#its all in good fun

[lilac-hecox]

In all seriousness, if it is the Smosh Pit Fan Fiction episode and for some reason they do read something of mine here is my plan ✨️

1. I will be at work, so any action on my part won't be taken until 4 pm.

2. If I get anon hate as a consequence on here I will block and or delete them and not post them to give them the attention they want/will be seeking potentially.

3. If I get hate comments on ao3 on the fic they read from, the comments will simply be deleted.

4. I will not read the comments on the video itself.

5. If Ian or Anthony makes fun of me, it's over for me, and I will have to turn in my ianthony girlie card.

(BONUS: I am not going to do this but you can if you're nervous or anxious: lock your ao3 fics so you have to have an account to read them or comment on them and/or set comments to be moderated on your end.)

Ultimately, there is no stress or fear. I feel that, in general, they will be kind. It's more so the other fans that see fic as creepy I worry about but I have not seen one person overstep a line into being unhinged or dangerous or threatening irl and we are all just having fun. 🤷

Idk if any of you remember but for my 21st birthday, my friend got me a framed piece of 9-1-1 fanart. It's his birthday this week and I just ordered this on a card...

The card is 30cm by 42cm and we will be out all day and therefore he will have to carry it all day...

Mini genshin theory: Hydro = Actors

So i saw a comic a while ago talking about what connected each character to their element. And we know now that a part of the archon’s magic is automatically given to those who fit. And that got me thinking.

What do all the water allogenes have in common with Focolors to resinate with her?

Then it came to me: Acting.

Barbara, a singer and idol, must always act as if she were the happy perfect person her fans believe her to be.

Xingqiu, always acting after his favorite characters in novels, struggling to cope with the expectations placed on him by his family.

Kokomi, a war general who is also a gentle soul, who must appear always in control to keep her troops moral up.

Yelan, always acting, always in disguise, donning any identiy to get the job done

Mona, acting confident and in control when she knows she has no mora and impulsivity that rapidly drains her funds when she gains some

And of course, tartaglia himself, willing to make a total fool of himself just to make his brother look up to him.

Im sure there are other hydro characters but i can’t think of the rest at the moment. The point is: hydro users are actors thanks to Focolors. Furina had to get it from somewhere

i wanted to kinda talk about my opinion on some things related to Ana Huang and the romance genre in general- sorry for the rant!!!

finished king of sloth by ana huang and urgrhrgrhrhrh i actually really really enjoyed it!!!! (i say that ab everything i read tho tbh, i've just never been the type who criticizes the media i consume so PLEASE don't ever base ur opinions off of mine :)

my post isn't about the book specifically or even the author. i lowkey have a bone to pick and its NOT with ana huang or the book but moreso the reaction i've been noticing about the book (specifically from people who have been making fun of it and/or people who read it)! this isn't meant to start discourse or anything but i am open to polite discussion about some of the points im bringing up. this is generally focused around ana huang but also a lot of majority-feminine centric media has this same problem.

anyways, i'm gonna try to express how i feel as best i can without being rude or offensive ajshsjs-

it just lowkey irks me that sm people have been hating on ana huang now that she's getting attention, and since she's a romance writer, her fans and fanbase is mostly women and/or girls, (which is totally ok)!! however, i genuinely feel like this is just another barbie movie or sarah j mass or taylor swift scenario where the second something/someone that a lot of woman like starts to get publicity, people (mostly men) start excessively hating on it.

i have genuinely seen sm people dissing not only ana huang but her writing as well. now i don't know much about her as a person and i know that a lot of people are flawed so if she's genuinely done something wrong PLEASE lmk, i don't keep up w that stuff. and hey, maybe you just didn't like the book and thats ok too!!! its totally valid to not like something, but to make fun of an author and the people who enjoy her content just seems.. ehh.

a lot and i mean a LOT of people claim that she's only popular because of her smut but i actually enjoy her books more than just for the smutty/romance aspect. maybe that's just me, but i genuinely find it interesting and a lot of other people i know also enjoy it for the plot. and if u are reading for the smut that's ok as well, this is a totally safe space, and nobody should judge u on your reasons to read a book. the books are INTENDED to be fluffy and spicy and overall are just fictional romantic stories. they're smutty, funny books, not the bible. it shocks me how much people make fun of them.

i just keep seeing this trend of people negatively nitpicking anything and everything about authors and their writing ESPECIALLY when its romance and it just rubs me the wrong way. ive seen a LOT of people upset about huang including cameo's of her other characters in her latest book, and if you don't like those other characters so much then why... are u reading it??? THAT SOUNDS SO MEAN IM SORRY but its just so strange that people are upset about her including her own characters from her own series'?

its just disappointing that whenever someone or something becomes popular, there are always people who are just trying to be negative and diss it along with the people who enjoy it. i'm NOT making this post to be rude or offensive to people who genuinely don't like the author or the series, ur absolutely entitled to ur own opinion!!! however i have just seen this link SO MANY TIMES of people suddenly disliking something/someone bc a lot of woman seem to enjoy it and it just makes me a bit sad and disappointed.

