#literally don’t respect anyone involved in this interaction

[starbuck]

LOVE minding my own business while community drama i’m not involved in implodes around me…

[slowcatsisland]

Hey, i love your stories, can you do how the warlords (specifically Mihawk, Jinbei, and Crocodile) would react to finding out the reader is a former slave, but the reader is also a warlord themself, it can be platonic or romantic, I don't mind either way.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Warlords; Involved With A Warlord That’s A Former Slave

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A/N: established romantic relationship (well as romantic as u can get with some of these guys..) Takes place before the Warlord system was abolished. I had a hard time writing this without it sounding too ooc so if u have a different thought abt how some of these warlords would react pls comment and lemme know! I was gonna include Blackbeard but lowkey idek how he’s react I don’t understand him that well and I have free will to not write abt that lil hoe

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Dracule Mihawk: Mihawk was approached by you initially before the two of you became involved with each other. Your abilities and admirable Haki gained you some respect from Mihawk. Particularly your fighting style was something that stood out to him, and he was interested to understand your potential more throughly.

Mihawk’s stoicism and general lack of public presence fit your needs well. Due to Mihawk’s perceptive nature, I’d wager he had suspicions that something happened between you and the World Government because of your obvious aversion to them. Though, lots of people don’t like the World Government, especially pirates so I don’t see him bringing it up unless he was too curious.

Assuming you keep the slave branding covered, Mihawk would only ever see it if you willingly present it to him. I don’t really think that the dynamic between you two will change once he knows. He would probably be more accommodating for you at Muggy Kingdom and understands your character better than he did previously. He himself has his own issues with the World Government and for his partner to be a victim of the conditions that they set up definitely increases his loathing of the world government.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Bartholomew Kuma: (small disclaimer I’m not too familiar with Kuma’s character either..) Kuma was probably hesitant to become involved with you due to his own enslavement to the World Government both previously and in terms of being a pacifista cyborg as well as being a revolutionary member. Though through small, private interactions over the course of numerous years the two of you had developed a bond.

Once Kuma put his trust in you and knew that while you were a Warlord and pirate; you were also a rare, good person, he was willing to risk confiding in you. He didn’t tell you everything, just a little bit about himself so you were aware of his mixed life. It prompted you to reveal your own checkered past and sorta showed him how similar people become after being affected by the World Government.

You had told him about your previous status as a slave. I feel like Kuma would be disheartened to hear about another’s enslavement, but he would also be able to empathize with you more than most anyone else in the world (as well as he can for a cyborg..) At most I feel like he can only offer you words and wouldn’t be able to take any action for you. Though his tender empathy, even at a distance, is comforting to you.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Donxuiquote Doflamingo: (literally the worst reaction you could ever hope for. I’m sorry but to me I feel like telling him this is the equivalent to saying that you have a D middle initial in your name. He WILL tweak I promise)

Your relationship with Doflamingo is akin to a give and take rather than an actual companionship. Though there might be what he thinks is love present on his side, it only ever harms you and even others at times. His love is more reflective of a child roughly playing with his favorite toy no matter how tattered it gets. You’re his favorite yes, but for how long? When will he notice the cracks in your paint coating? Or the chipped pieces of your frame?

He was attracted to your abilities and wanted to form an alliance. This alliance did benefit your crew, and granted you more political influence in the world. (Though, I feel like Doflamingo would try to make it physical between the two of you.)

Doflamingo figuring out that you were a former slave wasn’t intended by you. You had wanted to keep that a secret from him as long as you could. You didn’t know how he would react, but you didn’t think it would be good. And it wasn’t good, when he saw the burn seared into your back. The whole world stopped for a moment, nothing heard except your shaky breaths. I feel like this would go either two ways.

Doflamingo would be disgusted. He would feel cheated. How dare you be branded by something other than him, is what he would ask himself. He used to own slaves. He technically still does with his citizens of Dressrosa. He knows their lack of worth, their use to him and his mind would clash that version of inferiority with you instantly. To him, you were less than before but now you’re just a fake pretending to be human and pretending to be stronger than you really are. I feel like his reaction would be violent towards you and he would call off the progression of your alliance immediately.

The other way I see it going (and it’s kinda sick in my mind) is that Doflamingo would feel a new type of ownership over you. He used to authorize people to get that branding on your back. He’d feel like you were reminiscent of his past and his former birth right. I feel like he might try to coax you into becoming a slave for him under the pretense of sympathy and understanding. This would be him playing the long game, trying to break you down enough mentally for you to be dependent on him and he would be able to use you however he wanted. He would also use this information against you too, threatening to reveal it to the public or the government officials. Even worse, the celestial dragons so they could come and take you back.

Disgusting bird this one is

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Hancock Boa: (lowkey I feel like she’s incapable of falling for someone other than Luffy presently but we can ignore that) Boa would only ever try to pursuit a relationship if you had treated her the same way Luffy treated her. If you had shown her a lack of lust and instead genuine affection or kindness, she would be down so bad.

One big milestone in the development of your relationship with Boa was her revealing her own personal enslavement. She told you in desperation of a connection of trust and to try to prove that she wasn’t worthy of you. She was utterly shocked when you turned around and bared your own identical marking to her.

It would cause the two of you to have an intimate bond beyond anything sexual. You validated her and her sisters’ worth and existence. You also showed her that the mark didn’t have to be something to fear and that she could rely on you. I think she would fall in love with you like how she did with Luffy and would defy the World Government not just for herself and her empire anymore, but for you as well.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Jimbei: I feel like Jimbei would pursue someone with a clear moral scale and have ideals that align with him. (Though he’d probably prefer fishmen so like if you’re human he might not be looking at you like that..) You were an honorable pirate and someone that Jimbei was able to communicate with beyond Warlord meetings. The Sun Pirates would most likely notice the chances of an alliance forming between them and your crew given the praises Jimbei has given you.

It was on an island of neutral ground for the two of you, enjoying the isolation and conversing with one another when it happened. You told Jimbei of your previous enslavement and showed him your branding. It wasn’t really prompted, maybe you wished for Jimbei to talk of the important history of the Sun Pirates and Fisher Tiger. The slavery of fishmen was woven between the threads of the creation of the Sun Pirates. It was a safe space, Jimbei makes you feel safe, so once Jimbei was done talking, you opened up.

Jimbei would feel sympathy for your mark and your story. But he’s also someone who would be quick to acknowledge your strength to overcome it and persevere to the status of Warlord of your own pirate crew. Jimbei ran a hand over the mark softly before thinking of something. He offered to give you the Sun Pirates’ marking over it.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Trafalgar Law: Law wouldn’t be looking for a relationship until possibly after he is able to complete his goal of avenging Corazon by defeating Doflamingo. Plus you were a warlord with your own crew, so the trust he gave you was scarce if he gave you any at all.

Though, if he did align with your pirate crew and you helped him in his goal he’d have a considerable amount of trust and loyalty towards you for the duration of the alliance. Through this, the two of you gradually became a little closer to each other, divulging in stories of the past and history in the small free time you had. Though you weren’t together and neither of you would mention the kindles of what could perhaps be something more between the two of you.

One late night, you let it slip that you were a former slave. Law paused momentarily before acting unaffected. A silence fell over you two for a couple moments before he mentioned that you were free now. To which you responded with a smile. It wasn’t brought up again, and your alliance ended after the events of Dressrosa.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Gecko Moria: (guys I don’t like him) Hm. I feel like he would approach you first. Especially in his youth because he was more of a confident pirate before he faced off with Kaido. He had taken a liking to your appearance and your abilities were well suited for tasks in his opinion. I feel like he would propose an alliance with an ultimate goal of obtaining your power for his motives.

