All that and more answered on this very page!
If you're curious about the sick monst- I mean- author, check out my 'about' page! Otherwise, read onward...
This is not really all that interesting, but it's my website, okay? I can make a stupid page like this if I want to. Mostly, I just feel that something like this is embarrassing and I should explain myself. And clarify that I know it's weird, stupid, embarrassing, ridiculous, pointless, incorrect, OOC (out of character), lacking media literacy, a waste of time, not worthwhi... uh, I'm getting a little carried away. Hehe.
So, this is CharmHub! It exists so that I can organize my thoughts and keep a record of all of the relevant panels and ideas to my...um, DC comics ship. It is also a way for me to pick up HTML and website design again! I remember basically none of it so it's like I'm starting from scratch. It's fun! So, the website has a two-fold purpose.
The site name is stupid. I just took Guy's city, Baltimore, which is nicknamed Charm City & combined it with Ted's city, Hub City... I know Ted was from Chicago and then is now technically from Jaime's city in Texas...but I'm a Hub City believer. I said it was stupid, okay...
Also, this site is totally self-serving. I've gone on so many long and garbled tangents about them/the ship, and have to put my foot down and release my family and loved ones from this hell. And instead make a hellscape of my thoughts.
I've also run into instances where I thought "wait, I don't remember if that's actually legit or not", so I want to have a record of all relevant information and panels.
How'd we get here?
So I actually started shipping this by...accident, almost? Which, as they say, is how all great stories begin. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation, huh? Smirks, crosses arms, raises eyebrow, and looking into the camera knowingly. Wow, what a compelling tale. Anyway,
I played with the idea because I already shipped Guy Gardner and Booster Gold (long story), and I knew that Booster Gold and Blue Beetle were THE thing that was the bestest thing ever and you just had to love it and how could you not and etcetcetc. It was shilled by the comics. I know devisive writer Tom Taylor loves it...
IDK who is even reading this website, but there's this concept called 'OT3' which is the lazy answer to any kind of situation where two relationships in fiction involving the same character compel someone...combining both pairings into one so you don't have to multitask multiple AUs where either one is viable, or something. So I was like...what about Guy and Ted? If it's an OT3, they probably interact somewhat, right?
Cue a few jokey doodles of it, spend some time ruminating, glimpse the miniscule amount of preexisting, and now we're here.
The final step, as with all great stories, is resolving to create an entire website dedicated to it so you stop annoying everyone alive with your nonsense.
If you're curious about the ship itself, go read my manifesto, if you can stomach it.
