I'm begging dragonage fans to do a tiny bit of research about arm amputees before loudly shouting their opinions on the inquisitor returning in the next game Please lol.

Apparently, it was confirmed that the inquisitor, your chatacter from the last game (who looses their arm in the final cutscene of the DLC), will return in Veilguard as a customisable character, similar to Hawke, and they will play an active roll in the story. This has caused a lot of people to start speculating on how they'll handle the inquisitor's missing hand, with most people agreeing they'll have to have a prosthetic to be an active part of the story. Which, while I do think this is the rought bioware will take, isn't true, and a part of me really hopes they leave the inquisitor without a prosthetic arm like in the end of Tresspasser

Partially because we already have a companion with a prosthetic (neve) and it would be nice to see some diversity in how amputation is depicted in such a mainstream game, but also because you dont need a prosthetic to fight as any of the main 3 classes from inquisition.

Mage:

mages just need a staff, the game shows them as 2 handed weapons but it's totally beleiveable that it would be usable 1-handed (Neve also uses a dagger-like weapon in the trailer, you can make a "staff" in inquisition that functions more like an energy sword, and the Mage in the chargers uses a staff resembling a bow, so I think it's more that they just need a focus, the shape doesn't matter as much). A knight enchanter may struggle more 1 handed, but I wouldn't write it off as an option with some modifications made to their main staff.

Warrior:

the easiest to justify, because there are several cases of arm amputees fighting with a sword and sheild in history, and while many did have prosthetics, most weren't functional (meaning they were mainly for aesthetic purposes and didn't actually aid the fighter in any way. There were exceptions, like Götz of the iron hand, who's prosthetic was functional, but most were not). The inquisitor looses their arm just above the wrist*, so they still have most of their forearm. Most sheilds strap to the forearm, so it wouldn't take much adjustment to make that work, and you can use the other hand for the weapon. Obviously, two-handed weapons will probably be off the table, though, lol.

*edit to say, as several people pointed out, i got that wrong, my bad 😅. The inquisitors arm is actually amputated through the elbow, the screenshots i was looking at just weren't very clear and it has been a while since i got to trespasser lol. It would still entirely possible to strap a shield to the upper arm though, with some pretty minor adjustments to the existing straps on standard (as in, those used by non-disabled warriors) tall shields, so the point still stands.

Rogue

this is the one people tend to be the loudest about and the one I understand the most. Obviously duel-weilding daggers won't work (unless you give them something like the hidden blades in assassin's creed on their stump side, I guess) but using a single dagger still would, and is a perfectly reasonable approach, given that's how most irl people used daggers. Archery, though, absolutely can work without a prosthetic, despite what people think. Dragonage has crossbows, not something like Bianca (rip) but a small, single-handed crossbow is an option. Even ignoring that though, amputee archery is a thing irl, and not every arm amputee uses prosthetics for it. The bows are modified to be held in one hand and drawn with the mouth using a kind of pully-system built into the bow that I could very easily see being modified into some dwarven-style contraption in game (some double arm amputees use their feet to draw regular bows, but I don't think that would be pheasable in combat).

Like I said, I think bioware will probably go with a prosthetic, but i hope that they don't. Or at the very least, show them with it sometimes and without it other times (the same goes for Neve, no one wears their prosthetic 24/7, I'd love to see them both take them off around the home base, even just occasionally). A lot of arm amputees in particular prefer to go without one, and arm prosthetics in media are some of the worst offenders of the "perfect prosthetic"/"miracle cure prosthetic" tropes. It doesn't count as "diversity" or disability representation if it doesn't actually change anything other than the look of the chatacter, and im really, really desperate for some actually decent amputee representation in games.

i feel like we as a society need to talk more about bottom nico and top jack

🫡 no time like the present to yap about it! throwing thoughts under a read more just in case but I am here to put the thoughts pin balling around my brain for the last two days into an answer

also credit where credit is due bc it was @imperatorrrrr who set me down on this path and all I could do was tuck and roll and keep on rolling. life is a journey not a sprint etc. etc. and bottom!nico is a concept best enjoyed luxuriously like well-aged wine. or something!

OKAY so I am a subscriber to the concept of Nico needing a break. from whatever IRL captain first pick overall face of a franchise leader on both the ice and off it stuff he's got going on to whatever fantasy verse I'm chucking this poor man into, Nico needs a damn break.

Perfectly and utterly responsible Nico who's used to simply doing and uncomplainingly takes on the complicated work, the tough work, the work that nobody really wants to do needs someone to take care of him. For someone to for once tell him to get out of his hamster wheel mind and put all his trust into them and let them take care of him. There are plenty of ways you can bottom but for me this is the bottom!Nico package I would like to dole out. Someone fucking the noise out of his brain until there's blessed, uncomplicated static.

And here's Jack, who I personally like to think is a much bigger perfectionist than he'd like to admit. Who likes things his way, like this done in a specific fashion, bosses people around kind of endearingly until he gets bitchy about it and makes it clear that no, we're here to get shit done and not goof around. Top!Jack who's obsessed with Nico, who only looks up to Nico, who likes Nico and wants to take care of Nico and sees Nico run himself into the ground and goes actually, you're gonna have to take a backseat and let me drive now. Fucking the noise of out Nico's brain until he's blissed out on the bed/couch/uncomfy hotel mattress/the rug in the living room and can't think of or say anything beyond Jack, Jack, Jack is what he's aiming for.

And so what if Jack then finds himself getting all up in Nico's business? Nobody can take care of him the way he can, nobody knows Nico the way he does? There is nobody else Nico is going to willingly let them take him apart, nobody he trusts more than Jack to look after him. Because Jack is a perfectionist. And there is nobody more perfect than Nico.

(the 'get even' version of top!Jack is probably the version I vibe with the most!! also one of my favourite nsfw fics to date!! that's probably my blueprint for this dynamic hehe.)

This popped up on my YouTube the other day and not to brag, but...

Oh, why the hell not? It's a small brag, but satisfying. :->

I posted about refilling the Pilot Vpen (IRL-UK) / Varsity (US) - and adding how-to links - about 4 years and then again a year ago.

Here are the how-to links; I'm glad to see they're still active.

This one, like the video, calls for pliers and suggests removing the nib:

This one doesn't use pliers or separate the nib from the feed.

*****

Bragging aside, I'm pleased to see Brian Goulet of Goulet Pens giving this hack a higher profile (and Kudos for it, too - as a retailer it's more in his interest to sell them than refill them!)

His reason is very sound: those cheap little pens (usually about 3-to-4 local currency units whether €, $ or £) are ideal for FP-curious newbies or as no-loss-worries when travelling or no-damage-worries loaners.

They also have much better nibs than the price would suggest. Indeed that seems common to all the inexpensive Pilot pens I've tried, which includes every nib size of MR / Metropolitan.

In addition, IMO the notion of "disposable" fountain pens goes completely against the principal FP virtue, where once you've bought the pen, all you USE is the ink.

So in the US at least * buy that ink from Goulet. They've got one or two to choose from and a selection of samples in vials or sets...

( * In Ireland, with Pen Corner in Dublin now gone, I get mine from CultPens or Penstore.)

