I am asquee over the Thundercats reboot

[dragovianknight]

Which, apparently, translates into...wanting to write classic!T-cats fic. (I do expect this to change once we have more episodes.) There is a really good chance that if I write, it will be some sort of fusion in which Cheetara kicks ass and saves the boys kind of a lot. My levels of "Cheetara Cheetara CHEETARA!" are matched only by my levels of "I would jump Tygra in a heartbeat." Since I was never a Tygra girl, I find the latter rather...disturbing. (For the record, I would also jump Cheetara in a heartbeat, but that, I consider a given.)

Classic!T-cats was second to Classic!GI Joe in my younger days (I won't say childhood because I don't think high school counts), and yet I've never written GI Joe fic or wanted to, despite the level of awesome GI Joe Renegades reached. Likewise, no desire to write Voltron fic (actually, I think Voltron Force counts as "what happened next" Voltron fic, complete with OCs, and I mean that in the best possible way.)

(Meanwhile, I want ALL the Transformers Prime fic, even though my interest in G1 is...well, is limited to the fact that G1 is what most of the people I read, write. I'm sure I watched G1 because it was there, but truth is, I doubt I could pick more than a dozen characters out of a lineup. I feel somewhat guilty for this, like I'm somehow failing at fandom for liking the reboot instead of the original, rather than in addition to, but...hell, I came into Transformers through Beast Wars, I'm already the red-headed stepchild in this fandom.)

No, this post really doesn't have a point. It's late, I'm rambling, reboots are awesome, Thundercats needs to bring in Pumyra so I can write femslash. The end.

Edit: Today's fic_promptly theme is "female characters." This may have been slightly relevant to my interests.

Edit2: Yeah, I pretty much could have kept going all night - I really don't joke when I say it's all girls all the time around here - but a) it's 1:30 and I have work tomorrow, and b), I think once you've prompted for a Blackarachnia vs Airachnid one-upsmanship competition, it's time for bed. It should be noted I really, really, REALLY want someone to write that for me, by the way.

So much yes, with the Thundercats reboot. I. I always loved Tygra, so this new version of him is ... like, dude, I don't even care if it makes me a furry anymore. ;P

Everyone is so awesome! So in conclusion: yes, you should write fic.

Hahaha, he is irresistible and knows it and yet somehow still manages to make it work. I. I just. Yes. Tygra. ♥

I don't know why but I never cared about Thundercats. >>;;

I am the same kind of with TFP I started more on TFP. I have yet to see all the G1 but am watching them slowly. I still need to see a few G1 s2 and then on the 3 and 4 and 5? I think. I love fanfic from G1 and Prime though, not so much the others as I have not seem them yet. ^^;

Lol staying up late can be bad. XD;

My sister was a huge Thundercats fan, so I blame her for infecting me.

Beast Wars and TFP are really the only Transformers incarnations that have ever worked for me. Don't know if it's the smaller cast sizes or what.
