Regarding the whole "Fandom Is An Escape, so why should I have to care this much about misogyny/racism/ableism/transphobia/etc." thing. Idk about the rest of you, but it gets kind of hard for me to "escape" when I keep seeing people say the same vile things about characters who share aspects of my identity that I hear all the time in real life.
#gotta say: it doesn't make me feel any better getting ignored/disparaged on account of my gender irl and then seeing every fictional woman#also get ignored/disparaged when there is no material difference between her and popular male characters other than her gender#how do I escape from irl misogyny if y'all keep willfully ignoring and flinging gendered insults at 99% (<-lowball estimate) of#female characters? how do I put aside the ableism I face in real life when y'all discuss disabled/mentally ill characters in the most#absolutely out-of-pocket way? how do I forget about biphobia when the 'arguments' you make 'for fun' about bisexual characters#in fiction sound EXACTLY the same as the things people say about my bisexuality outside of the internet/fan culture?#and then obviously this gets compounded if you are trying to even simply EXIST in fandom as a poc or a trans person or an intersection of#any or all these varying identities/life experiences#like yes caring about fictional characters is not the same as caring about real people OBVIOUSLY I can't BELIEVE I have to keep clarifying#that. and at the same time!! because multiple things can be true at the same time!!!! engaging in behavior that enforces pre-ingrained#societal biases and prejudices!!!!!!!! does not help dismantle those biases and prejudices!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in a real-world way that DOES#involve caring about actual people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#it's also. interesting. when people go on & on about how some newest show about thin cis white (male) gays is So Important & Revolutionary#So We Must Do Everything To Keep It Relevant And Visible and then act this way about women/poc/trans people/disabled people/fat people#in media. so like. you DO agree that seeing a variety of life experiences represented in fiction is beneficial. you DO believe in the#value of depicting marginalized people. interesting that that only seems to apply to a VERY narrow and specific category of marginalization#(ugh remember when I talked about this and someone called me a straight person good times)

me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts
#toy txt post#my reasons are irrational you dont need to try to talk me into it. i KNOW#its very silly of me#imagine how much reading i could get done. but alas. Feels Bad#even listening to a more. uh. Story type podcast or fiction like nightvale was a bit difficult to start for me. i like nightvale now i#listened. but i worry that is clocking in my brain as an Exception 😔 maybe it would be easier if i tried some nonfiction books? scary#i also struggle with single host podcasts apparently even tho im also ehhhh on the kind where the structure is the host Interviewing a#different person everytime? maybe it would be okay with a nonfiction audiobook tho cos it would be getting read by a narrator and not sound#so much like a guy ranting into a mic which makes me feel a little insane. altho propaganda doesnt necessarily always sound like a guy#ranting into a mic so idk. i could probably make it through if i can find a nice book about like. parasitic worms. i could tolerate#feeling like im falling into sigma male affirmations videos for worms i think. wormffirmations are allowed#*to clarify i dont listen to those but listening to better offline makes me feel like im morphing into the kinda guy who does and i hate it#which feels unfair cos he is RIGHT and the podcast is good but i need there to be like a cohost there to break the tension of the Ranting#sometimes he has guests on? but its not quite the same#i think the format i like best is either like 2 or 3 regular cohosts discussing things within a specific topic#OR. 1 host whos like infodumping to the other host who knows nothing about the subject. OR. 2 hosts info dumping to each other about#different aspects of the subject. OR. 1 host who brings on fun guests to infodump to them about a subject. and then obviously the subject#needs to intrigue me. ex. sawbones well theres your problem (I HATE THAT THIS ONE IS BEST EXPERIENCED ON YOUTUBE😭 I WANT THEM TO JUST DUMP#ALL THE SLIDES INTO A BIG BLOG POST SOMEWHERE AND I CAN CHECK IN AND FOLLOW ALONG THAT WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE MY PHONE SCREEN ON THE#WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!! but. im listening for free so its unreasonable to demand more of them BUT ALSO I FEEL LIKE JUST COPYPASTING ALL OF THE#SLIDES INTO A BIG BLOG POST ISNT THAT MUCH MORE EFFORT THAN EDITING A WHOLE YOUTUBE VIDEO? WAAAAAH. THEY DONT NEED TO BE TIMESTAMPED OR#ANYTHING JUST THROW EM IN ILL FIGURE IT OUTTTTTT#anyway. also more than 3 hosts is really pushing my ability to keep track of voices.#anyway: sawbones wtyp tpwky behind the bastards scam goddess#(which is true crime adjacent but focuses mainly on scams and isnt copaganda and laci is funny and cool)#common descent pod completely arbortrary maintenance phase if books could kill#deep sea podcast has more bringing ppl in to interview them about shit than i personally enjoy but i put up with it cos i do like the hosts#and the subject

