When fanart goes badly, badly wrong

[weewarrior]

I have just seen drawings of Rorschach making out with Batman.

...

I need bleach. Or absinthe. Or a lobotomy.

Oh gods, how can I unsee that?!

I think I've heard of that exchange between Moore and the editor. The comic industry seems to be quite scary in that regard - I read girl-wonder.org on occasion, and some things make your head spin.

As for the Joker, I think a rather obvious reason for sue- or woobification would be Heath Ledger. I'm sure there is more fic about him than Nicholson's or even Mark Hamill's Joker.

Of course, Rorschach's sexual and intimacy issues would be regarded as the perfect starting point for a "needs only to find the right woman/man" plot by certain people (see stories above, I presume).

Slashers: at least Rorschach/Dan is somewhat in the vicinity of their actual relationship. My mind boggles a lot more over Rorschach/Ozymandias, which seems rather unlikely from both sides.

I bet, though Mark Hamill's Joker has the canon love interest, so on theory should get the people willing to ship same. (Joker/Harley: just like Simm!Master/Lucy for cartoon watchers?)

Rorschach/Ozymandias:.... Yeah. Brain break in every direction. Though I guess once you've had your mind set on Rorschach having sex, you can read his calling Adrian a prostitute who sold out in their chapter 1 encounter as a barely hidden expression of desire, and position that Rorschach Is Just That Irresistable in lack of any possible explanation why Ozmandias would want to have sex with him. (Much like Snape, whom in fanfiction also the entire Potterverse wants to jump, which I always thought would both irritate and astonish good old Severus to no end.)

That would work so well it's creepy. (Would we then go with Batman/Nine?)

and position that Rorschach Is Just That Irresistable in lack of any possible explanation why Ozmandias would want to have sex with him.

I'm sure it's the mask. There are probably lots of fun things they could do with that mask. (I could imagine Ozymandias trying to convince Rorschach to turn it into a smiley.)

That begs for a parody from Snape's point of view.
