#lumberjack speaks

[lumberjack-halt]

In light of it being the 3rd anniversary of Nov 16th I'm thinking a lot about the DSMP today, and I have to say that I'm not sorry it all happened. I see a lot of former fans speak of it with regret, scorn, embarrassment, or indifference, and they are 100% totally entitled to that, but I'm not

I have a lot of complex, bittersweet emotions tied into the DSMP, and that sort of circle of MCYT in general, but I'm not gonna untangle that publicly. It happened, and in the moment (most of the moment) I was having fun, making connections, and experiencing so much creativity, and that's not something I can regret

I find it very hard to regret having loved something for what it was at the time, especially when it lead me to friendships like I have

tw: rape. 🍻

farm girl-reader who loves to visit the village after harvesting some vegetables, getting perved on by john price, who works in the pub down the road, which you regularly visit. :3

constantly trying to lure you into an alleyway, his bulbous and fat dick aching and soaking wet with pre as anticipation and lust rushes through his muscular, broad body, as he encourages you to walk with him...

you poor thing, you end up bent over, getting fucked relentlessly and raped by an older gentleman, someone you thought you could trust – or, drunk in his little cottage with the fireplace crackling, pouring alcohol down your throat whilst his fingers search places they shouldn't be. :(

Yeah no not to take away from what else Tea has said (particularly about Vengeance (which i still cherish in my heart)) but I can confirm Song of Sixpence is not dead or scrapped! We both just have a lot going on rn

Speaking for myself I started a full time job a couple months ago and I'm still getting acclimated to the schedule and the energy that that demands, and I'm still trying to let my tendonitis heal. It's slow going on that front ;~; Plus, other interests and fixations have filtered in and out of my focus, it's only natural

All that to say, I love Song of Sixpence and life and its trials and tribulations have not managed to pry it from my grubby little fists. It'll just take some time

please don't say sing a song of sixpence I will cry

(/j of course, writing you do should be what you want to do, and all your writing is lovely. Side note, lost my mind over your one fic with lab scientist tubbo and the hybrids and stuff, can't remember what it was called or if I ever told you, but it was very good)

Nope! Not Song of Sixpence. It's been on hiatus but I can promise it will return.

There has only been one fic I've abandoned after posting it. My second fic Vengeance of the Risen, was left behind after about 30k words in early 2021. I realized I was writing it for all the wrong reasons-- I didn't enjoy writing it, but I felt desperate to capitalize on the popularity of my first fic, so I'd made Vengeance a sequel. I got burned out, partly because the end product threatened to be about 60k words in total and I couldn't find the energy.

I've thought about returning to it-- despite being unfinished, it had a lot of fans, and I feel bad for leaving them, and the story behind. But I don't know if anyone who loved it back in the day would still care, after all these years, or if I'd be able to find the motivation to carry on.

Also thank you so much for your compliments on touch-tone telephone <3 That means a ton! Thanks so much for the ask dearheart.

Dipcifica yuri is good but I need more Dipcifica yaoi. Give that rich girl some testosterone.

Sorry if I'm spouting stuff unwanted in your ask box. But I had a deep brain thinky moment and I thought "at least with reader inserts we admit we're inserting ourselves into the story". A lot of "shippers" seem to ship because they've projected onto a certain character, and they themselves want to be with another character (who often gets watered down to a very attractive slab of meat with little to no will and/or personality of their own). So of course, prime example is Jon with his choose your own poison girlboss, but I've seen it in some other areas. Of course there are some genuine attempts at investigating chemistry between characters out there, but it's often the most viciously toxic ships/shipping communities that I notice this sort of self insertion. Of course I could be assuming things and/or judgemental but it's just a theory I built up after years of observing.

No, you are right on the money. (Rest under a read more because gods be good have my opinions on shipping and shippers in fandom gotten me some anon hate before)

It's why certain shippers tend to be very aggressive in their defences, because they have seen so much of themselves in a character they feel like you are judging them for a real relationship they are in. Refusing to see character flaws as a fundemantal aspect of who that person is, beacuse they don't want to relate to someone like that, so they invent a vision of this person that they have to defend beacuse they won't admit they related to a bad person.

It's a slippery slope to project so heavily onto a character in a ship you like. Beacuse you end up refusing to see them as dynamic people who are more complicated then their relationship and that relationship ends updefining them as a character. Example, I ship Brienne and Jaime but I also don't look at either of them as someone I relate to on a personal level. I'm also fascinated with both of their separate stories and greatly and think those separate journeys are what makes their intertwining moments so intriguing. But if I were projecting myself onto Brienne, then I would end up acting as if she was always perfect and her entire story revolves around a starry eyed Jaime who only lives for that relationship now.

