#and i obv ship it so why would you send that

[erithel]

Piggybacking off of your response to the previous ask, man can I just say what an utter clusterfuck the whole "gone" situation was follower-wise... i'm gonna make this about me so sorry about that, however i'm the kind of person that can't really articulate their thoughts, can't see through the layers as clearly as others and when people post a thoughtful analysis that reflects my feelings about the fic while the best thing I can come up with is something like "wow, fic good❤️" (which yeah I know is still fine but anyway) it makes me feel so much better because what is trapped in my head is articulated as I wanted to express it... that being said, seeing you explore ptsd and lance's grief like this stirred smth in me, I cried at times, so I was very excited to see people in your asks sharing their thoughts and all... And then they didn't seem to care so much about it (not all of them obvs) and at first it was like "hahah yeah.. we all want them to kiss xd lol" but then seeing you post about how people would essentially flood your asks for klance to KISS ALREADY™ plus with other general stuff... Idk if it was frustrating for me I can't even begin to imagine how it was for you, because this is like.. still a story, just in comic form, so yes it has an arc it need to complete. We could see the episode count from the beginning too if I remember correctly, so being so insistent about it was weird? Either way, it was a story and it was getting somewhere and spamming about when your ship will be canon is kind of annoying. So sorry this happened to you and so happy you pushed through! I binge it on the regular!

I feel like I could do a Ted Talk on the etiquette of commenting at this point, through my own experience, and also reading comments my friends have received on their work.

But essentially what it boils down to is two things:

Creators put a lot of work into their stories, and

They choose to write stories their way

The way that I write fan content (both fics and comics) is because these stories and these subjects are important to me. Some of them are very personal, too. And I know I am not the only creator who chooses to write this way.

Obviously the way I reacted to the "just kiss already" comments may have seemed like an overreaction from the outside (I thank you for being understanding in your ask btw).

But the message those constant comments were sending was a very clear one of:

All the thought/time/work you put into this story does not matter

Everyone who ever told you to "just get over it" was right

Grief can be a very physical and powerful thing.

Losing someone you love leaves you with this excess of love and affection that now has no where to go. You used to have a place to direct it, and when that place is suddenly gone, it takes a while to learn how to function again; to redistribute that love.

It's something that never goes away, it just gets manageable. And it's definitely not something you can "just get over."

I'm not saying I'm the greatest storyteller of all time, but I was tired of reading books and watching movies and shows where the characters never felt the aftermath of a loss. They all just moved onto the next episode or the next chapter like nothing ever happened.

And I do think it's important to tell stories like this in fanfiction. Because many readers are younger. Many readers rely on reading fanfiction because it's free. Many readers need hope and catharsis. And getting to read about their favorite characters go through terrible things but realistically come out on the other side is, to me, very important. Because the stories we read - no matter if they are free or published works - can stick with us for the rest of our lives.

This is why it was such a big deal for me. Because I was trying to tell a story that said "Please take your time to get over things. Please know that it's okay if you don't immediately snap back to the way things were. Please know that it's okay to feel whatever it is you are feeling." And getting comment after comment that said the exact opposite was honestly just crushing.

I would take a "wow, fic good" comment any day. Because it acknowledges what has been done, instead of demands things to speed up to suit someone else's needs.

And, on a slightly more petty note... it was a klance fan comic. It's not like they weren't going to kiss. They just weren't going to do it in the middle of an argument where it wouldn't have stuck!

(I do also think it's funny that there's a perfect comic example of a kiss happening too early, before communication which happened right around the same time as Gone. And for the record, she's gotten way more and way worse comments than I did, so that's something worth mentioning, too.)

The point is that some stories are very personal to the author and very important to certain members of the audience. Of course no single story will be for everyone, but just because it is not going a certain way does not mean it's okay to demand it be changed.

how do you see an AU where Joanna survives and her relationships with her children?

been thinking about this ask whilst eating spaghetti

I think it's a mess with all three. first of all, supposing Joanna survives Tyrion's birth, she also survives to seal the deal with the Princess of Dorne in sending one of the twins off to Sunspear to be betrothed.

and whilst I kind of like 'jam growing up in Dorne' aus, I do think it would most likely be Cersei who gets shipped off. that's namely because in taking Cersei, the PoD reserves Elia for marriage to Rhaegar (I'm sure she was biding her time for that), and in the same fell swoop removes Cersei as her competition (Cers would probably have ranked quite highly before Tywin and Aerys' falling out).

obvs Joanna would be conscious of that calculation on the PoD's part, but 1) she may not necessarily have had the same ambitions for Cersei as Tywin did, and 2) at this particular point Joanna probably needs the betrothal of one of her children to a Martell more than PoD does; she wants the twins separated, but they're still very young at this stage so she would want them in safe hands - and she was once close to the PoD, possibly saw her as an elder sister/mentor figure of her own. so a Martell betrothal is the safest way she can do this, and Cersei would be the one the PoD would offer to take I reckon

so Cersei is forced out of her home at a young age, and I think that could be pretty interesting in terms of Tywin and Joanna's marriage for one thing. like, I assume Tywin would resent two women going behind his back to betrothe his daughter when he expressly had plans to give her to Rhaegar. is he able to put a stop to it?? I think Joanna would insist on it, but that would cause a bit of a rift because Joanna isn't explaining WHY and maybe it's the first time he feels she's crossed a line in her role as his wife.

I ALSO think that if Joanna were to survive Tyrion's birth, some part of Tywin would blame his son's disability on Joanna. in killing Jo, Tyrion martyrs her, but if she survived then it's like she's somehow responsible in Tywin's fucked up mind. bc I don't think he could fathom having had anything to do with his son's conception himself if the son wasn't what he'd wanted. so generally yes I see their relationship being worse and probably more distant with fewer visits from KL.

ANYWAY I digress but thinking about where this situ leaves Joanna and her relationship w her kids!!

