i think it’s funny when people write fics that reference even the most mundane pop culture things, especially when the world is supposed to be “different” because. do you know how much of the world would have to be exactly the same as it is now in order for those things to happen. ESPECIALLY with music. like for example when voltron authors make keith an mcr fan, like i agree and that’s correct but also then i can’t stop thinking about how 9/11 absolutely happened in that universe. do we need to traumatize gerard way in every universe to give our characters good music taste?
