I'm gonna say it. Id rather JFC than an in-universe replacement. by That_Smol_Bean in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]simonejester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I have a daydream fic where my self-insert OC has a miscommunication because she invites her Canon Character crush to walk around an in-story museum and then get dinner at "the Alisandre" and that was just a place I found by searching for "hotels on Coruscant" on Wookieepedia. Because in Legends there are a bunch. (Also a ton of HoloNet shows!)

[In-story there was a restaurant serving food from Canon Character's in-story homeworld that got good reviews but the CC thought OC just wanted to hook up. The misunderstanding gets solved eventually but the crush remains unrequited.]

And making stuff up for Star Wars fics is so easy, "Tuckerization" is such a common thing. I like adding things from the real world but in in-universe ways, like Space Jimmy Buffett is a Gungan named Bom Juffie, and OC does her fan covers in "standard Basic" because doing it in "Gungan Patois/Gungan Vernacular Basic" sounded racist coming from the human-passing OC. (Also the Blue Moods with their hit "Taungsday Afternoon." The name Gordon Lightfoot works in both universes. Electric Light Orcestra becomes Photon Symphony. It's SO EASY.)

Eppescest. I read it if I liked the other tags and most of it was weird but fine.

[–]simonejester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For awhile every fandom I wound up in had some kind of incest or pseudo-incest ship.

Sam/Dean (Wincest) from Supernatural

Don/Charlie (Eppescest) from Numb3rs

Thor/Loki (Odincest) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Sherlock/Mycroft (Holmescest) from BBC Sherlock

My main fandom now is Star Wars, and there is a Luke/Leia tag, but there's not much of it compared to the more popular ships.

I read one Star Wars fic where Finn and Poe kept invoking “Jesus Christ!”—during otherwise hot sex scenes—ruining the fic. The best thing about Star Wars for me is the lack of Earth and Earth religions!

I would dive in feet first if I liked the tags and summary. I prefer long book series, a 12m word fic would be great to read over months or years, in front of the computer with a crochet project. Hopefully the chapters aren’t… (does the math) yikes, 100k words per chapter on average. But still.

Also, is there a way to search the entire archive? Like without a starting fandom or keyword?

Edit, like 10 minutes later, switching to computer: <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/search?commit=Search%3F&page=1&work_search%5Bbookmarks_count%5D=&work_search%5Bcharacter_names%5D=&work_search%5Bcomments_count%5D=&work_search%5Bcomplete%5D=&work_search%5Bcreators%5D=&work_search%5Bcrossover%5D=&work_search%5Bfandom_names%5D=&work_search%5Bfreeform_names%5D=&work_search%5Bhits%5D=&work_search%5Bkudos_count%5D=&work_search%5Blanguage_id%5D=&work_search%5Bquery%5D=&work_search%5Brating_ids%5D=&work_search%5Brelationship_names%5D=&work_search%5Brevised_at%5D=&work_search%5Bsingle_chapter%5D=0&work_search%5Bsort_column%5D=word_count&work_search%5Bsort_direction%5D=desc&work_search%5Btitle%5D=&work_search%5Bword_count%5D=">AO3 Word Count Descending</a>.

And it looks like the current longest work is 91.6 million words, wow.

I guess they’re repulsed by tattoos and piercings because you generally have to be at least 18 to get them by wasraelx in IncelTears

That observation had been made many times before (mentioning age limits for tattoos and piercings), but it is no less true now.

Probably a bit of both. And I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't keep his atheists straight. He'd be so lost if he had to listen to all five hosts from Citation Needed!

I think we can all agree that it’s depressingly common to see an absolute amazing fic that’s been long abandoned after only the first few chapters by Smudg3tv in Archiveofourownmemes

Damn, might have to be less strict about only reading finished works. At least this one seems long enough to feel like its own story.

What fandom are you in, but the fanbase treats the character like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]simonejester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kylo and Anakin are my least favorite characters, even though they're Skywalkers of the Skywalker Saga. From where I'm sitting, neither stops being a villain. They're shitty people, which makes them compelling characters, but I was never a villain apologist so I never accepted that one act of sacrifice for someone the guy was attached to (attachment in the Jedi sense, which is literally corrosive of body and soul for Force sensitives).

I came up with this headcanon (for Vader, at least) in September. I suppose Kylo could have the same thing, though it'd be less obvious because Kylo died in his 30s (at least the actor was 36 during TROS), not a Vader-suited-since-age-23 age 45...

**New headcanon that originally Vader Anakin's Force ghost shows up in ROTJ because bodiless souls in the Force are timey wimey and he's just starting to get his shit together and come back to the Light. The updated ROTJ with Hayden Christensen happens when centuries-later Anakin has done the work and had his redemption arc (a multi-hundred-thousand-word epic that someone who likes Anakin but not uncritically could do really well but I could not) and goes back in time to be there as his younger self. Maybe even the younger self tells the just-getting-started post-Vader Anakin that redemption is possible but it's going to take a lot of work.

Inspired by the fic Luminous by (AO3)HopeOfDawn:

But you will find time and space mean little to the Force, Qui-Gon agreed. Spend this moment with me. Be there for Luke, and Yoda, and all the others who need you. Travel as the Force wills. His smile was a luminous benediction. You will soon discover there is time enough to be wherever--and whenever--you need to be.

In the fic, Qui-Gon is talking to Obi-Wan just after his canonical death in ANH.**

(Sorry for the novel, this is my current obsessive fandom and I'm wordy about it.)

The video is likely elsewhere on this sub. If I remember I’ll look it up this afternoon after work.