JAIME starting with Jaime cos I think this would, relatively speaking, be the most straightforward. I think of the Lannister siblings, all the key Lannisters generally find Jaime the easiest to love and I don't think Joanna would be an exception. I think she's absolutely the kind of mother who would love her sons better, because as a woman she doesn't take such a complicated and visceral view of them as she does her daughter.

HOWEVER she would of course recall what happened between Jaime and Cersei. and I think she would low-key blame Cersei. I think Cersei, whilst charming in her own way, was no doubt a kid who could be angry and sour and difficult to handle, whilst Jaime sounds comparably quite affable and easygoing. so the first fucked up thing Cersei and Joanna's relationship is that Jo decides Cersei is the one who came up with the 'game' so that she can mentally forgive Jaime, because it's easier than reckoning with her son being less than perfect.

and I think the result with Jaime is that he resents Joanna deeply for sending Cersei away, and he dislikes that she keeps trying to acquit him of what they were both doing, and consequently distances himself from her. I imagine them as close before that, so this hits Joanna hard and she turns that resentment on Cers, again making their relationship worse.

possibly the relationship between them heals a little as Jaime grows matures and maybe realises how upset Joanna must have been at the time, but I think he is always angry for what she did to Cersei and doesn't forgive her that.

CERSEI I imagine Cersei stays in Dorne till she's maybe 12-13, and then maybe is made lady in waiting to Elia in King's Landing. and I think she spends the whole time hating Joanna. like I kind of doubt that Oberyn and Cersei would like each other much, and Cersei would always remember she was supposed to be Rhaegar's Queen, and Dorne sucks etc and where's Jaime, and also just like imagine how traumatic to be seven and sent away to some strange place for doing something you didn't even really understand was wrong. of course she'd hate Joanna

I think she only comes home to the Rock intermittently from Dorne, and Joanna is subtly antagonistic to her every time in case Cersei 'corrupts' her son again + Cersei is probably antagonistic in return because Joanna is the one who ruined everything, so it's all fucked. Joanna probably still tries to temper her daughter into the lady she thinks she should be, and Cersei is just not having it. it's awful

TYRION I feel like there's two Schools of Thought (lmao) on how Joanna and Tyrion's relationship would be: one where Joanna dislikes her son but is just more tactful about it than Tywin, and one where they're actually close and Joanna fancies him a bit of a mini-me.

I think it could be BOTH. I think Joanna, who no doubt cares a great deal about her public image and is still v much a Lannister who somehow had it in her to love a man like Tywin (to whatever degree she did), would be disturbed at having birthed a disabled child and would never quite shake that. it would haunt her forever.

BUT Tyrion is smart and funny and desperately wants to love her and be loved by her, and I think she would respond to that with a love of her own. I think she'd try to raise him up beyond what everyone else thought of him, and there'd be a lot of whispering in one another's ears. but she can't raise him up beyond what she, deep down, thinks of him, and that's a bitter truth in their relationship all Tyrion's life. I think she punishes him more harshly than she would Jaime, and is less willing to tolerate any shortcoming in Tyrion - he has to be better in every sense he can be. so there are darker periods in their relationship with Joanna is crueler to Tyrion, and it utterly fucks with his head because he knows how warm she can be when she chooses to be and he doesn't know how to win her love back, it's just like one day she warms again and things are nice once more but he always fears her turning cold again

and I think a big part of this is Tywin blaming Joanna for Tyrion - I think she'd find that hideously unfair, but perhaps also believe it a little.

ANYWAY long post and this is a huge amount of conjecture but long story short I think Joanna is fucked too

[loptrcoptr]

It’s come to my attention that a lot of people in the BES fandom are new to fandom-culture in general (or lack there of; we denizens of tumblr are residents of a cesspool) and don’t know a lot of general old school online manners, laid down in Days of Yore by earlier generations. So let me bring up a crucial one that is generally being ignored on tumblr in the BES-sphere: ship tagging!

I am not doing this to condescend, I genuinely want to be helpful and to help us all enjoy our enclosure and our enrichment in said enclosure together. I think a lot of grief going around the blue eye samurai world on social media could be solved if everyone remembered one good old cardinal rule of fandom bullshit:

you do not put ship wank in a ship’s general tag.

let me say that one more time in different terms:

If you want to rant about how much you hate a ship, general practice has always been, on tumblr anyway, not to do so in the safe space created for said ship.

once again, lemme be very clear; I don’t give one rat’s ass or 800 collective asses of rats what you ship, why you ship it, whether you ship anything at all, why you hate x y z, etc. That’s great, that’s what fandom is for! Enjoy yourself! The issue is that there’s all this infighting fuckery going on that is exhausting to even watch from the sidelines, and I think there’s a lot of confusion as to why anyone is fighting over any of this shit at all as it is 2024 and ship wars are 2011 superwholock garbage that we all collectively agreed to jettison into space by 2015, ya feel me?

(and if you like to start shit and throw hands then obv this post isn’t for you as you know what you’re doing, this is for the folks who don’t know and are confused as to why they can’t rant without blowback)

So if you’ve gotten on tumblr recently and noticed your anti-ship post blowing up for some reason or other and asked yourself “Jesus why are these assholes from that ship always coming for me?? They’re such dicks!!” ask yourself:

did I tag them in my post?

Because when you tag a ship in a post about how much you hate it, it’s not a beacon that says “Hear Ye Hear Ye, Interacteth Not Ye Fuckos From Ship I Hate, This Is About How Much I Hate Your Ship”. For that to be the case, you would need old-school anti-ship tag nomenclature, like this: #anti-[shipname] or #[shipname] wank. Those tags would communicate your intent to rant, which is your sacred fandom right to enjoy doing! It is not, however, your sacred fandom right to enjoy doing it in the wrong space, that’s what’s happening here. A post that tags a ship with its normal tag, but whose content is anti/wank content about said ship, sends the signal: “ayyooo, who would like to debate this with me?”

