#made this in like 20 min so it is what it is

I cannot believe yall are fighting over fucking dbf!joel miller fan fics.

People

Let’s be real

Yes it’s an over used rope, and it’s annoying because it’s most of what these new people are writing about that are coming into the fan fic community and it’s unintentional drowning out other tropes that are also just as intriguing if not more because of how much is being written tbh.

I can agree with the fact that yes it is a niche subject that people get to enjoy at their free will and if they don’t they can scroll, but it’s been about 20 mins of scrolling and I’ve only found 3-6 new fics that aren’t the dbf trope.

No one is saying you can’t write it, but just don’t write it all the time. Try to expand yourself and your writing more and not rewrite the same fanfic over and over with different sex scenes. PLOT PEOPLE NOT JUST PORN 24/7 👏 I want a story that is ripping my heart out, stomping it on the floor, picking it up, putting it into a meat grinder and then spitting it out. The dbf rope wouldn’t be complained about as much if it had GENUINE plot behind most of it.

Like yall we can expand our ways of writing, I sure as hell don’t write the same way I did 10 years and I’m thankful that I made myself write different tropes from different perspectives because it has gotten me so far with other writers. All we are asking is to just think outside of the box and try new things, don’t get yourself stuck in the same cycle with a niche trope, or it will be the only thing you feel comfortable writing, and you might not feel confident enough to reach outside of it.

In a short summary: yes we love a good dbf!Joel miller fic, just not every night. Open up your field more and look at things with a different perspective.

Y’all can say what you want about this post but I’ve been reading Joel Miller fanfics way before Covid and there weren’t many back then, over the last few years and especially with the TV show adaptation a lot of of tropes are becoming heavily overused, not just dbf but I don’t think a lot of people are ready for that convo 👋🏻

Y'all ever think of how cybertronians could fit comfortably into a Jaeger's conn-pod or is that just a me thing?

I watched pacific rim and pacific rim the black a while back and yk couldn't stop thinking about how TINY cybertronians are compared to those beasts (esp when there's vehicles for size comparison haha) so ofc I, in my mecha au induced brainrot, couldn't do anything else but think of how the mecha au would work if the mechas were jaeger sized

the mecha au and hot rod's + his mecha's designs belong to @keferon

if i had a podcast successful enough to get famous actors on as guests it'd be a rewatch podcast of all my favourite shows except unlike all the current rewatch podcasts that exist where they waste time heaping unnecessary praise on a random guest actor or telling some never-ending, irrelevant behind the scenes story and skipping vital parts of the episode we'd be going through that episode Minute By Minute. tell me what the script said and did it change as you were acting out the scene, what directions were you given, what do you make of the song choice in the scene and would you have picked a different one, tell me about how this parallels this earlier scene from another episode, what does it mean for the overall character arc if you cannot discuss this show with the level of depth of a dedicated fan writing in the tags of a gifset of their favourite blorbo on tumblr dot com then get the fuck out of my recording studio

New therapist: I like to do internal family systems :)

Me, internally: I do not know how to say "I don't think adding yet another mental health disorder on top of my other ones is going to help" politely

Also her: this author thinks we're all systems in a way!

Me, internally: that's completely incorrect in every way, much like not all people are autistic

Me, externally: hm! That's interesting, but I kind of like being one singular person!

Her: oh, thank you for telling me!

Self advocacy is important <- I say through gritted teeth

I hate when migraine days hit out of nowhere, because I always feel so drained and exhausted the following day despite having been in bed for over 12 hours straight.

Someone tell me why you get an appointment with the doctor at a apecific time and still have to wait 4 hourse to get in (2 hours wait, then they tell you to go home for an hour cause they need to go on their lunch break) and another hour of waiting. Why do you tempt me with a clear set time and then let people without appointments and no horrible ailments walk in first before everyone else?

I put a story in the tags but wanted to add this afterwards. It's kind of a summary/breakdown.

19: "Dated" (mostly made out with) a coworker for a couple of weeks, realized I felt nothing special about it. (Story in tags).

20: Realized I definitely did not feel the same way as most people did about the idea of sex. Realized people *weren't* exaggerating when they talked about it.

20-22: At some point in here I learned about asexuality and realized I was ace.

22, maybe 23: A coworker (different job) and I told each other we were ace. She expressed frustration at the difficulty finding someone to date that wasn't put off by it, then asked me if I felt the same way. I suddenly realized I hadn't tried to be in or even actively sought out a relationship since I had a crush on a kid when I was 15. I realized all my thoughts about being ace and being in a relationship were only ever hypothetical relationships and I couldn't actually picture my real life actual self wanting romance. I responded with a half-thought "oh, I guess I just don't really care" but it was on my mind for months.

24: Got myself my first ace ring!

I don't know exactly when I started really learning about aromanticism. It was probably when I was about 25-27? (I think that's what I said in the tags too).

I went through the many stages, like

"I can't be aro, I've had crushes on people"

"I don't know if the things I called 'crushes' were even romantic attraction"

"what IS romantic attraction anyway?"

"I don't think I'm actually aro, I can easily picture myself in a romantic relationship"

"I cannot picture my actual self in a romantic relationship, the 'me' I picture is a fictional construct"

"I think I might have a crush on my friend, that's unexpected"

"oh never mind they did one minor thing that changed my view of them slightly and I've lost interest"

"ok I'm definitely grey-aro, that's what fits best, I'm definitely not 'full' aromantic"

"did I ever actually have a crush (romantic attraction) to anyone or did I just want interesting/pretty people to notice me?"

And eventually "I don't know if what I experience occasionally is romantic attraction or not, I think 'grey-aro' is probably the closest descriptor, but I really identify most with the general 'aromantic' and 'aroace' labels, so that's what I'm going with."

*note: i know not all aro people are ace and vice versa, but the experiences tend to be similar so ive lumped em together (and im aroace)

pls throw your awkward ace experiences in the tags i love them
