Fandom + Fanfic Recs

[(Anonymous)]

What new fandoms have you gotten into recently that you think people might like? Any new ships? Any great new fanfic gems you've found? Post about them here. Please. I'm begging you.

LastMan

[(Anonymous)]

a friend of mine bugged me until I tried this one out, and there were right, it was awesome:

LastMan is is a French adult animated series I think it's great!! and actually a prequel for a French manga-style comics that's... good too but has many flaws. You can watch the prequel without reading the comics and you might just get a bit frustrated at the end. You could theoretically read the main series without watching the cartoon but you'll quickly be lost. So I always advise to start with the carton!
There's only one season, 26 episodes of 11 minutes each so it's a quick watch. The style is rather minimalist, the animation just a tad cheap at first but get better as it goes, the music is great. Characters are diverse and well-rounded and there are mixed martials arts, muscles, moustaches, mafiosi, machine guns and monsters! And, as it's an adult series, also violence, swearing, blood, and sex.

In a place that ressembles a caricature of a nowadays US big town, our hero is one Richard Aldana, a boxer who could be a pro if only he wasn't so lazy. But it's not our own world: the opening speech states that other worlds might exist and someone hopes for opening a gateway.
One day, Richard's best friend and coach, Dave McKenzie, gets brutally murdered by someone like looks like a frail little man with dubious tastes in clothing and hairstyling but can block punches with one finger and shoot lightning out of his hands. Yay. Richard then learns that Dave had a secret daughter, preteen little Siri, whom a weird sect tries to kidnap for... some undisclosed and unsavory supernatural purposes. Richard's a nice guy, he saves Siri, and takes her in.
But soon, more monsters come after them. And he gets roped into the Fist Fight Funeral Cup, a no-holds-barred mixed martial arts tournament for plot-related reasons.
More characters join the cast, like Tomie Katana, an aspiring singer who wants the be famous and have to strike shady deals with the entertainment system to do so, has her own personality and storyline and also progressively becomes Richard's love interest; Howard McKenzie, Dave's younger brother, who's good at both regular and occult sciences and is a bit creepily cold and detached (the redhead guy featured on the icons I use most often); Duke Diamonds, Richard's partner for tag-team matches; lieutenants Monica Mendoza and Daniel Hashman, the only competent cops in town, but that's not good news because when you're killing monsters that revert to a human shape upon dying in a world where nobody knows that demons are real you'll quickly get accused of being a serial killer, whoops...

Here's an English trailer:

if you want to have a look.
There are official English, Spanish and I think Russian dubs? You can watch the series on Netflix is you can access their French region-locked catalogue, on VRV for the US, and there are sadly-not-very-well-subbed versions floating around on free pirate streaming sites. Or you can buy the DVD or Bluray, they've been out for a year now.
And two samples of the soundtrack just because I like it so much:

If you survive the series and decide to continue with the comics, you'll dive into the legendary Valley of Kings, a medieval Europe-like fantasy world, with more martial arts tournaments, more endearing characters, more magic, plot twists, betrayals, then you'll get thrown back to a shithole of a futuristic megalopole before you at least get answers to questions left from the prequel!

my take on it is that yes, there are oh so many delightful shipping possibilities in it, both het and slashy, there's even some canon femslash and heavy gay flirting, and canon het sex veering on porn. it really needs more love!

I'm really, really happy that Thirteen/Yaz is a thing that people actually ship

Re: Fandom + Fanfic Recs

I don't really have anything add. I'm just trying to kill that wall of text because I'm on my phone.

I wouldn't say I've gotten into any new fandoms recently, but I have been reading some obscure little scanlations (of *highly* variable quality), and re-reading some bookmarked fanfic. Around the turn of the year, each year, I go over the fanfic I follow and decide whether I should move them to the 'deadfic' list or not. It's quite nice to re-read stories I might not have looked at since this time last year!

Re: Fandom + Fanfic Recs

I've gotten into Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda lately- it isn't in any way new, but I still have a rare pair fic I'd like to recommend...
Rhade and Harper- (though it includes some sixth season shipping besides that~)
A Matter of Manhood, by Quentin7
It's probably the best fic I've found for the two of them, and it is amazing!
(It's basically a short, but hilariously amazing kissing contest with the crew)

Re: Fandom + Fanfic Recs

All I've been reading lately is BL manga out of boredom but I don't think people would enjoy reading that.

Also helping collapse the comment section haha~~

Spread the word

[(Anonymous)]

Ironic racism and anti-semitism is the same as real racism.

Re: Spread the word

[(Anonymous)]

I find you more annoying than the secret maker, tbh.

Re: Spread the word

[(Anonymous)]

what are you actually talking about

Re: Spread the word

[(Anonymous)]

Kindly explain what in the everloving FUCK "ironic racism and anti-Semitism" is, please.

Re: Spread the word

[(Anonymous)]

Gosh, this attempt to shit-stir and start wank... so subtle.

Sort of based on #4

[(Anonymous)]

What trends in your fandom do you find annoying?

Re: Sort of based on #4

[(Anonymous)]

x Reader
bonus point for using "Y/N"--I know it's supposed to stand for Your Name even if I think it's so very stupid, but I always read it as Yes/No anyway. So. Very. Stupid. And irritating.

Re: Sort of based on #4

[kaijinscendre]

The fact that like 99% of the fic for a pairing has one person being the bottom. Switch it up damnit!

Re: Sort of based on #4

[(Anonymous)]

Jumping on a certain personality for a character, when it doesn't actually make sense for them... If only because it's popular as some kind of covert self-insert, or because the fandom has devolved to the point that no one seems to remember how the characters actually acts...
(I should probably phrase this better... but, ugh...)

Weekend Plans?

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

I am going to be grinding some lootboxes because I want that Junkrat skin. Sunday, I think I am going to make cinnamon rolls to be baked Monday morning for work. Other than that, not much of anything.

Low secret count...

[(Anonymous)]

I submitted four more secrets and can send in a few more if needed. How about the rest of my fellow secret makers?

What are your favorite podcasts?

[(Anonymous)]

I am looking for some new ones.