*****

I should mention, for completeness, that some "starter" fountain pens have prices not much more than these disposables and, refilled by "proper" ink cartridges / bottle-refill converters, don't involve anything like this trouble.

Just saying...

*****

It just so happens that one of my two Vpens was about due for a refill, so here are some pics of the process.

I scrubbed the markings off the barrels a long time ago so I could see what was inside, since refills mean the ink in the pen often has nothing to do with its colour-indicator cap.

First, disassembled and washed in changes of warm water until the water stays clear.

Here's the nib and feed: they've always come out of both Vpens as a single unit, with no need for pliers. Since the nibs show no desire to come off I've no desire to force the issue and maybe break something; those little ink-guide fins are delicate.

The filler is a small syringe begged from our local vet. I also use it to refill cartridges with custom ink colours (yup, I sometimes roll my own...)

Its "needle" is plastic tubing (an empty Pilot gel-pen cartridge, appropriately enough) which fits the syringe perfectly, and a pointy end made by stretching the tube over a candle-flame then snipping to length. If it gets too stained - this is nearly there - just chuck it in the recycle bin and make a new one.

The ink could have been any of the 30-odd I have at the minute, or something mixed specially, but I chose this one - a nice dark green - for the same reason @dduane had me buy it.

It's a very cute bottle... :->

*****

And here's the "disposable" pen refilled, reassembled and re-writing.

It really does have a better nib than you'd expect from a supposedly single-use pen...

*****

It sometimes takes a while for the ink to work its way by capillary action down from barrel to nib, especially if everything has been left to dry after washing. Put the cap on the pen and be patient.

Or speed things up by taking the cap off and running a thin stream of hot water over the barrel for 30 seconds or so. This increases internal pressure, forcing the ink along the section fins.

NB, this step is only for a refilled Vpen / Varsity. Don't try it with anything else, and in case it's not obvious, do this at a washbasin or sink, because You Never Know.

Now use a bit of kitchen paper or loo roll to blot the water which has got on the nib. This has a mild "suction" effect, and when you see ink on the paper (you might need to wet the nib again) your refilled pen is ready for use.

This wet-and-blot nib step can be used to encourage any stubborn fountain pen to get back in action, but the hot water trick, once again, is Vpen only.

Anyway, done.

[hollowed-theory-hall]

is there a difference between house and family?

i guess family is just one patriarch or similar who manages one family. maybe they have a family house and an elf like the Crouch or Malfoys, maybe not. their places in the Wizengamot are not hereditary, but exclusively career

and the houses have more than one family, there are a bunch of cousins with the same surname, and the patriarch manages the finances, access to the Gringotts vault, makes contracts, is the first son of the first son, have a Wizengamot seat, and so on

I mean, irl there are families with a lot of cousins with the same last name (speaking as someone whose grandfather had 6 siblings and now the family needs to rent a place if we all wanna meet up at once) so it's not about the amount of people.

How I see it is that a house is a family that just has a title (kinda like how all squares are rectangles, but not every rectangle is a square).

Like, I think it's purely a title thing and has nothing to do with accounting actually. Both families and houses could be managed in a bunch of different ways depending on the family. I mean, even with irl nobility, different members of the family usually have their own finances and homes and stuff, and it seems to be the case in HP, too. I mean, James and Lily hid in a cottage that I'm pretty sure isn't the main Potter residence. Grimmauld Place wasn't the only home owned by the Black family as I'm certain Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa, and their parents didn't live there. there just doesn't seem to be a single person managing everything for everyone. It's also kinda unrealistic and restrictive. I mean, Bellatrix seems to be well in her right to walk into the Lestrange vault and do whatever with it even though she married in. She doesn't need Rudolphus' or his father's permission to take things out of the vault.

We also see that when there isn't a clear male heir, women do get the inheritance. At the start of HBP, Dumbledore is worried Grimmauld Place went to Bellatrix since Sirius had no children:

Black family tradition decreed that the house was handed down the direct line, to the next male with the name of ‘Black. ’ Sirius was the very last of the line as his younger brother, Regulus, predeceased him and both were childless. While his will makes it perfectly plain that he wants you to have the house, it is nevertheless possible that some spell or enchantment has been set upon the place to ensure that it cannot be owned by anyone other than a pureblood.

(HBP)

There is a preference for a male heir, but when there isn't one, or the one that exists can't qualify for some reason, the eldest female is chosen.

Madam Bones seems to be the head of her family (I am convinced that Bones is a house with a Wizengamot seat) since her brothers died (Edgar and Susan's father).

Hepzibah Smith mentions how her relatives wait for her death to get the inheritance from her:

“Now,” said Hepzibah happily, taking the boxes from the elf, laying them in her lap, and preparing to open the topmost one, “I think you’ll like this, Tom. ... Oh, if my family knew I was showing you. ... They can’t wait to get their hands on this!”

(HBP)

(This shows finances outside the head of the house control or a female head of a house, though which of these cases are presented here is unclear)

Similarly, Agusta Longbottom seems to be the head of her family/house as the eldest relative, even though Uncle Algie exists. Though it is possible she is managing affairs for Neville who is the direct male line and underage for most of the series.

Also, in my headcanon, the Peverells had a Wizengamot seat, and that seat went on to the Potter family through Iolanthe later down the line since she was the last Peverell that could inherit the title, so it passed to the family she married into. The Gaunts probably had something similar happen with them (though I'm convinced William the Conquerer had a hand in that I have, like, a whole set of headcanons about the history of wizards in the UK in the Middle Ages).

I'm also pretty sure any family member could be the one sitting in the Wizengamot if the head of the family doesn't feel like doing it themselves. Like, I imagine Walburga went to Wizengamot sessions more than Orion did, for example (although, in their case, Orion's father Arcturus would've been the head of the house since he died after both of them in 1992). We also know Walburga's cousin, Araminta Meliflua Black, tried to push a bill to legalize muggle hunting, which means it's possible she was the house's Wizengamont member for a bit (or she did it from a different position in the ministry).

I don't think you'd find wizards that use the title Lord [name] (or any other noble title for that matter) either. The Wizengamot titles aren't like that, I think. We never really see anyone other than Voldemort being referred to as a lord, so I find it very unlikely. The Wizengamot titles post-Statute of Secrecy are not related to the muggle concept of lordship that is tied to land ownership so it makes sense they won't have that 'lord' title anymore.

Though I believe that the members of the Wizengamot do have a professional title: Warlock (the person managing the Wizengamot's processes is called the "Chief Warlock"). But that's a professional thing and not a noble house thing.

