#It's just hard to enjoy this fandom when there's also so much hate 🙃

Uh hi? 🙈

[bangtannism]

Lol speaking of other shippers being jealous of what JK and JM have and blaming the company for why their fave pair don't have it, I recently came across a reel from a Jinkooker page, showing moments from AYS and captioning it "this is what a friends vlog looks like so the company didn't mind showing it" and compared it to those pictures where JK and Jin took a trip together or something and JK was carrying his camera around, and of course they made the excuse that "the company" is gatekeeping the footage because they couldn't hide how they were a couple😅

I laughed so hard when I saw that. It's really all the same arguments from different subgroups of the fandom, they all cry "Bighit is hiding my ship/Jikook is fanservice". It looks like it's solely a Taekooker narrative simply because they are the loudest and most unhinged, but really, all non-Jikook BTS pair-that-has-JM-or-JK-as-one-half shippers are keeping their ships afloat with this narrative. Yes, including some Vminies (I've seen this lot parroting Taekooker narratives when the joint enlistment of Jikook was announced, and mind you they are the same people who were also so smug about Vmin definitely enlisting together)

I know deep down these people know that even if it was their ship spending so much time around each other and orbiting one another, it still wouldn't be the same. They'd never come across as suspicious. Jungkook was openly spending time with Taehyung and there had been an uptick in Taekook moments since 2022 compared to the few years before then and not ONCE did I see other shippers cry about "Bighit forcing Taekook down our throats" or accusing Taehyung of being a "fanservice king" (those accusations were only coming from toxic Jikookers) and "feeding his minions" the way they've always accused Jimin and still do to this day even though he doesn't mention JK nearly as much as Tae does.

Jikook as a ship was on a little bit of a "break" and Taekook had Taekookers convinced they were doing a soft launch and would become official quite soon & not once did I see Jinkookers, Vminies or Taejinners talking about "Taekook is hiding my ship". Even during that time, still, it was Jikook getting those allegations.

No, what makes the Jikook ship so polarizing was never about the quantity of their interactions but always about that special chemistry, that special tension they share between them. And everybody and their mama knows this - the only difference is that most of us hate it.

"the company" is gatekeeping the footage

yes, yes, a very popular assertion. bh/hybe is apparently sitting on a mountain of tkk, ymn, vmn, and jnkk content. (side note, i usually do not judge peoples ships at all but jnkk .... brother eugh.)

It's really all the same arguments from different subgroups

yup. 🙃 everyone is weirdly obsessed with calling jikook fanservice because it hurts their feelings that jikook not only spend time together, not only enjoy the time they spend together, but also come across more couple like than any other duos. it MUST be fanservice that theyre acting like that! it MUST be scripted!! (the cognitive dissonance goes hard in some of these folks.)

It looks like it's solely a Taekooker narrative simply because they are the loudest

nothing to add to this, i just agree. there's more tkkrs than other sub-groups so of course we would see it more often from them.

there had been an uptick in Taekook moments since 2022 compared to the few years before then and not ONCE did I see other shippers cry about "Bighit forcing Taekook down our throats" or accusing Taehyung of being a "fanservice king" (those accusations were only coming from toxic Jikookers)

to be fair, the uptick happened during ch2, so it wouldn't make much sense to say bh was forcing them (not that some other sub-groups ever feel the need to make sense, but that's a them problem). tkk are good friends and had more time to hang out and i love that for them and i do think most jikookers readily admit that tkk love each other. fuck the ones who don't, because it makes them no better than the people they criticize.

No, what makes the Jikook ship so polarizing was never about the quantity of their interactions but always about that special chemistry

that's exactly it, anon. jikook is viewed as a "threat" to all other ships that have jm/jk in them and therefore they take the brunt of hate. they simply would not get the hate and attention they do from other sub-groups if people were not so hellbent on "disproving" them. (weirdo behavior fr.)

i saw someone asking what shippers actually have some sus proof and underneath the comment mentioning jikook, there were tkkrs trying to tell everyone that jk never wanted to be on ays, doesn't like being around jm, etc. you would never catch me behaving like that or even thinking like that, because it simply does not worry me when jm or jk hang out with other people. it reeks of jealousy and insecurity.

no matter who jm and jk spend time with, it simply will not be the same as the moments they have together. whether friends or more than friends, their bond and chemistry is just special and anyone who doesn't want to admit that is lying to themselves.

Hi! I'm kinda new to the fandom, and when I say 'new to the fandom' I mean that I've recently discovered I've a soft spot for Martin 😅😂. I'm checking out your posts and I'm really enjoying your blog. I waned to ask you some questions, I hope you don't mind 🙃

Like, what movies/series with Martin would you recommend me to watch? Up to now I've already watched Breeders, bbc Sherlock and The Hobbit and I'm planning to watch Cargo and The Responder and I think I'll leave Nativity for Christmas 😂

I also meant to ask what are your favourite facts/things about him? Or if you have any headcanons(?) about him.. yk just to get to know more things about him 😂 sorry if it sounds too weird ahah

Lastly, would you mind tagging some- preferably still active- blogs about Martin that you enjoy?

