I want to be sk1nn1 enough that my pants are still loose on me even after tucking in my top

[xvelvetcoffinx]

You see, if everyone around you tells you you're the problem. You eventually internalize it. I wish I never existed, maybe then people around me wouldn't be so miserable. They'd be happy. And that's all I want.

tw rant

am i the only one getting disgusted by the fluctuation of (character) cheating on their married partner by getting with a younger/naive reader?

until i realize that i can put the phone down and hit block but damn so many young girls i see on socmed are obsessed with the idea of stealing a “dilf” from their married wife. i fear this fantasy is only gonna keep feeding into that delusion

[lifexxxdeath]

oh no! my symptoms aren't fitting your romanticized narrative again!

[a-j-s-the-only]

Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear?

“a bear would stop at death”

“we aren’t choosing the bear because we’d think we’d survive.”

“I’d rather feed a bear and it’s cubs than feed a man’s sick fantasies”

“people would believe me when I told them I was attacked by a bear”

“people would stop the bear”

“if I survived a bear attack, people would call me a warrior, not a whore.”

“a bear wouldn’t come into my room again.”

“A bear would do it out of survival, not enjoyment.”

“I wouldn’t have to see the bear at family reunions”

“a bear wouldn’t rape you.”

“if it was a bear, who’s going to ask me what I was wearing?”

“bears live in the woods, not in your house.”

“I wouldn’t be told to forgive the bear.”

“a bear can kill her or leave her alone, and a man has that and a million other opportunities.”

“Johnny loves female V way more than he loves male V”

“Johnny isn’t bi; he had flings with men but truly can only fall in love with women”

“Johnny and V’s dynamic is less interesting with two men”

“Johnny and V are based off of [X classic literature dynamic], and that’s a story about a man and a woman. It could never work with two men.”

“Johnny is the poster child for a tough male archetype; it wouldn’t make sense for him to have a boyfriend.”

I don’t think people who say these things realize what they’re really doing (all of the comments above are things that I have seen more than one person say, by the way, so this isn’t a passive aggressive callout post for a one or two select people or anything).

As someone with a beloved male V x Johnny ship that I’ve spent hours pouring my heart and soul into— writing lore, doing VP, making art— imagine, guys, how it feels for me to read these comments. For others with the same ship dynamic as me to read these comments. Imagine how it would feel if I went to YOUR fem V X Johnny ship and went ‘ackchully, that could never be canon! Johnny loves men more!” Not good, right?

There are times in the past where people have written literal ESSAYS in comments sections about why my ship is bad. And I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: if you say these things to people who are just trying to share art and headcanons, I’m sorry, but you’ve got some issues to work out with yourself. If you have the time to be so worked up about Johnny holding hands with someone who has a dick that you write a long paragraph about how much better fem V is, then I’m not the problem.

And, by the way, I don’t think I’ve mentioned it till this point, but Johnny is canonically bisexual; I’m not just headcanoning here. He’s made comments about wanting to fuck men, more than once have certain devs + the official Cyberpunk Twitter account liked and reposted images of him with male V, his character was based off of David Bowie (a bisexual person), and the official game guide says that Johnny slept with Kerry and Henry. I am not criticizing people who don’t know this information, think Johnny is straight, and are politely concerned about people disrespecting his sexuality— I’ve met plenty of people who don’t know Johnny’s sexuality and nicely go, “oh, I didn’t know that!” when I tell them. No, I’m referring to the people who know this information and choose to ignore it because they don’t like the idea of Johnny being bisexual, or to the people who don’t know Johnny’s sexuality and instantly lash out at male V x Johnny ships because they assume he’s straight.

It also does a disservice to bi people in general to make so many assumptions about Johnny’s sexuality. I’ve seen people assume that Johnny is too ‘manly’ or doesn’t have enough gay mannerisms to be into men, which is very much stereotyping. It also assumes that him preferring women but still liking men means he’s still straight because he talked about sleeping with women more than sleeping with men (ever heard of the Kinsey scale)? Him having two canon girlfriends does not mean he couldn’t have had a boyfriend in the past or that he wouldn’t fall in love with a man (remember him saying he wished he’d fucked Kerry?).

If you’re uncomfortable with the idea of your female V being with a man who finds men attractive, then I’d recommend finding a different character to ship your V with.

