#if you don't like something

People are acting stupid in the KimChay tag, so let's spread a little love with another fic rec post! Here are a few of my favorite G/T rated stories, feel free to reblog and add your own!

Information Exchange by AirgiodSLV

This is one of the cutest fics I’ve ever read. Airgiod always has such great characterization, I can see this fitting in right alongside canon. You can feel how much all of the brother’s care about each other, even if they don’t show it in the same ways, and it makes my heart melt. 

Thin line (between love and hate) by Amuse_me

Okay so technically this one is very angsty, not fluffy, but it is rated T! Chay absolutely fails at becoming a Wik anti, and their interactions throughout the story as Kim continuously, and publicly, acknowledges that he hurt Chay, even while his fans are trying to discount him, hurts so good. 

Black scales, red heart by Frog_of_fandom

I have had a weakness for naga AUs since my very early fandom days, for like 10 years now. I cannot express how much I adore this fic. I would sell my kidney, my liver, and half of my soul for more fics exactly like this, because it is perfect. Just the way everything is described, and how Kim’s characterization is so reptilian yet still so warm, even while he has no idea what he’s doing-god, I love it. He’s trying so hard to do nice things for Chay but he keeps mucking it up, and he’s so cute when he’s getting nose scritches in his snake form 

The Soup Is Mad At Me by Kat8cha

Technically this is smutty, but it’s outweighed by the sick-fic fluff, so I’m counting it. What I can’t count is just how many times I’ve reread this fic. Occasionally I’ll get in the mood for some good old sickfic, and man, does this one deliver. Kim is so pitiful, but he’s choosing to be that way, bc this is the one time it’s safe for him to let his guard down and be taken care of, and it’s the best thing. 

Wikubus by AIrgiodSLV

This fic is one of the funniest things ever. Airgiod really took sex demon!Kim and made him into a marshmallow that I want to bundle up and protect. I’m with Chay: he deserves to be absolutely roasted for his “””signature move”””

Seeing some people say that there have been problems in the community for canines, and the fact that I have to say this but....

Canines are welcome on my blog!!! This is a safe space for everyone, and everyone includes canines

I'm finishing up the next chapter of one of my fics and I'm so happy that it's almost done. But I can't help but think of last year when I got god awful comments from one nasty person. Like, I was a teacher for a bit and I can tell you that it was far from constructive criticism/feedback. And I know you just have to shake it off but it was so unkind and kinda fucked me up a bit. I'm better about it now, I'm still updating my fics (I refuse to abandon any of them) but part of me also doesn't know how to write like I did. I'm having to try and learn how to write again, which feels silly to say but it's true. I don't know how I wrote like I did before. I dunno... this is just me rambling but I know I'll get there. I'm lucky that I have friends who like my work and help me edit it, plus a lot of nice people who bookmarked and commented on my main fics about how much they are excited to read more. That shit keeps me going, you know? Just gotta remember that I am writing for myself and no one else.

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

The math just adds up!

hii i recently fell in love with movies again so i made a uquiz where you can find out which actor would play you in a film about your life.

[mrtequilasunset]

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

Yeah, Kris is definitely NOT alright.
