You're still champion of my heart baby <3

Summary: Tyler faces his toughest fight yet against Chris Jericho with PLE implications. Luckily for him, Tyler's girlfriend isn't above getting her hands dirty in order to help her man win.

You finish up your match against Emi Sakura, managing to earn a quick win against the Japanese legend. After celebrating in with a few fans on your way up the ramp, you head back to the locker room to see if Tyler's left yet.

"Ty? You in here?" You announce yourself as you come through the locker room door.

"Yeah." Tyler replies dryly from somewhere inside the locker room. "You beat, Emi?" He asks you as you shut the door behind you.

You snort and nod. "Course I did, look at who you're talking to." You laugh.

"Right." Tyler laughs with you.

You clean up some excess sweat from your body and throw on a shirt over your ring gear while Tyler idles on his phone like usual.

"Shouldn't you be headed out to the ring to talk with Jericho's annoying ass?" You ask Tyler after you're done changing.

"Yeah, unfortunately." Tyler nods. "I can't believe that he went and whined to my dad." He grumbles.

You snort and agree. "Look at who you're talking about, Ty." You remind him. "Jericho is a total snake. And he's ugly so,"

"You did warn me." Tyler nods. "I'm headed out. Wanna walk with me?" He asks you.

"Sure." You shrug and head over to the door.

Tyler pulls open the door for you and the two of you head down to the tunnel. You stop right at the tunnel entrance and watch Tyler head through it. You hang back since you know that he doesn't need you for this. Not with a shmuck like Chris Jericho.

You hang around backstage and watch the confrontation in the ring from the monitors set up in various places. You roll your eyes at Chris' arrogance, silently praying that Tyler just decks him.

"Oh what the fuck!?" You curse the air when Jericho decides to take a shot at Taz.

Tyler handles the situation, getting into Chris's face. But your worry for Taz gets the better of you. You head down to the ring from the back way so you don't take the spotlight away from Tyler.

"Taz!" You rush over to his side as he carefully rolls out of the ring. "Are you alright?" You help him down to the floor.

"Yeah, I'm alright, kid." Taz assures you, but you notice that his knee is obviously bothering him.

You set a cautious and gentle hand on Taz's shoulder and walk with him back over to the commentary table. Tyler takes a second to glance your way and you flash him a quick thumbs up. Ty nods at your assuring gesture and goes right back to getting in Jericho's face.

"You sure that you're okay, Taz?" You ask Taz again once he's at down.

"I'm good." Taz nods. "Come on, give me some credit, kid. I ain't quite that old yet." He chuckles. "But I appreciate the concern."

You nod and slink back around the tunnel to the backstage area to wait for Tyler to come back.

A few minutes later Tyler comes stomping through the tunnel with a foul air about him. You walk over to him and try your best to tame the beast before he thinks about doing something drastic.

"Tyler! Hey!" You rush over to Tyler's side.

"Is my dad alright?" Tyler asks you, venom in his tone.

You nod and put a hand on Tyler's arm. "Yeah, he said that he was okay." You assure him. "Come on, let's head back to the locker room and get our stuff so we can get out of here." You give his arm a small tug away from the tunnel since Chris is still out in the ring.

"Thanks for going out there and checking on him, YN." Tyler relaxes a little bit.

"Yeah, of course." You nod and begin pulling him along. "And hey, you'll get another shot at kicking Jericho's ass, okay? In the ring. Properly." You glance his way while you're walking with him.

Tyler's jaw clenches in frustration. "He's lucky that I didn't lay him out right then and there." He insists.

"I know, baby." You rub Tyler's arm, still making sure to put as much distance between him and anything Chris Jericho related as possible.

Sunday night rolls around and it's time for Dynasty. You're not scheduled for a match on the card so you opt to hang around backstage and provide Tyler with all the support that he needs tonight.

Tyler's been in a foul mood since Wednesday, and if you weren't a hater then you'd be fearing for Chris Jericho's well being right now.

"You want me out there with you?" You ask Tyler while he's getting ready for his match.