But these are just some of my thoughts on the subject. (I rambled more on the Wizengamot and houses in the wizarding world a bunch here, here & here)

Why are you promoting your nsfw as 16+? I’m just curious

thank you for your ask. my blog is minor friendly because 16 year olds should not be abhorred or yelled at by adults for reading smut. it's perfectly normal and i also know that a lot of writers on tumblr who label themselves as adults are actually lying about their ages.

anyway, at then end of the day i totally respect writers blogs that are mdni, i get it that they'd feel uncomfortable with kids reading their adult fiction. so i've made this blog a 'safe' space for all readers.

lot's of teenagers read/watch porn i think everyone knows that by now. and i've seen books in school libraries that contain violence and smut scenes and its perfectly fine for 16 yr olds to read that because at then end of the day it's fiction, and doesn't promote it irl (most cases) and i never ever encourage or promote for readers to do any of the things i write in real life. and obviously i don't want 13 year olds reading my smut that's a bit too young.

i absolutely do not promote for people to do what i write in real life. the things i write are purely for entertainment and just for me to express my feelings and my thoughts. it's my way of expressing myself through creativity, which is writing. lot's of artists write songs or poems about sex or drugs or murder and kids listen to that and it's not frowned upon (most of the time), soo i don't really see a difference with smut.

but at the end of the day, i always respect mdni blogs. i hope this clears things up! :)

[deep-sea-anemone]

I don't know you, I don't know who or what you ship, but my understanding of anti vs. pro means being anti vs. pro-shipping children with adults and if you think the majority opinion is that that is perfectly fine and normal, you need to go outside and touch grass.

Hi!

I assume you're referring to my addition on that poll post. I'm happy to clear a few things up.

Firstly, Proship IS the default opinion and only in recent years has this anti-ship ideology come about (I have my own theories as to why that is, but that's its own can of worms and I specifically just want to adress this ask).

Any Pro vs Anti definitions were made up and forced on proshippers (again, because pro is the default and Antis are new). As such, Antis have skewed the meaning of proship into basically stating that "all proshippers like and endorse this content, and do not discriminate between content or judge the individuals who make it". This actually goes against what proshippers believe. The entire pro-ship philosophy can essentially be boiled down to "don't like, don't read".

There is a whole hoard of fiction that grosses me out. For instance I hate yandere and non-con, and find incest and minor/adult relationships incredibly gross. I even block the "age-gap" tag because even if they are both consenting, having that much of a power imbalance wiggs me out. I've unfollowed some of my favorite artists because they've posted dynamics and scenes that I don't like (Most recently I unfollowed a very popular artist because I found out they ship Sukufushi: a ship between a 16 year old and an ancient demon possessing another 16 year old. Since it's fiction and not reality, you get these wierd nuances that could never happen in the real world and it is up to the individual to decide what they are comfortable with).

A lot of proshippers actually WILL tell you that people who like pedophilic ships or other dark content (such as rape and snuff fics) ARE gross and sick in the head and that the people who think otherwise are delusional. That doesn't mean that I don't believe that they don't have a right to create that content. I just want them to keep it away from me. Hence why I have those tags blocked on tumblr and why I filter them out when I search for fics.

The proshipper philosophy isn't that problematic ideas/ships are good and should be celebrated, and everyone certaintly doesn't believe that it is "perfectly normal", we just think that if you don't like it then, rather than berating the "freaks" who do, simply block and move on and do your best to keep them out of your thoughts, because ultimately, as disgusting as it is, there is no actual harm in it.

Secondly, Antis seem to believe that we proshippers endorse gross/dark content in real life. I assure you that that is NOT the case. And if an individual does, in fact enact their ficticious-but-irl-illegal fantasies, then that is not an example of the pro-shipper caving in and acting out their sick desires in the real world. It is the case of a REAL LIFE pedophile (or whatever) coming into fandom spaces and then interacting with or creating dark content. Is it possible that this happens? Sure. That doesn't mean that it is the default or even common, and basically every proshipper is in agreement that they are disgusting individuals. Again, this is because proshippers believe that fiction should remain fiction. Any time that make-believe turns into real-world actions, it is no longer make-believe and is now a real danger. Antis refuse to see the difference between the two.

You also mentioned touching grass which I think is a little ironic. The proshipper philosophy is that as long as fiction remains fiction, it has no bearing on the real world. It is Antis that have a hard time recognizing that playing pretend isn't the same as physical wrongdoing. Hence, why proshippers use the term "touch grass": it's meant to remind people that there is more to life than fantasy and online discourse, That it's important to log off and go "touch grass" to remind yourself that there is a difference between the tangible real-world and the imaginary scenarios that people create in their heads.

If you (and others! This isn't meant to be a callout, just informative) have difficulty comprehending this, I encourage you to consider the following scenarios:

1) Murder Mysteries: just because someone writes someone getting murdered, does not mean that they would want to see it happen,and certainly not commit it in real life.

2) BDSM: no party that willingly engages in bdsm is truly getting hurt (except to the extent that they want to be). Smacking someone during sessions does not mean that that person would ever do it in real life, and certainly wouldn't support others doing it

3) rape fantasies: this sort of goes along with bdsm, but there is a large difference between having faith that your trusted partner would never hurt you and only acts out a scenario because you ask them to, and being forced against your will to engage in harmful and/degrading sex acts.

4) Shooter Games: For a long time, people believed that playing violent video games corrupted children's moral and made them crave violence and increased the likelihood that they would want to renact that violence and turn into school shooters. There was actually a study done a while ago examining the link between video game violence and real life consequences....and they found nothing. There was no correlation between committing fictional violence and real world impact.

Fiction =/= real life.

Secondly, Antis have a tendency to invade people's inboxes and leave hate comments everywhere. Sometimes this is just saying "this is gross", but often Antis start harassment campaigns, recruiting multiple individuals to scare and intimidate people whose content they don't like (One tactic is to dump hundreds of graphic, gory images into peoples inboxes. I'm sure you can see how that would be traumatizing). Antis also have a history of doxxing people and causing this ficticious content to cause real-life harm to come to people. This is especially concerning since one of the most common things Antis like to parrot is some variation of "kill yourself".

A lot of Antis actually ARE proshippers, they just don't realize it because they get so caught up with the Anti's hate philosophy that they believe that willingly not engaging with content that they don't like (rather than harassing and condemning people who do) is what proshippers stand against. This is why some proshippers use the terms "anti-harrasment" and "pro-censorship" rather than proshippers and antishippers because it helps to clarify what the pro-shipper philosophy ACTUALLY is.

*phew* that was a long post, wasn't it? Let's both go touch grass together 🤝

[palant1r]

Not the same anon as the other ask, but I guess my question comes from the difference between personal vs political opinion on people who consume that type of media. Like if someone wants to draw some fake anime kids having sex (let’s say they do it because that’s a thing they like to imagine and not for any satire reason), I don’t think they should be put in jail or anything, but I do think that they’re a creep no matter whether they aren’t harming any real kids or not and I wouldn’t want to be friends with them. Even if they would never harm a real kid, even if their account is marked 18+ only and they rigorously check every follower and block them if they even suspect they’re a minor, I still wouldn’t want to interact with this person because if someone enjoys creating and consuming that content, that is an interest I find disgusting because just because the kids they are imagining are fake it can’t be completely de-linked from the existence of irl children or at least attraction to the traits associated solely with them

As a second, semi-unrelated question, I guess it begs the question on drawn cp (I know you don’t agree with the term but there’s not better one) of real people, like the adults who drew porn of, say, the cast of It back in 2017 when they were all between 13-16? Sure it didn’t involve making real kids do those things, but it was depictions of real kids doing sex acts and I don’t see how them not being directly involved means using their faces to make porn is okay. (Not to accuse you of supporting this, genuinely curious on where you think the distinction lies if any)

Thanks for the question! Appreciate you being thoughtful and respectful about these difficult topics, and I trust that those of you who see this ask shan't clown in the notes.

