#also i have A LOT of pet peeves with how ppl tag their inserts on AO3

[babblingeccentric]

If we're talking tag manners I have one thing to say for Tumblr writers- only tag an x reader as "(character) x reader" if the story contains or sets up a romantic relationship btwn (character) and reader. I see people tagging sometimes for every character the reader interacts with and that's not what the tag means and is technically tag spam.

AO3 differentiates platonic relationships by using an ampersand so if the story is about them being siblings or bffs or whatever it would be (character) & reader. It hasn't really spread over here but platonic reader inserts aren't really common enough to cause problems

ALSO tagging your works with characters or relationships that are clearly not in it IS SPAM and you WILL get reported for it. The tag system is one of the things that makes Tumblr the site that it is, don't ruin it.

[twipsai]

I'm a very confused follower and this is probably a stupid question, do you hate $natcher?? [I spell it like that bc I think you've spelt it like that?] This isn't accusing or anything I'm just genuinely confused from your posts!! If you'd rather answer it privately I will dm you!

no problem bro! i think its nice to address this actually! :D so first of all, i spell it like that bc tumblr tagging system SUCKS and i dont want negativity to show up in main tags, even if its satire (plus i have a tag for ppl to block my little joke rambles)

and for the actual question, nope! i think hes a fine character, but i also kinda see him like a brother with my semi-self insert, so i like to tease him a lot >:)c

i also kinda get a lil bit sick of seeing him everywhere like $ubcon is the only place in the game, but thats just a pet peeve that i do see getting better everyday, and also a deep rooted problem with how people view art on this site which i could talk about for hours. just know that whenever i "complain" about $natcher, i usually either had played death wish or im mad about having to search for hours for content i want to see.

thanks for asking this, ive kinda wanted an opportunity talk about it, so its not a stupid question at all! /gen

RP EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): ok time to make myself sound old. i began rping in 2006 :)))))))))) 

PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: OKAY we BEGAN on proboards !! this was my main squeeze for a long time with a lil smidge of invisionfree thrown in there. then i moved to tumblr rp and now a mix of that with discord rp. i have never done fb/twitter etc bc they scare me it feels too close to real life

BEST EXPERIENCE: during my final year of uni i was in a couple of reeeeally great rps and i had y’know, no responsibilities so i used to just rp all of the crazy hours and write all of these incredible plots and i LOVED it. i also had a really solid crew of rp partners about two years ago and that was a really wonderful summer of rp. however, my current set up is great and i love all of the ppl i’m currently writing with too ! 

RP PET PEEVES/DEALBREAKERS: ok so i haaaaate when someone replies and just like, parrots everything from your reply and gives you nothing new to go on. like i know the struggle of writing reserved and shy characters but please give me something to work off in your reply. i also hate when characters get to the like ‘end game’ relationship point and lose all definition of their personality beyond being super in love. yuck. i also find it genuinely very hard to write with people who post lots of like, vague ooc passive aggressive posts bc my anxiety goes WOOOOOP and like i don’t have the emotional energy for that. 

muse preferences

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: god i LOVE ANGST but also i love some filthy shit AND fluffy stuff so honestly like why choose??? all is good pls a good plot has all in equal measure

PLOTS OR MEMES: all good memes turn in to plots bc i have no chill :)))))

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: currently??? short but like when i have the head space there is nothing better than getting elbow deep in a reply

BEST TIME TO WRITE:��weekends or between 7-9 in the evening 

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): are you asking me if i self insert???? because duh don’t we all. my muses are all like lil smidges of me but none of them are actually fully like me because i’m boring AF and would be a shit character

NAME:  amber! uvu 

PRONOUNS: she/her

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: i like discord a lot because IMs sorta feel very much like prison, however, if people would like to communicate from there i don’t mind! also i use twitter as both a dumping ground for ocs, loz, inane shit, and public chat room tbh tbh. 

NAME OF MUSE(s): zelda, zelda, and hilda... also my oc. but since we’re on here, it’s just princess zelda ;v;

RP EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): I DIDN’T FIND OUT ABOUT RPING UNTIL I WAS 18-19 MEANWHILE THERE ARE PPL WHO HAVE BEEN IN THIS GAME SINCE AGE ONE AND A HALF DSHFJKBHJB, so like 5-6 years-ish. i’ve been on interwebs since 2007,,,, i been knew nothing about RP until way later hweoh,,,, i feel out of the loop half the time orz i think i saw youtube rpers tho ;;;;; on vocaliod videos ;;;

PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: which leads to this! i only used tumblr but have tried twitter, i also adore Discord rp uvu and i... hm... that’s about it!

EXPERIENCE: like anything and anywhere you go, you’ll have good times and bad times. i haven’t had too many bad experiences, minor annoyances here and there for sure but nothing that’s majorly bad to my knowledge. i think, i mostly had good experiences because since taking up this hobby i mostly remember fun times in making friends ;v; gross cheesy. i need to get back to mean me. 

