Hetalia - Hogwarts

Spider-Man

You know that one McDonalds triangle meme that’s weirdly popular and tends to show up at least once in every fandom? I saw an MCU one once and was unreasonable enraged by Spidey being put with the McDonalds! McDonalds! McDonalds! corner. Spidey would, depending on just how annoying the kids are, without a doubt be the guy who’d drive up to the window, order a single black coffee and leave.

My Buffy Problem

I like Spuffy as a couple, I intensely dislike Bangel, but I really like Angel as a character. Angel might actually be my favorite character, I just can’t stand him with Buffy, I think they bring out the worst in each other. My problem, why do so many Spuffy stories have to come with Angel bashing? They give plenty of evidence for why they don’t work together that doesn’t take from either character. Why do they have to turn Angel into this huge bully? Why can’t they just have Angel naturally mature away from Buffy? I get he had a lot of problematic behavior around her when he was with her, treating her like one of his former victims minus the killing at the end, but he hadn’t been around humans in decades, he didn’t know how to act around them. Angel’s show is all about him learning to be human, really, Buffy showed him that he could be redeemed, that’s why he’s so attached, but they don’t work. Also, what’s with everyone saying he lost his soul because he had took Buddy’s virginity? It was about her acceptance of him, he felt absolved by her so he could feel truly happy for a brief moment. After Angelus returned, Angel realized he could never be absolved by someone else, he just has to be better on his own and help people. I’m just frustrated by people feeling the need to detract from Angel as a character in order to boost Spuffy, Spuffy doesn’t need it, Spike and Buffy work as a couple on their own because they’re compatible people.

Gran Torino adopted All Might. Toshinori met Nana when he was in middle school, like 13. Since he’s an orphan she decides to take him in, before All Might became the Symbol of Peace a lot of systems were pretty corrupt, including the foster care system. Obviously Nana can’t adopt Toshinori herself since that would draw All for One’s attention, so Gran Torino does it.

That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime

This was a really great show and I’m looking forward to the next season, I just hate that so many of Rimuru’s subordinates were made to look more human when they got upgraded. Especially the lizard men.

Star Wars Thought

So...did Bail Organa basically kidnap Leia? Luke went to his aunt and uncle, which is already kind of suspect because it doesn’t seem like either of them really had much of a connection to Padme or Anakin but at least there’s a legitimate familial connection and I guess Anakin probably lost all rights to decisions over his kids after he became Vader, but I really don’t think Padme would have been all that on board with a.) her children being separated or b.) neither of them going to her family or people she trusts to raise them. She met Owen and Breha all of one time? And I get Bail was probably her friend, but I really don’t think a work colleague would have been all that high on her list of guardians over say...her sister? Her parents? Her handmaidens/best friends? Luke can be explained, he went to nominal family in a place outside the purview of the Emperor where his father couldn’t find him. But Leia? She was raised on a stage in the very heart of the Empire, very obviously not related to Bail or Breha and being given the same title and position as her mother. She could not have possible been in more danger, besides that, no way Bail had any legal right to take her, whatever his intentions, he basically kidnapped her from her proper family who definitely would have done a better job of keeping her away from Vader and the Emperor. Even if Padme’s family were considered too dangerous, Padme’s handmaidens could have easily disappeared outside the Empire. I just can’t stop thinking about how Padme’s agency as a mother was violated by these three men who had very loose connections to her and really didn’t have any right to decide how her children would be raised.

I’m also never going to not be angry that Bail had C-3PO’s memory wiped without any kind of by your leave. He had no right to either of those droids either. The more I think about it the more angry I get.

A Silly Thought

The Guardians during Descendants. Pitch would have been locked up on the Isle of the Lost just like the other villains but since he is a literal alien, the barrier doesn’t work quite right with him. The Guardians take advantage of that. Sandy and Pitch bond to share their magic, creating a loophole in the barrier that allows spirits and only spirits to pass through and use their magic. So Sandy can still send his good dreams to all the kids of the isle and Pitch can still monitor the nightmares of the world, fear has its place after all. Likewise, Tooth can still collect her teeth, North can deliver his presents at the Winter Solstice and Bunny can bring his sweets at the Spring Equinox. Though it’s Jack that really does the most, he personally sees to winter on the Isle, making it the one time of the year that everyone calms down, even the worst of the villains hold back, like an atmosphere of joy that works agains the isle’s natural bleakness. Winter is the favorite season for all the children of the Isle of the Lost.

Fandom Complaint

I really hate the Marvel Superfamily trope for a number of reasons, mostly centering on the infantilization of Peter Parker and the erasure of his actual family in favor of Steve and Tony which makes me sick, I actually like that pairing but just give them their own kid, Peter’s characters is so OOC in all those stories anyway, just go all the way and make an actual OC.

But whatever, right now the thing that pisses me off the most about Marvel Superfamily is that they’ve stolen the term “Superfamily” from Superman and his actual family. How am I supposed to look up content about Chris, Conner, Jon, Kara and various related family members if Superfamily isn’t about the actual Superman Family?

Naruto Fic Idea

I have this idea for a time travel fic where Obito manages to do something that ends with Team Minato all returning to their bodies at some point before Kannabi bridge at the moment of their death. Of course, for Rin it would be the Sanbi incident, and I’m thinking for Minato it should be the Kyuubi attack, then Obito from the fourth shinobi war. So these three are coming from pretty bad moments in time and they find waking up in the past a second chance to fix things. Minato and Rin don’t know what’s going on, but they think Obito dies at the bridge and saving him is one of their major goals. Obito has a plan, he wants to change everything and go after things like a real fix-it, he gets Rin and Minato on his side easily, and then there’s Kakashi.

Kakashi died in his sleep, probably sitting in a chair on his deck watching the sunset, surrounded by his ninken and maybe with Tenzo or Gai sitting next to him. (I’m a kakayama and a kakagai shipper but it can be whoever you want or no one if you don’t want to have shipping involved.) Anyway, when Kakashi wakes up in the past he’s horrified. He has spent his entire life fighting for Konoha, first as a solider, then as Hokage and finally as an advisor, working towards real peace. And they succeeded. (I choose to ignore all Boruto related stuff, I kind of like combining this idea with my Daimyo Kakashi fic idea.) Whatever you imagine future Konoha being like, I like to think they brought the shinobi age to an end. They were moving past the time of mercenaries, fighting and war in favor of real progress. Details aside, Kakashi died feeling genuinely accomplished, having lived a long and full life, he was ready to pass on and he is not thrilled to find himself in the past.

When he finds out Obito is behind it, he is absolutely furious. He had mostly come to peace with what Obito had done, but he is now confronted once again with just how selfish and shortsighted he is. I imagine this fic mostly from the POV of Minato and Rin, maybe Kushina too. They are completely confused, they remember Obito as a happy and brave young man, and Kakashi as a cold and detached kid with stunted emotional growth. They have no idea what’s going on, they’re in favor of changing things and trying to fix it, Obito is trying to convince Kakashi that this is a good idea. All Kakashi really cares about is whether or not his future still exists somewhere and completely done with things otherwise. He doesn’t think it’s a future worth giving up just to appease his regrets. He’s also tired, Kakashi died from old age so he was, like >90, and he has no interest in repeating it all again.

I’m not really sure what to do from there, I just think it’d be an interesting set of dynamics.

Crossover Fic Complaint

I find it really annoying in fanfic, usually crossover or oc’s, where the writer has whatever character see right through a secret identity, it happens all the time with Superman and it’s mostly just a way to make their preferred character look smarter than everybody around them. There is nothing wrong with Superman’s secret identity.