Sorry if you've already been asked these questions, you could link your previous answers, maybe I just haven't stumbled upon those posts just yet.

Thank you very much 🧡

Hello there,

first of all, congrats to your excellent taste. (on Martin.... and on my blog, I suppose) 😃 And of course, I don't mind.

With Breeders and Sherlock you've already watched my 2 personal favourites. I'll also have to recommend Fargo and The Responder. And The Office (the original version from the UK, he was fantastic in that!). Also, StartUp is worth a watch, even tho Martin's role is not that big. But every scene he is in is automatically 500% better. Small warning: The Shower Scene™ and the Cafecito Scene™ should be illegal. I am more a fan of Martin's tv work, but as movies I really like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Black Panther, Ode to Joy, The World's End. The Hobbit movies as well. I am really looking forward to see Miller's Girl, which should be released at the beginning of next year (February?).

What I like about him? So many things: his love for music and fashion, his sense of humour (often misunderstood, but it's 100% my cup of tea), his thoughts on fame (he hates it), the way he always speaks his mind (which many people see as rude, but I envy how he doesn't give a shit about what other people think about him and his opinions), his hair (😆, i hope it grows back fast once he's done with shooting the 2nd season of The Responder), his looks in general. Just the way he talks: I could listen to him for hours and don't get bored. I don't really have headcanons, I think.

Truly active Martin blogs are rare these days, sadly. Lots of Sherlock blogs around, but blogs dedicated to Martin are hard to find.

@colourfulwatson @sannapersikka @free-martinis @shiroinu98mf and there is always my sideblog @martinfreemanspotter. ^^

And no worries, I enjoyed answering your questions. You have more? Great, send another ask! :D

Thanks for the ask!

Hey! I loved the dreams for part 10 OMG How do you come up with everything? I make fics for another fandom am curious about your process 💕

WARNING: rambling about writing & life

- -

aw thank youuu! i don’t feel like i have a set process but i'll try. 3 months ago i wasn't even thinking about writing lol i used this blog for years to download sims cc/read fics 💀 but my life is kinda chaotic and i jump into things on a whim so here we are!

as for the process, my ideas come naturally mostly. irl i have to be creative w work bc it’s 110% necessary, so it’s not hard for me at all on here but it’s draining irl tbh. i’m constantly thinking of ideas, but i add small bits of myself and others in characters too.

ex: anxiety is a very real thing for me so i included it in the fic to relate to the character. every time i post i nearly want to delete everything bc my brain is convinced ppl hate it 🙃

i try to make sure readers can see parts of themselves in the fic, in any character; like descriptions or dialogue (humour). nothing makes me close a fic faster than seeing descriptors like ‘your porcelain skin’ bc i cant relate to that at all and it breaks immersion for me. i don’t want other ppl to feel like that reading my stuff so i use words like ‘soft skin’ instead

for T, i use what we know + astrology (i’m well versed w libra men 😔) but i try to use the good parts only bc…. loll. anything else, i just go with what feels natural for his character development

for J, i just love his silly personality and can’t stop myself from adding him in some way. i also don’t feel that comfortable adding T’s family into the fic just yet so Jude is sort of there for that too. i honestly need to make more jude fics

for smut i try to think of interesting scenes so its not the same every time. i also include more sensual scenes for the romance (like the bubble bath and the couch scene)

the dreams were a creative way for me to explain their subconscious thoughts w some light foreshadowing. i also added flashbacks to show the relationship progressing since i did a time jump

i let the story tell itself as i go. i know the ending (for now) but there’s so much in there i never planned on adding. y/n wasn’t supposed to have siblings, the eclipse thing was meant to just be witty dialogue at first, they were supposed to bump into each other at the route 66 trail marker in santa monica pier instead of a train (may still add that somehow)

i write over a period of days and finish a chapter when it feels right, then i edit at least 3 times for 1-2 days.. but never the same day of writing. ch 9 didn’t have that park flashback in it originally until edit #2 and i can’t imagine the storyline without it now.

i also enjoy adding hidden messages/symbolism. it’s fun to let readers decipher things they don’t understand yet. it’s like a little side quest

all in all.. im just a serial daydreamer who enjoys romance.. been that way forever. i’m also delusional so that helps a ton!!! 😌

feel free to pick my brain more, i love these kinds of questions 🥰

3. 14. J. U. 🙃

Sorry this is a bit late, rl slammed me kinda hard last weekend...

