Meryl Stryfe

Meryl Stryfe is depicted in Trigun Stampede as a brand new journalist out on assignment with Roberto De Niro. She is headstrong, passionate, and the one in charge of driving the car (a vehicle she canonically forgets to charge!). Meryl is in her early 20's, and grew up in a larger city, where she attended university. She dreams of being the editor-in-chief someday, and proudly announces this intention when first introduced. She has a significant hand in driving the story, and is the force that keeps the group of Vash the Stampede, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Roberto de Niro, and herself traveling together. Her tenacity and sometimes ill-advised bravery has a significant effect on the jaded veteran reporter Roberto, who in turn leaves a lasting impression on Meryl through his reluctant mentorship. Meryl also plays a major role in the first season's climax; she once again demonstrates both extreme bravery and a deep faith in her friends. 
==Fanworks==
As of January 2024, there are 1,822 pieces of fanfiction on ao3 tagged with Meryl Stryfe (other fanfiction sites are not yet included in these counts). She is most commonly romantically paired with:
# Vash the Stampede (307 works to date)
# Vash the Stampede/Nicholas D. Wolfwood (233 works to date)
# Nicholas D. Wolfwood (172 works to date)

Mesmerizer

Mesmerizer (stylized as Mesmerizer!) is a fangame based on the 32ki Vocaloid and music video of the same name, created by Atena and a few others. It was released on Itch.io on June 16, 2024, to a growing positive fannish response. Its battle system is based on Undertale's, whilst utilizing references and characters from the original music video, including Akita Neru.
== Canon ==
Much like the music video it is based upon, the player takes the roles of both Kasane Teto, and later on, Hatsune Miku (dressed in their circus attire) as they travel across the world portrayed by the former in order to stay focused and bring back the aforementioned missing character (in this case, the yellow star in the vid).
Fans who have played the game note its battle and exploration system as being similar to OMORI and Undertale, owing to the whimsical nature of said fangame.

Mesperyian

Mesperyian is an alleged Greek god popularized by Tumblr.
==Canon Overview==
* from the Reddit thread . Posted by u/Viking_things to r/Tumblr on 29 October 2021.
==Background==
Mesperyian was introduced in a 2009 short story by SarahRenee titled "Mesperyian: Goddess of torture and punishment."Mesperyian: Goddess of torture and punishment by SarahRenee (2009) Despite this, she is frequently misattributed to an unknown 2015 Wattpad writer.
==Fandom==
Mesperyian occasionally appears in Percy Jackson fanfiction, often to the confusion of readers. 
===Early-Mid-2010s===
A 2012 Percy Jackson fanfic featured a daughter of Mesperyian.The War Begins by Justin2112 (2012–2014) She was also featured in a 2014 Supernatural fic.No Goodbyes, Please by Reading Is Smexy (2014)
The more popular 2015-2018 Percy Jackson/Harry Potter crossover fic "Sliver of Shadow," which was posted to Fanfiction.net and had hundreds of followers, featured Mesperyian as a major character who was introduced partway into the story as Nico di Angelo's sadistic sister. For some fans, this was their confusing first introduction to the character.Sliver of Shadow by qZhao (2015 - 2018), adopted by UnleashTheKnightmare (Percy Jackson x Harry Potter, 2018)
===Late-2010s and early 2020s===
Later, the character became emblematic of Tumblr's general credulity and disinclination to fact-check posts. See also "net zero information" meme (alt link, example of how it's used). 
Some Goncharov fans incorporated her into their canons.Ok but can we talk about all the allusions to the Greek goddess Mesperyian in Goncharov (1973)? by bluebandedagate (2022)

Message from Moonbase Alpha (Space: 1999 film)

Message from Moonbase Alpha is a fan-produced short film scripted by Johnny Byrne and directed by Tim Mallett.
The film featured a new performance by Zienia Merton reprising her role of Sandra Benes and also uses clips (including Merton and various other actors) from the series.
Filmed on August 29, 1999 in the UK, this 7 minute short film was shown at the Breakaway convention in Los Angeles on September 13, 1999. Fans often refer to this short film as 'the 49th episode'.
The original licensing deal from Carlton International did not allow it to be shown in public - or private - again. However, this was later overcome and the film was released to DVD in both France and the USA.
==Plot==
A picture emerges from static: it is Sandra Benes, speaking to camera. "This is Moonbase Alpha with our last transmission to the people of Earth." It is 20 years since they lost contact with Earth. The Moonbase life support systems are slowly failing. They are in range of a habitable planet, named Terra Alpha, for 6 days, insufficient for a thorough survey. It has been decided to abandon Alpha for the planet. Sandra is the last to leave the base. A slingshot effect may return the Moon to the planet in 25 years. Computer will encode Sandra's message using a device designed by Maya, to enable it to navigate time and space to reach Earth. Sandra signs off, her voice heavy with emotion: "Remember us."
The signal we see in the final shot is the Meta signal.

Messmer

Messmer, also known as Messmer the Impaler, is a character in Elden Ring.

