#but it's already in my fic so i guess i'm just publicly acknowledging it here

[maingh0st]

coming to the realization that i think i just.... made up the bit about salt stinging for the Folk?? i could've sworn that was somewhere in tfota, but upon review (and upon reading Kaye just. fully diving into the ocean in tithe), i can't find evidence for it anywhere

i guess my brain said "salt undoes glamour/ repels magic and is therefore unpleasant to the touch for fae" and i ran with that for fic. and you know what? i like it

[matchmadeinsevenhells]

In Cut Off My Wings, Luke briefly muses about the possibility that he’s no longer heir to Driftmark. Would that be a concern of Corlys and Rhaenys (moving to ensure the Greens have no claim through Luke) or would they aim instead for the Robb Stark method of making their forcibly married relative a widower instead before that could happen?

I guess this may feed into the worldbuilding, but would the Blacks treat the marriage as completely invalid with the Rhaena betrothal still standing? Like, Daemon and Rhaenyra have no issues with potential bigamy or being hypocritical when it suits them - so could they simply act as if the marriage wasn’t valid even if they would treat it as such if the circumstances were different? It seems like the people who would normally call foul on that kind of thing (e.g. the Faith) wouldn’t be acknowledging the Aemond match as valid anyway for a multitude of reasons?

(Ask is referring to my dead dove Lucemond marriage hunt fic cut off my wings (and lock me up), for anyone interested)

Hi anon, thank you for the question and apologies for the late answer!

I'm going to put my answer under a cut for spoilers for the fic and its potential sequel/second chapter!

First of all, when Luke is wondering about no longer being heir to Driftmark, he's not exactly thinking very rationally, considering the entire situation. Speaking in more general terms, the plan the Lannisters had with Sansa (getting her pregnant with a Lannister child who would have a claim to Winterfell and the North) is obviously not what is going to be possible here—I would say this particular mess is, if anything, closer to the whole Ramsay Bolton and Lady Hornwood thing (yikes!), except that Aemond himself has very little interest in Driftmark and ALL the interest in Luke staying alive, and the Velaryon succession is much more secure than the Hornwood one anyway. (The Greens claiming Driftmark through Luke would, if at all, become a possibility far later down the line, if the Greens happened to win against the Blacks and then wanted to have Driftmark be ruled by someone loyal to them/Aemond. In which case I think absolutely No One would enjoy convincing Aemond that Luke needs to sire trueborn heirs on a noble wife... but that's VERY hypothetical.)

... I also think Rhaenys would still very much like Aemond to come and try to claim Driftmark in Luke's name, if only so she and Meleys and her husband's fleet can tear Vhagar from the sky :) Because yes, Corlys, Rhaenys, Rhaenyra, Daemon and Co. are all VERY firmly on board with the Robb Stark method of widowing their forcibly married relative. So there won't be any formal disinheriting Luke from their side anytime soon, no!

Which totally goes along with the Blacks not formally acknowledging this "marriage" as valid, yup. Literally everyone in Westeros will be side-eyeing this marriage hunt VERY hard already, and Rhaenyra and Daemon will have absolutely no qualms leaning into that, proclaiming it as completely invalid based on a few things: the preexisting betrothal to Rhaena; the fact that no family nor a Valyrian priest was there to witness it; Arrax' death; the overall brutality of it; and both Aemond and Borros not-technically-but-definitely-in-spirit breaking guest right by attacking an envoy/allowing an envoy to be attacked like this, etc. (It's unfortunately a sad reality of Westeros that the fact that Luke very much wanted NO part of this won't matter to quite a lot of people—it does matter to his family, of course, but it will likely not be a convincing argument to make, politically speaking.) If they happened to somehow recover Luke but Aemond was still alive, Rhaenyra and Daemon might publicly marry him to Rhaena in a "see how valid 'that' was? Not At All" way.