I'll admit I'm guessing which numbered ones you're referencing because there were two numbered lists on the same day, oops, but as one of them needed a specific fic referenced I'm hoping I've got the right list!

3) Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?

Hmm... there are a few tropes around that I'm less fond of - ABO springs to mind immediately, as well as coffee shop AUs - but honestly I am a big fan of deconstructing and twisting tropes so if given the incentive and requisite curiosity of "I wonder how this would go if..." I don't think there's any trope that I would say I'd never write (I once said I'd never write a genderbend, then one happened, so...) I'm less likely to write most romance-based tropes, though, mostly because romance isn't something I generally enjoy writing quite so much.

14) What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?

Oof, that's a hard one. There's quite a few I ignore for one reason or another, mostly because I've reached the point where I write how I write and throwing something different into the equation is just gonna mess me up, but I wouldn't necessarily say they're bad because what works (or not) for me doesn't mean it doesn't (or does) work for someone else. We're all unique people, our minds work in unique ways, and different tips and tricks therefore work on all of us.

One that has screwed me over a few times though is "write at least x words a day". "x" varies, but for me I find that if I can't write that day, trying to force it just makes me hate everything, and then I feel guilty for not writing anything at all and it can take me a while to kick myself out of that and remind myself it's supposed to be a hobby. It's not a requirement, or a chore. This isn't school, or a job. This is something I do in my free time and I shouldn't force it.

J:  What’s your favourite fanfic trope?  Have you written it?

Back in the trope questions again, I see. I should admit that I'm actually bad at these because I can never actually identify "tropes" on demand, if that makes sense. I know a few core ones, but for the most part it's more "what sort of thing do I like?" and yes, I definitely write what I like! Caretaker needing to be taken care of is top of the list, probably, and anyone who reads my stuff will be very familiar with that creeping in!

That being said, if I had to pick a trope I haven't yet written but would like to experiment with one day... Soulmark AUs. They fascinate me, although (like Hanahaki Disease, another one I love to read) there's a prevalence of it being romantic soulmates in almost all the fics I've read, and I have a definite preference for platonic soulmates. But then again, I managed to write a familial Hanahaki, so maybe one day I'll manage to write a soulmark AU that fits both the trope and my own desire for more platonic/familial love fics taking centre stage.

U: Is there a pairing you would like to write, but haven’t tried yet.

Eh, if I'm honest I'm less fussed about writing ships and more platonic pairings, or ones that could fall either way (see: CaeJose from JJBA, which is a fandom I have yet to write for at all). And when we look at platonic relationships, oh there's so many I'd love to dabble in at some point.

That being said, I have just remembered one bizarre One Piece kinda crackship I came up with a few years ago and thought that I might write it but so far haven't... (it was gonna be a Wano arc AU and I thought it up before Wano happened... we're now the other side and needless to say "AU" doesn't even start to cover it ahaha)

Oh, and how could I forget Kaito/Aoko from Detective Conan/Magic Kaito. Admittedly I have something half-baked sat in my drafts so technically I have written something for them, but I've not finished anything worth posting for them. Then again, I've also yet to write any Shinichi/Ran or Heiji/Kazuha, either.

40 Questions — Meme for Fic Writers

Fanfic Writer Ask Meme

[mysteriousxmidnight]

Dear Evan Hansen!!

Yessssss 😍

The first character I first fell in love with: Believe it or not, as much as I love Connor, I fell in love with Evan first because I could relate to how he felt

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Oh, that’s tough… I guess maybe Jared. Only because I hated him when I first got into the fandom and had nothing but the canon material to go by. But after all the character analysis and fanon fanfics I’ve read, I definitely understand him better and kinda relate to him

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: I feel like the answer here is ALSO Jared. Because while I have a new appreciation for him and enjoy writing him, he’s still my least favorite character, if that makes sense.

The character I love that everyone else hates: Maybe Evan? I feel like a lot of people hate him for “manipulating” the Murphy’s, lying and inserting himself into their grief. But there’s way more to it than that, and some people just don’t care to look into him beyond what they see in canon

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: I still love all the characters I originally loved so

The character I would totally smooch: Connor 🙃 No contest, haha

The character I’d want to be like: Alana, for sure. She’s so focused and driven and she’s great at pretending she’s okay. She’s obviously not, she’s hurting, too. But I wish I could fake it as well as she can.

The character I’d slap: In canon, def Larry. Or Jared. Maybe both 😂

A pairing that I love: We all know the answer to that 😂 my OTP will always be TreeBros

A pairing that I despise: This is hard because y’all know how I multi-ship. I’m even hesitant to pick one I don’t like because I don’t like ship shaming, but if I had to pick one… maybe Jared and Alana. I just don’t see them together.

Thanks for the ask! 💜
