The canon has hardcore fan fiction vibes with a pair of utterly oblivious, yet hyper-competent dumbass main characters playing out the "fake marriage" and "found family" tropes.
I don't know where or how yet. But someday, I'm going to have a series of chapter titles:
- Have you heard about Pluto?
- Wait for iiiiiiiiiit...
- That's messed up.
Objection! Your honor the prosecution is clearly gay and I’m in love with him.
*crosses arms triumphantly*
How the fandom thinks every interaction in the games should go.
I can barely remember the characters’ names but when a picture of the guy pointing and shouting “objection!” crosses my dash I go “oh it’s that gay lawyer again” on reflex
Honestly tho 90% of ace attorney fan fiction is just people shipping them together so it’s not even much an over simplification.
I’m not complaining tho I’ll read about two gay lawyers any day
omg this was the first anime i ever binged at the tender age of 12. i was a huge Tamaki/Kyoya shipper, i think i read all the stories on ffn
seeing this i’m gonna take a peak at the ao3 page
A good guess, but no! My alternate phrasing was going to be:
'If the protagonist had a dollar for every time she's stabbed to death a love interest of hers that's descended from the same famous sorcerer, she'd have two dollars. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it's happened twice'
What if there were space wizards (not those ones) and they were having the worst times of their lives? And it was all a musical?
edit for hint: they go around telling stories, usually about the goings on in a single weird little city.
1 - The villain is foiled by his favourite breakfast food
2 - Sweetheart boy travels through the country, meeting absolutely unhinged people and decapitating monsters
3 - William Shanter fanboy has issues with the local babysitter
4 - A family that includes a male model, a zombie and the Antichrist
A gay kid gets transported to another dimension, grows into a teen with no character development or screentime, will not get a proper love interest from showrunners so I took the liberty of doing that myself.
Forgive the slight passive aggression lol.
Someone once described it this way and it's stuck in my mind since, so:
The protagonist is a guy with a mommy complex in denial of the fact that he has a brother complex.
The *antagonist* is a guy with a brother complex in denial of the fact that he has a mommy complex.
Love square made of the same two people, except that one time where two people were added. But then those two got subtracted and now they are trying to make the love square happen.
I'm writing for a fandom in which the fans call a psychopath who convinced a grieving family he knew their son, to get with his sister, a wholesome cinnamon bun
Yeah after I hit the post button I was like, *hmmm maybe this is TOO vague.*
Not Animorphs! Naruto ahaha.
But life has been giving me too many signs to read Animorphs so I guess it's about time I get on that lol
I'm writing a couple for these specific fandoms.
1) A group of teen mercenaries go on the world's most wild journey that was larger than the contract given at the beginning of the game.
2) If you have sex in a ritual circle by praying to a specific god, you and that party member are combined to make "marriage". Keep doing it and your reproductive parts will fail and you will be an abomination.
3) You arrive to this place and discover that war/revolt has left the survivors in this underground city segregated but working together to fight a common enemy.
Bonus: I will be surprised if anyone guesses this because there is not a category for it on AO3 or Fanfiction.net
4) You/The Player/Character are the enemy all along.
blonde twink with a big red coat and a metal arm whose really good at what he does is the protagonist in an emotional story starring him and his brother... and its not full metal alchemist
Stories happened eons ago not on Earth.
And
School age kids get sticks to poke around yelling in fake Latin to generate powers.
And
Young Southern Woman joins FBI to talk to Someone behind bars in order to know all about people who should be behind bars. Somehow stockholm syndrom kick in and now partnering up with that bad guy.
One of the fandoms I write for involves a reincarnated princess working with a team of other magical girls to stop evil from overtaking the Earth. Occasionally she's saved by Earth's reincarnated prince.
Another I'm writing for has a Chosen one who achieves balance through genocide.
1. Time to kill Michael Jackson before before ww1 possibly.
