This Week's Installment of Fiction Friday Will Be In The "Form Of" A SuperFriends Wonder Twins Fanfic!
Zan: "Hey, what sort of ethnicity are we supposed to represent? Are we Hispanic or Asian? Hispanic, I think."
Jayna: "I think we might be some sort of just 'generalized ethnicity' to cover anyone who wasn't feeling sufficiently pandered to by the inclusion of Black Vulcan, Samurai and Enekchock."
Zan: "His name's Apache Chief."
Jayna: "He likes me to call him Enekchok."
Zan: "...I don't want to think about the implications of that..."
Jayna: "It's safer for me to be the one saying it."
Zan: "I really don't want to think about it."
Jayna: "You know, if we're meant to cover the Hispanic/Latino demographic, I think that's pretty weak. I mean...we're aliens. A little bit 'on the nose,' isn't it?"
Zan: "Apache Chief should be the leader of the SuperFriends. He's the only one with any real-world leadership experience or credentials."
Jayna: "No, no - Aquaman's a king."
Zan: "Oh yeah that's true. Well then it should be Aquaman, right? King outranks chief."
Jayna: "Yeah, from a really biased, Western-European perspective maybe! And not even there. A king might report to like, an emperor, or a Pope for instance."
Zan: "They're Atlanteans. I don't think they're Catholic."
Jayna: "I'm just pointing out the relative absolute rank values. A king's not necessarily the top dog in his own system. But in the indigenous-American org chart, the chief answers to no one. He's the top dog."
Zan: "Top dog, top bear, top wolf, top eagle. It varies by tribe."
Jayna: "So wait. This is a fanfic, right? Should we be...you know. Going in for any kinky brother-sister stuff?"
Zan: "Gross, Jayna! That's just sick. You know I've never seen you that way."
Jayna: "It's the ears, isn't it?"
Zan: "The ears are a big turnoff, yes. Sorry!"
Jayna: "Screw you too, pal. Yours are the same way!"
Zan: "Yeah, but it's different for guys."
Jayna: "Another double standard."
Zan: "Sad but true."
Jayna: "You know, the very term 'fanfic' is kind of a misnomer in this case. I was never a fan of us at all."
Zan: "Oh, you're bringing me to tears - and I'm already all wet! Why don't you quit whining and peck me with that sexy eagle-beak of yours, I'm sick of hanging around in this bucket."
Janya: "Later for that. It's Friday, remember?"
Zan: "Oh yeah! Guadalupe's coming by...to fawn over you, and scrub-a-dub with me! Hey, you better get into your cage. Remember last week she was early!"
Jayna: "She can't wait to see me. That girl's a bird lover!"
Jayna: "I think we might be some sort of just 'generalized ethnicity' to cover anyone who wasn't feeling sufficiently pandered to by the inclusion of Black Vulcan, Samurai and Enekchock."