Oh boy, this is a difficult one.
Just so we are all clear I'm putting this first thing first: this chapter focus heavily on the theme of incest and has an explicit sexual scene between brothers (both over 18, btw), so if this is something you don't like or find in some way disturbing or triggering, please don't read. The central part also delves heavily into the description of bullying incidents and depiction of a toxic home environment. There is no actual scene, this episodes are only mentioned, still if you find this triggering be warned. These bullying incidents are in no way sexual, btw, just to be clear, just old Rex being an asshole as usual.
Yeah, about this chapter and this theme in particular, let's talk about it. I confess that in canon media it's not something I like. If I read a book or watch a movie or a TV series where there are two characters that are related to each other I do not like to read fan fiction where they are depicted having an incestuous relationship. I explain it in the note at the beginning of the chapter, but basically for me familial love is something completely different for romantic/sexual love, and the two can't be compared or confused with each other. Of course (I think is obvious but better be safe than sorry) I do not support incest in real life and I do not want to romanticize it in any way, the only reason I'm writing about is because is a fictional scenario and because my stories are so out of this world and "cartoony" that honestly something like that could probably never happen.
So, that being said, why am I an hypocrite and write incest stories between fictional made up adults while saying I don't like it? Because I created them to be this way. Rex is messed up, he is in no way a "normal" character: he never had a sane relationship with his family, so he never formed that bond of familial love with them, and vice versa the other never saw him as someone actually related to them. Because his situation is so different and his feeling are so complicated I was able to write this chapter, and others still on this line (you want a real incest-fest? Go read ch 28 of this story, "Family beach fun", that is really messed up XP). Rex is supposed to have this feeling that are not of familial love but of sexual attraction towards the members of his family, and because of this I have no problem writing him this way.
Anyway, rant aside, let's talk story, yay! I like how I wrote it. For once I tried to be more touchy feely with a major hurt/comfort vibe. Still there is a lot of sex and I like how I handled it.
Anyway I'm currently having Rex/Mike brainrot (and just Rex/Mike brainrot) and, for some reason, I want to write more stuff about these two, and by that I mean a lot of chapters with just Mike and Rex being dumbasses in love, and of course I can't because "Rex new life" has its own schedule and has to be balanced with the characters in it. Soooooo... I will probably publish a short long/one shot collection with some prompts that will be just Rex/Mike.
What do you think of this idea? Yay or nay? I would probably take some prompts from around Tumblr and such and just publish them.
Wish me luck not to be banned here in doing so, and enjoy this chapter, see ya dudes!!!!!
*****
CHAPTER SUMMARY: The time has finally come for Rex to confront his brother. Will things between the two finally be explained? Will they get their closure? Or is the gap between them so deep that it can never be bridged?

