[id: a digital sketch of kim kitsuragi and his parents. kim here is a little over a year old, looking over his shoulder taking his first steps away from his mom, who sits crossed legged behind him, hands ready to catch him and beaming with pride. kim steps towards his dad, who sits on a stool and holds onto kim's hands, smiling. /end id]

can i give him like a couple good moments with his parents....

also, bonus sketch that was originally from an ask:

I would say that recreating the characterisation, mood and general vibes of an existing work of fiction is in fact a skill in and of itself that's acquired via practice. A common compliment delivered to fanfiction writers is how well they have captured the spirit of the original work. Inexperienced fanfiction writers fail to do this.

When creating an original character you can, ultimately, say anything about them and now it's canon bcos you created them and you said so. conversely, well, if you are covering a well known song and start playing the wrong notes people will notice immediately.

In addition: a lot of fanfiction, IMO, is in actuality a form of metafictional literary analysis. a story where two characters sit down and talk about their feelings about a canonical event? literary analysis, which is of course a skill. Sometimes fanfiction is bad bcos the writer is not good at interpreting texts.

When you hear a story about a Guy, wanting to tell a story about them is the most natural thing in the world. That's how mythology and folk tales happen.

IMO the idea of fanfiction being "bad" or "cringe" as an artform is related to how activities have to be profitable to be considered valuable, but further than that it is related to how "owning" is considered to be preferred over "caretaking" or "stewardship" where you do not own, you just participate
