On WildeHopps and why It Just Makes Sense by zootopepo (pepoluan)
Fandoms: Zootopia (2016)
16 Jan 2019
Tags
Summary
Some essays / discussion threads that really cement the relationship of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in the minds of the WildeHopps shippers.
These actually are posts I "salvaged" from my Tumblr blogs. They likely was started by someone else rather than me. I'll try hard to credit the actual posters if their posts still exist.
May contain partial duplicates due to the possibility of diverging threads. I'll try to "merge" the diverging threads, but sometimes that's just not possible and I'll post the threads in separate "chapters".

A Quartet of Social Issues: Malkot on Feminism, Racism, Classism, and Homosexuality by allonsytotumblr
Fandoms: מלכות | Malkot (TV)
15 Jan 2019
Tags
Summary
You know that, "in this essay i will-" meme? This is like that, but I really did write an essay.
TL;DR: It's a super feminist show, if you're a snobby/ racist man in it you'll get your ass whooped, Dana Ivgy is the hottest human of all time, and her character was meant to be a lesbian. That's the tea on Malkot, and I will not be accepting any form of critique whatsoever.

“Nice boots, Tinker Bell!”: Steve Rogers as an allegory for the impossibility of performative masculinity. by mathildia
Fandoms: Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
12 Jan 2019
Tags
Summary
And Steve Rogers’s weapon is a shield. Steve does not attack, he defends. Steve Rogers is the only Avenger who does not thrust forward with a phallic weapon. From Loki’s staff to Clint’s arrows, Black Widow (who pairs so well with Steve because she is a phallic woman) has guns, Tony essentially is a giant penis (sorry, friends, that’s all I see), and of course no one would even pretend that Thor’s hammer isn’t Thor’s penis.

Summary
Tales and Lessons: Bits, Bobs, and Assorted Background Information for the Nine Realms.
This is a series of additional information and exposition that most likely won't make it into the main story of Once More with Empathy. Purely for those interested in world building and in universe lore. Will always be marked as complete because each chapter is a self-contained topic. Everything from in universe myths from my own head to more little details about customs of all the different realms. Maybe even a cut scene here and there.

Summary
The connection between Tsurumi and Kouhei is one of bonds developing the most over the course of the story so I came to the conclusion it would be worthwhile to have a closer look at it.

Sandoval Bey's Backstory (2) by pallasite
Fandoms: Babylon 5, Babylon 5 & Related Fandoms
02 Jan 2019
Tags
Summary
Sandoval Bey was Bester's mentor and father figure when he was a teen in the Corps. (This is canon - he's a character in the canon books and was discussed in the unfilmed Crusade script involving Bester.)
Fragments of his backstory are given in canon - I've pulled them together and I'm reconstructing his story, because his life story is, in a sense, the story of a certain era of the Corps. Bey entered the Corps as a teenager, a "later" from the normal world with no connections, yet eventually rose to be head of all of MetaPol under Director Vacit. His eventual assassination at the hands of Psi Corps Director Johnston (Vacit's successor) marked a pivotal moment both in Psi Corps history, and in Bester's life.
Part 1 is here.