So, does all that make sense? If you tag your post analyzing all the reasons why you think a ship sucks with #ship, you are encouraging everyone who ships that ship to interact with your post. It’s like rocking up to somebody’s house, ringing the doorbell, and saying “I hate your fugly ass piece of shit house, asshole” and then getting irritated when the homeowner responds with “who the fuck are you, get off my lawn?!”

#anti-[shipname], #[shipname] hate (forgot about that one, also useful), and #[shipname] wank do two very useful things:

1) They let other people who want to gleefully rant with you know that you’re on the level and they give like minded individuals a chance to follow those tags so you can have more rant sessions together, and

2) they minimize likelihood of involvement by the shippers you’re ranting about, who can block the tag, while keeping the ship’s normal tag open for the people who enjoy it

tldr; *swordfather voice* it would be bitchin if people could stop bitchin in the wrong places so that we can all coexist like adults here, touch some grass, and chill. Tag ship hate #anti-[shipname], #[shipname] wank, or #[shipname]-hate and keep it out of the general pro-ship tags :)

if your response to this is “don’t tell me what to do, cuntwaffle” or “I have an unhealthy relationship with the idea of shipping and think no one should have a safe environment to enjoy media except me and people I agree with so I will continue to poison the waters” then ok, cool beans, keep on chooglin’; but know that everytime you walk into a tea party you weren’t invited to and yell I HATE YOUR FUCKING TEA YOUR TEA SUCKS ASS blowback is a bit inevitable

Hi!!

I watched TMF 2 days ago because of edits I saw (and gacha phase didn't really left me after 5 years). Then I watched it again yesterday just for Drew & Jake interactions, wanted to see their rights and wrongs

I'm mostly on Drew's side even if he was the bully one, I mean it's understable that Jake wanted to be in the club and was afraid that he will lose his friends (and maybe get bullied by them) that he knew for 3 years. BUT I'm honestly mad at Jake that he didn't tell his best friend that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He also ignored the messages Drew was sending or even their group chat. If it comes to Drew: he didn't want to loose Jake and even if his actions weren't perfect (maybe toxic some ppl would say), he had good intetions. At least for Jake because he really thought they are using him (I kinda think Drew could have been in situation like this)

While watching their final fight, I felt like watching break up: Drew's broken voice especially on "freak" part, dull eyes, I mean everyone even disappeared after like it was only their moment. Drew lost the person he didn't want to loose, and he obv had a crush on him too. And then Jake after losing his friends, he is just thinking about club like the other ones were nothing. I know Jake misses them, even on stage he thought he saw these three. But why does he gave up on them so easily - I kinda understand him sometimes but I also don't

I saw your headcanon post and Drew begin biromantic is just perfect and I love it cause it fits him perfectly and also me too and it just made me love him even more and I totally agree and it is canon end of discussion

I kinda agree about Jake begin straight but he could also have been bi (that also has no idea about most of the orientations anyway) and not knowing this because he only accepts his girl crushes (boys are only "I was just embrassed" or "everyone like complements alr" I won't forget this mini small blush when Henry wanted to watch anime with you)

Even if their fight was messed up it wasn't that bad yet. I mean: Jake was in worse terms with the club after the audio because of what he said. But they made up and were even closer later. Some scenes *cough* break up *cough* made me ship Jake and Drew and even if Jake was kinda toxic, he didn't mean it and I really want him to try better and fight for their friendship

I love juffering and druffering but I also really hope that it won't separate these two permanently (Drew deserves better but I know Jake can be better, he just need to work on this)

*thinking if I forgot anything* Sorry it's a little long btw! I wanted to put my thoughts about these two so much

First: Yes, I loved the Drakeup but I can definetly agree that Jake seemed to move on too quickly. And I think it’s implied he’s trying to mask, but honestly I think this is just a flaw in the overall story-writing. As much as I love TMF, it definitely leans more towards telling than showing, and this problem is especially apparent with Jake. We’re told Jake cares about the Jomies, but we never see it. What we see is Jake running off to the Music Club, ghosting his friends, lying to them, and hiding the fact his best-friend’s girlfriend is cheating on him. So that’s probably why it felt so quick. And I wish we had more scenes of Jake with the Jomies, showing that he actually does care about them. I wish we had at least one other moment of him feeling upset about losing his friends. Hopefully this’ll be explored more in S2, and I’m praying we get more showing and less telling in the future.😭

Second, YESSS I’M SO GLAD U AGREE WITH MY DREW HEADCANON HIS BIROMANTIC VIBES ARE CRAZYYYY but also I totally understand what you mean about Jake. To be honest, I’ve seen so many different interpretations of Jake regarding both his sexuality and gender, and honestly all of it makes a lot of sense. That’s something I love about Jake’s character from a writing standpoint: there’s just so much room for interpretation. I may see him as a clueless straight guy, but I’ve seen people headcanon him as bi, transmasc or genderfluid. We’re all just having fun coming up with our own little ideas for him and personally I think that’s beautiful.

And finally, OMG IF ROSY LEAVES DREW AND JAKE SEPERATED I WILL RIOT. But thankfully, I highly doubt this’ll happen. With how much Rosy’s been hyping up Drew’s character, there is no way their fight won’t at least be acknowledged. And as much as I’m hoping for Drew redemption, I also wouldn’t mind if we got a Drew villain arc either. Either way I’m super hyped!

And I also feel like Drew’s characters been way too built up to just mot be explored. Like they don’t even need to make up. I just want them to acknowledge what happened and their friendship. If they were just done the rest of the series that’d be such a sour note to end on. I’m so fucking excited for season 2 I’m praying for Drew redemption but if Drew decides to have a villian arc I’m certainly not gonna complain. I’m just overall hyped lmao.

Never apologize for a long ask, I had such a fun time reading through! Thank you so much for sharing with me.

