What if Luz thinks Hunter does not get it so she emphasizes how he is basically a different specieis and was created in a lab, and Hunter accidently slips out a "yep that's a thing Belos does"

BARK OF LAUGHTER. OH GOD. HUNTER NO.

You can like or dislike fanfiction, but I don't understand people who come to Tumblr to constantly complain about fanfiction...it's like going to someone's house to call their decoration ugly.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not ...why would you do it?

And the complaints are always weird like: "blablabla why do people think in tropes now?" "Why would you want to know what happens in the story, what's even the point of reading it then?"

You want to know why??? Because that's the whole point of the Romance genre!!! The predictability, the promise that no matter what they go through, in the end, there will be a Happy Ending for the protagonists.

I don't read a lot of fanfics but I do read a lot of books and e-books (as in unfortunately I have to pay for those😂). And you know what a lot of authors use to describe their books? Tropes!

An enemies to lovers story with a slow burn, a fake relationship story, a mariage of convinience, a best friends to lovers story etc... And this is coming from published Books.

Maybe it's because the market is saturated and it's the only way to stand out, maybe it makes it easier for their readers to find specific books, I don't know. But I do know that they use tropes to describe their books.

Why sh*t on fanfiction, fanfic readers, fanfic writers when actual published authors do the same??? What is the point exactly ?

And can someone explain to me what's so wrong about using tropes? What's wrong with looking for stuff to read by searching specific tropes? It makes it easier when you're looking for a specific story you want to read and helps you know what you will like or not. Which is great, especially when you're going to pay for the book.

Maybe you don't have a problem with fanfics but with the Romance industry in general? But then why target fanfics as if they were the problem?

updated my card a teensy bit with stuff that was itching me. all i did was add a disclaimer for the christian/religious thematics because hey its dnangel and daisuke literally turns into anime lucifer-of-the-opera + the entire series is religiously inspired (not a religious work) and i can't escape that. but also clarified that i'm multiship and aside from like. orzo's riku, or any other riku rpers that decide to pop up (#doubt,) daisuke by default doesn't actually have anything going on aside from his having been rejected by risa 👍

Because Amity doesn’t have any connection to Raine the same way that Luz does I’m just imagining her even attempting to talk about the clusterfuck that is her relationship to Willow to the two adults she is closer to in this AU but unfortunately those two adults are Lilith and Darius…

I could see Lilith becoming all competitive about it (like in Covention) and manufacturing ways for Amity to show superiority over Willow (and perhaps her own superiority over Terra) because she thinks that is what will make Amity feel better about herself. ( Lilith both caring about Amity but also projecting on her in a way that ends up bringing out the worst in both of them)

And Darius? Amity trying to untangle the emotional mess that is having someone who a very good friend that she had a disastrous falling out with and now has to interact with them and they hate each other but she doesn’t anything bad to actually happen to her but any chance of any sort of positive interaction was a bridge burn long ago?

Darius, 10 layers deep in his own years-old denial: “Idk, sounds normal and rational to me.”

I AM YELLING. EVERY BIT OF THIS. GOD. THIS IS SO IN CHARACTER ON ALL SIDES I JUST. AMITY HAS THE WORST LUCK IN THE WORLD IN THIS AU CONSTANTLYYYY

lilith, already scheming: we could MAIM her. but just a little!! just enough to PUT HER in her PLACE-

amity, Horrified: no-!! that's not-!! i.... darius. darius you're normal. what do YOU think i should do

darius, pulling a cigarette out of nowhere, even though he does not smoke and i don't even think the isles has a tobacco industry: yeah kid. it just be like that sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

unironically, I love that @staff has had at least 2 cases (that I've seen, at least) where someone is like "hey uh maybe staff should worry about the board of terfs in their workplace and also tumblrlive and it's data collection", only for tumblr to WAY overreact and go scorched earth which just makes them look 100% guilty. If there was any doubt in my mind about the previously mentioned incidents, tumblr's decision to respond by nuking op was the biggest red flag in the world.

also is there a question during interviews to work at tumblr that goes "hey how good are you at conflict resolution" and the person in the chair getting interviewed is the embodiment of adding water to a greasefire.