I think it's valid of you to have your own personal boundaries about who you interact with online. It's clear that you've reflected on exactly why you find this interest disgusting, which is great, we love critical dissection in this household, but I'd like to push back on that a little. I find it interesting that you specifically mentioned anime in this question. If we're talking attraction to traits associated solely with children, that's an area where anime really muddies the waters. After all, it's very easy to find anime 14 year olds with 8 packs and chiseled jawlines and anime 28 year olds, especially women, that look like children — not to mention the 1000 year old loli trope. In many cases, especially in shonen fandoms, someone who didn't know the canon ages of the characters wouldn't be able to differentiate between nsfw art of adults and minors even if they were all drawn perfectly on-model. And then of course we could get into the weeds about the distinction between children and teenagers, ages of consent in different countries, weird timeline stuff that goes on in a lot of anime and creates a bunch of technicalities (like Kusuo Saiki being physically 16 but mentally 21), how this relates to real people with disorders that make them appear prepubescent long after the age of majority, et cetera, et cetera. I definitely understand why it makes you uncomfortable, but I'm generally not as quick to judge creators of anime porn on the basis of association with childish traits simply because anime is so stylized that such associations kind of lose meaning. I mean, I'm attracted to anime men, and I experience zero attraction to people in real life, so it's easy for me to see how what someone enjoys in anime and what they're attracted to IRL could be fairly divorced. I'm not trying to argue that you're wrong, just something to think about, I guess.

As for your second question, hoo boy. The issue of explicit art of real children kinda relates to another issue i've seen people talk about, that of explicit RPF of real minors. It's a conversation that I think demands a lot of critical analysis and discussion that people are unfortunately generally not willing to have in a public forum. For the sake of my answer, I am determining that we are solely talking about minors who are under 18 in real life and are American so we don't have to deal with any age of consent debates. This includes minors who play over-18 characters but not child characters played by adult actors, or else we have to start talking about Riverdale and that's a whole other conversation.

I guess I can start with praxis. Let us assume that we all agreed that this is Wrong and Bad. Come play with me in this space without assuming anything about my position from this hypothetical. What now? What concrete actions could institutions take to prevent the existence of Wrongbadthing? Would it be morally right for people to harass those who create or enjoy Wrongbadthing? The relevant entities here would be the US government, AO3, and platforms that host art. I am against most government restrictions on art that people create, because they will inevitably be interpreted through a far broader lens than their original intention. And I don't think it would be productive for AO3 to ban certain types of explicit fic. People would just stop tagging their explicit minor RPF as such, and then we still have equal volumes of the Wrongbadthing but without the tools for people to avoid it. Not to mention it raises logistical problems with moderation and enforcement. Like, what happens when a celebrity turns 18? Are people then allowed to write explicit fic about them when they were younger than that? Maybe we can all agree that it's bad for a 30 year old author to write porn about a 13 year old actor — but what about a 15 year old author writing porn about a 16 year old actor? Any distinction between the two regarding enforcement would require some sort of age verification beyond self-identification, and that's a recipe for disaster. as for platforms like twitter that would host the kind of explicit art we're talking about, well. i think it's pretty easy to see how any sort of enforcement on a minor rpf explicit art ban would be an absolute nightmare. it's hard enough for social media sites to even enforce a porn ban. now imagine a porn ban that needs to incorporate facial recognition of a bunch of people across all different art styles — im not sure that's even possible. as for harassment — the most common punitive response on the individual level — i dont think that's justified in this case. as you've pointed out, regardless of personal feelings on the subject, this art isn't causing material harm to any real person.

I honestly don't engage with RPF communities in general — it's one of my squicks — and I'm not quite comfortable making grand moral generalizations about people I've never really interacted with. From what I understand, there are commonly accepted codes of ethics within RPF communities, and I'm not really sure how those mesh with explicit fic about real minors.

i am personally...not a fan of explicit RPF fic and art about real minors, to say the least. i think it ties into larger celebrity culture that objectifies and sexualizes children in the limelight. but like. what am i gonna do about it? doing journalism has forced me to learn how to not get outraged or disgusted about things i cant do anything about. i just don't follow those people. I'd defend their right to host their work on the platforms we use, but only because any effort ive seen proposed to restrict that work would cause more harm than good and wouldn't even be remotely effective at its stated goal. in terms of harm reduction, the best i can do is support moderation policies that allow that stuff to be clearly tagged and RPF informal ethics codes that stress a firm division between fandom and subject.

i haven't yet formed a super solid discursive framework that i'm confident in defending about this issue, so i'll just fall back on praxis lol

would love to hear from someone who's more involved in RPF than i am haha!

Sorry if it's a silly question or one you've answered before, but what's that "grade on a curve" ask referring to? I tried looking for more context in your discussion and anti tags, but I couldn't find anything, idk if that's due to Tumblr's search system.

Anyway, I personally think trying to prove anything to antis is a wasted effort in most cases. Most of them seem to be looking for reasons to get angry, possibly because they don't feel important or in control irl so they want to play the part of the hero battling the bad guys For The Greater Good online and get clout and admiration for it, so they're not generally the best people to try and have reasonable arguments with. Plus, with how many of them can be hilariously hypocritical about their interests ("you writing a physically abusive relationship in your fic proves you're unstable and dangerous, but me drawing a lot of violence and gore is perfectly okay," "we're essentially shipping the same problematic ship but I see myself as someone with good critical analysis skills and you as someone who's either stupid or evil, so it's fine for me to put it in my fanworks but not for you," etc.) I have my doubts about them reading "incest shipping isn't really a free-for-all, people have different tastes and opinions" and NOT somehow getting "people who like incest ship in THIS way are okay, but people who like incest ships in THAT way deserve all the hate they get" out of it...

On the other hand, I absolutely DO think it's important for incest shippers, proship/anti anti types, and people who just care about other people's comfort in fandom space in a healthy, non-self-centered way to be aware that we all have different preferences, boundaries, and even triggers, and that's okay! Just to make an example, if I like sharing fluffy headcanons about a wholesome brosis ships with you (general you), that doesn't necessarily mean I'll be okay with you reccing me hardcore BDSM darkfics about a codependent twincest ship out of the blue just because I'm into incest. Or, if I like twisted, manipulative parent/child and I've gushed about it you, even on multiple occasions, that doesn't necessarily mean I'll be okay with you suggesting me an extreme underage noncon scenario for the same ship, just because I like my incest dark and fucked-up.

We all have a place in fandom, no matter if our tastes run wholesome or twisted, vanilla or hardcore... and I think it's safe to say that many of us actually like both, even if at different times, for different ships, in different context or different combinations! But to coexist together peacefully, we have to be clear about what we want or don't want from our fandom experience, and respect other people's boundaries. Even when we don't get them, or we think they're too specific, or they're the squshy "X is yes or a soft no for me depending on the day, unless Y happens, then it's a HARD no" or "X is a hard no for me unless Y happens when Z, then it's just a soft no or, in a W context, even a yes" kind. (And, as someone who does have some squishy boundaries, let me tell you: they're actually WAY more frustrating when you try to formulate them in an understandbable manner so you don't accidentally cause any misunderstanding than when you have to hear them out, lol.)