So I have the most random request for hc's with Jafar. [if you want to obv]. What if his s/o was a demi-god [possibly the child of a god of knowledge] BUT they don't tell anyone. Their dad just shows up one day and thats how he finds out.

Anon your patience for getting this answered is immeasurable. I decided to make the 'god of knowledge' here Hermes, since in the myths Hermes' domain is messenger, lies, travel and creator of the alphabet - which is pretty awesome!

Pls accept these humble headcannons!

Jafar x Demigod!S/O

- You did not intend for this to happen.

- You had had the good sense to lay low and get the hell out of Greece: Your dad Hermes may be one of the more ‘chill’ gods, but you have no interest in getting to know the disaster that is your extended family. Hermes was even weirdly encouraging about you jumping ship, but as the heavenly messenger, you suppose he’s just happy that you’re travelling and putting your skills to use.

- You went overseas, studied languages, got to know the trade routes and built a life for yourself in Agrabah. You even got hired to advise the Sultans government and landed yourself a tall dark and twisted boyfriend to boot!

- You decide to write home one day, idly, just to let your mother (and dad) know you’re alive and things are going ok.

- You...really should have remembered. Hermes is juggling about 50 jobs on the daily and in his haste sometimes...forgets things. Like the fact you’re trying to pass as a regular mortal.

- So three days later when your Dad in all his jazzy, turquoise glory whizzes into the palace, squeezes you up into a giant hug, ruffles your hair and presses a plate of snacks from home into your hands – all while chatting a million miles an hour and letting you know just how proud he is-! - and then proceeds to whiz out again with a cheery ‘Knock ‘em dead kiddo!”, you knew you fucked up.

- Jafar’s knuckles were white around his staff.

- ...oh dear.

- Jafar prides himself on being the most informed person in any room at all times. You think he rose to Grand Vizier and maintained his position by being idle?? Hypnosis, blackmail and murder aside, Jafar has worked DAMN HARD – he takes study and acquisition of intelligence extremely seriously.

- This man, even when in his evil wizard tower in his underwear and swamped under a metric ton of sultan-induced paperwork, can tell you what is happening on the streets of Agrabah and half the civilisations across the desert at any one time.

- And you. Lied to him.

- You, of all people, his most trusted confidant, deliberately and intentionally kept your divine lineage and (presumably) powers hidden from him.

- (if Jafar ever deigns to think about the fact that you kept this from everyone, not just him, there’s a 50/50 chance it would send him into a deeper spiral because he’s supposed to be better than those plebeians and you managed to not only keep this information from him, but LIE to his face about it the entire time-?!)

- Reader if his world would stop fucking spinning he’d congratulate you and then probably attempt to bowl you down the stairs, Iago’s just gonna hang on your shoulder for a bit until the mans paranoia and bitterness stope teetering on the edge of homicide.

- he’s not threatened why on earth would you think that he’s threatened by the fact you’re a half divine being of Fucking Knowledge now hold sTILL-

- It’s... going to take a few days for him to simmer down and stop plotting contingency measures.

- Then he’ll let his greed overtake his self preservation and think about all the ways he can rope you into his schemes to take over Agrabah. The 180 from thin lipped barely contained murderous rage to overtly-looming-hyper-sleaze is dizzying. Iago is facepalming in the back.

- All in all, he’d be up in your business waaaay more than he was before, but he does (eventually) get over it enough to use you as a blatant flex. Of course you only had eyes for him, little jewel, clearly only he had the intellect to match such a divine gift as yours~

- (trip him on the stairs, reader, plEASE-)

Thanks so much for the ask, sorry again for the wait and I hope you like it!

Hey Aether, use this as your vessel to infodump about project hail Mary :]

HEHEHEHEHHEE YAY OK TY AZ .

obv spoilers for phm bcs . it is nearly impossible to talk about this book without spoiling things <3

ok this is a very complicated book to explain , bcs not only is it a *very* well thought out SCIENCE fiction book , but it also is an amnesia story , so it's telling both the present time story , as well as the story just before this one that is this guy slowly remembering things . so eem . it's hard .

if you have specific questions (🥺👁️👁️) abt things I gotchu but this is just going to be a very very long infodump about just like . the first HALF of the book . bcs otherwise it will be even longer <3

anyways , basically , in the vaguely near future , scientists find out that there are alien microorganisms (astrophage) that are sapping energy away from the sun . enough that like . half of humanity is going to be dead within the next 20 years . they find out a lot of stuff , they find these little things all over space that are just eating star energy p much . but then they discover that this other star like 12 light years away *should* be getting eaten by the astrophage , *isn't* . so they were like ok , the whole planet is working together now bcs otherwise we will die , let's make a ship and send some people over there to see whats up . and our main character (Ryland Grace) is one of the MAIN main scientists working on this whole problem , as well as one of the three people they sent up , AND the only one of the three who survived the coma trip there . all this is stuff we find out via Ryland's memory flashes within the first couple chapters lmao .

in current time , our guy wakes up from his 4-ish year long coma , remembering nothing about himself or why he's here . eventually he figures out he's on a space ship and he's supposed to figure out why this star isn't dying even tho there's astrophage supposedly there to eat it . AND THEN . he's looking at the science stuff . and he sees . a spaceship . an intelligent alien made spaceship . and that's where my most favoritest guy in the whole wide world is <3 anyways theres a whole stretch of time that is just ryland and this alien trying to communicate w each other , they make a tunnel and stuff between their ships but with a clear wall between their two sides bcs the alien , my bestest guy Rocky , lives in an atmosphere that is not only like 30x as heavy as earths , but is also . ammonia . Rocky is this little labrador sized spider thing , he's got 5 legs/arms all coming out of a rocky lookin "body" and he "talks" kinda similar to like , whales , and he just makes notes and chords in different ways that are his words . anyways there's a whole thing about them learning to communicate with each other , neither of them can physically speak in the others language but they p much memorize the other's language and then they can just speak to each other still in their languages , but they understand what the other person is saying , and they figure out that they're both here to figure out what's up with this sun not dying and how can we use that information to make OUR sun not die . and they are bestest friends in the whole wide world btw . they are a platonic love story to me ,, eventually Ryland finds out that the rest of Rocky's crew ALSO died , and so they're both just alone out here trying to save their entire species but now they can do it together !!!! and so they spend the majority of the book doing scientific shenanigans and other things to figure stuff out and I won't go super into all that but oh my god it's so cool ouqunfmmec anyways .

the main thing that I've been going insane about is the other of people Ryland was supposed to be on this mission with , Yáo and Ilyukhina . the plan was that the three of them would be put into comas for the trip up , and then they'd wake up once they got there and solve the problem and yay . but . when Ryland wakes up , both of them are dead in their coma bed things , and have been for a *long* time . the three of them had some special gene that made it so theyd be okay in a coma , but for the other two , smthin else went wrong , and there's no medical personnel to deal w that , and so they both died bcs the robot that was supposed to keep them alive wasn't programmed to deal with much else outside of just . keep them alive and healthy throughout the coma . anyways . keeping in mind , Ryland doesn't remember anything . he doesn't remember who these people are , or why they're there with him . but while he's by himself random things will make him remember little things about them and even though he doesn't *actually* remember them at all , every time he thinks about them he just starts *crying* . I have so many screenshots of these moments asriel . they kill me . those were his crew mates . he spent most of his last few years on earth with these people . they were like . his only friends . they were his family . even if he doesn't remember them . he misses them . it literally kills me .

look at this shit . literally devastating . what the fuck . they really just did that . and these are just the most recent ones that I screenshotted . screaming and crying and wailing about them . and he really does just suppress all actual memories about them until maybe the last third or fourth of the book . so for the majority of the book we the readers don't get to know much about them other their their names , their races , and very basic characteristics . like it's literally just oh that's Yáo . stoic Chinese military guy and that's Ilyukhina . adhd kinda crazy Russian girl . and that's it . for most of the book . bcs my bbg Ryland Grace is the king of denial and simply does not want to think about them because it will break him . and it does .

ok anyways . there's an infodump for you lmao cbnejcmemcn this book makes me sick <3

[ventismacchiato]

DEFINITELY TOO EARLY TO TELL but what if what if scrmn broke up cus scara was obv into yn and mona saw that- also i dont rly picture them genuinely loving eo here (for some reason? even tho i actually like this ship or maybe they did IDK) so idk why mona would date a loser/lh like him. so what if scrmn just dated to date (does that even make sense?) anyway smth smth happen now theyre bitter exes.

wouldnt be opposed if they actually did love each other tho cause yumm more plot. IDK WHY IM SO INVESTED HERE I JUST LIKE THE TENSION IG (yn i hope u get so sad and so jealous, im quaking w excitement)

"I'd love to stop being an asshole to this large group of people in my fandom, honestly - truly I would! But unfortunately, I loathe the way they (as in all of them most of them, of course) go about being participating in my fandom, so have decided that I'm justified in generalizing large swathes of them and also that they deserve me being an asshole to them in various ways. Also their shipping practices are akin to tradwifery, creepy predators, and general terfishness, as I've stated matter-of-factly on multiple occasions. So there. Did I mention they were the toxic ones?"

I genuinely had a hard time reading this because it's so hard to understand

I'm not 'making generalizations,i'm describing my experience in the Atla fandom,including the examples i used of Z/Ks usually being the ones to instigate the fights and not other way around?????If that dosen't apply to you,especially because i said i know not all Z/Ks are like,idk why you'd get offended and Z/K isn't like an identity,why're you so uppity about it the blanket term😭I've done research on the stuff i've stated Z/Ks do to make sure i don't fall under it on accident(though for irl reasons to unlearn it to be a good person,not for Atla obvs)and they fall under it in definition and historical meanings,not 'my opinion'

Like words mean things.How am i the toxic one for insulting people for lying about canon to jutify insulting others first and repeating dangerous rethoric?Can you outside,i think the terminally online terminates are finally disentagrating your brain.'I ship Zutara' is not a valid reason to do whatever you want no matter what jfc,y'all have such a persecution complex and love evading responsibility for the shitty things you do,it's like you're rich middle schoolers or some shi'

Anyway,mod,i feel bad sending this rant so mod,here's a fun poll idea:Would Katara perfer s'mores or cupcakes?

Little Researcher

Yoru x Reader

(short story, finished at 3pm)

Fluff, first meeting, swearing, teasing (obvs, it's Yoru's egotistical ass) I'll try to make it gender neutral, as best as I could.

»»——⍟——««

You were someone who worked for kingdom, you were someone who travelled all around the world to find places that had clusters of radianite.

You knew where all the biggest clusters were, which made you a target for those who were enemies and wanted the radianite for themselves.

.

Which is why you found yourself being chased down by a radiant. You weren't a radiant but you knew how to fight, however you didn't bring you ghost during that expedition since it would be a quick trip to make sure the cluster was doing well.

.

You ran to get cover behind a crate so you could catch a brake and notify the headquarters of your situation.

.・゜゜・

"Hello? This is L/N, high radianite investigator, I'm currently being attacked by an unknown threat please send help to my location as soon as possible." "This is headquarters, sending someone to assist your situation. What's your current status?" "I'm out of their vision, from what I can tell there's only 1." "Understood, stay out of harm's way until help arrives."

.・゜゜・

A shot was fired, it grazed the crate that was hiding you. You started to run again, barely avoiding the shots being fired until you felt someone grab your arm and pull out of the way. "Be quiet, not unless you want us both to get shot." As you looked up, you saw it was a guy with blue hair spiked up, you didn't know if you could trust him but then he spoke again, "And don't panic little researcher, I was sent here to deal with your problem." That didn't convince you but you relaxed a bit.

.

He removed his hand from your mouth and gestured you to follow him. As you were walking, he had his gun out checking every corner and place where the enemy could be. Soon you both were both out in the open, you could tell he was focused, so you didn't bother asking anything, since you wanted to leave alive and safely. As you both were about to enter the second building, he quickly turned around and threw something behind you pulling you closer. A scream was heard from where he threw the object.

.

"You don't mind if I throw you over my shoulder don't you?" You just nodded since you heard someone running towards you both, he threw you over his shoulder and began sprinting through the halls. You didn't expect him to be this fast, especially since he was carrying you over his shoulder. Another shot was fired which grazed your shoulder, making let out a hiss due to the sting it caused. "Shit!"

.

He made it into a room and sat you down on the ground behind a crate checking your shoulder, it was slight bleeding but not that serious. "Okay, I'm going to get rid of that shit so I can get you to safety, so can you stay here gorgeous?" You nodded, only a small pink dust spreaded across your cheeks with his complement which made him smirk.

.

"Good." He said as he stood up and walked away to face the enemy. You were hearing gunshots and some form of glass breaking. You peaked your head over the crate to check for any signs, when you saw him walking back, you slowly stood up when he spoke "The threats dead, let's get moving."

.

You soon heard a ships engines in the distance, "Thank you, I would've been able to deal with the enemy if I had brought my ghost with me." "I was just going by an order, how's your shoulder?" "The pain isn't that strong, though I need it cleaned." He nodded, "by the way, what's your name?" "Yoru, why do you ask gorgeous?" " Well, I wanted to know the name of the guy that helped me. Also why the nickname?" "Why not? Fits you doesn't it?"

.

You never really was a person for looks, after all you had to be under a lot of surveillance due to how much knowledge you posses, so whats the purpose of looking hot when you can't even interact with anyone other than the scientists and other researchers. "Does it really?" "Really? I suggest you look into a mirror once in awhile" "I do, to brush my teeth." "And you don't see yourself? You know, looking gorgeous?" "No?" "Huh... I guess I saved a smart, yet blind researcher." You were baffeld you were about to respond when wind was blown into both of your faces, the ship was here.

.

.

Once the ship landed on top of the Kingdom research lab, you were getting off when your savior, Yoru, said one last thing "If ever your in a shitty situation, I'll be the one to save you, no one else."

"Sure, spike boy."

[gwyns]

“I fully feel like the majority of GA/ EL's are young or haven't ever dated (not all of them obvs but yeah). So they think any interaction with a man is romantic and that when a (hot) man is interested in you, you must oblige.” The laugh i let out when an E*riel said this. And yet, their side is making multiple troll accounts & sending death & rape threats. They really think that it’s hot & romantic how Azriel hadn’t planned beyond the fantasies he pleasured himself to, referred to Elain as “the third”, continues to speak up for her when she doesn’t like that, & didn’t care if he hurt Lucien in the Blood Duel even though it would affect Elain regardless if she doesn’t want the mating bond or not. Even if the mating bond is rejected you will always feel that pull. I can’t with E*riels. They’re so delusional. It’s funny how the ones who make posts saying “I want all of us to get along and not bring each other down! We need more peace and love in this fandom! I love how we don’t have to drag down Gwyn to hype up our ship!” And then they like posts or make posts that are gross and disturbing and rude and are sexist & harmful to Gwyn and her trauma.

honestly at first i was going to half agree with this because i thought "oh! a self aware e/riel!!" but then i realized that the "el" in question was referring to eluciens 💀

also isn't it funny how i never ever once saw e/riels use the "oh they're young and inexperienced" take until after gwynriels and eluciens started saying it? and i'm supposed to believe we're not the blueprint?? riiiiight

i find them saying this especially ironic considering elain and az, much like the other ships, haven't actually done anything. they nearly kissed and wanted to fuck. so what? tamlin and feyre did more and guess what? they still weren't endgame. that's just a physical interest, it means next to nothing if you don't actually care about the other person. no gwynriel or elucien is saying our ships actually do care that way about each other yet, just that they'll get there eventually

the glaring issue with them stealing this argument is that you can't apply it to every other gwynriel or elucien you see. meanwhile, more often than not, you see an e/riel scream about them being endgame simply because az was horny and wanted to eat her out. that's it. that's such a naive view of romance. any grown up who has had people show an interest in them will tell you that and idk about anyone else but i've had multiple guys tell me they love me and i didn't feel an obligation to reciprocate a single one!

they try to act so mature and demure (don't understand why this word is suddenly popular but whatever. it's a nice word) but in reality they're bitter, mean and jealous. this shows in every post they make about gwyn, even ones that claim to be neutral or like her. there's always this hint of condescension coming from them. and it's most obvious with them creating multiple troll accounts to... what? show the world they're a loser? i mean, to each their own but at least my ships occupy me enough so i don't have to waste my time obsessing over ones i hate

[soldiertf2cockandballs]

You already know what I’m here for. Hya/Amon + It’s Called Fool’s Gold For a Reason

thank you korbbbbbbbb 💛💛💛💛

[send me a ship/character + a title and i’ll tell you what the fic will be about]

tbh all my mind can think of is the fiancé au—which, for the uninitiated is one of the quads of different ways amon and hya’s relationship can go. paramour canon is obvs hya is rich x amon is poor, and i kinda swap the roles around for the quad to see how their dynamic would be (because they’re all canonically possible tm). the fiancé au is the au where BOTH amon and hya are rich and the gist of that universe is that they meet each other at a ball and amon essentially becomes infatuated with hya at first sight and spends most of his time concocting schemes to woo him and hya being extremely over the situation. it’s much more rom com esque than my other aus for them.