RP PET PEEVES/DEALBREAKERS: miscommunication. it’s hard to read text sometimes because certain things come across different to some people so it’s nice to clarify things up a bit. i also hate tip-toeing around things, just be upfront about it and talk things out with others when it comes to these things. of course insert: breaking rules. i don’t like blown up icons unless it’s something mobile did in that case totally understand... uncut post however? nah.

MUSE PREFERENCES

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: FLUFF FUCKING KILLS ME AND I HATE IT SO MUCH. give me twenty please. i love fluff but god damn it fucking destroys my heart and i become a puddle of goo. angst is fun but i’m someone who likes things that’s more bittersweet. angst just for the sake of it with no resolve is something i’m not a huge fan off and try to avoid. smut well,,,, i don’t mind writing it depending on which muse it is AND who i write it with but it’s very, very, very rare and all on discord. it’s hard to write smut without it sounding like it’s from bad sex awards, fade to black is the best bet ;;;; 

PLOTS OR MEMES: I LIKE BOTH, both are good. 

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: mo can i just say that i feel you on the ADHD because god mood, it takes me a year to respond to long threads. i’m not even kidding. ask some mutuals. that said i do love long threads even if it takes me a bit but short quick ones are fun too! i’m in the middle range. it’s very good compromise between my need to write and hell brain letting me write without me having to smack it with a stick. 

BEST TIME TO WRITE: OH SHEESH, whenever i can find the time these days. i’m usually out and about, or at work. 

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S):  No. I DON’T THINK SO AT LEAST DNAJKBFHJ, any muse i play as i can’t say have my traits. maybe when it comes to ocs where i base them off of experiences either from myself or friends or from people watching, but not really when it comes to canon characters. i do find myself attached to them though because i love how they are written... but... this zel is mostly headcanon based because there’s so little we know about her so princess zel is a bit of a rare case here haha! so no, i’m not cheery nor am i cryptid. i’m just stupid pft, my mind too big to not stan.

[yibuo]

love your hot takes! was wondering if you could give your two cents on shipping/rpf in relation to idol culture, how more often than not these pairings are subtly if not overtly used as a marketing tool etc. I’m all for freedom of expression / fandom consumption as long as the fourth wall is respected but given recent developments in c-ent I feel like we’re treading on thinner and thinner ice....

EDIT you asked for my two cents and i gave u my entire bank account. nice

ok i wasn’t sure how to answer this tbh without possibly getting attacked but i have a pretty strong opinion of rpf/shipping and how people take it to the extremes and i talked to oomf who validated me so here i go

tldr i mean people can take part in shipping/rpf if they want to and if they keep it lowkey but there’s a boundary as to how far shipping/rpf can go and there are too many instances of where people insert rpf/shipping in places that are unacceptable and this goes for all real ppl pairings 

i’m not meaning to offend anyone, and in no way are my opinions discriminatory, but also, if you’re someone who’s gonna make HUGE stretches regarding to celebrities and push your favorite ships in totally unrelated things, maybe you should step back and think about how your actions can affect your favorite people

and i’m totally stealing this from oomf, but here’s a thought:  if you ask yourself  'if i met this person irl, would i feel embarassed if they looked me in the eyes and i read this out loud to them' and if the answer is 'i would look like a pervert stalker' then like........maybe don't do what you’re doing?  

pls respect ur faves is all n don’t make them uncomfortable ! ! and also pls don’t fetishize same sex relationships !

anyway

ok so let me start by saying i’m a seventeen stan and when i was 15-16 y/o i shipped svt members, read rpf, etc, but never really was into overanalyzing every touch or gaze. i obviously enjoyed my favorite pairings interact and i read romantic fics about them. i wasn’t really into reading smut because for me, personally, fics using the members’ names and personalities even in au kinda made smut feel like visualizing the members in a sexual context and i felt like i was crossing a fan boundary, like, would my idol be comfortable with me seeing them in a sexual context with another member they tell us they consider as friends/brothers/sisters? or just in general, would they be comfortable with me thinking of them sexually? but hey, if it was a good fic i would just skip over the smut because good fics are good fics. now idk if it’s because i’m older, or other changes? i don’t really do romantic shipping or read rpf, i stick to reading fics about fictional characters because that’s what makes me comfortable (like if i ever rb two members’ interactions on my main, i stick to just tagging the members instead of their ship name, same goes on here for real people) and i still very much am uncomfortable w/ real people smut literature and art, but that’s just me