At the same time, you're spot on about the Faith not acknowledging the match either. At least no part of the Faith not actively held at swordpoint and under threat of dragonfire, because uh... in King's Landing... let's just say it's a bit hard to argue with the guy controlling one of the Conqueror's dragons, especially when his brother the new King basically just went "...haha, wicked. If you think so. Sure, I'll acknowledge it. Congrats on your marriage, bro.". The city won't be the greatest place to be regardless, because the smallfolk—shockingly!—has a lot of Opinions on things like a Targaryen prince forcibly marrying another Targaryen prince using ancient Valyrian rituals. Which also plays into the Shepherd with his whole "dragons are demons and evil" theme...

[pettyprocrastination]

You don’t have to show this but do you think Omera would have gotten more love if she was white? I don’t ship it but her introduction was badass. I’m surprised that Din gets shipped with white bread so much. One he didn’t even speak to. The amount of fics for that compared to him and Omera is insane. I’m hoping they give him a Latina or black women love interest just to see people’s head explode.

I have ZERO issue with posting this publicly cause i wanna say: yes. 

I apologize this isn't very well written and very scattered about but here are my thoughts. 

PLEASE know I'm not trying to shame any specific writers or readers, I'm just sharing my opinions about the topic. 

(in this I'm also gonna be bringing up Ellaria sand because this isn't something only seen with Din, its seen with just about all his characters)

I think it comes to three things that are very prominent in the pedro fandom specifically: white readers not enjoying content written by/presenting woc because they feel like it doesn't directly project themselves, having an odd animosity/jealousy towards romantic leads of pedro characters and flat-out throwing away the actual characterization of his characters just to thirst for him. 

Now I will say we do have to acknowledge that I know people don't enjoy that he’s shipped with cobb vanth, because they only had a day of interaction but that’s also a mlm ship in the starwars universe so some people would like to see the representation where they can so lets keep that in mind. 

But at the same time I kind of see the mentality of “oh, its not for me? nvm” from fans when the possible romantic character is a person of color because they cant directly relate/project onto them. Which you see a lot with poc writers who make fics that have readers/oc’s that are specifically described as not being white and getting little to no notes. while others making fics that are so specifically for white people with descriptors as such but not acknowledging it when people say “hey you cant really preach inclusivity when this is very clearly written by white women for white women” which you see in moodboards, face claims, and descriptors such as “you blushed bright red” “your pale skin” “your blonde locks” . 

another BIG thing that has a part is this weird ass, juvenile wattpad-esque animosity female fans often have towards female characters who have the possibility of being a romantic lead for characters pedro plays. I know it sounds ridiculous to say, but so many fans do have this weird, almost jealous mentality to female characters who are romantic leads/have romantic tension with his character.

Like we see other female leads in the Mandalorian get lots more love than Omera, because they are mostly depicted as having a platonic relationship with Din. For exmaple, Fennec, cara, and peli, I've seen much more content for them than omera because its almost never in a romantic sense. 

Hell, before gina carano’s shit went public people were always posting about thirsting for cara dune+ how she and din were best buds and loved the relationship between them. 

And lets be real, the amount of fanfiction that the reader is essentially peli (a starky mechanic who befriends mando and becomes a kind figure to the child, who almost always becomes a live-in mechanic on the razor crest) is astronomical. You could literally switch the perspective and slap peli in and it’d make more sense but nobody wants to do that because they want to be with din, not imagine him with another female character cause they get weirdly threatened. 

(no shade to people who write that fanfiction im just SAYING)

Its not just mando either, it happens with a lot of his characters who have distinct relationships already, especially with Oberyn Martell and his lover Ellaria.  He says multiple times she is the love of his live, mother of three (i think) of his children and always accompanies him on his travels, when asked if he gets tired of her during their journeys he says “never. We share too much.”

a good majority of oberyn fanfiction either doesn't involve her at all, or writes her off as a bitch to pose animosity between her and the victim-reader or simply write her off as “she and oberyn don't love each other anymore wah-wah” even though she’s is quite literally his soulmate. 

