You can take Wesley and Lilah and spin them off as leads of their own show post... I dunno, mid-S4, let's say (maybe Wesley and Lilah leave L.A. after the Beast attacks W&H, you can decide exactly when they leave).

Are there any other buffyverse characters, major or minor or just one-episode characters that would be significant characters on this spin-off as well? What would the general premise be?

Okay, I've decided I'm going to answer this instead of finishing my little gifset (which has literally been talking over my mind all day). I don't know if this was the initial intention of "you can take Wesley and Lilah and spin them off as leads of their own show..." but I really think I read it wrong as took it as a compliment? <3 I really need to came down, lol I swear that is all I ever do. They're the leads of my blog FOR SURE.

(I'm going to put it under the cut because I know it's going to be long and embarrassing)

It's actually funny you should propose this because ever since I was little some bit of my brain decided they did run away together?? I wasn't even really over the beast but they did end up together in my little childhood brain and have been together ever since. Just doing whatever they want and being in love. But honestly, as I have gotten back on the Weslah train I have thought a lot more deeply about this.

I think leaving after the beasts attack is obviously ideal but I also think it is possible after everything has happened. Even though they are dead and serving W&H, who is to to say they can't just fuck-off and leave anyway leading their best undead lives???? I also think they would travel a lot and just be normal about things? Like have a normal life; breakfast in the morning, going to the movies, late night drives on Wesley's motorcycle. I even would want them to be married, nothing big or anything - just at a courthouse and I think Linsey would send Lilah an anonymous note congratulating her (I swear to god I am only sappy and dumb for them, okay?)

It sounds silly and so plain but I just want them to have it all and that would be enough for me. I also think Virginia would be part of it too because I have this little idea in my head that she and Wesley had been in touch and writing letters back and forth. I would want everyone in the buffyverse to be part of it in some way, just to see how far the pair of them have come. And at some point Faith shows up at their door and crashes with them for a few years.

I also have it in my mind that Cordelia bargained with the Powers and everyone got a do-over (because I am a sucker for the early seasons where everyone was alive and together and happy). And at one point the group is trying to figure out where Wesley is and what happened to him, and they go to his house and see him and Lilah cooking breakfast and they see how happy they are together so they just leave him be (but at some point, they all do come together again even if things still are not the same (because I literally have an entire inner workings of Wesley and his trauma and my trauma and even if everything is good it will just not be the same, you know?) But Wesley still helps out from time to time with cases and everyone does get together for major holidays or whatever.

I may or may not be making any sense right now and I know this is becoming very long.

I feel like I should be really embarrassed for what I'm about to say (as I also proceed to tell you with nothing but a NORMAL amount of joy in my heart), but there are also two other scenes I play in my mind constantly and I definitely put myself in them.

The first scene is a court hearing against Wesley/Lilah, W&H, and the Powers; where Wes and Lie have to fight for themselves to be free of their contracts and to be able to be together (on the count of that dumb and pesky good/evil thing). I am literally the star witness in this scenario literally just so I can talk about how in love they are and I would have a huge binder compiled of various blog posts and novel texts, show moments as proof. And I would show my gifs, and go on a huge tangent about Wesley and how he saved Lilah (love saved her) from the beast and how he tried to free her from her contract and it should have worked. And then I would tell Eve that she looks like the person who should be getting everyone's coffee and that she's just jealous because Wesley's given Lilah more orgasms in one night then she's had in her entire life. In my mind and in the scenario I think this is so fucking funny.

Also, when I was a kid I didn't really have friends so I got super fixated on my favorite characters from tv shows and they were my friends. Of course I was so fixated on Wesley and Lilah so they were my friends and we were close, so in this last scenario I imagine us being apart for my years (and somehow not because my ban be from watching the show) and somehow W&H tries to trap Lilah into coming back and I'm going to be used as some virginal sacrifice (which is so silly and weird but it is honestly one of the few things I am good for). But things get worked out and Lilah saves the day (as my hero) because she is a strong and independent woman who doesn't need a job that treats her badly - she is literally stronger and smarter then everyone at W&H. And at one point in this scenario she fights the people of W&H off with a sword because she is a badass baddie and I will forever be in love with that picture of her holding the axe (it's a real crime she didn't get to use it).

