Time to get some new peeps up in the BSD server if anyone is interested! Please keep in mind it is an 18+ server! We’re pretty small currently and hoping to add some more friendly faces to our server. We also have places to chat about other things and interests like other anime and manga, hellaverse, genshin, writing and fics, etc! Please feel free to reblog and share this if you know anyone or have followers you think may be interested and I hope to see you there! 😎

fic: until it all meant zero (seifer/quistis, ffviii)
Before, during, after-- Seifer and Quistis have been at each other's throats since the beginning, and will probably be forever.
For the Seiftis Forever drabble challenge, "you might not be afraid of me, but I know you've thought about me naked."

There is a wolf in front of House, and onstage, and next to him. They all have teeth, and he keeps his mouth shut because he doesn’t yet.
He’s in class, in that big lecture hall, but he’s also onstage, giving a presentation to students on how to treat a patient presenting with leg pain.
Hair shorn short. Military cut, like Dad. Wolfskin wrapped around his chest, legs spread, slouched down, hiding near the back, so he won’t call on himself. So he’ll blend in with the pack.
“Hey, House,” House calls to himself anyways, and meets his own blue eyes.
House onstage smiles. His teeth are razor sharp.
“It’s a basic truth of the human condition.”
House suppresses a bleat. Doesn't bare his teeth and doesn’t look away.
“What is it?”
Don’t reply.
“What’s the truth?”
He knows the answer.
“Come on you idiot, what is it?”
House in the audience won’t answer. Just sits there, pathetic, neutered, insolent girl. He watches (feels) his jaw work, smells the sweat, hears the blood rushing, the increasing thump, thump, thump.
“What is it?” he roars, stepping forward and the world drops beneath him. His leg gave out. He forgot his cane.
He looks up at the class and eyes stare back at him. All red. All hungry. He bares his own teeth. Wolves are supposed to protect their own.
“The truth is,” the wolf beside him says. House turns to where Wilson sits, chewing something. “That everybody lies.”
When Wilson smiles, his fangs are stained green.

That feeling when I'm on a discord server and people are saying "oh, avoid this fic author, they're a known homophobe and transphobe, we don't talk about them here", and it's an author who has many works that I like.
But then I go looking to see just what the author said that was so bad and I can't find anything? Nothing in their fics, no public accusations on tumblr or twitter, and googling their AO3 handle alongside "homophobic" doesn't even come up with anything. The only thing I found was a now-deleted fic with "heterosexuality" in the title.
Is that what did it? Were the contents of that fic terrible? And why was it deleted? Was the author tired of hate comments, or did they turn a new leaf? I don't know. I don't even know if that fic is why the people on that server banned discussion of the author.
I could try DMing someone from the server to see if they'd tell me, but I don't want to be starting any shit.
But does it even matter? Do they have any authority over me? Does reading these fics support homophobia in any way? Probably not. But even just knowing that the author may or may not be homophobic and/or transphobic is enough to make me feel a little icky inside.
This isn't me making some kind of grand "death of the author" statement. I genuinely don't know what to think about this or what the right call is here. (Or even if there is a right call.) I'm just trying to sort out my thoughts by putting them to words.

i believe that, not-objectively, with my perhaps skewed morals, will graham is a good person. murderer, cannibal-loving and all.
he is a good person but not because he is your pitiful little meow meow. he is a good person because he is flawed. alcohol problem? glaring paternal issues? a kid that grew up in poverty? he has tried SO HARD to stray away from what is perceived as bad. but he remains flawed, by his environment? maybe, because he is human? 100% yes.
us poor kids that later grew up and became alcoholics know what the fuck is up. a step away from a terrible mistake, two drinks away from a crime in my case. i'm probably not explaining myself right (3:21 a.m.), but i would love will graham to be portrayed as someone who is much more uncomfortable to read in fanfics. unhinged but not to a comical degree. unhinged in a way that's still hinged.
i need more morally ambiguous will graham, where he is a bit of a loser, maybe, but he is also a dangerous person (like all of us) with the potential to be evil (like all of us).
this has no point, by the way. i just wanted to say stuff that has been running through my mind.

ignore this.
learning to shut up when i dont have anything new to say to the discussions my mutuals are having about the treatment of the female characters in this show and fandom
even though ive just gone ahead and rambled in the tags a bunch of bullshit
#lohst.txt#they're all so right#because this fandom has had problems since the beginning#its always about the boys#the fics and the art and everything#and the fact that a large portion of this fandom is obsessed with the squip. the ACTUAL villain. yet would wish a 16 year old girl death#yeah. chloe did some fucked up things. yeah. dywh is an awful situation that was not handled well#(because this show has awful writing. you guys have been saying that already and youre right)#but come on. y'all act like the other characters did nothing wrong#if the writers would have cared to put actual depth into these characters#i havent listened to the source material in. a while. and i never got around to watching any other boot other than two rivers#i dont know what im saying#it was so easy to join bmc rp servers because no one ever picked the girls#did that mean i was left out of the rps? mostly. yeah#i mean. those servers always had the same rich and jake so we'd team up#but the jeremy and michael would barely give room for anyone else to interact with them#i used to have some discussions with someone about the flaws of this show and how the girls are constantly ignored#(back when i had sort of dipped out of the fandom)#anyway im never one to get involved in discourse directly#i support my mutuals and reblog art and post my silly little fics#mostly because im always too tired to put a lot of thought into any in depth analysis#(even though i have alot of thoughts on chloe and fairytales. which has nothing to do with this whatsoever)#everyone else has said it so much better than what i can currently come up with rn#but the way that the girls get watered down to one personality trait (this includes madeline). and are always used as background characters#the way there was so much christine hate at one point because she got inn the way of boyf riends#i looked chloe up on pinterest the other day out of curiosity#and there was so much hate#everyone likes christine and brooke#theyre the nice girls#the ones that get watered down to innocent and naïve and the mum friend of the group