Fortunately, I don't think I've actually seen cases like these happen a lot among incest shippers. But I think it always good to keep all this in mind!

Hi Anon,

I apologize for making things difficult for you. The grading-on-a-curve analogy first came up in this post. It was primarily a discussion of Cathy and Chris, so I didn't link back to it.

I agree with you. Many antis cannot be reasoned with, will always assume the worst, and need to pass judgment to validate themselves, or some other psychological reason. If we start regulating our behavior to appease them, they win. As always, the best way to deal with the issue is to ignore them, create content, and enjoy ourselves. But even though they are prone to assumptions, we also don't want to give them any fuel for assuming the wrong thing about us as shippers.

And then within our community its important not to make assumptions, but I think we have a pretty good understanding among ourselves that tastes vary. But it's good to remember to always give details when recommending things so that people can make informed decisions.

Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Anon!

Could you please explain the meaning of the kanji in Amaya's full name and if there was any reason you chose to her that specifically? I remember in the Heavens Official's Blessing au, "Night Rain" was mentioned and it intrigued me a lot

Hi! Her full name in Kanji is 結城雨夜.

To be perfectly honest, I stole her family name from Asuna (SAO) LOL. Reason being I loved the Mother's Rosario arc and her relationship with Yuuki. It's also kind of a pun because it's pronounced the same as the Japanese word for "courage" (reason for the title of the op theme for that season) I was originally going to use different kanji with the same pronunciation, but after researching the irl history of the Yuuki family and getting inspiration from that, I decided to keep it. It's actually a not uncommon last name irl.

Individually, the kanji 結 means "to bind/tie together" while 城 is "castle". Coincidentally, 城 is also the "Cheng" in Hua Cheng. Although it means "city wall" in his case. (Slight differences in usage between Japanese and Chinese)

For her first name, it actually comes from when my high school teacher had us pick Japanese names for ourselves to use in class. At the time, I just thought "Amaya" sounded pretty. 雨 means "rain", 夜 means "night". So "night rain" or "rainy night". I just started using it in the story for self insert purposes haha.

The reason Amaya's parents decided on that name as mentioned in Chapter 9, I came up with later. When I pictured "night rain" or "rainy night", it made me think of a "storm". Plus, since dl loves their biblical references, it also became my subtle reference to the storm in Noah's arc that cleanses evil *cough*andendsinarainbow*cough*.

This became the reason why Amaya's sword is called Kiyoamemaru(清雨丸). 清 means "pure" or "clear". 雨, rain again. And 丸 means "round/circle/complete", which is a common suffix for sword names. So all together, it can mean "perfectly clear rain" or "purifying rain".

As you can see, the reasons I picked 結城 and 雨夜 were both completely arbitrary at first. It just so happened that they were great starting points for....strangely fitting lore lol.

Plus the weird coincidence that Amaya shares two kanji with Hua Cheng...the one mentioned above and the "rain" from "Crimson Rain Sought Flower". So for that au, I adjusted the title to become "Night Rain Cleansing Evils" to reference all of the above and so the shorted version "Night Rain" would be literally Amaya's name and clue Yui in to her true identity.

I'm sure that was quite long, but there you go!

I feel like I'm only recently actually learning about how I experience dysphoria.

For years before I realized I was trans my reason was that I wasn't dysphoric and didn't have any problem with being a guy, but a lot of that was just not knowing what dysphoria is, despite being in a position that I could've been exposed to what it means much easier than others. Just like many other people I had never heard of dysmorphia and mixed it up with dysphoria, thinking I was perfectly fine with being a guy because I thought I generally looked good.

After watching some trans YouTube videos, I eventually realized that the feeling that the person in the mirror wasn't me was not just that I was "immature" and that I wouldn't grow into it (at first I thought my personality would grow to match my body, but eventually the feeling became the norm and I forgot about it).

I think I've had bits of feeling dysphoric for a while, but I didn't really notice it before my egg cracked, bc I thought it was stress or some other factor. These moments aren't that common though, mostly because I don't have any image of myself in my head, while this is definitely partially aphantasia, it's also because I feel no connection to the "man in the mirror". Looking in the mirror normally feels like looking at a picture of someone else (I still never liked pictures of myself though).

I think that because I have trouble connecting how I look with myself, I don't feel dysphoric that often, since it isn't me that looks like that (and my voice still feels like an improvement on my voice before it dropped because used to hate how my voice sounded "squeaky" and I remember it as sounding kinda like it was constantly cracking). Recently I've started not only playing online games presenting more fem, a lot of this has been in VRChat, which works bc of how common it is for guys to use anime girl avatars, but even with that I still have realized how much my voice *doesn't* represent me, it's still fine talking in person, but actually having an image of my identity for it to be incongruent with has made it actually cause dysphoria.

Ik this is getting long, but the other major example is me actually trying (in private) to see myself more fem irl. Every once in a while I'm home alone for an extended period of time when I plan to shower, this gives me the opportunity to spend a bit before I shower to fuck around with my mom's makeup. It's usually a bit hard to do much since everything also needs to come off before I finish showering (or usually before I start in case someone gets home while I shower). Usually this doesn't do much for seeing myself in my reflection, and my hair also fucks it up, so I usually do it when I wear a hoodie so I can cover everything other than my face up, but since I want to be extremely cautious, I'm limited to what I know I can remove quickly. Recently I did this with some lipstick, and oh my god, after putting my hood up, I felt like I saw a little of myself in my reflection, I could see the girl who usually only shows up every once in a while for a passing moment before I look beyond the eyes of my reflection. I don't remember any other time I've genuinely smiled at my reflection, but seeing her, seeing myself more clear than ever before made it hard not to. I haven't done it again since, but I don't know that I would see myself again if I did, because I know if I had time to sit with it, to look closer than a meter away from the mirror, I would see all the imperfections. I wouldn't see myself, or worse, I would see a version of myself that is so distant it only barely registers as me.

I think it's hard to feel dysphoric, to feel like your image, your body and appearance, shouldn't be yours and hide who you are, when you can't realize that the body you see in the mirror is supposed to be you.

I think that the controversy comes from the fact that there IS the room for interpretation! I feel like this "room" will get nuked in the DLC (for the history records, this post is made before DLC aired). But yes, currently it has been the constant punching between "oh my GOD how are you not reading Mohg being metaphorically depicted to crawl out from shared love bed with Miquella and speaking of him romantically, that he KIDNAPPED, sexual abuse and incest are RIGHT here are ya'll media illiterate???" vs "Miquella LITERALLY has the powers to brainwash people into falling head over heels for him, how is this not realistic that he decided to use Mohg as free bodyguard so people would have less chances to hurt Malenia in seeking him?!"