I thinks relationship with him would be another one based on mutual contentment, you scratch his big back, he scratches yours. Though, over time I think he would become loyal to you and care for you of his own will, not for the sake of the alliance.

He found out about your enslavement through one of his nosy underlings, maybe Perona. It would reason that you and her were at least acquaintances. I don’t think this would change much for Moria, though he might try to express sympathy for you. Perhaps he might bring it up in hopes you talk about your past to him so he can know more about you and what you’ve endured. He is caring to those who he considers family, and he would be willing to consider you that.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Crocodile: Crocodile was most likely approached by you. Though being the business man that he is, the only form of entanglement he would engage in would be through a mutual alliance of some sort.

Time may change the context of your alliance with him, and your relationship could grow into something that loosely resembles a carrying couple. Yet while Crocodile has his own secrets you aren’t privy to, he doesn’t enjoy you hiding ones from him, especially if it affects business.

You told him you would tell him a secret if he told you what happened to his hand. It was the amount of whiskey you had earlier in the evening talking, but Crocodile always became rather amused with your drunken ramblings. He made you go first.

He was rather surprised when you told him that you used to be a slave. You had covered your past so well. You were always dressed luxuriously, you surrounded yourself and your crew with powerful people, and you had this air of unassailable confidence that he always wanted to control. It just didn’t fit you, being a slave. When he asked about the marking, you replied that you got surgery to remove it and replace the skin graft of the area it was covering. He could tell you hated that part of your past, and hated the World Government and Celestial Dragons even more. You told him you would wring his neck if he publicized it. Puffing his cigar in your face, he mused before taking a deep sigh and told you about the story of his hand.

Kinda a long one, I really had to think abt this one but it was fun to write

Mwah 😽

[nekropsii]

ALPHA TROLLS RANKED BY HOW WRONG THE FANDOM AT LARGE IS ABOUT THEM:

This is a personal challenge, based entirely on my own experience and perspective, and also ranked from Most to Least Correct. I was bored, and thought this might be fun.

Putting this under a cut, because it's long as hell.

MEULIN LEIJON

People get her mostly correct, from what I’ve seen… Most of the time, fan content of Meulin is absolutely recognizable as Meulin, but her pride in her deafness + joy of learning new ways to interact with the world through/due to her disability is always removed, and I do not often see people tackle the Toxic Positivity aspect of her character. That seems less like character assassination, though, and more like a combination of people not actually playing through the Openbounds, people not being able to fathom disabled people (especially those who gained a disability later in life rather than being born disabled) being happy, and general fandom distaste for the idea of touching anything uncomfortable, especially when that uncomfortable topic is highly mundane, normalized, and potentially applicable to them or their loved ones. Meulin’s toxic positivity was, of course, commentary on Tumblr’s ecosystem at the time, so… It was much harder to touch back then.

ARANEA SERKET

People tend to get her general, broad strokes personality right, but unfortunately she gets treated pretty roughly for the crime of Being A Serket. People refuse to understand her motivations, and she often gets demonized for what she was doing around/during [S] Game Over, even though that was something she’d gotten pushed to and also was cool as fuck to watch. God forbid a woman do anything.

DAMARA MEGIDO

People are right about the racism, 100%. It is completely despicable, hard to look at, and extremely blatant. She does, however, have character outside of that. No, it isn’t “whore”, it’s more like “angry, dysfunctional abuse victim”, and she’s genuinely a very interesting and tragic character. But, again, people are right about the racism, so she gets to be placed way up here.

MEENAH PEIXES

She is such a chaotic little bastard. I love her. I really do. Please understand that she genuinely does not understand the concept of consequences. This girl didn’t have a Lusus, she didn’t have parents, it was functionally illegal to tell her “No, you can’t do that.” That would fuck up literally anyone’s moral compass. That’s not me hand waving away all the fucked up and bad shit she’s done, we all know what she did, but people tend to forget this aspect of her character and it pains me deeply, because it is a very genuinely interesting concept that I want to see more of. She’s capable of regret, we’ve seen her feel it, I just don’t think foresight is her forte. No one raised her to consider consequences, or help her experience them in a healthy way, because nobody raised her period.

Also, her ass is not butch, she is the girliest girl in the entire comic. She is about hot pink and glitter and kiss marks and unicorns and cute little puns and you will respect that. She is not masculine. Her ass is not masculine nor is she butch. Let her be her hyper-feminine self.

LATULA PYROPE

Please for the love of god there is more to her character than “Gamer Girl” and “Mituna’s Girlfriend”. You are falling for her fucking ruse. Please. Please. Please recognize that her entire character is about internalized misogyny, and being forced to overcompensate for misogyny in gaming circles as a gamer who happens to be a woman. Please. I’m begging.

KURLOZ MAKARA

His character is not that deep, it’s mostly just a string of events he is mysteriously, inexplicably involved with. The Makaras are extremely Function Over Form- their characters practically do not exist, they're mostly just plot devices that exist to push the story along. I'm sorry to Makara fans. You just invented a guy in your mind and decided he was real. He is also not that soft, though, and his relationships with both Meulin AND Mituna are not healthy. Hard to stop people from ascribing cutesy squishy lovey dynamics to random men who happened to have looked at each other once, though. Some people truly haven't graduated from 2012.

HORUSS ZAHHAK

I am begging people to consider that maybe the biggest issue here is not that he is “Bad Otherkin/Therian Representation” and is in fact maybe the fact that Hussie was actually making fun of Systems when he was writing Horuss. Because Horuss is canonically a system. He uses the word system. He uses the word switching. He uses the word host. He literally talks about his Plurality at length in extremely upfront, plain terms. I don’t know how him being “Bad Otherkin Representation” was and still is the main discourse about him. It makes me insane. That is a commentary that truly writes itself. Talk about having your priorities out of wack, honestly...

PORRIM MARYAM

No, she is not a MRA, she’s just a regular feminist who happens to live on a different planet with different politics and social hierarchies from Our Real World Earth’s USA. Whatever argument you’re about to pull out of your ass to say that she sucks is bad. She already explained what she meant by that, in more detail, very clearly, and she was right. Half the time she’s literally just giving you factual information about what Beforus was like, and literal plot synopses. She isn’t saying anything insane. She’s literally normal. I don’t know why people cannot handle or process this. Porrim has not ever said anything controversial. If you disagree with this you’re either misconstruing her on purpose or you fell for Kankri’s bait, and that’s just fucking sad at that point.

Also, she’s more than a sex object, and her tits are not huge. Honestly, half the shit she was saying was just “I am more than my sex life”, and so many people took that and made her main character trait her sex life. Just pathetic.

RUFIOH NITRAM

This man is a fucking war criminal and I will stop at nothing until he is behind bars for his crimes against Damara. Raging misogynist. Total fucking cunt. Just the worst. If I talk any more about this, this part will be 1,000 paragraphs long. But also, I’m begging people to recognize his relationship with disability, too. He was similar to Meulin in the sense that he didn’t mind his disability, and his biggest gripe with it was the way that Horuss tried to “fix” it… Which is an interesting way to expand upon how Beforus’s culling system is not only very explicitly ableist, but mimicking real world systemic ableism. I also want people to recognize that Hussie is actively having a conversation about the reclamation of slurs with Rufioh’s character, and how not letting people reclaim such language is doing nothing but giving the word power against them while stripping away their own personal agency. Rufioh’s a complicated guy, and he’s interesting and also the worst, and I am really tired of how he gets watered down to nothing but “Pretty Boy Victim Of His Inexplicably Psycho Ex”.