ok you see shipping a lot in idol culture because idols are in groups and members spend a good 90% of their time together, so whatever cute interactions you see  kinda lead to people shipping two (or more ig) members. i never really thought about idol shipping culture from a marketing perspective, so i asked some of my friends, and one of them made a really good point about how some ships are more popular than others, and these interactions on shows and stuff might be a strategic/marketing tactic to lure in new fans because of the “ships” being cute. i don’t know how true this actually is, but it kinda made sense. for example, in svt, mingyu x wonwoo is a super popular ship, compared to ships like the8 x vernon which no one ever talks about, even though we know that all the members love each other equally and wholeheartedly. so yeah, there probably is a subtle pushing of certain ships in order to gain momentum in attracting more fans to the group

also i’m gonna be using wonwoo and mingyu as examples but i’m not targetting anyone or anything, just hypothetical situations w/ an idol ship that i noticed to affect the members because how out-of-control SOME stans are

so as i said in my tldr, i don’t really mind romantic shipping, as long as it’s 1) lowkey 2) not pushed in places that it doesn’t belong and 3) not mentioned among the members

keeping it lowkey- pushing ships in everyone’s faces gets annoying. sometimes fans just want to enjoy idols’ content as they give it to us and frankly, it’s a little offputting when you’re trying to watch something or enjoy something and hoards of fans are fangirling over a gaze or a touch between 2 members. keep it on your private acct, or in a group chat, not in the youtube comment section of the video. but still, men and women are allowed to touch each other and show affection without it being romantic, and i feel like shipping culture kinda invalidates the platonic relationship. like unless a pairing is confirmed to be dating, why even bother with overanalyzing these gazes or touches. and no, it’s not homophobic for non-rpf fans to be annoyed, because sometimes fans just want to see the members as they portray themselves to be rather than finding a deeper (and unconfirmed) meaning behind every small thing. fans being like “bro it’s just the touch of two hands it’s not that deep” is not the same thing as fans going “ewww i’m’ not supporting them if they’re not straight” . and sometimes i feel like people try to twist non-rpfers words and call them homophobic if they’re not for shipping when sometimes people don’t wanna romantically visualize 2 people if they’re an unconfirmed couple. how can you use lgbt struggles, which is an issue in society, to fight against people who simply don’t do rpf?? how are you use that as a weapon and for what ??? (also a good amount of people who do this are lgbt fetishizers who aren’t lgbt themselves bye i said it) why can’t we all jus be friends dudes

ok but if you’re against your idols dating someone of the same gender, that’s homophobic and you needa get that checked

but that’s different from treating two members as friends rather than bfs

but this being lowkey concept applies to any pairing, straight or gay, just keep it lowkey dudes. (like for ex we see yibo and meng meiqi shippers, which also doesn’t make sense to me because it’s based off of literal crumbs but ok) it’s ok to be rpfer or non-rpfer as long as you’re respecting the idols and keeping their best interests in mind

respect ur faves pls

not pushed in places that it doesn’t belong- people need to stop bringing up ships and pairings in randomass places. for example, if wonwoo is doing a interview, with mingyu being nowhere in sight, and he’s talking about his hobbies and interests without ever mentioning mingyu, what’s the need to bring up mingyu?? people do it and it’s so... weird? like wonwoo can do things without being constantly associated mingyu? one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when shippers make these ships such a HUGE part of a members’ identitiy, when the members are doing so much w/ their lives? like no, not every move wonwoo makes, and every breath he takes is related to mingyu, but people still wanna have the audacity to mention mingyu in something completely unrelated? what’s your point?

RESPECT UR FAVES

not mentioned among the members in an uncomfy manner- like if you’re interacting with a real person, why are you gonna bring up a ship they’re included in when you have so many other things to talk about?? like ok it’s one thing to ask someone on a livestream “hey this event you guys did on xxxx show was funny, what’s the tea behind that” but it’s not okay to just mention a ship with no relation and no context to the situation. again, this counts as rpf-ers and shippers attributing a single ship to an idol’s identity much more than what it actually counts as. no, wonwoo is not 70% made of mingyu lover and vice versa. we actually saw this between mingyu and wonwoo as people kept pushing meanie (the ship) to their faces, and we saw (and  still see) a much more decreased amount of interaction between them compared to them predebut, because shippers couldn’t stay in their lane. so yes, out-of-control shipping DOES affect idols and can be harmful to their relationships if you don’t control it

^ so y’all see why i feel so strongly about this, because it literally can affect these idols’ relationships on screen

JUST RESPECT UR FAVES

again, this applies for any pairing of any sexuality, i’m just using wonwoo x mingyu as an example because it’s something i saw when i was into rpf. i love both mingyu and wonwoo and they are wholesome together. i have friends who ship them and i’m completely ok with that because they do it without posing any harm to the members, but some people just need to take a chill pill and a seat and calm down ????