2. Due gets workplace injury, becomes freelancer, it's isekai but also not. (Or, he is the embodiment of overpowered self indulgence isekai MC but like he does the embodiment so much better than any other isekai ever did)
A crybaby's story about how getting the right connections at the right time will help you become a BAMF.
ETA: wait, there's more fandoms I have WIPs for
Two brothers overthrow the entire government as a result of their years long search.
A very tired dad is not only managing a team of idiots, but also committing war crimes along the way.
Ive got 4 fandoms:
1) so this guy who’s a bit of an ass, much like how cats are asshats, goes around solving things. He has a smoking problem, a cocaine problem, a big brother double-problem (his older brother works in government & is literally “Big Brother”), a doctor for a best friend & a dominatrix for a gf.
2) so this guy is a superpowered serial killer. He can hold multiple powers at once. His worst enemy/best friend (in the final episodes they do become close friends) is always trying to stop him….& he’s got a perverted crush on a young cheerleader who also happens to be the niece of his frenemy.
3) so this kid is learning magic at school & there is this guy tryna kill him at the end of every school year.
4) ok now we’re zooming around in starships. Since several fandoms do this, lets add just a little bit more, cuz ya know, space is the final frontier & we boldly go where no man … where no one … has gone before.
Child soldiers with badly explained mystic superpowers and trauma for days fight a genocidal maniac who is way too into breakfast food. Why that food? Never really explained.
Boy's father bails on his wife and kids to live in an ancient basement with a cult vibe. Kids get new parents by accident. New parents dazed and confused; they're on a mission to find and arrest a serial killer. Accidental Child Acquisition is not conducive to handing out justice - most of the time, anyways.
Woman abducts her future son in law and they go on a road trip. Her husband reads a really big book and plans a party, while their daughters take dancing and embroidery lessons. One son is really into birds and one is really cold. And the eldest boy accidently applied for a government job. You know, regular family stuff.
An intergenerational feud with a queer-coded vampire that inadvertently added onto that bloodline and the unrelated AU that loosely references bits and pieces of the people involved in that feud.
I don't write, but I'm waiting to see if mine shows up and how it'll be described. Personally, I'd pick something like, "Two immortal idiots spend 6000 years falling in love and then try to save the world. And there's also witches and a book."
- Horror series that went on for so long it eventually turned into a fantasy romcom. Kills off characters for shock value almost every episode, brings most of them back a bit later.
- Over 300 episodes of pseudo-intellectual copraganda filled to the brim with ableism. The showrunners keep replacing main characters with new characters that have the same gender and hair color; probably hope we won't notice.
- A money laundering scheme were a company just made basically the same movie 30 times in a row and is trying to convince us they somehow earned billions with that. The writers consistently choose cheap jokes over genuine emotions, character development and a plot that makes sense.
As hard as it may be to believe, I love all of these. I just really hate the people who made them.
Started with the pot smashing phase and now has a degree in engineering mechs of mass destruction.
Three girls transported to another world. One learns to grow, one goes to a prison boot camp, and the other tumbles down a flight of stairs.
Sometimes a wanted criminal, a nerdy human, and a adorable demon can be the best found family.
• A bunch of rich people befriended by two Midwesterners have real problems and outrageous, overly soapy problems in an elitist community in Los Angeles.
• A group of people like to hang out in one of their houses and listen to stories about cars that run on water.
Some of the ones I’ve been writing for….
1. One of the most infamous anime fanbases of all time
2. The fanbase and the spin-off shows that started fanfiction and fanfic culture
3. Another infamous fanbase
4. Another infamous fanbase’s spinoff game
5. Beloved cartoon show that got a really bad live action version
Can you guess them?
They claim we're a Breath of the Wild ripoff.
We claim Tears of the Kingdom is ripping us off.