It is always frustrating how whenever any media actually uses the 'show don't tell' principle instead of rubbing the clear answer in your face, English-speaking/Western-centered/whatever fandoms still manage to make it into a battle of reading the given clues the "correct" way. (don't see this behaviour in Eastern Asian or Slavic fandoms or alike) I think simply having waited for the DLC would have saved the fandom a lot of nerves, but we also spent at least a year not even knowing whether we WOULD get the DLC to begin with, so.. 🤔

I am personally biased for the SO implications interpretation, but I don't want to be the Bender pulling out a coin meme with this one! What does actually frustrate me though, is THE correlation between wanting to like/simp for the character and the 'purer' interpretation. Miquella simps in 90% of the cases can ONLY like him perfectly kind, and trust me they do tend to ignore the suicide bombers and Bewitching Branch, let alone anything that blooms from these interpretations! (I don't count Griffith simps that use Miquella as surrogate as simps, personally). Mohg simps in 90% of the cases can ONLY like him if he was actually manipulated victim, if not deliberately erase the canon events and implications! People with nuanced takes tend to not care too much, and people with negative takes straight up dislike the character. I just don't understand how comes that the franchise with many incredibly messed up situations failed to attract simps with actually weird or even "problematic" taste! And if someone asks "but WHY would anyone simp for iRrEdEmAbLe character :ccc".....

We are above 'you can only simp for types you actually want to date irl' discourse, as well as we are above proanti discourse! This is just all so... boring and visionless, in the end. You'd wish every character got sullied in their own sins and still be loved. This gives me flashbacks to the years long history of Maria simps having to ignore her flaws and girlfailures because they could not simp otherwise (granted, it thankfully is over now, but that won't return the psychological health of her critics getting hated on). No shade on Dark Souls trilogy fandom, and Bloodborne fandom is only bad on Tumblr because of discorserverfication and rotting into "cool kids" groups (full disrespect to Alfred blorbofication vs Alfred hating disparity), but Elden Ring fandom absolutely could and SHOULD become weirder. Why it attracted so many normies? Just because it has cute flowers and animals aesthetic and its story is a bit more direct? We are supposed to be insane!!! We are the Miyazaki followers!!!

And it always goes down to that problem where in any conflict or abuse in media, there MUST be 'good' and 'bad' side. If Mohg was genuinely evil that means Miquella has to be 100% pure, if Miquella has dark sides then that somehow makes the awful treatment of him by Mohg no longer "valid", because victim can only be perfect, and if you address the fact how Mohg lived then he is justified because abuser can only be evil without nuances.. You see what I mean.

Idk how much of an unpopular opinion that is but like if you feel the need to remove his nastier traits and his more horrible acts are you even a mohg fan

You rarely got hungry in the middle of the night. You usually went to bed full of food cooked by yourself or ordered takeout by your roommate, Denki. Tonight was different, however. You had been working on a project, one that was taking up far too much of your time due to your incompetent group members causing you to pick up the slack. You had been stressed beyond belief lately because of them. Maybe a small stretch would help clear your mind, you reasoned to yourself internally. While you were at it, a midnight snack wouldn’t be too bad. It would help ease your nerves, even. You stood from your desk, stretching your arms above your head and cracking the joints of your shoulders. Now exiting your room, you threw a glance across the hallway to see the light under your roommate’s door was still on. Of course he was staying up again, when did he not? Probably off playing video games with the guys again.

You yawned, bare feet pattering against the hardwood of your apartment floor on your way to the kitchen. You shivered, wearing only a cropped sweater you had thrifted and a pair of your comfiest shorts. So what if they were a little short on you, they did the job of keeping you comfy while you slept. No one besides Denki saw you in them, mostly because you wore them to bed. Opening the fridge door, you cringed at the harsh lighting hitting you square in the face. You bent over, eyes scanning the bottom shelf for something to pique your interest. Since you figured Denki was in his room, you didn’t bother to bend your knees while you were searching for your snack.

“Uh- I uh, whatcha lookin’ for?” Denki’s voice cracked slightly. What were the odds? Your head whipped up so fast from the fridge, you nearly knocked into the door of it. Your face began to overheat as you saw your roommate standing there in his pyjamas, fighting off his own blush as he looked at you. Had he seen how your shorts rode up your ass, giving the perfect view of the lace black panties you had been wearing that night? Maybe. The answer was most definitely a yes, but he wasn’t going to admit that to you. He really didn’t want to die by your hands.

“I was, well I was grabbing some water,” you fumbled for your words as Denki approached you, moving around the bar counter of your apartment to peer into the fridge himself from behind you. His hair was damp, sticking to his forehead indicating that he had just hopped out of the shower. No kidding, he had used your fruit passion shampoo along with lemon scented body wash again. You felt his hot breath on the back of your neck from how close he was to you, your tongue wetting your lips as you tried to ease your building nerves. You were never so nervous around him, he was your roommate and your best friend. The two of you had always been comfortable around each other.

You stood perfectly still, razor focused on the fruit cup on the top shelf to distract your mind that was buzzing with electricity. He smelled so good. He felt awfully warm. And he was incredibly close to you, so much so that you could hear his own inner monologue if you listened hard enough. You were so caught up in your thoughts that your mind barely registered that his hands were sitting comfortably on your waist. “Hey,” Denki spoke up, “Did you wear that for me?”

Processing his words, there was a tiny heat that began to burn low in your stomach. “I’m sorry?” you squeaked out.

“The black lacy ones. The ones that make me want to eat you out on the counter until you’re screaming. Did you wear those for me?” his voice was low, whispering deliciously into your ear. Sinful thoughts were clouding your mind, your previous intentions of getting a snack now lost to the idea of possibly choking on something else entirely tonight. “Denki—” His hands slipped beneath your shirt, stopping just below your breasts. You were starting to feel something hard poking at the cheek of your ass. Your breath hitched, thighs clenching together in an attempt to tame the growing heat between them. The two of you had been dancing around the notion of having feelings for each other for a long time.

You tried to look the other way every time he would stare at you for just a small bit longer than he should. He pretended to not notice the way you sat so very close to him, despite the entire couch being free. The way your fingertips brushed his thighs when you leaned over him to grab the remote. The way his touch lingered on your hip when he went to pass behind you while you cooked dinner together, his palms warm and jittery. Everything clicked together so perfectly for the two of you, it was beginning to become undeniable and almost comical at this point.

Tonight only made you more desperate for some type of release, since all of the previous tension between the two of you had crescendoed into Denki moulding his lips to your neck and sucking deep purple marks in a lovely pattern against your hot skin. Your legs felt weak, a strained moan escaping you. Between the cool air of the open fridge and his hands exploring your torso, it felt like heaven. His fingers pinched and pulled at your nipples eagerly, his name falling off your tongue as if second nature. You wanted him bad. And he wanted nothing more than to strip you of your clothes and have you right there in the kitchen.

Your legs quivered as he touched you, allowing yourself to lean back against him and succumb to his affection. “I’ve been waiting to do this for so long, baby,” the confidence radiating off the blond was dripping right into his tone. It made more of that liquid heat manifest in your lower half. You were quite certain that those lacy black panties Denki had been talking about now had a wet patch from all of his ministrations. His hands kept massaging at your breasts, small whimpers leaving your lips as you whispered out how you needed more from him. You panted, craning your neck to the side to give him more access to your skin. Your hips seemed to move on their own as you wiggled your ass right up against his prominent hard on. “Fuck,” he swore, fingers dipping into your shorts and past the waistline of your underwear to feel your slick. You were soaking from his touches, thighs shaking and fingers finding purchase in blond locks as his finger pad grazed your aching clit. “More,” you whined with need, “I wanna.. I wanna touch you, please.”

