Oh you know what, what the hell. Fuck it.

I wanted to write something for today. I really did.

I can't. I don't know what to say. My entire body is like in a state of shock. I don't feel anything. I don't think. I don't think I can.

We've been in this war for one long, long year. It's been a whole year and still there are more than a hundred of us still there, and only god knows how many of them are alive.

I can't make myself say anything more about that, and there's nothing I can add to these facts to make them any more clear.

And I don't care what you think, and I don't care who was here first or who you think is right, but there are people there. There are innocent people held hostage by a terrorist organization that wishes we were all dead.

And we will. Do. Everything. To get. Them. Back.

Now.

Am yisrael chai.

Lately Ive seen some awful things about antis and haters making threats and getting artists banned from Tumblr and X. Im new to the Phandom and love pompep but Im scared i'll be targeted if I write and share pompep fics. How do you manage sharing your work so bravely?

Firstly, welcome to the Phandom—and especially Pompous Pep! I have a simple protocol for enjoying a drama-free Tumblr experience:

Preventative Action

1. Find your community. Follow other Pompep fans and supporters and reblog their things. Don't be afraid to leave nice tags; we love and welcome interactions :) You can also join the Pompep Discord server if you enjoy chatting (DM me for details).

2. Turn off anon asks. This will solve 99% of all potential problems, and you can turn it back on whenever you want. Antis are cowards who prefer to hide behind the mask of anonymity. They seldom have the courage to say something with their whole username.

3. Block the obvious haters. This is a big fandom, and at some point you're likely to come across people openly hating on pompep, either on their bio, pinned posts, or comments. Block them. For an added layer of protection, add their username to your Filtering Options.

4. Tag your work appropriately. When posting, make sure your work is tagged correctly (the #pompous pep tag is especially important) so people who like pompep can find it and those who want to avoid it can block the tag. Use Content Labels when applicable.

5. Try to avoid using the platonic tag (#badger cereal) and the romantic tag (#pompous pep) at the same time. Some fans are really touchy about this. I'm not, and I think there are legitimate cases where use of both is applicable, but if you want to minimize friction, just stick with one tag or the other.

If you're not sure which tag to use, ask yourself what your intentions are with your art or fic. Is the goal a romantic relationship? If so, use the pompep tag. If it's truly ambiguous and could be seen either way, use the platonic tag first. You can always add another tag like "okay to tag as pompep", just to let people know they can interpret it however they please.

Responsive Action

If the above guidelines aren't 100% effective, here's what you do:

1. Don't feed the trolls. If you receive any negative asks in your inbox, it's important to NOT engage with them. Delete them, ignore them, don't let them get to you. Antis thrive on attention, so let them starve. Eventually they'll move on when they realize they're not going to get a rise out of you.

The same goes for any negative comment left on your work. Just delete it, block the person who left it, and pretend it never happened.

These asks and comments may come in the form of questions. Example: "How can you ship Danny with Vlad? That's [insert gross accusation here]" Resist the urge to answer these questions. They are not made in good faith. This person just wants to start an argument.

2. Report any harassment. If by some chance you receive a seriously hateful ask, like threats of violence or abuse, take a screenshot for proof/safekeeping, then report the message and the user if they're not anonymous. If the ask is anonymous, use the meatball menu (•••) at the top right to report the message and block the anon.

Final Words

It takes time to develop a thick skin and Don't Give A Fuck attitude, but it can be done. You are a phan. You have every right to be here and enjoy this fandom in peace, just like everyone else. Anyone who believes in harassing others over silly things like which cartoon characters should be allowed to kiss clearly has nothing better to do with their life. The sooner you shut them out, the happier you'll be.

Regarding media: Artists attract a lot more negative attention than writers for reasons I won't get into right now, but if you're mainly a writer, you will enjoy a much quieter fandom experience. Wherever you post your stories—I recommend AO3; DM me if you need an invite—follow the same advice there as I've given here: make sure your work is tagged correctly; support your fellow Pompep fans by reading and commenting on their works, building that community; moderate comments if you're concerned about negativity; block and mute users if they give you any trouble, and you'll enjoy a much more positive fandom experience.

There is strength in community. When you start making new fandom friends, you'll feel a lot less lonely, and that will give you the confidence you need to really have a good time here.

Wishing you the best, anon!

[daughter-of-sapph0]

what do you gain from sending cruel anons? satisfaction? approval from others? does someone pay you to do it? I never understood why you freaks do that bullshit. it's useless anyway.

I'm not publishing your anonymous ask. no one deserves to look at that slop.

it doesn't even hurt me. nothing you say to me can be worse than the pain I've already felt. your words mean nothing to me. you can tell me to kill myself all you want. you'll never be louder than the voice in my head who almost convinced me to do it.

I've already reached my lowest point in my life. I've gotten better. I love myself too much to let you take that away from me.

you, on the other hand, are sitting alone in your room and copypasting the same generic message to random trans people you see online, because your life has literally no value, because you will never do anything of note, because you're unworthy of any sort of affection from others, and you will die alone, unhappy, unfulfilled, unaccomplished, and your last dying wish as you sit on your death bed surrounded by no one is that you could have spent more time being a cruel heartless bigoted irredeemable cunt to people online.

meanwhile I'll be living my best life. I'll forget about your entire existence later this afternoon. I'll continue to spend time with the people I love, and help spread positivity to people who need it. I will outlast you. I'll live my life to the fullest while you rot in your isolation. I will outlive you. my legacy will continue after I'm gone while people will try and pretend that your ilk never existed. I will outlove you. I will be a reminder that your negativity and hatred is but a momentary stain on existence that will be washed away by unconditional love and support.