WAIT YOU'RE FICTO TOO!?!? (saw your tags) (has also only ever been attracted to fictional characters)
Ye! o/ Aromantic/Aegofictosexual! (Aegosexual + Fictosexual)
(For anyone that doesn't know, that means I'm only attracted to fictional characters, and only when I'm not involved)
#ask#luesmainblog#simplified to aroace or aroaspec when it doesn't seem like a good time to get into All That#there were Signs growing up but i still spent like. 20yrs of my life thinking i was straight#(despite the fact that i was definitely attracted to both male and female characters)#other people got the “oh i must be bisexual” asexuality experience i got the “eh everyone's ugly and mean” experience#strangely im fine with 2nd person pov stories but NOT with anything else that tries to close the distance between me and it#it was different when i was younger though#i was REALLY into shipping myself with my favorite characters when i was still in high school#for others that's how they'll be forever because that's how their sexuality works#for me it faded once i got friends that didnt make me feel deeply unwanted#i dont like being perceived as Attractive or Sexually/Romantically Desirable personally#so anything that tries to tell me i am or treat me like i'm part of the situation tends to give me a really bad feeling of repulsion#funnily enough i am very much attracted to my own body type and features in fiction#and making characters that way does give me a boost of confidence in how i look

Would it be so wrong if I said the Mantises from Khrysalis are kinda sexy
#bugs in real life can die but fictionally? i am a fan#i think the fact that they are all. women (except for those older mantus dudes i think??). is also very sexy of them.#i may be wrong. i could have definitely completely blocked out any other male mantises from my brain.#oki says a thing

character development moment: i was very nearly overcome with a rare weakness to FOMO as literally all of my irl friends have been regularly playing that one trendy roblox fashion game together and i got as far as googling roblox with half-intent to finally download it and was only stopped when i looked up the game on twitter, immediately remembered that it's a game for children that a bunch of grown ass adults have fully taken over and made increasingly toxic for some reason, and also tbh just doesn't even look that fun or good in general and snapped out of it like Oh I'm Too Old For This
#witnessed the irl friends play a game the other day and one of the themes was roaring 20s. there is not a single flapper dress in that game#not even the cute lil bob that was popular back then. there was literally no possible way to be on theme#how are u gonna dress as the roaring 20s without a flapper dress. without a cute lil bob. without a CIGARETTE HOLDER !!!#its all like. 2010s trendy white woman instagram clothes/hair im not even exaggerating#every look i've seen. even the good more creative ones. has been so fucking boring#i don't care how cunty you made that fictional character they still have the same face and body type as everyone else#nothing is interesting not even the facial expressions can change u can't even CROSSDRESS whats the fucking POINTTTT#u cant put male hairstyles on female avatars and u cant put female hairstyles on male avatars. they have the same stupid lego head shape#its like if somebody took all of my character design pet peeves and dumped it all into one game that got insanely popular for no reason#i already don't like roblox in general for how exploitative it tends to be of Literal Children ntm how resource intensive it is on computer#but. aaoughhhhhh how tf do i get my friends to have better taste thyis shit is killing me#we have a whole minecraft realm and they're playing pay to win picrew together instead. explodes

when ppl say it's wrong to read cory/shawn as queer bc guys should be able to have close friendships without being gay
which like
why can't it be both?
but also mainly for me i read them as queer partly bc of their obvious love but also bc of how their relationship is kinda dysfunctional. not that they have to be dysfunctional to be gay. but just their characters have so much comphet. and it is often played for laughs but cory and shawn actually do not have the ideal friendship every likes to paint it as. not that their love is less, but if you really watch every ep you see how many episodes they talk about not having other friends and actually not being allowed to have other friends. cory especially seems to be extremely jealous of shawn having other friends. and this would be seen as a normal friendship plot that we see a lot in media. except in this show it's never actually framed as bad or something to mature past but actually excepted as good and just the way cory and shawn are and how close of friends they are.
#anyway idk if this makes sense just rambly thoughts#lord i was born a ramblin dan#boy meets world#shory#idk i had more thoughts on this but i lost my train of thought a bit#but you cant just say characters shouldn't be read as gay bc of their friendship like gay people cant be friends#or its lesser to be gay than be hetro friends#also this excuse is used so much bc There Are Actually A Lot of Male Friendships In Media That's All Media IS.#how many Canon gay relationships can you name?#how many started as friends? bc thats a thing that happens?#How many are the Main Realtionship im the show?#but also dont just lump all fictional friendships in together. some have different dynamics than others.#also as an older in the closet person i love them Because of their comphet. i love characters with issues and problems that aren't#'Good Gay Rep'#i grew up with this shit and i relate to cory and shawn as gay and closeted#and like yeah alot of ppl also dont realize a lot of the writers and stuff did some of this on purpose not as queer 'baiting'#but as this show was written in the 90s and it had to be written as subtext#subtext my dearest love that ppl always get confused with baiting#things were a bit different then#a half finished thought i found in my drafts that im publishing bc why not