N E WAY

i think this particular fic would be after (or about) the third time amon proposes to hya. it’s not a third time’s the charm scenario, but its with each subsequent proposal, he and hya have made progress in getting to know one another more. the first time amon proposes it’s very on a whim, they barely know each other and all amon has to say for himself is financial assets but mostly you’re hot and he isn’t that hurt when hya turns him down. second time, they’ve gotten closer some, but he still isn’t Really hurt when hya rejects him. the third time though comes after some substantial time has passed and they’ve spent probably several months now Really getting to know one another. they’ve danced, they’ve probably kissed at some point, the attraction to not just the body but the Person is so THERE…. but then hya rejects amon… again. and this time amon is absolutely deveststed. he starts binge drinking, he’s despondent, he can’t really understand why or what he has to do to get hya to accept him as a partner, yknow? he’s just wondering if (because of his background, and mind you neither of them know the intricacies of the other’s situation yet; hya doesn’t know amon was an orphan adopted by nobility, and amon doesn’t know that hya is an “illegitimate” child—which actually plays into why hya rejects him this third time) yknow. it wasn’t meant to be. that he thought hya was this prized catch but it was just pyrite, fools gold, this whole time.

yet on the opposite end you discover that hya likes amon. he doesn’t really word it like that but he likes amon a Lot and he finds him tolerable and funny if ridiculous and enjoys being around him. but he feels in some parts that he *is* pyrite; that amon is silly to assume that his parents would approve of him marrying a BASTARD yknow? and hya refuses to hear that he’s not good enough for amon and in his Mind he doesn’t necessarily think he isn’t (but he does it’s just buried so deep and he’s SO in denial about it) it’s just that word getting out as well that amon tried to marry a bastard would ruin hya’s reputation and potentially jeopardize his financial situation. so it hurts but he has to say no and keep saying no to amon because he doesn’t want to lie to him. which is something tagetes suggested that they just lie and forge papers (which is coincidentally, how hya marries the keeper in actual canon paramour) but hya cares about amon too much to do that to him.

the fic would end with both of them in their own varying states of depression, not really sure how to cope or move on from there 💛

OOF this ended up being sad i really wanna write this now LMAO 😭 thanks again for the ask!!

[degloved]

saw: 8 + 6 + 16 and hannibal: 1 + 12 + 19 :*

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

i for sure had to sit down and think about this a sec, but i think i'd say the belief that lawrence is, like... a perfectly morally sound golden retriever boyfriend. yes, it sure is sweet to picture him romancing adam and taking his breath away with these grand gentlemanny gestures, but i just don't see it. he's not much of a dad, he's a cheater, his callousness landed him in a jigsaw game. gimme some more scheming, jaded, bitchy lawrence. gimme some straight up Not Nice lawrence. he's not an apprentice for nothing. i want to see this man put hoffman's stunts to shame

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

i feel like i'm gonna land into some hot water with this one YOWZA but chainshipping sorryyyyy... largely for the reasons above. this isn't applicable to everyone obv, i follow some people with absolutely delicious interpretations of the characters and the ship itself. but by and large.... yknow

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

oh my god i feel like this post is just me dogging on chainshipping IT WASN'T THE INTENTION i have nothing against it. but anyway, apprentice adam. i don't hate the trope as a whole, i think it's a fun thing to dabble into, ESPECIALLY if you're doing some kind of a dark!au. but ! in almost every adam lives scenario i've seen, if lawrence is an apprentice, so is he. and i just personally, in my own interpretation, do not see that for him

1. the character everyone gets wrong

hannibal. i'm sorry. also will, coming in second. but largely hannibal

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

i actually am not sure if any of the main hannibal cast can be classifed as unpopular because it feels like there's a little insanity corner for all of them, but i am deeply deeply obsessed with freddie lounds. this woman regularly bullied a serial killer, an up-and-coming serial killer, head of the fbi, many other important people, and got to walk away unschated. her power?

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

there is this one specific scenario/scene i rotate around my head sometimes. will/bedelia hatesex THERE I SAID IT. I SAID IT. they would actually be trying to kill each other during the whole thing i NEED to witness it

THANK YOU for sending these i am hitting post with much trepidation

[choose violence asks]

[tohisprettyc00l]

Hello! I’m here for a toh oc matchup! I’m glad that ur open to writing them bcs I didn’t know if you’d be ok with any of that cuz I’m sure u have plenty of matchup requests lol

Ok so I can’t send pictures to u for some reason so I’m gonna do my best to describe my oc :’)

Oc’s name: Kai Maeverick Riverten

Species: Human

Tracks they’re in at hexide: Oracle and bard

Gender: Non-binary

Sexuality: Bisexual

Palisman: Female Cardinal

Age: 15

Likes: Puzzles, anime, video games, nature, music, daydreaming, riddles, escape rooms, magic, fantasy, sci-fi, cats, dogs, animals in general, cryptids, exploring abandoned buildings, collecting weird/antique objects, stuffed animals, zombie movies, Disney movies, space, playing the guitar, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, bad jokes, puns, sarcasm, shiny things, creepy stories, conspiracy theories, listening to missing person podcasts, true crime cases, Scooby Doo, Ghostbusters.

Kai has short black hair with a side cut with hair that was swept to the left, pale skin, dark purple eyebags, blue and hazel heterochromia, a sharp (ish?) jawline, a thin face with the slightest hint of cheek bones, and a round nose with a slight dent in it because of their square blue glasses that had a few tiny cracks in the frame.

Kai is kind of like Luz’s older sibling

Kai and their mom live with Camila after their mom divorced her dad, and has basically been Luz‘s childhood friend/sibling figure

Kai is usually very quiet and never really speaks, but whenever they do their usually saying something sarcastic or smug, but they’re secretly very kind and compassionate towards people they are close to (such as Luz)

Kai loves Luz like a sister, but also resents her because people in the demon realm always seem to prefer her over them

Kai usually hangs out with Hooty a lot since they’re both attention deprived, and once Lilith came along, they became a trio instead of a duo

Eda prefers Luz over Kai, which is another reason why they hang out with Lilith a lot, because she doesn’t play favorites

Kai is the more pessimistic one, and always focuses on the negative instead of a positive

Kai is also an over thinker, constantly wondering if Luz doesn’t need them anymore because of her new friends or if everybody secretly hates them

The reason why Kai doesn’t have any friends in the human realm was because of their interest in true crime and missing person cases, everybody found it weird and creepy when they were just interested in it

Kai is good at giving advice and helping people

Kai is extremely selfless and doesn’t focus on their own well-being that often

Kai’s father was abusive towards them, which is why their mother divorced him

Kai loves studying things about the Boiling Isles, which is what they do most of the time since nobody really hangs out with them

Kai has insomnia

Kai likes exploring the Boiling Isles with portable Hooty

I hope this wasn’t too much info/not enough info for ya! I don’t wanna overwhelm you :)

I match them with: Willow Park!

