Punk Percy Jackson but with actual punk
The mdzs character who gets the worst treatment by fandom is by far Wei Wuxian. Like he doesn't even get good discourse, he's just instantly turned into a Manic Pixie Dream Necromancer, a little uwu gremlin who is so badly treated :( by everyone :(( for no reason :((( like war crimes and torture WHO, wwx has never done anything wrong?? none of it was his fault because he's CLEARLY the protagonist, and anyway he's literally a neurodivergent queer minor??
It's genuinely so sad, Wei Wuxian is such an incredible character because of how flawed he is, and because of how often his flaws contradict his best impulses!! He's incredibly compassionate with zero empathy, he's self-destructive and self-sacrificing and self-centered, he's talented and arrogant and brilliant and kind and callous. he's the moral heart of the world and he commits horrors that nobody else has even thought of. he's That Bitch, and wwx stans just file all of what makes him shine until he's flat and bland and unproblematic and boring
like babygirl I'm so sorry they did this to you. look how they massacred my boy.
For Scum Villain fandom specifically I have to say that the deciding factor in whether I adopt a headcanon or not is whether I think it's funny.
Do I think Shen Yuan was ill in his first life? Yes, because I think it's extremely funny if he was ill in his first life, got a brand new life with superpowers (cultivation) and boosted health, and then immediately got slapped with another fucking chronic illness (Without-A-Cure.) I think that is the funniest sequence of events and thus the correct one.
Do I think that Shen Yuan was on the very low end of his twenties, barely college-age, when he transmigrated? Yes, because I think it's hilarious if the rest of the Peak Lords have unknowingly been "shixiong"ing a fuckin sophmore
And lastly, do I think that Shen Jiu never went to the brothels for sex and ultimately died a virgin? Yes, because that sets the stage for SY!SQQ to later trip over some kind of virginity-detecting critter or plant (you KNOW the PIDW setting has to have these somewhere, c'mon), not even knowing that it's something he has to think about avoiding, and whoops getting outed as a virgin in front of the entire cultivation world, and that would be hilarious
@punkeropercyjackson here it is!
everybody check out punkero's posts on the anomalies - the group is their idea and they have so many hcs on it!!
So while the mouthwashing community is still fresh and active I've got a question. Do you think the others ever figured out that it was Jimmy who crashed the Tulpar and not Curly? Like I know Daisuke doesn't know bc if he ever figured it out there's no way he would've stayed quiet abt it, but what abt Anya and Swansea did they ever figure it out at any point or had any suspicions abt what exactly happened the day of the crash
"if you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't" no but like. i really didn't. i have never in my life seen someone shoplifting because i'm not watching anyone else in the grocery store..? how are y'all noticing things like that. my only goals are enter the store, survive, exit the store