"Nah." Tyler shakes his head. "I can do this by myself." He assures you. "Can you maybe hang with my dad on commentary though?" He asks you.

You nod, surprised that Ty seems worried about his dad. "Yeah, sure." You pull your shoes back on while Tyler finishes getting ready.

The time comes for Tyler's match and the two of you head out. You let Tyler do his entrance by himself and go the back way down to the commentary table. Taz pulls up a chair for you to sit next to him in, but you decline his offer of a headset.

Chris saunters out to the ring after Tyler with his usual smug aura. You roll your eyes at the challenger as he passes the commentary desk but remain in your seat.

The bell rings and the match gets underway, and just like you suspected. It doesn't take long for the bout to get violent. You sit in silence next to Taz while Tyler and Chris go at it beating the crap out of one-another. You wince each time Chris uses a dirty tactic to try and get the upper hand and your anger grows with each second.

"Oh no." Taz slips his headset off his head once Chris retrieves his metal bat from where he was stashing it under the ring.

Tyler barely managed to kick-out of Jericho's last pinning attempt. So you know if Chris lands this than it's over for your boyfriend.

"Oh, fuck no!" You jump out of your seat and slip past Taz.

You rush around the ring and shove Jericho to the floor while's he's got his back turned away from you. Chris's bat goes flying out of his hands and you pick it up.

"Ty might be to proud to be a cheater, Chris." You stare down Jericho as he gets to his feet slowly. "But I'm not like my boyfriend."

You swing the bat at Jericho and it collides with his head. The blow instantly crumples Chris to his knees and you drop the bat. Tyler finally stirs in the ring so you haul Jericho's fat ass up and roll him into the ring before calmly walking back over to the commentary table.

You are met by Taz who looks at you with adoration like you've never seen on the man's face before.

In the ring, Tyler gets to his feet and locks in REDRUM on Chris, not that it's need after your handwork. Aubrey calls a stop to the match after checking on Chris and the bell rings. You pluck the FTW championship from it's perch at the timekeepers area and make your way into the ring.

Tyler lifts himself back to his feet again and you hand his championship back to him. "I knew you could do it." You smile at him and lift his hand in the air in victory.

"Thanks for the help, babe." Tyler whispers to you, secretly proud that you didn't let any of Chris's bullshit slide.

The crowd cheers for Tyler and you hear Taz mention you back at the commentary table proudly. Chris Jericho has been silenced and all is right in the world again.

[cannibalgh0st]

I've known for a long time now that one day your art and enthusiasm and great taste in tropes would pull me into some fandom I never thought I'd join, but I'll be honest, I always guessed it was going to be one of those live action Gotham shows. Sports feels so wholly, entirely out of left field that I don't even know how to react. I've been going through the backlog of Jungle Boy's lore and taking furious notes! Like, he lost his father, then his father figure mentor turned on him and became his nemesis with a thousand personal remarks? And then his bestie joined his ex-mentor? And then he had to fight his ex mentor and beat him and then kissed him goodbye on the forehead before (symbolically?) killing him and then burying him like he did his father? And by doing so, his ex-mentor committed one final act of cruelty against him by forcing him to make that choice, to make Jungle Boy an agent of his own loss and deterioration, take part in it. And from that point on, Jungle Boy became more focused on going after what he wants and taking it no matter who is in his way? Did I understand all of that right?

And then he becomes best friends and partners with a guy who is like the perfect foil to him: an unstoppable 2nd gen fighter - young, even younger than himself. They have so much in common, and they like each other so much. But. Hook keeps winning. He hasn't lost his father. He hasn't lost his mentors or his friends. He hasn't sacrificed anything. And he. Still. Keeps. Winning. And it's always right there in Jungle Boy's face. And when JB turns on him, out of the blue, the first thing he does is drop to his knees as if...mourning himself? And then the next time he shows up, he's dressing, talking, and acting just like his (dead? is he dead in-universe or...? idk how that works) ex-mentor--

--ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! WRESTLING HAS JUST HAD THIS THE WHOLE TIME? I am going to show up every damn week from now on, and I'm going to have no idea what the moves being yelled out by the commentators are, and I am going to wait on the edge of my seat for the dialogue much like impatiently skipping paragraphs of description. And I'm going to make chips for it! WTF what the actual fuck there's enough for 2/3 books of a novelization trilogy here wtf wtf sports??? I am losing my mind

@emma-d-klutz how I enjoy out convos! ✨️

Yes, AEW actually has really good storylines- especially recently with Jungle Boy! That burial match was one of my favorites when he fought Christian Cage - it was so personal, but I appreciated the end results. Effing great, so choice. I'm wondering when they'll have another reunion soon? Now that Jack went heel *bad guy* and said a few nights again when he was in a team, he was a champion... maybe he'll team up with Cage and Luchasaurus again? Or he'll just be his own bad guy???

SO, the drama with him and Hook kinda felt off to me. A lot of people felt Hook was going to betray Jungle Boy, but I never saw that? Hook has always teamed up with people who've been good to him, and surprisingly, Hook is super chill with them, lol. But now the betrayal of Jack kinda makes me think if Hook will ever have another team up :( unless it was Danhausen or the Hardy Boys etc.

JungleHook was a very young and cool team up! I kinda wish they would've gone for tag titles... but alas...

The side drama is ongoing this upcoming Wednesday! I love AEW and how they have a variety of drama going on in between the fights. LOL - even better when the drama is in the ring...!!!

Welcome to Chloe Watches Wrestling!

Hey lovelies! I'm Chloe, the wrestling fanatic behind this page. Since 2008, the world of pro wrestling has captured my heart and refused to let go. Not only am I a dedicated fan, but I also married a fellow wrestling enthusiast, and together we've shared our passion for 12 incredible years 🤍

Wrestling isn't just a pastime for me—it's my greatest passion in life. I've tasted the thrill from both sides of the ring—I took a shot at becoming a pro wrestler myself, dedicating six months to training before a collar bone injury set me on a different path. But every bump and bruise was worth the love and respect I have for this incredible sport!

At Chloe Watches Wrestling, I'm all about romanticizing wrestling—seeing it as the unique art form it truly is. This blog is a haven for all things wrestling, where we'll explore the heroes, the villains, the weird, and the wonderful…

As for my favourites, I'm drawn to the unconventional, the darkly charismatic, and the enchantingly different. Mick Foley, the master of multiple personas, holds a special place in my heart. Rhea Ripley, with her fierce intensity, captures my attention in the current wrestling landscape. And Bray Wyatt—the wrestling genius who creates stories in unique worlds that blur the lines between reality and fiction (hoping for a return sooner rather than later!).

Stay tuned for essays, opinions, and insights!

With pins, submissions, and a whole lot of heart, Chloe xoxo

Hey guys! Let's put my art to good use!

Dr. Mohammed Al-Deeb ( @mohammedaldeeb ) reached out to me on my personal blog looking for help spreading awareness and getting donations for his fundraiser to get himself and his family out of Gaza & support themselves in Egypt once they get there. He is #212 on nabulsi and el-shab-hussein's Vetted Evacuation Fundraiser spreadsheet.

I'm doing drawing requests for anyone who donates at least €5 to his GFM and sends me a screenshot of their receipt. They can be sent to me here or @petitelappin. You can request a guy from your shows, your OC, your cousin Kyle, and I'll make a little drawing for you.

Match my own donation of €20 and I'll add color!

Let's see how much we can raise!

[muffin-man-marq-lynch]

I've only been a wrestling fan for a few months but I have to say with the nervous flutter about wrestlers lurking on Tumblr and fic sites and other traditionally closed-off fandomy spaces? I get it. On both sides.

