New fandoms meme

[flo_nelja]

So, I'm not talking about my fandoms enough, and we could be in the same fandom and not now, that's why I'm doing this meme again

Here are the fandoms I got into last year:

* The Summer Hikaru Died
* Succession
* Gradalis
* Nevermore
* Blue Eye Samurai
* Hazbin Hotel + Helluva Boss
* The Magnus Protocol
* Undead Girl Murder Farce
* Lady Snowblood
* Dead Boy Detectives
* For all Mankind
* Dungeon Meshi


If you're in them too and want to talk about them, I'll answer these questions:

1) The reason I started it
2) Since when I knew it existed
3) Since when I was interested
4) If I'm interested in fanfic/fanart
5) If I'm tempted to write about it
5') And about what
6) Favorite characters
7) Favorite ships
8) Favorite parts
9) Why I would rec it
10) One of its biggest flaws

You can also ask me a fandom you just discovered if you know I was already in it, of course:


Je peux aussi le faire en français si c'est mieux



1) Pourquoi j'ai commencé
2) Depuis quand je savais que ça existait
3) Depuis quand j'étais intéressée
4) Si je suis intéresséee par les fanfic/fanart
5) Si je suis tentée d'écrire dessus
5') Et sur quoi
6) Personnages préférés
7) Ships préférés
8) Parties préférées
9) Pourquoi je le recommanderais
10) Un de ses plus gros défauts

How do ghosts' sense of touch work, if they ever have one, what can they feel and what can't they? (come on it's ghost romance, that should be one of the points)

Yes, exactly! I read some fan fics and of course, everyone has a slightly different interpretation because we have no canonical info or some contradicting canonical info (I mean, I think Charles says something about not being able to feel Crystal's kiss. But they never seem to have any problem, turning the pages of books or whatever, or any of the other things that are difficult to do when your fingers are numb.)

How do ghosts picking up objects work? How do you skip from you pick up some scissors and humans see them move in the air, to you pick up scissors and they become part of your inventory and as invisible as you are?

I actually didn't think about this at all! It is so rare that we see them from the point of view of someone who doesn't see ghosts.

I also wondered about the disguises. I didn't understand how that worked. Like, they can become visible, but only if they are in disguise? But why can't they just wear a "disguise" that is identical to their actual appearance? Then Crystal wouldn't have to go around looking like she was talking to her herself all the time...

Edwin textually says, in episode 7, can touch things, can't actually feel them.
Except at this point he's just back from hell where dead people sure can feel things.

I'd say "can't touch thing" is short from "can't feel pleasure or pain from it", even if yeah, it's not actually fully numb.
Though "they look like touching but they actually do it with their mind" works too.

But even for the kissing, I think it doesn't match Edwin's reaction to Monty or the Cat King flirting, you know? Him never mentioned I did/could barely feel anything physical.
(for the Cat, you could say, yeah, maybe it's only the human/ghost rule, and with other supernatural creatures you feel it. But he believes Monty is human at this point)


But why can't they just wear a "disguise" that is identical to their actual appearance? Then Crystal wouldn't have to go around looking like she was talking to her herself all the time...

It's possible they don't design the disguises? They buy them in a magic shop like Mick's and there are limited choices. Or they were given them as payment, and once again, they were specific.
But yeah it's not clear. Ghost economy isn't clear in general (and my question about picking up objects are just a part of it)

I think I am not so bothered about the ghost inventory question because it doesn't come up so much in the show nor in fanfic, unless someone is to write a fic from the POV of someone who doesn't see ghosts.

I think the show is not consistent about it anyway. Because you remember there is that scene where one of them makes a pair of scissors walk along the table to threaten someone? Only the scissors are visible. Meanwhile, of course, their clothes are not visible... I guess it's supposed to be like that they can control what is inside and outside their "invisible inventory"?

For the sense of touch, I like best the version where Edwin and Charles can touch each other as two alive humans can, even if human/ghost touch is "numb". Because of course that headcanon is the one that works the best for Charles/Edwin smut! ;D

Ha yeah. As I was saying, there's quite an importance on being paid and buying things in magic shops, I think it wouldn't be that important if they could just pick up something and say, it's mine now.

I would like some smut also, I won't lie. But it's frustrating that I'm always wondering, does it work? Can they actually do this?
