Naruto Time Travel Fic Idea

Percy Jackson Headcannon

The strength a the demigod is dependent on the strength of the relationship between their parents, the more a god cares for their mortal lover the more favored their child is. That’s why Percy is so OP, Poseidon adored Sally.

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.

DCU In-Universe Fic

I’ve seen a few social media fics where in-universe characters argue about whether Batman or Superman is better, usually as an extension of the Gotham vs Metropolis debate. I was thinking about them and it occurred to me that no one within the DC universe would actually view Batman as being on par with Superman. Like, if Superman was real, this overpowered alien hero who saves people from actual natural disasters, he wouldn’t be considered “Metropolis’ Hero.” He’d be the World’s Hero, even the Gothamites would probably put him on a totally different league from heroes who operate primarily in their city. Yeah, sure, he debuted in Metropolis but he fights hurricanes and falling airplanes and alien warlords, EVERYONE would be invested in him.

The Fanfiction Question

The one thing I’ve never been able to understand are those unfinished stories that have no proper explanation as to what happened to the author. The ones that say they haven’t been updated in years but when you read the author’s note it sounds like they are still writing it and plan to regularly update, some even specifically promise an upcoming update that never came. What happened? I get that since it’s fanfiction these stories are being done at the author’s leisure and we can’t expect too much, but is it that hard for the author to write a quick note saying they’ve abandoned the story or they’re going on hiatus? Why just leave it without explanation? The not knowing is one of the most frustrating things about fanfiction, even when compared to the over abundance of horrible out of character stories.

Isekai Idea

I think it’d be interesting to have a protagonist who is an expert in medieval history get transported into the standard savior is summoned to defeat the demon king scenario. Like, even basic knowledge of that time period would make anyone super distrustful of the church and monarchy, since they are almost always just the absolute worst. So you have someone with that background and instinctive mistrust faced with exactly those kind of people claiming that they’re there to save the world. The gimmick is that the king and head priest are actually completely sincere but the protagonist just refuses to believe people in those positions could possibly be good. I’m imagining some kind of gag story with that premises, I just think it’d be funny.

Alternatively, you take the medieval history expert and have them be reincarnated in a world where everyone has complete and total implicit trust in the church and or monarchy because of divine right or something, real or imagined, and the protagonist just has to deal with their modern sensibilities of democracy in the face of classism. Or something. It’s not a fully fleshed out idea.

Suspension of Disbelief in Sci-Fi

The problem with learning anything of significance about history, geography, linguistics, biology and psychology is that it really interferes with the suspension of disbelief you need to enjoy science fiction. Humans are so complicated and so different depending on their culture and region, their language and the time period they exist in that all the alien species that are introduced always seem overly simplified. Not to mention how diverse the planet is depending on where it is, the alien planets are also overly simplified. The thing of it is, I really like sci-fi, I just want more thought given to diversity of alien species and planets.

Iphigenia

A lot of modern takes seem to like making Agamemnon an all out bad guy, and I’m not saying he’s secretly a sweetheart or anything g or even that he didn’t deserve to die, but I am of the opinion that he’s more complicated that just being an arrogant douche. For one thing, I wholeheartedly believe that he loved his daughter. The sacrifice of Iphigenia acting as his punishment would not make sense if he didn’t love her. It was beyond cruel that he chose to kill her and I defiantly think Clytemnestra was justified in killing him (not for some of the other thing she did, but definetly for that specific act), but however pathetic and insufficient it turned out to be, he did love her.

Superman Problem

So the one thing about the old Superman movies I’ve never liked has been the Jesus analogy. The idea that Joe-El sent his son to earth so he could guide the humans and be their savior. I think Smallville did this too and I didn’t like it then either. Why would a man from a completely different planet who has never been to Earth and has no reason to care anything about it except as the planet where his son is going so he doesn’t die on Krypton care at all about saving humanity? He was facing certain death as his planet died around him and risked a lot n the chance that his son would survive being sent away in a ship, why would he spend any time creating a plan where he ordered his son to be alone and isolated apart from the species he was being sent to spend his life around. It just doesn’t make sense.

BNHA Headcannon

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.
