paramedic/EMT dick is so good omg :o i hadn’t thought about that one
i have seen social worker dick which also felt really appropriate (also love that for jason) but!!! EMT actually feels like it works better to me???
thank u for putting that thought in my head~
ahhhhhhh!! i am so ecstatic i could put the thought of emt/paramedic!dick in your head hehehehe
paramedic!dick is so special to me<3 it very much i think hits what dick needs and wants out of his civilian life but also directly influences his vigilantism too
my main three takeaways are these:
it's a highly rewarding but deeply traumatizing career and it scratches his innate need to help people without violence & fear
it's a little bit more training than a police officer but i think covers a field of knowledge dick knows but doesn't know intimately like he does criminal justice or law. it would also benefit his "night" job to be more equipped to handle traumatic injuries
ems schedules are chaotic and all over the place especially if the garage is down a paramedic or ALS provider or just overall understaffed but the overall structure of it would be good for dick (if he can balance his work-vigilantism life healthily, depending on how you write him)

We, as a society, don’t talk enough about how Extra it was for Brian to run his fingers across Freddie’s sternum during the One Vision video. Honestly, what was the reason???

my very strong philosophy that i need to perceive my characters as real people in order to feel like i can write them at the depth a novel needs + i try to see expand my view of them as far as possible so they have a life an existence that a novel only snapshots a part of + this being a big part of my writers identity bc my relationship with my characters is very important to me is still very real but also very funny now because i've realised when it comes to short fiction i do not give a fuck like that. like i put everything into my characters bc i think making complex characters/relationships is my best skill but they are nothing but names to me (and i barely name my protagonists cause i just dont give a fuck if its not needed) and shadows reflecting an idea i thought was cool. like the way with novels i'll say felix and beau and dorothy are my best friends and they've just granted me access to their stories and i can't imagine how i'd go through life without thinking about them and their lives...then with short fiction the characters are just dolls that i throw out once i'm done with them

It might just be me but, while I understand a lot of people enjoy ‘fanon’ for a reason, I think when it’s pushed down people’s throats it’s very annoying and borderline delusional
I know it’s an old discussion that will never be resolved but for example: gender of a character
‘To me this character is xyz’ — like ok. But I still find it strange when it’s prefaced like that because the author/creator wrote a woman or man, or whatever. And people like to say they’re something else.
Obviously for fan fiction or HCs that’s totally fine that’s why these things exist. But to say it like it’s a fact that character A is gay when they’re not, and character A is clearly a woman (or man or whatever human) as the creator made them—I just. It’s annoying and it feels disrespectful to the author who made this character in the first place
Listen, as an example, Renee and Allison from aftg are straight. But a lot of fans ship them as a lesbian couple. And it’s whatever. But then someone starts attacking other fans for simply enjoying and saying what’s actually canon and not every damn character has to be queer just to satisfy the audience.
This rant came out of nowhere I just thought of this blog as it’s always discussing so many character thoughts and meta and I 💀
well we love to discussing character thoughts and meta on on this blog for sure!! i see your point, but i think fanon is unavoidable and the best thing i found to kind of not get riled by discussion like this is just disengage from fandom at large and focusing on groups of people who share your interpretation of a media or are chill about their headcanons.
you already brought up aftg and ngl i tend to struggle a lot with some fanon aspects while embracing others. it’s really just a matter of curating your experience. i think with aftg in particular canon is super lose if you don’t include the extra content (because it’s not directly tied to the books like in an addendum or anything). sooo if you look at it like this, technically renee and allison aren’t canonical straight or queer. in canon, their sexualities remain undefined which is probably why a lot of the fandom headcanons them as queer. so canon basically says nothing about that topic.… so who is right now? you see what i mean?? sooo much room for different fanons that all aren’t really canon. ofc you can take nora’s extra content into account, but i don’t think what’s outside of the book has to count for the canon text. it can if you want, but it doesn’t have to??? does that makes sense?? i also don’t think fanon is necessarily disrespectful to the author and their vision, but in extreme casea it might be… and some authors might be bothered while others couldn’t care less. but i think when you create something and put it out into the world people will always interact with it in a way that might sometimes be removed from that original vision.
it’s really just kind of on you to remove yourself from that if you don’t vibe with it. fanon will always be there one way or another…. you do you and find the people who do as you do and you’ll forget some fanon stuff even exist.

Tadashi really went “If this neurodivergent person keeps using his special interest as a coping mechanism in a way that interferes in his ability to participate in an ableist society I’m going to have to take the special interest away.” Bro what are you, an ABA therapist??

Your words of Kenji are beautiful, as truly, along with Kyouka, he has suffered loss so overwhelming that it renders him exhausted, and he is reminded of it every time someone he loves is harmed. And his cheerful demeanour is very genuine. It is portrayed as naïveté but the real Kenji Miyazawa wished for peace, and Kenji’s outlook upon suffering is that it should not happen to his loved ones...
exactly ! oh my stars above, exactly !
i also think about how he is robbed of so much. his family, his home, his best friend, even the right to eat whenever he feels hungry. and yet, he finds the world so beautiful, despite the horrors he has witnessed, the pain he’s been through, the new world with new people that he has to navigate. he is so strong and deserves to be told that somebody’s proud of him.
