theodore nott meeting the hogwarts cool girl !!

theodore nott x fem!reader (she/her pronouns)

warnings: reader smokes cigarettes (srry if it makes you uncofortable!).

little note: back to writing! i used to have a blog here and i made the dumbest decision to delete it (i'll forever miss you timothée chalamet's fake instagram posts)

reblogs are appreciated 😁

“are you always this late?” he looked down, studying your face. You could see him taking in every single detail. as he did so, he lifted an eyebrow and waited for your reply. a small smirk played with the corner of his mouth. the kind of smirk you see someone do when they feel they are superior towards you. he did not know your name, at least not yet.

your silence caused him to continue: “I am theo. and you are?"

"I'm y/n"

"pleased to meet you y/n. my father always said that a name should mean something. it should reflect the person being named"

"i'm not really sure what my name means, but i hope is something nice!"

"are you a pure blooded witch?"

"yep" you say nodding

he seems satisfied with your answer. as if you somehow passed a test without even knowing it. he holds his hand out and introduces himself with a slight bow.

"i would say you look like an angel from heaven, but you look more like some punk girl who has trouble getting to class on time"

"i wasn't planning on going to class rn"

“oh! uhm, that can get you into trouble. you know.” he says. then he adds: “are you always so bold? it’s kind of cute.”

"i'm not bold, i'm just me"

he lets out a chuckle. "it’s the same thing. I’m guessing you are just very confident in yourself, hm?” he tilts his head a little and looks down at you. “it’s not a bad quality, and I suppose it makes for a good quality of a friend, don’t you think?”

"yeah maybe"

“you are not the quiet type, I bet. you are the one who likes to get things done.” he smiles, and leans in close to you. "you would do anything to achieve your goal. you must be one of the most popular girls at school. i bet many boys try to ask you out.” and he waits for you to respond. there is a glint in his eye as he stares at you, studying you.

a soft blush spreads on your cheeks "maybe... do you want to join them?" you say flirtatious

he smiles and leans closer, he is just a few inches away from you. you can feel the heat of his breath coming from his lips as he smiles.

“maybe I do.”

he waits for you to respond, just looking at your face, smiling. he is amused at the way you're blushing. but you cannot tell what the reason for that is. does he find you attractive? or does he find you a fool? he seems to be enjoying this a little too much, as you cannot tell what the outcome of this conversation will be.

you look up at him, since he is a bitt taller but you only gives a satisfied smirk

he is enjoying this attention he thinks. he leans in even closer to you and whispers in your ear.

"what are you thinking about right now?”

you let out some of the air that was inside your lungs "to be honest, I was thinking of smoking some cigarettes and painting my nails"

"you’re a naughty girl then. do you smoke cigarettes often?" he asks this in a way that implies he actually cares about the answer to the question. as if smoking cigarettes is a bad thing. or it's not?

"yeah, but don't tell anyone, ok? it will be our secret"

he seems amused by your response. he smiles and whispers again. this time his voice is even quieter

“a secret.” he whispers the last word and he has this smile on his face that says it is not a normal secret. the look on his face gives her the impression he thinks of something not entirely appropriate. “how many cigarettes are you planning to smoke today alone?”

"3? i'm not really sure"

again, he gives you this amused smile, and it seems he is actually a bit impressed. he is not used to seeing someone not care about the rules like she does.

“well, they say you gotta try everything once. you must get into trouble a lot. aren’t you afraid of detention?”

"no, plus I never get caught anyways". you say and smile for him "do you smoke?"

he seems surprised at the question. he shakes his head and says. “no, I have never smoked. my father makes sure i take care of my health. but he doesn’t say anything about my friends. I suppose you would have to hide it from him?” “how does it feel to smoke? will it feel good to try it for first time?”

"I don't want to be a bad influence for you" you chuckle "so I won't answer"

he seems to actually be thankful. as if you just saved him from doing something bad.

"thank you. If I start smoking today. I’s your fault though!” he laughs. then he asks. “what else do you do that is bad? or am I the only person that deserves to know about this side of you?”

he seems curious and even though the smile on his face remains as teasing as ever. you can see the look on his face is genuine. as if he actually wants to know about you more.

"talking about bad habits isn't exactly a good way to get to known someone new"

he laughs again. you notice how good his laugh is. he seems to do it a lot lately. he leans in again. you can smell his cologne when you get this close. “so, you are afraid I might judge you or something?”

he gives you a playful look and then adds: “i already said you were cute. so being a little naughty, does not make you any less cute." he says this playfully, and you can see that smile on his face again. he seems to enjoy teasing you.

you back on a wall of the corridor "it will affect your impression of me" but your heart skips a beat when he calls you cute

he seems to be enjoying the way you are backing up against the wall. as he can still clearly see just how pretty you are. he smiles at you, this time you can feel he is being genuine about the compliment. he gets closer to you though. he really thinks he is in charge here doesn't he?

“well, it only makes me want to know more about you. a girl who smokes cigarettes and isn't afraid of trouble... is a very rare breed these days.” he looks you up and down again. but this time with pure admiration.

"why don't you tell me what are y thinking abt?"

"you really are interested in me aren’t you?” he laughs after saying this. h thinks for a few seconds. he seems to be contemplating whether or not to disclose his thoughts to you.

"fine, I’ll tell you my thoughts. but you better not tell anyone else. I don’t want to lose my reputation.” he takes a deep breath. you can see he is nervous, and he is blushing a little.

he leans in closer and whispers in your ear "i’m wondering if you have ever kissed anyone before.”

he waits for you to respond, the same look on his lips. you sense a bit of smugness in his voice, as if he is convinced you have never kissed anyone before.

"of couse i did".

he seems surprised, and gives you a look. it’s the look a person gives you, when they know they are not in charge. you just gained a lot of power and superiority over him just now.

"what about you? have you ever kissed someone?"

he smiles, his cheeks are red now, and his whole face is blushing.

"y-yea I have.” he says it as if it’s difficult for him to admit it. your response seemed to have knocked him off his feet. his eyes are fixed to the floor, as if he is trying to decide what to do next.

you decide to shoot your shot being flirtatious"do you wanna kiss me?"

he looks up and seems shocked. he blushes even more as you say this, his cheeks are as red as a beet now. your confidence has made him completely speechless. he whispers so only you can hear his voice, while also pulling you closer into him. "may I?”

"yeah"

he leans in and gently kisses you on the lips. It’s sweet and gentle but very passionate. you notice just how soft his lips are.he is blushing as you kiss, and so do you. his lips are soft and smooth, you feel them against yours and you find the experience very calming and pleasant.

you place your hand on his cheek and they get even redder, as he continues to hold his lips against yours. he enjoys the kiss very much.

he breaks the kiss after a bit and looks at you. "that was nice.” a broad smile was on his lips. he looks so happy and full of life. you can see all the tension fall away as his shoulders slowly relax.

"well, i have to go to class now"youi say and unlean from the wall" see you" and you start walking away

"wait.” he calls out when you are already half way on your way to the potions class. "you are not telling anyone are you?”he still has that smile on his face and you can see that he wants to continue this conversation. he seems hooked to knowing more about you. He is obsessed. he wants to know what that "cool girl" energy of yours looks like, and how far you are willing to take things with him.

"of course not. i dont wanna be seen with the spoiled playboy theodore nott" you say and get into your classroom, not giving him the chance to say anything else.

he watches you leave. he is completely flabbergasted and speechless. he is not used to girls treating him like this. he has not noticed this side of you. theo is completely in love now. you are beautiful and mysterious in his eyes. he feels like he got a peek behind the curtains. a private performance.

he watches you leave and then continues to the potions classroom. he is lost in his thoughts, trying to piece together why you acted in the way you just did. you are not like any other girl he knows in Hogwarts. and he wants to know more.

Reminder: blacklisting tags/ words is not a judgement nor a reflection of you

Here, on tumblr, blacklisting tags and filtering out specific words has no judgement attached whatsoever!

I promise you, it’s okay!

