#Ama said it was good IDK I DONT WRITE FIC

[aroace-people-are-lgtbq]

hey so this is coming from a person who wants to be inclusive and nice and generally not an a$$hole, please answer, so i saw this discourse post that was like about soulmate AUs in fanfiction, and it said "so obviously aros dont experience romantic love, so who would they have as a soulmate? and some fic authors say -oh yeah obviously they'd have a platonic soulmate- but i dont think thats ok, it still leaves aros/aces? feeling *othered*. So why cant other people, not just aros have... 1/2

platonic soulmates, i want people to randomly get a familial or platonic soulmate" and my Question is, to me (not aro or ace) soulmate AUs are a celebration of romantic love, so why should i include people who don't feel that? i am not saying you are broken or any worse off for not experiencing this, but I do, and i want to bask in the romance that I like, without watering down the concept of soulmates with non-romantic love. Please, i dont want to hurt anyone, so if im wrong call me out. 2/2

Honestly, I really don’t like soulmate aus to begin with for that exact same reason "It still leaves aros/aces? feeling othered."

People adding in platonic soulmates feels like an afterthought, and often platonic relationships still take a backseat in the fic

However, the implication that we should be ignored entirely is not great either.

IDK, I don't think there is an easy answer to this because, while not everything has to be about everyone, if you are creating a world based on the premise of "Soulmates have XYZ" and it only applies to romantic feelings, the next logical question for me is, what happens to aromantics?

We still exist regardless of whether we are put in a soulmate au and "watering down soulmates with non-romantic love" is an icky thing to say because it implies that non-romantic love is inferior

I know I have strong feelings on soulmate au's that aren't shared by everyone, but this is why they frustrate me.

It's difficult to think of a way to write a soulmate au that doesn't promote amanormativity in one form or another

So anyway, I know it's not your intention anon, but "why should i include people who don't feel that?" feels a lot like saying your celebrating a world where people with complicated relationships to romance don't exist. And again, clearly not your intention, but it doesn't feel good.

It is hot.

A false sun radiating light from behind Zero, hiding his visage; he’s beaming with satisfaction. The flickering lights are imperceptible now. A girl stands beneath the machine motionless, hidden almost entirely behind a large houndoom, who stands centerstage despite finding herself in a double battle. The girl is disheveled, clothes still muddy and damp from traveling in the snow, her hair covers her face as she holds tightly the two small knives that once kept it in place. She doesn’t notice nor care though, her eyes are glazed over but she’s focused. Under her command, the houndoom once again charges a large fire ball in her mouth. The frightening mega evolved pokemon looks back, stalls, but is snapped into obedience.

“Heat wave, once more.”

She is used her trainer’s general emotional detachment, but never have her commands felt so unfeeling and callous. Behind the girl’s voice there was always something, As much as she may conceal it but now there was absolutely nothing. Except for perhaps a most paralyzing fear. But there is no room to think in the midst of battle. She lets go a fiery breath that has again and again brought the temperature in the room to an unbearable heat, where the structure of the room itself has begun to melt from the onsaught. The field is cleared; nothing can survive the hit. The houndoom doubles down in the pain of its own fire. As the light still shines upon them all, two more pokemon are sent out across the field, and she prepares for her next attack.

Faux Innocence

Corpse Husband x Reader (Female)

Warnings: None

Genre: FLUFF, Humor, RPF (Real Person Fic)

Summary: Having the reputation of the innocent angel in the group, one could never imagine Y/N being such a badass impostor and expert liar but here they have found themselves fooled by the angel who wears that halo just for show.

Requested by @kpopgirlbtssvt Hello hun! Here’s the other request you sent me, I’m really sorry it’s been so long and you’ve had to endure such a long wait until it’s posted but here it finally is and I hope you enjoy the read! Love, Vy ❤

“They’ll be done for in no time! Right, babe?“ I stick my foot out to the side, nudging Corpse’s leg.

There most certainly are pros and cons when it comes to sharing a gaming/streaming/recording room with me, and the whether the constant pestering is a good or a bad thing is still up in the air. I mean, yeah Corpse rolls his eyes every now when I do it, but I’ve also caught him smiling about it out of the corner of my eye. Bottom line, I do it to invite that almost childishly mischievous smirk on his face. That’s the ultimate reward.

And ok, yes, I’m also the one trying to peek over the barrier separating out computers to peek at his screen to see if he’s impostor or not, but he tolerates that bad habit of mine. Well, he sprays water my way or gently whacks me with a pillow, but I consider that toleration. It’s a playful little dynamic we have going on, one we don’t have to perform today since we’re impostors together.