I also wanted to add, though, I'm sure you have read it already: the tough get going (out of town) by thinlizzy2 is literally a perfect Wesley/Lilah run away fanfic. I read it a lot and I say it so many time but I get so emotional about the bit with the horses and towards the end where Wesley tells Lilah he loves her ("as his heart fills with pride in her for so many reasons") It is literally one of my TOP Wesley/Lilah fanfics, maybe third. Almost cannon ending because my top fic is til break of day and in continuity of things, that's my cannon ending for them (in terms of fanfic, I wasn't not going to link one and not the other).

[got-into-worm-by-mistake]

“But you have talked to her before.  She was there to hear Armsmaster talking about you being a wannabe hero, betraying us.  If nothing else, maybe the idea of getting answers about that will get her listening so you can move on to a real conversation.”

If Worm was a better written story... Okay, that's not fair, Worm's... issues are not really the issue here...

If Worm cared about taking more time with Amy's character, then what she saw in 8.7 with Armsmaster's confession of betrayal (which killed her Uncle, remember) and the reveal Skitter was trying to be a hero once, combine that with the reports of what Skitter is doing in her territory...

In a story that dedicated more space to Amy's character arc at this point, rather than just giving us our first direct look at her headspace in 11h, then I think we'd have seen this actually have an impact on her. Not much, but it might, come 11h, have changed her reactions and thoughts a little.

But Wildbow doesn't always seem to think about what impacts secondary characters might experience, from what I've observed.

UNTITLED WARDLEX FIC (It actually did have a title, I just don't remember what it was.)

This was ages and ages ago. So before my OC, Alex, was Natasha’s sister, I actually had originally written her as Nat’s daughter. Later down the line I wanted to incorporate Natasha’s canon infertility, so I had Alex as a clone, and then a genomorph (a thing that I’m sure exists in Marvel under a different name, but part of my brain is still DC by default) of Natasha and Steve. In the mission where they found Alex, Steve died, and Natasha was raised as Natasha and Clint Barton’s kid. Except that Nat and Clint weren’t together, they just picked him for his (comics) resemblance to Steve. So she grew up thinking Nat and Clint were her biological parents and that Matt and Laura were her stepfather and stepmother respectively (this was when I was in my Mattasha era.)

So fast forward 19 years, bring Coulson’s team in then instead of right after the Avengers, and let SHIELD fall like it did in canon. And then Natasha goes missing. 

Alex has a strained relationship with her parents at this point, mostly due to them not knowing how to handle her mental health issues years prior. This had led to her going on an intergalactic crime spree with Loki, who had ultimately died to save her which resulted in her getting caught. (This was the origin of Loki/Alex, which is my main Alex ship to this day.) She’s been in prison ever since, but she breaks out to find her mom, and learns from the SHIELD file dump about her biological origins. 

First thing she does is break Grant Ward out of SHIELD prison, and the first chapter was supposed to end with this exchange. 

“I’m told you’re SHIELD best spy since Romanoff.”

“Something like that.”

“Good. Because this time, Agent Ward, you’re going to have to be better.” 

From there it would be a roadtrip/missionfic where they’re both on the run and trying to find Natasha. (I don’t remember why Ward agreed to help her.)

Early on in this idea I had this thought that Ward was going to be another genomorph (I think from Bucky and Nat’s DNA) and therefore Alex’s brother, based on a buck wild theory about Ward I saw during s1 that definitely comes exclusively from a “fuck it we ball” sentiment and Brett Dalton sharing, if not a true resemblance, then dark hair and sharp features with Sebastian Stan. Anyways he and Alex were gonna have this pseudo-incestuous relationship where Ward doesn’t know how to have healthy relationships with people. Later I scrapped that and shipped them together in a more straightforward way. 