You can put any and all stuff you don’t want to see into your filtered tags/ filtered words

It doesn’t mean the stuff you filter/ blacklist is bad, it doesn’t mean you judge people or people’s posts

Some examples I blacklisted:

“#sdv” – that’s “#stardew valley”

“#minecraft”, “#smp”, and anything else relating to popular Minecraft YouTubers

“#sylvanian families”

I don’t know how many tags about dan & phil and their “phandom” (not to be confused with the Danny Phantom phandom)

I just don’t care for these topics and that’s why I preemptively put them to be filtered

And you can – btw – also put user URLs into the “filtered words”, you don’t even need to type the whole URL if it’s unique enough, usually the first 8 letters are enough for the filter to block the URL/ user

Curating your online experience is so easy on tumblr, please do it

There is no reason to scroll through things you don’t want to see

So please see this as your permission to filter/ blacklist/ outright block topics and blogs you don’t want to interact with, you don’t need a reason

You do not ever need a reason to block another tumblr user, blocking is without judgement

And I’m honestly still unlearning this myself because sometimes I can’t reblog from someone and that shows me I’ve been blocked by the OP and that makes me go “hey :(” – but it’s okay people block my URLs, it’s their right to do that

[hamyilton]

Thinking about that Verstappen post I reblogged earlier, it’s interesting to me that on a site that’s very liberal and left-leaning, where racist or other bigoted beliefs are typically shut down right away, that so many people here are fans of MV. I’ve done some thinking on it and I believe his fans fall into these types of groups:

1.Max fans who were fans well before 2020 and formed strong emotional attachments (as he had never said anything outright offensive before this time, and ignoring the incident with Ocon). I believe that having to admit you liked Max before he did and said these shitty things and thus having to craft a whole new blog is simply too much of a task for people, and these are likely people that are big proponents of the fandom characterizations of Max that ignore his real personality and actions. So, these people are aware of his shitty actions but ignore it for the purposes of fandom.

2. People who were fans of his before 2020 and know about his actions but just don’t care, I guess to them racism and ableism are excusable if you really like someone/think they’re hot.

3. Fans that do not know the shitty things that Max has done and are truly ignorant. These are most likely people who started watching F1 after 2022 as I feel like it would be hard to watch the 2021 season without being aware of the controversies lol. They think people only dislike Max because of his domination and are also riding on the back of the popularity of lestappen which was (at least how it seems on Tiktok) a lot of peoples introduction to F1 fandom.

This has been sitting with me for a while, trying to reconcile how people could support someone who’s said racist things (including that he did not believe in BLM when Lewis approached him about support, disrespected Lewis’ father, refused to name him in interviews, drove recklessly like Monza 2021, and the use of slurs etc.) with the larger liberal and social justice oriented Tumblr community. Like, I do genuinely feel bad for people that liked Max in the time before he actively said and did more shitty things, but like, if you can really support someone who behaves so awfully and can be a real danger on track, I don’t believe you can call yourself a true advocate for equality and fairness. And I haven’t even mentioned Abu Dhabi 2021 yet but the fact that it’s remembered now as “drama” instead of one of the most egregious examples of a championship being manipulated against the sport’s only Black driver…like it makes me fucking sick to my stomach. So many people quit watching F1 because of that and I really don’t blame them because it showed the complete lack of integrity of the sport itself.

Anyway, this is something I’ve been thinking about for a while now considering I’ve had to block what feels like a hundred MV fans because it’s so upsetting to see. And to see people write Lewis/Max fanfiction it feels like I’m living in an alternate reality because how can people not know??

Anyway rant over.

500 Followers Reading Recommendation List

Hi there! Happy Saturday!

I just wanted to say thank you to the 500 people that are following me. I started this account back in March/April to have fun, start writing again (I was in the thick of it with One Direction fanfiction from 2012-2017 and took a massive break from that... Iykyk) and to make friends. I’ve connected with so many of you, and I love seeing us all thirsting on the feed, and just being a community? Idk if that’s cheesy, but there are plenty of things that could be improved with how this fanbase operates but this is my favorite part.

I felt like the best way to celebrate and to have fun is to bring attention to other people’s writing that I enjoy. Frothing at the mouth, or maybe just kicking my feet, whatever. I’ve been stockpiling these since the beginning (mainly so I can keep track because I will forget what I’m reading through and I don’t want to miss anything) and want to just highlight as many people as I can. 

I hope you all can give these guys some love too. If any of these are not your cup of tea and you want to make comments or say something to one of these authors I highly encourage you to read this announcement I made a while ago. I stand by this and encourage others to do the same.

I tried to not repeat an author with a character, but I will say that each of these lovely people writes for multiple characters (not always in the Pedro character universe either) and I have and continue to read from their whole masterlist. 

This is in no way the whole ongoing list that I keep for myself to find something that I enjoy, and I am positive I have missed some amazing people. I encourage everyone to reblog and interact with authors as you find things you like, “popular” or not, so as to keep us all as what I described above-a community.

Most of these recommendations are smut, which is indicated with *. If there is no *, it either has none or it does not at the time of posting this. Proceed with caution. 🙂

(If I get anyone’s name or pronouns wrong, please let me know so I can fix it. I tried to do my due diligence, however, I am prone to mistype so a quick message will get it changed!)

Joel Miller

@softlyspector-Honeyed

Becca’s story Honeyed is everything my fluffy heart desires. It is so soft, and I can feel my heart ache when I read it (I mean this in a good way and idk how else to describe it.) Ellie and Sarah’s dynamic is also so interesting, and I love how she writes the different connections between them all. Becca’s descriptions and ability to immerse you into the story is top notch. 

@jrrmint- Dad’s Best Friend (Series)*

JJ’s series absolutely destroyed me, in the best way possible. The way he expresses his feelings is so very Joel, but also so very “every man I’ve ever interacted with”, and the way he is so protective of reader…oh my lord. Just brilliant. JJ is here to kill it, every fucking time. 

@darkroastjoel- A Safe Haven (series)*

Vee is extremely talented, even when she thinks otherwise. (Vee I love you so much omg). So much effort and care is put into what she writes, and I am always sitting at the edge of my seat. A Safe Haven is angsty, makes my heart flutter, and Joel is portrayed so well. Hiding a relationship while having issues in Peach’s home to help the community? Real-life anxiety. Vee’s Ellie is also one of my favorites and gives comedic relief when necessary (but also a wakeup call to Peach a lot of the time). Love love love.

@hier--soir-Back to Texas

Jessie you probably thought I was going to put your professor joel series here, and while that is so fucking good (screeching into a pillow so my husband doesn’t hear, good), this specific piece you wrote? Emotional damage. Tears, in my eyes, sniffling and trying to keep it together. It really just calls upon my daddy issues to read Joel so distraught and loving and anxious about visiting his home where he last saw Sarah. Ugh. Love you. 

@joelscruff- One Thing I’m Missing (series)*

Cat’s ability to suck you into the world she has created is insane. I highly recommend all of the things she writes, but some sweetness mixed with horniness always makes me want to just pass away. Accidentally falling asleep together? And now you BOTH can’t stop? Bye. So deliciously heart-wrenching. 

@atinylittlepain-Hungry Hearts (Series) *

Dear god this series has me crying, covering my face in embarrassment, drooling, and so much more. Summer love wrapped up with childhood crushes and bouncing back and forth between past and present? Thinking you know what’s best for the person you love and hurting them in the process? The flow of how Ginny writes keeps me on the hook no matter what she’s writing, and this is no different. I am absolutely able to lose myself in her writing and just be fully immersed, and I so so SO appreciate it.

@dev1lm4n-Porn Star Joel (series)*

Ann I swear to you, you’re the reason I am now obsessed with this “porn star” trope, specifically for Joel Miller. Joel having a secretive side job to make sure he keeps his family above water, but suddenly not able to think about anything other than reader, an exchange student living in his house? So fucking good. Sink your teeth in and just indulge. 

Frankie Morales

@pedropascalsx- Relief*

This had my gut in knots reading it. I have such a soft spot for Frankie as a character, and I remember the first time I read through this one-shot I gasped out loud at how mean you had written him. (This is a good thing, trust me). The smut is top shelf, mesmerizing.  Cristina has some of the best writing around with detail that is chef’s kiss. 