yuletide discord server is really not succeeding at feeding me [social writing activity emotion that leads me to write] and i am instead wasting hours on [nonendorsed fic community server/archives] and it is making me irritable and also causing me to write using weird syntax as displayed here and i had like six hours to write my evil yuletide fic and didn't >:(

[Image Description: screenshot of Tumblr tags on light mode.
Tags read:
Getting real suspicious about the conflation of fantasy with reality in fandom.
"You must only read good and pure things! Otherwise you're secretly evil (smiley face)" is the song of book burners and history revisionists.
The growing number of fans treating shipping as a sign of moral purity is troubling at best and terrifying at worst.
Never trust someone who tells you to police your thoughts.
Never trust someone who tells you that bad thoughts are the same as bad actions.
And most of all.
Never trust a purity spiral.
Fandom
ID End]
I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:
Fictional characters are objects.
They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.
#reblogging this again#fandom culture#look guys#even “the good fandoms” are susceptible to this#for example in my personal experience#tmnt has been on the more accepting side#but never have i seen such visceral hate towards “problematic” ships#i feel like it puts me in a position where i need to defend the people who create art/fic of those ships because the witchhunts are so#aggressive and unyeilding#once in a discord server someone was complaining about tcest and asked “why does anyone even write that?”#they meant it as a complaint#but i (autistic and very literal) thought it was an honest question and tried to answer it in good faith#(to the best of my ability because i do not write tcest and am just using my best guess as to their thought process)#the reaction to my attempted explanation was immediately hostile and the other members of the server started talking about me as if i wasn't#there. Discussing whether or not i should be allowed to stay in the server as if i was some sort of threat to them#they eventually (reluctantly it seemed) decided that since i wasn't “supporting” Them(TM) (aka tcesters) that i was technically fine to stay#and I'm not saying you can't have space without shippers of things you don't like. i am in full support of the “Just Block Them” strategy.#but also the aggression being flipped on me just for not immediately condemning it was scary. I've seen people put on blocklists for less.#the whole experience made me more sympathetic to people who do write tcest or other “problematic” ships. i don't support that stuff irl.#but this is the INTERNET. the characters AEE NOT REAL. how is this WORSE than all of the super-popular fics where horrific violence happens#to the characters. if you don't like someone JUST BLOCK THEM instead of graphically detailing how you'll hurt them if you find them reading#your fics. holy shit. it's not that big of a deal. they're fictional characters. get over it.

A writer friend told me something that broke my heart a little bit today; they're going to quit publishing their fanfic.
My instant thought was that they had been trolled or attacked or that something terrible had happened in their life because this person is so passionate about their writing. It wasn't any of that. Engagement with their works has been going down, as it has for many of us. Comments are like gold dust a lot of the time, and just looking through the historical comment counts on old fics on ao3 demonstrates this trend very clearly. It was not simply the comments dropping off which caused them to decide to stop posting, however.
My friend came across a discord server for their fandom (I should point out here that their fandom interest and mine diverged a couple of years ago, we stay in touch but don't currently read each other's posts because I'm not into their fandom and they would rather gouge their eyes out with a wooden spoon than read anything Star Wars) and specifically to share fic in that fandom. They joined, because we all love a good fic rec, only to discover that their latest multichapter fic, which has almost no comments and very few kudos, is being hotly discussed in this server as one of the best stories ever. Not one of these people has bothered to say this to them on the fic. When they asked, none of participants could see the point in telling the author of the fic they apparently loved so much that they love it.
This discovery has absolutely destroyed my friend's love of sharing fic. They share because they love seeing other people's enjoyment, and fic writers do that through comments and kudos/reblogs/likes because we don't get paid. There is no literary critic writing a blog post/article about how amazing the story is for us to copy and keep/frame. There is no money from royalties. All we have are the words of the people reading our works.
Those people on that server could have taken five minutes of the time they spent gushing about how amazing my friend's story was to other people and used it to tell the one person guaranteed to want to hear that praise how much they loved it. They could have taken a moment to express their opinion to the person who spent hours upon hours plotting, writing, editing, and posting those chapters. Instead, they deprived my friend of thing that keeps them sharing their writing, and in the process have killed their love of it. My friend now feels used and unmotivated.
I won't be sharing a link to their fic, they said I could share their experience but not their identity. I know they plan to post one final chapter. I know they intend to express their hurt at being excluded from the praise for the thing they created, and I know they intend to announce that as a consequence they will not be posting for a long while, if at all.
So please, I beg you, don't hide your love of a story from the writer. It's just about the only thing we have.
