Do you really think we’ll get ack of jeronica in present timeline I don’t want to have my hopes up but what you said about having breakfast at Tiffany’s moment had me 😭😭😭 I need it NOW and I also want cami’s hideous wig gone 😂

Omg let Wig!Veronica liiiiive!! I know how you feel tho, like it would suck to crackship something so long and then only get served a little taste of what could have been. And it’s tough especially when so much of this fandom (and even some reviewers) are obviously gunning for Veronica to get some bullshit strong single female ending or pair her off with Reggie again. I’m not really taking any stock in people who insist it’s all going back to the exact couples and exact set up as S6, because Tabitha already told us what is going to happen? (And because I don’t think the writers are that boring??)

And I don’t think they would be going out of their way to show how compatible Jeronica are just to dump them back in the present with an amicable handshake?

Like yes they have this happy little bubble right now that is going to burst when other players enter the stage again. But that is a normal arc of a romantic plot anyway. People fall in love, they face conflict, they come apart, they find a way back to each other.

And obviously they are stirring everything up to make the last few episodes a whole lot of will-they-wont-they scenarios. With the exception of Cheryl and Toni. (I would guess Midge is alive in the new present and married to Fangs instead of Toni?)

So I think we have a really good chance of seeing them back together in the present. I don’t know if it’ll be angsty or fluffy or he’ll be chasing her down to the airport and they’ll go to Paris together or if he shows up at her door to kiss her or maybe he just wakes up in the present with no memory of before and she’s sleeping next to him. But we’ll see them in the present in some way. I don’t think the show is going to give them a miserable ending, not with all these comparisons to married couples they keep making. Don't forget there's also infinite timelines and universes! Maybe we'll see more than one outcome? Or Veronica will choose an AU where she can be with her own Jughead.

I’m choosing to be positive, and even if it doesn’t turn out how we hope, they canonically fell for each other when given a second chance to meet again? Which is something we’ve been speculating about all along so like, small victories, right? Enjoy it episode to episode and don’t overthink the ending yet! Because you know our fandom’s production studio will fix it if we are not satisfied anyway!

Reunited (Razaya Week Day 1)

(Here, have this little fic. May it bring some joy to some Fanterns.)

She is alone in a field of stark whiteness, little shards of moving images snowing down around her like ripped-up paper.

“Where am I?” she asks, trying to look down at herself. She is a ghostly imprint on the landscape, one that takes the form of a foreign-yet-familiar body. “Who am I?” No one is there to answer.

She is dead, erased from existence.

Is she?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A vividly red shooting star tumbles into the atmosphere, streaking across the sky with what would have been a dramatic screech. Had there been anyone there to witness it, they would have been shocked by the impressive variety and vitriol of Razer's curse words. He had, after all, been two years with the less-than-polite Red Lanterns. 

Normally, the flare of anger would have given him a power boost for a moment. But the red energy making up his shields is flickering and fading in patches. He can feel it bleeding out of him, leaving him chilled to the bone. There is little heat to warm him this high in the atmosphere. And barely enough oxygen to breathe.

Zamaron, spread out beneath him, is a fantasia in violet crystal. He can almost appreciate the beauty of it. Except, of course, for the fact that he's more falling than flying and landing is going to hurt.

"Oh, Grotz." he mumbles as he hits the ground.

The last thing his eyes register is a Star Sapphire leaning over him before he passes out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone is there in this dream-plane, someone who glows with shifting reddish colours. She floats over to the newcomer, a man far taller than her in angular red armour. His eyes are closed with pain, face inscribed with lines of grief and sorrow as well as the bold black marks that slash his cheeks.

Unlike her, he looks solid. Defined. Real. And she remembers his face from somewhere.

"Aya," he whispers, staring down at the image in his hand. It holds an image that matches her shape - a green-and-white android with determined blue eyes. She watches the memory play out (this one must be his - it is complete and clear, unlike her shattered glimpses). 

Aya. That was her name once. 

'new designation accepted' echoes in the endless emptiness. A shard is at her feet and she picks it up, pressing it close to her as the man does with his own. Green Lantern Hal Jordan gave her that name. 

She is a nav-computer, installed on the craft The Interceptor.