@peterhollandkait-Everthing I Know Leads Me Back to You

This is another series that I had first read when I was thinking about restarting my page, and Kait does not disappoint. The angst and heartbreak for sweet baby Frankie who is having issues is out of this world.

@javiscigarette-Just Focus on My Love*

Cami has this way about how she writes that I just consume so quickly and I don’t think I can ever stop. This one-shot called to me and calls me out at the same time for how often I will just play video games for hours. And the idea of Frankie? Coming to try and distract me? Yes please.

Javier Peña

@pascalsbby-Little Bunny*

Man, I just love Javier Peña. Whether he’s snarky and is a slut or is secretly really sweet. This one doesn’t disappoint either, with Kat having the ability to just get Javier to bring you home and on your knees…

@lokischocolatefountain -Salvation*

Married Javi and his struggles is the most insane way to get me hooked on him, but lokischocolatefountain did that. They have a whole “married javi” section of their masterlist that I find myself coming back to often!

@devilmademewriteit-Salvatore (series)*

When I was first reapproaching tumblr as a platform to write on, I came across Em’s writing. I was in the middle of watching Narcos, and it called out to me like a siren song, and I wasn’t able to stop reading it. I love a sassy Javi who is really just basically in love with you and trying to hide it, mixed in with some amazing smut. Absolutely brilliant Em!

@swiftispunk- Let Me and Use Me*

Hannah’s ability to call upon my niche needs at the moment freaks me out sometimes, because giiiirrrlllll. When I first read Let Me and the follow up Use Me, I melted into a puddle and had to be mopped up like snow being kicked off boots next to a wood stove. I will never ever EVER be over Javi P, and this two parter is reread OF-TEN. The idea that a man can read me so well, and just knows what I need? Yes please. 

Din Dijarin

@frannyzooey-Take Me To Church (Series) *

Kelli has an extensive masterlist that I have gone through a couple times (or more, ahem). Her Take Me to Church series is what made me interested in Din as a character, since I had never really watched the Star Wars saga. I have a soft spot for western AU’s that can’t be helped, so that just pushed me along as well. Kelli’s writing is always so fucking satisfying-good soup.  

@whatsnewalycat- Passenger (series) 

Aly has quite a few series that I am reading constantly. Again, never really had been interested in the Star Wars series (sue me, people) but her portrayal of Din as a truck driver and bounty hunter is so heavenly. I am typically under the covers with all the lights off reading her stuff because I get so excited and so honed in that I haven’t realized I’ve basically burrowed into my bed. 

@no-droids- Rough Day (series) *

Originally found on AO3, and I sure do loveeeeeeeee it. The wait is worth it, and the smut is spot on. I love the character growth that is shown in this series, and while I haven’t ever spoken with no-droids, I know they are insanely talented. An amazing read. 

Agent Whiskey/Jack Daniels

@fuckyeahdindjarin-Palomino (series) *

Cee doesn’t need a whole introduction but IMMA GIVE HER ONE. The amount of effort, and time and love she puts into her writing is shown when you’re reading on your phone, eyes barely open at 3 in the morning, telling yourself you’ll go to sleep after this next paragraph. And then of course, you don’t because something juicy is happening or you want to see how Jack is going to look lovingly at Darlin’ and you just stay up until you complete the chapter. Cee has some amazing amazing AMAZING series, and this is just one of them! 

@psychedelic-ink-Move Me, Baby *

Sil, if you don’t already know what you do to me, then here it is. You literally destroy me. This three-part series is as delectable as they come, being angsty and fluffy but also smut city babyyyyy. Sil is extremely talented and often has me questioning if I have a new kink or what exactly my deal is. 

Ezra (Prospect)

@the-ginger-hedge-witch- Adversity Western AU (Series)*

Ren. I stg. The ideas that you have send me into orbit. This is both Frankie and Ezra, but I am putting it under Ezra because the relationship between reader and Ezra is what I tend to focus on when I am reading this. Frankie’s relationship is also fascinating (and Ezra and Frankie together is extremely hot) but Ezra is written in this way that I just know is him exactly. She completely captured what Ezra’s cadence was (in my head at least) and I am infatuated with it.  

@ezrasversion-Heat*

Rue…my dear god. “Don’t stop on my account… unless of course you’d be more acquiescent to the idea of my assistance.” Like really?! I read this after I watched prospect for the first time and just about keeled over. How you captured how Ezra speaks was so spot on with the movie. So so good!

[ofmermaidstories]

Hi! I’m new ish to tumblr and I have a problem that I need some advice for, but is also okay to ignore because I know it’s bit weird. Also english is my second language so sorry for any errors.

I have a small ish blog and I have my asks open. It used to be very nice but over the last few weeks it’s very hate filled now. My blog has growed a bit but I feel it went from being 1 mean/off-putting comment a month to being 50% mean. I am not sure whether this is normal or if there is anything i can do.

Is it normal for it to get quite nasty or is it likely it is one person who is doing all of the comments? Is this a normal thing to deal with when people start noticing your blog a bit more? It has made me sad about beginning my blog.

Any advice would be appreciated, and so sorry for being vague with details. This is embarrassing for me to admit.

don’t be sorry about reaching out, or trying to protect your privacy! 🥺 it’s not embarrassing—it’s awful that you’re going through this, and i’m so sorry anon.

it’s never normal to get hateful messages. it does happen every now and then, and in my personal experience it’s always been because of something i’ve reblogged or a random opinion (which those that disagree with me can eat shit for, bc i’m always correct 😌), but it’s not normal for it to be a sustained campaign against you!!!!!!! do the messages have the same sort of voice, when you read them? write the same? it could just be one person who’s decided to take your blog/your writing/your opinions personally. if they don’t sound the same, but are about the same thing, then it might be a group of “friends”—i’ve put “friends” in quotes like that bc if you are bonded by being dicks to other people then you don’t have enough empathy to have true, lasting friendship LOL.

i’m sorry you’re dealing with this, anon. 😭 it’s especially worse if you feel alone with it. you’re not!!!! 🥺 you’re not!!!!!! this anon, or these anons, are not the norm. hate messages are a reality of our communities, but they’re a reality we should not tolerate. try blocking the anon messages—like, using the … menu on the message to block that particular anon. it’s not solid protection, but it’s a start. i’m sorry your introduction to tumblr has been rocky. these things can suck the fun out of what we do, it’s why these anons always try it. 🥺 but i hope you know you belong here—more than these little jerks do. more than they ever could. i don’t care who they are behind that anonymous message—whether they’re popular writers or just some random who’s bent out of shape—but by virtue of being hateful enough to consistently try and upset you they’ve proven that they’re not the kind of people we want among us.

don’t be embarrassed. so many of us have had similar problems with just a singular asshole trying to make things a little more miserable. you’re not alone, and we will make your blog a fun space for you to create again—somehow. 🥺🤍🌾

[not-wholly-unheroic]

Do you have any controversial headcanons that go against what is generally accepted by the fandom? Do you incorporate this into writing your muse or keep it to yourself?

For Hook please ///

I’ve been trying to think on it, and while I may have a few opinions that are divergent from the majority, for the most part, I don’t think I have any super controversial headcanons about Hook. I guess maybe the fact that I insist he lives and give him a redemption arc is unusual but not really controversial. Some of my preferred ships (and the ships I don’t like) might be a little out of the ordinary, but I mostly just don’t reblog things with a NoTP and don’t go out of my way to push my own ships.

Also, for me, who I may ship him with partly depends on the version. For example, Pirate Fairy James I think is cute with Zarina but I like Jake-verse Hook with Red Jessica. Original Disney Hook I actually like with Cruella because neither has a canon love-interest and they are both British, fashion-conscious villains without magic who just seem like they’d be on the same page in the villains hangout. Isaacs Hook and Barrie’s Hook (which I often group together as one character) I ship with an Adult Wendy…which is probably the most controversial ship I have, but I grew up with the 2003 film and was one of the many little girls around Wendy’s age who had a crush on his version of Hook so… 🤷🏼‍♀️ Some versions of Hook (like Hoffman’s) I don’t particularly ship with anyone.