so i completely understand that shipping/rpf serves as a creative outlet for lgbt+ folks and that’s completely fine, inspiration, love, cool cool cool. just don’t be so pushy about small interactions especially directly to idols. and as for rpf-ers, don’t let rpf give you a reason to start fetishizing same-sex relationships, that shits weird and problematic...pls

again, if you ask yourself  'if i met this person irl, would i feel embarassed if they looked me in the eyes and i read this out loud to them' and if the answer is 'i would look like a pervert stalker' then like........maybe don't do what you’re doing?  

lol so this is why i’m much more comfortable w/ fictional shipping, because these people don’t exist in the real world and don’t have actual lives and relationships to protect 

just respect ur faves omg and we’ll be fine

“given recent developments in c-ent” and me being a yibo stan and you sending me this strongly leads me to believe you’re referring to out of control bjyx cpf (yizhan shippers)  LOL

i don’t follow much c-ent besides xnine, uniq, r1se, and sometimes unine and the nine percent members, and honestly im not too into the fan culture so i dont follow ships there? so i’ll focus on. this ship

to be completely honest, shipping for idol groups makes some sense to me because idol group members are with each other most of the time, that’s literally their job

shipping actors who haven’t confirmed that they’re dating/no proof doesn’t really make sense to me at all--they work on one project together, and they’re off to their next., with or without each other . we don’t know if they keep in contact every day, much less if they’re into each other, but each to their own! my opinions and takes aren’t perfect and as long as you’re respecting your faves, it is ok~

ok so i’ll start of with saying: obviously, i love yibo. i love xiao zhan. they’re cute nd wholesome and evidently had good times together and learned a lot from each other regarding acting and being in the industry and just developing as people together. good for them, we love character development. amazing

is pushing bjyx a marketing tactic? most definitely yeah by tencent thanks tencent. i think you can see this through the amount of bts videos there are with just bjyx in comparison to other bts videos/interviews, even though there are many more important characters apart from wwx and lwj in cql, we don’t see as much side cast interactions as bjyx, and if we do, there aren’t that many w/ other cast members and yibo and xiao zhan?? relatively speaking

so yeah i think pushing this yibo x xiao zhan thing definitely was a tactic to further the momentum that wangxian was already having to attract stans, and it worked. like i LOVE watching yibo and xiao zhan bts videos because they are two goofs. love them. love my boys. love their camaraderie. and if people wanna ship, then go ship. cool! just be casual pls

i think where this becomes a problem is when people start projecting wangxian’s relationship onto yibo and xiao zhan because...the latter are real people. yibo and xiao zhan =/= wangxian !!!!!! (ok first of all yibo is a gremlin how can he be the wang in wangxian in real life)  what wyb and xz show us in videos is nowhere near what wangxian is hJKNDJNWD and i see so many people just equate the two pairings...nooo... and combining everything mxtx writes about wangxian in the novel and projecting that onto wyb and xz...i don’t think that’s the move dudes they have their own lives they’re not wangxian

my BIGGEST pet peeve is when people wholly credit wyb’s development as an actor and as a person to xz and vice versa. i cannot tell you how many times i see posts saying “wyb brought xz out of his shell” and vice versa and things like “xz looks like he’s having much more fun than he is when he’s with xnine, they’re soulmates” and etc

both wyb and xz have had years of industry experience before getting to know each other. they’ve gone through some of the lowest points of their careers before even getting to know each other well, and they’ve both found Their People in the industry before finding each other. to say that wyb brought xz out of his shell in a summer’s worth of filming based on some bts videos is just so unfair to the bonds xz has made with his other colleagues and xnine  members and the accomplishments he’s had before cql. same with wyb and his career prior to cql. and his uniq members, his ttxs bros, and all his other colleagues. these 2 have gone through some shit with their idol groups and it’s just not fair for cpfs to erase the significance of their career prior to cql to support and find a leverage for their shipping. i’m not saying all cpfs do this, but there is  a Good Amount That Do and it pisses fans like me off

they are not each others saviours bye

also  “xz looks like he’s having much more fun than he is when he’s with xnine, they’re soulmates”, if you guys ever watch xnine videos, you’ll know that xnine is Loud. with members like wu jiacheng and peng chuyue being so loud and extroverted, it kinda makes xiao zhan relatively quieter. but he’s still a gremlin and troublemaker and it’s not like he isn’t having fun. he’s just louder w/ yibo because yibo is more introverted than xz. relationship dynamics are relative to the relationship cmon people !!!! this is basic knowledge !!!! anyway that was a side tangent but ya

but ya my point is, wyb and xz have their own careers and they’re doing their own things now, and it’s unnecessary to bring up xz in an unrelated wyb post/article and vice versa, and it’s just so so unnecessary to link them in everything??? like i heard that cpfs prevented xz from keeping his nomination for an award because yibo wasn’t nominated so xz lost the nomination ./rolls eyes

anyway my point being, if you wanna ship them then go ahead! just do it normally and don’t bring up the ship in unrelated places (like other dramas, tv shows, etc where they’re not together), don’t spam them with bjyx related things, don’t make weird stretches/connections?? the other day on twt i saw a twt about uniq wenhan’s drama, where he was being referred to as xiao zhan (little zhan) in the drama (different  “xiao” and “zhan” characters than actor xz’s name) and i saw cpfs go “omg theYRE CALLING HIM XIAO ZHAN??? IS THIS FATE OR” like no it isnt maam it’s just a name stop reaching