-Willow would solve puzzles with them.

-Obv with them liking nature and her liking plants and all that.

-Also to expand on that last one of liking nature not only does she like plants she loves animals of all types.

-Girl collects stuff animals.

-Okay I'm sorry that I keep bringing my ships into this but I ship huntlow, so I guess she just has a thing for Luz's older siblings.

-Idk why and canon literally disproves this in a way but I feel like Willow gravitates toward quiet people. (I know she is best friends with Luz and Gus 2 outgoing people but trust me on this one-)

-Willow treats Kai and Luz on the same level ( Okay she's Kai's girlfriend in this but she doesn't favor one in general yk?)

-Willow would reassure them, bro. She is literally known for being the person who cheers her friends up, I think it's called mom friend but I really don't know.

-If you don't have at least one "weird" interest you can't be friends with Willow actually.

-Honestly, they both seem to have their own problems but focus on others. So they just go in a circle of trying to help each other overcome their problems while not fixing their own.

-She would try to help them with their insomnia.

-Also I might be misremembering but (excluding Lilith) of all the characters who talk about Hooty she's the nicest. She makes one off-handed comment. So she'd be able to get along with Hooty.

I hope you like this! Sorry, it took so long also I didn't proofread this so I'm SO sorry if I misgendered them by accident tell me if I did so I can fix it.

PLEASE say more about whumpy zuko waiting outside peoples tents PLEASE

tumblr not sending notifications for asks has got to be the most annoying non-feature on this terrible webbed site i’m sorry i didn’t see this until now !!

i was thinking about how zuko definitely has nightmares bc. there’s no way that he doesn’t. and i can’t remember if it’s canon and how there’s the scene in southern raiders obv but i’m more thinking abt his reuniting with iroh. both times he waits until they wake up to say his thing. an arguably very important thing. (katara’s probably should have waited until the morning but iroh’s definitely shouldn’t have imo).

in southern raiders when zuko says i waited out here all night he looks completely normal, compared to katara’s spending the night awake on appa which leaves her with giant visible eye bags. zuko even tells her to go to bed despite doing the same thing the night before. all pointing to he probably pulls all nighters a lot! he’s apparently very used to it!

okay evidence out of the way i was just thinking about baby zuko on the wani having a nightmare, waking up in the dark alone on a ship full of adults he doesn’t know, going to his uncles room just to not be alone, but once he gets there getting scared to wake him up, or thinking it’s not worth it to make him get up just so he can tell zuko to go back to sleep.

so he sits curled up outside his door until the morning, trying to be as close as possible without opening the door (which would make a loud noise bc metal and wake him up). getting used to sitting outside his door all night after he has a nightmare.

as he gets older i’m sure it becomes less about being scared and more about pride, or if it is about being scared it’s less about “i’m a kid and it’s dark” and more about “my dad was a dick and you’re not but also you could be”. he doesn’t seek out comfort. because that’s way too vulnerable. but he’ll sit outside iroh’s room as long as he doesn’t notice.

in terms of the gaang i can see western air temple/firebending masters zuko waking up and getting really sad/lonely that he doesn’t have someone to sit near. and post-boiling rock (sorry i’m zukka agendaing) sokka’s like dude what are you doing outside my tent i can see your shadow what do you Want. cue ten minutes of needling before he gets out with it and sokka’s like oh. why didn’t you ask to come inside?? it’s cold out??

and zuko finally gets to actually Talk to someone in the middle of the night and even once sokka goes back to sleep he for the first time doesn’t have that Icky Nightmare Residue and can just. be

[gojonanami]

...give anyone the right to come onto a page and spew hatred.

i agree completely. it's a given.

especially when they came back and tried to send multiple asks saying even more hateful things and ALSO went into my followers’ askboxs just to say more hate ridden things.

that is horrible. i am so sorry.

isn't it obvious that an interpreter's cultural and educational background, identity, views and the people around them will influence the interpretations that they will come to?

i agree with this take. and it makes sense.

at the end of the day, we should just be kind to one another.

personally, i don't see satoru and suguru's relationship as being romantic, but i don't care if others do. i can just move on and it doesn't affect my life in any way.

there is no need to (actively) cause harm to other people :(

and receiving hate mail is really, really, really awful :(

i am so sorry you had to experience that, sab xx

you have a strong heart – my heart would just lurch if i received hate mail and i'd be tempted to just close my account for good because receiving hate mail is just so horrible.

your stories are so much fun to read and i am so grateful that i've had the opportunity to have read them.

sending good wishes your way.

no exactly!! I never came onto this page shoving satosugu down anyone’s throat (and even if I did, it’s my page, I can do anything as long as I’m not hurting myself or others).

honestly it was only recently I started seeing satosugu as more romantic than platonic and I truly think it can be interpreted either way. and I respect both choices (obv not if it comes from a place of homophobia). I truly don’t understand why the shipping of two fictional characters or anyone else’s life choices when it truly doesn’t affect you matters enough for someone be so hateful.

I appreciate it babe! I’m okay haha — I have a very thick skin so not much bothers me!! I try to treat everyone with patience and love — but the one thing I truly cannot tolerate is hate. you’re so kind babe, thank you so much 💕💕💕 sending so much love back your way 🥹🫶