(also side note can men stop hating on the romance genre and books they haven't even read? please??? can feminine people like anything anymore??? romance exists as such a successful genre bc the majority of readers are WOMEN who have to create fictional scenarios about being loved by seemingly "unachievable" men that are literally just doing the bare minimum. women fantasize about being treated with BASIC HUMAN RESPECT as though that isn't the standard, bc honestly, it isnt.)

THIS POST IS NOT MEANT TO EXCLUDE ANY OF MY FELLOW NON-FEMALE/NON-WOMAN OR GENDER NON CONFORMING FOLK WHO ALSO ENJOY ROMANCE!!!! THIS IS JUST A GENERALIZATION BASED ON THINGS I HAVE NOTICED, AND I AM NOT EDUCATED/HAVE A DEGREE ON THE MATTER!!!! THIS IS SIMPLY AN OBSERVATION!!!!! IF UVE READ THIS LONG, MWAH MWAH MWAH!!!

Hi, do you have any tips on how to get over the fear of accidentally making characters ooc in fanart :’)

I’m always anxious about posting/showing art because my friends have been in the fandom for longer than me, and I’m worried if they’ll judge me if I accidentally make a character ooc because I’m new

Making things that are 'out of character' for fun is fun sometimes n theres nothing wrong with it IMO, i dont see any point in limiting fan content in that way. It's not like ur saying its canon or would happen and even if u are everyone interprets media differently!! Dont let any1 stop u from havin fun!! But if ur rly worried u can always just ask em 'do u think x would do x' before u make anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but i say draw and post whatever u like!

instituting the Egg Jar (a dollar per egg action) for my "husband" may backfire

im now under threat of being called a "precog chaser" by my beloved of 12 years

[salt-baby]

my coworker was ragging on me and joked that I kinda looked like a robot because of the clothes I had on

so I rolled up my pant leg to expose my metal orthotics and went "you can't say that to me, it's a micro aggression"

except I forgot I was escorting a new hire who was completely confused

whoops

tell us about the susie haltmann batman thing

ah! the susie/batman AU thing that I had as an idea whilst I was having a partial mental breakdown. for some reason the idea snapped me out of it so heres a basic rundown.

DISCLAIMER: I havent watched the Nolan batman movies yet.

susie haltmann was an orphan*. her mother was lost to vague circumstances, her father to capitalism. so she did what all tortured orphan billionaires do, (help the poor? naww) become a cool vigilante. marx is also there and is the thinly-veiled joker expy main villain because screw the timeline. might give some other characters the villain treatment too (thinking of dedede as two face andmagolor as bane, why? funny.) so i have the sort of outline for it, but things will probably change once I, y'know, actually watch the Nolan movies.

*still is

my unpopular genshin opinions go (opinions, remember. i am usually wrong.)

- C6 benny is not the end of the world, just do it

- gitcg is fun, but the rounds take too long. i never play it.

- the abyss has not been worth doing in a long time. the effort put in just doesn't equal the rewards, and it keeps getting harder. (i still do it.)

- razor walked so eula could run

- ning should be a 5 star. she can self buff, self guard, and can spam charged attacks with little to no effort, AND has an incredibly cheap but powerful burst. she is one of the best catalysts in the game, but i think because she's geo she often gets overlooked by the player base.

- the oceanid is actually fun. at least you get a different lineup every time.

- diluc is one of the most well rounded 5 stars in game. he's low investment/high return, easy to use, and easy to build, so many f2p options work for him. and he works in SO MANY team comps. i don't use him, but even i will admit he's an easy 5 star to use.

- genshin has a great story, but sucks at telling it sometimes. so much text, so little exposition and scene setting. i hate reading a short novel before i can walk 5 steps, just to do it again.

- fuck specters all my homies hate specters.

Actually, Jenny does get bullied about her feelings for Rupert. And she deserves it

I must say I'm also a person that's not into ianthony any more but I love you writing so much ! Your writing always has me interested!

Thank you! That is so sweet and honestly bless anyone that follows me and doesn't ship ianthony because I'm such garbage for them. Their dynamic hits all the things I like about a pairing. Even them in a non-shipping way is a beautiful example of the bonds of friendship, time, and forgiveness.