ANYWAY UNNECESSARY SIDE RANTS BUT MY MAIN POINT is that people are allowed to be shippers and take part in rpf, but don’t make their identities “____’s lover”, don’t look past their current and past achievements for the sake of your ship, don’t erase their relationships with other people for the sake of your ship, stop bringing your ship into things that are only related to one person/aren’t related to your ship, stop saying creepy things about your ship (if you think the ship people would be uncomfrotable with what you say about them you probably shouldn’t be saying it)

just. respect ur faves pls no matter who they’re with ...just respect them ty

1. I know writers often talk about their favorite books, but how about your favorite movie?

Practical Magic. There are soooooooooo many that I like, but I watched that in late 2018 and decided it’s my favorite and my feelings for it haven’t diminished since my first time seeing it.

2. If your work is translated into other languages, will you buy copies in those languages? If you’re multilingual, what about languages you don’t understand?

Yes absolutely. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  

3. Describe your ideal writing environment.

Do I have one?

Okay. Quiet. Internet connection. Large table, probably wooden, that I can spread waaaaay the fuck out on. Probably a coffee shop (or adjacent), because I’m... slightly caffeine addicted. Hopefully raining outside, but then it stops when I get to go outside.

4. What is your biggest pet peeve in a book?

Predictable, not-well-developed romance. (This also applies to fanfiction) Unfortunately, this means some of the love triangles/squares/polygons in some of the otherwise-halfway-decent YA I’ve read.

5. Where do you want to be, as a writer, in twenty years?

A book published and working on another story. I would love to have written a movie, too. 

6. Do you have a soundtrack in mind for your book? If so, what is one song you’ve picked for it?

okay. OKAY. I’ve started a playlist (that I’ll probably edit haha) but I really really want to thank the lovely writeblrs that are now my mutuals who reminded me that there are fun non-writing things you can do to help you further develop the flavor of your book (woooooo, it feels so official to call it a book)

7. Would you like to have your book(s) illustrated? Why or why not? If so, what style would you prefer?

The only thing I can picture right now are some pretty maps of Chicago and London for All This Time in the endpapers (is that what the pages attached to the cover are called?).

8. Where do you sit on the slow-and-steady versus get-it-all-out-fast spectrum of first-draft writing?

hahahahahahaha NEITHER. I’m this jumpy writer where I outline the whoooooole fucking thing, and then I can pop around and write the scenes I want to and stitch them together.

9. What is your reaction when people you don’t know very well hear you’re a writer and ask what your book is about?

I often tell them about All This Time and people are like WHOA. I even had a guy I was chatting up say that I was writing the scenario “that everyone wanted written - a famous historical figure coming forward in time”.

(And I had somebody compare it to Outlander, which I take as a huge compliment.)

10. What is a genre that you haven’t written yet but would like to explore one day?

Horror. Or mystery. I feel like both of them take this sort of planning where you have to drop hints throughout and then when the Big Reveal happens people go OH SHIT because you did it well, and I’m a bit intimidated to even try that.

11. Do you often find parts of yourself or others in your characters? If so, is it intentional or accidental?

Oh, of course. A lot of my young writing was self-insert OC fanfiction, and @nonesofjune spent.... a lot of time writing a story (with sequels and several different editions, my god) that was us and then several people around us with barely-changed names and to-a-T descriptions. And superpowers, but that’s because the story was like a ripped off Maximum Ride plot. But we loved it and I love looking back at it.

Now I often write as if I were the main character - how would I react to (x)? What would I say in (y) situation? So, yeah, though I may try not to add parts of myself to the character, yeah, there are parts of me in there. 

edit: Y I K E I forgot to tag ppl. @imaghostwriter @mvcreates @hannahs-creations @mistyskii @my-desk-is-full-of-used-pens @novellaqueen @halle-is-procrastinating @minny-king @crypticsx @francestroublr @writerwhofears

T for the fanfic ask thing!!!!!