But if I was a wrestler with the natural inclinations and curiosity to poke my nose into what people are saying in my industry outside of the dirtsheets, I would get really, really tired of the same six talking points regurgitated over and over on Twitter and Reddit threads arguing about ratings, whether X is washed up, the same fucking wank over and over floating to the top. I say this because I have tried to stick my nose into the wrestling Twitter and Reddit communities a few times as a new fan and it exhausts me already.

So yeah, I can see the appeal as a lurking wrestler on Tumblr for the exact same things we do.

Look at that! HD Gifsets of the matches! Showing off the moments that really made people pop and the moves that were incredible in more than just YouTube clips, filled with tagged commentary.

Oh fun, longer form commentary on where matches might go, pulling together histories of feuds and reigns, lighter hearted debates and shitposts all around.

A tagging system that actually allows some muting once in a while that people sometimes use?

And yes, fic, art, and objectification. Cheers, I have been working very hard on my pecs, my tits did look amazing tonight, thank you for noticing my costume details change.

Yes, we're horny, we're ravenous, we're transing your genders, foaming at the mouth, etc etc. But we've been here doing this for a while. I was doing this shit with a community on LiveJournal for Kayfabe Jon Stewart & "Stephen" Colbert back in 2009 and they knew and played it up for us too.

The weird pervert who is harmless but a good friend trope has gone way down lately, which makes sense given the current climate post #MeToo, but Kenny Omega on Being The Elite was a great example: in a sea of other dick jokes he was the ulti-perv they all still chose to hang out with. We on Tumblr are for the most part not bashing, harassing, haranguing, or spreading misinformation. We're just making art, noticing details, supporting work, and throwing out lewd jokes.

It's entirely up to the wrestling community if they want to hang out with us while we do those things, but it seems pretty clear that that is a vibe a lot of them are comfortable with, and some are happy to dig deeper into the weird shit we're making.

I just see a lot of people getting self-loathing about what they've been posting and I wanted to offer a different perspective. I've seen actors lose their minds being delighted at body pillows of themselves or mousepads of their supple tits. Adults are all different and none of this should be forced on anyone at conventions or tagged at them etc, but if they seek it out and like it? Well then, welcome to the Devil's Sacrament. Have fun, and personally I'm glad Tumblr is also your happy escape space.

CM STAG

[could-they-be-a-pro-wrestler]

As someone who took a hiatus from wrestling for a couple of years and has recently come back to it, I just wanted to share how much of a shock the current wrestling scene was for me. Breaking this down by individual wrestlers:

1) Cody Rhodes: male model who went crazy after he thought he was disfigured —> actual Captain America/Homelander

2) Drew McIntyre: Scottish guy who is just kinda there, a bit of a loser —> holy crap, he’s a major player now? And he’s apparently this obsessed crazy person who wants CM Punk dead?

3) CM Punk: best in the world, the company rebel —> not much has changed, except he’s now an oldhead who is vibing in the WWE space. He’s like that cool old guy who always has a story to tell about his younger days.

4) Rey Mysterio: the guy who does really cool tricks, but is sadly always getting injured —> he’s beefing with his son? And now he’s leading the Latino version of NWO?

5) Dominik Mysterio: Rey’s son, a NPC in the WWE universe —> biggest asshole ever, fuck this guy (not serious, I mean storyline-wise), 2nd coming of Eddie Guerrero

6) Triple H: Undertaker’s greatest enemy, the last of the old guard —> the best WWE storyteller in the last couple of years?

7) Michael Cole: annoying heel commentator —> really good face commentator

8) John Cena: All Might in his prime —> All Might in the present day, retiring and giving out wise advice to the younger wrestlers

9) Christian: Edge’s best friend, just kinda there in the WWE space —> AEW’s biggest menace

10) Kofi Kingston: the guy who does cool stunts at Royal Rumble, doesn’t really get to do much else —> was part of a nerd trio that took off in popularity, actually got to see his comedic chops

11) R-Truth: going through a mental breakdown after several years of being a rapper —> he somehow turned into Deadpool (of the people on this list, this is the most logical character development so far lol)

Being a wrestling fan is wanting to be put in several submissions positions just to crack your back and maybe, just maybe, relieve your back pain

Just by seeing this gif I swear I can hear the soul of my back crack-

My dorky British man!! I love u <3

Summary: The reader and Will continue to share some flirty dialogue and grow closer. Something that piques Don's interest the more that he see's the pair interact.