It’s pretty unhinged and I’m probably never going to write it (not because of the unhingedness, I’m just not vibing as much with it, I’d rather be doing other things with the characters) but a lot of smaller details of this fic live on in my writing today. Lolex, like I said, for one. Alex always has this weird rivalry/mutual disdain with Coulson in my fics and I came up with that here. A lot of my understanding of like, where I would’ve wanted Ward’s character to go post-s1 and how deeply I think his past impacts him comes from the characterization I worked with here.

why do you vagueblog so much? are you a coward?

Why do you anon so much? Are you a coward?

Also, no, I'm just lazy and don't care enough to have the argument, usually. It's called venting. Trying it would probably do wonders for your mental health.

Summary: Kylian gets backlash on how he's been playing and it's affecting marriage

"Luis (psg coach) had no right to say those things about me I've been working my ass off and I carried the team how dare he"

"Kylian you were selfish with the ball during the game"

"You're taking his side?"

"No I'm not, I'm just saying if you had shared the ball and assisted then you wouldn't have been then only one to score"

"So I must dumb myself down because people are jealous of me?"

"Not that people are jealous of you, it's that you have to acknowledge the fact that you are in a team of 10 other people, you have to give others a chance to be in the spotlight"

"I had to earn my chance in the spotlight, I had to work hard for it and now you want me to hand the opportunity to someone on a silver platter"

"It's called team work"

"No it's not it's called jealousy"

"Just give others a chance Kylian"

"I won't let that happen"

"If you don't fix up then you're going to be benched"

"He won't bench me, I'm to good of a player"

"There you go with the cockyness"

"I'm not cocky, I'm telling the truth"

"You're being cocky, Kylian people agree with what Luis said they are saying how you can't work with anyone, please my love you need to learn how to share the spotlight it's only fair"

"Share the spotlight with who?"

"With Ousmane for instance he hasn't scored his First PSG Goal yet and he's from Barça, how do you think he's feeling, people telling him that he made a mistake by leaving Baça and how he hasn't been playing well, put yourself in his shoes for a second"

"People in the team are lazy they have to learn how to play it's not my job to teach them"

"Kylia-"

"Why don't you mind your business huh why are you so invested in my life and the things I do, don't you have something else to stress about, God your so annoying" he says walking into the kitchen

I can feel the anger and hurt boiling inside me and I walk to my room and walk over to Kylian's wardrobe and start throwing his clothes out the door

"What are you doing" he asks

"You'll find somewhere else to sleep tonight since I'm so annoying"

"Are you crazy"

"Yeah maybe I am"

"Why are you doing this"

"Cause I can't mind my own business and because I'm so invested in your life"

"I didn't mean it like that"

"I don't care you said it at the end of the day"

"Fine you know what, I'm glad you're doing this actually, it'll give me a break from seeing your annoying self"

"Fine by me actually, and from now on you do your own laundry and make your own dinner since I'm so invested in your life and can't mind my business"

He stops and looks at me for some time and says

"Maybe it was a mistake for us to get married"

This makes me stop throwing his clothes out the door to look at him 

"What?" I ask

"Yeah, maybe we hurried into things"

"It that how you feel?"

"It's what I think"

"Ok, if that's the case and you no Longer want to be in this marriage then so be it, organize some divorce papers and I'll sign them"

"We can still make it work though you know, we'll get through this ma Cheri"

"Kylian why would you say that"

"Because it's true"

"So what you want to end it?"

"If we can't work it out then yes"

"Do you know how much I love you?"

"And I love you too"

"Then why would you suggest leaving?"

"Because you look unhappy my love, the spark you once had Is no longer there"

"But that's not because of you"

"I don't know" he says as he places his hand on my cheek and kisses my forehead

He picks his clothes up and starts walking towards the guest rooms

I slam the door and sigh and start crying feeling like my world is coming to an end and along with it my marriage only because my husband is so stubborn

It's times like these when Kylian and I get into arguments when I start to question his love for me and my questions have now only increased because he is thinking about a divorce

[cherryxcadbury]

hey! just saw your post. could you write a mbappe imagine where they have a child and him and the child try to convince the reader for another sibling. super fluff!! 💋💋

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!

