[mentally-retired]

[starboy14176]

I’m going to personally kill Nico btw

Bro me too. Die die die die die

[krystal-prisms]

I genuinely don't think I've ever wanted a character to brutally murdered as much as Dandy Mott from American Horror Story. 0/10 absolute dogshit man

[wordsmith-storyweaver]

Thought of the Day: If you sincerely don't want to be awarding the "worst take ever" award for your Blorbo, and then have OP defend their stance, you might want to stay out of the "anti-Blorbo" tag... just sayin'.

Funniest part about people redrawing my picture with the glue traps is like. They’re putting their special guys in it. When I made Dobby Dying In A Glue Trap I did it because I hate Dobby and think he sucks ass. It was a form of catharsis

"guys I do not condone any of this in real life" "this is fiction" "consent is key. this is only fiction" "murder is bad irl" — I wish fanfic authors didn't feel like they had to clarify this in author's notes or else they might be accused of being abusers or worse (I admit that such disclaimers are also something I personally use for my own stuff because I feel like I had to make it clear). like... people used to not care if an author wrote dead dove fics because people used to understand that ao3 fics are not a reflection of someone's in real life views or morality in any way. people used to understand that fanfics mean what they mean; fan fiction. none of it is real. maybe it's purity culture that normalizes witch hunt and censorship in the past couple years, and therefore authors feel like they have to clarify that just because they write about violence or noncon stuff doesn't mean they're murderers or sex offenders in real life. and I think it sucks that these things (purity and cancel culture?) have made authors feel like they have to apologize for the art they created instead of being proud of their hard work and all the dedication they put into creating these art. artists should not have to feel like they have to apologize for creating art that isn't all rainbow and sunshine. artists should not have to be made to feel ashamed of their own art if it's not all rainbow and sunshine.

I don’t agree with the “you can write noncon and dark fics as long as you make sure your readers get the message that these things are bad” or “you can write noncon and dark fics if it’s your way of coping with your trauma” take either. because writers do not owe you anything. the message writers want to send to their readers — whatever that message may be, if there’s any message or moral of the story for readers to take from the stories at all — is none of your business. why writers write what they write is none of your business. remember “don’t like don’t read”. no one forces you to read anything you don’t like. dark and noncon fics are a form of creative writing and creative writing is a form of art. you can’t pressure artists into creating art that “fit your moral compass” nor can you apply your own moral compass to artists to determine if they can create dark art or not, if their reasoning behind creating dark art passes your moral compass. like… what artists create and why artists create are none of your business. and you don’t get to shame artists for creating art that you hate / art that disgusts you. what you can do is ignore the art because it clearly was not made for you and that’s okay. what isn’t okay is you harassing artists because you don’t like the things they created.

writers, embrace and be proud of your works. as long as all the trigger warnings are tagged properly, you have nothing to apologize for.

Thanks for tagging me! I only have one OC who truly fits the villain bill so far, so I’m bringing out Orpheus/Viceroy Steadman for this one! If NOTBM gets a fandom, he will be one of the only villains in fandom history who doesn’t get blorbified…

1.) Perverting the course of justice. He has helped his son, Brooklyn, get away with heinous crimes

2.) Tax evasion. He lies to the government about his profits so that he doesn’t have to pay as much tax

3.) Fraud. He lied to Hades about the reason why he wanted his bracelet, and he’s refusing to honour his end of the deal in exchange for using it

4.) Murder. Goes without saying, but he uses his powers to murder people he feels threatened by

5.) Property damage. He has destroyed multiple buildings, cars, and even historical landmarks in his quest to murder the people on his hit-list

6.) Money laundering. He has been involved in several money laundering scandals involving the embezzlement of funds

Leaving this tag open!

😈 Villain Crimes Tag 😈

Thank you for tagging me for this game, @mysticstarlightduck ! ✨

Rules: List all the real-world crimes your villains are guilty of committing!

A loooooot of my villains in my books are VERY spoiler-y, but I will give a taste of one from Peter Hart:

Baron Alastair of Port Mayor 🇬���

But wait Goldie, I hear you asking: isn’t he a part of parliament? What crimes is he committing so closely in the Royal Courts? Oh boy, let me tell you:

1. Treason to the crown. He goes behind Duke Matthias’s back to work with all sorts of pirates and criminals.

2. Forgery of an official in higher status. Lots of documents that never made it to his boss’s desk. Hmmm 🤔

3. Murder. Lots of murder. Oh my gods so much murder. Pirates and naval officers are not safe from his crack shot rifle aim.

4. Theft. Steals and rotates documents around like passing a blunt at a party.

5. Impersonation of higher officials in parliament.

6. Illegal trade. This was VERY common in the courts, and one of the incentives for parliament to work with pirates.

7. Misappropriation of Government Funds for his own personal gain.

In other words, man is a politician 😂✨

this is still one of the funniest things anyone ever added to my posts (that was abt ancient rome btw)

[umblrspectrum]

go read Memento Nori and Like the Stars and What Friends Are For and just generally all of Ad Astra Per Aspera by LadyDaybreaker on ao3

[niofo]

watch us getting exactly 0 info about what's briala is up to in veilguard despite her being the first person in modern times to actually use eluvian network to fight a violent dictator, something we as rook actually will be doing for the entire game. watch her, a brown lesbian, never ever be mentioned in the game again, despite the very real possibility that she's personally controlling one of the biggest empires in current thedas.

"Hey there, kid! I'm Foop-- or at least I was! I go by Irep now! As in: the OPPOSITE of Peri!"

There's my little bringer of doom time! And some family doodles to boot since NONE OF THE SHOWS WANNA GIVE ME THIS!

[whisperwillyou]

God I fucking love Oda.

This man is the only person I trust, the light of my life, Oda would never betray me.

This man has endured 20+ years of people bugging him to put romance in one piece or give Luffy a love interest despite his consistent stance that romance was never going to be a part of one piece because he prefers friendship/family dynamics.

I hope Oda knows that all the friendship/found family girlies and the romance averse people and the AroAce’s all owe him our lives

Never gonna see friendship get pushed to the side to make room for romance in One Piece 🙏

guys. guys listen.

if you wanna write and/or post a fanfic but are worried that no one will like it.

do not be worried. at all.

because even if no one else is interested, YOU are. you enjoy this idea. you're passionate about this concept. you should write for YOU, not for potential critics.

and even besides that, i guarantee you that there's at least 1 other person out there who would also enjoy your fic. it's essentially statistically impossible for you to be the only person on the planet who thinks the way you do, and enjoys the themes and ideas and characters and settings that you do.

write it. post it. take pride in the fact that you created something that you value. your fic exists, and that in of itself is amazing.

antis dni, this isn't about you or the graphic threats of harm you send to real people whom you dislike. get a real hobby.

proship/comship/profiction/etc. safe!

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

writers, this is a sign for you to say fuck censorship and write a disgusting fic that will sicken your readers

[danny-chase]

Not to be obsessed over one moment in canon but Bruce's words here kill me every time i read them

The New Titans #55

Specifically, "He was just like you." Comics went a long ways after this to assure readers Tim was #notliketheothergirls (Jason) by continually contrasting him to Jason and pointing out how different they were. But comics rarely talked about how Dick and Jason were very similar characters, and how they went through similar arcs - starting out as perfect boy scout role model kids, and growing discontent and angry with Bruce's ways and not being people he could control. It ended very differently for them, but it could have ended the same, if Joker's aim had been dead on. In universe, who lives and who died seemed to come down to chance, and I'm obsessed with Dick thinking that it should have been him