The hotel lobby is bustling with people checking in and out of their rooms. You file into the lobby with, Hobbs, Konosuke, Kyle, and Will behind you. Don is off on some business and won't be back with the group until next week in a new city. And Callis has left you in charge of the group in his absence.

"Okay! Dynamite is at eight, like usual." You glance down at your watch briefly. "So I want everyone in the arena and ready for the show by 6:30 by the latest. Got it?" You take the time to look at each man in front of you. "Other than that? I don't care what y'all get up to. Me personally? I'm headed up to my room to relax for a few hours."

"I'm putting my bags away then hitting the gym." Hobbs is the first one to speak up.

"Yeah, me too." Konosuke agrees.

Kyle looks up from his phone, a sly grin on his face. "I've got a date with my girl in an hour." He explains.

You nod and watch Will and Konosuke walk off since the two of them are sharing a room. Kyle goes back to texting on his phone and walks off as well, which leaves you with Will.

"What about you, Will?" You turn to Ospreay. "No gym before the show?" You ask him.

"Nah, I hit the gym before the plane ride." Will shakes his head. "Hanging out in the hotel room sounds lovely though. Care for some company?" He grins cheekily at you.

You roll your eyes playfully and pick your bag back off up the floor by your feet. "Sure, why not." You shrug. "You're buying me lunch though. Because I am starving." You joke with a laugh.

"Of course!" Will grins and grabs his bags as well. "My pleasure, love. What are you in the mood for?" He asks as the two of you head to the elevator.

You shrug again and step into the elevator while brainstorming lunch idea's. You and Will go your separate ways for a few minutes to put your bags away in your rooms. You head into your room and set down your bags before taking a seat on the edge of your bed and checking your phone. You promised that you'd give Don a call once everyone landed and made it to the hotel.

"Don? Hey, yeah we made it to the hotel." You dial Don's number and don't have to wait long for him to answer.

"YN!" Don is quick to reply. "Good to hear! And what is everyone up to before the show?" He asks you.

You hold your phone against your ear with your shoulder and pull off your shoes. "Umm, Konosuke and Will are headed to the gym." You explain. "And Kyle has a date with his girlfriend." You add.

"Okay." Don replies. "And what about Ospreay?" He asks you.

You get your shoes off and go back to holding your phone normally when a knock sounds at the door. "Oh! That should be him right now!" You perk up and head for the door. "Will and I are getting lunch and resting up before the show."

"Just you and Ospreay?" Don coughs, suspicion in his tone. "Alone in your hotel room all afternoon?" He questions you.

"Yes, Don." You roll your eyes and answer the door. "Hey, Will. I'm just checking in with Don, make yourself at home." You let Ospreay inside the room and shut the door behind him. "I've got it all under control, Don. Okay?" You assure him. "I'll call you again before the show and check in."

Don goes to make another comments, but you hang up the phone and toss it onto your bed. Your phone bounces around before you jump after it and settle onto your bed. Will takes a seat at the edge of the bed and scoots up so he's sitting next to where you're lounging.

"Did the princess decide what she'd like for lunch?" Will looks down at you with a goofy smile.

"I'm kind of feeling a good burger? What about you?" You suggest and prop yourself up onto an elbow.

Will nods and fishes his phone out of the pocket of his grey sweats. "Sounds good. Got any place in mind?" He asks you.

You bite the inside of your cheek in thought and remember a really good burger place in the city that you've eaten at before. "Oh! I know a really good place downtown!" You reach forward with your free hand and pluck Will's phone out of his hand.

"Hey!" Will whines as his phone slips out of his hand.

"Here it is!" You stick your tongue out at Will playfully before quickly looking up the burger joint on his phone. "This is the place!" You hand his phone back to him.