Fandom tropes I can’t stand- Hm, good question

I mean, I’m pretty good at ignoring stuff I don’t like so not many things really trigger the “can’t stand” response, with the exception of a few kinks that make me go AAAAARGH even just seeing the tag for (I have them filtered)

Here’s some pet peeves that will make me close the tab on something otherwise decent (readmore inserted so ppl can skip negativity if they want):

-For IgNoct, my preferred dynamic is “their canon relationship, but also sex”. Which means a good chunk of fic is too sappy for me. If it’s all pining and doting without their mutual snark and comraderie and exasperation with each other, you lose me. Generic pet names are also a nope for me- you CANNOT convince me that they would use “darling” and “love” every other sentence, particularly when “Noct/Highness” and “Specs/Iggy�� have so much weight and shared history behind them.

-Related, Iggy referring to anyone else as “darling”. I’ve seen a handful of fics that have him doing it as sort of a gay-coded, Freddie Mercury-esque thing and... yes I mostly hc him as gay but he doesn’t talk like that aaaaaa. Ignis’ speech patterns are something I’m picky about in general, a lot of people have him sounding like he swallowed a thesaurus in a tragic childhood accident.

-I’ve tried to read HighSpecs a few times and come across scenes where Aranea flat out asks Ignis like, "what are you, gay?” and he insists he’s definitely straight, thank you very much. It might just be an awkward attempt to acknowledge the possibility of him not being straight, but it often comes across... poorly. ALSO. Bisexuality. It’s a thing. (Does anyone know of any HighSpecs where one or both of them is bi???)

-I’m trying to think of one for Zelda/Zelink, but I haven’t read any new LoZ fic in a while and no one thing particularly stands out. I guess Sidlink is vaguely tiresome at this point because of how much there is? But I don’t hold that against anyone who ships it. I will get annoyed if a non-Zelink fic goes out of its way to torpedo Zelink.

[janiedean]

@nederys all of you guys kinda lost your shit but i don't think you're being consistent at all. you didn't go for it being misinformed or wrongly placed, just that it was "gross" bc it was "romanticizing" blabla, like if someone made a fic about ETA terrorists or whatever and i advocated censorship and asked for it not to exist. when you accept kink and RPF, you need to stand on that principle even when it's YOUR personal/national. shaming ppl into submission is the anti strategy and it doesnt actually convince anybody of anything, much literally if it's screaming in another language to the OPs. i didnt wanna reblog or anything but i was very unpleasantly surprised with how you guys handled the situation (and i say this bc i care and i know you value rationality, not to piss you off YOUR personal/national sensibility like if someone wants to write a fic 'romanticizing' tec bundy murders or a rape fantasy or whatever it's their field day just tag it properly, it's no different for a criminal organization as i see it. a piece of sexual fantasy or literary work is not a guarantee it's portrayed in an accurate way or that it's a moral endorsementj + I'll hear your argument on 'positive representation' so i'll take your word for now but it did really come of like "your evil porn is romanticizing evil irl so it should be censored". as for the bad taste etc thing - as long as the person in question doesn't find out i dont personally see the harm. other ppl getting second-handed distastefulness/offense about it is a slippery slope, bc again that quickly devolves into "ugh why you write about rape! / rpf! if you can write kink porn and you can do rpf (like i mean, what, we just tweak the hair color and the initials to make it 'fictional'?) - it follows you can write "distasteful" kink porn about rpf all you want. it's still fiction.okay in order

In order:

as I said in the other reply, people lost their shit because we’ve had this discussion for years and every time it happens SOMEONE (most likely american but not necessarily) shows yup informing us that since mafia in US english means generally organized crime and not THAT specific organized crime we need to chill and WHO CARES YOU’RE OVERREACTING. at some point there’s a limit to how much nice you can be when you’ve been trying nicely for years and people just dismiss you most likely also because you’re not poc enough to complain - again, when it happens with people who can fall into the POC definition doing this kinda stuff automatically means you’re racist, but with us it’s not even disrespectful? or recognized as potentially harmful? fine, we lost our shit, but it’s also not the first time it happens;

the point isn’t that they were making a fic about the mafia, but if we take the ETA terrorism similitude, it wasn’t ‘making a fic abut ETA’. it was, ‘we are making an RPF fic where we take a real living spanish actor who has a friend who died during an ETA bombing and we make him the commander of an ETA faction which plants a bomb in madrid’. I’d find it distasteful if it was about FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, but whatevr - it’s fictional. real people who are actually involved with those criminals on the other side? not so cool. and the fact that these people see nothing wrong with casting them as criminals for *the mafia* shows they have no idea of what they’re talking about and again, with fictional people you can try to ignore it (even if it irks me also because 90% of the time it shows a total failure of understanding the character just by casting them as mafiosi but never mind that’s my pet peeve), but real ones? who made a pro lgbt movie and are *allies* when a mafia killing actually was what kickstarted the creation of the hugest and first anti-homophobia/pro-gay lgbtq association in italy? like. that’s fucking with real people and honestly if I was the director and knew I’d feel personally slandered especially if I come from someplace where statistically everyone knows someone who’s been hurt by the mafia in the last fifty years if they weren’t themselves. like I had a friend whose father worked for the police and the antimafia division especially and lived in palermo back in the day and criminals did try to grab her out of her pre-school and they had to change cities VERY quickly after that, and I don’t even live in sicily. and she’s not even sicilian. it was twenty years ago when they planted bombs across the entire area and killed hundreds of people just in the 90s (comprehensive list). it’s not just WRITING FIC ABOUT THE MAFIA, which I could be relatively handwaving with if it was about fictional people and even then it irks me to hell and back, but real people? who make movies pro things that the mafia hates? really? and I have to hear ‘are you angry because you’re homophobes’? I don’t ask for it NOT TO EXIST, I’m asking a basic modicum of decency.