MITUNA CAPTOR

Holy Fucking Shit, You Guys Are Ableist.

KANKRI VANTAS

To this day I see people saying he was just Hussie making fun of SJWs. To this day. To this day people think Hussie was trying to make Every Tumblr Leftist look bad, and that he hates them Because They Are Leftists. When will people recognize him as a bootlicker to the oppressive class and the violently bigoted. When will people recognize that. When will people recognize that this is more of a commentary on the legitimate real flaws of Tumblr’s politics at the time. When. When.

When will people stop portraying him as a lovey-dovey Catholic Whore. I’m going to stab my fucking eyes out and then kill everyone in this building. Me when it's based and cool to ship an aroace character with a sexual predator. I GUESS.

CRONUS AMPORA

I say this with every ounce of sincerity I can possibly muster as a person: What the literal actual fuck.

[gay-dorito-dust]

Heyyy

So I really liked the Damian Wayne x reader platonic friend thingy your wrote. I really feel like there should be more of those.

Anyways, k cam where to respect something similar. Can u maybe write hc on what it'd be like to be friends w him? Like bantering n stuff and maybe u can focus a bit on how Bruce feels abt it? Oh and bonus points if the reader is awkward.

Toodles!

Being friends with Damian isn’t easy in the slightest, mainly because he doesn’t make it easy for anyone to befriend him in the first place. So the fact that you managed to accomplish that was a major achievement already.

However that didn’t mean anything afterwards was made any easier for you just because you managed to make the impossible become possible. No. Why? Damian is one hell of a dry conversationalist if Titus or animals in general weren’t involved.

He’s basically an extroverts worst nightmare given a human form. For no matter how hard you tried to bait him into giving more then a one word answer out of him, it always ends with Damian not taking the bait and allowing a air of awkward silence to befall you both while everyone else was having a better time then you.

You: hey Damian.

Him: hello l/n.

You: how have you been?

Him: in peak condition, why?

You: it’s because I don’t see you that much outside of school, it’s almost as if your allergic to social interaction.

Him: Tt. why should I go out of my way to do such a thing? I have you as an acquaintance don’t I?

You: I mean yeah I guess-

Him: then I have no need to expand my friend group, for they’ll only disappoint me. Now is that all?

You: I mean there’s not much else to talk about at this point.

Him: good.

*cue to the pair of you sitting in utter, awkward silence*

When Damian says one friend is all he needs, he genuinely means it. One is enough for him. He doesn’t need anymore because he knows that he doesn’t have the time for them. Plus he might not say it out loud but he does appreciate your friendship, even if your both awkward individuals within most social situations, but he is happy that someone finally gave him a chance to be a friend.

So even if you were to ever ask why you were friends it’ll probably go something a bit like this;

You: why are you friends with me?

Him: you aren’t an idiot, plus you’re the only one who isn’t insufferable.

You: is that meant to be taken as a compliment or…

Him: take it as you see fit.

You: okay…

Damian as a friend would be protective i’d like to think? I mean you are literally the first friend he’s made so naturally he’s going to feel something when he sees you being friends with anyone else that wasn’t him.

Was it insecurity that you not day might not want to be his friend anymore? Possibly.

Will he ever admit to it though? No. This is Damian we’re talking about, of course he won’t.

Also being friends with Damian would best summed up as being two people who shouldn’t work but ultimately do either way, kind of like an ‘against all their differences they’re the best of friends’ type of duo because nobody and I mean nobody saw a friendship between you two ever happening. Ever.

Not even the great Bruce Wayne.

Speaking about him. If you ever got to visit the Wayne Manor and meet his father aka THE Bruce Wayne. Take it as a sign as you’ve made it as Damian’s best friend.

Would you shit yourself upon meeting quite possibly the most powerful man in Gotham? Yes and your sweating buckets on top of that, all the while Damian would be stood next to you completely unfazed as he introduced you to his father as his best mate.

Damian: father.

Bruce: Damian.

Damian: *points to you* this is my best friend and I expect that they get treated with respect during their visit here.

You: hi- hello it’s an honour to meet you M-Mr Wayne sir.

Bruce: tell me how you’ve come to befriend my son?

You: we were in the same art class and I noticed that he had no one to sit next to, and so I offered for him to sit with me, keep in mind I’m not that well liked and practically had a whole table to myself, and I’d like to think our friendship started with that small act of kindness Mr Wayne sir.

Bruce: and had Damian been kind to you?

You: in his own unique way sir but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Bruce: *smiled* you’re a good kid l/n and you can go ahead and drop the formalities and call me Bruce instead. I shall go and tell Alfred to add another plate at the dinner table tonight.

Bruce, upon hearing that Damian had made a friend, wanted to meet you within immediate effect and see whether or not his son made for a good judge of character and he wasn’t disappointed.

Given the fact that you were awkward aside, you were defiantly what Damian needed for a friend, and Bruce was happy to see his son finally get to be normal for once as he watched from the window as Damian practically dragged you out to the spacious backyard with an excitable Titus on your heels as the Great Dane tried to get up and personal with you.

Alfred: they are certainly a pair, aren’t they master Bruce.

Bruce: an odd pair they may seem but they even out the other perfectly. Besides when was the last time Damian looked genuinely happy?

Alfred; can’t say that I recall sir.

Bruce: neither can I. At first I was sceptical but I’m glad being wrong. I can only hope that a friendship like theirs will stand the test of time because there will be times that will test their limits with one another. But if they’re as good a pair as I think they are then they’ll be perfectly fine.

Alfred: couldn’t have put it better myself sir *smiles alongside Bruce as they watched you and Damian act on your own within the others presence while in comfortable silence as Titus fell asleep at both of your feet.*

Yeah you’ll both be alright. You’ve got each other after all and that’s what matters at the end of the day.

agere hermes headcanons !!

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

🌻 - hermes is a caregiver!! albeit, he is a rather childish one. he finds caregiving as something that should be fun, rather than something that should be taken super seriously. he values playtime and he thinks it’s one of the most important things a child can do. kids need to play to develop and he doesn’t think that would be any different just because the kid is physically a little bigger. he honestly believes adults would be way better off if they played more too— but maybe he’s a bit biased as the god of games.

🐢 - hermes really likes giving people specialized pet names! this isn’t something isolated to regressors but they do benefit the most from it. he’s a big fan of giving pet names that relate to himself somehow— calling people the baby versions of his sacred animals, for example. odysseus is his great-grandson with wooly hair so obviously he calls him a little lamb! athena literally turns into a bird so obviously he calls her birdie. telemachus, his great-great grandson (god, he’s getting old), is often compared to wolves so hermes switches between calling him a lamb too or calling him a bunny, because who needs to be as fierce as a wolf when you’re so small? he uses other names too, like darling, little one, and sweetheart, but he’s a bit ego-centric in this department.