He’s also often written to become suddenly monogamous upon meeting the reader, which just seems out of character given he is an openly polyamorous, bisexual man that talks about the joys of living life and loving freely quite often. 

Even with Marcus Moreno, when the trailer came out for We Can Be Heroes, I would see people make posts about how they hope he’s a widower instead of a married man cause they want him single.

Now I know a lot of this fandom is straight women so I don't expect them to suddenly enjoy wlw-reader relationships or polyships (even tho they do but only when its two dudes and one girl who is usually the reader but that’s a different issue) It comes down to the simple issues of throwing away the basis of the character just to thirst for pedro. (for oberyn at least)

I know some blogs on here that have gotten anons explaining the reason they dislike Ellaria that are the exact same traits Oberyn has: arrogance, sexual confidence ect. Its hot when he has it but if a female (often of color) has it, shes a bitch for some reason. 

Not even gonna get into Dave York, who was a moderately enjoyable character in the film but his character in fanfiction a good 80% of the time is “i like to cheat on my bitch of a wife with you” so lets leave it at that. 

Now. let me say there aint no shame in writing smut. I do it. I read it. And i enjoy it! But at somepoint you look at it and go “this isn’t even the character anymore” and find it a bit tiring. As well as the lack of attention writers of color get in the fandom where the main muse literally a latino man but whatever. 

This was a very long winded way of saying yes anon, I do think omera wouldve gotten more attention if she was white. But even then people still wouldn’t like her because she would pose a threat to their reader-insets. what are you gonna do I guess lmao

[taeslovehandles]

I never meant to target you and I'm sorry you felt that way. You properly tag everything and adhere to the "don't like, don't read" rule. I don't follow you nor you follow, because we simply don't vibe together and that's okay.

But there are posts that are on the more "innocent" side that do represent fat people as a joke and it's like they don't even realize it because it's something so well ingrained in our fatphobic society.

For example, all the characters are having fun except the fat one or referring to someone as "twice his size" (like... If they want to say he's huge, they should just say it, not imply that there's a "right size" for someone to be).

I don't think authors should censor themselves, just acknowledge the role they play in how fat characters are perceived by the community they write for.

-🍓

First of all, since you obviously haven’t blocked me, you could have come to me via direct message. This is not a topic that needs to be brought out into the public eye even more than it already is. I have worked with anons before, I would have been the last person to reveal who you are. You could have made a trash account to message me in dm’s, but since you didn’t, I will reply to you here.

I want to make one thing clear. This will be my last response on the topic. If you do not like me as a member of the community please use the block button and filter me out, because I will stay. I have many friends here, and know that many people enjoy my content. Just because a small handful of people don’t appreciate dark themes in fiction, the contents of which they can easily protect themselves from, won’t make me falter.

Now, I want to debunk this ask because your ‘apology’ actually made me very upset.

I know you don’t mean it when you say you are sorry because you’re backpedaling on what you’ve told your friends and it really rubs me the wrong way. You could have owned up to your mistakes and apologized sincerely like others had but you continue to play victim and excuse your behaviour with tales of your own trauma, projecting your own insecurities onto my blog and thus hating me.

I know for a fact that you despise my blog, especially my writing, because you do not like how “obviously skinny people write about weight gain.”

Honey.

I couldn’t be any further from skinny.

I don’t mind sharing my actual weight, which has actually gotten worse due to COVID. I weigh 490lbs. I am morbidly obese. I have always been morbidly obese. For you to come and be “nitpicky” about a genre you don’t even enjoy? Why are you even reading my fics then?

The way I write about obese people, their struggles with literally everything… that comes from real life experience. I write this to share embarrassing and exhausting daily life tasks I personally struggle with.

A skinny person would never write some of the stuff I do, because they simply don’t know. They don’t know how scary it is to hear the line “we are going to a restaurant.” They don’t know how scary it is to go into that new restaurant, scan the chairs and think “Shit, am I gonna fit? Is the chair gonna creak? Is there enough space for the next table? What if I won’t fit?” A thin person doesn’t have to think this way.

