#fuckboi dream

[tryan-a-bex]

In light of the conversation today about Fuckboi Dream, I wanted to counteract the mean accusations in my inbox by giving some recommendations. First of all, FBD itself. Mind the tags, it is a dead dove fic. Maybe don’t read it if you struggle with separating fiction from reality or have a hard time quitting a fic if it’s just not doing it for you. But if you are an adult and have gotten over purity culture, the first 22 chapters are an amazing exploration of consent and healing in a risk aware consensual bdsm relationship. Chapter 5 was one of the most romantic things I’ve ever read. Chapter 8 was life changing, in terms of helping me examine the unwritten rules I live my life by, and the consequences of them. It suggested better rules which tbh are doing me much better than my old ones did. After chapter 22 it is an exploration of grief. The most recent chapters are finally resolving this section, and I’m so curious to see where the plot will go next, drawing as it does on both the comics and the show, sometimes in unexpected ways.

If you want the same kind of experience but aren’t ready for 300k words, I’d like to recommend The Undone and the Divine, also by @dancinbutterfly . This is a cannibalism fic, okay? I don’t approve of cannibalism in real life, but in a fic, as a metaphor for the desire to be utterly consumed and become one with a lover? Oh yes. This one is also very much consent oriented. Consent, my beloved. The art @teejaystumbles did for this one is stunning. The fic is moving and disturbing and glorious. Be an adult and mind the tags, it’s based on 24/7 (episode 5) and there is consensual violence. The sequel is started but not posted yet.

If you want to try a bdsm fic that’s not messed up but still has lots of great consent and eventually communication, @lostelfwriting ‘s Dancing with the Brutes is also one of my favourites. I loved what she did with Lucienne and Titania for me in Queen Brat. It gives a better picture of what bdsm might look like in real life.

If you want to try dancinbutterfly’s writing but aren’t ready for bdsm, Fuckboi Hob vs the Endless Family Dinner is hilarious and rough but not so heavy. It’s also a favourite, but in a normal fic way, not an obsessed with it way.

And hey if you’re caught up on FBD and want to read my fanfics of it, here’s a link to my master list of those!

Sorry not the same person who asked the ask you just answered, but the gang rape was never tagged appropriately - it's why I stopped reading the fic entirely. It has really questionable ethics and depicts BDSM as more of an abusive situation rather than what it is. As someone who's been on the scene for nearly 3 decades now, it kind of horrifying to read. Please make sure you're safe when you are in such settings!! Hugs and kisses!

Hi! I just wrote more about that scene here:

I saw it as a gang bang with drugs: Murphy was intentional about his choices going in, they let him go as soon as he communicated his safeword, he took responsibility for his choices, and Hob was there to help him learn after the fact that he can make better choices for himself. That’s how it read to me.

So yeah, FBD is extreme and also fictional and I get that. I don’t, and will never, practice bdsm to that extent. I’m very careful and taking it slow. There are things in the fic that are not recommended in real life, like combining sex and drugs, and I can enjoy those fictional bad choices while steering away from them in real life. I could give more examples—Murphy is really messed up, and I can explore my pain through his experience without following the impulses he did to wreck himself. That’s the point of good fiction, right?

As someone who’s been in a cult, I am very sensitive to power dynamics and there is nothing in FBD (or the server) that pings my power and control sensitivity. Like, it’s very, very choiceful. That’s what I took from it. The message I got is not that it’s fine to permanently mark someone in bdsm (ykinmkato), but that you have to have limits and say no and ask for what you want. And the right person will require that, not fight it. I’m sorry you don’t see that, but I’m glad you stopped reading when you had to. That’s kind of the point. Curate your own experience but you know, also don’t kink-shame.

--------------------

“Before we go on,” Hob says, trying his best to get some blood back into his brain and out of his cock, “We need to set some rules.” 

Murphy, predictably, frowns in confusion. 

“Are you referring to play rules?” he asks. 

“Not quite,” Hob answers. “I mean rules for how things are going to be, after we have sex.”

This time, Murphy outright grimaces and sighs in frustration. The sour look on his face tells Hob he knows where this conversation is going. 

“Humans have such complex feelings about sex,” he complains. 

“And you didn’t before?” Hob shoots back.  “Mr. ‘I sent a woman to hell because she had regrets about being with me?’”

“That was—” Murphy wrinkles his nose and grimaces. Oh, Hob knew all about Murphy’s past relationships, at least, the ones while he was still Endless, and how poorly those had ended.

“Was—?” Hob asks, letting the question hang between them. Murphy may have been able to get away with not communicating clearly when he was still inhuman, but that sort of thing didn’t work in his new existence.

“I was different then,” Murphy says after a brief silence. “Everything was so much…more intense. My loneliness, my responsibilities, my entire existence.”

“And now?” Hob asks. 

“Now,” Murphy replies, sticking his tongue out playfully and shrugging. “Now I can just focus on my pleasure. My wants. My needs. And the world would not end for it.” Hob snorts and rolls his eyes fondly.

“Sure, sure,” he says with an easy smile. “Far be it from me to disagree with a fun time. But you and I both know that doesn’t mean you’re not breaking hearts along the way while you’re finding yourself.” 

Murphy’s face twists in discomfort, and Hob knows he’s plucked a sensitive string. He wonders just how many hearts Murphy has broken since becoming human. He feels kind of bad for them, really. Murphy was so pretty and so emotional. There’s probably a few songs about him out there in the world if Hob had to guess. 

