Greetings, everyone.

Originally, I was going to inquire about everyone's thoughts on birthdays and whether or not to adjust for time discrepancies between here and back home, but then I stumbled upon something most peculiar.

Phanfiction.net

This is a real site, and it seems to be run largely by the cognitions. There are stories about us, and many of them are quite absurd.

One of the summaries is...

"Falcon struggles with whether or not to honestly answer a captcha."

And then there's...

"Aki-chan brings home a pet dinosaur and has to hide it in his closet."

There are... interesting stories about myself and some of the people I am close to. There's even a fic about Igor's supposed history as a heartbreaker.

But perhaps the most perplexing is a bizarre love triangle between Falcon, Phoenix, and the Ren that goes by Fiend.

At any rate, read at your own discretion. I think it's all rather absurd and worth a laugh, but there is the ethical concern of our likenesses being used without consent.

If I see another story in which I awaken Ren through a kiss, why, I believe I'll break something.

I'm not certain what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.

Not a fan of the Sleeping Beauty trope?

I suppose it would be rather awkward when it's about you specifically.

[seekerofjustice]

It's not so much the trope itself, but more so making light of the situation that frustrates me. Imagine how easy it would be if I could just kiss him awake.

It's also quite awkward.

That said, the one of Sparrow and myself at the coffee shop was a pleasant one. Quite mundane, but a nice story.

(...Dove, there wasn't even a plot to that story, it was just them meandering in a coffee shop.)

It makes sense. Sadly, we can't expect reason from the cognitions.

To be honest, after a certain film manifested, I really should have anticipated this sooner.

Granted, some of the stories are amusing to make fun of, but the lack of consent is still a problem.

[seekerofjustice]

I suppose I will simply have to accept that the stories exist. It could be much worse, I suppose.

There could be more of the psychological horror stories. I think I've been blessed with cognitions that prefer romance over suffering.

[fogbornphantom]

Sadly, that's often the case with fanfiction.

Some stories balance plot and romance with platonic relationships, but shipping is by far the majority of most fandom spheres.

Though it's rather odd to think of our lot as a fandom.
