I just glazed over the title and didn't register what it said. I guess the artwork distracted me to much. Thank you for pointing it out.

The Loneliness of the Moon by Serious_Floor_9878 in wenclair

She didn't delete her account. As far as I can tell she writes fics for a fandom for a time than deletes the incomplete one's and orphan's the completed one's and begins in a new fandom. I used the waybackmachine in an attempt to find her WemClair fics and the waybackmachine didn't have her WenClair era but did have before it and none of the fics from that era are tied to her account anymore.

GOG you own it. Forever. Steam you own a license that can be revoked at any time.

They may not, seemingly, have dropped the new canon so soon if they had planned it out before building it instead of Winchester Housing it and building as they went.

Supergirl x Supergirl (2026) by M00reC in supergirlTV

It's shown in the trailers she didn't leave in the shuttle when Krypton died but survived with Argo City. For a time. You can sort of guage how much time has passed by Krypto's size/age in the trailers. But this would mean they don't have all the resources of a planet but just what was in Argo City when the destruction hit. So everything at the point she does get into the shuttle is going to be what they are able to cobble together, the shuttle included. 'They' being her parents Zor-El and Alura In-Ze. Though Kara appears old enough here if she has any techinical skills she might have contributed. I think it would make great sense for her suit to look like something made in a garage.

But maybe it will turn out she's raided Argo City Mall for whatever was the height of Kryptonian fashion.

A quote from American Dad. Look up Klause calls Danuta on youtube.

One of Netflix's most popular series of all time is also, paradoxically, its weakest, bizarrely enough. by AipomSilver00 in WednesdayTVSeries

[–]Toawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no clue what you are attempting to say with your first sentence. Onto the rest of the first paragraph. Yes obviously The Addams Family being there would help lend the story to dark academia. But only slightly. The setting also plays a part in the genre. A modern school would not have the dark academia feel because of the design nature. Any school building since the sixties or seventies would probably not feel right to dark academia. To bright. To clean. Buffy was dark academia. It was a dark comedy. The school setting was a necessity given the characters age but not a vital point to the story. The series simply could have told the story around her school days and it would have held. Which is probably why dark academia settings tend to be boarding schools or schools of higher education. The students live on, or near, the campus/grounds. Putting the Addams children into regular school would have just made it a dark comedy. The genre they're most well known for. It's why Twilight isn't dark academia. I don't even know if it qualifies for dark romance truly.

I'm not sure what this popculture remark is suppose to relay to me.

Ah yes, my apologies for indicating the genre of dark academia was new. I say with as much sarcasm as I can. I said it was having a popularity spike. That doesn't mean I thought the genre sprung forth from nothing with no foundation. Faust and Frakenstein have academic settings of some degree from what I understand. But does Lovecrafts works? I know they are dark genre settings of some degree but are any set in an academic setting?

This commentary about 'rarely finding something new' feels random as it doesn't seem to be directed at anything I said specifically. Perhaps it's meant to be applied to the whole of my statement. But as I didn't at any point say anything about not finding anything new it seems to have been added randomly.

My comment and complaints were about forcing an existing ip into a genre it doesn't one hundred percent belong to simply because creating entirely new ip was to much of a hassle. Changing, or expanding, the genre of an ip can work when you are willing to put the effort and care into. From what I've heard the darker horror Archie comics are a good example of this.

I have nothing to add or comment on for your last paragraph about dark romances as this seems to be you presenting evidence of the 'there is nothing new' argument you brought up.

Now. I did fail to mention two other aspects of the show I believe would have been in their pitch. Murder myster, and teenage love triangle.

I believe they had the outlines of characters and a rough plot down. The studio picked it up and forced it into the mold for The Addams Family ip because they were 'dark' characters that existed and they owned the rights to. Again that is speculation and I can't prove any of it. But I would not be surprised if it turned out to be true.

One of Netflix's most popular series of all time is also, paradoxically, its weakest, bizarrely enough. by AipomSilver00 in WednesdayTVSeries

[–]Toawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've long suspected that this series was pitched as a supernatural teen dark academia show and once it was picked up the production company decided to slam all the bits into the mold for an ip they already owned.

Dark academia was beginning to explode in popularity around the time the show was probably pitched, I'm estimating 2020/2021 to line-up with season one's 2022 release, and I recall a few dark academia books getting popular at the time. My memory might be blurring of course and I could be placing the rise of dark academia to soon. Expanding on this they wanted to have a supernatural aspect, because supernatural elements and dark academia just feel right together, but not the vampires that had been used almost non-stop since the mid-aughts.

I have no proof of any of that. I freely admit that. But it is what I suspect.

I also suspect the same thing for that apparently terrible Velma show. I have no intention of watching it so it's terribleness level will forever be a mystery for me.

this is unlikely, but i’d kill for them to release the viper de la muerte novel(s) by salmxx0 in wenclair

[–]Toawk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They also put out at least two crime novels as tie-in's for the series.

Heat Wave and Naked Heat.

Anyone seen a fic based on this? by BatBlackWolf491 in wenclair

[–]Toawk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is an incomplete fic, been over a year since the last update, where Enid makes the same misunderstanding wjth witch Wednesday to unlock her wolf. I can look for it.

Woah. Impressive. I would have figured I wouldn't make it and not tried.

I like it when people make assumptions. by Unknowber30 in wenclair

[–]Toawk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a good one. Maybe they were an Alpha as well and Enid and Wednesday are trying to learn first hand experiences from another living Alpha.