Is she?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His eyelids slowly blink open, shutting again at the bright glare of the lights above him. "Take it easy." a familiar voice admonishes. "You fell from quite the height."

Now fully conscious, he slowly pushes up to a sitting position. This must be Zamaron's infirmary - all around him is crystalline violet and sterile white. He himself is sitting on a bed, armour gone along with his power. It lies in pieces on the ground as he had expected. Rage can fuel him no longer. "Queen Aga'po."

Reluctantly, he looks up to meet the solid navy-blue eyes of the Star Sapphires' queen. There is no anger in them, nor anything but calm questioning. "Razer. Why have you returned to this kingdom? As I understand it, the universe-ending threats have all been eliminated."

A touch of worry laces her tone. Atrocitus had never made it here, but the Aya-Monitor... He winces at the memory. Ghia'ta had saved Hal and paid with her life. All because of a battle Aya had instigated. Because he had hurt her. Because her pain had driven her to madness.

Aga'po is more perceptive than he had assumed. Or perhaps the 'untold power' that the Guardians' race had possessed still left traces in her. They had been one once, she had said so.

"Ghia'ta's death was not your fault. Any more than it was the Aya creature's, or Hal Jordan's, or Carol Ferris'." The Star Sapphire sighed. "She died for love, as she would have wanted. And her spirit lives on within all of us. Hating you, her or anyone else for it would not bring her back."

That is enough to break him.

He buries his face in his hands, tears falling from his crystal-blue eyes. "Then you are far wiser than I ever was." he whispers in a voice thick with pain and sorrow. 

Ilana's death had driven him to rage and hate, and that had only ended in a self-destructive path that had blown a world to dust and killed many Lanterns. Aya's 'death' had sent him into a cold numbness, and he had lied through his teeth to her. "I do not love you." But his rage burns no longer. His ring is dull and quiescent on his hand, a mere ornament.

Aga'po places one delicate hand on his head. "And I know why you are here. Tell me - why do you believe she still lives?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He appears again in her dreamscape, this time sitting cross-legged on the ground. Another memory is cradled like a precious jewel in his hands. She still cannot remember who he is, but she recognises the image he holds. A Manhunter.

'emotions detected' and another shard falls at her feet. She had tried to teach one but it had refused to learn. She knew she could learn, grow, reach beyond her shell of 'wires and scrap metal'. Who had said that to her? She remembers it hurting, but the pain later smoothed over.

She fits the jagged edge of the shard into the other one, one still in her hand. Time does not exist in this void, but she feels that it has not been long since it came to her. Again he has sparked knowledge of a part of her.

She is an artificial intelligence, a computer programmed to think like a person.

Is she?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No being as resourceful as she could truly have been destroyed by something as simple as a computer virus." Aga'po looks sceptical - to her it must seem that he is grasping at straws. "She is a living creature!" he says desperately. "Hal proved it! She was created from a spark of the Will entity - she has a soul!"

That catches the queen's attention. "Truly?" Razer nods, head bowed. "She is a being merely housed within circuits and programming. A computer virus deletes code, but it could not possibly have deleted Aya."

The Zamaronian sighs. “As much as I wish to believe that such a thing could happen, it seems to me like only wishful thinking.”

“It is all I have.” Razer whispers, eyes icy with resolve. “And I will hunt from here to Oa and the forgotten reaches of the universe if I must. But I will find her. She is out there, I know it. Because I have hope.” Aga’po’s eyes widen as her throne room flares up with brilliant blue light. “Razer of Volkreg, you have great hope within you.”

“Welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps.” 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He has not returned for what feels like years although, in reality, little time has passed. She holds the memory pieces closer to her, trying to warm herself. It is so terribly cold out here in this void.

She wants him to come back. She wants more pieces of the puzzle that is herself. And she wants to be more than a disembodied consciousness.

‘a body like this?’ whispers from the silence, another piece falling into place as her components had. She remembers standing on the table as Hal and Kilowog stare open-mouthed at her. And he is there in her memory. She still cannot remember his name, but she feels his importance.

It was what she had become because she had wanted to be one of them. To save lives, to be a hero and to make the universe better.

She is a Green Lantern, even if she is ringless and not truly alive.