Will takes his phone back and scrolls through the website menu for a minute. "Oh, this all looks good, yeah." He nods his head. "What do you want?" He asks you and pulls up the order page on the site.

You rattle off your order and Will types it in before picking something for himself. He places the order before discarding his phone on the bed next to him.

"Delivery says 20 minutes, give or take of course." Will informs you. "So. What are we going to spend our afternoon doing then?" He turns toward you with a suggestive smile.

"Well I plan on enjoying a meal then catching up on some work emails." You reply with a laugh. "Feel free to lounge around and look pretty though." You wink at Will playfully.

Will chuckles and scoots closer to you. "Oh, so you think I'm pretty then, do ya, love?" He teases you.

"You're pretty easy on the eyes, yeah." You giggle. "But I'm sure that you're more than aware of that." You add.

Will shrugs, a playful smile still playing on his face. "A little, maybe." He laughs with you. "I bet that we'd make one hell of a power couple. Wouldn't we?" He asks you.

You laugh at Will's statement, remembering Don's words a few weeks ago. "You know? Don said the same thing to me a few weeks ago." You shake your head.

"Did he now?" Will perks up. "Does that mean Callis is giving us his blessing then?" He asks you.

"His blessing?" You reply. "Will, sweetie. I don't need permission from anyone when it comes to my love life." You set a hand on his chest.

Will's gaze flits down to your hand on his chest before it returns to your face. You notice his eyes linger on your lips before he starts to slowly lean in toward you.

Before Will can close the gap, someone knocks on the door. Will lets out a groan and you laugh as he slips off the bed and trudges across the room to answer the door.

"Yeah, mate?" Will answers the door in a grumpy tone.

"I have an order here for Will?" A deliver guy stands on the other side of the door with a large bag in his hand.

Will nods and reaches into his sweats pocket for his wallet. He hands a few bills over for a tip and takes the bag from the delivery guy. You slide off the bed and walk over to the small table set up in the room. Will shuts the door behind him after muttering a quick thanks and walks the food over to you at the table.

You take the bag from Will who then sits down next to you. You divvy up the food and dig into your meal. The burger and fries are just as good as the last time you ordered from this place. A bit messier than a normal burger, but delicious nonetheless. And despite his poutiness from his earlier interruption, Will seems to enjoy his meal as well.

"Wow." You muse after you've finished eating. "That was just as good as last time. Maybe even a bit better if I'm being honest." You admit and begin cleaning up your napkins and wrappers in front of you.

"This was really good, yeah." Will agrees, also finishing up his meal. "You've got a little something right in the corner of your mouth though." He points to his own mouth for reference.

You reach up with a napkin and attempt to clean yourself up. But your attempt only earns a chuckle from Will. "What?" You narrow your eyes at him.

"Here, let me." Will reaches forward with a napkin in hand and swipes your bottom lip gently with it. "There." He smiles to himself, his gaze once again fixed on your lips.

Your heart skips a beat as Will attempts to lean in and close the gap between the two of you again. But this time there's no pesky delivery man to get in his way.

Ospreay closes the gap between the two of you, his hand delicately holding your chin as he presses his lips to yours in a sweet kiss. You pull back from him after a moment and shake your head.

"What's wrong?" A look of worry crosses Will's face as he realizes that he might have just made a huge mistake.

"I hate it when Don is right. Smug bastard." You laugh to yourself before leaning back toward Will.

Will chuckles to hide the relief written all over his face and grabs your arm gently. Ospreay pulls you gently out of your seat and swiftly into his lap. You giggle and card your hands through his mess of curly as his hands run up your back, your shirt riding up with them.

Ospreay kisses your hard, pulling your body into his as much as he can with you straddling him in this cheap dining chair. Neither of you hear the knock at the door, or it opening seconds later when no-one answers it.

"Hey, YN, I was meaning to ask you-OH!" Kyle comes through the door with a shocked look on his face. "Nevermind. I can came back later. Carry on." He is quick to turn right back around and shut the door behind him.