♠️ - he often gets mistaken for being a flip because of how he plays and interacts with littles. most people are pretty convinced that he must be a regressor too, but this is just how he normally is. despite not technically being the youngest olympian, he practically is and he certainly acts as though he is. zeus lets him get away with all sorts of nonsense and he brings that energy down to earth too. it isn’t enough for his littles to play, he has to be involved in their mischievous schemes and, more importantly, he has to elevate them into being absolutely unforgettable! (and there are certainly a lot of good little!hermes takes out there— but I like the idea of him just being naturally childish as a caregiver)

🍀 - hermes has a very particular way of viewing humans. he sees them a bit as entertainment, something to alleviate the boredom he gets after being alive for as long as he has. which means his view on their rules and expectations is more than a little loose. he’s already the god of thieves and money (merchants— but what’s the difference, really?) so it isn’t hard for him to stretch the rules on practically everything. human rules don’t really apply to him either, so why should they apply to his little? he doesn’t believe in bedtimes, in eating ‘correctly’, or avoiding things just because they might be a little dangerous. worse comes to worst, he can step in and protect them! he is a little stricter on things like xenia and respect but that’s more a product of what values he was raised with and how zeus runs the show.

🍯 - he is constantly using magic. hermes biggest weakness is the fact that he can’t disguise himself as a human without immediately giving himself away. he can’t help it! magic is fun and if dazzles everyone around him. why would he ever want to walk on the floor when he can levitate? why would he ever want to pretend to be ordinary when he’s not? it’s a lesson he tries to instill in his children, making sure they’re aware that there’s no point in hiding the things that make you you. regressors flock to him because he’s the most outwardly, and loudly, accepting of these kinds of quirks. he thinks regression is cool and believes it to be a shame when anyone tries to push down an aspect of themselves that sets them apart from everyone else. maybe it makes him a bit of a peacock, but he doesn’t see showing off what makes you different as a bad thing (even if it’s just a talent you have— like how he’ll always grant a regressor’s wish to see him do something magical).

[pupcarisi]

Ok am I reading too much into the fic someone just posted anonymously in the Barisi section of ap3? It is basically Mia writing incest fantasy fiction and her mom thinks that it’s about Carisi and accuses him of grooming her, even though he isn’t. and the rest of the fic is spent bashing reader and dark fiction or kink with taboo subjects and the characters are all calling it predatory for even existing. I’m trying to read the fic in good faith but it feels like it’s just an excuse to call out people who enjoy fantasy writing that involves anything problematic in kink? At first it felt like a real Barisi fic but by the end it felt like it was trying to call ‘x reader’ fic writers predators and I can’t tell if I am reading too much into it or if it’s just a ‘you’re gross for enjoying this kink or writing about it and you should be in prison if you enjoy any of these things’ essay disguised as a Barisi fanfic? Like I don’t want to comment on their work or ask for clarification because it feels so much like bait but I genuinely don’t know if I’m just overreacting to it? It feels like it’s very much pointed toward certain people so I’m side eyeing in pretty heavy but don’t want to judge it poorly if that’s not how they meant it, ya know? It feels like they are vague posting about the ‘stepdad!sonny x reader’ fics and trying to call it out without saying so directly. Figured it directly relates to you so I thought I’d get your take and see if you read it that way?

attaching anon's follow up ask below too! as warning, this answer has discussions about like, everything. so minors do not interact (MY WHOLE BLOG IS 18+ PLEASE), mentions of abuse, pedophilia (NOT partaking in it. it's the context).

BREATHES. okay. where do i even begin? omg. but thank you anon, for telling me about this and also for speaking out your thoughts! i also appreciate what you said. it's unrealistic to think that the things i enjoy must be the things someone else enjoys. part of being ONLINE, having mutuals, is yeah you won't always have the same tastes but we still #respect it. tbh it means a lot to me that even though you don't necessarily enjoy the content, you still thought about the implications of everything and you're having a discussion here #ally

so before i go on, two things:

as a disclaimer, whatever i say in this ask is solely my Opinion so *glances into the audience* please lower any lasers pointed at me or anyone else... i am also NOT a kink expert, but i know what healthy boundaries are. and i also know what is FICTION.

here are two very insightful posts, on the topic of taboo fics that i align with (exhibit a and exhibit b. exhibit a VERY NICELY covers all the important questions people love to ask when it comes to content of this nature so i suggest you read that!!! because i fear my words below are not enough of a justice)

ok back the programme. you see, when i was first reading the fic, i really had no issues with it because it seemed like your typical case fic, plus we literally are watching a SHOW called law & order:svu but god. the last bit was the one that really threw me off. more on that later.

firstly, i am someone who BELIEVES everyone has a right to like whatever they want and also dislike anything, without having to justify why or why not. especially when we are talking about FICTIONAL characters that are OF AGE. (and if u like rpf whatever sure like that's none of my business LMFAO you do you!!! <3) so i was FULLY trying to keep an open mind when i was reading this. because right, it's totally valid that someone wouldn't like the same things as me and that it just so happens to the plot of the fic.

and second of all, as what you mentioned anon, that this is also /just/ a fic so technically, by default and as per aligned to my beliefs, fiction is FICTION and so it's reasonable to believe that the content isn't a direct critique of morality and not meant to actually target anyone. because simply put, people can enjoy murder stories without being a murderer and a murder victim, it's Fiction. so MAYBE... just Maybe. the original author just felt randomly inspired and decided to write this with no intentions. so yes, this train of thought made me very hesitant about forming my opinion. because again, I AM someone who is very open and i like to hope and believe that everyone has the best intentions.

but mannnnn..... i've talked about this to several people already and so far everyone is thinking the same thing. that it felt too... personal? i really do not want to directly quote anything they stated in their fic because yeah, as much as i feel Weird about it, i still stand that everyone can like/dislike whatever they want and write whatever they want, even if some things mentioned were oddly specific.

HOWEVER, i really did NOT enjoy what it implied, and hence i just wanted to clear the air, in case people out there DO actually take FICTIONAL work at face value. my biggest gripe about the whole thing is the part about minors do not interact + the whole line about childhood things. first of all, things that REMIND you of childhood (e.g. plush toys, bedroom) does not equate to CHILDREN. like oh heavens forbid i be a 24 year old trans man who has a bed full of plush toys and that i still live with my parents. and oh! i can't imagine to be innocent now? okay.... hm. maybe i just enjoy this manifestation of VULNERABILITY. i'm NOT a pedo for enjoying stuff like ddlb (daddy-little boy), because... you guessed it. i'm an ADULT and i only want to do it with another adult. anyway, i was trying to get a sense about how i should further structure my argument and came across this small discussion about the cognitive dissonance surrounding consent in little space.

and if this was more about the dark nature of the fics like abuse, dubcon, etc. then um. *points again at the sign that this is all FICTION, literally the same as your usual horror/thriller/murder stuff* exhibit a explains it better, but people also don't need justify that they have gone through XYZ (insert trauma here) etc. so that it excuses them to write about dark topics. again, we are talking FICTION. it's invasive to expect and have this particular "criteria"

lastly, i just want to close off and say that we are on the Internet. like this is a space that you choose to curate and have the power to. don't like something? simple. mind your business and just don't go biting at people who are enjoying it. if anything is NOT your fancy, it's literally easy to just click/scroll off and block. things of that Nature ALWAYS come with disclaimers.

and maybe you may say i am biting back by airing my thoughts here, but i think it's justifiable. plus, i'm not calling the person out directly? because if you have READ whatever i have said above, i still want to give them the benefit of the doubt out of my goodwill because of i stand for, that your writing is not a direct reflection of your morality..... otherwise, if that really does reflect their pov, happen to chance upon this and have something to counter, feel free to do so LOL... i'll be down to have a RESPECTFUL and POLITE conversation.

lowkey i feel like the joke is on me now because yeah, i did spend a considerable amount of time reflecting on this the whole day. it's not wrong to have discussions and reflect, i think that's how we learn from each other. but boy did i feel like i just got rage baited. but whatever, i'm not guilty of anything! so yeah. will i still write and enjoy my gross icky sonny x reader things? yes.

that's all from me :) again, to reiterate, these words are MY PERSPECTIVE. thank you for reading! if anyone has any other things to say, feel free to drop them below, in the reblogs or in my ask. but pls be nice to me.

