What would the OC above be like in fanon?

Posted 2 months, 11 days ago (Edited 2 months, 9 days ago) by AbsolutelyHuman

So we all know how fandoms are able to reduce and mischaracterise characters down to nothing. Any complex concepts and motivations removed just so they fit better into a certain ship dynamic. Details removed cause artists don’t like drawing them. Older characters being made to look 25. And so on so on.

So what if the person above headworld had a fandom? How would their characters get misinterpreted and reduced down?

Example:

Person A: 

posts character

Person B: 

I think the fanon version of this character wouldn’t care about their past and only focus on their love interest, fanart of them would also change their hair texture from curly to straight or wavy.

posts character

Some rules (might need updates later on)

- Post ic, if the ic has nsfw make sure to include another option

- Please write +5 sentences and make sure you’ve read the ocs profile

- please try to complete your claim within an hour, however taking more that 24 hours will result in being blacklisted unless a reason is given (23/02)

- make sure the oc you submit has a bio with actual information about them

- you can include things like, horrible headcannons, or sketches of what you think fan artists would make the oc look like

- Put in some effort! I know this is a game about ruining people’s characters but still, write an answer the person above will find fun and interesting

- wait 3 claims or 24 hours between posts

- post claim to avoid getting sniped !

- have fun, be evil /hj


Starting with this guy

v okay but the secret romantic part is lowkey true

Phirya spoilk

YESSS I’ve seen this trend! ok claim hold on

The woobification of him would be so real. He’s just a little guy, he’s just traumatized but in reality is a sweetheart! no bro has killed MANY things - no he won’t sudden open up to u after a long day, it’s gonna take a whileeeeee. Maybe in fanon he’d be written as like, a secret romantic or something. Yet there’s absolutely nothing on his profile to support that at ALL. He’d secretly go out of his way to help small animals! Tbh I feel 9 times out of 10 he’s more worried abt surviving the apocalypse :0 LMAO

np, feel free to choose my ic OR this gal if ur having trouble (she’s got a bigger code)!

edit: BAHHAAAA the whitewashing would be so realll omg, also for sure on the angst potential :33 I loved ur response ty!

(If we're talking fanon then Phirya is so being whitewashed ong like the button nose and everything. People who like the character, but who don't understand would def self project into the chronic pain. They would also possibly make him a sensitive character, despite being a pirate. BUT, I think there would be a lot of good angst potential for fics and art. I can imagine how pretty the art would be where they give him more jewelry than he currently wears. )

El pinksun

i feel like riley's fanon could go in two directions, either being super woobified (like ohh shes such a little baby, never did anything wrong if you think shes morally wrong YOURE wrong!!) or the opposite of playing up her more negative traits even more. like, there would arguments in the fandom about her being actually evil or not. i cant tell what kind of backstory she has, but i can imagine a lot of discussion of whether its okay for her to act how she does because of her backstory- or, again, the opposite of arguing that shes pure evil regardless. just overall i think shes the type where the fanon version would never have the type of naunce shes probably intended to have

v i cant even lie of considered the idea of her being a mom friend type.... im no better than a fandom HAHWJD

Hal Roster R3DRUM

El is getting known as the "mom friend" character of her fandom. Shes certainly gonna be shipped with some other character i think, and those shippers will be very dedicated. I also think folks will probably call her precious and that she can do nothing wrong. I also feel like she might get a few angsty fanfictions out there, because who dosent like angst? This character is a solid canidate!

🐺 Edgar 🐺 zw3ihanders

Oh I think that many people would draw Hal younger than he actually is probably xd And of course tons of fanarts of him smoking 100% Also idk about this since I saw some art of him with a dog me and the fanon would probably think that he's definitely the type to love animals and be like "PRECIOUS   " I am also sure that lots of people would make like aesthetic playlists on spotify inspired by him for sure xD Or perhaps some playlist of music that he would listen to xd Also yeah, I can totally also imagine lots of fanfics hehe

"Agent" AbsolutelyHuman

Claim!

Hi you're getting this guy again sorry

I feel like Edgar would 100% get the himbo treatment, portraying him as stupid and lovable despite being quite intelligent. He would probably be aged down and "smoothed out" in most fanarts too, scars would be heavily down played and the eye bags would look more like eyeshadow lmao. Oh and he would definitely be drawn with dog-ears all the time "omg golden retriever boy". Then you would also have a solid chunk of people who are more of the "I can fix him" brand. People would also take the "over endulging" thing as him just sleeping and eating constantly, further playing into the himbo thing. They would also Headcannon him as Scandinavian or "viking esque" and you would get a lot of fanart based on that too. 

v Oh I'm guilty of drawing him smoking, although cigarettes are very hard to come by in their universe so probably not cannon

Briar RIDDL3R

the shape of his face is definitely not gonna be drawn by a mass majority of artists, unsure if he canonically smokes but regardless, I feel like he'd end up having "likes to smoke" as a common headcanon. probably would get,,,like,,,shipped with other characters to an annoying degree. And- Oh! The amount of angst fics that would get made of him!! Crazy!! maybe fics abt the author interpreting what his past could've been too,,, gets written off as "the silly guy" and nothing else more.