You lean back in Will's lap, his hands on your back keeping you from tipping back out of the chair. You laugh, hands set on Will's shoulders. "Whoops." You muse. "How long before you think he's on the phone with Don snitching on us?" You joke with Will.

"Oh, he's most definitely on the phone right now." Will laughs with you before leaning up for another kiss. "Now. Why don't we move this to someplace a little more comfortable?" He suggests as he rises to his feet with you in his arms.

"I could use a change of scenery, yeah." You giggle and wrap your legs around his waist. "You should probably lock the door though. I'm not to keen on being interrupted again. Are you?"

Will cracks a larger-than-life smile and drops you onto your back. You fall back onto your bed and watch him sprint toward the door and lock it before turning back to you. Will grins and pulls his shirt over his head as he stalks back over to you.

You can only imagine the I-told-you-so that you are going to get from Don the next time you talk with him. But damn will it have been worth it.

wrestling fic writers!!

i have decided to be the change i wanna see, so lets do a nice little thing for each other, as a community full of incredible and talented writers. yes this is writer specific only, but thats cause thats where the main problem of people not interacting with creative works lies in this fandom as far as i can tell and have seen people talking about it especially in the last couple of months

if you read this, please add links to your written works. it can be just a single fic youre really proud of, your writing blog, your writing tag, your ao3 account, anything where your works can be found

and if you leave your link here, PLEASE check out someone else that has left their works, and interact with them. leave them a comment, even just a kudos, REBLOG their fic, etc. interacting is the keyword i want to emphasize here, along with building a sort of a masterpost of where to find people writing in this fandom

and if you are not a writer, youre still highly encouraged to interact with this post and share it and show love to the writers in this fandom, obviously!! i think that should go without saying, but adding it in anyways

a bit more about my vision and resources and such under the read more, but thats the gist of it. happy linking and please be kind and supportive to each other!! 💜

nobody is too big or too small to add their things on this list. if you write and post anything in this fandom whatsoever, be it fics or drabbles or headcanons, any companies or any kind of ships or reader inserts or any content whatsoever no matter how 'dead dove dont eat' or hell even if its just meta, we welcome all here and nobody can say that one thing is less valid than another. just please tag your content accordingly, especially if theres content warnings, and feel free to mention what you write, who you write, any info you wish to leave that would help people before they click on your links. but even so, that should not and hopefully will not deter people from interacting, no matter what it is. someones trash is another ones treasure, i promise you

and unless the amount gets really overwhelming, im personally going to be checking out everyone that leaves something here. unless it squeaks me out, but even then, i'll spread the word. and i just wish as many people as possible will do the same, and not just use this as a potential board to only get eyes on their stuff. ofc thats also the point, but you should give as much, if not more, than you get. we need to be kind and supportive of one another (besides, from personal experience, if you show love to someone else, they are more likely to do it back than without you taking the first step, so... pay it forward)

as for resources, heres a few links that should be helpful in leaving comments and feedback. of course everyone does their own thing and no comment is too big or too small to leave, but for those who need them. if you have anything you'd like added to this list, dont hesitate to get in touch or drop it in the post yourself!!

and just in general.. leave people comments. leave them asks about their projects. just go over and gush about their work. i know it sounds embarrassing but writers love nothing more than to hear that someone likes what they are doing. if you find a fic that hasnt been updated in forever, comment on it. it might just be the spark the author needs to continue. while kudos and likes are nice, and just as valuable to some, its definitely in the words the people leave for them that matter the most. im not saying this to put pressure on anyone, its just how it is, and i feel like unless people are writers themselves, and even then sometimes, thats just hard to grasp, especially if the writer is a smaller and less popular one who doesnt get a lot of traffic in the first place

i think thats all. just be nice and considered to everyone, reblog peoples works, this post with others add ons and so forth. and if i find anyone talking shit here or at other writers for something they share, you'll be blocked and im probably taking your kneecaps. be fucking nice. we are all struggling here and we need to stick together

happy sharing and commenting 💜💜