Denki’s mind felt like it was melting. Was this a dream? He never wanted to wake up if that was the case. He inserted a finger into your core, heart fluttering upon hearing you moan out for him again. Your walls hugged his single digit, his dick twitching at the sensation. You were feeling unbearably sensitive for some reason that night, the way his thumb drew circles around your clit paired with his finger reaching within you made your head light. “You’re so greedy, look at you fucking yourself on my fingers. Moaning like that for me. From how much you walk around like a little slut, you had this coming,” Denki nibbled at the lobe of your ear before adding a second digit, curling his fingers and further sending you into your pleasure. “Denki,” you called out again, head tossed against his shoulder, ass rubbing right against his dick in ways that made his head spin. “You’re so wet, do you hear that? Holy fuck, I can’t wait to taste you,” Denki’s words made the coil inside the pit of your stomach snap, your first orgasm of the night finally washing over you as you clenched around his fingers. It took all of Denki’s willpower not to cum in his boxers right then and there. Falling against him for support, your hips lazily rolled against his digits to ride out your high.

“Up on the counter babe, we’re not done yet. I’m still feeling a bit hungry,” he murmured into your ear. The two of you backed away from the fridge, leaving the door open to allow some light in the darkened kitchen. You turned to face him, seeing a bit of a loopy smile on his face despite his lust blown pupils. You wasted no time in connecting your lips, tongue sliding into his mouth with ease. Your body pressed his against the cool granite of the counter, his hands drifting lower down your back to meet the flesh of your ass. He tapped your ass a couple times, his fingers pinching at the fabric of your thin shorts. “You won’t be needing these,” he chuckled deeply against your lips. His drop in octave made you shiver. Your own hands mapped out his body, feeling across his abs that he prided himself on as a pro-hero while your other went right for his cock.

Your excited fingers pulled down his gray sweatpants along with his boxers, his cock springing free from its confines. There was a lovely amount of precum beading atop his reddening head, your thumb swirling the natural lube around his tip. The action elicited a groan from the blond, grabbing a bit harder at your ass. You were gentle, teasing even, your eyes glazed over in lust as your hand pumped his dick at a slow tempo. Denki’s hips began to fuck into your hand, his chest heaving as he took this time to shed himself of his t-shirt. He felt entranced by how your fingers looked so delicate fisting his cock, breath hitching in his throat as your wrist rolled with each stroke of his dick. “Do you know how— fuck — how long I’ve waited for this?” Denki’s words are gentle, his neck craning back down to nip at your exposed skin.

“Too long?”

“Way too long.”

You giggled and he groaned, a low rumble against your soft skin that makes you shiver yet again. You smirked with amusement as you felt him pulse in your hand, yet Denki pulled away from your touch just as you were about to tip him over the line to his own orgasm. “You, you first,” he told you, golden eyes trained on yours, “I like seeing you come undone for me.”

A whimper escaped you, his grin hungry with want for you and only you. “Let’s see how good you taste,” he pressed a final kiss to your lips as he eagerly dropped to his knees. With a shy look in your eyes, you allowed your legs to spread, giving Denki a full view of your pretty pussy. He was practically salivating, eyes taking in your wet sex with a strange fire lit behind them. He was eating good tonight. With your fingers threading in his hair and tugging lightly, he took it as his signal to go. You sucked in a gasp of surprise as something cool touched your already slick entrance. Oh, you had forgotten that Denki had a fucking tongue piercing.

Instinctively, your thighs started to close around Denki’s head. He held them open with ease, the metal ball of his piercing following the tip of his tongue as he happily traced your entrance. “Denki,” you huffed, growing frustrated at his languid pace. For a man who seemed rather eager, he was going very slowly. Denki hummed in response, lips now attached to your clit and you felt your body jolt at the feeling. Fuck. Maybe you should have bit your tongue instead. Channeling electricity through his quirk, you felt a shock emitted from the tiny piece of metal in his mouth to your aching clit. “Denki!” you moaned, eyelids fluttering as you struggled to keep your gaze on him. Your hands kept pulling at his semi-damp hair, rutting your hips as best as you could into his face as your heart beat rapidly in your chest. You felt ten times hotter than you did when you first entered the kitchen, your hands expelling your own sleep shirt to the floor as Denki moaned at the sight of your exposed tits. This gave him the opportunity to push his tongue into your pussy, your toes curling at the sensation of his tongue entering your heat. He had his fun, darting his tongue in and out of you as he kept moaning to keep up the tiny vibrations. Moving his bangs away from his eyes, you could only watch as he ate you out with his skilled muscle.

His tongue reached deeper inside of you, his hands holding your thighs apart firmly as they were threatening to clamp around his head with more force. You hadn’t anticipated that Denki would be this fucking good with his mouth. Your inner walls squeezed around him, your moans picking up in volume. Your nipples were peaked, your back arched and your head thrown back as all you could do was continuously grind your hips against his face. This only edged the blond further, his nose stimulating your swollen clit as his tongue delved as far as it could into your dripping cunt. You nearly screamed his name as you were finally tipped over the edge, your chest heaving as Denki suckled at your sensitive lower lips. He drank your essence happily, your body prickling with heat as he drew back to watch in awe at how your pussy fluttered invitingly around nothing. He was drunk on the feeling of you cumming on his mouth. You two were definitely doing that again.

As you steadily regulated your breathing, Denki slowly got up from his position on the floor. Wiping away a bit of your cum from the corner of his mouth, he threw you another grin. You swallowed dryly, “Need you.”

“What was that, baby?”

“Need you, Den. I need you in.. Please.” Your eyes were begging him to give you more. You had seen how much his cock had been leaking onto the kitchen floor, practically throbbing between his legs from not having given release. With a cheeky sort of smile, Denki gave you a kiss to your cheek before settling his lips to the shell of your ear. “Whatever you say, babe.”

In an instant, you were swept off the counter, your body being caged between the closed freezer door and Denki holding you up from beneath your thighs. His cock fell heavy against your stomach, twitching in its desperation for attention. The light emitting from the open door of the fridge illuminated the right half of the electric blond’s face, his expression lustful and giddy in the harsh LED lighting. It made your heart buzz with anticipation, your body tensing as he eased the head of his cock past your folds. Your hands scrambled for his shoulders, fingernails leaving red crescents along his creamy skin. Denki’s eyes were on you, his breathing irregular as you wasted no time in pulling out and thrusting back in with confidence. His lips swallowed your moans, the wet, lewd sounds of your fucking adding more tinder to the heat now coiling in the pit of your stomach for the third time tonight. “Please,” you begged, practically trembling from overstimulation as Denki rocked you into the cool aluminum of the freezer door.