I'm no longer speaking to that anonymous asker. instead I address this to my followers, as well as anyone else who may see this post: do not answer anon hate ever. it's not worth it. those people do not care about your response, and only receive gratification from seeing you suffer.

I know a lot of you weren't online in ye olden days. but back then, we had rules for the internet. and one of them is to never feed the trolls. feeding the trolls mean they win. somewhere along the line some of them managed to convince people that blocking the trolls means they win. that's not true. blocking means you win because you'll never have to see their disgusting horrendous comments again. the block button is your best friend. use it.

if you get anon hate, delete it. block the sender (which I'm pretty sure now ip blocks whoever sent the ask), and if it continues, turn of anons, or even turn off asks in general. do not let them hurt you. do not engage. do not respond. do not answer them. they aren't looking for a debate. and you won't change their mind. answering their ask just exposes their slop to all your followers. and none of them want to see that shit.

remember that for every hateful anon message you get, there are 100 people who love you unconditionally and care about you. do not let the loud hateful minority win.

maybe what I'm doing counts as feeding the troll. I'm not directly answering their ask, but I'm still getting involved. but fuck it. I'm turning their hate into positivity. I'm using this as a moment to spread awareness to others.

if you're a person on the internet who's received hateful messages, especially if you're trans, I promise you that you're not alone. ignore them. find people who care about you and love you. I promise that the small annoying obnoxious voice does not represent the opinions of society as a whole. I promise that nothing they say is true. I promise that you are loved. unconditionally. forever. simply because you are you.

Coming back to ramble about twitter again and I deleted it fr this time. It’s already bad that bigots take any chance they can to attack black artists for harmless art but the thing that makes me even more angry is that people don’t know when to block and move on. There’s a difference between standing your ground because you know when something’s wrong and then there’s picking a fight with someone that already doesn’t care and only wants to get a reaction out of you. Black art twitter can never come together because people are more worried about hopping on a trend or getting the last laugh than they are supporting their own community. A had to see a mutual continuously responding and quote retweeting a troll and posting their own art as if it proves a point. NO IT DOESN’T, it doesn’t make them mad it’s just giving them more fuel to continue being assholes, hence why you block and curate your own space. Ever since 2021 it feels like people only want to hop on a trend over doing what’s important. Every time black artists want to come together isn’t because it’s the right thing to do, but bc they want to make racists mad and that’s why everything dies out so quickly, we don’t protect each other people just want to get the most likes and that’s why that space felt fake as FUCK I’m sorry. The people who stay on that site and continue to feed into that negativity need to stay there because they’re never gonna learn and as a community we aren’t gonna improve if this kind of attitude continues. Like I’m tired. When I posted that thread about my blacktober edits getting big bc of that racist comment, it wasn’t about the fuckin dumbass bigot it was bc of the dumbasses that use it as a joke rather than supporting their own people. That’s what I hate about twitter. I hate racists and I hate how performative people are on there just bc they think they’re in the right and feel like they have something to prove so they try their best to sound smart and snarky.

DNI

The following blogs as well as others have been reported for stalking/sending asks despite being blocked/smearing us on there blogs/mocking our posts:

sassykinzonline • sasori-rp • shisui-uchiha-rp • itamis-multi-muses • kushina-uzumaki-rp • naruto-uzumaki-rp • naomi-the-scrivener

Blogs that consistently stalk the anon blogs and their respective other blogs, know the full details of our personal blogs, and bash us while making silly posts on "how to deal with hate comments" while openly smearing us for not wanting to role-play with them. 

I advise caution when approaching those blogs as a few of my mates have seriously considered deleting their blogs thanks to them, and the Sasori-RP blog is very demanding. (A few of my mates were psychologically evaluated by Sasori-RP mod the first time they talked on discord, and Sasori-RP mod INSISTED my mates be seen by therapists after five minutes of discussion. It made them very wary of her from the start. Fugaku-Uchiha-Anon instantly blocked Shisui-Uchiha-RP because of demands, and he felt distinctly uneasy role-playing with this person) If you decide you do not want to continue to role-play with either of the above blogs due to feeling a strong sense of discomfort, you will be bashed publicly. I am amused they need to smear us because we were uncomfortable role-playing with them, matters tended to in private. No roleplay situation is a contract in blood. If at any time a roleplay situation becomes suffocating, there should be no pressure on anyone to continue. That was the situation with the above three users. We (especially a main anon blog) were feeling intense pressure to continue to roleplay with Sasori-RP and Itamis-Multi-Muses while feeling uneasy. There were asinine demands being made by them to live up to their standards and "" anon was on the brink of deleting her "" rp blog. "She" nearly did it, while dealing with a nervous breakdown. Her friends had to persuade her not to, and she took an extended break from her blog because she could not handle the above blogs' pressure and demands. I have heard of others blocking Sasori-RP and Itamis-multi-muses as well, for the same reasons (said in private). Many of you know what transpired on January 29, of the harassment and doxxing threats sent to a few of us. My mates have been forced to file police reports on the above users and others due to they still stalk us and bash us on their blogs. There is an ongoing police investigation. There are others who belong on this DNI list but currently they will be left out of my rules. 

