Does Anyone Know What You’d Call The Trope In Fanfiction Where
Does anyone know what you’d call the trope in fanfiction where
The MC/Ensemble gets isekai’d/sent back in time/banished or leaves
they decide to build their own Homebase/settlement/Nation where they do things their way which is usually better/more advanced than what their enemies/other people do? sometimes they use a pre-existing
Usually with magic/similar powers or with future knowledge/scientific advances.
MC is usually the leader and is leading the charge with the changes. MC draws people in with charisma, power, and revolutionary changes. Side characters are usually the first ones to join the MC
Bad Guys can’t compete(or at least can’t keep up with their advancement), but usually outnumber MC’s group so it's not immediately one-sided in favor of the protags
Sometimes there is a godlike being that initiates the initial send-off to ‘fix’ something although they usually allow the MC to operate how they want to. Sometimes they only care for their own entertainment or are not godly and are out of their depth.
If there isn’t a name for it I propose Basebuilding on the smaller scale and Nationbuilding on the larger scale
anyways, any fic recs? cause I usually read this trope with like Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, or Naruto but I have found it in ATLA and MHA before too. I think I've seen it in the MCU fandom with like Tony accidentally taking over the world, and in the HTTYD fandom with like Hiccup single-handedly creating a Viking renaissance, but I think it would be a neat concept for a Percy Jackson fic.

Fuvk man why didn’t any one tell me that Old man Yaoi had Hands
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.
make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.
spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

^shikamaru’s visuals for my fic “the twelfth guardian” posted like five minutes ago.
okay, context: for the longest time i had this plot bunny about naruto being raised at the daimyo’s mansion and i finally wrote it for a shikanaru fic. only, it’s entirely from shikamaru’s pov and it’s plot heavy and i ended up writing it out for four days straight (it’s not complete but mostly it’s done) and i had way more fun with it than i thought i would. sometimes, writing for fics helps you articulate a thought you never realised you had and it happened quite a few times with this fic. i ended up making art for it because i was so absorbed by the images in my head (i’ll upload more stuff as the other two chapters come out). currently, the doc sits at 24k+ words and this will end up being around 32k i reckon. also, most importantly, this is the reference image i used for shika! it was originally from a tutorial. i’m not good at making up characters from memory or creating believable poses (using a laptop-app for digital art for the first time!) but i’m good at sketching from a source. so this helped immensely. making his sword was super fun!! anyway, goooo read if the summary is your vibe and lemme know your thoughts!
happy holidays!! <3
