Thank you for the tag!

I love complex characters more than villains or heroes, so I chose to go with Khaos (name might change one day but is likely to stay that way), my own OC who is a major character in my original fictional universe, who is equally an antagonist, a protagonist, and an adversary in relation to the main cast.

When he first appears, he follows his nature, which is to corrupt. When patient and subtle, he is unseen, whispers misleading information, tempting people into actions that will be harmful to them and others, breaking people, twisting bit by bit their energy, their essence. When seeking the thrill of terror and suffering, he captures people's mind, heart, soul, into his own realm, able to torture them how he pleases, yet since it is not a physical realm, he can wish for all damages to be healed, and start again. The pain is oh so real, and only when he has enough, does he release his target. Yet, he does not kill, for he much prefers watching what happens after people break. He does not force himself upon anyone, for he much prefers their willing surrender. He does not touch children, who can only be broken, but never corrupted. He breaks to corrupt, not the other way around. He wants to see his Corrupted take pleasure in what they have become. In these feelings, is nascent complexity. In his storyline, there is a reason he is as he is at the start, and a reason why he starts to develop a more complex personality, and start to question who he is and what he does. His nature does not change. He still love all of this. But he has been given the gift of genuine free will and a real soul, and now he feels pained for all the beings who are like him. More than anything, he wants his brethren free. He wants them all to realize that, if they seek to corrupt everything, nothing will remain to be corrupted. He wants them to know what it's like, to be able to hold a space within that is free of corruption, where he himself holds dear the one who taught him freedom. Make no mistake, though. This Khaos is, dare I say, more dangerous than he used to be. No longer a slave of his own nature, he has chosen to embrace his nature, and become the Incarnation of Corruption, the Ruler of all Monsters. And only the Monster than makes every other Monsters submit in terror of his Wrath, can rule them all.

I babbled a bit but I love Khaos, and it was purposeful that I made him with this picrew to have very few supernatural or horror-like element, because in my head, you only realize he is not a regular human until it's too late. He has other forms, but his most used is that of a "regular" masculine looking human(oid).

Also in my head: the above "pic" is what you see when he's sending you in his own realm.

Tagging, if you want of course, @punk-sass , @rainghosted , @satari-raine , @tracing-in-gold , and whoever else wants to do this who see this from my blog!

Let’s make a cast of Villains!

All you need to do is this picrew, and tag some people.

Here’s mine. An evil AI version of me.

As mentioned, I updated a bit my blog theme, and this also works as a little promotion if you didn't know about this other blog of mine!

Which like this one I haven't had yet the spoons to do stuff with again but sooner or later I will

Hi hello, sooner or later I'll finally have the spoons to be active here and do what I want to do, but right now I am simply dropping here the adjusted lines I have on my fic blog theme because they are inspired by the muses here!

First line relates to Peter, second to Wei Wuxian, third to Allen, fourth to Wild, fifth to Ireth, and the last one to all of them.

I used to only have the first three, but I wanted to expand, and it actually is something I consider as one of my mottos to live by~!

[chrisemrysfics]

The rest of the thread is here.

tl;dr: Don’t monetize AO3, kids.  You won’t like what happens next.

[chrisemrysfics]

This happened to me too on FFnet, I was super lucky because the first time it happened, I asked questions to verify if they were a real person, but didn't think to go deeper into it, and started to discuss commission with them, but since my situation meant I couldn't commission right away, I told them it would have to be another month. There definitely was a real person who knew to play into compliments and show a little patience.

I said I was lucky because I realized the danger before I paid anything. Like I said, they knew to play patient, but they still were a little pushy about getting a booking amount, or starting to work even after I had clearly told them I wouldn't have the finances around the time they asked again if we could work. It's on me that I never thought to try asking more details on the fic(s) they claimed to have liked, or go deeper into how weird it felt. I'm so damn lucky I just couldn't pay right away (and they even played with using a large price then saying they would reduce it "since they're eager to work together", as well as allowing multiple payments) because that's how time passed and I got another DM that held similar ideas, and that's when I realized something was up.

I found a forum on FFnet that spoke about this happening, and even though it feels like I can't be certain that first person I spoke with was fully a scam, I just didn't want to take the risk and blocked them. Suspiciously enough, after I blocked them, I had yet another FFnet person try the scam thing, but also following me and DMing three times the same message before I saw and blocked.

Two other things to note from my experience: the first two use artstation, the third didn't list one. The two accounts linking to an artstation felt like they had a similar style, and most striking for me, the very first account added new arts after we started interacting, which I didn't see right away, and newer art felt different than the initial ones (as if it wasn't the same person).

It's sad, and angering, that this happening, but at least it seems the information is circulating now. What makes me the most sad is, if genuine artist out there will want to work with writers by approaching them, it can be harder now. Obviously, a genuine person is going to sound much different than a scam, and it will be simple to ask enough questions to verify they are genuine, but most writers who had this happen to them or see it happening are going to have a harder time trusting and that's unfair to both writers and artists.