The above blogs are very aware of the fact that we do not want to have anything to do with them and we have requested them to STOP stalking us yet they persist. They blocked a couple of us recently, but they did NOT have us blocked previously. They still do not have a majority of us blocked. Recently we have reason to believe they sent us Asks, of an unfavorable nature. 

Please try to understand. The above blogs' know about my mates' personal blogs. Blogs that are not advertised. They dug deep through our existing blogs to find out this information. And they made it known they know. 

There are others who are connected to past dramas which we are also looking into. 

Despite this post that @obitoanon has posted they persist in their stalking. We are waiting patiently for results with IP addresses from the police.

As an eruri shipper I wanted to thank you for your callout post. For nearly a year now I have gotten so much hate on my fics that I thought about deleting them, I haven't tho, thankfully. I found out about the spiteful troll and so I did my best to ignore it. However, the hateful comments my work was getting was beyond me because I hardly ever care what people ship or do and was simply minding my business writing what I like only to be told that I'm a jealous loser and I should stop writing Levi together with the "ugly bitch" (referring to Erwin) and that I should touch grass or slit my throat ... which?? And they made it sound like shipping Levi with a man was illegal or that the ship was inappropriate in some way.

I don't know who is really behind those hateful comments but if it's really her I hope karma hits her way very hard. Don't tell people to kill themselves over fiction EVER. That's common decency.

And about some eruris seeing you as an anti shipper. I'll admit I thought you were one as well. It didn't bother me as everyone is free to do whatever they want, but it's a pleasant surprise to know you actually like the ship and write fics for it. If anything, I admire how you can put your shipping goggles aside to write your analyses. It's very impressive.

Don't know if this is relevant but self shippers scare me a bit. Some of them have mean girls energy and I don't want to be attacked so that's why I'm staying on anon🙏🏻

First of all, let me truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for reaching out. It means the world to me, and I admire you for sharing your experience too. I'm super glad to hear that you didn't let the person leaving hateful comments on your stories drive you to delete them. I understand completely where you're coming from, as I've deleted stories of mine in the past due to an overabundance of negative comments. But I've never had anyone actually leave me death threats, or wish for harm to befall me on any of my stories, and to do that is truly the lowest of the low. Not just because it's over something as harmless as a piece of fictional writing, but just in general, it's never okay to wish harm on someone who's never harmed anyone else, or over something as ridiculous as a disagreement.

And yes, given what I've seen from this person on twitter, claiming Erwin is some "old man", they seem to think shipping him and Levi is tantamount to pedophilia, which is so absurd it doesn't even warrant a response. Erwin is at most maybe 5 years older than Levi? If even? They're both in their 30s. Shipping them is totally normal and healthy, lol.

I just think this person has some sort of raging, disgusting prejudice against gay relationships, and they view all gay relationships as perverse in some way. It's truly their problem, not anyone else's. I don't know either if it's the same person I got into an argument with here on tumblr, but so much of the language is the same, and the things they say are so similar to what was being said on twitter and a03, that I'm more than inclined to believe it is the same person. I can only hope my post helps inform more people about them and what a toxic, horrible person they are. Hopefully it will lead to them being blocked so that it isn't so easy for them to harass others. Though I already know they have multiple accounts here on tumblr, since they saw my post and started ranting about it on their blog, even though I had them blocked.

It also means the world to me to know that I've been able to clear up with you my stance on eruri and shipping in general. That was big of you to not be bothered by me when you did think I was an anti, but I'm glad I was able to show you that I'm not. I'm really, really not, lol. I love eruri. It's my favorite ship, and all my favorite AoT fanfics are eruri fics, lol. You can find comments I've left on too many to count at this point. I just try to keep it out of discussions which focus on "Attack on Titan" itself and Levi's role within the story, because I just don't see his relationship with Erwin in canon as romantic. I just think you have to keep the ship separate from canon because if you're going into an analysis of the narrative and Levi's or Erwin's role in it with some preconceived idea that their relationship is romantic in nature, then that's going to color one's ability to objectively analyze the motivations and the reasoning behind both Levi's and Erwin's actions. But I was never, ever against the ship, or against the idea of them being shipped. I think I got the reputation of being an anti because for a long time, I was being inundated with anon asks basically accusing me of being homophobic for saying eruri isn't canon, or anon asks trying to "prove" to me that it is canon and then getting angry at me when I disagreed, or when I lost my patience with them for simply not accepting my stance on this issue. And I think this small group of people then went around to other eruri's and spread to them that I was some sort of aggressive eruri hater. But again, I never was and never will be. I talk more about Levi's relationship with Erwin than any other character, and I find their canon relationship to be incredibly moving and powerful, and further, I love Erwin as a character. One thing I hope all of this will also do is make it clear to other eruri shippers that I'm not against them or their ship at all. I really don't want to be anyone's enemy, least of all eruri shippers. That was never something I set out to do, haha.

But yes, I'm right there with you regarding some self-shippers. Obviously, most of them aren't like this person. Most of them are normal and understand what they write and do is just for fun. But after "Bad Boy" came out, it seemed like the most push back against analysis of that story and its implications came from the self-shipping community, particularly people that seem to actually labor under some sort of delusion of actually, truly being with Levi in a romantic, sexual relationship. I don't understand that at all, because Levi isn't real, lol.