[ectogeo-rebubbles]

What are your notps?

First of all, ship and let ship. These are just my own opinions, please do not let my saltiness ruin your enjoyment of a ship!!! It’s literally fine to enjoy any of these things, or interpret them differently than the reasons I’m giving for brief explanation of why I do not like them.

Anyway, strap in bc I have a lot of NOTPs. And again keep in mind that my NOTP feelings are based partially on the prevalence of the ship, and partially on how annoying I personally find it, and not at all on whether it is morally/objectively good or bad

Bashir/O’Brien - The canon jokes that people see as shippy “evidence” all just come across to me as misogyny and homophobia. Even ignoring that, their friendship doesn’t compel me either lol

Sisko/Bashir - I just can’t see it at all. I find myself more compelled by moments when they clash tbh. But because I ship both garashir and siskarak, people sometimes assume I ship siskoshir too, and I really really don’t.

Garak/Bashir together but in a non-monogamous relationship (at least in the endgame) - Those two extremely jealous guys? Sharing??? Yeah right lol. Also, that meme that is like “you two are insane, please never involve anyone else in whatever you’ve got going on” is in full effect haha

Parmak with Garak or Bashir - special shout-out to the character only mentioned once in canon whom people tack onto Garashir disproportionately frequently in fics. I know why this happens but I still think it’s wild how prevalent this is

Worf/Jadzia and Odo/Kira - Like, whatever. Jadzia and Worf clearly don’t respect each other’s boundaries (source: Risa episode). Kira was allowed strikingly little interiority in the Odo/Kira getting together plotline. These are canon though, and these dynamics *could have* both been good (the concept was better than execution), so like I am a little more forgiving of fandom trying to reclaim these. But I still don’t really want to interact with these ships or do that reclaiming myself (I’ll write them into fics if I must but def not as the focus).

Garak/Ziyal (Ziyal having a one-sided crush okay though), or Bashir with Ezri or Jadzia or Sarina - I strongly dislike thinking about any of these, but l barely have to even think about these ships in the fandom spaces I hang out in so it feels unfair to even call these ones NOTPs 😂

Hmm, I bet I’ve forgotten some crucial ones lol

[bookwormbynight]

the take that lawlight and other ships involving Light and an older character are not problematic because “Light Yagami is incapable of being groomed” is doing rounds on dntwt again and holy shit it drives me insane every time i see it because

(“you” below refers to people with this take, not you)

1. what the hell is this victim-blaming logic when you’re literally talking about it as something applicable to the real world. no one is immune to being groomed.

2. to speak of the idea in-universe, I’m pretty sure that is just factually untrue. Light can definitely be groomed and has many traits that make him susceptible

3. no one is immune to being groomed. Light being manipulative, “evil”, intelligent or ““mature for his age”” (oh boy) does not prevent him from grooming in any capacity. in fact those traits combined with his arrogance make him a easy target as long as the perpetrator knows what to say

4. if you’re uncomfortable with the idea that lawlight is grooming, you can just think and say that you do not view lawlight’s dynamic as grooming. that would be reasonable, at least in comparison to fucking “light is immune to being groomed”

5. (pardon my language but) why in the fuck would you phrase it like “I’m sorry but if you can *insert a bunch of things that don’t prevent anyone from being groomed* then I’m NOT gonna believe you got groomed” like do you know how you sound right now????

6. have I mentioned that no one is immune to being groomed.

frankly, as someone who doesn’t usually prefer to view lawlight as full-on “adult grooming child” (I do think the existing age gap is a very intriguing factor but generally it is not my top preference to take it to the extreme in my own conception of it; it is very interesting to see as an alternative though, I respect it), I feel MUCH safer around everyone in this dn tumblr circle than people who say that shit. respect and salute to you all 🫡

Oh, ick!! Thank you for sharing!

Dude I am so afraid of dntwt I refuse. Of course the drawback to that is Tumblr doesn't allow the kind of images that Twitter does so I miss out on that but with the combination of Elon Musk and the nazis and whatever nutcase discourse that regularly happens over there, I'm not touching that shit with a ten foot pole even for the sake of porn 😭

Yeah no the solution to something that makes you uncomfortable is never ever to blame the victim. (Honestly, and I'm psychoanalyzing again, I think part of what makes this circle so safe is that we treat this shit with the gravity it deserves, even when we're sexualizing it. Because what we're sexualizing IS the horror. The horror is what's hot about it, but the horror reaction implies that it's something terrible and serious. It's not normal or okay or impossible.)

I'd like to explore the mention of discomfort with the topic. That shit is normal and human. Not everyone likes sexualizing horror, not everyone understands everything you need for it to feel safe, AND, and this is a wildly different but still important factor in fandom interaction, not everyone DOES think it's plausible for the universe. You can think things don't match your headcanon for how you interpreted the work! I made a post yesterday along those lines about a fanfic I was reading! The thing is, don't attack real people (if you think someone's handling a subject in fiction in a way that does real harm, like E.L. James for my example, you don't send hate mail, you tell people why it's harmful and boycott the work); be aware that canon is subjective even if you have some textual evidence to back your view up - feel free to present said evidence, but nobody has to take it to heart and you can't make them; and above all, if it's pertaining to these types of topics, DO NOT USE THE VICTIM TO CONTRADICT IT. USE THE SUPPOSED PERPETRATOR. If you don't think L is a groomer, say so, if you don't think lawlight involves grooming, go for it, but Light Yagami better not fucking be a pillar of your argument because victims are never the reason something happened to them, which means they are also never the reason something didn't happen. People astound me.

Be kind everybody ❤️

[peasthedumb]

K, let’s talk about my self indulgent headcanons about Adam. Also kinda more like Psychoanalysis? Is that the right word? I’m no professional I’m just making this up

Ps: I’m not saying I think any of this is canon or correct. It’s what I’ve chosen to derive because I want him to be a sympathisable train wreck rather than just a train wreck I don’t like liking.

But let’s be real, this guy definitely has so many issues. Humans are social beings, relying heavily on friends, parents and partners, and general interaction. This guy was literally spawned in- no real involved parental figures or childhood for guidance, was the first human so had NO social interaction, and the first person he got (Lilith) who was meant to be his wife left him. (And did Eve too? That part is muddy for me but she sure as hell doesn’t seem to be with him right now.)

Obv not putting shit on Lilith and Eve, who the hell would stay with him, but even if it was justified, who’s saying that can’t fuck with someone who has so little human interaction in the first place.

All this to say: yk how he’s a complete asshole the whole time? He’s probably REALLY emotionally incapable/uneducated from his ‘youth’.

Also no way having no active mom or dad figures hasn’t given him issues.

And in that ep with the trial. Ik it’s expected, but his behaviour with the people in heaven is SO different. Particularly to sera. A) he actually respects her orders (in his own way), and B) in the trial, did you see the way he was checking in on her for approval. I’m taking that and I’m running away with it, do you know how insecure I’ve decided he is? Tied in with the whole no parents plus wife leaving, this guy probably craves approval from anyone he respects. And then beats the shit out of the ones he doesn’t (the sinners) just for some sense of control. Plus he probably gets praise from sera for it.