2nd person pov

"Nicolas! Amour! Where are you two?" You called, waltzing into the sitting room where your son & husband sat.

The two were snuggled into the couch, whispering loudly into each other's ears in French. You tried hard to understand what they were saying, but your lack of knowledge on French did not help you in the slightest. The two perked up when they saw you enter.

"Cherie! Come sit!" Kylian smiled, patting the sofa, gesturing to sit between him and Nicolas.

You smiled, doing as suggested, laying back into the couch. Nicolas immediately climbed on your lap, while Kylian moved closer to you and placed your legs on his lap.

You eyed your two boys suspiciously. 

"What's going on?" 

"What do you mean mummy?" Nicolas looked up at you with deep eyes, full of emotion.

You chuckled, "Nothing. Mummy didn't mean anything." You kissed his cheek.

"I meant, what's up with you?" You shot Kylian a pointed look, who smiled sheepishly.

"Well, me and Nicolas were talking about what he wants for his birthday." Kylian began. 

You quirked and eyebrow at the both of them this time.

"Your birthday was last month love." You told your son.

"Yes but next year. When I turn four." He responded.

"Well," You said, turning your head to face him, "What is it that you want."

"A little brother or sister." He grinned, with so much hope in his eyes.

You smiled back at him but shot Kylian a dirty look, who just smirked in reply. He gently grabbed your face, and kissed you. It was a clear attempt to convince you to try for another child.

You swatted him away and turned back to Nicolas. 

"You know my love. Having a child isn't that easy." You reminded your son.

"Why don't you just go to the store and buy one?" Nicolas questioned innocently.

His eyes lit up suddenly, "Oh oh oh! Or ask Santa for Christmas next year, and a stork will come and drop one off!"

"Actually Nico, to have a child it needs more involvement in mummy and daddy's part s—" Kylian began.

You immediately shushed him. 

"Idiot! He's too young for this talk!" You scolded your husband.

"Mummy and Daddy will try very hard and talk to Santa about it. Okay?" You told Nicolas, who nodded enthusiastically. 

"Now come on, let's watch the film." You all directed your attention to the television.

Well at least you all thought you directed your attention. Not a moment later you felt a hand on your thigh. A thumb circling in the same spot over & over again. You turned to scowl at Kylian who just winked at you. 

You couldn't help but laugh.

***

Not more than thirty minutes later, Nicolas was asleep.

Kylian bent low to Nicolas's ear and whispered something in French to see if he was still awake. He was not. The two of your shared a knowing look. Words weren't needed ti communicate what you needed to communicate. 

You both got up, Nicolas in your arms, Kylian's arms around your waist. You had to walk only a few strides before you entered your son's room. Kylian gently laid him down and kissed his forehead. You sat on the edge of the bed and brushed his hair out of his eyes. You kissed Nicolas's cheek, and wished him a good night. Though he was fast, fast asleep. 

The two of you walked out of his room quietly, being extra careful when closing the door. A sigh of relief was let out when it was all done without waking him up. You were about to head to the washroom to shower and get ready for bed before you felt Kylians grip on your wrist. He twirled you around so you were close to the wall. His forehead against yours, lips merely centimeters away from each other. 

"So about that baby?" He smirked. 

You scoffed. 

"Aw come on cherie! It's not like we can't give him a sibling." Kylian protested.

You playfully rolled your eyes.

"Maybe I just don't want to do what's required to make the child." You shot him a wink.

Kylian cocked his head, "Amour. I'm Kylian Mbappe. Everyone's attracted to me!" 

You smacked your hand against your forehead.

"Contrary to popular belief Kylian. Not everyone finds ninja turtles attractive."

“Pleaseee Y/N! Think about how cute it would be to have a little you running around! Then our family would truly be complete!”

You gave him a quick peck on the lips, before strolling into your master bedroom, purposefully leaving the door wide open.

Kylian stood dumbfounded for a few minutes. He was very very confused. His ego also took a hit. You poked your head out from the door.

"Do you want to make that baby or not?" 

Thanks to Kylians speed, it didn't take one second for him to be in that room with the door slammed shut. 

*** Eleven months later

“Nicolas! Come see your birthday gift.” You warmly smiled at your son from the hospital bed.

Nicolas walked gingerly, hand in hand with his dad. Kylian greeted you with a kiss on the cheek, while Nicolas stood on his tip toes to see his new siblings. They were twins, one boy, and one girl.

Was that the plan? No, not really.

Nicolas’s eyes widened in delight while Kylian was almost reduced to tears. You propped Nicolas up on the hospital bed with you, while transferring both children into the arms of Kylian.

“They’re beautiful amour. We did a great job. I’m proud of you.” Kylian complimented, wishing he could take your hand if both weren’t occupied with holding his new kids.

“Mummy. I asked Santa for two brothers. Not a sister. The storks messed up.” Nicolas frowned.

You and Kylian laughed while he nudged Nicolas’s shoulder.

“Nicolas. Do you want to name them?” Kylian asked earnestly, receiving a nod from you in approval.

Secretly, you were a little hesitant. There was one certain name you had your heart set on for the girl, you doubted Nicolas would choose it. But his happiness mattered more to you than some picture perfect names.

“Hmmm, for the boy, Theo.” Nicolas started.

You nodded, you liked it.

“And for the girl. Lena!” Nicolas cheered, looking into your eyes with glee.

You grinned, that had been the name you wanted all along. But how did he know? Ah, of course. You turned your head to meet your husband’s gaze. Of course it was Kylian’s doing.

“I love you.” You mouthed to him.

“I love you more.” He winked back, causing your cheeks to grow red.

still, after all these years. That man’s affect on you would never change.

Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain) - The Lights of Paris

Day 13 of Christmas

Under the twinkling Christmas lights of Paris, Kylian and his beloved Y/n strolled hand in hand through the festive market. The air was filled with the sweet scent of roasted chestnuts and the joyful melodies of holiday carols. "So, first Christmas in Paris. What better way to spend it than walking around with me under sparkly lights, eh?" Kylian asked as he swung their hands around as they walked. Y/n chuckled in response. "I couldn't think of anything better." She gleamed, looking up and sharing a small kiss with her boyfriend.

As they meandered through the charming stalls filled to the brim with ornaments and trinkets, Kylian couldn't help but steal glances at Y/n's delighted expression. Her eyes sparkled with the reflection of the dazzling lights, and her laughter harmonized with the festive cheer around them.

They paused near a carousel surrounded by bright, festive colors. Kylian's gaze lingered on Y/n as she marveled at the carousel's whimsical charm. He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close, as they enjoyed the enchanting scene together. "It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Y/n said as Kylian rested his chin atop her head. "It is and it's only better when you're here." Y/n looked up again. "You become more romantic during Christmas, have you noticed that?" Kylian chuckled and took her gloved hand again. "Come on, let's go look at some more things."

The couple explored the market, savoring warm crepes and sipping on steaming cups of mulled wine. Each booth offered a unique treasure, and Kylian and Y/n found joy in sharing these moments of discovery.

Amidst the lively crowd, they stumbled upon a vendor selling handmade Christmas ornaments. Y/n's eyes lit up at the sight of a delicate homemade garland. "This would be beautiful in the apartment." Y/n smiled as she showed him. Kylia nodded in agreement. "Then we will buy it." Kylian smiled and began speaking to the stall owner about the garland, before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a fifty euro note to pay. Once the garland was bagged and Kylian received his change, the couple linked arms and set off once again, to venture deeper into the market.

As they continued their festive adventure, Kylian and Y/n found themselves beneath a breathtaking archway of lights. The dazzling display created a magical canopy above them, casting a warm glow on their faces. "I know, you say I get a lot more romantic in Christmas but I just need to tell you that I love the lights sparkling in your eyes. It just makes me love you even more." Kylian whispered, captivated by the moment. "You are very corny." Y/n replied as their foreheads rested off one another. "I don't know what that means and I don't care. I just wanted you to know."

The Christmas market in Paris became a backdrop for the couple's shared memories, a mosaic of lights and laughter that would forever be etched in their hearts. As the night unfolded, Kylian and Y/n embraced the enchantment of the season, reveling in the joy of love amidst the festive beauty of the City of Lights.

Sneaky Meetings - Kylian Mbappe x Reader

The reader works for PSG and has been secretly dating Kylian for a while. They tend to have sneaky bathroom or office meetings a lot. Warning: smut.

I arrived at work in the most horrible state ever. I was thirty minutes late since I didn't hear my alarm this morning. Kylian had texted and called me many times, still not waking me up. I approach the coach and apologize to him for being late, he seemed to understand since I rarely show up late. I followed the coach to the field and met with the players. Being an assistant coach has a lot of responsibilities and I try my best to keep up with everything. I see Kylian looking at me smiling, I smile back and wave him. Me and Kylian have been dating for almost six months now. We started dating one year after I joined the team. We've been successfully able to keep our relationship a secret from everyone except Kylian's best friend on the team. I was the first one who came up with this since it's very important for me to come off as a very professional person on a men's team and I was afraid our relationship will be seen as me taking advantage of it. "Hi, Kylian. How are we today?" I ask him and smirk. He winks at me and smiles. "I'm doing okay, Y/N. How about you?" "I'm doing okay, I ran a bit late today, I couldn't hear my alarm." To the others, this just seemed like a normal conversation, in fact, I was trying to let my boyfriend know why I'm late and not worry him. I sit on the bench with the coach and watch the players train. I began daydreaming out of nowhere. Kylian was all sweaty and had taken his shirt off. He didn't notice me drooling over him because he was concentrated on the training, but once he took a look at me, he smirked. I got shy and I looked down, he could tell what I was thinking. I got lost in my thoughts I had to excuse myself and leave the pitch. I went to my office and sat on my chair. I went through some papers and stuff to try and distract myself, but It wasn't working. I heard my door crack slowly and Kylian peaked his head inside. He looked behind him for a second and got in and closed the door, he also locked it. The second I heard the lock turn, I ran to him and crashed my lips into him. He deepend the kiss and wrapped his hand around my waist. He grabbed my hand and sat on the office chair and I sat on his lap with my legs to his sides, cowgirl position. "A little impatient I see, hmm?" he asked me knowing damn well he's killing me right now. I avoided his question and began kissing his neck, sucking on his sensitive spot. He slipped his hand under my underwear and squeezed my butt. I stood up to remove my pants and he pushed down his shorts. I went back to my position and now I took him inside of me, I held my head back in pleasure. I began to grind myself on him slowly, picking up my pace each passing second. I couldn't contain myself and I let a small moan, moaning his name. "Kylian.." "Shhh.. quiet, baby." he smirked at me and placed his finger inside my mouth, trying to keep me quiet. I was having so much pleasure, I completely forgot we were in my office. Kylian's size is very big, I get weak on my knees just when I think about it. He wanted to spank me so bad, but only squeezed my butt because we didn't want to make any noise. I kept grinding on him and he kept thrusting harder and harder, I was about to cum. "Kylia- I'm so c-" "Shh, cum for me, baby." I released myself and shut my eyes in pleasure I could see stars. Kylian picked my up and bent me over the table and got inside me once again from behind. I felt him pull out and release himself on me. I wiped myself and got dressed, he did the same. We shared a kissing moment before it was time for him to leave. "I have to go now, baby. You're amazing, you know that?" "You're amazing, Ky. I love you" "I love you too, honey."

"Good thing that after we're old and commended to Malek, you'll have eternity to get sick of me." he teased playfully. His forehead came to rest against hers for a moment, just taking a beat to take in some private time with her. "What classes do you have today?"

