already she's complaining, but can you blame her?

[neverturnmyback]

Okay, mun. I was happy when you decided to make me this journal, because even if you're going easy on games right now memes and musesboxes are still fun. And considering I've been one of your favorite characters since 2009, it was only a matter of time.

Then I noticed what else was on your muse list, and now I'm not so happy.

Are-are you serious?! You honestly thought that was a good idea?! The very existence of that-that thing was scarring enough, but then you had to...ugh! Why is that in the same "headspace" as me?! No, I don't care if you rarely ever play her, it's still wrong!

"That thing"?

[neverturnmyback]

You don't want to know.

[whatbrake]

Should I even ask?

[madangry_madcrazy]

Actually I kind of do.

[neverturnmyback]

That depends on how strong a stomach you have for horror.

[whatbrake]

Eeeh... it could go either way really.

[neverturnmyback]

Well, if you must know it's a horrible fancomic that was making the rounds some three years back. Just...look up "How I Became Yours", I can't explain it all here.

[neverturnmyback]

So someone made a fancomic based on our canon, right? Not too unusual.

Except this one was horribly written, blatantly traced, and turned me and everyone else into twisted, sick versions of our normal selves. And, well...my mun decided to play that comic's version of me as a gag.

[madangry_madcrazy]

So... the thing is... this horrible fancomic's version of you?

[neverturnmyback]

Yes, exactly!

[madangry_madcrazy]

I see...

Well, I have a similar problem. There's a lot of fanfiction out there where I'm portrayed very differently from what I am actually like.

[neverturnmyback]

[Wow, someone who gets it.]

Isn't fandom the worst?

[madangry_madcrazy]

Not all of it, but that particular side of it, yes.

[neverturnmyback]

I could write a book about all the madness of my canon's fandom. Especially the shippers. Even now thinking about them makes my skin crawl.

[madangry_madcrazy]

You're preaching to the choir here. The shippers are the worst offenders, seeing as they tend to distort our personalities to fit their view and ships.

[neverturnmyback]

Exactly. Making us say or do things we'd rather jump off a cliff than ever contemplate!

[madangry_madcrazy]

Like... [Ugh!] ...rape. [That leaves such a horrible taste in his mouth.]

[neverturnmyback]

Try being a victim of it in countless fics. [especially the ones where it's your own FAMILY MEMBERS doing it. Or some creepy spirit.]

[madangry_madcrazy]

Fine, if you try being the rapist in several fics. I may be a villain, but I have standards! Not to mention I was brought up to be respectful of women.

[neverturnmyback]

[snorts] Whatever side of it you're on it's disgusting.

So were most of the men I know! Even the idiots.

[madangry_madcrazy]

You know, you're not too bad, for a teenager.

[neverturnmyback]

You've got something against teenagers? [smirk]

[madangry_madcrazy]

Yes. The complete lack of respect for their elders, for one. Then there's the hair, the clothing, how they think they know everything... I could go on.

[whatbrake]

.... Sounds terrifying.

What's wrong, Katara?