Another point I saw somewhere on Pinterest I also like which fits in with him having no parental roles. He might see sera sorta as a mother? I mean, female, older that him who commands greater respect and authority, and gives him his orders etc etc. He probably subconsciously latched on- I imagine him like that clingy toddler following her around all day tugging on her wings to ask if he did a good job.

With all this I think we got the bad end of the stick In the show cause killing sinners is where he offloads all of whatever he’s not addressing. Heaven is where we get to see him with his emotional blockades exept for him craving praise and being a lil pathetic man.

And he an Lute are cool. I feel like she’s the only person he’s had in his life who’s actually a friend to him, nothing sinister or based on authority or romance, and I honestly….dont think he’s emotionally capable enough to realise that. I mean, they literally spent every waking hour of every day together and do everything together, but he probably still thinks it’s strictly professional and there’s no way they’re friends. I think he at least realises in the end- did you see how he smiles at her? Something was going on there. And whilst I prefer not to, I do really see the ship to the extent I can’t ignore it, but it would be nice to see just some plain old evil buddies with valued platonic bonds.

All of this ignores Abel btw, I have no idea what that’s gonna bring to the table and I’ll address it when it comes, but not rn.

My dumbass was surprised that the man who started humanity had a child. Like, ofc he does. He started humanity. He just seems like he’s never met a real life woman , let alone is a father.

Person with the trans man who meets someone with his deadname

The reason I wanted to emphasize it so much is because the two characters will be interacting a lot and will become friends, and I kinda wanted to do something with that information instead of it being a random fact

I don’t want to be weird so what’s a better way to handle this information? As I also don’t want the information to be random and have no use

In reference to this previous ask.

I genuinely don't see why this would need to be anything more than coincidence. Deadnames aren't something inherently magical or sacred. (This sense of sacredness may vary culturally, in which case, seek out voices of whatever culture you are seeking to represent.)

I have had friends who had my deadname. Some of them know that (because I thought it was funny, or it came up because I asked them to pick up a package with my deadname on it or something). Most of them do not. There are exceedingly few trans people who share their deadname with anyone, including other trans people. Deadnames have a long history of being weaponized against us and being used as a means of control and belittling. There are people who specifically avoid interacting with anyone who has their deadname. There are people who are actively triggered hearing their deadname.

I mainly skirted over these things because I assumed that perhaps you might have already understood this. I think the insistence that you want it to be something special, and your chaffing against the advice I gave about it, may be an indication that you don't.

You do not have to "do anything" with this information. If you absolutely feel like you HAVE TO involve your trans character's deadname in the story at all (something I have seldom seen done by any author in a way that was respectful), the idea of emphasizing it intentionally just gives me the heebie jeebies. It would definitely be a paragraph starting with, "I feel really gross about how they did this," in my StoryGraph and Goodreads reviews.

I think it's important to understand that trans readers with our own unique relationships to our deadnames are a part of the audience, and we deserve to have our feelings understood and respected, and represented with that respect.

If you want to write a trans person who kept their deadname or really loves it, that's totally fine, but you need to understand that this is a rarer experience. I opted to keep my name for the first 4 years or so of being openly trans, in part because it was already a neutral name. I am speaking as someone who is more comfortable with my deadname than a lot of people are. And if someone wanted to represent my own relationship to my deadname, I think that would be fine. If they either were writing from their own individual experience, or had a co-writer, or were trans and had a sensitivity reader who was also trans and came from this specific experience. This is a lane that is only for certain people to walk in. I think your desire to make this more than what it is indicates to me a lack of respect for that.

I say this with all the love in my heart, please let go of this desire to make a deadname some kind of special bonding experience between a trans person and a cis person. (I could maybe see it being funny or cute if there were two trans people who literally coincidentally swapped names, but as far as I'm aware, in my 14 years of being openly trans and having a pretty popular deadname, including as a chosen name for other trans people, I have never come across a situation where that has happened, though I wouldn't actually know because trans people generally don't tell people our deadnames for a reason.)

[wayfayrr]

Ok so off my ask of what if I text in front of him, what if I’m on call in front of him? Like I’m playing and someone calls me so I pause the game and answer it for a minute? So if it’s obvious it’s my mom is hope he’d be ok w that lol, but what if it’s a friend? Or worse, a guy friend?? Oooor, a boyfriend???😂

That usually doesn’t happen to me but what I do sometimes is have a friend on call w me while I play bc 1. Company, and 2. I stink so much at the game so sometimes I’ll ask him for hints so I don’t have to look it up and risk spoilers. And I was at college too so my roommate would usually be in the room and sometimes she was known to get very involved w me so what about that? Would he be mad that he doesn’t have me one on one?

I think the first few times that you get a call (no matter who it is) he's more curious about it, it's something he's never seen or interacted with before. What do you mean you can just talk to people like that. Are they other real people or are they just ai's like how he used to be? Does that mean that there's some way for him to call you like that? (He probably does spend a stupid amount of time trying to find a way to call you ngl. And who knows maybe he'll be successful like wild was >:)) If he ever found out that it was a romantic partner then I think It'd be enough to shatter him. If he's gotten access to being online then I don't think it'd be too impossible to say that he'd send them messages trying to convince them to leave you (they do earn his respect if they stay through that though ngl) but if they didn't it'd most likely escalate into full blown threats.

I think in general he'd be a little bitter about having your attention split like that seeing as he doesn't get to see you unless you have the game open. (he takes it as the same energy as you going on your phone at a dinner date or similar - it's rude!) things that you don't have control over he can't blame you for but that doesn't mean he isn't resentful at all for it. he'd just be extra clingy afterwards, getting his fill of your attention before even considering sharing you with anyone. whether that's cuddling for hours in the mornings before work or class or literally becoming your shadow in those places. possibly even locking your roommate out or filing complaints against them to wherever he can, he's gonna be your new roomie now - why shouldn't he make the process easier for himself?

I think he'd somewhat have a love hate relationship with the hints too, seeing as it's stopping him from getting injured but it's also split attention. he just wishes that he was the one on call with you instead. </3

[jazzyblusnowflake]

Is there a ship you DON’t like? From what I've seen you seem to like many, even J x N from what I understood!

hmm. good question uhhh XD k here we go uh.

i dont usually like to talk about ships i DONT like because i dont wanna ruin anyone elses experience- its just unnecessary and unless somone asks me specifically i wouldnt share.

[also under cut cuz i ramble alot lmao]

can you tell im very enthusiastic about shipping and character dynamics? 🥺👉👈

now codegold and Jenvy and fullcompany or Luzi or Vhad even are all crackships, hell even Jessa is almost in the crackship area because some of the characters involved are either not fully developed or did not have any significant screentime and its up to the fan/consumer/writer to make their own assumptions and character developments.

i vibe with almost... most crackships? lol, because the fact that they are between characters who have very little canonical and/or meaningful interactions, therefore as a writer i get to think and develop my own interactions where... things yknow... "DEVELOP" XD like how some ppl take backgeound characters from mlp and give them and entire lore and backstory XD

like J and Tessa and even Thad who were very one dimensional and barely there. we cant even talk about J cuz liam straight up assasinated her entire poor fucking character. she has no rhyme or reason or purpose for doing any of the things she did thats why its not easy to like her for the sake of liking her.

meanwhile everyone likes villains like azula, idk catra, bill cypher, invader zim- not necessarily cuz they "have backstories" but because they made SENSE in their respective settings and what people KNEW of them. J.... J makes no sense 😭 Liam essentially didnt give us anything on her for us to connect any dots about her- especially not after somewhat hyping the character up to be AS important as the other cast but then she was just... literally tossed in the scrap dump of the planet. also Thad and a bit of Lizzy and Doll- ive been trying to develop them for a few weeks now for my MD re-writing plans and it has been HARDDD they make no sense in a setting where everything is just for gags and jokes.

but i digress- what i mean to say is- i like crackships cuz i get to MAKE the characters as i enjoy them >:"3 i love writing and doing character studies!

this all being said... i dont blame people for disliking a ship. for some reason shipping characters from shows fucking takes away years of your life- esp when you see one you dislike and your brain cant even bring a goddamn reason for why you hate the ship in the first place- so i genuinely advise people who dislike a ship to just avoid it- breathe XD maybe block the tags- dont interact so the algorythm doesnt try to bother you- tell your friends to not talk about it with you maybe- and overall internet hygiene- you dont need to try and convince yourself to like it unless you want to- but dont bother others about it.

and with all this being said now the ships "I" personally dislike are...