a lot of my older ocs were like 'trans but i didnt know that yet' ocs, and thats how i view a lot of fictional characters that r trans 2 me as well. no less trans than the next trans character just bcuz the creators dont realize it .... Yet
#the fictional characters that tend to resonate w me a lot r the ones like galo who Is Transgender the creators just#dont know that. but trans ppl do. so that doesnt make it any less true. thats how ive always viewed it#if a character i like is trans then they r trans there is no debate abt it. theres just other ppl not knowing#ppl irl dont know im trans either and i like it that way but im still trans#also 2 clarify- this isnt to say like chars in popular media made 2 b intentionally trans dont matter 2 me#just unfortunately trans men in popular media r few and also tend to not look or behave like me or resonate w me in a 'gender' way#they dont rly make masc adult trans men? we have to do it ourselves#but anyway growing up i recognized male characters i loved and related 2 as being a boy like me#so it does not take me having to bend my mind at all to just easily b like that dudes trans for fucking realsies#as legit to me as anything else

I swear to every deity in existence, if Makima. MAKIMA. Complex genuinely terrifying villain of all time loses to fucking...Look. You know. I will actually throw hands.
#breaking my 'only talk about 2 or 3 neutral dn opinions on my blog' rule because at a certain point I simply cannot let this happen anymore#I am in fact the number one hater of this character. most of the time if I am talking about 'male fictional character I hate' I am talking#about him. just so we are COMPLETELY clear.#maybe. Idk. I wrote a fucking song for kobeni maybe I have to write one for makima too maybe we're just gonna go through the#whole cast lmao#tbh. in terms of effectiveness and complexity...most villains WANT what makima has#and I don't mean that in a like 'she's cool' kind of way or even an 'I like her' kind of way. (she did Too Many Things to too many other#characters I love for me to ever say that I ''''like'''' her). I mean in the sense of 'she fits her role in the story so well in a way that#other villainous characters of varying genders across a lot of different types of media can't quite match'#and like...idk there's 'the creator kept this character alive because of Plot Armor' and there's...what happens with makima. iykyk.#anyway the tldr is that people should just watch/read csm#and then scream about all the female characters with me :)#mel screams about fictional ladies again

Yes, I do think that society downplays the importance of platonic and social connections for men. No, I do not think m/m shipping is the problem here. Like not even remotely.
#random thoughts#shipping#men#slash#m/m#i have my critiques of shiping culture#and i really think it can be a problem especially when it overwhelms all other discussion around a piece of media!#but it is not what's responsible for the social isolation of men#why do i only see the social isolation of men brought up when people are like slash bad#m/m is depicted less in fiction than platonic male friendships the problem is not that people ship m/m sometimes#yes internalized homophobia and fear of being seen as gay is part of the problem but THAT IS NOT CAUSED BY SHIPPING#this is not to say shipping is always good and healthy it's just not the problem here