Jun (HE/HIM) pinksun

OH MY GOD HED TOTALLY BE GIVEN A TUMBLR SEXY MAN HUMAN DESIGN. im so sorry they would take them and turn him into a twink

also i feel like she'd totally get characterized as overly mean and snarky for no reason. all nuance of their backstory is gone theyd just be considered sassy and mean and girlboss slay thats the personality

i think her angst would be super played up too, as if it was the only thing that ever happened to them and now theyre just sad and mean and angsty forever instead of like normal and happy with her wife and kid now?? who needs a good happy ending when theres angst and a tragic backstory /s

v AGWJSKF THIS IS SO REAL DW IT CAME ACROSS VERY FUNNY 😭😭 the idea of the shipping discourse.... in Tears

Stop Sign Awake_Ache

On god, peopel are having a war over Jun. Instead of just looking at him and think 'Ah, a feminine gay man perfect to enoy with my morning tea :)', people are attacking eachother over him. This character brings out the worst in people. Not because it's a bad character, no it's an amazing character. It's a pretty character. A pretty boy character who is confirmed gay.

'I drew him in his canon outfit!'

'HOW DARE YOU THIS IS ERASURE OF FEMININE MEN! WE ALL KNOW HE'S A GAY UWU BOY THAT LOVES DRESSES AND MAKEUP AND HATES WOMEN!!! YOU ARE EVIL!'

"I Ship Jun with my OC!"

"THAT IS THE WORST I HATE OC X CANON SHIPS SO CRINGE WE ALL KNOW THAT HIS SOULMATE IS JING!"

"UGH YOU ARE SO VANNILLA FOR SHIPPING THAT, WE ALL KNOW THE REAL SOULMATE IS *censored due to the sheer audacity.*"

But luckily, that's only half of the fandom. The rest of the fandom is able to get his personality scarilly correct in terms of- Everything! They know every fact about him, they appricate his character, they enjoy shipping and keeping their orginal personalities! They have to constantly defend themselves, however, for loving this character :(

Basically, imagine how the MHA fandom was with Deku.

(I hope this came off as a little funny! I genuinly love your character! His design and color pallet is so pretty! I would gen be so obsessed with him if he was in a show! But not toxically. I promise :( )


VV OH MY GOD NOT THE WOOBIFICATION THAT WOULD MAKE ME SO UPSET IF I EVER GOT A FANDOM THAT DID THAT T^T

Neru sivanhe

HMMM YES LETS SEE HOW I CAN RUIN HIM /lh /j

Reduced down to either a soft UwU baby who can do nothing wrong or an angst magnet, or an unholy combination of both. Any semblance of depth is thrown out the window for the sake of woobification. I feel like he would be also drawn as hyper-feminine because fandoms do that to literally every LGBT+ male character in existence.

Then you have the shipping discourse. People completely ignore his bisexuality and probably make him exclusively gay, and anyone trying to correct them will be bombarded with "ERMMM NO HE'S GAY BECAUSE OF THIS (non-canon) SHIP!!" and various threats.

--------------------------------------------

NOOOO NOT THE ONE SIDED SHIPPING 😭 /lh

"Agent" AbsolutelyHuman

Claim (sorry same character, I love him a lot)

I feel like fanon would frame him as very desperate for attention and love. But also very edgy and emo(sans treatment). Would be shipped with literally everyone he interacted with but it would be more of a one-sided clingy relationship. He would ABSOLUTELY have a Tumblr sexy man version and a lot of fanarts would depict him as a human with "skull horns". Although a lot of artists would forget and ignore his scar and broken horn. Might also get pushed into the "loser boy who plays guitar" stereotype and get memed with Midwest emo and such. And everyone would forget he's half Japanese. 

VALKO (THE MILITANT) avienary

in my experience characters like agent usually get turned from competent, serious killers into chaotic evil sexymen that kill for fun and are thirst trapped to hell. i feel like he'd be fanonized similarly to the likes of konig and ghost, ie, turned into just "hot dominant man".

in terms of design people would make his hair longer and also twinkify him. also, the rule of always wearing sunglasses would be completely ignored and people would draw him with them off all the time. wardrobe wise, he'd just be completely feminized (to go with the forced twinkification) and put in the most uncharacteristic schoolgirl skirts and thigh highs. literal torture.

(edit changed character i totally forgot im reworking rev's profile) (read valko's main profile if you want more backstory!)
