Maybe it's due the discussion about kinning and old Tumblr™ that made me remember this, maybe it's because I've been reading too much tumblr-aita, or this is just something that truly stuck to me, never to be forgotten. I am not posting this in the hopes that someone will know WTF I'm talking about, as this happened 15 years ago and the story was in Spanish. This is closer to venting and TL;DR.
This goes back to when I started to use the internet for something more than just YouTube to watch dumb videos, at 11 I discovered Pokeshipping thanks to, again, dumb videos (mostly AMVs in my futile search to find true scenes of the anime). Back then my English was trash and the translation tools weren't that great either. So one thing lead to another and I found fanfiction at 12. There was a site (of which I forgot the name) dedicated solely to store fanfiction in Spanish about those two, which honestly, was (probably) moderated decently, because I don't remember to have read harrowing/shocking shit in that place. The problem came when I finished all of the ones hosted there, going into the wild west of random ass fanforums, probably personal sites and, the then wilder, ffnet. Even then some of those stories I could immediately discard as boring or awful, others were "crash car" tier, those that are diamonds in the rough (nostalgia maybe) and the uniquely great fanfiction that if you told me their authors have made it big I wouldn't question it. But, there exist someone special in my memory.... not in the good way mind you.
This fanfic is placed in Hoenn,in the Advanced era probably. Ash is awoke and listening to a radio(?) And a romantic song (of course in Spanish) about separated lovers starts playing, he starts thinking about Misty and he decides to go find her or some shit. I stopped reading after the first chapter, because I shit you not, May wakes up to OoC Ash, and this fucker throws a big ass rock to her, killing her. No more though about this is given, Ash simply gives not fucks. Looking back at it, this whole thing is so ridiculous that I can't help but chuckle when remembering the details (but I still don't like to listen to that particular song). So, small me tries to find more about this author, and more of their works are in that site. In every story of theirs that May was present, she does. When Ash is not committing manslaughter of May, pokemon are the ones doing it, & I think in another story it was something like a character (80% sure it was Max) going "May is dead, lmao". Wild ass shit. Ofc I didn't read a fucking single thing of them, then I got better and found the videogames and haven't looked back to the anime since.
After some time, I tried to find the author again, but like a ghost I could never find them or the site. What I think disturbed me most, was the comments (I remember it was closer in UI to AO3) as most of them were encouraging the author.
lmao nonnie, fic where the author's least favorite character is creatively killed off in various ways is a pretty well known little genre in fandom, I remember my younger sibling wrote a ton of these about their least favorite warrior cat on our family computer in middle school
Wow what a throwback. I posted terribad Soul Eater fanfiction on ff.net in 2010! I heard that the site went down, I guess that cringe might be lost forever lol