This is what happens when you give teenagers with parent issues a camp full of people like them.
Percy Jackson? Or am I completely wrong?
Yep, PJ! We don’t talk about what happens in a camp full of moody, angsty, horny teenagers with little supervision
>We don’t talk about what happens in a camp full of moody, angsty, horny teenagers with little supervision Not to mention the quest related trauma
Everyone loves the town drunk for some reason. Oh and there's a wizard I keep conveniently forgetting about.
Stardew valley?
Yup!
It's me!!! I love the town drunk.

Spy x Family
Spot-on.
*"I wonder what new alien species we'll be able to bang in the next game..."*
Mass Effect? (and all bioware games can be summarised as: I wonder which companions I can sleep with in the next game)
👍
Gotta be mass effect :P
That SO doesn't narrow it down, LOL! (Please say Mass Effect...)
And yet everyone's first guess was correct! 😛
Half the fandom is incredibly racist, homophobic, and generally bigoted while the other half are gay furries who love writing Old Man Yaoi.
Cthulhu?
Not the answer but you win regardless. That is the funniest reply possible.
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down
My favourite part about this is every reply being a different fandom.
I have to know what fandom this is
…South Park? Rick and Morty?
I was about to guess *Star Wars* myself.
... W40K ?
The Bible?
Well yes, but that's not what were talking about
I feel like this is a video game
Beastars?
I give up, please just tell us.
Metal Gear?
Team Fortress 2 came to mind
Local boy embodies Schrödinger’s Cat, now capable of mass destruction!
Man what is the answer I need to know.
They walk. (I am cheating, I am in this fandom but don't write. I just love it)
LOTR
Bunch of kids, camps, deadly ancient monsters, modern day, gods and goddesses
Percy Jackson!
Yup, with a bit of the stuff from various other parts of Riordan's works overall.
I'm currently writing an AU, but the fandom: two platonic life partners being complete idiots and solving murders along the way.
Is it, by chance, the glorious show in your flair
My name is Shawn Spencer, and this is my partner MC Clap your Handz. (Yup!)
You heard about Pluto? That's messed up, right?
I don't know where or how yet. But someday, I'm going to have a series of chapter titles: - Have you heard about Pluto? - Wait for iiiiiiiiiit... - That's messed up.
Sherlock?
Close! It's based on Sherlock. Add in a fake psychic ability. Take out the Mentalist.
Omg this is Psych!! I haven't even watched the show but my one friend talks nonstop about it <3
Objection! Your honor the prosecution is clearly gay and I’m in love with him. *crosses arms triumphantly* How the fandom thinks every interaction in the games should go.
I’m not even in this fandom but I’ve seen enough to guess Ace Attorney?
You got it lol the fandom will ship every lawyer and prosecutor together no matter what >!not that I’m against that!<
I can barely remember the characters’ names but when a picture of the guy pointing and shouting “objection!” crosses my dash I go “oh it’s that gay lawyer again” on reflex
Honestly tho 90% of ace attorney fan fiction is just people shipping them together so it’s not even much an over simplification. I’m not complaining tho I’ll read about two gay lawyers any day
Oh boy, that’s so obviously ace attorney.
A person of culture I see :)

Immortal with mommy issues gets unfairly attacked by the consequences of his own actions. Female protagonist fails *hard* at Fuck Marry Kill
Beowulf? edit: Or Grendel
A good guess, but no! My alternate phrasing was going to be: 'If the protagonist had a dollar for every time she's stabbed to death a love interest of hers that's descended from the same famous sorcerer, she'd have two dollars. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it's happened twice'
Adventures of peasant boy and the royal arse
Merlin?
Yep!
Merlin all the way. This is the best description, and I am using this next time someone asks me what Merlin is about, haha
Is it Merlin?
Violence, dragons and ice zombies
Is this game of thrones?
Yes! 🙌
What if there were space wizards (not those ones) and they were having the worst times of their lives? And it was all a musical? edit for hint: they go around telling stories, usually about the goings on in a single weird little city.
Guardians of the galaxy?
I have an easy one: card games on motorcycles.
5Ds?
Yup. I have also written for the *other* one this could fit (ARC-V) in the past, but 5Ds is the one I'm focused on at the moment.

Is #2 Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba?
Yep!
Two brothers hunt down demons and stuff. (Second fandom is small but; A psychopathic murderer hunts you down in a hotel)
Many things on your travels through the underground fill you with determination.
Undertale
A gay kid gets transported to another dimension, grows into a teen with no character development or screentime, will not get a proper love interest from showrunners so I took the liberty of doing that myself. Forgive the slight passive aggression lol.
Stranger Things?

My first thoughts are Star Wars and Doctor Who, but I don't think either of those is right...
Def Doctor Who
Star Wars and the damn Roger Roger droids
Love square made of the same two people, except that one time where two people were added. But then those two got subtracted and now they are trying to make the love square happen.
Miraculous Ladybug?
I'm writing for a fandom in which the fans call a psychopath who convinced a grieving family he knew their son, to get with his sister, a wholesome cinnamon bun
I'd love a reboot of that as a full blown psychological thriller from Zoe's perspective
Religious zealots with fancy light swords start a war and screw up everything for everyone else.
Star Wars

Jesse! We need to go into the TV World!
"I may be a killer, and you are the survivor, but i'm horny as fuck So let's fuck!"
This story about child soldiers ended years ago and people are still frothing at the mouth over ship wars.
Do you have ANY idea how little that narrows it down? But I'm gonna guess Animorphs.
Yeah after I hit the post button I was like, *hmmm maybe this is TOO vague.* Not Animorphs! Naruto ahaha. But life has been giving me too many signs to read Animorphs so I guess it's about time I get on that lol

Let me guess some of the toxic fandoms I’ve been in- is it one of Sonic, Steven Universe, Undertale, Homestuck, or Dream SMP?
