Not To Bash On Anyone's Ships, Or Anything, But There Is One Ship Dynamic That I Simply Can't Stand,

Not to bash on anyone's ships, or anything, but there is one ship dynamic that I simply can't stand, and that's "Main character's overly competitive and arrogant rival x The main character's supportive girl(best)friend".

Like, okay, I'm not as familiar with as many shows and anime as I would like to be, but in the media I've consumed, these ships don't make any sense! These two characters will barely interact, and when they do they mostly talk about the main character, and yet people will act like they've been connected at the hip! Not only that, but most of the time, the fan art, fanfics, and other fan works of these will have the two other characters treat the main character like dirt! Even if those characters' most kind and tender moments were towards the main character!

Can someone please try to explain what the interest in these ships comes from?!

I just noticed that she has the Crest of Knowledge on her chest!!!! Digimon reference from nowhere?!!!?!

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, SUCKAS!

Cartoon superheroes need more recognition. And I'm not talking the Marvel and DC comic cartoons. I'm talking about the superhero characters who came from cartoons, like Ben 10, Kim Possible, Danny Phantom, the Powerpuff Girls, the Swat Kats, the K.N.D., etc.

One of my most desired wishes is that one day, all of them will meet up in a big "portal scene" type of way, and just be awesome. It tortures me because I know it could never happen, but I would give so much just to see it.

I would die for this lad. Then I would come back and do it again.

My OC's story begins 16 years ago with two 20 year old disasters named Alice and Connor Embus. They are both freshly dropped out of college after a night of a little too much fun accidentally leads to a baby named Alex Embus. Neither have any idea of how to take care of a kid, Connor gets disowned by his family for being so wreckless and becoming a father on accident, and Alice's family weren't the best caretakers in the first place, so they are out of options. They can't find any work, until a friend from the street tells them about a "job" that could get them in the right direction. It turns out that the job was an armed robbery, and what surprised Connor and Alice the most was how much they liked it. Something about pulling off a real crime made them feel like they were wreckless kids again instead of the parents they were supposed to be. They kept going on more and more jobs to feed their kid, until one day they came to the realization that if they didn't have Alex, they could spend all their time being the big time criminals that they could be. So, they dropped Alex off at the Breezy Woods Orphanage, and never looked back.

6 years later, in the heavens above Greece, the Olympian Gods were facing their darkest hour. A moment that has plagued their nightmares for centuries. Mount Etna was starting to erupt, which means that Typhon, the Monster God, is close to escaping. Typhon is a beast of unparalleled power and terror, and is said to be destined to overthrow the throne of Olympus from the Gods. The last time Typhon attacked, Zeus barely survived, and the Monster God was only stopped by trapping him under the volcano. Now, it seems that he has gained enough strength to begin his escape. The Olympic Gods were thrown into a panic. All except for one. Artemis, Goddess of wildlife and the moon, approached. She said that ever since the first attack, she and her army of huntresses have been training for the day of Typhon's return. She declared that she will be the one to slay Typhon, and left with her army for war. However, when Artemis entered Typhon's prison, she discovered that the Monster God had used his power to create what could be best described as an entire ecosystem. Scattered around the large underground world were many types of monsters, similar to the ones long ago, but unrecognized by Artemis. The advance on Typhon was halted when many of the monsters began to attack, almost like on instinct. While Artemis and her huntresses did manage to slay some of the beasts, they were loosing far more than their opponents were. Artemis called a retreat in an effort to save her huntresses, only escaping Typhon's prison with a fifth of the army left. She realized that the monsters, with their unknown numbers and abilities, were going to make it impossible to reach Typhon. It was there that one of the Huntresses suggested a solution to their problem. She said that Artemis should use her power of turning people into animals, and combine it with the monsters' power, essentially giving someone the ability to use the monsters power against them. Artemis agreed, and snuck back into the prison to obtain samples from the monsters that have been slain. Fusing the samples with one of her arrows, she prepared to fire at one of her huntresses, but hesitated. She knew that the latent power the monsters held would be too much, and if put under the stress of war without getting adapted to them, the huntress could go on a rampage that could destroy the others and herself. Deciding to not risk what little army she had left, Artemis fired the arrow into the sky, declaring that the arrow will find one destined to slay Typhon, and until that day comes, they will regroup and stall Typhon.

The arrow would find its target at the Breezy Woods Orphanage, in a now 6 year old Alex Embus. Through his time at the orphanage, he would try his best to fit in with the other kids, and try his best to fit in. That changed when the arrow struck him in the middle of the night. As he woke up the next morning, he immediately noticed that he had changed into a creature, this one being a small red dragon. As he panicked at his transformation, others in the orphanage woke up and witnessed Alex's new form. Alex's roommates were terrified of his new form, and Alex, unable to talk or change back, would see how scared people were of him, and ran away in shame. Alex hid in the forest not far from the orphanage, and with his advanced senses, heard his once friends talk about how they believe he was eaten by a horrible monster. Alex was disheartened by their words, and decided to stop himself from scaring anyone ever again by hiding away in the woods. As time passed, Alex used his powers to survive, and by doing so, discovered how to change back, and other monster forms with unique abilities. Alex felt like he had mastered his powers after 10 years of living in the woods, but no matter how much he practiced, he never trusted himself not to scare anyone by returning to society. Alex would have been completely content with his life in the woods, until another powered individual found him, beat him in battle, and brought him to a place where people who are different could thrive. And from that day forward, Alex found his place in the world by joining the Guardian Alliance.