A/n: For all my weird tumblr smut AO3 girls Synopsis: No one expects the weird girl to have such a good pussy. Warnings: Male whimpering, squirting, pussy drunk men, pervert y/n, unprotected sex
No one suspects the weird girl to be a perverted fiend.
No one suspects the weird girl who reads AO3 and Tumblr on the bus and has key chains of their favorite chibi anime guy. No one suspects the girl who fumbles over their words during a presentation, the girl who goes to classes in sweaters and sweatpants, the girl who spends her time daydreaming about fictional scenarios. No one suspects the girl who always seems shy and sweet, only to have a secret stash of explicit fanfiction hidden on her phone, the kind that would make even the most confident person turn red.
And of course, no one expects the weird girl to have such good pussy.
So when the confident, smooth-talking guy gets you in his bedroom, how the hell is it possible that he is trembling from pleasure just from slipping his tip in?
"Fuck, I c-can’t—" he groans, his voice breaking as he stumbles over the words. His usual cool demeanor is completely shattered, replaced with breathless gasps and desperate sounds. His head is thrown back, neck taut, and his eyes are screwed shut like he’s trying to hold onto every ounce of composure, terrified that if he opens them, the mind-numbing pleasure coursing through him will slip away. Every time your pussy squeezes around his aching dick his body trembles uncontrollably, muscles tensing and relaxing in waves as he tries to keep himself together.
"Look at me," you coo, your voice steady despite the pounding of your own heart. You may be practically a virgin, but you're by no means an idiot. Hours of reading smut, scrolling through Twitter porn threads, and indulging in endless fantasies have taught you more than you'd ever admit. You've spent too many nights alone, lost in stories and scenes where you imagined yourself in control, learning every filthy detail in your mind until it felt like second nature. So now, laying here with him unraveling over you, you're anything but inexperienced.
He locks eyes with you, big and desperate and you cup his perfect face with trembling hands.
"You're mine tonight ok?" you whisper, bringing him in just enough for your breath to tickle his lips, your voice low and dripping with confidence you didn't know you had. "Every sound, every breath—your mine."
"F-fuck, y-yeah I'm yours" he groans, accentuating his words with a sharp thrust right into your cervix, knocking the wind out of you.
"Mmm!" You cry. It’s painful, but in the pain is so much pleasure. He presses his forehead against yours as he slides in and out of you, gripping the sheets with his supporting hand as your hot, wet entrance swallows his cock. Instinctively, you're cunt squeezed around the foreign intrusion, trying to push it out, making him let out a low groan of his own as he thrusts even deeper into you.
“Y/n I-I can feel you doing it to me,” he says hoarsely.
His fingers gently press into the skin of your hip, guiding and steadying you as he pulls back and thrusts into you. The sudden friction and collision with your G-spot makes your brain go fuzzy. Ticklish pleasure courses through your veins and you immediately throw your head back against the wall as he rams into you.
"Hnghh, s-so good~~" You whine. It was dizzying, the curvature of his dick digging itself against your g-spot, scraping against your vaginal walls every time he backed his hips up.
Simultaneously, his other hand sought yours, finding it with a purposeful tenderness. His fingers intertwined with yours, locking them together in a grip that was both a clasp and a caress.
"Were we doing it like this in your head baby?" He grunts, his Adam apple bobs as he groans from the pleasure of how fucking heavenly your pussy feels. "Because this is how we were doing it in mine." He felt good? Try euphoric. How could it be possible that pussy feels this good?
You can't even open your mouth to respond. The friction of his dick against your walls is just too good and as his pace intensified, a dizzying warmth spread through you, filling every corner of your being with a euphoric haze. The sensation of being completely enveloped, utterly connected, sent electric flesh arrows of pleasure through your body, making your eyes flutter and roll back slightly in sheer bliss. Every motion he makes, every time his fat tip collides with your cervix, leaves behind a trail of sparkling heat that seems to light you from within.
And of course, no one expects the weird girl to be a squirter.
You don't know whats happening and you don't have enough to warn him. Release washed over you in an all-encompassing wave, radiating out from your core to the very tips of your fingers and toes. It swept through you like a storm, leaving a trail of starbursts in its wake. Your body arched instinctively, clinging to him as the wave crested, then gently, slowly, began to ebb.
He stills his motion and watches through wide eyes as clear liquid sprays onto his abdomen and you tremble and moan. As you floated back down from the heights of bliss, your breath came easier, softer, the lingering aftershocks of pleasure pulsing gently through you.
"Why did you stop?" You whisper.
Sukuna, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, Toji Fushiguro

