Why did you want iceberg to survive? /genq

I honestly saw the Snow White story in them but slightly altered among other things

Neptune being the prince with his last name means "Royalty" or "Kingliness" not to mention his brother is named Jupiter aka "Jove" who in medieval cosmology is the best planet, the planet that represent Royalty, Jollity, and and Magnanimity(in fact my AU takes cues from CS Lewis' works having Jovial themes)

But however unlike like the Prince in the fairy tales, he's not mister perfect, he's probably not rich(though in my au his family does own a relatively successful fishing company in his town), he stumbles, he's insecure, and seeing a higher class individual like Weiss, he feels ultimately out of his league, but Weiss tells him thats not why she likes him but rather his kindness and intelligence, and he tries his damnedest to do better and learns from his mistakes. Even pushing himself to overcome his hydrophobia for her sake.

I think a common misconception about some people not liking 40k is because “you just want a progressive 40k”

Now I don't know how many I speak for,

but I want something akin to Space-Tolkien with over-the-top tech, military, and cool designs of 40k(not a carbon copy mind you, just the basic influences with a different spin.) with a clear line of Good and Evil and speaking as a Catholic, a Big G God and space Angels against Space Morgoth.

Yeah, there’s Star Wars, but people are very picky. And Star Wars doesn’t cut it for some people.

And it gets really annoying getting shoved into that or Star Trek and told to just shut up and be content with that.

Which is why I’ve been conceptualizing that very idea in one of my fictional universes which has been enhanced by reading CS Lewis' Ransom Trilogy, I’ll post about it someday.

Its kinda like warhammer 40k but with alliances vs alliances with various "punk" aesthetics with elements of Tolkien, Narnia, and pulp.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

I’m flattered!😄

I know Alice is asexual

But P/Carlo’s chest is big and broad and she feels secure nuzzling it so it would still look kinda like this minus the degeneracy:

Alice likes his bewbs because she feels secure, ya’ll just want him for sinful things

You are not the same.

Happy ‘Murica Day!

Fandom Woes: Why people are writing AUs and the scam of “being original”

Many objections I have noticed of reimagined AUs(such as RWBY) is how "they don't resemble the property" and should be "their own thing", and the movie Across The Spider-Verse with the whole Spider-Men AUs and the criticism of multiverses in general.

Speaking from personal experience, there's a reason why they don't make their own thing. It's often because literary snobs have set these people up into a conundrum.

If you make a reimagined AU, they go out of their way to lecture "this does not resemble this thing anymore, make it its own thing."

And if you tweak it, the character and world designs, the names, anything to make it its own thing...

The snobs use greedy reductionism/nothing buttery to reduce it down to the inspirations and influences, especially when it came from a place of distaste and disagreement, and call it "derivative" and "butthurt thinly veiled fan fiction." and tell you to use different source material and "learn to be more original."

The snobs won't let you win.

So if you just keep trying to be “original” and you let these people define what that entails, your just letting others manipulate your creativity and your just dancing around for them like a monkey

You make an reimagined AU, its no longer "recognizable" and you get criticized

You make it its own thing, the inspirations, influences, and motives are pointed out and deemed "derivative" so you also get criticized

You're going to get criticized either way, so you might as well make a choice and stick with it.

And what's more infuriating is these sophists are guilty of hypocrisy

Let me give a personal example with the success of Kamen America, a superheroine I've come to love

She was created as an active disagreement how Captain Marvel was handled, combined with other elements such as Sailor Moon and various Tokusatsu

Once she gained popularity along with her Kamen Corps, many starting bashing her as a "porno captain marvel rip-off" because the creators dared to actively disagree with how a concept was handled, and I was lectured for my concept being "hostile" to RWBY which was born out my disagreement and distaste how its characters and ideas were handled

Yet these very people would be supporting the Evil Superman concept like Homelander and other characters of The Boys

and the Anti-Narnian His Dark Materials Trilogy, the former written by a guy who hates superheroes, and the latter a staunch atheist who can't stand CS Lewis and Christianity

Both who have said things about both subjects that are the textbook definition of "hostile" and yet nobody bats an eye.

Because its not wrong when "the right people" do it towards "the wrong things"

And the excuse they snobs say because these make the concepts objectively "more interesting" backed up with a whole "we-know-better-than-you" attitude which is leading me to hate that word "interesting"

The "Right People" can do whatever they want, but us "Wrong People" gotta follow all these rules and only have what the "Right People" tell us what we can have, how we create, and what we enjoy.

Then they turn around and lecture you about being "entitled" when the only thing your often guilty of being "entitled" to is your opinions and feelings, which last time I checked, people are entitled to.