===Common Tropes===
==Fanworks==
===Fanfic===
* The Eyes of a Sinner (Messmer/Tarnished, Messmer/Reader) by dionysusxian "..Tarnished, are we?" Messmer remarks, summoning long blades of flame from his palms. "No matter who you are or whence you came. Those who challenge me perish in the flame.." He said to the fabric-clad tarnished. (the first fanfic to feature Messmer on AO3, 2024)

Messmer/Tarnished

Messmer/Tarnished is the non-canon pairing of Messmer and the Tarnished from Elden Ring. 
==Canon==
The Tarnished meets Messmer in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and needs to kill him in order to acquire his flame so they can progress the game. Their only moment of contact is during the fight that results in Messmer's death. 
==Fandom==
The disparity between the tones with which Messmer was presented with during the initial trailer and how he sounded in reality, endeared him to fans, as he was initially perceived as forceful and driven, when in reality he is much more subdued and sorrowful. This lead to many fans considering him a Bad Boy Woobie.
With the appearance of Messmer, the number of self insert fanworks grew, with many of the Messmer/Tarnished pairings being Messmer/Reader or Messmer/Self insert.
===Common Tropes===
*Big Guy, Little Guy: Messmer is gigantic when compared to the Tarnished.
*Body Horror: Messmer is cursed, with his body housing the Base Serpent. Two smaller, friendly winged snakes also immerge from his body in its natural state. It's common for fanworks to feature health or mental issues he suffers due to this, usually depicted in a grotesque manner.
*Canon Rewrite: Due to the fact that the Tarnished kills Messmer in canon, most fanarts depict their relationship past (or pre) the fight, usually in some sort of domestic setting.
*Disability fic: Most fanworks depict Messmer with several disabilities, which are interpreted from his canon look and actions. These include: blindness (he, like Ranni and Melina, has one eye closed, but his other eye is a prostetic which he breaks during the fight. His snakes are many times used as his eyes in fandom), Scoliosis (due to the way his body is shaped by the serpents and how he leans on his spear).
*Domestic fic: The Tarnished and Messmer usually become Lord and Demi-god (a couple) and live the rest of their lives in Messmer's keep.
*Love-Hate Relationship: considering the canon path of the interaction with Messmer, many fanworks feature at least an initial period of a love-hate relationship.

Meta-Salon

Meta Salon, the "coffee house of meta", was designed as a place for people to discuss fandom meta issues on Livejournal.
Unlike Metafandom and Metablog, Metasalon was moderated and only had 5 posts over its four years of activity.
Topics:
*What is meta?
*Can fanfiction be considered a form of commentary* on the source material?
*How far have we come w/r/t gay people in entertainment? Can a young actor still be a star if he's out, or would it damage his career irreparably? Does America's huge fawning celebrity-worship industry make it impossible for an actor to escape his public persona? Is there any way for gay-positive fans to send the message that it's okay for public figures to come out?
*Sexualization of comics as a feminist statement
*Queerness in Fandom: Those of you who identify yourselves as bi/gay/transgender: do you feel your fandom has provided a welcoming and supporting environment for you as a writer? Or do you feel it insists or assumes that you are a heterosexual author writing slash pairings for a largely het audience?

Meta Knight's Revenge (From Kirby Super Star)

Meta Knight's Revenge (From Kirby Super Star) is a big band style fan arrangement of the music tracks 'Boarding the Halberd' and 'Havoc Aboard the Halberd' from the video game Kirby Super Star. It was composed by Charlie Rosen & Jake Silverman and performed by The 8-Bit Big Band. The track was first released on Backwards Compatible, The 8-Bit Big Band's third major album. 
The arrangement was nominated for and won in the category Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards on 3 April 2022. The win caused a large positive reaction from the Kirby fandom, resulting in a variety of celebratory and congratulatory fan art, memes, and other fanworks. Many video game news sites and blogs also created articles on the win.
== Initial reaction & reviews ==
== Grammy nomination and win ==
=== Nomination ===
Charlie Rosen, the leader of the 8-Bit Big Band, is a member of the The Recording Academy, the music industry group that juries and presents the Grammy Awards. Due to his membership, he self-submitted work from the 8-Bit Big Band for consideration in the 2022 Grammy Awards. Other submissions outside of 'Meta Knight's Revenge' included the album Backwards Compatible for the category Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album, and his arrangement of the track 'Lost in Thoughts All Alone' (from Fire Emblem: Fates) for the category Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals. An article for Fanbyte describes the self-submission as occurring 'on a whim'.
While it received less attention than the win, the initial nomination announcement on 23 Nov 2021 drew attention from Kirby fans and some video game news outlets.https://www.grammy.com/news/2022-grammys-complete-winners-nominees-nominations-list
=== Win ===
Many tweets announcing the award went viral, including tweets from the band's official Twitter accounthttps://twitter.com/the8bitbigband/status/1510721175009185793, The Recording Academyhttps://twitter.com/recordingacad/status/1510712388017827842, The Game Awardshttps://twitter.com/thegameawards/status/1510716530836729859, Kotakuhttps://twitter.com/Kotaku/status/1511011234782584837, and Denfaminicogamerhttps://twitter.com/denfaminicogame/status/1510810492226650115. In addition, a tweet from Masahiro Sakurai (the creator of Kirby) expressing surprise at the win went viral.
A common joke amongst both media outlets and Kirby fans was to claim that Kirby or Meta Knight won the award.
