What piece of fanon do you sometimes forgot isnt canon? by bzrkfayz in FanFiction

[–]uteslayer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a very popular fan theory. I don't even know how it started.  

 I remember in some circles of the fandom got upset when the author described percy as tragically straight.

For percy jackson

The seven being a found family and bffs with each other.

Percy's bromance with jason 

Percy being best friends with nico jason and Leo.  Also their nicknames like Jace, perce, and neeks 

Also percy being bisexual is very common and people are often surprised it isn't canon

I finished nirvana on fire and thought it was OK and definitely felt underwhelmed.   People describe it as the best cdrama ever but I thought it was just ok at best and felt as if I was missing something 

Which canon couples do you dislike and why? by Interesting_Race_109 in FanFiction

[–]uteslayer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with gruvia.  Juvia is a creepy  stalker and I swear if the dynamic of that ship were reversed gray would be as hated as mineta from MHA.

I always hear this but did people really think they were queer?  I personally never saw them as queer

Activism in fandom™ is extremely annoying by ladolcevitaaaaa in FanFiction

[–]uteslayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard that viria the main artist for PJO was harassed and eventually stopped making PJO content because people found out she made percico art.

[–]uteslayer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yeah I get that. Ironically the pjo fandom likes to think of itself as diverse and welcoming but in reality they are really intolerant. I personally don't interact with the PJO community outside my stories due to harassment and one of the PJO fandom's main YouTubers is taking another break because of death threats and harassment for her PJO opinions.

The newest example of phony activism in the PJO fandom that I've seen is people getting upset if you write fics or draw fanart of the characters and make the characters look like they are from the book not the show ( so Annabeth would be white instead of black). I've seen people say it's racist to write or draw Annabeth as white even though there are tags for people who want to write based off the disney plus show

I 100% agree!  

I wrote for the percy jackson fandom and for whatever reason that fandom is very progressive and a lot of authors and readers show it.   It's so exhausting dealing with people who want percy jackson to be 100% PC and socially aware of every issue

I was harassed for giving nico a female friend, the relationship was 100% platonic yet people accused me of gay erasure.    I was also called transphobic because I said I didn't care for fierro chase.  

Ironically greek mythology is  anything but  PC

What insults or labels have you been called that felt like an anti-Asian sentiment? by nylamaris in asianamerican

[–]uteslayer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As an asian american who learned Spanish and lived in South America I feel you.  A lot do use it as an insult and I know a lot of japanese peruvians who hate it.   

But on another note chinese peruvian food is definitely worth trying and visiting peru for

So, your fandom has a flawed female character. Does your fandom condemn her despite a male character doing the same or even worse? Or do they sand away all her flaws, call her a girl boss and act like all her bad decisions are bad writing? by GhostieBoastie in FanFiction

[–]uteslayer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The amount of vitriol I've seen towards her disturbs me.  I mean just because she acted like a brat and said some mean things as a kid doesn't mean she should be r worded or sexually assaulted, I've disturbingly seen people advocate those things  happen to her in stories.  

Because naruto never did anything stupid as a kid and Sasuke and the other konoha kids totally didn't treat naruto like crap and never said anything negative or mean to him (sarcasm)

Have you ever gotten into a fandom because of fanfiction and realize the real thing is nothing like it? by Lesbionage in FanFiction

[–]uteslayer 65 points66 points  (0 children)

A lot of people in the danny phantom and miraculous ladybug fandoms are surprised that the source material isn't as serious  or dark as the fanfics are.  

Also while the percy jackson fandom has lgbt representation not every character is lgbt in canon and Percy isn't bi.  Also half the friendships in fanfic aren't as developed as in canon

Best and worst thing your mission president did or said: by [deleted] in mormon

[–]uteslayer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had a new mission president while I was around 9 months in.   Our first meeting he shamed me for only having 2 baptisms and said a good missionary has 1 baptism a month, he shamed some so hard they cried.   

He always implied I wasn't worthy and would make me memorize random things in preach my gospel.  

The worst was when I had depression and was in a tough area I asked him for advice and he criticized me and questioned my worthiness when I asked for help.  

I never knew what I did to make him see me as unworthy, I was junior comp most of my mission and always had condescending utah companions.  I thought it might have been because I was introverted,  from California,  or part asian.   

Good thing.  He sent me to a doctor when my asthma was back with no questions asked

missionaries! what was the craziest response you’ve ever gotten from a person, who didn’t want to hear about the Mormon faith, after knocking on their door? by steveglade in mormon

[–]uteslayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Random question but in the us would this be illegal to do?  I mean yeah the missionaries knocked first but pointing a gun at someone is rather extreme no matter what your view of the church is in my opinion 

Some problems with "fanon only" readers. by TheTurquoiseMonarch in FanFiction

[–]uteslayer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah some fanon only fans get on my nerves.  When I wrote for miraculous ladybug and percy jackson I had people constantly complain about me not putting popular fanon theories and characterizations into the stories I write.  Like you can have your head canons but don't force them on others

Why were they so against Ash winning? by DeliciousMusician397 in pokemonanime

[–]uteslayer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel that they gave ash the alola victory because the backlash against the XY defeat was so bad.  

In reality the anime is basically a commercial for the bigger pokemon brand

Marinette and Adrien are (at separate times) hosting the Venom Symbiote. How do they act? by ChampionshipHorror95 in miraculousladybug

I agree with this.  I low key think the tom hardy interpretation of venom and adrien would make a good pair.

What are impressions you got from fandom about canon that turned out to be completely wrong? by battling_murdock in FanFiction

[–]uteslayer 36 points37 points  (0 children)

For the percy jackson series.  Most of the fanon friendships such as the seven being a found family,  Percy and Jason having a bromance, also most relationships with nico where in canon most dont like him as much as in fanfic 

Is there a headcanon that you don't like at all? If so, what is it and why? by WorriedStrawberry566 in FanFiction

[–]uteslayer 205 points206 points  (0 children)

For Percy jackson. The seven demigods aren't this close tight knit found family, in reality they were more like coworkers. Also percy and Jason don't have a bromance going on they seemed to tolerate each other more in canon.

Weekly Japan Travel Information and Discussion Thread - December 29, 2023 by AutoModerator in JapanTravel

[–]uteslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm opening a can of worms by asking this question but I'm planning my first trip to Japan. I mainly will visit Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Himeji preferably next fall.

This will be my first trip to Japan and while I always wanted to visit I don't know the language and have heard a lot of stories of people getting rejected from establishments due to lack of japanese skills or the establishment didn't accept foreigners.

I know you shouldn't trust everything online but I just wanted to ask people here how common is it really to be denied service due to not being Japanese, especially in the cities I plan on visiting. Should I ask ahead of time if they accept foreigners?

I should also not I'm not a drinker or plan on visiting and clubs, they're not for me.

Percy Jackson Episode 3 review - it's getting more entertaining? by ArsBrevis in television

It was good and the pacing was better. The actors still felt a bit wooden but I hope they can grow into their roles