But they seem to get so upset at any discussion of Levi's trauma, or of Levi being affected by his trauma, because acknowledging that trauma and the impact its had on him ruins whatever fantasy, dom-daddy version of Levi it is that they've concocted in their heads. They like to claim Levi is some hard-ass, stoic, unaffected, domineering sex god, because that's what turns them on, and any discussion about what the actual reality of Levi's sexuality would likely be, due to the sexual trauma he's been exposed to, needs to be shut down, because it ruins the fantasy they have. They can't claim that the way they characterize Levi is objective or accurate to canon if Levi's sensitivity or vulnerability as a person is acknowledged, so they like to claim he's not affected at all by his past trauma, that he's just too hardcore to ever succumb to or be profoundly impacted by the things he's lived through. They like to imagine he's just come out the other side totally a-okay and that his stoicism and rudeness is 100% just a product of him being kind of a mean person, again, because they like the idea of being treated meanly by him in a sexual setting.

But Levi isn't a mean person, at all. He's literally the opposite of mean. He's the most thoughtful and considerate character in the series, constantly going out of his way to express his gratitude and ease the suffering of others. He's just awkward, like Dimo Reeves says, and isn't good at filtering his words or expressing himself. That some of these people refuse to acknowledge that the way Levi grew up, the environment he grew up in and the way he was raised, didn't have an impact on his ability to navigate social situations is patently absurd and stupidly unrealistic. It also undermines the severity of abuse Levi suffered in his upbringing, to deny that it had any sort of negative or harmful impact on his ability to interact socially with others. He was raised by a serial killer, for Christ's sake, lol. He wasn't ever taught how to talk to people in a way that would make them more comfortable. He was only ever taught violence and how to kill by Kenny, and he was too young when his mother died to learn anything from her, and he was also abandoned and left on his own at the age of ten, in the most cutthroat, dangerous environment there is inside the walls, surrounded by criminals, rapist, murderers and human traffickers, as well as just desperate people who would resort to plenty of bad shit just to survive. He probably didn't have a single, normal social interaction in his life until he met Furlan and Isabel. I would like these people to explain to me, then, how it is they think that didn't have an impact on the way Levi interacts with others?

He's an exceptionally honest person, too, and he also isn't someone who's concerned with being well-liked, so he doesn't try to ingratiate himself to others by acting friendly. But Levi never sets out to hurt anyone's feelings. He isn't malicious or cruel. He just says what he's thinking and sometimes it comes out sounding unkind. And we see, when Levi realizes it, that he tries to explain himself, again, not because he wants to be liked, but because he doesn't actually ever intend to hurt anyone's feelings. This idea that Levi is a mean person is totally wrong.

Anyway, I went off on a bit of tangent there, lol. Sorry about that. But again I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate you reaching out like this! And don't let these freak shows get you down.

[forwomenbiwomen]

hello, i saw your comment on a post and i was simply going to block you tbh, however i read your pinned post and i'd like to say some things. all of this is on good faith on my part, and i'd like you to consider it.

the reason that many people who disagree with radfems block or refuse to interact with you is because there is such a history of radfems harassing trans people and trans allies on this website that many are automatically on their guard. even if you don't have such intentions or have never personally showcased such behavior, most trans people and allies have seen so many radfems harassing and engaging in bad faith discussion that simply the fact that you choose to identify yourself as one will set off alarms.

additionally, many trans people on here don't wish to debate on here, especially if their blog isn't even about transgender issues. people use social media for different things, and some people just want to engage in fandom or aesthetic posting without reading posts about how they're wrong or stupid for how they identify. it isn't willful ignorance, simply a desire for a peaceful space. some of us get debated enough on this subject irl anyway

lastly, i'd like to ask if you consider if you yourself follow trans people and read their posts on these matters. not simply trans people who post memes or aesthetic posts, those who are outspoken and post about transgender issues. do you listen to us? if you don't, i think you should. (if you are often blocked though, you may want to see about using another blog. again, simply identifying yourself as a radfem sets trans people on guard due to a history of behavior.) you don't have to interact with any trans people's posts if you don't want to, but it may be interesting to look at them

as for myself, no offense but i find radfem ideology deeply baffling with how much they contradict my own lived experience. i have read yours and others' posts on the matter, however my own views remain unchanged. regardless of whether you choose to post or delete this ask, i hope you at least read it all (to justify the hour i spent writing this lol), and regardless of our differing viewpoints i hope you are well and having a nice warm drink.

Hello this is so sweet 😭❤️ I hope you're ok too!!!! 🫂🫂🎁 <- Christmas pressie

Yes, I do listen to trans people (quite often on this blog, this is my radfem one) and I want y'all to have all the rights to dress how you want, call yourself what you want, and associate with who you want. The only difference is that we don't believe you can literally change sex, and that the movement is sometimes at the expense of women's hard fought rights. I do not hate y'all, I'm literally just a feminist 😓👍 and I have trans people in my life. I don't hate y'all, I don't block you on sight, I don't fantasise about 'taking away your rights' or anything, that's mad. I don't believe radfems' intent is to harass or troll trans people, but we see the whole issue from such a different standpoint that the discussions get a little heated, and it's so personal it gets taken badly. And I totally understand just having an aesthetic blog lolol I would block me too!!! 🤣

I'm not dismissing how you might feel towards me or what you see about us, but I guarantee you now we are not a hate group. We do not form our opinions and community around hatred (for trans people, for men, etc etc. Our community is built around liberating women above all else.) Our intention is to fight for women/females (that includes trans men) because of our oppression related to our sex. It's so easy to get called a 'terf' because of acknowledging that to most of us it doesn't really mean anything anymore.