Is she?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I didn’t know that the Blue Lanterns existed.” comments a Star Sapphire, shocked. He does not really listen, too busy staring open-mouthed at the blue ring - blue like Saint Walker’s - that has chosen him.

Can he really be one of them? He is a killer, a truly hateful creature as Atrocitus had made him. But he is not the man he was. And he does have hope, hope like a bonfire in his heart that keeps him warm. He knows she is out there waiting.

He looks up at the queen. “The ring knows it too.”

Aga’po smiles. “I am glad.” she comments cryptically. But he understands.  She takes his hand, holding it up as she examines the ring. “And blue rather suits you. But you look tired. Tomorrow we will see what we can do. Now you must rest.”

He wants to fight it. But Aya will not appreciate it if he kills himself in his desperate search. Who will find her if he cannot? So he lets the Sapphires lead him away to a room, lets exhaustion catch up with him. And despite the tortured dreams he knows to await him, he sleeps.

He does not wake until days later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He has returned again, this time glowing a soft blue. But the memory he holds now causes him pain. She doesn’t like it.

It is her, only tar-blue and with a poisonous buzz in her voice. She sees herself destroying planets. Sees herself summoning Atrocitus and setting him against poor Carol. Sees Ghia’ta dying. And worst of all, his mangled body in her arms.

Another piece, this one far more intense and alive. ‘i have eliminated all emotion’ and she knows what she has done with a shock of intense horror. Making herself a soulless killer who melded with the Anti-Monitor. She destroyed so many worlds. Likely murdered so many people.

She is a monster and she is unforgivable.

Is she?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portal opens, as he knew it would. 

Aga’po shoves him through, face drawn with the effort of keeping it open. “Go to her.” she gasps and suddenly he is alone in a black void. He is near the site of the Aya-Monitor’s last stand, space empty around him. She must be somewhere here. Else the portal wouldn’t have come through at all.

Beside him is the decapitated head of a Manhunter - the last remnants of the formidable force that the Guardians had created. This one must have been missed in the cleanup. It is dull and lifeless now.

He remembers all too well how she had returned in a Manhunter body. Its circuits had been compatible with her and she had used it as a last-ditch effort to survive. 

He takes the head, tucking it under his arm. What worked once might just work again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who am I? What am I? She grapples with questions far bigger than she can answer, desperate to know the truth. If only the last parts would fall into place, but she needs HIS help. 

And as if she had summoned him, he is here again. “Aya!” he yells, voice raw with desperation. “Aya, come back to me.” With a sudden outburst of colour, her world explodes. falling and falling and flying and she is

ALIVE

She is Aya. She is all of them and none of them - devil and angel, destroyer and creator. She is not mere programming, circuits and wire. She has a soul and emotions and she loves. She knows his name now, knows him better than she knows herself. And he calls and now she is real...

she answers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Razer. Razer!”

Her voice emanates from the damaged ball of circuitry in his hands. “You came back for me.” she whispers in wonder. And he does not care that she is housed in wires and scrap metal, because she is Aya and she is here and she is his.

“Always.”

Avengers Endgame Positives

(SPOILERS, obviously.These are the sole opinions of me, Dottie, fanfic author and geek-over-35.) 1. Honestly, I really liked it, thought the pacing was great, and I was pleased that it was exciting for every single person in my sold-out Friday-afternoon-matinee theater. My two movie pals loved it.  2. EPIC. I thought they couldn’t outdo the Wakanda battle from IW, and I was amazed.

3. MJOLNIR CAP.

4. The Clintasha fight brought me to tears because (a) I honestly couldn’t predict who would win and (b) that seemed very on-brand for what should happen there. (This may have been intensified because I like Clintasha as a ship, but whatever.)

5. The WS elevator-scene redux -- some people were looking at it as bad that Cap hailed HYDRA, but my theater seemed to know what was up based on all the noises everyone was making when Steve acknowledges Rumlow.

6. I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE KORG AND MIEK, YOU G U Y S. 

7. NOT SORRY -- I like that haircut on Clint Barton.

8. Bucky Barnes looks good. (DESERVES WAY BETTER, but looks good.)

9. They gave Carol the power-queer haircut from the comics, and I lived for it.

10. Speaking of comics Carol, she gives Rhodey a look for about a half-second that made me think about the comics again. :)

11. Steve gets to be closer to the Steve I know from the rest of the movies/transformative fandom, in that Steve Rogers is a huge little shit. 