And, let me tell you something else. Yes, I agree. The world is fatphobic.

In one of my recent posts I talked about movies and shows where they make fun of fat people because I hate it. Because it is REAL LIFE. And I am all for the body positivity movement and I do believe that all bodies are beautiful, because they are.

You do not know me personally.

And that leads to my next point. If you personally have issues with the phrase “twice my size”, then that is on you. And guess what? I cannot count how often I’ve heard lines like that my whole life.

“Oh wow two people would fit in one of your pant legs.”

“Wow, you are so fat, I could use your pants as a tent.”

So trust me, I know. I KNOW. But anon, this is the important part for me. Everyone processes trauma differently.

Inked ch3? Or literally any story I have written with a fat character being forced, insulted and talked down to like they’re dumb? That’s what I have been living with my entire life. Most of these stories, some obviously more extreme than how I had experienced them since it’s fiction, have been recordings of trauma I have went through.

My own dad force fed me. Forced me to eat food and gain weight. My first boyfriend was a feeder that manipulated me into gaining more weight and took measurements. Called me pig names and abused me. Hit me, manipulated me into having s** with him and then let all of his fantasies out on me.

I don’t make this shit up. I hate my brain for being so twisted now, that I actually find it hot and arousing. It’s weird. I know, but that’s how it is.

I’ve also never had friends in school. Not even kindergarten. Why? Because my “fat incased body could spread like a virus.” I was being bullied like JK was in Pondus.

I had hot water thrown at me, got glue put on my seats and hair, had my hair ripped out and even got a cigarette burn mark on my arm. Just because I was fat. Just because of how my body was shaped.

I was strangled and locked into a small locker for a night. I was almost killed for running away from my abusive dad from his car and had to listen to things like, “You are going to die when you are 30. No one will ever love you and your body.” That I have trust issues now and am paranoid about everything and everyone.

Those dark stories. I use those dark stories to try to work through my trauma. And yes, it may be absurd to you. It may disgust you, what I write. But sadly, most of it? Most of it really happened to me. To me and other people I’ve talked to as a friend or seen online. Most of what I write will be dark because the human species is made up of terrible creatures.

Fatphobia is an important topic, and I am happy the media has been slowly getting better about it, that people accept us more. But my writing is how I work with my trauma. If I can make fictional characters feel the same things I had to feel, that makes me feel better.

And I’m not hurting anyone with it. So how is it wrong?

I do not support any of this behaviour in real life. I never bullied anyone, I always try to speak up for my friends and tell people if they are being assholes. Because I hate them too and it makes me angry when good people get shit when they do nothing but breathe.

And how @pudgecuddles already said. I don't need you to advocate for body positivity and all that shit when you go out of your way to bully someone that may have experienced the same shit you have. I do not know you or what you went through in your life, but I am sorry. I’m sorry you feel like my stories aren’t okay to write, but this is how I work on my trauma and I need you to respect that.

I’ve said this before. We don’t have to be friends, or even talk to each other.

Just be neutral.

Block me. Filter me out. Pretend I don't exist. But, whatever you do, don’t make posts that call me out while making it obvious you’re talking about me, with the cover that you are advocating against fatphobia. That’s got a name. Cyber-bullying.

Have you hurt me with those posts? Yes you have, but I’ve never wanted bad blood. As you may have noticed, it wasn’t me that made a post. It was my good friend. Because I told her how exhausting it was and she knew about the posts back then.

I have a good idea of who you are.

I remember you.

But I kept my mouth shut. Because this community is my home and the last thing I wanted was for the people who like both of our types of content to feel like they have to choose sides.

In the end, we all rub one out to fat gay boys in a band. No user is better than the rest, and if there are topics you do not enjoy, there is a button for it. No need to drag everyone into it with posts. It’s exhausting and irritating.