Two semi-popular OTP’s I really don’t care for are Smee/Hook and Jafar/Hook. With Smee, I can at least see the reason why some people ship it…I just personally see their relationship as more of like a father/son thing and also headcanon pretty hard that Smee is aro ace and is content being single. I don’t think Hook had a loving male role model in his life and Smee just sort of ends up adopting that parental role. Smee is the opposite of the dad I headcanon Hook grew up with—violent, controlling, hypermasculine… Smee is this gentle, friendly, soft character and that’s exactly what Hook needs in a father-figure even if he doesn’t like to admit it. Jafar is more for personal reasons. He’s a great villain but in my headcanon storyline for Disney Hook, they have a MAJOR falling out that would prevent them from ever even being allies again after a certain point, much less anything else.

These days when I’m writing, regardless of the version of Hook, I often (though not always) intentionally leave any romantic interest at least somewhat vague so the reader can decide for themselves who they want to pair them with. All of that said, I do think I’m in the minority in that I headcanon Hook as being heteroromantic and somewhere on the ace spectrum. Hook is—at least in modern interpretations—often overly sexualized in my opinion. We don’t get any hints anywhere in Barrie’s original material that Hook might have any sort of romantic or sexual interest…which leaves the door wide open for how people want to interpret him. Hook’s personality lends itself naturally, I think, to romanticism (love of music, flowers, etc.) but I personally choose to interpret his lack of any canon hints at ever having had a love interest as meaning that he’s not really going out of his way here to look for someone. Also, Barrie drew at least some inspiration for Hook from his own life, and we have good historic evidence to believe that Barrie was ace even though he did marry a woman. At the very least, if Hook isn’t somewhere on the ace spectrum, he IS canonically a gentleman and I despise any interpretation that has him jumping into bed with just about anyone regardless of how they feel about him. I think the Disney Twisted Tales book “Straight on Til Morning” sums up my idea of (pre-redemption arc) Hook well when a pirate tells Wendy, “He might slit your throat, but the rest of you is safe.”

[stirpicus]

Hello Eric! Thank you for all the advice and wisdom you share with your writing experiences. I’ve been lurking on those on a while because (well i know a major chunk is MC story mode), the characters are so well fleshed out and they stuck to me for so many years. No matter what I do I alwayyys go back to writing. Like i cannot just NOT do it. And lately, spending much time, I have been trying to unwrap my misbelief about “comparing myself to others”. I read so many different advice: don’t compare yourself, you can only control what you do, your journey is different, you can’t compare art, trends change etc. yet I just can’t seem to get it. Now I know why.

Personally I have enwrapped my own sense of worth with the stories I write. Like if this craft isn’t recognized the best despite all my efforts, I just don’t have that IT factor. And even though we’re not supposed to compare, is it bad for me to have ambition that I want to become the best? Also yes my journey is different, but how do I know if I’m headed there, what if I’m just gonna be stuck average? So all of these thoughts boiled down to this dark demon always telling me: why bother pouring your heart out when it won’t make a difference to the competition? My biggest desire is to write a story that inspires. But if I don’t have enough people to like it (aka not popular enough) then I did a bad job or what I have to offer wouldn’t suffice.

Tdlr; bigger numbers, bigger validation, significance=good writer.

How would you unravel this misconception?

I have a lot of problems with modern society and it’s affect on budding artists, writers, and other myriad creative ne’er-do-wells. Social media, in particular, is a noxious poison that we have been collectively huffing for the last decade and change, with its deceptively comforting dopamine hits.

You need to remember that people have undertaken creative endeavors since the dawn of time, and that for 99.99999% of that time, there has not been social media. There have not be likes, or reblogs, or retweets, or follower counts… and yet art and creative expression have persisted.

I’m not going to sit here and tell you “Aw I’m sure you’re great! Just keep plugging away and you’ll get there!” Because I don’t think you have a clear idea of what your definition of “there” is. You say you want to be “the best,” but that doesn’t mean anything. The “best” writer of all time might have been born at a time and in a place where we’ve never gotten to read any of her or his or their writing. Wanting to be “the best” is a foolish goal that will only lead to frustration and disappointment.

You need to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself: Do you actually love writing? Or do you love the idea of being praised for your writing because you seek validation and writing is something that people have told you you’re good at doing? “Success” can look like a thousand different things and change a thousand times in your lifetime. When I was 21, my vision of “success” was getting paid to write words. That was it. The first time I got to file my taxes as a “Writer” I felt like I had truly “made it.” All my writing that year was for weird social media startups and cartoons that never went anywhere, but people had nonetheless exchanged Money for my Words so I had achieved my goal of “Getting paid to write words.”

Each success brings with it new goals - from there it was “write something that gets made,” “have an original idea get produced,” “get to write for a medium I’ve never written for before,” “write something that wins an award,” But along the way, I tried to make each of these goals attainable and tried not to despair when some take longer than others. I have some goals that I may never accomplish, and some that I haven’t even set for myself yet.

This is my own journey, and yours will look different. But I hope whatever shape it takes, you will divorce yourself from caring about something as stupid as follower counts or number of likes or trying to be “the best.” Because good lord what a silly amount of pressure to put on yourself.

At the end of the day the one reader that will always read your stuff… is you. So don’t worry about whether people will like what you’re writing - just make sure it’s something that you like to read and enjoy writing. Because if you keep doing that and keep the social media demons outta your brain box, then you can focus on figuring out what you REALLY want out of writing… because I bet it’s something way achievable than “being the best.”

Hey love

First : read the new chapter of damage control. Forgive me for that long comment. I wanted to add that I enjoyed the aesthetic boards. Definitely help with the visualization of everything. I swear I love that story like crazy.

Furthermore I did see the post you made about your stories before I’m sure you deleted it. I wanted to take some time to ponder on it before I followed my first instinct and hit you up when I saw it first. Honestly, I don’t know (to your question) I enjoy your writing. Like I said a while ago when is started reading your stuff. You really pulled me into OC writing. The way you bring together a character is intriguing. Along with the visualizations you provide. I have so many of you OC series in my drafts like wisteria & moonlight (did not know about it till I saw you posted a finale chapter) that I plan to read. I will admit 🫣 damage control is my fave so I always make immediate time to read it.

It saddens me when thinking of your feelings but I understand. Todays world of writing on this site is weird. It’s definitely a contest of whose cooler and so many cliques. I truly believe there are more people than you know who read your stuff but might be shy or I don’t know (rambling now). I can only speak for myself so once again love your stories and hope people spread their love of them also 💚💚💚💚 (hope this wasn’t out of place, I rambled too much lol)

Hi 💕💕💕

First, I always welcome and LOVE long comments. Do you don’t have to apologize, it made me smile and I was so happy to see it! Comments alone are a rare surprise, long ones? Even better.

The aesthetic boards - thank you! Those are my pride and joy. I literally can’t write anything without making a board. Sometimes I make a board first, to help me organize my thoughts for the chapter. I’m a visual thinking, and aside from enjoying the act of creating them, I do appreciate when ppl notice them and say something. It’s cool. :) (this is also why I have a crazy amount of pics on my phone 😂 and my Pinterest is busssssy)

The post - yeah I did delete it, I had no idea anyone saw it. 💜 thank you for your kind words and support. I do really feel like I’m secretly black listed, it’s sucks. But what can I do?

I can only hope people give my work a chance. Give my ocs a chance and support writers outside of the popular girls table here on tumblr. With that, I hope they start reblogging our stuff too not just the top 5 most popular writers here.

Damage control - oh how I love that story and you reading it as I reveal chapters just makes me so happy. I love seeing your reactions. I have no plans as of now to delete works, so do take all the time you want, the other stuff will be there. I’ll def give a heads up if I decide to suddenly peace out down the line. As of now, save what you want and it will be there. 😁 wisteria & moonlight is another original story of mine!

The clique thing on here is so real, being on the outskirts, lucky if I get 2-3 likes (not even reblogs cause those rarely happy) is so depressing. I do hope shy readers are enjoying stuff but I don’t know. I just get silence these days but I’m trying to stay hopeful someone cares. I do have days I feel less positive tho and just straight up forgotten. I was feeling really awful the last 3 months, still am, hence that now deleted post.

