So I have been on Wattpad for a few years now. I'm on it almost everyday, it's like a drug to me. However, ever since I joined, I have seen the ups and downs of the fanfics and their specific fandoms/series, and Wattpad in general.
So what did I do...
So...as part of the countdown for this rant, watch me rant about a topic that honestly feels so cringe that I'm surprised that I'm even doing it. At least it can't get any stupider than doing a rant on ship names. (also that McGonagall gif has been sitting in my phone since forever so why the hell not)
Well, we're here. I've mentioned in a few rants that I've read these fics from various fandoms, and that it's been an on/off guilty pleasure for me over the years.
My readers as I speak:

Yeah, yeah, I know, stop judging me.
But I'll be real with you: this on/off guilty pleasure started off as intense curiosity. I'm pretty sure at least one person took a good look at a series of books or movies and thought to themselves: what would the characters' reaction be if they actually saw the events in their lives happening from a different perspective and/or lens?
It's not a unique thought, and I assure you, at least one person in every fandom has had this running through their heads at some point. Hell, there are TikToks about Falcon and the Winter Solider with Tony, Steve and Natasha reacting to the events in the series from heaven, it's kinda hilarious.
