#and tik tok really just widely disrespects them

[ihatebnha]

One time I saw this girl advertising some smutty fic she wrote about a jjk character and there were literal minors in the comments thanking her like 😐 y’all some weirdos fr (1/2)

LMFAOOOO idk what the hell is up with tik tok bc the content is usually kinda okay but the vibes... fucking terrible. Idk like you guys are so awesome, understanding, and grateful here on tumblr but when fics are recommended anywhere else its always some weird comment cesspool of all the minors/inexperienced readers/weirdos (lmfao ur right) being like “THANK YOU!!1!11!!! IM GONAN GO READ THIS IN 0.2 SECONDS!!! YESS THIS WAS SO GOOD -gojospussycoghdrops” for fics that are usually pretty normal-tier. 

like... what?

like... you really dont need to advertise things on other apps and you really dont need to thank people for advertising them bruh... esp since most of the time *cough* authors dont want their stuff there anyway... and if people want recs, they can just go to the places where they’re actually posted and ask for them in a respectful and safer manner. its really just dumb to act or think otherwise. 

as for the wattpad-level writing (and i really appreciate your caution with this!!❤️)... its not even about the authors being bad writers, because thats totally fine.. it’s just often such that YOU CAN TELL when the authors are less experienced in life... and not even specifically sexually (because im a virgin and i still like to think that i know enough to be writing), just that they’ve probably read less fanfiction by others or don’t have enough basis to even write their own... and when that’s the case, they’re probably either too young to be writing NSFW or just don’t know their own community well enough (and therefore shouldnt be providing NSFW content for it AT ALL)... 

so i TOTALLY co-sign... it really is weird bruh... esp since now ppl on tik tok are getting bold and acting like they own tumblr. PLEASE!!!😩😩😩

honestly tho, this story gave me brain rot and im sorry you had to witness it sjfadsjk.... solidarity lmfao 

(this is why i stopped taking recs on tik tok seriously anyway... most of them are either bad or shouldnt even be posted there. if theyre good, ill find them eventually!!!) 

ILY!!

Can I Steal It From You?  Hitoshi Shinso x F! Reader

Warnings: Spoiler, sorta.

Summary: You and your best friends are playing a game of truth or dare, when someone suggests you do a rather bold Tik Tok challenge on your crush.

A/N:

I got this idea from the Tik Tok trend where you ask to steal someones last name, y’know like that one song but I don’t remember what its called lmao. The first time I saw it was from the Tik Tok user: urghurly. 

I haven't creatively wrote in a long time. I’m just trying to get back to it.

Enjoy if you read.

You stood by your friends, Momo and Mina, nervous and shaking looking at the purple haired boy across of the hall where you three were standing. The two girls giggled and nudged you to go on with their dare. “C’monnn y/n, you gotta do it!” Mina exclaimed giving her a shove towards the direction of the boy.

The three of you were playing a game of truth or dare, when Mina scrolled through her phone to find a tik tok challenged, grinning at you saying she dares you to copy the exact challenge: to go up to your crush and ask to steal their last name from them. Your face heated up instantly, knowing that your crush was no secret to them. Hitoshi Shinso, just transferred to class 1-B. You had a crush on him since the sports festival, when he used his quirk on you to get to the next round.

When you approached him after it worn off, your reaction was far from what he expected. You praised him, saying how cool his quirk was and how one day he was going to be a great hero. Since that moment, you saw each other around school and had small conversations, you would often initiate all of them. You tried to take any opportunity you had to talk to him because since that day, you really liked him. Not only was he incredibly handsome, his demeanor was so laid back, unlike many of your classmates, and you saw how hard he worked and how determined and passionate he was to been seen as a hero.

“He is never going to speak to me again.” You groaned as you hid your face in your hands. Mina and Momo couldn’t help but laugh at how shy you were being, considering you are actually pretty outgoing and rarely get flustered this easily.  

“You got this, girl!”

Before you knew it, you were pushed and hit something- No,someone.You gulped and looked up and saw him looking down at you, a confused look on his face and a small pink tint on his cheeks. You have never been this close to him.

You could feel your two friends from the back of your head. They were watching, there was no turning back now.

“Hitoshi…” you said looking up at him, eyelashes fluttering and an innocent smile on your face. He gasped as his eyes widened, as the hands he had used to catch you, placed on your shoulders, let out a soft squeeze. Shinso considered you a friend but you weren’t on a first name basis, not yet anyways. He liked it.

“H-hitoshi…what’s your last name again?”