Now, to conclude, I’m not denying that Johnny is likely female leaning, and I’m not saying you can’t think your specific female character is the most compatible match for Johnny. I am simply asking that the ship that I and many others have poured hours of our lives into be respected and treated with dignity, and that Johnny’s sexuality be treated with dignity.

The copying in the Outer Banks fandom has gotten completely out of hand. I am not only speaking for myself, but for people who I’ve also witnessed this happening to. It seems that some of you have the mentality of “oh! Well this has probably been done before in fanfiction so it’s not copying because they didn’t invent it!” But if you see someone’s post, and take inspiration from it IN ANY WAY, you need to credit them for it.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a moodboard of a fic they haven’t posted yet. Or just a simple thought they put out into the universe. Even if you use someone’s gif they took the time to make and share, there needs to be credit. I think the over abundance of !Readers has made a lot of regurgitation happening between blogs in this fandom. And I’m not saying you shouldn’t write them, but they’re all the same. Spice it up. And when there is something new? I see it ripped off over and over again until it’s like a telephone game and the original poster is lost in the wind.

It fucking HURTS to put your time, creativity, energy, and care into something and then see someone else take your idea, not even make it their own, and then proceed to give you zero credit for it. Taking inspiration from people is a fundamental human reaction that every person does. But it doesn’t matter if it was malicious. It still hurts just the same. I have posted moodboards teasing my AUs and have had people take that idea and write it before I can ever even post my fic. It fucking sucks. It’s discouraging. And it’s just fucking rude and inconsiderate as hell.

On top of that, it’s fucking boring. Why would you want to march to the beat of every other person in this fandoms drum? Fanfiction is about being whoever the fuck you want, writing whatever the fuck you want, but it seems like people care more about notes and what others think than the actual content they’re putting out. This fandom needs to be less about the aesthetics and more about the content. I’m tired of reading the same thing over and over again. I’m tired of the 500-1k blurbs that throw me right into the smut with no plot or backstory.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a little smut blurb down, but when it’s all you see? It’s gets old. But that being said, the lack of support on longer fics, smut, and angst, is extremely discouraging to writers and it causes us to not want to take the time and effort to write those longer things because while notes aren’t everything, feeling unappreciated in any capacity is shitty. It’s a byproduct of itself.

We need to be more courteous of others. There needs to credit given when inspiration is taken from others. There needs to be less worry about what other people like, what other people will think and more focus on the creativity and the fun of fanfiction. Something needs to change because I have been seeing this almost daily. I have had friends and mutuals coming to me for these exact feelings I’m feeling and it’s discouraging and exhausting to see. There’s also this fear around calling people out for stealing because whenever someone does, hell rains down on them. It’s not cute. People should be allowed to defend their creativity on their own blog.

And they wouldn’t have to. If everyone just started giving credit where credit is due.

okay but where did the “sally is tall, mysterious, hot, and he fucks everyone” thing come from cause SOME PEOPLE (mostly ao3 writers) think hes some kind of playboy bastard who smokes and leaves after sex

THAT BOY WOULD BLUSH IF YOUR HANDS TOUCH FOR 000.001 SECONDS WHILE BEING FLUSTERED AS FUCK

i hate it when a character is reduced to some shallow sex god flirt. dont paint my babe like that 😭

[mtdreamcatcher]

I need to rant for a moment:

AROACE IS A SPECTRUM, NOT A BINARY

As someone who is on the AroAce spectrum myself, it’s beyond frustrating that people claim to advocate for AroAce rights and representation don’t understand this.

The Aromatic spectrum can mean someone isn’t interested in romance at all to someone(like me) who only wants a romantic relationship after developing a deep connection.

The Asexual spectrum can mean someone is repulsed by sex and sexual things, to someone who is okay with having sex and doing sexual things while having no sexual desires themselves.

I understand that some people are just misinformed but I’ve seen some genuine animosity floating around in the Hazbin Hotel fandom specifically.

Alastor is canonically AroAce, but we don’t know what points are of the spectrums he’s on. On top of that Vivzipop herself has stated she’s okay with people shipping Alastor with other characters

In addition to that, QPR(queer platonic relationships) exist.