Thank you so much for your message. You were totally not out of place. This was sweet and thoughtful. Thank you 💜

“Stop groping my pulse. If you’re hungry, just eat.”

Grimmjow’s sleepy, extremely grumpy voice tears through the dreamy half-doze Ichigo was starting to sink into. The words themselves take a moment to coalesce into something meaningful.

When they do, he regrets everything.

“I’m not hungry,” he says into Grimmjow’s hair. “And I am not…”

Grimmjow shifts, and some of the shorter strands of his hair, slightly damp from his nightly shower and mussed to hell from Ichigo’s complete inability to resist a wet, half-naked Grimmjow, slides boldly into his nose.

He pulls back, sneezing violently, and almost misses what Grimmjow says.

“…just molesting my throat for fun? Pervert.”

“What the—I’m innocently cuddling you, not molesting your throat, and will you stop phrasing it like that, you degenerate asshole?” For good measure, Ichigo pulls back the hand that was spread loosely over the base of Grimmjow’s throat. And sure, his thumb was on the pulse, stroking idly, but he wasn’t groping anything.

“Why? It’s accurate.” Grimmjow, like the pissy cat he is, refuses to concede. “You never touch my dick like that.”

“For fuck’s sake, Grimmjow, if I went for your dick the way I do for your throat, you’d have bigger problems.”

“Promises,” the crazy bastard purrs.

My #1 post of 2022

Being an extremely picky reader, I have a lot of sympathy for people who can't find the kind of fic they want to read, who don't resonate with many popular fanon, who have tastes that just aren't often addressed in most fic. The smaller the fandom, the worse off these woes, usually. What I don't give two shuddering shits about are the folks who make this the authors' problem.

Fanfic detractors love to say it's not real writing, but even putting aside the 101 ways that's total bullshit, the sheer act of writing takes time. At my fastest, I could write maximum 1200 words an hour; these days, it's closer to 500. Yet, you have so many writers churning out fic after fic, ranging from bite-sized bits to epic-length monstrosities. That's hours and hours of our lives. I set aside 2–3 hours a day for writing, and you can bet those add up fast.

So here you have these people creating scores of content for the hell of it, putting it up for free, and expecting damn near nothing in return. There are outliers, of course, but the general sentiment I've seen is that we don't want money, and we don't demand comments, though we appreciate the everloving shit out of them. At the core of it, writing fic is a labour of love, and fandom is a gift economy.

You know what's not a gift? Being a little shit in the comment/ask boxes of your local fandom writers.

It's fine, absolutely a-okay, spectacularly acceptable to not like or even viscerally hate any given character, trope, ship, or even specific fic. But listen, that's a you problem���and it doesn't have to be problem at all if you just click that pretty X and exit the story posthaste. The author won't even know you'd been there, and you're free to go wash out the taste of whatever fuckery made you nope out. If you're inclined toward writing yourself, you can even give the tried-and-true art of writing out of spite a go.

But, for the love of god, don't hop into the comment box and list all the ways in which the author could've made the story the one you wanted.

It's not your story. It's also clearly not for you. The writer wrote the story they wanted the way they wanted it. Leave it the fuck alone.

Some writers may ask for concrit; feel free to give it, provided you've nailed the constructive part of constructive criticism.

But their writing has typos and grammar errors: Shit happens, and we're not robots. Ignore it, or if you can't stand it, stop reading.

But it'd have been better if it was another ship/character/direction: That's your opinion, which will remain valid for only as long as it stays solely in your head. Again, stop reading. Exit quietly.

But the content is problematic: My brother in Christ, it was meant to be. We're not all pearl-clutching puritans. Stop reading things that upset you, especially if they're tagged!

Harassing authors won't get you the content you want. Nor, for that matter, will politely pestering them make them see the holy light of whatever crusade you're on. Most you'll manage is break the confidence of a fledgling writer or drive someone vulnerable out of fandom. And if that's your endgame, you're the kind of trash a handful of words from voxofthevoid.tungle.com can't change, so fuck you anyway.

Creativity begets more creativity. In every fandom I've written for, I started writing because, after a point, reading wasn't enough. I have specific tastes that don't always align with broader fandom tastes—for instance, I like out-and-proud sadists and writing my favs as tops/doms, whereas the predominant trends seem to favor the opposite. I also like very specific kinds of fuckery with my fluff, which are often hard to find. All that's fine. I have MS Word and the will to use it.

Granted, writing fic deliberately tailored to my tastes isn't the same as reading fic that's coincidentally tailored to my tastes, but that's fine too. I can be immeasurably grateful to the wonderful folks whose writing does strike a chord in me while also endeavouring to one day make someone say, "Damn, voxofthevoid, this is exactly the story I needed." That's what I want to give to fandom.

Others are free to think, "Yikes, voxofthevoid, you're fucked in the head," and be on their merry way; just don't make it my problem.

And if you, personally, don't have the time or inclination to be the porn fic you want to see in the world, there are other ways to encourage the kind of content you want to see. Participate in fandom exchanges. Seek out writers that take prompts or requests. Send positive encouragement (not rude demands) to the writers whose work you enjoy.

Don't throw a tantrum in the comment/ask box. It helps no one. It pisses off a lot of people. Nobody benefits.

Sincerely,

Someone who's very, very tired of seeing entitled shits make fandom a nightmare for everyone

Can CNC blogs interact? Sorry was a little confused for r4pe kink def that’s all. Also, what about people who reblog from some of the turn offs you mention but not those specific kinks? I reblog some stuff from (respectful, non transphobic, usually trans, have to check because it can be really bad) de trans blogs but never de trans stuff. Also thank you for your users who don’t consent, blocked the icky daddy or whatever that guy was trying to be. I’m into hard kinks but w consent always :/ that guy has been sort of creepy abt young girls too though. I just want to understand and respect your boundaries fully 👍

this IS a cnc blog... so, yeah... i don't like how people talk or play around with "rape kink" bc it's usually very rough, forceful, doesn't include foreplay, always centered around painful and fast penetration (no lube style) and that's NOT what i'm into... at all. ever. i don't want people to treat me that way, and idk how else to make that any clearer when i get asks like this... (asking an overtly cnc blog if it's ok for cnc blogs to interact, like.. ya know what i mean... lol it's silly. and people ask me really basic questions like this all the time. i genuinely don't know how i can be more clear about these things!! x3 ahh).

my DNI and Turn Offs are two separate lists. if something is a turn off for me, i just don't have any interest in it and don't want to be treated that way. i've been on kinkblr for a while now, and unusual or less popular kinks are not something that offends me. some items in my dni are actually just turn offs, but because people have treated me in ways i super don't like- now they are criteria for getting blocked. if people can't understand my role and interests in kink, and keep treating me badly bc of that, the only solution i could think of was to sound more strict about my boundaries: so dense people would actually read it and not immediately message me shit talking down to me like a sub and projecting every squick on me, then getting super defensive and wound up when i tell them i'm not into it or try to steer the conversation in the direction of what i actually like and am into.

detrans is one of those kinks that i simply don't care about, it's not my thing and i wouldn't have much else to say on the topic if it weren't for sooooooooooooooooo many people being really disrespectful and shitty to me, forcing that onto me... not caring that i explicitly said, "NO."

you may not post detransitioning content, but if detransition kink blogs follow you and you've put MY content on your "detrans kink safe" blog, then most will assume I'M into something that i'm NOT. they will harass me, intentionally, bc that's what people with icky and detrans kinks do around here. it's not kinky behavior. it's unhealthy, unwarranted, unprovoked, and abusive behavior (their actions, not the kink or fetish). it doesn't matter if the person with detransitioning kinks is trans, they can still be transphobic by harassing people that don't have these particular kinks: misgendering, corrective rape, detransitioned... i've written about this so much, and i wish people would stop trying to involve me in something i have no need to be part of- i'm not into this kink!!!!!!! why do people keep talking to me about it?! does it bother you that i'm simply not interested in any of it? (serious question)

you say you're into "hard kinks" but what does that mean exactly? i didn't create that tag to protect anyone, it was to make a point about how incessant and obtrusive certain blogs have been about ignoring their lack of my consent. if any information there is useful for you, that's your business in how you run your blog. i don't condone reporting anyone here bc it only means having to block the same person repeatedly, ad nauseum. and i don't post anything for anyone to dislike or send hate to anyone else! i am only trying to maintain a respectful, consensual space here. if a blog truly has harmful content, it's better to leave their blog as is and report them to a government agency or organization known for handling whatever offense applies.

it seems the question you really want answered is whether it's ok to interact with my blog if you don't post or reblog detrans content, but allow other people who do to interact with your blog. let me ask you this: would you be ok with an adult blog reblogging your content, knowing they allowed underage users to interact with them (by stating something like "14+" in their pinned and reblogging kinky posts from children onto their blog)? how would that make you feel, if a kinky adult were sharing your blog in that way, and every time they did that you got notifications and messages from blogs without an age (or actual pedo bait blogs and teens) messaging you about their... "creepy" hard kinks.

like, can you understand by framing it around something you don't view positively? (i'm using your expressed negativity in the ask you sent to rephrase and reframe the question you're asking me.) does that clear things up?

i do not want to see or be seen by detransition, misgendering, corrective, breaking kink people.