“My last name…L/N, you know it…You basically make it a mission to talk to me every day…it’s Shinso.” He teased back, his calm and cool demeanor coming back as soon as it left.  

“Can I steal it from you?”

He stared at you, dumb struck and his mouth open with no words coming out. What was he supposed to say after that? “A-are you flirting with me, l/n?”

Before you could apologize, assuming his reaction was not a good one, a fit of laughter broke your and Shinso’s attention away from each other. Watching Mina approached you and snatch you from the boy, placing her arm around you.

“I can’t even tell who’s more flustered! You two are so cute!” She said with a large grin. Shinso just stared at the two of you, still blushing with a confused look on his face.

You left Mina’s grasped and stood in front of him, looking down as you apologize. “I’m sorry for embarrassing you!” You raised your eyes to look at his face. He’s still blushing. Gosh, he must think I’m so weird for that.You thought to yourself. “I-it was a dare! You see, there was a tik-tok challenge and-”

“Oh.” He cut you off. He was no longer blushing and his facial expression unreadable. Annoyed, embarrassed, and …disappointed? No, that couldn’t have been it.

“I didn’t know I was such an easy target for your joke, l/n.” He moved out your way and started heading towards his class, “see you around, l/n.”

“Gosh, he must hate me.” You muttered to Mina as you two started walking back to your class. “How awkward and embarrassing.”

“Y’know Y/N, you didn’t have to tell him it was a dare. He looked kind of disappointed, if you ask me.”

I most definitely lost any chance I had with him.

-

Every interaction since that moment was dry. You’d shoot him a smile and wave, he would barley acknowledge you, giving you the smallest wave and barley a grin. You’d go up and try talking to him and he’d dead the conversation before it even actually started. By now it has been a week since that interaction and you’ve basically given up on any idea of confessing to him. In your mind, not only did you embarrass him by having him be the victim of your little dare but you also overstepped a boundary with him. Calling him by his first name unprovoked, not even knowing if he would be comfortable with him and flirting with him when you two haven’t joked like that before.

While you were having your internal crisis, Shinso had his own mental conflict when it came to you. Of course, he knew you were powerful and strong, you were in class 1-A. Hell, he chose to use you during the sports festival because he knew just how powerful and beneficial you were to him. He’s also not blind, you were veryattractive. The way you praised him during the sports festival after he used his quirk on you without your consent caught him by surprise and he took a mental note of who you were. After that, he saw you more often. Shinso was the type of guy who kept to himself really, it was always you going out of your way to speak to him. You two were friends, sort of. He was too busy trying to prove himself as capable and worthy of being seen as a hero, he figured making friends and thinking of others was a waste of time. He had work to do, he had to focus on his goal. But you just kept coming around.

And after your little prank, you seemed to cloud his mind. You took over. Your laugh, the way you smiled, the sparkle in your eyes when you speak to him, the way he felt you nervously shaking as you called him by his first name. All he thought about was how he wanted to hear you say it again. He’s never thought of anyone romantically; he didn’t have the time to. And here you came along, with your praises to him, your attention, and your pretty face he couldn’t get out of his head. He had to settle exactly how he felt about you and what he wanted to do about it.

Walking back to his dorm, he saw you outside sitting on a bench in your athletic wear. You had probably just gotten back from working out.Now or never, I guess.He thought to himself before silently taking the empty spot next to you.

When you noticed him sit beside you, your eyes grew wide and heart started beating faster. He’s sitting so close to me. “S-Shinso.”

He gave you a lazy smile as he slowly turned to you, “Oh? You remember my last name now?”

“I-I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable or any- “

“Say it again.” He silently said before looking away and blushing.

You blinked a few times, dumbfounded at what he just said. He wasn’t mad? He didn’t feel disrespected by you crossing that boundary with him?

He sighed turning back to face you, looking straight into your eyes. “Ever since then, I just wanted to hear it again. And I couldn’t get you out of my head either. You’re really pretty, you know?”

“I-I’m sorry…you’re not mad? I thought I made you uncomfortable.”

“No.” he left out an airy laugh, “I was kind of disappointed it was just a joke though, why me?”

You took a strand of your hair and began to twist it along your fingers, a trait you picked up on when you got nervous.

It was time to confess.

“I had to do it to the person I have a crush on….” You muttered, still not looking at him and playing with your hair, holding your breath waiting for his response.

If you could only see the dumbstruck look on his face as he heard you silently confess your crush on him. He wanted you to repeat it. You had a crush on him this whole time? When did it start? What did you even see in him? He took a deep breath and decided to make a bold move at this very moment.