Vizzy, Noll, and Khori....

.....yep.

i wont elaborate on WHY i dislike them so much to the point that i had to unfollow some people just to maintain my sanity, but the thing is sometimes brain isnt convinced with "logic" so big whoop 🤷‍♀️ such is life. hope people who enjoy them have fun tho<3

hope this was helpful 👌

[baeiseul]

Yang Jungwon loves Bae Iseul, that is undoubted. In public and in private, he shows his admiration without hiding. He doesn't feel the need to display his respect and adoration in secret, because he believes that everyone in the world should know how lucky he is!

|| ☓ 𝗗𝗬𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗦

Jungwon adores Iseul period. I don’t think you get how serious this is for him. Heart eyes every time she appears. You would see him frowning while assessing their group performance, but let out a smize whenever she takes front and center. A large chunk of the Jungwon screenshots online are of his profile because he is always turned to her. Being this obvious with his affections does not concern him. He is an honest person and being in the same team as his Iseul noona is an honor and delight. Honestly, it has been obvious since their first appearance on I-land together that he would follow her to the ends of the earth.

Iseul is aware of Jungwon’s adoration and finds it so heartwarming and never takes his love for granted. Though she doesn’t feel any sort of romantic feelings for him, she does love him to bits and is very comfortable around him. She was one of the leading voices in putting him up as the leader. She trusts his judgment completely and whenever he is in doubt, she listens and gives advice with great care.

His eyes shine whenever she interacts with him and it is comically funny seeing literal hearts come out of his eyes. Rest assured that there are hours long compilations of this phenomenon. 

Fans are divided into two: those who ship them as romantic partners (not to fret, they make up a very small minority of Engenes) and those who are entertained to no end by their bond, whatever it is.

It’s very ambiguous. No one can tell if Jungwon is actually in love with his older member or if he’s just a very big fan of her. Don’t tell this to anyone, but even Jungwon doesn’t really know where his feelings lie. It’s all very innocent and pure. He is just happy to spend a lot of time with her.

Jungwon is her late-night diary, in which she entrusts her deepest secret with him first before anyone else and he keeps them hidden, locked safely away until she feels ready to open up to the other members as well. It's easy to see the extent of their trust in each other from the way they speak so highly of each other and are able to wordlessly communicate.

|| ☓ 𝗦𝗘𝗨𝗟𝗪𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦

Seeing Jungwon’s side profile more often than his full face because he keeps looking around for Iseul. Stay still, damn it.

Iseul letting him hang out in her studio and discuss lyrics with him

You can hear a lot of adlibs from Jungwon in her self-made music. He is also credited in a few, since he often has great input. He is always very proud of those.

Matching caps!

He also watches as she paints a sunny scenery on a canvas as she always does for reasons he hadn't know until a while of working together.

Jungwon, Bae Iseul’s human-shaped cat. 

Jungwon was the first person who found out about her past and about Haeil (see: Chapter : Sun, Moon, Star). For a while she asked him to keep it under wraps as she didn’t want everyone to pity her, so he kept it from the other members until the day came where she fully opened up to her new family.

She always films his dance videos and Engenes constantly thank Iseul for blessing them with more Jungwon content.

Just like how his every two sentences has the word Jay in them, he talks about Iseul quite often as well.

She often messes with his hair because it’s somehow always so soft and fluffy (cat!Jungwon, anyone?)

|| ☓ 𝗖𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗜𝗡 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗞

Jungwon is, as said above, often caught smiling to no ends whenever Iseul is involved in whatever is happening around him and quite a lot of the times, the smile he gives is identical to each other!!

The members would be talking amongst themselves and Iseul would chime in with a couple of her own comments and his dimples appear instantly :(

Or in another instance, Iseul had been trying to have the members guess an emoji in a miming game for some youtube content and he'd laughed the whole way through without ever trying to guess :')

Iseul would be off camera and enter the room to quickly get something she needed and Jungwon would be on a live and the moment he starts smiling his signature iseul-is-here-smile, engenes would spam the comments asking for her to appear!!

Jungwon's eyes shine when he looks at the bright star in front of him and it's a magical sight to see :(

[stupendousfoxthing]

Stop writing essays trying to fake concern over Jk and his wellbeing while filming the show because you know damn well you wouldn’t have been singing this same song if Jk filmed a travel show with any other member who isn’t Jimin. You are a Jk biased taekooker so aren’t you supposed to know your own bias more than anyone else? Did you close your ears during the very last OT4 Live where Jk himself mentioned that he was done with his schedules but still wanted to shoot stuff? Can you remind me who out of everyone seated there asked him to stop and take a rest else he was going to hurt his body? Now you are trying to act like that same person who is the same person Jk has mentioned for years that he found the most comfort is, didn’t care that Jk was overworked still made him shoot a travel show that he didn’t want to shoot?

Let’s be serious here for a minute since you seem to have this belief that you are the most logical person alive. Do you think that if Jk has other things scheduled during the weekend after his GMA performance the company would have cancelled those things to film a show? Isn’t it obvious that they filmed the show then because he probably didn’t have any other schedules on those few days? Would you have been singing this same song if the person involved was taehyung? You say things like this but if someone brings up the fact that Tae literally pulled Jk out of his comfortable chair and made Jk cook for him on ITS, you would write essays about how people are dumb to think Jk is a child who can be forced to do things he didn’t want to do but here you are implying that Jk has no autonomy even though this man has literally renewed his contract 2 more times since he debuted and I am here wondering why he didn’t revise the terms and and request for the “fanservice with Jimin” clause to be taken out else he takes a walk. You sound ridiculous as hell writing essays that are aimed at painting Jk a spineless puppet to the company.

You posted this video in your rant and as you can see, immediately Jimin noticed that something was wrong with Jk, he didn’t stop asking what the issue was till he was convinced that Jk was ok so even if you don’t have faith in the company, best believe that Jimin would be the very last person to let Jk do anything that is detrimental to his health and if these video isn’t enough to convince you, then maybe Jk’s own words would.

https://x.com/waitingforkook/status/1274373969542615041?s=46

“One of the most insidious things this fandom has done is paint genuine and valid concern as anti-behavior.”