Anyway, I hope you're well ❤️‍🩹 you can ignore this or block me if you feel like it's a fitting end to the conversation haha but above all thank you for engaging so kindly. 🫶🫶

yes! winter always turns to spring was translated into portuguese!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

no but i've thrown around the idea with friends before (pax....mona....if u see this....hiiiiiii)

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

this is such a rude question tbqh !!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm going to default back and say merthur, because they were the one and only and a constant in my life for so long. (steddie and payneland make me so fucking crazy tho)

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

there is a steddie wip called "tightly hidden fists" i started in LITERALLY july 2022. it's still sitting in my google docs at 20k+ and i'm starting to doubt if i'll ever finish it. i keep considering signing up for a round of a steddie bang or something but i'm scared to do that to myself again lmfao.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i think i'm very good at dialogue, and getting The Voice of the character down. those things are usually what come to me first when i'm writing.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

for lack of a better word...filler? transitionary bits of fic. i overuse phrases/words like a madman, i also think i am a victim of trying to be too flowery when i can just, like, tone it the fuck down. are those weaknesses????

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

if it's easily translatable sentences (short and sweet, nothing too complicated) i put in the language in italics. (like, bonjour.) but frankly, i tend to avoid putting other languages in my fics. i don't often need to, and since i don't speak any language other than english i don't want to butcher anything if i can help it.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

probably the peter pan self insert i wrote many times between the ages of like 8-12.

20. Favorite fics you've written?

fields of gold mention. my love letter to bbcm. i'm also very proud of memoria, my 2023 steddie bang.

as a person who wants to write spanking stories but is afraid to get it wrong... please infodump all you like 💖

I have some great advice for you:

do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do it - do eeeeeEEEEEEeeeeeet!! 🥳

No seriously! Ask any spanko writer and they'll probably give you the same answer! Well okay maybe not the exact same, but they're definitely gonna excitedly encourage you to join in!

That's where all of us started - worried we'd get it wrong or readers wouldn't like it.

Even those among us in the BDSM lifestyle who actually do the things we write about struggle with it because it's not fanfic mainstream and when posting writing like that it doesn't feel like you're just dipping your toe into the water. It feels like you're jumping in, and it can be hard to just do it!

My biggest sources of encouragement and validation have come from communities and friends even before Discord and AO3 were a thing.

If you can, I'd really recommend joining the Discord servers I linked the other day. They're safe spaces to talk about discipline fic, bounce ideas, ask questions, post your own snippets (and get enthusiastic support for those snippets), read other writer's snippets, and make friends who have a common interest.

There used to be a lot more spanko fics and writers on Tumblr, but the p0rn purge a few years back ran a bunch of them off, and it seems that they've resettled on Discord.

I don't recommend going to Twitter with spanko fic, and if there's a dfic community on Bluesky or Pillowfort I haven't found them.

Posting snippets of your own in a dfic community can really get you over that hump of being afraid about your own fic.

They're super supportive, awesome cheerleaders, and there's experience levels of all kinds there so don't worry that you'll be the least experienced one there!

My last bit of advice on this is to read dfic even in fandoms you're not a part of. As you're reading, you'll figure out what you like and don't like and you'll get ideas.

But you'll also see that what writers are doing is just writing what they want to! It's kinda hard to get something "wrong" that's so personal and varied.

Even in the BDSM community, there's styles, practices, and plenty of other things that mean one spanko doesn't vibe with plenty of other spankos. That's why talking about things and getting to know people is so important before play.

There's no one right way to do it no matter what anybody tells you.

I've read dfics over the years where I flat out said NOPE I would never do this and I don't agree with it, but it doesn't matter! We're all just having a good time and writing is all fiction anyway!

Also as a quick warning, be ready for people to have a problem with dfic. Writers who have been doing this for years are used to it and we all have our own ways of dealing with the trolls, but people can be nasty.

My response is none at all. Nasty asks and comments get deleted immediately, nasty DMs get blocked, because we're all here for fun and fiction and those people can just go fuck themselves.

The most common troll comment I get is "those characters wouldn't do that" followed by all the reasons why and how awful I am for writing such disgusting things.

Those always make me chuckle because it's just a toddler mad that someone is playing with the toys in a way they don't like.

The second most common comments I get are from people who just search for spanking keywords, don't bother reading the fic, and spew hate. As soon as I see the first few words on those, I delete. If possible, I block as well.

There's no need for that behavior.

And there's no need for your regular readers (if you already have them in non-spanko fic) to give you nasty shit either just because you're exploring something you're interested in.