Many thanks to everyone who defended the authors' right to write a fanon.

'If you don't like it, don't use it?'Lol. Well, we don’t use those parts of the canon that are not interesting to us. How about if you don't like it, don't read it then? Try it, it might be cool.

Jedipirateking, Frankly, I would have simply ignored this divergence in our tastes. But honestly, this whole fight in comments and reblogs is rude, yes. I don't care at all if you want to debate in one of my posts.It's always cool to hear someone else's opinion but you seem to find some satisfaction in your supposed superiority. I wish you all the best, but wasting time trying to prove something to a person who is not going to listen is simply pointless. This applies to both sides. You have one life, don’t waste it on such unworthy things. If you don’t like what most authors write then just make more content yourself. You don’t look rude because you want to use the canon, only because you think that everyone must do it too.

I don’t think a stranger’s opinion means anything to you, and believe me, I feel the same way. But just to respect the time of those people who spent time defending my interests, I can’t help but put in my two cents.

You really have interesting thoughts but try somehow not to consider your opinion the only correct one. I don't want to block you because you know a lot of interesting things about the fandom but a more sensitive person might actually be hurt that you're so desperate to make him understand his thoughts a bullshit. Try to be gentler in educating people, please.

Where is the law prohibiting us from writing a story with ready-made characters the way we want? For example, I’m not a fan of Batman x Joker but I would never shame those who write about it. I think the character would never do this so I don't write about it. But that doesn't mean another writer shouldn't do it.  If you want the canon to be used more often, the best thing you can do is write more about it yourself so that your thoughts become popular.

Readers are good at avoiding things that irritate them. Try it too maybe. If some things are a trigger for me, I just close a page but I never write comments on ao3 or here about how mad it makes me. I remain happy and an author remains happy that he receives a response from people who share his opinion. Criticism is also a wonderful thing but it shouldn't sound like hate.

~~~~~~

A good knowledge of a canon is a thing that’s always impressive but it’s not a canon. Some people just like overpowered characters. So? We all have favorites.

Fanfiction is made to give as ability to do what is not possible in the original story. I don’t care what laws the DC universe operates under. In this corner of Tumblr I am the Ancients and the Creator in one person.

You want to see a good rationale for the characters? Write it. Even in a reblog. Obviously you know a lot and have a good writing style and read your version will be wonderful. But don’t make other people think that they must put their life to know all about fandom before making fun prompts. Because that’s not how it works.  There’s nothing more beautiful than getting to know your favorite characters gradually. Newcomers have the right to participate, not look from the outside for a year when their knowledge is good enough for them to do it. Also some people just do not like canon and want to change it, so what? Maybe I admire some characters but not the world around them. This is fine.

Your comments are cool and helpful, but they go with "bullshit" and other not nice notes. I don’t think you were trying to be really rude, but your way of conveying your thoughts didn’t seem very polite, no offense.

Who made the law that prevents me from considering the Infinite Realms as the Kingdom of all the dead?

One alien? Yeah, it’s like there’s no dead Kryptonians in the Infinite Realms. Clark is not special. (But Danny and Dan are special for me.) If the boy could fight Pariah Dark using amplifiers, and Dan could subdue Fright Knight who served this Tyrannical King without them, then even if Snyder himself told me that Phantom would not defeat Superman, I would be a wall from a meme where dude trying to explain something to it. That's how simping works. His the best for me no matter what.

Also, I swear I didn’t mean that it would be easy for Dark Phantom to get rid of Superman. (even if I keep thinking about a possibility of a fusion with Clockwork for this mission). A long battle? Of course. Casualties? Sure. But when Superman kills Valerie, the last connection to his past self, Dan's just explodes with rage.

Maybe in the DC universe ghosts are some kind of magic users but I reserve the right to consider this a convergent evolution, nothing more. Not everything that is not subject to the laws of physics is magic.

If I wanted to, I could write that Danny called his asian uncle Xie Lian and he came and beat a Kryptonian with a stick while Hua Cheng and Phantom cheered, you know? And this would be quite canonical for the fandom he comes from but it is unlikely that you would be happy with such an opportunity either.

I’m not going to be ashamed of myself for making characters different from the original story. Of course, there are boundaries that I’m not willing to cross too but I’m certainly not going to tell other people that he should do the same thing.

~~~~~~

I must confess that, as a person who thinks Jason is my lil meow meow, I was the most perplexed by the comment that Batarang wasn’t Batman's. If we’re not going to ignore Clark’s power limit in my another post then let’s not give all the credit to Damian.

Batman: Under the Red Hood comic book exist. And the Batman: Three Jokers exist too. Not all Bruce versions are good. Was he trying to kill him? No, I don't think so. But this Batman done something worse than killing. He preferred the Clown to his boy. Not all Jasons can have WFA!Bruce and be happy.

Whether you’ve studied anatomy or not doesn’t really matter, any sane person knows that a human who bleeds from a neck can die in seconds or in minutes. Seriously, arterial bleeding, pulsatile! bleeding, is the most serious type that looks like a fountain, and how hard it is to stop it from a large vessel on a neck just can’t be said.

What's even worse, in the venous vessels of the neck, the pressure is lower than outside the body. So when the wound occurs, the air enters the brain vessels and clogs them. Within seconds, death comes.

Whatever how first-rate Batman’s skills are, there was no guarantee that Todd would survive the incident if the comic book obeyed the laws of normal physiology.

Batman doesn’t kill? Batman is one of the best DC heroes, but he’s not perfect, he’s not a saint. There are different versions of Bruce, and that’s why I love and hate this character at the same time.

Superman was the only reason why Batman didn’t avenge Robin’s death (Batman: A Death in the Family). And Batman actually does kill the Joker in Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Three.

~~~~~

No offense, but talking about "this dude can’t be stronger than this one because yada yada" is completely pointless, at least because it's a fanfiction. It’s not math where you really need to justify that you're not mad if 2-7=15. We’re all here to have fun, right? It’s always cool to have an ability to explore different scenarios. >:)

DPXDC prompt. Dead on main.

Okay, Danny’s revenge for Jason through the Joker murder is fine.

But imagine the wrath of the Ghost King who responds to a call for help from his boyfriend and finds Red Hood with his throat cut and bleeding. Aside from it, there’s a bloody batarang on the roof. And it just pisses the Phantom off. Bat just left main treasure of his core to die.

Danny is still terrified even when Frostbite confirms that Jason will survive. Dan’s future is still fresh in his memory. That’s probably why when the councilman takes him off hospital ward duty to clarify what His Majesty wants as the guarantor of the Peace Treaty with demon race and what price to set for summons from cults Danny answers without a second thought.

Phantom: Batman.

Ghost: From a cult, Your Majesty?

Councillors have long been accustomed to Phantom giving strange requests so that people would not have the opportunity to really summon him.

Phantom: From the cult, from demons, ghosts or elves. Whatever. I need Batman and I need him yesterday. I give any reward to whoever delivers him to me, the price will be fair.

Ghost: Your word is our command.

