When Life Tops You Hard

[screwthegods]

Um yeah. Being more active = less computer time + less sleeping time!

...Go me.

So that life thing has hit, and it means I'm generally slower in posting. A lot slower. I am so sorry to all those I'm threading with! I'll try to make up for it since I'm off the next two nights, and currently have no plans though it could change. But tonight I believe is one of the nights where I have to work, meaning I probably won't be posting tonight either.

I'm very very sorry Kaze/Emi/Mika/Callie/Rose/SubZero-mun.

UM. HAVE A MEME!

What has fandom done to your canon or characters that makes you hurt inside? Even better, what has CANON done?

Please link images instead of posting them here, since we don't want to break anything, yes? And mark NSFW things or especially spoilery things as such, for the sake of us all.

For Eddie Brock/Venom: fandom has portrayed Brock as fluffy and cuddly if he's even slashed with Peter. Instead of a dick with issues and just a generally flawed person overall, you either get this guy written as just a "MUA HA I KIDNAPPED MJ MUAAA *MUSTACHE TWIRL" villian or as Peter's loving boyfriend who 's happy just snuggling with him. As for canon, well, uh, it depends on which flavor you want: original comics, Ultimate Spidey comics, the SM3 movie or the 90's cartoon. Right now canon's raped Brock by making him have cancer out of the blue and for separating him from the symbiote in the main comics, made him suddenly be Peter's childhood friend(?!) who turns into Venom when he tosses on a suit made to cure cancer(?!). The SM3 movie had really barely any Brock at all, much less Venom (also, he went out like a TOTAL PUSSY D:), and the 90's cartoons had him just be kind of, uh, RIDICULOUSLY buff.

For Qui-Gon Jinn: a lot of fandom from what I've seen likes to either have Qui-Gon be Obi-Wan's manly man in shining armor Jedi robes, or as this perfect Jedi Master who can do no wrong and is always right, always perfect. D: I think Qui-Gon has a different outtake on the whole Jedi and Force stuff than more conservative Jedi like the Council, but he's hardly perfect, and I think sometimes he can be caught up in his "crusades" and get a bit self-righteous - just in a more quiet, Jedi-ish way. xP As for canon...dude, they killed him off (DAMN YOU WYNA YOU KNOW WHY FOR). Also, they didn't have any flashbacks or any Force Ghost in the rest of the prequels, which sucked.

For Clark Kent: I can't really say much about fandom, since I've only looked for icons, not for fanfics. But canon...okay, I get Clark has a major crush for Lana Lang, but after 7 seasons of it, it's kind of ridiculous and pathetically wishy-washy. Also, for a guy who's supposed to turn into this ace reporter in Metropolis, kid!Clark is kind of dumb as a nail sometimes and unable to figure things out on his own without running to people like Chloe.