I cannot recall a time that has happened before. In fact, I can say I’ve been paired up as impostors with everyone but Corpse. I personally think it’s a practical joke the game’s algorithm is pulling on us, seeing as how we’ve been dating for quite some time now. I mean, that’s the only way to explain this coincidence of never being impostors together.

Looking at the subject now, it may be hella beneficial for us considering no one would suspect us both to be impostors together. Everyone is in on this ‘misfortune’ of ours and it’s honestly hilarious but Corpse and I are about to rip them a new one, I just know it.

“Oh, definitely! I’m the risky half, but they’ll never suspect you so we’re 100% winning this.“ He replies, sending a wink my way. He’s vaguely surprised when I return it with a narrow-eyed look.

“What’s that supposed to mean ‘they’ll never suspect you‘? I’m a great impostor! Is that you questioning my skills I’m hearing?“ I raise an eyebrow, turning my attention back to the screen which displays Corpse and I alone in Electrical, pretending to be doing tasks and waiting on our first victims.

“No! No, not at all. Far from it. It’s just that you are...well, you know...you are you. No one would think you’re the one dishing out all these tactical kills. You always seem relatively interested in the game only to have fun and not to win and....“

“Look sweet and innocent.“ I cut him off, finishing his sentence, “Yeah, yeah, I get your theory.“ Suddenly, I hear Rae’s chipper voice approaching, talking to her chat, I’m assuming. This gives me a rather...interesting idea. With that in mind, I give Corpse a side-glance and a devilish smirk that’s promising trouble, “Let’s test it out, shall we?“

“Wha-?!“ Before Corpse can even say his question fully, Rae wanders into the room, cutting him off with a question of her own.

“Test what out?“ She asks, coming to stand between us, doing her own task.

I’m so sorry, Rae

Before anyone could fathom it, I swiftly kill Rae and report her body, all seemingly in the blink of an eye. Corpse hasn’t even fathomed half of this insanity when he hears an accusation being thrown right at him.

“Corpse, how could you?!“ I cry out, and damn - not to toot my own horn or anything - but I’m pulling off the ‘distressed friend-witness‘ act quite well. I bet Corpse would give me an impressed look or mouth ‘minx’ at me if he wasn’t staring at his screen with his mouth agape. “You were planning to blame it on me weren’t you?!“

“Wait...no! That’s not-It wasn’t me! I swear it wasn’t me!“ He finally finds his voice, croaking out desperate defenses, each cut off by a wheeze of something alike shocked laughter that almost gets me to break out in a fit of my own.

“Very convincing, buddy. He’s definitely innocent, you guys...“ Toast comments just as the ‘VOTED‘ sticker pops up above the icon of his avatar in the meeting.

“Right? How could you even think otherwise?“ Leslie backs him up, the sticker appearing on her icon as well.

“Guys! No, for real, it’s Y/N! I swear on Bingus it’s Y/N!“ He probably should’ve used something more convincing, not that it would’ve worked either way. I’m a ‘trustworthy‘, ‘innocent‘ and ‘honest‘ person, just like Corpse said. Aren’t I?

Mere seconds later, he’s shot off the ship, the screen confirming he indeed was an impostor, automatically getting the blame off me cause no impostor would be dumb enough to out their partner like that, lowering their chances at victory. I don’t consider that a dumb move though - I think it’s rather genius, actually. 

“Don’t worry, Corpsie.“ I give him a wink in return to his death glare, his arms crossed over his chest, looking quite unamused. “I’m winning this one for you.“

We both know I can and I will. Of course I can when I’m given the advantage of faux innocence everyone falls for - in more ways than one, if you know what I’m saying *wink* *wink*

Caricature

Corpse Husband x Reader (Female)

Warnings: Swearing

Genre: FLUFF, Humor, RPF (Real Person Fic)

Summary: Corpse receives a painting as a late gift for his birthday from his YouTube acquaintances. It’s safe to say the pleasant surprise made his whole week.