~~~~~

In Gotham it’s 4 AM when Constantine is calling an emergency Justice League meeting.

'What did you do, Bats?' Shazam asks with undisguised concern.

~~~~~

Bonus points if Jason has to teleport himself directly to the JL space station and stop his feral lover from murder. Yeah, this is definitely not how he planned to reveal who was hiding under the Red Hood.

Know what I love about the “Go research what happens in an abortion, and you’ll change your mind” folks?

It didn’t work with me.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with pregnancy, so I read anything I could get my hands on. Obviously I not only learned about the “wonders” of pregnancy, I learned about the dangers as well. 

Combine this with learning about how an abortion procedure is done, and you get someone who is extremely pro-choice because no one should be forced to go through pregnancy if they don’t want to.

I think about the concept of self-diagnosis a lot tbh. And here’s why.

As a kid, growing up in the 90′s (I was born in 1992), none of my behavior was seen as not normal at home. My parents didn’t see any reason to get my behavior checked out, so I didn’t get diagnosed with anything. 

When I got into college, I struggled, but was so independent that I saw asking for help as a weakness, and again, no one said anything, so beyond getting assessed at the on-campus clinic with depression and anxiety, nothing else was looked at.

I’m 30 now. I’m still struggling with the things I struggled with as a kid, I’m still struggling with the things I struggled with in college, and realistically, I’m probably going to be struggling with a lot of this many, many years down the road. 

Because I definitely think that I have ADHD.

If I’m watching ADHD TikToks, and find them relatable, it’s not because I see them as quirky and fun. It’s because I’ve dealt with those things before TikTok even became popular. 

I want to get diagnosed, but I don’t know for sure the steps involved. And at this point, it doesn’t feel worth the effort because I’m probably just going to hear that I got diagnosed because it’s trendy, not because I genuinely struggle.

Somehow I have lucked out with not one but two doctors who are listening to me regarding the symptoms that I deal with on a daily basis. And so far I also have managed to avoid the "Maybe someday you'll change your mind" talking point about having kids.

Kinda hoping this trend for myself continues honestly.

My #1 post of 2022

Started watching Gravitation again, and all I can think is that Yuki is a lot more patient with Shuichi than I originally thought. There’s this bouncy 18 year old with pink hair and a desire to be validated, and the 22 year old is just like, “Yeah, sure, I can give you this validation because I know what it’s like to want someone else to care about me.” 

And of course, while Shuichi can be pretty self-focused, he really does care about Yuki, wanting Yuki to know that he’s loved, regardless of whatever he’s gone through.

FIC UNDER THE CUT !

You don't know how much you’ve smoked, but the way your eyes lazily looked around the room, you knew you were far too gone. You only said you were going to do a little, but one puff turned into too many you could count and here you were now, sitting on some dude's lap who’s name you barely could even remember.

Yunho, you think his name was. He was the one you first met at this party, introducing you to the rest of his friend group. From what you can remember they were all really nice, no lingering eyes or touches making you uncomfortable. That was until someone got the bright idea of rolling up.

In your defense, you initially declined the offer, saying you had already drank too much and didn’t want to get crossed tonight. All it took was a couple passes around for you to fold though, asking for the joint after Wooyoung’s 3rd pass. From then on you only said one more hit, but soon enough you had smoked far too much. You don't even know how you ended up on Yunho's lap either.

The room was hazy as you looked through all the smoke, finding most of the boys equally as smoked out as you or close enough. Most of you had already forgotten about the party still happening right outside the door, until you heard a popular song come on.

“Hey y/n…” someone piped up. You recognized the voice to be San, sitting across from you on another couch, blunt in hand as he took a slow drag from it.

Looking at him dazedly, you hummed an acknowledgement as you fixed yourself on the man you were currently sitting on, giving him your full attention.

“Why don’t you go on and give us a little show, hm?” he inquired. This had all eyes on you now, the air shifting as all of them were all suddenly aware of the connotation behind the question.

“Me?” you asked a little confused, moving off of yunho’s lap. Only then you realize how close you two had been, his hand on the small of your back almost on your ass, the other on top of your thigh. You brush off the lingering feeling though, focusing back on the other 7 other men who are all looking at you.

“Well i don't see another y/n around here do i?” Chimed in another voice, closer this time.

“Yeosang..” You then hear yet another voice warn, Seonghwa maybe? No, Hongjoong. You didn’t really know at this point.

“You don't have to do anything if you don't want to.” The other voice continued.

No, it was definitely Seonghwa.

Sitting up straighter this time, you shook off whatever feeling you had and moved to stand up. “No, it's fine, I don't mind. Really.” you half slurred standing up. You hadn’t immediately refused the idea, i mean you alone in a room with 8 insanely hot men? Score! You’d be lying if you said you didn’t want to fuck every single one of them the moment you laid eyes on them, but you weren’t expecting it to turn out like this.

“If you want a show I'll give you one.” you say, slowly walking over to lower the already dim lights in the room, gaining a couple whistles and hollers from a couple of the boys sitting down, the others eagerly cleaning off the coffee table once plastered with rolling paper and weed buds to a clean surface for you to comfortably dance on. Was it safe or ethical? no, but did you care? not one bit.

Taking San’s waiting hand, you climb up onto the coffee table, not missing the way his hand lingered on your back a second too long. “San” you call out behind you, turning back to him. “yeah?” you hear him reply. Holding out your fingers, you motion towards the blunt he had been holding for some time now. Registering the intentions, he slides the blunt between your fingers, not failing to take a hit before he lets go.

Smiling, you turn back as you now hear the music getting louder. Intentional or not, you didn’t mind as you took a drag and started moving slowly to the music, getting lost in the rhythm. Every now and then you’d take a small drag while dancing, trying to ignore all of the hard stares and occasional whistles from the men surrounding you.

You noticed the music changing though, from a hot and lively song to a darker and sensual beat. You thought to end it here though, until you finally decided to turn your head and actually look at the men who were eagerly watching you.

Nothing could’ve prepared you for the sight.

All of them, pupils blown wide, ready to pounce on you at any given moment. It frightened you in the best way, knowing you had this effect on not only one but eight men.

It only spurred you on further though, deciding to not only continue but up the ante and take a more risqué route with your dancing

Lowering yourself onto your knees, you make sure to make eye contact with some of them as you begin to trail your hand from your torso to your core, slowly bringing it back around your ass, lifting your skirt slightly in the process. You swear you heard a growl or two from one of them and it makes you smile, happy that this is working.

You sit up once more though and take a drag, body rolling and moving your hips to the slow and sensual beats to the music playing

“That’s enough.” Hongjoong says, cutting through the music. Although reluctant and slightly confused, you stop moving, sitting back on your heels as you turn to look at him

“Is there an issue?” you ask innocently, turning to face him completely.

“No no, god, you were perfect.” he replied

“I just don't want us all to get carried away. I mean, I don't think you’d be able to handle what we’re all offering.” He continued. You cock your head to the side at his remark, moving to sit flat on your ass this time. “And who said I couldn't?” You cheekily reply, letting out a playful scoff once you see his gaze darken even further than you thought was possible

“Besides, who said I was going to take all eight of you at once?” You gave him a quizzical look, feigning offense to his comment. You stand up, haphazardly sauntering your way over to another man's lap, jongho you believe, and he takes you with open arms.

Sitting down with your legs spread on each side of his, you stare at him deeply while bringing the blunt towards your mouth. “open up for me” you whisper and he obliges, his mouth slightly agape as you bring the blunt past your lips and take a deep inhale. Moving your hand away, you bring your mouth to his, lips almost connecting as you blow the smoke into his mouth. You sit like that for a while feeling the way he inhales and exhales the smoke before turning his gaze towards you once more.

Sitting back satisfied, you clear your throat once more before addressing the room.

“I know you all may think you’re in control because I'm the only female here, but I'll have you know I always have my way. And plus…”

“I’m the life of the party aren’t i?”

this sucked... like actually. GN LMMADIFAUEB

If MBTI types were yandere dudes. #1 (ENFJ)

Haven’t been here for some time. Just life happens and hadn’t read any stories with Yanderes for some time. (And also being a dummy, I couldn’t remember how to log back in… @@;)

