And just remember that behind every beautifully rendered drawing of Kirk and Spock fighting to the death on Vulcan under a bright orange sky, there's a McCoy standing off to the side, experiencing a heart rate believed impossible to achieve in humans up until that point

Love being reminded that Geralt is the character of all time. He’s a horse girl. He’s a girl dad. Before he went out on the path he gave himself 5 names to seem more like a knight but everyone bullied him about it so he settled for being called “of Rivia” even though he was not from Rivia and had only been there once after he’d become a Witcher. He’s constantly bullied by everyone around him because he’s an idiot. His two best friends are a bard and an elderly higher vampire who doesn’t drink human blood because the last time he did he got so drunk on it he flew directly into a building. He names every horse he owns Roach and always picks chestnut mares. He’s centuries old and didn’t know about periods until he got Ciri and he and the other Witchers got chewed out by a sorceress for not knowing what periods were

Featured Article: Merpeople

This week’s Featured Article is Merpeople! As the name suggests, this popular fandom AU trope involves turning a character into a merperson, or having a character meet a merperson.

It can be done for humorous crack or for serious angst (i.e. based on the Hans Christian Andersen story). Like in the fairy tale, often only one character is a mermaid/merman, so the different habitat and fish-like lower body present compatibility challenges. One popular merpeople event is MerMay, which happens every May.

Are you a fan of merpeople? Add your favorite merpeople fanworks to Fanlore!
