spreadsheet data manipulation and TBHX, so I'm using the non-canonical tag status as an excuse to yap about it xD

✨CONTRIBUTOR PREVIEWS✨

Another day, another preview featuring the one and only @fowlfics ! ✨

[fowlfics]

LOL THANK YOU TBHX xD

Do not stand at my grave and weep

hey, so..... To Be Hero X...... fic time.....

Length: 855 words

Summary:

Could it be that the hero was just as lonely as Lin Ling himself? Different problems, the same dissatisfaction with his life? Why else would he have so nonchalantly walked off to his death on the same day, the same roof, as Lin Ling had planned to do? Sometimes Lin Ling wished he could talk to the real Nice, to pick his brain about all this hero stuff, about how to best be him. But if he could have done that, there would have been no need for him to pretend in the first place.

Kabosu did not deserve to have her image turned into cryptocurrency. She did not deserve to have the meme she was known for across the world to become a code word for a fascist coup.

Her name is Kabosu. Not Doge.
