I was bored of my newer fandoms and decided to go back to an old one that I hadn't thought of in a while.
And now I'm stick in the clutches of Voltron and the beautiful fanart people keep making for the fandom even now, and the tooth rotting (platonic) fluff fics.
I have fallen and I can't get up xdxd

Fic writers! Pspspspsps
The Blue Exorcist has so much potential for good fics... Too bad the fandom is so small.
Look at the material we've got!
Play with religion
The outcast MC - because of course
The corrupt organization on the good guys' side - the same organization that suppresses the MC bc they're scared of him
The evil parent - kept as a secret from the MC
The dead parent
The dead parental figure - hello trauma
Even the Evil twin! - well sorta but I think it counts
The angsty-ness of "found friends for the first time ever, but they found out about my dark secret and now are avoiding me".
The poor MC trope
Execution threats for the MC
An animal(-ish?) companion
MC has a tail and fangs (+ other animal-like/demon-like characteristics)
The " Something was considered evil before the MC befriended it"
You even have the hair color change thing
Probably more things I can't think of because I forgot about them xd
I mean, let's look at the popular tropes you can play around with!
Play with religion the way the show/anime hasn't yet
The MC forms a third side of the war
The war hero/veteran trope - for time travel fics especially
Found family
Toxic people cut off (+ new friends)
World building possibilities
New interpretations of the MC's powers
Morally ambiguous MC
More I can't remember
And like, I would write a fic for it, but I just want to read something atm xdxd
(unsubtly trying to influence ppl to write fics through social media - *ahem*)



Just a random thought about how Alastor and Vox must’ve been really good friends before everything fell apart. Because Alastor knows how to make a video ad, he knows how to set things up for a movie/video shoot, things that had nothing to do with his medium, that he probably learned how to do because of Vox, because he was willing to try and learn from or for Vox. And Vox literally welcomes Alastor back home when he finds out he’s returned, has literally counted the years Alastor’s been missing when no one else seemed to know, and fashioned his clothing style to match Alastor’s (assuming it’s not just a case of everyone gets a pinstripe suit!), uses the same techniques Alastor taught Charlie about how smiling can be a tool to keep you ahead of the game.
And how it all fell apart and it wasn’t just Vox that was hurt in the process. Because you can’t tell me the man who hates TVs and modern tech due to its association with Vox doesn’t feel anything for what friendship they had and lost. Who snarls at the mere sight of him on a screen (admittedly while also dissing Alastor), who went straight back to his radio tower to diss Vox right back (and absolutely crush him lol), before threatening him against taking action, privately, twice. Alastor’s just better at hiding how much it’s affected him, and doesn’t let the bitterness of what used to be consume his every waking thought.
And maybe that’s the difference between how they view their old relationship and how the fandom seems to view it. Alastor’s upset about it, sure. He’s bitter now about Vox and everything Vox represents because he’s a past friendship that failed, but he’s also moved on with his life. Vox hasn’t. Vox still obsesses over Alastor, in the way he dresses, the way he talks, how he presents himself. It’s all reminiscent of Alastor. And when he finds out Alastor’s returned, the first thing he does is draw attention to how Alastor’s back! Talk in a roundabout way about how much he’s missed him! Has wondered where he’s been? Sends a spy into the hotel to, well, spy on Alastor! And when that doesn’t work, Vox continues to stalk Alastor through his drones instead. (And then gets off on seeing Alastor get beat up.)
Vox very much has not moved on from whatever friendship they’d had before. He hasn’t moved on from Alastor. (Or from his heavily implied obsessive crush).
We don’t know what happened between them, aside that it’s complicated and sad, that they were friends, and now they’re very much not, and that maybe part of the reason why is because Alastor rejected Vox’s request to join his team (upend his entire life to partner with Vox, assuming Alastor always worked solo and what the Vees currently have is what Vox had wanted with Alastor with his request). We can assume maybe part of why they fell apart was because Vox wanted something more from his relationship with Alastor, something Alastor could not and did not want to give him. Or maybe they just grew apart, grew distant. Vox constantly upgrading and changing and keeping up with the newest trends, chasing whatever new Thing that’ll keep him relevant, while Alastor remained set in his ways because he’s not looking for the approval of the masses.
Anyways, all this to say: when I, and I assume most other OneWayBroadcast fans talk about one-sided radiostatic, it is specifically about how Vox has a one-sided romantic/sexual attraction/crush on Alastor, that Alastor does not return, that has now turned into a one-sided obsession over Alastor. Not that their entire friendship was completely one-sided. I think saying that Vox was the only one who was ever invested in their relationship is a rather bad faith interpretation of Alastor’s character, but also does not do their relationship justice at all. It minimizes Vox’s responsibility in the fallout of their friendship, and puts the blame only on Alastor. It takes away all the juicy complexities of Vox’s character, how he’s bad person who’s done and is doing bad things, and paints him as an innocent victim to “Alastor’s manipulation”.
That’s not to say Alastor was completely innocent in the fallout either. But I hear a lot more about how the fandom woobifies Vox in their relationship than I do Alastor.

Do you ever look at a number online - like, for example: likes on a post - and wonder if this many people would be enough to fill a village/city?
Well, I did yesterday and decided to google how many people would be enough to form a village. There it said from a few hundred up to a few thousand.
Which means (according to my Ao3 statistics) that I can be considered (what's the equivalent to) a small village's weird storyteller.