“Please what, baby?” the playfulness in his tone didn’t match the serious manner in which he kept pistoning into you, chasing his own release as your slick from previous orgasms now coated his cock and ran down his thighs. Each time he went in, he angled himself right up to meet that special spot inside you to make you see tiny specks of white dot your vision. “I- I, ah! Denki!” Fingers now grasping at his hair again, you yanked harshly as you came around his pulsing cock for the third and final time, squeezing him snugly as you desperately attempted to catch your breath. There was a tingly sensation running through your legs starting from your thighs, numbing and electric as Denki kept up his quick pace to chase his own release, groaning dirty praises into your ear that made you keen. Your legs wrapped around his waist, urging him to go deeper and finish inside of you. His hips met yours for one last time, stuttering as he pumped his sticky cum into your abused hole. You two stayed there for a moment, you letting out quiet giggles as Denki took his time in getting the air back into his lungs. He let you down steadily from the position you had been in, making sure to hold you up since the feeling was still a bit lost in your legs.

“Wow that was,” Denki paused, struggling to find the right word for the situation you two had caught yourselves in. “Satisfying,” you finished for him, to which he blushed deeply. The smile he flashed you was earnest and relieved, if he was being quite honest. “Ah, nice! Let’s get you something to eat, maybe a cheese string. But definitely water!”

“I’m actually feeling pretty full right now in terms of cheese. Thanks for that, Den.”

“Wait really?” Denki questioned as he swept his boxers along with his shirt off the kitchen floor, his concern showing through his furrowed brow, “Not even for a cheese string?”

A deadpan look crossed your face, sighing as you gave in to your dumbass of a roommate. “One cheese string.”

“Bet!”

Needless to say, post sex activities consisted of a hot shower, the second Shrek movie, and two cheese strings (per Denki’s request). Not a bad way to relieve your stress, you concluded to yourself happily as you snuggled closer to your roommate, fingers intertwined beneath the blanket as you allowed yourself to slip into a comfortable slumber against Denki’s shoulder.

Say more about the platonic soulmate au, the world (me) needs it pls and thank ~ blackhannet anon

So like. Having a soulmate tattoo just kind of instantly Marks you as QueerTM. right, like. even people who don't have one nvm one that matches yours don't want to be your friend, because clearly you'll get Weird about friendship and make things all Strange. like how straights don't want to be friends with gays because WhAt If ThEy HiT oN mE. but platonic.

like. stede would have been ostracized for being obviously queer regardless, as we see perfectly well in canon, but this is just one more reason and one he literally can't grow out of or hide. (i'm trying to decide on placement here but idk yet.)

but also like. the marks can't be scarred over either i feel like, right. if they don't fade or crease, right, they don't scar either. you can't cut them or burn them off, and if you get injured over yours you'll still have a scar there but the tattoo will show over it, maybe a little warped by being textured, but not ruined. (thought of this because i was like omg what if it's on the left side of their gut kasflksksl. but then idk if i like that actually. that's kind of an ed thing, yk?)

and! it's also kind of societally assumed that people who have soulmates can't romantically love, so people don't want to get into that kind of relationship with them either. (hello. my feelings. my irl feelings that i am hurting.)

izzy is a supremely stubborn and proud man, and i think that's kind of a natural disposition for him. so he literally always was real upfront and Say Something about his tattoo, and he deliberately keeps his ink tattoos sparse so as not to hide it. (getting a ton of ink tattoos is really the only way to cover one up, make it blend in.) he's been lonely of course, and hurt and frustrated, but he's never been ashamed of it.

stede on the other hand absolutely thinks he's some kind of heartless, broken freak. and a nancy boy on top of it! good heavens! from loooooong before he even reaches puberty he's certain he's an irredeemable pervert. never has there ever been a glass closet so clear.

but the placement isn't too ostentatious (it's not the x, i'll tell you that much lmfao) so in stede's case the secret can be kept, at least during adulthood when there are no shared bunks or locker rooms or whatever the fuck boarding schools have. he can be fully dressed at all times and no one ever has to see it!

but then the marriage. and like. stede's father, who is arranging this, could not more obviously have not forgotten about stede's soulmate tattoo, but also it really seems like he has? because he visibly disapproves when stede floats the idea of telling mary about it, but he also certainly would not approve of stede saying it's an ink tattoo which is dirty and crass, so like??? what is stede supposed to say?? (i'm sure you've had a similar experience, i think we all have lmao.)

anyway so like i said on their wedding night is the first mary hears of this whole thing, when she sees stede's tattoo with her own eyes. i think at first he's honestly just trying to pretend it's not there lmfao. and then he does try to say it's an ink tattoo but can't commit to that because, again, it's just a different kind of BadTM innit, and finally he confesses what it is and he's, like, crying and pathetic and whatnot.

i think mary is actually probably kind of chill about it. like, she already knew she and stede didn't love each other, and nobody was ever trying to say they'd eventually fall in love either. maybe it's even a little bit of a relief that - as far as she's been told - he can't love her, so she doesn't have to feel bad if she never loves him either. that's quite a guilty thought tho so she buries it down and doesn't really acknowledge it until after he leaves.

anyway yeah. stede is arograce and izzy is aroallo and ed is alloace. and they're gay!

TW: Discussions of intimate partner abuse

Adding to this.

I’ll say real quick that when i was 14 going 15 I was in an abusive relationship very similar to that of Lloyd and Harumi. While my father is very much alive and my abuser didn’t try to resurrect the most evil parts of him via supernatural means to torment me, my abuser was still very manipulative and would often guilt trip, emotionally blackmail, and even do complete 180s in mood from kind and understanding to openly malicious when it benefitted them most; this was used as a method of extreme control to keep me from stepping out of line as though i was a dog on their leash rather than their boyfriend. Although there was much more going on, I won’t go into much more detail but i hope this gets the point across.

I feel like the lloyrumi conversation is one that needs to be had across fandoms because, as an abuse survivor, seeing people ship abusers with their victims is beyond just uncomfortable to see. It’s alienating to the survivors and victims of abuse such as myself, and at times downright inappropriate. Often times, people romanticize these sorts of ships. I look at BL and Yaoi for main examples of this happening, but i see it very often in this very fandom.

Lloyd’s trauma is downplayed and the relationship he has with Harumi is minimized into mutual “beef” or that he was just as abusive towards her as she was towards him. this treatment of lloyd reminds me of how Denji is treated by the Chainsaw Man fandom, or how Donny was treated as an irl person and a character following the release of Little Reindeer.

Now this ain’t me sayin that ya can’t ship toxic ships. There are many toxic ships everyone enjoys: Alejandro x Heather from Total Drama, Bojack Horseman x almost every woman he gets with (excluding wanda and penny), and more. those are cases where they become fun ways to explore what forms the relationships and what causes the toxicity as well as how it affects the characters. What are their motives? were they always this way? It’s so interesting. However there comes a certain point where mutual toxicity turns into abuser x victim and that’s where things go too far. I love GhostlySundae’s example of Bojack x Gina because it perfectly illustrates when interesting shippable toxicity turns into an unshippable abusive relationship that left a woman traumatized.

It’s okay to explore unhealthy relationship dynamics and ship mutually toxic relationships. Those are often interesting to explore and normally it’s meade clear by the shippers and the media they’re based in that it’s not endorsement of toxic relationships. However, it’s not okay to endorse abusive relationships by shipping them because of how unhealthy they are or because of the abusive dynamic. That crosses the line into endorsement and romanticization of abusive ships. It needs to stop especially in this fandom.

So glad we’re being normal abt Llorumi now. It was never that serious.