ted bundy vs mafia: ted bundy is ONE person and he’s been convicted and whatever. if someone’s personal fantasy is fucking ted bundy WHATEVER their problem. if THEY want to do the self-insert with real criminals whatever, idgi but if they’re aware of the implications whatever. the mafia is a bunch of people and they thrive on positive media representation and it’s such large scale that it fucks with this entire country on multiple levels (ad also other countries) and here you’re not using real criminals, you’re casting as criminals people who most likely have been hurt by that same organization. it’s a difference. and if you portray it as a nice organization where hey you help people bypassing the law and gay people are accepted it’s... just... not how it works.

rpf: I’m generally pro rpf as long as people don’t go to the actual real people and don’t harass them irl (which would make a lot of rpf shippers inappropriate) but like... idk if you were around in spn fandom at the time of the infamous j2 haiti fic, but if you weren’t, tldr: person sees the aftermath of the haiti earthquake on tv, thinks ‘well that’d make a perfect setting for my j2 bigbang fic’, writes an entire fic where jared and jensen go to haiti the month it happened, her artist makes art for it photoshopping those two over like... real pictures of real dead people and three betas don’t find nothing remotely cringy in this concept. the fic gets published. it gets slandered to hell and back and while I didn’t agree on assuming the author was a pre-trump (she most likely had no idea that stuff was kindaaa racist) and that she should have been educated, I’d like to presume that people would think thrice before setting a Romance Story TM on a background where when it was published people were still excavating corpses from the rubble. it’s about the same concept as the romantic mafia fic. but with the haiti fic anyone on tumblr would agree that it’s hardly appropriate, with mafia fic it’s just ‘meh shut up you’re whining’. also, while I do agree that jared and jensen, as famous people, signed up for this, too, I don’t really think using real people for this kind of thing is fair, educated or a favor to them. I get it’s all fantasy and so on, but at least use the fictional characters. I can imagine j2 wouldn’t be happy with knowing noncon fic where they’re protagonists exists, neither with the haiti fic, but the noncon is standard fandom kink and whatever and no one else is involved, the haiti fic DOES. and while the people in those pictures wouldn’t even know, if that’s what you jerk off to at least be aware that it’s not exactly tasteful. and the people mentioned had zero idea that jerking off to the *mafia* au is not tasteful and that the *mafia* is *not* random organized crime. no one would have a problem if they called them CRIMINALS or mob or whatever without using the specific mafia word, but they like it because AESTHETICS which 90% of the time aren’t even true because the godfather aesthetic is so NOT the camorra aesthetic it’s not even funny. and of course we shoudl educate people instead, too bad that if it’s about haiti they listen and if it’s about us, they don’t;

 kink: same as above but like, again, let’s always use the poor j2 guys. the j2 mafia au as above is absolutely ew to me but at least j2 are american and most likely didn’t grow up somewhere the mafia could kill their relatives or friends. guadagnino did. and whether he knows or not (HOPEFULLY HE NEVER FINDS OUT) it’s another level of disrespectful to take a guy who made a pro lgbt movie you liked and putting him in that scenario without being aware of it. and they don’t listen if you tell them. that’s the problem. I can be very tolerant, but good god at least hear people out on the subject. and if it concerns a situation that isn’t even old or a dead organization but one that’s thriving in the country still and fucks people over every day I’d like for these people to recognize that at least it’s something not cool and not just their jerk off fodder material. at this point do the GODFATHER AU, which is what they want anyway, stick with the american mafia and try to not give them positive rep, because this idea of the mafia as a cool thing plays a major role in actual mafia organization marketing themselves as a good thing and makes the work of people actually fighting them way harder. if no one thought it was cool, it wouldn’t have half the influence it has. but do I ever see mafia aus with cops or conflicted henchmen or the likes? nah. it’s all SAD ROMANTIC BACKSTORY WITH CRIMINALS. call it some other way. it’s not asking that much.