Anyway, as a way to destress, I just randomly thought what if mbti types were Yanderes. Dunno if that’s exciting, but it was kinda fun to look up about the types, and think about it. So thought, why not post about it for fun. (I have thought of other kinds of Yanderes but not doing anything with those for now. And I will reblog another time. Posting this late in the night. ;;)

Content Warnings:The usual yandere toxic relationship behaviors

——————————————

just in case… the mbti types as Yanderes are just for fun and I’m not an expert in mbti. It’s exaggerated so… I hope this doesn’t offend anyone. Lol… also this is more of a ramble.

✨ENFJ✨

Would likely be the hero who saves you. THE hero for everyone. If you go against him, no one would believe you. A charismatic leader who personally saved many lives to the point that they believe they own their lives to him.

On the surface, you might even admire him for his unwavering desire to make the world a better place. (Although maybe that depends on what he considers is a “better” place) But more specifically, he actually wants to make a better place for YOU. Wants to always be with you. Always be doing something with you. Will do anything to make you happy. Which leads him to wanting you to always depend on him.

Will listen to what you have to say (just word it nicely), but he’ll always make points that seem to make you feel inferior. But this is actually not done on purpose. He just truly thinks you need help. His help. And he will push it onto you. He will be shock if you don’t think he’s doing anything good for you. But then, he’ll believe you just don’t know any better.

He will feel like he’s a failure if he lets you down. If someone hurts you, it will greatly emotionally effect him.

Might fall in love with someone who has similar hardships as him, so there could be this emotional understanding. Someone who also has a kind heart. He would also be drawn to someone who is skilled or atleast passionate in something. Another type that he would like is one who is confident, and can somehow pleasantly surprise him.

Actually maybe cleverly completely leaving him (and if he does get you back again), would just make him love you even more. As long as you don’t harm or spew hatred towards him. If you do, he just won’t listen, so he can avoid getting hurt by such words from you. He might become more controlling with his “help”. But if he doesn’t get you back soon or you come back hurt, then it’ll just makes him feel like an awful mess. He might start neglecting his well being.

He would definitely fall for someone who encourages his goals, and makes him feel appreciated or understood by them. Although he would want you to depend on him, he would also love someone who is ambitious. In fact, he probably might naturally lure you to him by being there, being the good listener that you need. Encourages your dreams. He is invested in you doing well. Would like to flirt with you. Definitely have a way with words that makes you feel good. Won’t beat around the bushes when he falls in love with you. Confesses to you right away.

So, he doesn’t want you to become a lifeless doll for him. Heck, there is a chance he won’t kidnap you or at least not lock you up, unless there’s a “good” reason in his mind to do so. (Like you really aren’t taking care of yourself). But it’ll still feel like you’re trap, especially with how it feels like his millions of devoted followers are watching you. Making sure you’ll be there for him as he has been there for them.

Fantasy or isekai whatever : this yandere might be a heroic king who saved his country, thus becoming a well loved leader.

more of a horror touch (based on popular movies or books): out of touch politician doing something crazy like the purge, thinking it’s a good idea. Or a cult leader.  —————

Huh… I feel like there should be more horror added to this, but if anything, anyone is free to send asks to me. Questions, suggestions, chat, etc. I have something for INTJ. But maybe I will post that tomorrow.

no, i don’t think for one minute these updates have fixed anything. if anything, they remind me of the sheer number of laws we have here in california where you have ten laws for one thing and they all contradict each other.

you guys do realize that the blaze thing on here is pretty much post+ but repurposed, right? (don’t remember post+? don’t blame you. but don’t try to defend blaze, though, because it’s basically the same principle but the monetary part isn’t as explicit). really, listen: you cannot make money off things like fanfic and fanart, and this just reinforces the whole idea of doing the bare minimum of making what can only barely be called “content”, i.e., it’s going to lower the bar so much that the ones who deserve to be seen like your great artists or writers or truly interesting people are continually buried by inane posts. it’s going to make everything on tumblr all about who can be the most popular rather than just enjoying yourself and expressing yourself. you guys are already so damn lazy and anti-expression that it’s annoying as is, i feel this is just going to make this worse. plus, i feel it’s a solution to a problem that can very easily be fixed: the fact we have way too many accounts on here that are just liking things instead of reblogging them (ask any artist or nsfw account on here that left in 2018, 2020, or last year if you don’t believe me; i’m pretty much just still on here because i’ll explain in a minute). it makes the whole thing tiresome and redundant and further takes the fun out of what we do here on tumblr like with every other update we’ve had in recent weeks.

as for the tags… if you’re like me and you’ve been on here a long time, you probably have gone through phases on tumblr. you’ve had crushes, you’ve made friends, you’ve dabbled and gone through life, you’ve experienced some things. you probably also developed a habit of talking to yourself in the tags. you add a main tag to it, sure, but you like to go back and see your thoughts from a time before just out of curiosity, like visiting an old journal entry.

by the way, this new post editor that we have now already allows you to edit the tags like in case make a typo. again, it’s just completely redundant. now if it was to streamline it, i probably wouldn’t have opened my mouth long enough to say anything, but i mention this as well as the above paragraph because when this came about, it messed up pretty much all of my tags. stuff i shared and posted a couple of weeks ago, i can’t find on my blog unless i go to my archive. knowing how long i’ve been on here, expect archive panic.

“tumblr is like a library”, um, no. ao3 is like a library. tumblr is like your own personal scrapbook and the person making it shouldn’t give a flying rodent’s behind if no one sees it. this is has always been my approach to my blog: it’s a reflection of me starting from when i was 21 to now at 30. and what i like isn’t going to be found anyway, because it’s not popular.

this is another thing about this current generation on here that not only completely flies over my head but annoys the ever-loving fuck out of me, aside from you guys being completely uninteresting to the point it genuinely worries me: why do you all care so much about being popular? why do you care so much about what other people think of you, like why do you put so much stock into that? at least with all us egg timers on here, we’re self-aware. like, “yeah, i’m a piece of shit, but i’m here anyway, enjoy or don’t, your choice”. you guys meanwhile are like “i need to be POPULAR and my m*t*als need to be POPULAR and FUCK EVERYONE that doesn’t have anything NICE to say about ME”. honestly, it makes me sad. like, this is going to be your legacy, man, when you could’ve been my new favorite artist or my new favorite fanfic writer. but instead you all insist on becoming ~content creators~ while simultaneously being against it…? like… has tiktok and internet culture really fucked you all up that much? because you guys are not living or doing anything for yourselves, it’s all for other people… and what’s worse is tumblr is feeding right into this.

seriously, between all this happening here and the debacle over blue checkmarks on twitter (i think that’s what’s happening? i pulled the trigger on it for good last year and they rearranged the trending section so you can’t see what everyone is talking about unless you have an account now; i.e., i don’t know what’s going on), is humanity okay right now?

NEW UPDATES ON TUMBLR

there's been a few new updates and changes here on tumblr as seen in this post here via @changes. but there's only two in particular that i want to bring up.

LET PEOPLE BLAZE YOUR POSTS

i actually found out about this due to a few mutuals on my renji blog reblogging some PSAs about this whole thing. this could definitely be problematic for those of us in the rpc and don't like the idea of ... well ... weirdos and non roleplayers blazing our stuff so make sure to copy / paste this ( https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/USERNAME ) and scroll all the way down until you see this down below and turn it off. here's what it looks like down below:

ADD TAGS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND YOUR POSTS

i actually found about this one on my own via my renji blog on @nakigce and find it to be a super duper neat update tbh?? it actually reminds you "hey, you! put tags here to help sort your posts!" because organization and an overall filing system is incredibly important in the rpc. because our blogs are, in a way, a library or a museum of sorts. at least that's how i see it! here's what it looks like down below:

another thing i want to bring up is that when you actually put tags into the tag system is that they're now blue until we submit said post to the dash! this is actually pretty useful and beneficial because, imho, it makes it easier to read and shows if we've made any typos or goofs or anything. here's what it looks like down below:
