Let's switch things up for today with a little history lesson.
The very first cartoon fandom that I got immersed into was Teen Titans (2003-6). I was a superhero kid of kid (as I imagine most kids were around that time), which was nice.
...I say this like I was a kid back then instead of in the latter years of high school, but just ignore that.
Teen Titans, in my opinion, was pretty much the best cartoon at the time. It had everything anyone could want: action, drama, hilarity, suspense.
I think I'm forgetting something.
Oh yeah. The shipping.
I joined a forum named the RBSU (Raven/Beast Boy Shippers United) off of the suggestion of a fanfic author I really enjoyed (who is now one of my closest friends). I joined the forum almost ten years ago, and now I'm glad to say the people I have met there have grown to be very close friends of mine.
Even though the forum is now basically defunct (although you can still visit it), it was a good stepping stone for my views on fanfiction and fandoms in general.
Oh yeah, and the shipping.
As easily figured by the title of the forum, I was a BB/Raven shipper. Now, I say shipper, but it was more of the mild variety. It was nothing like what occurs nowadays, because we didn't have Twitter and all of these social websites back in the day. Heck, Facebook wasn't even that big back in '03.
Even now, I think TT ended at a point where it didn't manager to get caught up in social media.
Of course, this might all change with Teen Titans Go!.
Speaking of which, I watched the first episode. Pretty funny. Having all of old VAs back really helps, even though Hynden Walsh and Tara Strong's voice (IMO) have somehow gotten slightly deeper over time. Or maybe it's just me.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to more episodes, and especially the ideas that I can come up with for fanfiction.
Which comes to my other point.
The Phineas and Ferb fic that I'm currently working on (This Crazy Little Thing) is going to be updated, and hopefully on Friday, but there are two things happening right now that have the caused the almost month delay to it:
1.) Getting back into the Teen Titans mix (watching old episodes, seeing TTGo!, and the like) and the aforementioned fics
2.) Writing Chapter 2, having parts of Chapter 4 and the ideas all ready to go...and having no idea what to put in Chapter 3.
...Whoops.
Transitions, kids. They're important.
Hopefully Ch. 3 will be up on Friday, as well as my third TT fic. It won't be a serious one.
Good lord, it won't be a serious one.
And before anyone asks: No, I'm not done with Phineas and Ferb. Still want to finish this story, and then I'll have some decisions to make. But stay tuned for that.
Later, ladies and gents.

BH6 Character File #4 - Kate Bishop (Hawkeye)
This was originally planned to be made further down the road, but with her new solo and the spotlight on her in the new series, I can't waste the perfect opportunity to get people introduced to the most famous archer in the Marvel Universe. Oh wait, wrong one. There we go. Spoilers will be abound for all mediums, including her comics, the "Hawkeye" series, and on the fanfiction front in "The Straight and Arrow". The Past Comic Background Name – Katherine "Kate" Bishop Code Name – Hawkeye (among others) Comic Age – 20 by Young Avengers Vol. 2 (2013) First Appearance – Young Avengers #1 (2005) The daughter of wealthy Manhattanites, Kate Bishop felt she had to rely on herself and no one else. After the death of her mother and witnessing her father beat up an associate in her home, she became isolated, very blunt, and stubborn. She never felt like she fit in with the rich and famous and attempted to distance herself from that lifestyle. She became infatuated with the idea of
My Thoughts on Hyper-Potamus Pizza-Party-Torium
(Crossposted from Tumblr) Normally I don’t give my thoughts on individual episodes until after the full block has aired, but this is sort of a special case this season with the format change and all. Thus, we’re doing this now. Spoilers for “HPPPT” are following (and no, I’m not typing it out every single time). Ready? OK, then. I thought that the episode was very good. It doesn’t hurt that we have been waiting very patiently for new episodes since February (and even longer because of the pandemic). And given that this is the only full-length episode this season, that makes the details all the more fine. The main premise of the episode is what I assume is going to be the main theme of the season: Go Go, Honey Lemon, and Wasabi going out and joining the workforce, thus leaving Hiro, Baymax, and Fred “alone” on the team. And while I do appreciate the moments with Hiro and the team (and also with Aunt Cass) saying that they’ll always be a family, it sort of falls flat for a few
BH6 Character File #3 - Peni Parker (Spider-Mech)
File #3 pertains to the character that I've had to take probably the most amount of luxuries upon when it came to her character. The truth is that unlike Aspen before her, she doesn't have a lot of history. She's a little newer than Robbie Reyes, with a fraction of the appearances. In fact, she didn't get a spike in popularity until Into The Spider Verse came out. I am, of course, talking about Ms. Peni Parker, the pilot of SP//dr. As always, spoilers are abound for both the comics and my stories. You've been warned. The Past Comic Background Name – Peni Parker Code Name – N/A Comic Age – 14 (High School-age) First Appearance – Edge of Spider-Verse #5 Peni Parker was created by Gerard Way and Jake Wyatt, the former of which was the lead singer for My Chemical Romance. But this isn't his first time in comics, back in 2007, he created and wrote the first two renditions of a little series called The Umbrella Academy, which now has its own superstar series on Netflix. But we're
BH6 Character File #2 - Aspen Matthews (Fathom)
So the subject of this next character file is perhaps the most mysterious one out of everybody that I've added to my stories so far. The reason she's mysterious is because she's not a Marvel character. She also doesn't belong to DC Comics. She is a part of her own, self-named comic company, Aspen MLT. And before I get into who she is, you need to know a little bit about her creator. The Past Comic Background Name - Aspen Matthews Code Name - N/A Comic Age - Unknown (at least 21) First Appearance - Fathom (1998) Aspen Matthews was the creation of Michael Turner, an artist then hired by Top Cow Productions as an artist. In 1998, Fathom debuted and was a successful property for four years. In the year 2000, Turner was diagnosed with bone cancer, and he departed Top Cow two years later to start his own publishing company. Top Cow would later sue over the rights of Aspen as well as other properties that Turner had been working on, and the two would settle their case out of court a
