Have I mentioned lately that creating AUs is the most fun thing ever? You get to take a story you love and then mash it against another type of story you love and fit all their pieces together like they're a jigsaw puzzle. You get to find all the unexpected points of similarity where the stories fit together really well, and see the places where their differences change and make commentary on the original stories/genres in really interesting ways.

And then once you fit the pieces together, you get to look at the new world you've made and see how these characters in this specific world have different conflicts and explore new themes, and you get to play with another level of puzzles as you figure out what this means for this story.

It's the most fun ever. It's my favorite game.

since I'm just speaking into the open air abt my reduction recovery, I'll do that again some more today--- I AM SO SO VERY TIRED. my pain levels are pretty okay!! I'm keeping up on my pain meds also, but I'm just taking the basic, otc stuff. the pill guzzling is Real though. they've got me on fuckin. 7 diff types of non-optional pills. (optional being the ones to treat pain). I've got muscle relaxers but I'm not really dipping into them.

anyway, once again, I'm not high on the pain scale. but the EXHAUSTION. I'm dizzy so much of the time. I slept for 12 hours and then still felt tired all day. I've been informed I'm ghostly white, like a little dying victorian boy. body's obviously clocking some hours here.

Angsty Neanderthal teenager and his blind little sister. I gave them names but I'm too timid to share yet lol. I'm developing their story arc far more than the main character's 😳 they took over my mind ever since I thought of them existing.

longtime dc fan and i think a lot of people are angry because alex is obviously one of the most culturally relevant instances of misogyny in media. that being said being more culturally relevant doesn’t mean it’s the worst instance of misogyny and i think bumble definitely experiences more profound misogyny in the way the actual content is presented, if that makes sense

I get you, and that's a charitable way of looking at it.

I think what's rustling my jimmies is that like, there was a couple of WC fans being mildly dismissive of Alex in that note minefield, after dozens of comments of "fuck you how could you let the fridge woman lose" and "Bumble didn't deserve to win ANY rounds" and "how could A CAT experience misogyny." But then WE get blamed for the toxicity because THEY were butthurt that the Funny Cat People have the 'audacity' to win something they feel entitled to.

Like, we've gotta be endlessly charitable as we get openly insulted because they're upset about Alex losing, a very well-known and culturally relevant character with a legacy so massive we have a whole term named after her. But condemnations of "She's just a cat, letting WC into this poll was a mistake, Bumble can't even be a victim of misogyny" only started coming around once I started talking about it.

as if it's OUR fault people got passive-aggressive or even OPENLY aggressive towards us, and that we're "just as bad" for retaliating

But like you said, it's not a "Most Culturally Relevant Misogyny" tournament, it's a "Canon Misogyny Victims" tournament. And you're not even supposed to give a shit that Bumble died. The fat, woman abuse victim is beaten to death by a dictator, and your takeaway is meant to be, "It's so sad that Clear Sky is being blamed for murdering her, now they're all preparing for self-defense against a homicidal maniac, oh nooo :("

And I think that DOES make her deserve the win here! Alex is a MARTYR. Everyone with a brain agrees what happens to her is bad. It happened in her canon because it was bad. We talk about her and keep her memory alive. Bumble gets dismissed entirely out of hand because she's "just a cat in a kid's book" as if that doesn't make it worse, and as if the kid's book didn't treat a domestic abuse survivor like a moron for even asking for help.

Anyway, just to reiterate, I love DC fans. It's not all of you guys. Alex was done dirty and deserves justice-- and it's even kind of a shame that all she became is "The Fridge Woman." I haven't even heard people talk about how she was a wary, responsible person who was still ready to rock with Kyle's new weird glowstick powers, or that she was a journalist, or that she just got brought back in another edition as a Green Lantern only to be revealed as an illusion and re-absorbed back into Kyle's mind. Nope. Even her fans just remember her as The Fridge Woman.

theres this random cis queer youtuber i follow that makes music and queer content (jesse paege!) and she has this series about dating men vs dating women and its all like "these men r horrible and all the girls r friends with their exes" and it just does not apply to me bc im trans and t4t, its so cisnormative. which is fine but im petitioning her to make a trans version where all the trans guys r emotionally unavailable and lead u on and all the trans girls are secretly polyamorous but are gonna wait to tell u until like after theyre dating u

Yuu is most obviously themed around a unicorn, but I think you could compare her to a kelpie, too.

The kelpie usually takes the form of a grey, black, or white horse standing near a body of water, and acts sweet and even-tempered to lull people into riding or petting it. But once they do, they find themselves stuck to its fur or ensnared by its mane. With its victim unable to escape, the kelpie takes to the water, diving into the abyss to drown and devour them.

The kelpie's behavior fits with how pre-contract Yuu saw herself as a twisted, deceitful person who was only pretending to be kind, and how she used to have (somewhat unwanted) thoughts about dragging Kei down into the depths with her, away from everything else. And much like how kelpies bind themselves to their riders to drown them, Yuu and Kei tied themselves together with a ribbon before throwing themselves into the sea-- with Yuu, the "kelpie", being the only one to come out of the water alive.

It could be a coincidence, but I thought it was neat anyway! 🐴 Giving Yuu an equine-themed outfit and doppel was an excellent choice from a thematic perspective.
