Someone posted an awful fanfic (? Alternate reality? What’s it called when it’s real life people? Is it just fiction and I am in fact a victim of the brain rot?) with Putin and zelensky, uh, bonding over the shared origins of Vladimir and Volodymir, that I began reading without realizing it wasn’t news until about halfway through when they kissed. (it was copy pasted)

Well it definitely would be news if that happened

It was weirdly well written in a newspaper style at first. I thought it was a bit of a layered conversation about shared heritage at first 🤦

There are definitely fanfics written with real people as characters.

Litttttle Alex Horne of Taskmaster mentioned two such fics during recent season.

It's either fiction or propaganda. Propaganda for who, I don't know.
