#karmy is endgame

[leosabi]

okay you know what. here is my karmiro endgame: karmi realizes he’s transmasc. comes out to hiro, who reveals he is also transmasc and largely stealth. now they are t4t and able to bond over the shittiness of body changes you can’t control

Faking It Forever - Of Course Not, What Crazy Notions You Have...

[zutaralesbian]

Literally will always be bitter about Karmy. They had so many good tropes going for them. Slowburn. Fake dating. Best friends to lovers. Unrequited feelings that comes with an angsty confession but slowly becomes requited. Canonically gay!!!! And then the writers WASTED them.

[justsomeguycore]

faking it WAS not “good” BUT it was not worse than any other MTV series AND it had a cis gay guy and a trans guy date which i’ve never seen anywhere else. that said karmy should have been endgame

BH6 Season 6 Concept Art:

Karmiro

With the series end, it’s fun for us to think of different stories for the future. And for these two, I can’t help but think about their near future. A time when they are romantically involved with each other and there are no superhero secrets between them...

But the path to that would involve quite a fun journey for Hiro and Karmi to get closer, for them to fully realize what it means to be friends and the sharing of their feelings for each other. That alone is fun because these nerds are very much new to romance.

And then you have Hiro’s superhero identity and the possibility of Karmi wanting to join the fray. There are a lot of possibilities there on how these things can go.

Or at least that would probably be my endgame for a BH6TS fanfiction series that is aligned to be post-canon. Of course there are many narrative points along the way that would heavily involve other main characters and give them their due.

While I’ve been a bit too busy to even work on my current love child of Big Heroine Uno (the Uno reverse AU rewrite of the series). I do still very much want to write my own post-canon continuation fanfic series.

For both endeavors, I’ve been getting a lot of writers block... So this is a thought exercise on my part to think of the end in sight and see if I can work backwards. And artistically, I like to play on how these two might look in that end state.

Mischief...Managed?

So tomorrow, June 9th, the six-episode series Loki is going to start.  Taking place with the alternate continuity Loki that cropped up during Avengers: Endgame, it will follow him as he worked with the Time Variance Authority (TVA, and an actual comic thing as I found out today) as they try to preserve the timeline that I’m sure he’s going to screw up unintentionally. It’s the same length as Falcon and the Winter Soldier (six episodes), but a second second is apparently in pre-production, so it looks like they already plan on getting more out to us for Phase 4. Loki has grown into one of the most popular characters (antagonist or otherwise) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so it would make a ton of sense for Marvel to keep him in the spotlight with his own series.

He has also been a character that I’ve taken a passing interest in for the sake of (you guessed it) his visit to Fanfiction Land (TM). But of course, you guys can see the problem, right?

He’s a god. And I’ve been able to get away with putting Avengers and side characters from Marvel into my stories, but this isn’t just some normal character.  You’re crossing a pretty big line once someone like Loki gets thrown into the picture.

And I think the gods are interesting characters, just like normal human ones.

The conundrum is how you make them a part of the story without being the story, if that makes any sense.  God are...well...gods.  And even having one of them in a universe like Big Hero 6 would throw off the status quo.  This is a verse where, barring Boss Awesome, didn’t really have superheroes, much less people living in Rainbow Land lording over the people of the universe doing whatever they do.

So I had to draw a little inspiration from San Francisco proper. And that led me to discovering this: The Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue.

Yggdrasil is a volunteer-led rescue facility in the Oakland-San Francisco area that services, treats, and cares for injured wildlife.  They also deal with a lot of squirrels.

Now, who do we know that loves squirrels?

Not the person that dressed up as them or anything. So here’s the Big Hero 6 rub of it: Doreen is Karmi’s friend that she first meets working at Gramercy, Chef Bolton’s restaurant.  They meet, they become friends (mostly because Doreen forces her to be), and things progress.  After cameoing in Honey Lemon’s e-mail in Part Time (Chapter 5, “Honey Lemon and Fred Are In The Market”), she makes her first actual appearance during Hiro and Karmi’s “friend excursion” in Overnight (Chapter 6, “Candlelit”). Doreen also happens to be the only member of the Beta Team that hasn’t gotten their story yet.

But she will...because it’s going to involve her place of employment:

Time to make a quick stop to her boss's office.

“Mr. Laufeyson!  Mr. Laufeyson!”

The tall, lanky man sighed loudly as he turned his chair away from the screen and toward the newcomer.  “What is it, dear child?  Can't you see I'm busy?” “I know.  I just wanted to ask if I can take my break right now.” Doreen clapped her paws together.  “My friends are here and I want to give them a tour and allofthecoolfancythingsbeingavolunteerhere-” “What have I said about speaking haphazardly in here?” “...That if I don't breathe, my brain will turn to mush?” “Exactly.” The man slicked back his hair and motioned at the crowds of people on the cameras.  “It appears that you have done your rounds, so I don't see why you cannot-”

“Thanks, boss!”  Doreen leaned over and gave him a quick bear hug.  “I won't go far.  I'm going to go meet them in Jotunheim at Mount Winterfire.”

As she hightailed it out the door, the man smoothed out his shirt, returning his gaze back to his work.  “That girl is a handful and then some.  I do not know how you were able to tolerate her, brother...”

It’s a good thing that he had a regular name that can be reliably used, huh?

For those of you who may be confused by what Doreen is saying, Yggdrasill is the World Tree, connecting the Ten Realms (or Nine Worlds in Norse Mythology) together into one big happy family.  I thought it would be nice to make the Realms into areas of the Refuge.  For example, Jotunheim has all of the concessions and restaurants.  Niffleheim has all of the burrowing creatures.  And so on and so forth. The Marvel Wiki has two pictures that I draw inspiration from for the Big Hero 6 version of the Refuge:

It sort of goes into the image that I want; a giant, sprawling lobby with exhibits and rooms, all surrounding by the largest tree anyone has ever seen. It’s not the real Yggdrasil, but that won’t stop certain villains from wanting to claim it as their own. Roots Of Your Labor (the title of Doreen’s story) will start after the set of one-shots that I’m doing right now.  I want to get all of those out because the last of them (Artifact) will also touch on some subjects in Doreen’s story, but I’m not going to touch on that just yet. Now...if I could only draw buildings. Or giant trees. (By the way, just like Granville mentions in my stories, the real Yggdrasil is funded entirely on charitable donations, so if you would like to donate, you can go here, if you would like.)

Faking It

When its been over a year since season three started 😢😭

[daenrys]

@qrred I have a faking it musical that acts as a finale in my mind lololol

[karmiro]

The new ep was everything omg I literally felt like I couldn’t breathe when they were about to kiss (Karmi WHY, why try to kiss him if you were going to pull away at the last second, poor hiro 😫) but now that we know they both like each other officially, why do you think they brought up “what about Megan” twice? Does that mean Megan’s the real love interest or what because I personally didn’t understand the need to put that in there multiple times in a karmiro ep. I hope karmiro is endgame 😰

i felt the same way anon lmao. 

i think they brought up megan because... maybe... i know some people don’t want it to happen but... a very tiny small love triangle perhaps?? i don’t think it means megan is the “real love interest” or that she’s a big concern or enemy to karmi!! i think she’ll have her own sort of thing going on with hiro, not necessarily vindictive to any characters. and of course this season is more comedic, it's most likely not going to be some big drama, but rather just awkward but funny and adorable interactions.

big chibi 6 really established hiro and karmi’s crushes on each other, i don’t think the show would suddenly toss that out, and let’s not forget jamie chung said their relationship would blossom. i’m really hoping megan ends up as wingman to hiro and friend to karmi and that she teases both of them about their crushes hehehe

[tht-lesbian-fangirl]

Reamy had so much potential!!

RIGHT?! But then the show randomly made her biphobic (as I recall??) and that was the end of an adorable relationship. Like, if Karmy was never gonna be endgame, couldn't we at least have Reamy...

[zutaralesbian]

Remember when I thought Faking It was going to give me a slowburn best friends-to-lovers story line with Amy and Karma complete with the fake dating trope? But then they got canceled and the showrunner publically said that Karmy was never going to be endgame anyway lmao