He slowly took your hand in his, intertwining his finger with yours. He took his free hand and lightly held your chin, turning your head to face him. “Tell me when to stop.” He studied your face as he slowly brought your faces closer together. Your wide excited eyes, your curious expression, the way your lips were quivering as he brought his face closer to yours.

Your noses were touching.

He was waiting for you to tell him to stop.

You never did.

Your first kiss was short lived, a simple sweet peck on your lips. To your disappointment, he pulled away as quickly as he kissed you. “S-sorry, first time doing something like that.” He whispered to you.

“Me too.”

And there you two sat, staring at each other both flustered and nervous. You had the widest grin on your face as you slowly took in everything that just happened.

“Shin- Hitoshi.” You corrected yourself, “Does this mean we’re….”

He smiled as he gently squeezed your hand. “Yeah, you’re mine now.”

I gotta thank the girls for this one.

Do you still think the appropriation of aave is due to the internet being an open source, tik tok popularity and globalization?

I do, though I admit I was more crude and less educated and open-minded in the past when maintaining this stance.

While I can't and don't intend to speak for black communities on this issue, just speaking as someone who's been on the internet (and especially tumblr) for a very long time, I think it's difficult to regulate language barriers on here. People from outside the USA likely have no clue what AAVE is, they simply see a word that they like and start using it. I'm sure plenty of Americans aren't aware of AAVE, either. That isn't to say people SHOULDN'T be aware and shouldn't educate themselves and do better; but that people on the internet tend to latch onto things without doing research.

Is it annoying and disrespectful as fuck to see some white chick string together "James Charles snatched my wig with that new tutorial PERIDOT" on Twitter? Absolutely. Just as annoying and disrespectful as it is to see "I'm a femme butch top vers demiromantic heterosexual" or the like on here. But trying to stop people is like trying to plug a broken dam with a piece of scotch tape. It's far too easy for people to say "no, I don't want to stop using AAVE" and continue on with their ways unimpeded because, really, there isn't much you can do on the internet besides hope they're not a dickhead and listen to you. I've seen plenty of men get offended and stop listening when people have tried to tell them not to use "twink" and "bear" if they're not LGBT+, it's a difficult thing to manage.

It sucks, and it's not right, but I do think the appropriation of AAVE (and all other community-specific terms, including LGBT+) is widely due to the globalization and popularity of the internet and subsequent interactive apps.

this is definitely gonna sound all gatekeeping but i really dont want people from tiktok coming here. like i dont wanna see any people's work being recommended - and most of the time writers on here dont even want it there. knowing how they react to certain ao3 ffs, they're definitely gonna make a huge deal about the dark content and stuff but you can literally just not click on it?? i wouldnt say its peaceful on tumblr - more like the really bad people are gone tho - but its like,, better than tiktok? i dont know i feel like im gatekeeping tho

i mean... whether or not this is gatekeeping (I really, honestly can’t decide if it is  or not), I do think it’s a valid cause for concern. 

Tik tok is an app that has an incredible number of minors, and i’ve definitely seen people refusing to take down tik toks featuring NSFW fic recs without posting permission from authors... so for those same people to come here and mess up the balance that’s already been established by not knowing the rules?

honestly... its not worth it. 

creators on here already have a hard enough time keeping minors from interacting and managing rude asks... so i don’t think a huge wave of fans from other sites would make this any easier. just as we’ve discussed about wattpad, it creates a situation where theres confusion and disrespect instead of the relative peace we’re enjoying right now.

Like obvs... tik tok people are allowed to hop on the tumblr train, and in fact, should (at least... one at a time and not all at once)!! but they shouldnt do it because tik tok told them to it (that just creates a mess)... they should do it bc they’re interested in learning about how to navigate tumblr PROPERLY and genuinely want to support the people writing. I was honestly super surprised how well managed age limits were when I first joined the bnha fandom, and thats something that shouldn’t be trampled on or ignored... bc if it is, content WILL stop being produced. 

Idk.. it’s just hard bc its like... things would be fun with more ppl... but since the people on tik tok have already proven themselves of being disrespectful to tumblr creators and the widespread and widely-known rules that we have here, you’re right for wanting to gatekeep. like... it’s really not some 16 year old tik tokers place to speak on what goes on here... at least, not until they’ve been in the tumblr fanfiction community for a little while and understand how it works (and respect it too, ofc)... 

but anyway.. who knows, really... though i’m inclined to agree with you!! honestly, it’s just not fair bc either way we’re the ones who end up suffering.  

ily!!