Requested by Anon. Hi hun! Thank you so much for your adorable request! I’m so terribly sorry it’s taken me so long to complete and post it but I still hope you come across it and read it even after all this time. If so, I hope you enjoy it! Love, Vy ❤

Y/N/N- Your nickname 

“Ok, so I know a minute’s long passed since the birthday party I had but...“ In the camera frame that’s only capturing Corpse’s lower body appears a neatly and beautifully even wrapped rectangular gift. “Would you look at that? It came with a card signed by someone named Y/N/N and they said it was a birthday gift for me. Now...“ Corpse turns the large gift around as much as he can with the badly positioned grasp he has on it, “I don’t know anyone named Y/N/N and I wasn’t expecting any gifts even on my birthday let alone afterwards but here we are. While it could potentially be a deadly object like a bomb or a very well disguised serial killer, I made the obviously smart decision of brining it inside my home. It’s been sitting in my living room for hours now and it hasn’t exploded yet so I take that as a positive sign.“

In frame comes a small butter knife now too, held in Corpse’s hand. He motions towards the gift with it, “In case it really is a threat, at least I’ll get it on camera.” He laughs before carefully cutting the silver ribbon, leaving only the black wrapping paper separating him from the gift itself. He makes an incision directly in the front so the viewers can see the inside before he can. Tearing the wrapping paper he sees the back of what appears to be a canvas.

“Holy shit, no way.“ He mutters under his breath as he throws aside the torn paper and turns the canvas around so the painting is facing him, “No fucking way. Damn, God fucking damn. You guys saw it, right? This is fucking real and it’s fucking me!“ Hem momentarily gets distracted by a note that falls from the canvas’ back which he somehow didn’t notice previously. He picks the piece of paper up from the floor and reads the sender’s name out loud before opening it: “Paint Panther ~ little something to show my appreciation for one of the if not the greatest impostor in the history of Among Us. I promise I’m no stalker - you gave me your address yourself so I can send you a copy of the Amigops fanart I made two months back lol. Anyways, happy late birthday, Corpse, hope you like the gift. Sincerely, Y/N - Y/N/N - L/N.“

Suddenly it all clicks in his brain, reminding him of the beautiful piece of Amigops art that’s sitting in his room. “Holy shit, Y/N, your art just keeps getting better damn! I can’t thank you enough for this, it has to be the best gift I’ve ever received in my entire life. I mean, I look like a caricature next to your painting it’s so incredible. If looked at least half as good as you’ve drawn me, I’d be perfectly pleased. Keep doing what you’re doing and stay awesome, Y/N/N. You’re a straight up badass at what you do. Everyone watching, I encourage you to go on her channel and support her and her art. She really deserves it. I’ll leave all her social media links in the description, make sure to go check her out. I promise you, you’ll be mesmerized.“

Little does Corpse know, he just made Y/N’s day, none-the-wiser of the fact she is one of the thousands of viewers of the Instagram live.

Caught Red-handed

Corpse Husband x Reader (Gender Neutral)

Warnings: Swearing, Struggling with migraines 

Genre: Fluff, Comfort, RPF (Real Person Fic)

Summary: Having suffered from migraines all their life, Y/N knows better than to give them much attention or let them hinder their work too much. However, their boyfriend is a lot more worried than they are and has taken it as his personal duty to ease their pain as much as he possibly can. 

Requested by Anon. Hi dear! Thank you so much for your request, I’m so sorry it has taken me so long to get to it, write and post it, but here it finally is and I hope you come across it and read it! I’ve never experienced migraines nor have I known someone who has so if I’ve misrepresented or written any misinformation, anyone who catches it, feel free to let me know either in the comments or in my inbox/messages! Love, Vy ❤

The first time I got a headache was in the middle of math class in eighth grade. I remember it so distinctly because I had never before experienced such sudden and such intense pain. I got to go home early that day and spent a good portion of the day trying to sleep it off but to no avail.

Since then I’ve grown used to having to deal with a pain so strong it renders me unable to function for a whole day about two times a month. Sometimes, I even try to be stubborn with it - I try to push through as much work as I can despite the migraine, but that never works out for a long time considering it ends up crippling me in the end. That’s never kept me from trying over and over again though!

Now, to contrast my nonchalance and even annoyance with these pesky attacks, is my boyfriend Corpse’s concern over them. I’ve tried explaining to him that I’ve grown used to them and that I try not to let them bother me and that he shouldn’t stress over them so much but I may as well be talking to a wall because all he has to do is see me squint my eyes or cringe and he enters concerned-mother mode. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate it to no end, I just don’t want him worrying over something so small. Also, a minor convenience: if the migraine doesn’t hinder me from tending to my tasks, Corpse will. He’ll make sure I’m off the task I’m working and transported into bed in an instant.

That’s why I’m now clenching my jaw, struggling to maintain a poker face as I work on an important project I have to send to my boss by the start of next week. I’ve got plenty of time, but I like to stay on top of my work so it doesn’t pile on top of me, you know what I’m saying. Corpse is sitting on the couch next to me, casually glancing at me every now and then while remaining quiet as to not disturb me. So far so good, he hasn’t noticed anything and, if I didn’t know any better I would sigh in relief. There’s nothing to trigger the pain to arise any further - the lights are dim, I’m staying hydrated, and I downed two painkillers in the bathroom about an hour and a half ago - so I’m sure I’ll be in the clear at least until dinner.

“Wanna watch a movie when you’re done?“ Corpse asks, “Unless you’re tired or anything...“

I flash him a grateful smile, giving his knee a squeeze of reassurance, “I’d love to, babe. But I can’t promise that I won’t fall asleep.”

He chuckles, “Yeah, I know you’ve got a tendency of doing that.” Giving me a side-glance he adds, “It’s cute.”

I roll my eyes, already sensing a blush creeping up on my cheeks and neck which I hide by turning to face my laptop screen. One thing I can’t hide though is the wide grin that’s spread across my face as I mutter: “Shut up.”

Just then, a particularly sharp jolt of pain courses through my head, testing that ability to maintain a resting face. Thankfully, Corpse is turned in the opposite direction, searching for his phone, so I allow myself a brief cringe at the discomfort. 

Guess the painkillers are dying down on me, I think to myself, a second away from sighing exasperatedly at the thought that I have to down two more. It was wishful of me to think I could enjoy the luxury of a dull ache until dinner, now the migraine is straight up mocking me.

I quietly stand up from the couch and make my way to the bathroom so I can take another dose of aspirin because I don’t think I’ll be able to focus on my work for very long if it keeps hitting me with this intensity. Opening the door to the small cabinet above the sink, I automatically reach out for the bottle of pills but stop when I see a surprise.

Directly in front of the bottle stands a note written in, you guessed it, Corpse’s handwriting.

‘Already losing effect, huh? When are you thinking of coming clean?‘

Well shoot, am I that transparent?

I sheepishly exit the bathroom, walking back into the living room where Corpse greets me with the same stance as a parent greeting their kid who’s gotten home past curfew: legs crossed, arms folded over his chest, one eyebrow raised, the whole nine yards.

“Yeah, they’re already losing effect.“ I admit, a small apologetic smile tugging at the corners of my mouth, my cheeks burning with an embarrassed blush. “And I wasn’t gonna tell you at all.” I hurry to add: “Please don’t be mad though.“

Corpse shifts slightly, his gaze giving me a onceover as he contemplates how to pursue the case. I’ve already got several arguments/defenses ready - the perks of working for a lawyer - but I know he’ll dismiss all of them no matter how strong they might come off as in court. Bottom line: even statements that would fly in court can’t fly with Corpse sometimes. Especially when my health and well-being are the topic of observation.

“What have we said about lying?“ He finally asks, causing me to cringe and ball my fists in guilt.

However, I still have my arguments ready: “You never asked me so I never technically lied.” One might say I have quite the audacity to plead not guilty right now, even though I’ve been caught red-handed, but what can I say, I’m stubborn in nature. And Corpse knows this, he’s just testing me for his own amusement.

“Poor excuse, Y/N.“ He says with disapproval, shaking his head and fully embracing his disappointed parent persona. “You’re lucky I’m feeling generous today. So, as punishment for hiding the truth from me, you are to ditch that project you’ve been bugging yourself over and come cuddle and watch a movie with me. Bonus points for you if you fall asleep.“

I needn’t be told twice - not only will it wipe that look off his features but it’ll also get earn me a movie night with the additional benefit of cuddling with my boyfriend? - how could I refuse?

I can’t help it, I just gotta push my luck here and poke the bear with a stick, “If the punishments are so sweet I might start being dishonest more often.“

Corpse rolls his eyes, scooting on the couch and tapping the space he’s freed up for me, “I said I was feeling generous, don’t bet on it happening often though.”

Alright, enough luck-pushing, I should be grateful for this generosity instead. I should be using it to the max.

So, what’s stopping you from doing just that?

Good question, brain, good question.

Head still pounding just not as intensely, I slip under the thin soft comforter to find myself not only wrapped in it but also in Corpse’s arm, his warm embrace bringing me instant comfort, walking me on the tight-rope of falling asleep right away.

“Sneaky bastard.“ I attempt to mutter, yawning halfway through. 

I feel his lips on the top of my head, placing a quick and gentle kiss in my hair before he says, “You’re welcome, babe.”

Count your lucky stars, Y/N. You’ve got one of the good ones.