Now, I do not accept your apology because you lied to me and I also do not feel like you meant it sincerely knowing what I know now after reading some dm’s. But I also won’t sit here and start shit.

This is my last post about this.

Please block me and enjoy the content you do like.

Nonetheless, I hope you have a nice day and a lovely weekend. Whatever you are experiencing or going through, I hope it gets better. Because even if you hate me personally for creating content you do not support, I’d say that I am a really friendly and nice person.

I do not believe that anyone deserves to be bullied like that and talked down in official posts. It happened before with a friend of mine and you probably remember that I did speak up about it.... But apparently no one learned from it. I really hope this time you do.

Insult me and shit talk me all you want in dm’s, but don’t do it publicly. No one deserves that kind of hate or passive aggressiveness. No one. Since you sound like someone that went through a lot of shit too, you should know better. You should know how it feels to be bullied and what damage it can cause.

I’m already depressed enough and I have bad lows. Let me write my erotica and just enjoy it? That’s all I want? I am a part of this community just like you were. You leaving because you did not like my content, is not my problem. If you cannot block me or ignore it and go so far as to read them and then rant about them negatively, what do you want me to do? I won’t leave the scene just because you don’t like me.

So, you either trash talk me in dm’s from now on so that I do not see it, or you block me. The latter of which would be the more mature thing to do. The more humane thing to do. Because talking behind someone’s back is just as bad.

Again, I don’t know why you felt like it was necessary to send me an ask with lies in it when I got screenshot proof of something else you have said/issues with, so don’t backpedal on me. I know Hun. I know already.

At least stick to what you said and actually apologize or, if you can’t, just block me.

But this ask? This ask just upset me.

Have a nice day.

p.s: The fact that this even needs to be talked about is so absurd and ridiculous to me. The whole thing is a petty party in my eyes that isn't even worth anyone's time? Do people on here really not have any other issues right now or am I in the wrong movie?

[incognitajones]

I'm sending on some positivity, and as you have done the 'say 5 things you like about yourself publicly' already I'm going to use it as an excuse for a character ask. In the light of your lovely rare pair fic I'd like to ask what you think Bodhi might say if he was asked to say 5 things he liked about himself publicly. (When you have time and if you don't mind)

PATIENT: ENSIGN BODHI ROOKPARTIAL AUDIO TRANSCRIPT, THERAPY FILE 3.4.7c2544

—kay fine, ESS-6, are you recording now? Shavit, this better work, I’m not doing it twice.

So last time you told me this was an assignment, which makes no sense at all because I thought therapy droids were programmed to be helpful and this is absolutely useless. But you keep asking and asking and I’m pretty sure you’ll kriffing report me to Doctor Harr if I don't—

Anyway. Here goes. “Five things you like about yourself” by Bodhi Rook, as ordered.

One: I’m a pretty good pilot. Most of the time. When I have an idea where I’m going. I can fly more than just cargo shuttles, you know. Might not have been much call for it on Eadu but I’m certified on ships up to cruiser class.

And I’m a decent sabacc player, at least, better than people expect. I guess I don’t look like the kind of guy who can bluff. Sometimes having a face like this can be an advantage.

Uh, what’s the polite word for stubborn? Persistent? Yeah, persistent. Maybe that’s why Jyn [SEE: ERSO, JYN, SGT, FILE 3.4.5v3452] and I get along, neither of us like to give up until we have to. That’s not always a good thing, though.

Not that I have much to share these days, but I try to be generous. It was a principle where I was raised, how we were supposed to live on Jedha.

ESS-6: A tenet of your religion?

Not exactly, but it was important. How many is that?

ESS-6: Four.

Another one…? Force sakes. Fine, fine.

[5.9 seconds of silence]

I don’t really sing anymore, but I used to. [wordless humming in the key of C minor] My mother liked it; that was her favourite. But she was my mom, so. You know. I probably wasn’t actually that good.

Who cares if that one counts. I’m done, okay?

ESS-6: Acknowledged.