AoS feels like low-hanging fruit for the blorbo meme, so let's go with... Alias

Hahahah, AoS would have been fine, but now someone else can ask about that! (Unless y'all are sick of my AoS opinions, but hey, that's the point of tumblr, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) - Sydney Anne Bristow. I loooooove her so much.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) - Nadia Santos. She is a precious bean who must be protected and she deserved so much better than she got, her entire life, but her final iteration might be one of my favorite characters ever.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) - Marcus Dixon. He was SUCH a good friend to Sydney and such a deeply good man. He had struggles and flaws, and still came out on top.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) - so there are a ton of actors that had small parts and now whenever I see them somewhere else, I always call them by their Alias character names. Ooooh, let's go with the Dentist guy! (From my scroll through imdb, looking like his name is Dr. Zhang Lee. huh, anyway, he is the dentist guy from the pilot.) EMETIB.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) - Irina Derevko. Hands down. She was soooo problematic and controversial (within the show), and I freaking LOVE HER. She's complex and multi-faceted and Lena Olin played all of that gorgeously.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) - oooh good question.... Maybe Haladki. He was a jackass and I loved watching Jack scare the shit out of him.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) - See, now I'm torn. The obvious answer is Arvin Sloane, but you know who I hate way more passionately? Lauren Reed. That stupid bitch. I hope she suffered so much.

Send me a fandom and I'll tell you my blorbos

History repeats and repeats. People shaming others for what interests/intrigues them in fiction? It's like the 1950s when parents thought Elvis' pelvis rolls and rock music etc would corrupt their daughters into becoming delinquents and prostitutes. Or when Lolita by Nabakov was published and people thought it would send all middle aged men running after adolescent girls. Those complaining about Lovestruck "overstepping the mark" are no better than bookburners. It's a freaking witch hunt!

Well, Lolita is a mite different because the main character there was absolutely not meant to be a sympathetic figure, but rather a disturbed and twisted mind to explore and deconstruct, while absolutely focusing on how evil everything he was doing was (or so I gather. I admit, I have not read the book, nor is it likely for me to, but I have read various scholarship about it and the “discourse” it spawned).

Runa is an LI. At the end of the day, Lovestruck is a romance story, and so in the end, MC and Runa are going to have a more or less happy ending. Given that she’s on a redemption arc and there are still about fifty trillion unanswered questions as to what exactly happened when, what else she may or may not have done, and if that’s really the last we’ve seen of Kamila, it’s premature at best for people to be condemning the story the way they are, but then, lots of people do condemn Lolita (or say, to use a more modern and in many ways more apropos example, the Captive Prince - which I also have not read but also read a lot about) without reading the book or even doing any cursory research about it so…

But yes, they are a lot like bookburners. Their argument tactics are on the same level as the people who said that D&D was gonna make people kill themselves, commit ritual sacrifice and worship satan, or the pearl-clutching people who said violent video games were the reason behind mass shootings (which, as we’ve found, have a lot more to do with toxic masculinity and the vast vast majority of people who play violent video games have not even the slightest inclination to hurt others), etc. 

They’re on the same level as the people who say that BDSM is abuse and that consensually hitting your partner because they asked you to is some sort of gateway to like… I dunno, just randomly beating your partner? Because reasons.

Or… something? I’ve always found that logic especially hard to grasp.

The thing about Antis in general, and Runa antis in particular (who are, nearly universally, wlw or nb (or I suppose some of the more uncommon not of the binary gender identities, such as agender or genderfluid) people, because there’s not likely to be a lot of straight women who have played Runa’s route as of yet, nor many/any men of any orientation who have played it). They tend to be very progressive, and of a category that Christian fundamentalists would either prefer was exterminated, suppressed, or simply didn’t exist.

And yet, their rhetoric would not be out of place in a pamphlet by “the moral majority” or one of those fundamentalist Christian review sites, where they talk about what books/games/movies/tv shows/etc are appropriate for their good Christian audiences. (like that one website that warned Christian parents Florence and the Machine would make their daughters lesbians). They have the same basic theory of the interaction of fiction and human moral behavior as the most fundamentalist of Christians.

And when you, a nominally progressive person, find yourself echoing people who would prefer you were dead, or would at least like to strip away every one of your rights… you might want to rethink your position. Not that a broken clock can’t be right sometimes, but… the clock in this case is digital, not analog, so once broken it can’t really ever be right.