@cilil As you ask to know profiles who seem to be in this, here are the ones that contacted me on FFnet: 1 // 2 // 3.

Also here are the initial DMs for each person:

Note: looking back on it, the first person gave a red flag I did notice but didn't look deeper into it. They said they liked "Make it Right" which is a DGM fic, but claimed they were browsing HP fic when they found me/mine. I do have one fic, and only one fic, under HP, but it is a crossover with DGM and focus more on the DGM aspects. It was also a one-shot and a gift. But I assumed maybe they meant they found that one, then read Make it Right. Another details I did notice but should have looked deeper into, is that they asked if I had socials, but my FFnet profiles links said socials. I should have asked more details, and listen better to what I was feeling.

Part of me still wonders if that person was genuine, and its unfurtonate they sound similar and were truly eager to they seemed pushy, but if they were part of the scam or whatever it happening? There's definitely at least one real person who knows what cards to play, if like me someone ends up not asking the right questions or not listening to their inner alarm bells. Be careful out there!

Some new kind of scam? It’s giving scam but I also don’t really understand how it’s a scam?? but it’s 100% a scam yeah?

[chrisemrysfics]

Ah yes, the sound of lovely people, one of my favorite sounds 💖

Hey there my sweetest, beloved Vexi ♡

I just wanted to share something personal with you that you can then share with others because I know that they feel the same.

Writing has always been my passion. It's been the one thing that has kept me afloat in my life. Regardless of whether people love my writing or hate it, I would continue for the sake of continuing because it is my life.

But when I rejoined fandom spaces, I was terrified after hearing stories of how the culture had changed significantly. Interaction is lower, and hate has unfortunately always made its home in these communities. Given I share fanfiction solely to share with the aforementioned communities, I found myself afraid that I would get hate messages. I was afraid I wouldn't have a community that would stand up for me if that were to happen. While it would never deter me from what I love, I was scared that friendships and positivity were long dead in this space. Fandom felt lonely.

You know what though? I have met wonderful person after wonderful person. And then I met you too. There you are, getting some of the most horrendous messages I've ever seen sent to another human being, and you continue to push for positivity - smiling and laughing with us about how much you just want to see people happy.

Then you went on to start share some of the wonderful messages you recieved throughout that ordeal, only to begin writing positive affirmations and thoughts for us. Once upon a time, I struggled to accept this sort of positivity, I will admit that. When I was having a rough time, I would often see messages like that as 'hollow' for a lack of better words. I would be angry or bitter that others could think like that when I struggled so much to feel like those words should have meant something to me.

While time has passed since I was that person, I still remember the feeling of hopelessness, yet that doesn't deter from the fact that people like you - and countless others - single handedly restored my faith in these communities.

People like you remind me why I cling to my ideals of treating everyone with kindness no matter what. To try to understand other people. To help others. These are all things that bring us closer together. People like you, @silva-daemonium, @fraugwinska, @macabr3-barbi3, @chrisemrysfics, @melodyonthewireless, @dewdropdinosaur, @xalygatorx, @kewpikayo, @jurijyuu, @jalicecookie, AND SO MANY MORE do so much to support those around you.

All of this came about because I wanted to say thank you for posting those short little messages of encouragment. I know that I have appreciated them. Sure, they might seem a little cheesy to me on a morning when I'm tired - but they really make me smile, and prepare me to tackle whatever the day gives.

You're the beating heart of positivity.

It's a fairytale ending to the horror stories I expected.

I know that other people will see this too, so I just wanted to wish everyone that sees this a relaxing morning, afternoon, evening - timezone in general! You're here, and you've worked hard to be here all this time. Everything you've needed to do to achieve that, you've done. That's huge. I'm so proud of everyone, and my DMs are always open to anyone who might be struggling or just wants to talk. I'll always aim to help my community in the same way that Vexi has demonstrated.

Love to you all, and again, thank you for your messages, Vexi!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Cirice, I honestly don’t have the words to fully capture how much your kindness means to me. You are truly one of the most thoughtful, beautiful souls I’ve ever had the honor to meet, and I can’t thank you enough for your words. Knowing that something I’ve done has made even a small impact on people like you is still so surreal to me. I’m just deeply grateful that you’re part of this community.

You and so many others are the reason why I’ve stayed here longer than in any other fandom. It’s been the most heartwarming experience. This community, especially people like you, has genuinely transformed my perspective on what fandoms can be: a space filled with compassion, creativity, and connection.

Thank you for sharing your story, for giving me (and others) a piece of your heart. I hope your words reach others, inspiring them to create, to feel they belong, and to understand how wonderful it is to be part of something like this. Knowing we’re all here together, finding meaning in these connections, it makes the world feel a little less lonely and a lot brighter. 💖

So the fun story is: I actually wanted to see what pics and screenshots I had that might be nice to share on my Insta, which lead me to realize I had saved a few moments where me&my friends thought sentences would be funny to keep without context.

Yes, there is a theme. If you wonder, yeah all of them are with the same friends.