CUTENESS EXTERMINATOR

A term for anyone who feels the urge to kill, mutilate, stress, or seriously harm something because it is cute. Basically people with cuteness aggeression

This is self indulgent. This was made mostly for the "It's deserves to die for being cute, I don't care" way instead of the "I wanna squeeze it until it pops" way. But idc how people use this

Does anyone ever get the "prn deservse to die and prn should kts.just cuz prn's cute" feeling like I wanna see them dead. It's not intrustive i don't think, cuz the thought is genuine. I hate them. They shouldn't be here. I DON'T WANNA RUIN THEM. THEY ARE ALREADY RUINED. GET IT AWAY. NOW

[smllbunny]

Just because you can ɛa7, doesn't mean that u should.

[0bsess1v3-dracoryf]

As someone with a plethora of paraphilias

What the fuck do you mean recovery?

I'm genuinely baffled that some people think this is something you can recover from, it's just like any other attraction, do you want me to tell you to recover from being gay? As a gay person that makes me sick, so why don't you think it makes us sick when you put "DNI paraphiles unless you're recovering" in your pinned post

What is there to recover from? And don't think this means I'm pro contact, genuinely fuck that shit, but this attraction isn't hurting me so what is there to recover from? Do you think every paraphile is suffering? Some of us are happy the way we are without hurting anyone

I think some of you genuinely need to read the definition of paraphilia, because it's clear you never have.

tw rant

whats up with the weird misogyny in some fics?? like i get that ur all “so thirsty” but some of what ive seen is just so weird

why are you showcasing this kind of objectifying desire? and treat it as if its a good thing?

mischaracterizing characters who respect women and people in general just to make them scummy men who see the reader (mostly afab/fem aligned y/n’s) as some kind of fleshlight who doubles as a punching bag

if ur that masochistic… okay then

[maryland-officially]

If my science teacher says "for those OCDish people I have rulers" one more FUCKING time I'm going to lose it.

I told him it's better to say 'perfectionist', because OCD is a DISORDER, but apparently "the acronym is easier, and funnier".

Will be throwing hands, shut the fuck up.

OCD is not 'funny', it's a neurodivergency and an anxiety disorder. It causes extreme obsessions, and you are laughing at a stereotype.

like. when im shivering i don't go "oh, I'm so arthritis." no. I would probably say "im shaking" because I'm not a fucking idiot who doesn't understand that OCD doesn't mean perfectionist but somehow is licensed to teach children evolution and astronomy.

Reach for the stars, my friend, maybe you'll find a fucking diagnosis sheet for OCD and realize "Oh, hey, maybe I shouldn't call perfectionism OCD because OCD causes extreme obsessions, anxiety, and 'delusions'*. Maybe I shouldn't encourage that stereotype."

*delusions as in it can feel like something is the most real true thing ever, no matter what that thing is, and that oh god oh god you're going to fucking die if you don't ___ because the fucking ___ is going to kill you but no it's just a fucking Tuesday. This is not most likely not the correct word and I'm sorry for that please don't hate me I can find a different one I'm sorry im sorry sorry im sorry

(Common misunderstanding - it's not always 'I will die if I dont ___')

(Common misunderstanding 2 - the compulsion doesn't 'help'. It provides a temporary sense of relief - sometimes. You may get extremely disappointed, though, because it doesn't feel right still. It still feels wrong and you are unclean you are beyond saving there isn't anything that can help you now)

If I have to hear one more person complain about Bella Ramsey as Ellie I will lose it. TLOU fans got one of the few fantastic live action video game adaptations and cannot show even an ounce of gratitude for it. Legit I have never seen a more entitled fanbase than that of TLOU. (On Tiktok specifically, I have not ventured into TLOU tags on here. This post is more of a rant about the Tiktok fanbase that anything else.)

Does anyone complain about Joel? (Some do yes but not to the point of bullying him off his socials, like they did to Bella), but does Pedro Pascal look like video game Joel? No. Why cant the same be for Bella? Its a double standard, simply because they don't think Bella is "pretty" enough to be Ellie.

You know who Bella looks like Imo? Ashley Johnson. I could 100% see them as Ashley's child, and would you look at that! Ellie's mother was played by Ashley! Making Bella's Ellie the daughter of Ashley's Anna! Its almost like the casting department knew what they were doing!
