wtf i totally ship
It really would’ve been interesting to see these 2 together 😂
like this post if u are cringe and free
Literally insane to me how small the general webtoon fandom is outside of the webtoon app itself (and maybe reddit??)
I've talked to multiple people irl who LOVE reading webtoon, but the online community is borderline threadbare ! Most people on Tumblr have no IDEA who our blorbos are! I've checked tags for some fairly popular webtoon and it was like visiting that Tatooine town in the Mandalorian where there are 5 citizens total, but only if you also count the Mayor, the sheriff, and the deputy.
Lore Olympus is the most popular webtoon and has under 2,000 fics on AO3. Lookism has roughly 1,000. Unordinary, THEE legacy webtoon, only has 600, and it's been running for almost 7 years now. It has nearly 6M subscribers and still gets 50K+ likes each week. It's not dead by any means.
I guess it doesn't help that each webtoon is its own micro ecosystem and once a webtoon ends, that ecosystem typically fades with it. But webtoons can go on runs longer than most shows on streaming services, and those fandoms burn hot and bright even if only for the first month of a new season drop.
By comparison, webtoon fans are largely casual about their enthusiasm, even if they're highly invested in the story or characters. From my experience, only the most passionate try to connect with other fans online. But when you're passionate about one webtoon, I suppose it's hard to show constant excitement about the 20+ other stories one might keep up with. Still, between the 85 million monthly readers, you'd think each major webtoon would at least have a dedicated fan base (meaning people who regularly post theories, thoughts, fics, and fanart) of mere thousands outside of the app.
One exception for this is that Batman webtoon? It actually trends on Tumblr every now and again. But it doesn't count, because Batman has a built in fandom who'll eat up and yell in the streets about any content where he's a decent dad.
People who read romance webtoon all tend to read the same comics, and actively understand the references to other popular romance comics (Trashta, Team Seojun, SLS), so you'd think there'd be a greater sense of unity. More people actively searching out others to discuss with and posting their thoughts online and not just in that webtoon's comment section.
I mean, C'MON girls!!! Millions of people log into that app like everyday!!! WHERE is the community?? WHERE is the fanart?? WHERE is the fanfic?? WHY does Odd Girl Out only have 7 fanfics?? WHY are there like 2 people on Twitter posting about Weak Hero?? Head in hands fr

no cuz theyre so underrated
M'gann's crush on Conner was SO obvious!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Honestly, one of the WILDEST first kiss scenes in cartoons back then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wally, I love you and all your goofiness, but how were you the last person on the team to find out M'gann was dating Conner? I get that he was crushing on her, but they were too obvious!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This scene is another one of their WILDEST! At least she never did it again when told it was wrong. My girl M'gann almost ended a whole marriage cause a martian's idea of roleplay!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This scene in the season 1 finale was cute, but we now know there were gonna be problems for their relationship as time went.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This proposal was too sweet! Wish we got to see how they got back together ANIMATED tho...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This scene... was too much and I LOVED it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This kiss was great, but the entire scene and what lead up to this says a lot. While Conner did forgive M'gann for the attempted mind wiping, he didn't forget about it. The fact they were actually able to make up again didn't surprise considering all that happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Them dancing in the air and remembering the good times they had was do precious!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Their Martian Wedding was absolutely wholesome and precious!!
