hey there
Jan. 5th, 2026 05:25 pmname: aatrox
age: early 20s
country: im in latin america.
subscription/access policy: i dont plan on making anything friends/access only, not right now anyway. so sub if you think reading my stuff would be cool. i dont plan on posting any NSFW, and id appreciate if you didnt give me access if you post NSFW frequently.
main fandoms: switches a lot, but currently its sega dreamcast games (especially sonic & phantasy star), pokemon, league of legends, and madoka magica.
other fandoms: mario & dk, undertale, 07th expansion, danganronpa, touhou, ace attorney, fighting games, homicipher, houseki no kuni. i have more interests on my sticky post, but its a bit outdated.
fannish interests: art, selfshipping, meta & analysis. also into internet archeology, which naturally bleeds over to fandom. i dont read fanfics.
ships: hard time naming any that would match with someone else nowadays, because all i like is crackships. its easier to name ships i dislike than like.
i like to post about: ive been mostly posting reviews of games ive played recently, but like i said i might start posting more general stuff. i dont currently plan on posting anything thats too outside fannish interests, so dont worry if you dont want to see unrelated rambles.
journal info: i make lenghty posts that ramble a lot and i dont typically cut them. SORRY.
other info: i dont plan on getting into this kind of discourse here, but right off the bat, if youre into ships that are between adult and children, or incest, or indulge in erotic content that involves characters who are children, dont interact with me please. for less serious topics, we might not get super along if youre more into works that are live action/use real actors, its just not stuff im into. finally im a selfshipper and its a big part of my online identity; feel free to ask for details if youre also into that, but dont involve me in discourse.
Snowflake Challenge 2026: Prompt 2
Jan. 5th, 2026 09:52 am
Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom
Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!
It's like this prompt was made for me! All of my cats for the last couple decades have been named after robots. Here's the current two:

This is Mirage, named after the Transformers character. She thinks her name is Memes, because that's what her nickname morphed into over a couple of months. She's very sweet, very shy, and got her name by vanishing into a pile of stuffed animals so well I sat next to her for twenty minutes and didn't realize she was there.

And this is Springs, named after Springer from Transformers. Her shelter name was Pogo; when the staff asked if I'd be changing it, I said probably, all of my cats are named after robots, so while I was filling out paperwork they were looking up Transformers to name her after, and that's who we picked. It's fitting; she can go from floor to the top of the cat tree in one bounce. My one single surviving houseplant may have to come to work with me.
As for pets in canon, there's a few to choose from. Transformers canon has Thundercracker's dog Buster, and I'm fond of Apollo Justice's dubiously canonical cat Mikeko from some of the Ace Attorney extras (someday I'll write the Klavdarpollo accidental kitten acquisition fic). But I think my favorite mostly-canonical cat is Meowgatron.

My access list is empty except for me and my working drafts so if you grant me access to your journal and I don't return the gesture, it's not personal.
Main Fandoms: Ace Attorney, Sasaki and Miyano, Hirano and Kagiura, SVSSS, 2ha, Inazuma Eleven, Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
Other Fandoms: everything in the interests section of my profile is something I would love talk to other folks about!
Fannish Interests: Writing (meta, fanfiction, original fiction), reading fanfic, reading about people's blorbos and meta from series I'm interested.
OTPs and Ships: I have a whole list in my journal.
I like to post about: Currently, I post about meta, media roundups, recs, and the occasional experimental post. My journal is strictly about my fannish interests so it's highly unlikely you'll see anything about my personal irl life outside of my hobbies.
About Me/Other Info: I would love to become mutuals with people with similar general interests as I love to learn about new things. I'm a thousand percent more likely to become interested in something new to me if I read about how much it means to you!
I'm taking part in the

Batman: Journey to the Center of the Multiverse by AddictedApple
Jan. 4th, 2026 06:10 pmPairings/Characters: Kyle Rayner/Jason Todd, Jason Todd & Everyone
Rating: Teen
Length: 90k words
Creator Links: AddictedApple at AO3
Theme: crack treated seriously
Summary: Jason Todd discovers that he can travel through the multiverse (on top of his usual weirdness, ie, immortality) and chaos ensues.
Reccer's Notes: I recently fell hard into the Batman fanfic space, and this story bowled me right over. It takes Jason's canon resurrection (and the bizarre canon explanation for it), then posits a slow growth of powers from there -- from a recurring inability to stay dead, through the ability to skip universes, and beyond. All the canon reboots become a part of the story, and the pairing is a hilarious portrait of two guys being oblivious. Each chapter's notes contain extensive canon citations, which adds another level of awesomeness. Great fun and very affecting.
[Edited to add] Content note: The starting author notes include, "I will now put a blanket trigger warning for everything that happens in DC canon." That should be taken very seriously; the cited DC canon gets dark, and many abusive canon events are included in this story.