“I suppose you’re right,” Murphy finally acquiesces with a sigh. “Just because I am no longer directly tangled with the collective unconsciousness does not mean I am not affecting others. It is just…different.” He looks distinctly uncomfortable now, like he’s expecting some sort of judgment from Hob about his behavior. But Hob knows better than to throw stones in glass houses. Part of the reason he’d even wanted to live forever was so that he could bed as many women as he wanted. And men too, once he realized he enjoyed their company as well. 

“You remember what I said when I first set you loose on the world?” Hob asks, more gently this time. Murphy tilts his head, thinking, and isn’t that a sight? His friend has to actually struggle to remember things now. 

“You said,” Murphy replies then pauses. Then his eyes widen. “You said that I should treat others how I would wish to be treated myself.”

Hob smiles. “Golden Rule of living forever,” he replies. 

Murphy snorts. “And how would you wish for me to treat you then?” 

“Not like a one-night stand, for one thing,” Hob replies easily, stepping closer into Murphy’s personal space. “I’m your friend, not some fling you pick up at a club.” He reaches a hand to caress Murphy’s face. “So you communicate with me all your needs, or we don’t do this, okay?” 

Murphy inhales sharply and sways into Hob’s touch. “Yes,” he replies, eyes fluttering.

Hi tumblr frens!

I love this fic I wrote, about young human!Murphy meeting immortal!Hob every decade as he grows (Hob doesn’t recognize him until he’s an adult, of course). It’s a fanfic of Fuckboi Dream (dead dove, mind the tags), but it’s pretty much my usual sweet fluffy crack (okay there’s some bdsm references for Hob in ‘79 and a narrow escape for Desire and Dream as young teens in 1989).

Baby!Murphy’s story starts with The Endless Family Dinner, which is my interpretation of how he came to be, and continues with his first meeting with his nanny, Nanny Ashtoreth, called I am the Batman. Those first two have gotten my usual level of engagement, but the third one, above, is languishing. Would someone be willing to give it some love for me? (No knowledge of FBD required.)

Simon suddenly stepped to the side of the path, gesturing at Hob to follow his example. Hob stood aside as the red-haired nanny passed by with the pram of babies. She was dressed all in black, and had at least two of them in there. Besides the ones in the pram, she had a slightly bigger one by hand, and he was bawling his eyes out.

Trick or treat!! 🎃

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FRIEND! 😄🎃

Have a snippet from my #retired dream is a fuckboy WIP

Murphy does text Hob his next piercing. Two barbells cleanly run through on his nipples. Hob doesn’t bite his phone, but it’s a near thing with how much he wants. He can tell Murphy also purposely cut the bottom of the photo just shy of making it more naughty too, just to tease him even more. He texts back a series of fire emojis, then asks Same guy as last time? No, Murphy answers. We are no longer speaking. These were done by a woman in Thailand.  Hob snorts. He’d bet money he could guess why. His loss, Hob replies. And your gain, Murphy answers.

Oh yay! Come now we’re going to start daily chapters again soon!!!

you ever read a fic so good you want to sit around and discuss it with people english class style

My contribution to dreamling day: I finally posted my fanfics of Fuckboi Dream! (Link to source material: Fuckboi Dream Was Forced To Experience The Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Alive And All He Got Was This Stupid Husband (by Fall Out Boy) Mind the tags.)

These were written over the course of the last year but the deal was we could post them after the reunion was written. It's coming soon, y'all! All of these are rated Teen, mostly due to the canon subject matter.

First, my series about Murphy as a child:

The Endless Family Dinner; or How it All Started (1.4k) Destruction and Delirium plan a fishbowl rescue. What could possibly go wrong? (My wrong answer to how they got that way.)

I am the Batman (600 words) Nanny Ashtoreth meets her new charges--and they are clearly neglected but also so so cute.

Before the Torture Garden (1.7k) Hob unknowingly meets Murphy every decade, at 4, 14, and 24.

The angst and waiting were too much for me and Hob. Hob's therapist wrote a paper about it: The New Parameters of Grieving: when they might come back. (300 words)

I dealt with it by writing a happy reunion between Murphy, Hob and Oneiros... several times as we went along.

Keep Him for a While (2.4k) Murphy returns on New Years Day. Calliope tells Oneiros to ask Hob and Murphy for help, and he does.

Have you tried talking to him? (1.4k) Hob and Oneiros meet for the second time, and when Oneiros lets slip that he plans to reintegrate the Murphy facet, Hob suggests that they ask Murphy if he has any better solutions.

Dreams are Real and Stories have Power (2.6k) Murphy tells Hob about a nightmare he has after his visit to Fawney Rig, and Hob can’t leave it alone. (A fishbowl rescue set in the Fuckboi Dream universe.)

The Work Circle; or, Killing Everyone is Not Good Problem Solving (3.7k) At the cereal convention, Rose leads a workshop on how to not solve all your problems by killing everyone. 

Fuck Nasty (375 words) Could they solve their problems with a sex contest instead of an eldritch power battle? Let's try it and see. (Spoiler, there's no actual sex in this one.)

Calliope and Matthew are Geniuses (1.8k) Matthew fetches Calliope, and she persuades Oneiros to listen to reason and talk to Desire.
