10 ways in which fans rewrite their favourite television shows:

1) Recontextualization - the production of vignettes, short stories, and novels that seek to fill in the gaps in broadcast narratives and suggest additional explanations for particular actions.

2) Expanding the series timeline - the production of vignettes, short stories, novels that provide background history of characters, etc., not explored in broadcast narratives or suggestions for future developments beyond the period covered by the broadcast narrative.

3) Refocalization - this occurs when fan writers move the focus of attention from the main protagonists to secondary figures. For example, female or black characters are taken from the margins of a text and given centre stage.

4) Moral realignment - a version of refocalization in which the moral order of the broadcast narrative is inverted (the villains become the good guys). In some versions the moral order remains the same but the story is now told from the point of view of the villains.

5) Genre shifting - characters from broadcast science fiction narratives, say, are relocated in the realms of romance or the Western, for example.

6) Cross-Overs - characters from one television programme are introduced into another. For example, characters from Doctor Who may appear in the same narrative as characters from Star Wars.

7) Character dislocation - characters are relocated in new narrative situations, with new names and new identities. 

8) Personalization - the inserted of the writer into a version of their favourite television programme. For example, I could write a short story in which I am recruited by the Doctor to travel with him in the TARDIS on a mission to explore what has become of the Manchester United in the twenty-fourth century. (However, as Jenkins points out, many in the fan culture discourage this subgenre of fan writing.)

9) Emotional intensification - the production of what are called “hurt-comfort” stories in which favourite characters, for example, experience emotional crisis.

10) Eroticization - stories that explore the erotic side of a character’s life. Perhaps the best known of this subgenre of fan writing is “slash” fiction, so called because it depicts same-sex relationships (as in Kirk/Spock,etc.)

The Blondes, it's ALWAYS the Blondes

Doctor Who - “Rise of the Cybermen” // Good Omens - “Hard Times”

Fishlegs has been shown to carry:

Hiccup (HTTYD1)

Both of the twins (RTTE S5, A Matter of Perspective)

Snotlout (RTTE S5, Return of Thor Bonecrusher) (Note: Snotlout can also carry him, as seen in RTTE S4, Saving Shattermaster)

And while I cannot recall him carrying Astrid, but given her size (Hiccup and twins size), he could easily carry her just like she can easily toss him over her shoulder as seen in RTTE S5, Sandbusted)

… Do I, the OT6 Lady want to see Fishlegs carrying each of the other Riders bridal style? I do!

yall are so fucked with your cancel culture shit. and i dont mean like the james charles and pewdiepie and projared drama or anything like that.

i mean when yall bring up shit from 5+ years ago that people never had repeat offenses on after they immediately apologized after being told they were in the wrong. 

you seem to forget people grow and change over time. you seem to forget switching your opinions and growing and doing better and becoming a better person is part of being human, part of being a person. like, not to be that guy but a year ago i was an aphobic transmed. am i now? hell no, because i grew up and realized i was in the wrong and changed. 

holy shit. people are humans. dont fucking idolize them and rip them apart when you dig up shit they said 5+ years ago that they have never done since. dont place people on pedestals and expect them to be flawless. nobody is. and this isnt even about violent racism, transphobia/homophobia, or predatory behavior either so dont try to twist my words.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS

how to draw arms ? ? 

Humans are obsessed with the idea of angels.

Crowley walks down the street and sees a mural painted on a brick wall. Warm, ethereal light radiates from the being dressed in white. A halo hovers above their hair and white wings spread from their back. Their expression is one of love as they look down at the small orb that is Earth in their hands.

He sits on a bus, on a park bench, in a forgotten little diner, waiting on an old friend, and overhears the conversations.

“Ya got a guardian angel, Rob, I’ll tell ya tha’ right now,” says an older man to his friend. “No way you woulda survived otherwise.”

A woman wearing a symbol of her religion says to the little girl beside her, “Don’t worry, sweetheart. The angels are watching over your mother while you’re not there. We’ll visit her again tomorrow, I promise.”

Again and again. People of all shapes and colors and creeds talking of angels. In the eyes of humans, angels are kind. They are loving. They are gentle.

The cynical part of Crowley–the true demon within his self–wants to laugh cruelly at how naive humanity is. 

Angels are none of the things they think; they are just as cruel as demons, just as self-absorbed as Narcissus, and they care very little about humanity itself. The only real difference between the angels and demons, honestly, is that angels have the backing of God.

But there is a softer side to Crowley, too, and every time he hears talk of angels, it glows warm and bright inside him like the embers of a fire when life is breathed into it anew.

Because humanity did not just make these ideas up itself. No, throughout history, humans have shaped their ideas of angels based on interactions with one angel in particular. An angel who’s been assigned to watch over them, who’s been tasked again and again with showing them God’s power through miracle.

And that angel…that angel is everything that humans think of when they think of angels. That angel is gentle and loving and kind, that angel balks at violence, that angel nurtures and protects.

When humans talk of angels, Crowley doesn’t think of Gabriel or Michael, he doesn’t think of Uriel or Sandalphon. 

When humans talk of angels, Crowley thinks of Aziraphale, and he smiles.

A demon can get into a lot of trouble for doing the right thing.