also: I am entirely down with mafia stories in media and stuff - again, I ove my sopranos and boardwalk empire and goodfellas and I actually do like the godfather when a lot of people here at this point hate it too, but none of those things make it look like it’s palatable to be in the mafia. people can jerk off to it I suppose, but at least they should be aware of that. lowering the bar, it’s why I get pissed at people passing jc as a healthy nice relationship - at least own up to your badwrong and don’t sugarcoat it. in this case they don’t even own up to the fact that it’s a real thing that hurts real people, never mind caring for the feelings of the people they’re fans of - I could jerk off to my rpf faves in anything but I’d like to know I’m not doing it to something they would loathe, and if you have to at least use the fictional characters as the jerk-off material. I mean I’d feel uncomfortable af using them as jerk-off material to something I know they as people would hate. obviously I’m pro write whatever you want, but I’m also pro ‘be aware of what you’re doing and know you’re possibly jerking off to things that are actually harmful to a lot of people and if you do and are cool with that whatever but at least try to not make it look as it’s a good thing’ while at the same time assuming that someone who tells you it’s not cool is doing it because they’re HOMOPHOBES when the mafia is the most homophobic organization in existence or close to it. we do need positive rep when it comes to mafia stories and we never get it.

like, final example: if I had seen one ‘steve rogers is a cop who wants to take down the mafia-like organization’ for every ten ‘tiny boss steve rogers and his russian henchman bucky are THE POWER COUPLE OF THE NY CRIME SCENE AND THEY KISS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AND HELP THE WEAK WHEN THE POLICE SUCKS ASS’ fics I ran into it’d be lovely, but the point is that I’ve never seen one such fic even if it’s a lot more IC for steve rogers to take down criminals than being a criminal, and if you make people notice that nicely (which we did more than once) the usual answer is ‘go fuck yourself it’s just aesthetics the mafia doesn’t hurt anyone’ when it actually did, does and will do as long as they have means to, and since this recasting of canonically good characters as *mafia* henchmen who are happy to be there and not itching to get out just really makes pass the concept that the mafia isn’t really that bad I think I/we affected people have the rights to point out that it’s already a distasteful thing that people should at least read about before assuming it’s random organized crime that can be substituted for whichever worldbuilding they like, and if they don’t care for that fine, at least avoid involving real people who actually would loathe that irl in it or, if anything, at least recognize that it’s fucked up to hell and back. and none of the people in that thread had the grace to do that.

I mean, obviously if I had to take the choice between one such fic not existing at all but censoring stuff and it existing without censoring stuff I’d pick the latter even if I absolutely don’t like it, but what irks me and the other people involved in this debate is how nonchalantly people do these recasting assuming that they’re not romanticizing the thing (which they’re doing) and then don’t listen to others when they’re pointed out that they’re doing it and they should be aware.

like, again, I think the haiti fic was a thing that no one with some salt in their brain and a basic amount of decency should have published. someone did. they got criticized for it and it sprung a lot of discussion (including comparing it with a gen kill fic set in east timor during the war which actually did it right and so no one actually thought it was exploiting a tragedy or being in bad taste) and tbh I think that when doing fic about serious things you should at least read up on that. but the point is that these people don’t listen, haven’t listened for years and most likely will keep on not listening and sorry but seeing a person from palermo who shoots movies that would make any cosa nostra boss mad being recast as a cosa nostra/mafia sicilian boss who, if compared to a, uh, real life person who died recently would deal with people seceding from this organization by ordering to kidnap their children and have them dissolved in acid at the ripe age of nine is really goddamned distateful and hearing ‘so your problem is that they’re gay is that why you’re so angry’ as a response instead of reading it and thinking ‘damn maybe that was a bit out of line’ isn’t exactly that great.

especially because again, these organization thrive on people assuming they’re less bad than they actually are and we’re not talking about stuff that happened three hundred years ago - the kid dissolved in acid happened in 1996 and it’s hardly the last time something like that happened. it’s not a general crime organization, it’s a very specific one, and I’ll be fine with people jerking off to any italian stereotype in existence while I roll my eyes and be fine with it, but at least I’d like these people to know what they’re doing. and they aren’t. and they should be. and on top of that some positive rep where the mafia people are inherently bad and the good guys want to take them down would be nice. I do get that it looks like I’m being incoherent but I’m not saying they can’t do it, I’m saying they should show a minimum of consideration, and they aren’t. then no one’s stopping them from doing it of course but just the fact that they-won’t-listen kind of says a lot. :/ and when it comes to real people and real things it’s not just fiction and you should at least be aware of that.

45. Harry potter movies or books? Books. movies are good for book movies though.

46. You can make your OTP become canon but you’ll forget that tumblr exists. will you do it? OTPs are great but I have friends on tumblr and some that I I’m having active interactions with and are expecting stuff from me. I sacrifice the OTP for my duties. *salutes*