I mean seriously - look at it for what it is! It's bratty toddler behavior! And an adult behaving like a toddler to a spanko is a really bad decision because it only makes me wanna spank brats more 😈

5 and 10

Listen to me yap! // accepting

5) dash commentary

It's great! Often a fun way for people to acknowledge their mutuals' posts, IC or OOC! It can also help to really promote the feel of this place being an rp community. No one has to put themselves out there to make friends or whatevs, but still, interacting with your writing partners outside of just threads can go for miles. I will say that dash comm can kind of be a slippery slope though.

Sometimes, open commentary on something that's more so happening in private - so no one else outside of the characters in the thread should be aware of it - can make things very awkward, but that's where communication comes in. You can ask all parties involved if it's ok to make commentary, or you can just comment on it in private to them! Can't speak for others, but I personally would love to hear how entertaining what I'm doing with someone else is.

Lastly. When it comes to dash comm posts that are tagged as crack (so they're not to be taken seriously), I've noticed that people tend to...ignore that? And treat the post as if the character is being serious. That can put the other person in a weird spot. I've gotten into some "didn't need/want this but ok" situations in the past because of it. So folks, if something is tagged as crack or a similar tag, you shouldn't make a big ol' fuss about it.

10) anons

Definitely a feature that should be used, especially if you're the type that's too shy to send something with your blog's handle attached. Unfortunately, tons of losers take advantage of the anonymity to harass others / send hate. With that in mind, I feel everyone should remember that anon asks are a privilege and NOT a right. If you need to turn it off for your peace of mind, absolutely do it. The shy people will have to just step outside of their shell, send you things in IMs, or not send anything at all. They'll adapt.

I'm aware that someone who's committed can create burner accounts, but you can always block them. If they make a new one, block that too. To me, blocking burners is a small price to pay for not letting hatred flood your inbox.

Speaking of anon hate, I'll take this opportunity to drop a warning: there's an infamous troll / harasser most widely known as "phoenixissims" (that's the last blog they sat on for a long period) going around the DB RPC yet again. This post here & the linked google doc in it talk about this person extensively, but in general: if you get any weird anon asks that bring up Beerus, Vegeta, or come off as salty about the interactions you've been having with others (esp blogs who rp those characters), just delete them all and don't engage.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you so much to @citrusses, @danpuff-ao3, @tackytigerfic, @maesterchill and @squintclover for tagging me in this! I loved reading your answers, which is what made me finally decide to do this one. I'm really awful at these, and I'm stuck in that endless blank early period of motherhood where my focus is so inwards, so survivalist, that I've lost all sense of popular songs/films/sport, which is a big part of why I don't generally do other 'about you' type posts. So I'm also tagging @elskanellis, @epitomereally, @mallstars, @oknowkiss and @thecouchsofa who recently tagged me in other posts to say thank you <3 and I appreciate you, and here, do this one if you like <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

25, good grief

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

332,461!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Just Harry Potter. Can’t see that changing any time soon, but never say never. Meanwhile F1 will remain the One That Got Away!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Nor All That Glisters (111k, E, Drarry)

Kept in Cages (77k, E, Drarry)

Dreaming Skies (21k, E, Dron collab with @tackytigerfic)

When The Party's Over (5.4k, E, Drarry)

Among the Elements (8.3k, E, Drarry)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Embarrassingly enough, not usually. Basically, I got very overwhelmed last summer after writing Kept in Cages, because I pushed myself ridiculously hard to get it finished in time for Wireless (last fic in Wireless, but I made it!!) Combined with a lot of stress in my personal life, I then experienced massive burnout and had six months of complete writer’s block. Meanwhile, I got some really wonderful, brilliant, thoughtful comments on that fic, and I felt just awful and like a total fraud who couldn’t put a sentence together, and couldn’t bring myself to even respond. And now I don’t feel like I can reply to anything more recent until I’ve got through the old comments, etc etc. I guess I should just get over myself and crack on though, because I love getting comments and do really truly read and appreciate every single one.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I tend to give them at the very least a hopeful ending, so I had to look through my account to work this out, and I think this has to go to my weird tiny little dark fic Not Waving (M, 3k, Drarry).

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

As above, I do like a happy ending, but rarely is it unqualified happiness. Kept in Cages, maybe, because I like that they’ve built a life away from everything, and that it’s something that they’ve each freely chosen. Or perhaps Silhouettes (E, 17k, Dronarry), which now I think about it does have a rare conveniently-packaged ending!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet! The odd lightly offensive bookmark rating, but nothing that especially bothers me. I got caught up in the top/bottom trolling early in my time in fandom, but that stuff was so ridiculous I just deleted the lot of it and didn’t think of it again.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I write what I want to read, really, which (naturally) involves smut. I can’t do PWPs though; there’s a Tumblr post that says, like, ‘I’m going to write a quick PWP, the starting premise is that character A has lost their faith in god’, and this is kind of me. Sex in fic for me is a big part of relationship development, and so I usually slot in whatever works best for the characters from that point of view. I’m actually writing something right now that’s fast sexual burn/slow relationship burn, and it’s a very new dynamic for me, to try and take the feelings away (a bit, obviously they’re going to catch them sooner or later).

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I don’t really enjoy reading them, so it doesn’t really enter my mind to try and write one. I suppose sports AUs are the exception to the rule – does that count? I haven’t written one, but I’ve read some I’ve adored (@sleepstxtic, @citrusses) and I could see myself having a go.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

A couple, I think. Someone translated NATG to Brazilian Portuguese, all 111k of the thing (although looking now I think it might have been taken down!), and Nice I think got translated to Vietnamese.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, Dreaming Skies with @tackytigerfic. Dream come true, etc etc. I have to say, I’d absolutely be up for another collab with someone in the future (time/life/etc allowing, which is a big if for me).

