Doesntafraid Reads Fanfic

Title: Song Without  A Name (SWAN)
Author: Lady YateXel (or on tumblr)
Fandom: Johnny The Homicidal Maniac (Yes, really)
Warnings: I actually don’t remember, probably self-harm and minor violence between high-schoolers. Poverty. Unreality. 
Summary: "Reincarnation is complicated, and apparently, not a refined system. When the lines between lives are blurry at best, and memories seep in from the person you were, do you stay the person you are? Who do you want to be, and do you want to be seen?“

When he bothered to look, he saw three people in the mirror. They were layered over each other, and each layer was a little older and a little more gaunt than the layer in front of it, but they were all him. Where age and fullness of face and facial hair tried to trick him, he could always line up the eyes.

 One of the other people in the mirror had made a decision, and he, the latest sheet in the stack, was the result. He’d volunteered to be here, or at least one of him had. It was hard not to wonder how much he deviated from the palest, oldest-looking man in the back, and the man in the middle hadn’t expected to be reborn so poorly when he signed up, but the teenager in front shouldn’t have known that any of the others existed, let alone how they felt. Instead, he existed in a strange vacuum: no family, no connections, a big empty house, and a brain that was anything but.

Doesntafraid says: I first read this story 6-7 years ago, in high school with my first girlfriend. It’s one of those things that is wrapped up in a million conversations and feelings and songs from a time in my life that I remember fondly, so it’s oddly nostalgic to be rec’ing this.

If you were an angry goth kid in the 2000s, you probably read a frankly bizarre comic book called Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. The comic is a rage fantasy of the creator of Invader Zim, who created a character (Johnny) who kills a bunch of people brutally for petty reasons. In the world of JtHM, everyone and everything is disgusting and the world may or may not exist. 

This fic is a band/highschool AU of that. Kind of. With songs. And boys kissing.

Just read it.

I’m gonna reblog this like a tool because it makes me happy to see it.

“I know that we have grown apart and that’s as it should be. We learn what we can from certain people, then we move on after we’ve taken what we need. When we learn nothing new about ourselves in a relationship that’s when the relationship is over. Or it’s over the moment when we’re afraid to learn something new about ourselves.”

Holy fuck, I don’t know how to even

I think I need to lie down. 

This has been Disproportionately Strong Reactions to a Tumblr Blog with LYX.

hyenafan:

Finished the fanfic and the sequel. It was strange. Well written, but strange. It’s not nearly as bad as a Jem and The Holograms/JTHM crossover sounds. The songs in peoples’ heads thing is weird, but maybe that’s from the show? Anyway, it was enjoyable (i mean i read the thing in 3 days), but the end made me sad. Half because of what happened and half because it was over.

Now back to trying to watch the rest of Supernatural and drawing stuff.

Apologies if it’s weird if I comment!  That’s my giant disaster you went through in three days, haha.  (Good lord, kudos!) 

I just wanted to let you know there’s actually no Jem crossover at all! A graphic of Jem on a flyer for an 80s dance was just the inspiration for some drawings that spawned the band, which itself then spawned the whole story. The Jem aesthetic also helped inspire some of the extra weird shit I’ve dressed them in, but Jem and SWAN/ISH don’t share any elements other than there being music in every episode.

So the inner song stuff wasn’t from anything, it was all me and my poor planning at the time, haha.  I’m working it in better this second time around.  

But thanks a ton for reading it! I think I was aiming for strange when I first put it together, so that’s nice to hear in a weird way.  I’m also glad it enjoyable enough to suck down in three days!  (And glad that you were sad? I mean that in the best way possible.)

Just a heads up, I’m going to be in Washington, D.C this weekend (starting tomorrow), which is an enormous drive for me, but it also puts me in D.C on Monday with nothing special to do since the person I am visiting has work.  

Anyone in that vicinity want to have brunch or something? Talk about DS9 or Johnny junk, doodle some shit or not, whatever, before I peace out and head back across PA?

I’m just trying to make the vaguest of plans at the moment, this may change, but figured I’d ask!