Jon has such a bad treatment by his shippers, beacuse so often he winds up being that slab of meat for the other party. I know some people have joked "well about time its a mans turn" but the point is no one should be given the arm candy treatment by fans. Man or woman. Jon is such a footnote in Jonerys dialouge beacuse ultimetly he serves her at her beck and call with little agency. Because Dany is the one they see themselves as and thus molding Jon into their perfect partner means serving the worst aspects of a girlboss character, meaning stripping the complex agency of their romantic male interests. Same with Ygritte, people see her aggresiveness and sass and think oh my god shes me, and totally ignore the actual text on the page/proof on screen that Jon's time with her isn't happy or romantic. But they want to see themeslves in Ygritte's spitfire personality so badly that they refuse to see Jon as anything but a willing puppet for her enjoyment, beacuse they want the advantage of being her and having him.

Honestly most Jon ships have this problem, and it's partially why I don't ship him with anyone, and i actually ship very few characters with anyone. My time in the Pedro fandom I was infamous for disliking popular ships and a lot of it then too was seeing people projecting onto the female to a point where their interpretation of the character was just not what was on screen.

Casually shipping is fine, again I love a good analysis post about Jaime and Brienne, but like you said. At least with reader inserts, I'm telling you it's you. I'm telling you it's me. You know the reader acts that way beacuse it's who they are and it's not forcing them to be something their not just to force that character to be relatable to you in particular.

Jonsa, Jonerys, Jonrya and Jongritte suffer from this problem greatly, and during my time in the pedro fandom Mando and Omera, and Joel and Tess also were major sufferers of this problem. The male becomes meat for the superior female character beacuse you want it to be you and it being you forces you to turn this person into someone they aren't and this it strips the other party of their agency.

The males now only exist to be relatable arm candy, as opposed to reader inserts which do the work to find a way to make the reader fit into the existing world around them organically.

At least I'm being honest. I write Jon Snow x Reader fics cus I want to fuck Jon Snow, I'm not pretending like I just really like Dany and thats why I ship it. No, they're a terrible couple, but at least I'm honest about my self shipping. I don't have to lie about my intentions.

thinking about this flavour of frank when he was neck deep in construction, wild hair, but most importantly the slutty shirts that were both rolled up and unbuttoned way too low for my pussy not to flutter

[piperslovebot]

I love Jackie but it’s kinda annoying when people highlight Donna’s flaws in their friendship more than hers.

[juneberrie]

me when they're from district seven

[z-ppy]

I just… this stirs something primal in me. He prefers the teepee method over the log cabin. Excellent meticulous fire making technique. Also might be imagining him chopping wood. Mm. Yes. He’s the perfect man. @dawg-motif my dude you know

[lumberjack-halt]

Yknow, I'm never going to apologize for enjoying and loving the DreamSMP. I've encountered people in other fandoms who give me the cold shoulder if they know I like the DSMP, but that's not my problem. I will never "apologize" for enjoying something that brought me joy, creativity, and friends

You do not owe anyone on the internet an explanation for anything. Point blank. Not about your life or your interests. I'm done feeling guilty and shitty for something that brought me joy

hi orla!!! ive been absolutely o b s es s e d with lumberjack!price but oh my god I just want some sweet, soft moments with him. he’s the perfect pillow. Early morning cuddles with him, slotting yourself underneath his chin and pressing your face into his chest, snuggling and comforted by each others breathing. he has this little rumbling snore that gently shakes your cheek that’s pressed to his chest. legs wrapped around each other, unable to tell whose is whose and where who begins and ends where. It does stop him from stealing all the blankets he can, though.

- ♟️

mm', i need it so badly :( he's basically a human furnace, always boiling hot and warm like a hot water bottle!! cuddled into him with his burly arms wrapped around your waist, holding you close while resting his eyes. your fingertips trailing up his neck to his bearded jaw, feeling his other hand ruffle your hair and cup the crown of your neck with a soft grip. the blankets once wrapped around you now at your feet, tangled between your intertwined legs, one trapped beneath his and his hairy forearms rubbing against your back.

your cheek rested against his shoulder, rolling onto his chest as you whimper from your sleepy haze. his body moves slighty, gripping you tighter as his snores pick up in volume, kissing the tip of his nose while he snores deeply :( the cold, misty clouds peaking through the window, a winter morning with the sky still murky and dark. you know by 5am he'll be awake and away to cut some wood around the village, putting on his snow boots and thick jacket while you'd prepare dinner in advance :(

but, for now, you embrace in eachothers warmth, safe and coddled as the rain hits and taps against the glass. hoping for an extra hour or two with him in bed, in the safety of his arms.

Frankly, if a brand really wants to spice up the “rage advertisement” that seems to be going on, someone like Tampax or Always should sponsor just the most ripped, burly, hairy transman they can find. Just the sexiest bear you’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t wish the harassment that would probably fall on his head from it on anyone.

[astro-b-o-y-d]

DAN YOU ARE A LUMBERJACK. JUST BUILD A BIGGER CABIN.