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Drarry. Twenty-one years and counting!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Oh, I’d never say never! Good to always have something on the backburner, I say.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue, I think. And I used to think pacing, but currently having a slight crisis about this in my latest fic, so get back to me! But yeah, dialogue; as I was saying to @fluxweeed the other day, sometimes I feel like I write my fics by just filling in the gaps between dialogue.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Everything that’s not dialogue! No, I’d say probably endings. I don’t think I’ve mastered the art of ending strong just yet. I’m too keen to satisfy readers, possibly, or maybe it’s the dialogue thing again, I want to end on a quip or something, and it never sits quite right. I should really start looking at what I think makes a good ending, I guess.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Fine? I mean, I wouldn’t personally do it using google translate or anything, because I’d have horrors that I’d accidentally end up insulting someone, but if I know the language a bit and/or have someone I can trust to help, that’s fine.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

First and only, HP. I read HP back in the early 00s – a broad range of stuff, following the well-known authors (Cassie Clare, Maya, Rhysenn, Aja etc), but was always just a lurker, never part of fandom (was too nervous, and too busy with F1, which was a very niche fandom back then, consisting of about 30 of us and an unhealthy number of screenshots of Jarno Trulli’s backside after every race – I ran a fic archive and modded fests etc, but never wrote). Then when I got back into fandom, it was immediately HP, and immediately Drarry <3

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Don’t make me choose between my children!

Tagging: gosh, I think I've tagged enough people just in the course of my ramblings! Oh, maybe also @shealwaysreads, and @skeptiquewrites if you haven't done it, and the Aussie crew @moonflower-rose and @shiftylinguini, I'd love to know your answers if you have the inclination. Anyone who gets a tag for the post please feel free to do it and please do tag me with your responses <3

TW - suicide baiting; slurs

It wouldn’t surprise me if an Anti sent hateful messages anonymously pretending to be a Billy / Harringrove blog. This side of the fandom is pretty close knit, and anyone who is caught saying hateful or bigoted things is swiftly dealt with. Antis benefit from the narrative that we are a toxic fandom, so of course they would resort to anonymously pretending to be us in order to convince people we’re The Bad Guys.

I can tell you right now that none of the Billy / Harringrove blogs I’ve interacted with use the same language as is used in some of these suicide baiting messages. No one writes in this erratic manner:

A few times when I have encountered Antis and commented directly onto their posts, I received anonymous messages that were obviously bait.

For example, that post where I responded to that Wanda M/aximoff blog? I received an anonymous message that encouraged me to laugh about the user making posts threatening to kill themselves. One, I found no such posts on their blog. I take that pretty seriously. Two, this was how that user and their friends were talking to me at that point:

Note: As pointed out before, you can’t send screenshots anonymously. These responses follow the same pattern of other Antis accusing us of “not leaving them alone” when no one, including me, was posting about them specifically. That anonymous message was obvious bait, because they wanted me to comment on this user and they wanted specifically for me to encourage that kind of cruelty (suicide baiting). If I had done that, the above responses would have made much more sense - not that they’re justified, but this all seems like a very planned retaliation in response to the bait that someone had set for me.

This isn’t to accuse any of the above people of baiting me, and I don’t want to revisit any interactions with these blogs. I’ve blocked them, and I’ve mostly moved on. That said, I am a cautious person with trust issues because I’m intimately familiar with being gaslit… and I have a sneaking suspicion that all of this is manufactured hate in order to benefit Antis and their opinions of us. It’s too convenient for these hateful messages to fall in the laps of Anti discourse while Billy / Harringrove fans are having perfectly logical and reasonable discussions with people who may not like Billy but who otherwise aren’t harming anyone.

This is also interesting considering I was shadowbanned recently. I’ve submitted a report about that and Tumblr is working on it. I think that someone is making an effort or a group of someone’s is making a coordinated effort to orchestrate things like this. They could be an Anti or just a troll. Regardless, they want us to rise to the bait by validating or outright saying really harmful things about or to other blogs. When we don’t do that, they then argue that something else we said or did was horribly wrong even though it’s just run of the mill fandom discourse. As I said, Antis benefit from this narrative that we’re toxic and this is all too convenient for them.

I don’t believe for a second that these hateful anonymous messages are all coming from real Billy / Harringrove fans. We know each other too well. No one writes like this. This is all very juvenile. Be careful of the anonymous messages you get for now. If it’s anything like what I’ve described, report it. I report and delete any messages like that.

Hi, I'm asking this question because I'm genuinely afraid. I want to post art I did/I commissioned a different artist of Pompous Pep on my blog, but I'm terrified of others attacking me. I've always liked this ship since I was kid and didn't it was considered taboo until I was older. How do you deal with hate? Would it be better to post on a side blog? My main DP AU does have Pompous Pep when Danny is in his early to mid 20s.

I answered a similar ask here, but this one also deserves its own answer. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself from hate:

✦ Turn off anonymous asks. That curbs 99.9999% of abuse, because haters are too chickenshit to send stuff that they can get reported for and possibly have their account terminated. If you do decide to open anonymous asks at some point and receive hate, you can still report it. More on blocking here.