Who, by the way, totally encouraged me to share this, and one of them joked "horny on main Chris" since I also shared on Insta as, you know, a tribute to this compiliation being born and shared thanks to wanting to add pics there.

The funnier part? I'll probably shared nature pics and similar, so my Insta will be exactly what you would expect from chatting with me: pretty innocent and then without warning something so wild the double take is real. Nature, nature, wow that's horny, phoenix, wait what did I just see back up-

[chrisemrysfics]

No I will not give context, just enjoy this gem of what I just said and then realized it would make a funny "show without context" post.

[chrisemrysfics]

As much as it can be great if something is clearly stated or shown in canon, I actually love when things are left for subtext and/or "open for interpretation or imagination".

Taking the example of ships: I love it when relationships don't have a clear explicit canon "confirmation", because it allows each person to read the dynamic the way they prefer. Of course, sometimes, canon subtext still heavily implies one type of relation. But it's still more open than when characters kiss&become a couple, or characters explictly speak of being family.

And in general, as OP mention, it can be fun to "find the bread crumbs" and follow the trail, so to speak. To find the story that is told in the little details, in everything that is beyond clear words and explicit gestures. Sometimes it truly is open to interpretation (for ex: hint at closeness without saying which type of relationship), other times, the trail of hints lead you recognize canon subtext heavily leans into suggesting a specific relationship.

However, what I love about subtext vs "clearly canon" is when it's done so well that, whether its truly open to interpretation, or suggest something without telling, the fact it's still only subtext means you can still enjoy playing with a different interpretation.

Yeah, sometimes, the creator might want to be explicit about their character gender or orientation, or who ends up together with who, or whatever else is made clear rather than left to subtext.

But the issue with this actually make it harder to normalize LGBTQ+ representation in particular, because it has to stand out (be clearly canon) to be viewed as "valid canonically". It plays into the narrative that characters are cishet unless proven otherwise.

When in truth, characters should be left open for interpretation unless canon is clear and explicit on their gender, orientation, or relationships. A character isn't cishet by default, they are "we don't know" and even with subtext, it is at best "a strong suggestion they are X, but no explicit confirmation", which should be enjoyed as much as "explicit confirmation they are X".

People really need to learn to enjoy subtext and what's left open to interpretation, because fiction as a whole would be so much duller, if everything had to be explicit.

As a side note: I wonder if this issue relates to what I remember seeing once, that some people have issues "reading between the lines", which would mean they might genuinely have trouble noticing subtext, or understanding what it is saying. Or they might notice well enough, but they tend to not consider something "valid" unless its explicit (as opposed to "between the lines").

With that said, "reading between the lines" is, in fact, a skill. So even if someone genuinely has issues with seeing subtext and/or its comprehension, they can learn to understand it better, or at the very least, they can recognize that subtext and open to interpretation are just as valid as what is explicit.

i hate this weird trend in fandom where subtext is seen as a Bad Thing and is only done if the creators are too cowardly to commit to showing something. i hate to break it to you but nuance and layers are what make stories interesting, if you have no subtext then you have a very flat story

[chrisemrysfics]

My friend @silva-daemonium just described fanfiction as "a surefire way to meet equally weird and horny folks" and I wheezed so hard at how accurate it is.

[chrisemrysfics]

Hello!

A little update to say I've progressed on figuring out what I'll put on the multi-fandom&crossover storytelling blog (multiverse is canon to that storyline, so it's a singular storyline that leads to many storylines aka universes, which means its both multiple fandom that co-exist will remaining independent, and a crossover), so my attention might be on that blog a lot, but sooner or later I'll work on what I'll do here too!

(I made post on crossoverfamily about what I plan to do, so if you're curious to see more details on how that blog will be handled, give it a check~)

[chrisemrysfics]

Hello!

So I realized I've been trying to do too many things at once, without having figured out some stuff, or still being in the process of deciding some stuff. A bit like I rushed into multiple things, in part because I accidentally pushed myself into trying to be more active on my blogs.

Thankfully, once I realized that, I got a few ideas on what to do/change so it doesn't feel as "messy" in my head. One major change is that I'll "prepare" post. I used to just come ramble as soon as I had rambling to do, but now I want to ramble to myself first (aka journal my rambling), then wait a bit before reading over it, so I can have a calmer approach to deciding when to post and feel like I've been able to think about it. This can be especially helpful is one ramble lead me to more rambles/ideas, and generally for my peace of mind.

I also want to take the time to properly put down my ideas on how to organize/handle each blog, like it's been floating in my head, but never quite clearly enough either? So yeah that too I need to take the time to put it down, think about it, and like future posts, I want to work on what I'll put in pages first, then add on blog. This relates especially to tags, as I need to figure out the type of posts I'll make and/or how I want to organize before I have a decent tag list.

So yeah, I'm going to tell myself to calm down, slow down, and not let my brain go crazy in so many directions at once that it stops being able to actively work things out. The heat does make it a bit hard too, but I still have creative juices, so it's only a matter of not overheating my brain (... kind of literally AND figuratively XD).

So stay tuned and wish me luck!