what the fuck did I just watch 😭😭😭
#On The Line (2022)#like HUH????#Mel. I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this sweetie. YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS#I'm also embarrassed that I got so invested#I naively thought I could multitask studying & watching a movie at the same time#after all my roommate and I did successfully have an SVU marathon last night and I accomplished some stuff#on tonight's SVU binge I did not but I digress#so she went to bed because she has a much healthier sleep schedule than I do#so I'm like “oh haha I'll put on Netflix in the background”#No. my dumbass picks a thriller#I don't even want to say anything about the film itself in case someone wants to watch it#bc the plot is actually compelling if you ignore some other major aspects of the film#and when I say major aspects I mean like the setting itself#also decisions made by the characters?? like HUH????????#I know it's a film. I know it's fiction.#but also#be so fucking for real right now#I feel like that's 1 hour and 44 minutes of my life that I may never get back#but I feel like this can be a good conversation starter with my middle aged male relatives

I got this comment on a story from my Other AO3 Account this morning.
(Info redacted because I prefer keeping these accounts separate but no one follows me on the side blog I have for that account.)
The story was posted almost a year ago and is relatively “popular” by my average statistics even though it has tropes and themes that are big turnoffs for a lot of people (hence separate accounts). This popularity is undoubtedly because it’s a Marvel Loki story and that fandom is massive.
So there is obviously an algorithm or a bot scrubbing ao3 statistics and leaving this comment on fics that meet a certain metric with the main character of the fic inserted into the comment.
I had a little time to kill this morning so I decided to investigate further. And y’all this is so predatory. Come on this journey with me. It made me mad. It may make you mad.
First, if you go to Webnovel’s website, you HAVE to choose between male lead or female lead stories before you can go any further. WTF?
And that’s weird, but this gets so much worse. This is basically a pay-to-read site that has different subscription models. Which… okay BUT! The authors don’t get paid! Look at that comment again. They’re promising a supportive and nurturing community, but zero monetary compensation. It’s basically, “post your stuff here so we can get paid and you can get… nice vibes?” I mean look at this Orwellian writing:
Using the phrase “pay-to-read model” in the same sentence as “qualitative changes in lifestyles for authors” deliberately makes you think that you can get paid and maybe even make a living on this website. But that’s not actually what it says and authors will not receive one red cent.
Oh but wait, the worst is still to come. In case this breaks containment (which I kind of hope it does) this is where I mention that I’m a lawyer in the US.
I don’t do intellectual property or copyright law but I do read and write contracts for a living. So I went to look at their terms of service. It was fun!
Highlights the first, in which Webnovel gets a license to do basically whatever they want with content you post on their site. This is how they get to be paid for people reading authors’ writing without paying them anything.
Highlights the second, in which Webnovel takes no responsibility for illegally profiting off of fan fic. This all says that the writer is 100% responsible for everything the writer posts (even though only Webnovel is making money from it).
Highlights the third which say that by posting, the author is representing that they have the legal right to use and to let Webnovel use the content according to these terms. So if a writer posts fan fiction and Webnovel makes money from people reading the fan fiction, and the House of the Mouse catches wise, these sections say that that’s ALL on the writer.
So that’s a little skeevy to start off with but the thing that is seriously shitty and made me make this post was that these assholes are coming to ao3. They are actively recruiting people in comments on their fan fiction. And they are saying they are big fans of the character you’re writing about and that they share your interests.
They are recruiting fan fiction writers and giving every impression that you can make money from posting fan fiction on their site and hiding the fact that you absolutely cannot but they can make money off of you while you try, deep in their terms of service which no one but a lawyer who writes fan fic and has some time to kill will read.
I see posts on here regularly from people who don’t understand how this stuff works, don’t understand that they (and others) can not legally make a financial profit from fan fiction. And there are tons of people who will not take the time to dig into the details.
Don’t deal with these bastards. Fuck Webnovel.