✦ Make sure you tag your post with "pompous pep" so those who love the ship can find it and those who have the tag blocked can avoid it.

✦ As you can see, there are quite a few of us Pompep fans here on Tumblr, and it's good to be part of a community. Being able to laugh off anon hate with one another is a superb morale-booster. (If you spend any amount of time on Discord, DM me. We have a server, and you'd be very welcome there.)

Bottom line: Haters will always find a reason to hate something they don't like. You can never "perform" purely enough to please them, so don't even try. If you age up Danny and Vlad, they'll still bitch about the age gap. If you make them the same age, they'll bitch about the "toxic dynamic" of Enemies to Lovers. If you make an AU where they've always been friends and are the exact same age, they'll still accuse you of Shipping Crimes™ because it's still the same characters—even if all the obstacles that made the ship problematic have been removed. All you'll do is wear yourself out trying to conform to their standards, so just say "fuck em" and do what you want.

Me, personally, I've been in fandom too long to be bothered by anon hate. I report them, block them, and delete the message, and I don't waste any more energy than necessary. I also follow the golden rule of Don't Feed the Trolls. Haters thrive on attention, and if they get no response from you, they'll eventually give up their attack and move on.

I'm sorry that the actions of an idiotic, vocal minority have made you afraid to participate in fandom activities. No one should ever feel that way. Just remember that you're not alone. Almost all of us Pompep fans have dealt with negativity at some point in our lives, but that hasn't stopped us at all. We're still here, and we'll always be here.

✦ As for sideblogs, they're great if you want to keep certain stuff separate from your main blog, but it's totally up to you. Just keep in mind, if you want to block anyone from seeing your sideblog, it must be done from the Blog Settings of that particular sideblog. More on sideblogs here.

I hope this post answered your questions and eased some of your fears. If you have any further comments or questions, you know how to reach me :)

[dirtyvulture]

Hi, this is probably going to be a mess of thoughts lol. I first and foremost want to say that I love the group of writers that write Nat x reader or any Marvel woman x reader fics. There's like a giant group of you guys that are celebrities in the writing world. And I've read your guys content for years. And you all are friends. Its actaully really sweet to see a community come together like that.

My question is how do you make online friends like that. I recently started writing a few stories in this fandom. And some have gained traction which i'm proud of. But i really just wanted to make friends in this fandom. And I've really havent been able to do that in real life. The curse of social anxiety amd having limitations. And i've seen alot of new authors kind of find their groups of people here in this fandom. Or be welcomed with open arms. But i don't know how to do that. Or even if I'm good enough to. And i'm just kind of like I need to do something different. Or my writing is just awful and I should quit. I genuinely feel like an idiot asking thats why I'm on anon. I am a grown adult and I'm worrying about something like this, like what even. Is wrong with me lol

I also don't know if it's because I don't have my anons on but everyone has been getting so much hate lately. And thats honestly scarey as hell.

Thank you for reading my anxiety spiral lol

Hello there! No need to apologize for anything, I am honored you came to me for advice lol

Thank you! I never really think of myself as a celebrity here and there are many writers who are bigger and better than myself but I'm happy that readers include me in that category. :)

I've actually made quite a few fantastic friends from being a Nat writer, and I've even met some of them in person! But this isn't the case with every person I've interacted with on here, and you do need to be careful connecting with people on online platforms.

Online, it'll usually start when I notice a particular user interacting a lot with my content, or maybe I really like their content and I'll comment or reblog frequently. After that, depending on the vibes, I'll move into their messages and some people will just ignore me or some people will respond back, and that's how a friendship starts!

It's the same thing in real life, but a little scarier because you have to react in the moment and can't spend hours crafting the perfect message to respond with. I'm an introvert, but as I got older I forced myself to start conversations with strangers, or say hi to people I've never met before, and yes it was terrifying (and still is), but the reward of meeting amazing people and becoming close friends with some of them is absolutely worth overcoming the fear.

But be kind to yourself! Personal growth and friendships and relationships don't happen overnight. If you love writing, please keep doing it! Maybe someone will reach out to you one day, or you can reach out too when you find the confidence or want to challenge yourself.

(And don't worry about not having anons on. I actually get a bit of hate/trolls myself, and sometimes I get really sad over it, but I've learned to just delete, block, and move on.)

Hang in there, anon! Life is not easy and there's so many challenges to overcome, but I believe in you :)

*clears throat*

I personally find it absolutely hilarious that within 24 hours of making a post against the bullying of JKR and the streamers just trying to play a game, I’ve been attacked by two hate-filled trolls.

After they berated me, swore at me, and told me what an awful person I am for saying that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I asked them to send me some links of what exactly JKR did or said that was so harmful and despicable.

Both deleted their comments and blocked me, but did I get any links?

Nope! 😂

They tucked their tails between their legs and ran like the cowards members of this pitchfork mob are.

*shrugs* Empty boxes always rattle loudest.

Bullying people is not a great way to gain support for your cause and fleeing the scene when asked to present proof of someone’s transgressions makes your derogatory claims dubiously doubtable......

So far at least, the ineffectiveness of this boycott has proven that the army of the constantly offended aren’t enough to extinguish the magic of Hogwarts for everyone.

Thank goodness, because I’ll be Slytherin til I die. 🐍