“Valid concern” my ass. This is no valid concern because this “valid concern” only matters when it comes to Jungkook’s interactions with a certain member. If you had valid concern for Jungkook then you would have screamed bloody murder when Taehyung “forced” him to cook for him on ITS when Jk “clearly” didn’t want to. If you had valid concern for him you would have been mad about the fact that after all this “tiredness” and “sickness” Taehyung instead encouraged him to push himself and shoot more when he said his schedules were done yet he wanted to shoot more. If you felt any valid concern for him, you would have been grateful to the one person who told him to stop and take a rest when he wanted to push more, you would have been grateful to the one person Jk has mentioned several times that he found comfort in, you would have been grateful to the one person who didn’t stop to make a commentary at the camera but instead ran straight to Jk who had collapsed and was receiving medical care in Burn the stage, if you had valid love and concern for Jk, you would have known your place as a fan and respected his choices instead of trying to fake concern while cherry picking moments to be fake concerned about, because if you saw Jk gallivanting around concerts, or musicals or premieres with Teahyung even while being sick, you and I know that you wouldn’t have been writing this fake ass essays about concern. And stop lying to yourself that you care about Jk. You don’t because no one who really cares about him would have any negative thing to say about a show where he looks happy as hell and literally shouts out “ I am free”.

You sound ridiculous as hell making all these essays when this is literally Jk through out the show.

https://x.com/jeonmygoogie/status/1815372263937470864?s=46

You would have a much easier time and much more peace of mind if you just accepted that Jk did something he wanted to do with one of his closest friends. That doesn’t take anything away from your ship because right now you just sound like a butt hurt shipper who lacks every single ounce of objectivity and only sees what they want to see. But i guess it is kinda hard for you to do that because every piece of the trailer that you see, debunks some of the things you really want to believe about him and his friendship with Jimin because some of you are just too dense to understand that Jk’s friendship with Jimin and what he does or doesn’t do with Jimin has absolutely nothing to do with his relationship with Taehyung. Even if you sincerely believe in your ship, understand that Jk can still have other people in his life that he does things with. He can have other people in his life whom he loves, whom he hugs, whom he cuddles, whom he goes on private and public trips with and that doesn’t affect his relationship with Taehyung in anyway so for the love of God, stop trying to make the travel show a bad thing. It is actually a good thing that in the middle of work, he could just take sometime to do some fun things and unwind with a dear friend of his and stop saying they pulled him out from his promos. You know you don’t believe that unless you are stupid enough to think that BH would cancel other promos that had been booked and scheduled to film a show. They didn’t pull him out of anything. He had sometime inbetween his albums and music schedules and that is the time that was used and you know that!

You are so stupid it's unbelievable. The fact that you tried to make my concerns for Jungkook about a ship and other members really showed your whole ass here. You proved my "essays" right and I don't think you're smart enough to realize that.

Once again I don't know who you're talking to because none of the things you just projected onto me apply. It's wild how you guys repeatedly word vomit in my inbox trying to argue with things I don't believe and never said. Starting with trying to say my concern for Jungkook is fake (it isn't) and thinking my beef is with Jimin when it was the company that set up the shoots for the show. You are just wrong about literally everything. All the time.

✧˖*°࿐ABOUT THE AUTHOR

.·:*¨ ailís — 23 — they/them (okay with girl gendered terms) — bisexual enby ¨*:·.

ꕤ — i’m bilingual, my first language is french but i only write in english (though i might incorporate french in some fics/one shots).

ꕤ — i'm back in school for the first time after dropping out of college four years ago so i'm struggling with keeping my school-work-social-activist life balanced (because yes i also got involved with my university's student committee for Palestine literally during the first week of class). i'm currently a free student, meaning i'm in no particular bachelors program, and i'm hesitating between majoring in art history or photography. i won't be following any posting schedule on here, i write when i have time to and i'm a little bit of a perfectionist so i won't rush myself to fulfill your requests with writing that i'm not satisfied of.

ꕤ — things i like: blueberry bagels with cream cheese, autumn, concert photography, poetry, music (arctic monkeys, lorde, blur, wallows, inhaler, fontaines dc), movies (studio ghibli, nolan’s dark knight trilogy, irish cinema, french cinema), tv shows (peaky blinders, broadchurch, derry girls, true detective, doctor who, the sopranos, new girl), sports (montreal canadiens, liverpool fc, celtic fc, f1), the colour green, europe (but not england or germany), cillian murphy, david tennant, art museums, batman.

ꕤ — i’ve been writing fanfiction for years (it all started with very poorly written one direction imagines on instagram and wattpad when i was thirteen…), improving both my writing skills and my english vocab + grammar along the way. my earliest works available are from 2021 (on ao3) because i’m too ashamed of anything posted before that (and it was also very bad).

ꕤ — i’m very multifandom and will mostly write content related to my most recent hyperfixations. there’s a list down below with all the characters i read and am interested in writing fanfiction for.

✧˖*°࿐WRITING + RULES

ꕤ — this blog will be mostly dedicated to one shots, blurbs, headcanons, drabbles and maybe short series.

i do write long series on wattpad (and also on ao3 but that one is currently on hold). i’m in the middle of a friends series rewrite with a joey tribbiani x female oc storyline that i’m very invested in (this might be the first multi chaptered fanfic i ever complete). i also started writing a tenth doctor x witch oc au but i’m taking much longer to update this one as it will mostly be original episodes instead of following the doctor who storyline. i also have a tommy shelby x oc fic that’s been on hold for a year that i plan on eventually getting back into writing.

ꕤ — i honestly don’t really care about canon (especially when it comes to stuff like the dc universe). i will always respect identity traits that are important to the character like race, sexuality, disability, etc., but i might get ooc sometimes when it comes to their personalities.

ꕤ — i will try to keep my reader inserts as physically vague as possible except if it’s indicated that the reader is afab. however, i am physically disabled with chronic pain so i might incorporate some aspects related to that in my writing (it will be indicated at the beginning of the post).

ꕤ — i am okay with minors interacting with my sfw writings but if i see anyone under the age of 18 interacting with nsfw stuff you will be blocked. i can’t stop you from reading it but i am not comfortable with you interacting with that content.

ꕤ — requests will be answered once i’m done writing them. i will try my best to do so as fast as possible but i tend to write multiple works at once so if you see me post other things after you sent your request, don’t get deterred. if you send a request i don’t want to write, i’ll reply to the ask to also let others know not to request something similar.

ꕤ — do not translate, copy or publish my work on other platforms without my permission.

!! DO NOT REQUEST !!

major character death (canon or non-canon), underage reader or character, incest, any kink involving fluids, noncon/dubcon, self harm, eating disorders, yandere, abuse, manipulation, butt stuff, cheating/infidelity, a/b/o

do you really think someone who supports such horrible actions that make millions of people's lives miserable doesn't deserve hate? im a muslim and woc, do i not have the right to hate on someone whose vote literally makes my life so fucking unbearable? im muslim, a woman and poc, you do realize what her vote puts me and my family and my friends through, yeah? im not asking this in a condescending way because i've always gotten good vibes from you and you seemed so nice so i wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and ask if you really meant what i understood from that post. if you're uncomfortable by this question you can block me all you want because then i'd still be getting the answer to my question.

i don’t think anyone deserves death threats.

i personally don’t want to bash on other creators/writers on this app. i don’t like to get involved in it if i can help it. if i don’t agree with their political views or anything they support, i choose to block them and move on. thats how i protect my peace. that’s how i choose to go about things so i try to keep my blog about the things i enjoy bc this world is already so hateful and depressing. i use this blog as an escape and to write my silly stories.

i do realize that voting for the orange guy (which i did not do) has had so many bad outcomes and they keep coming and for that i am so sorry. i respect all woc, trans, lgbtq, literally everyone. i really do wish you best and hope this didn’t disappoint because that’s not my intention. someone’s political views and how they view the world is important and it reflects who they are as a person. i do take it seriously and so i don’t have to interact or have it on my dash, i get rid of it so i don’t have to see it.