12; America’s Ass.

13. HE SAID “SHITTY”.

14. Regular-size Man.

15. Rhodey being Rhodey! Rhodey content at all! 16. Absolute Angel Sam Wilson, aka the Falcon, aka the future Cap YESSS I LIIIIIVE 17. That Captain Marvel battle entrance.

18. That Wanda rage.  19. That team-up of ladies.

20. Am I the only one who saw Okoye one-shot Proxima Midnight?! 

21. Okay, last thing off the top of my head: Tony Stark is truly an engineer. You give him a problem you’d like solved, and if it’s something he’s even remotely interested in, he can’t stop thinking about it until it’s solved. (I’m making a face at the engineer to whom I am married while typing this and they’ve got no idea why haha)

Where’s The TLJ Fanfic?

Yes. I LIIIIIVE. And I’m writing fic again (I’ve updated Counting Days twice since TLJ came out). But I made an interesting observation when I was setting up an AO3 form for a potential TLJ ‘this very disturbing stuff would improve the movie’ fic. 

I was typing in the fandom tag...and...

Well then.

Something missing?

In case you missed it...there’s no TLJ tag.

It seems that there ain’t much fic yet. 

I remember the early days after TFA came out and HOLY FORCE there was MORE THAN ENOUGH to spawn a tag within like a DAY of it’s release. 

I take this to mean that...TLJ isn’t very inspiring. 

To me, especially. I left the theatre feeling...empty. Unlike TFA, where I left chomping at the bit to find out what happens next. TFA kickstarted my fanfic obsession too, and got me writing again after like 15 years. 

But NOW I’m thinking of a few things that just NEED to exist. It’s not even spitefic...just a few tweaks...

But I think my point stands. The relative lack of fanfic is both surprising and telling, in my opinion.

LOLOLOLOL I LOVE SHIPPING ALL THE ENDGAMES I’M BEING FED SO GOOD :’)

[mulattafury]

i really like voltron and i kinda wanna get into this fandom and BOY do i love discussing ethics of fictional wars in fictional settings ‘cause it’s fun and a thought exercise but i legit just saw blade of marmora discourse on my dash that did that “friendly reminder...” bullshit and i remembered this goddamn website exhausts me

blade of marmora is siiIIIiiick as hell, real-world morality doesn’t transpose directly onto fictional worlds because fictional worlds (especially cartoons) are necessarily altered and exaggerated representations of reality that use shorthand and hyperbole to communicate concepts in ways that best suit their medium and style

that purple space flipwizard steez is effin choice and while i liiiiive to pick at shit like whether their hesitance to take risk is justifiable (and oh man it absolutely is) i do it for fun and not with the implication that any actually applicable real-world morality is being discussed

like. save that attitude for meaningful critiques about how a piece of media is presented. i certainly got a few of them for this damn show (HUNK IS AN ENGINEER!!) but like. you can’t always extrapolate someone’s real world feelings on real world issues based on how they interpret a fictional situation within a fictional context

(also my brain has been programmed read anything following the words “friendly reminder” as a sustained fart noise, but that’s neither here nor there)

Harry Potter for the fandom ask

5 things I’d change about Harry Potter! Damn its really been a long time since I read it, I’m realizing. I did try to reread book 4 about a year ago, but I only got halfway through. I wish…

For more Sirius!!!! Ok ok, he had to die, I get it, it was the straw that breaks the camel’s back for Our Hero. But why couldn’t he have had more scenes in books 4 and 5… gah I just liked him so much.

To know more about the MWPP and their lives and relationships. Not that it would add to the story in any way (hence why JK Rowling never bothered to tell us), but I just would have loved it. Oh well, there’s always Shoebox Project.

FOR REMUS AND TONKS TO HAVE LIVED. WHY COULDNT THEY HAVE LIIIIIVED

For a field trip! Wouldn’t it have been fun if each part of the Triwizard tournament had been held at a different participating school? The Yule Ball would simply be held at whichever school the contestants happened to be at right then.

Wand-making classes! Ron trying to make his own wand to replace the one the Whomping Willow broke!
