#or at least in the fanfic side of the fandom

[lazzerot]

I apologize for posting about German politics on main again, I should've used my side blog for the initial post to begin with but I was too lazy and kinda forgot I had that plus there's no real point in switching now, just mute the appropriate tags, I hope I'll remember it in the future. At least I'm keeping the main part of the post in English so you can read along if you want to be up to date with German political memes for some reason...

This is what posting fanfiction about one of the most hated politicians of your country does to a blog:

It's not even my own fanfic, I didn't write it and I only know it because it used to be linked pretty regularly in r/lindnerwichsvorlagen (approximate translation: lindner jerk-off material), a subreddit for making fun of Christian Lindner and his party. But since I'm boycotting reddit that's in the past now...

I used to have the self-imposed policy of "as little real life content as possible" on all of my fandom social media, but it's always my political content that gets the most attention. The most popular post on my side blog, which was my first ever viral post on tumblr, dunks on the 'democracy' of the EU by comparing it to the Eurovision voting system.

But all that aside, if you're able to read German there's only one thing left for me to say, which is:

Falls ihr nen bisschen politische Lektüre braucht, kann ich euch zur Schmerzlindnerung nur Nico Semsrotts Brüssel sehen und sterben

und zur politischen Bildung das Buch von seinem Bruder, Arne Semsrott, Machtübernahme, empfehlen :)

I think today is the day to share one of my favorite German-language fanfics. Habeck announced that he's gonna run for chancellor, Lindner was fired, it's been a week. A week worthy of this masterpiece.

holy shit it's elucien week????????

[kandibatz]

which spooky month character would be the one everyone writes as homophobic in those gay ship fanfics where at least one character has to have a homophobia arc for no reason

[zims-left-antenna]

did the club penguin fandom shift its focus from the penguin band and cadence to the epf ??

it's not bad at all, but I did notice a change in the fandom, y'know

is it because we grew up ??? o.O

A great plot for a Millory fanfic could be Satan agrees to not usher in the Apocalypse, but, the future Supreme has to marry his son in return. You know, because... He has his reasons? Politics? Wants grandchildren?.. A whole dynasty?..

Maybe later, these creepy sexist warlocks try to kill their newborn daughter. And regret it, of course. Before death, and after.

I wonder, would Michael already be the long-haired, mature Antichrist, or still an angsty teen? For Mallory's sake, I hope it's the former.

Would he be enthusiastic, though? Agree because his daddy told him? Or try and refuse, only for Satan to tell him "tough, get in the suit"?..

Do you prefer comments left only on AO3 to improve the stats and keep everything neat in one place, or are you good with comments still on tumblr?

That's a good question! Thank you for asking!

I think my opinion on this has changed over the years. When I used to post a fic on AO3, I only shared the link here on Tumblr to promote it. I wanted people to go to AO3 to read my stories because:

the number of hits, kudos and comments matters. Some people filter/sort fics by those stats, so the higher these numbers, the more likely it is people will find the fic and give it a chance

it's easier for people to find my other fics if they end up wanting to read more of my works

I love rereading old comments, especially when I don't feel motivated to write, and AO3 has it all neatly in one place, just like you said.

All these points still stand today but I eventually started posting my fics on Tumblr as well because I got the feeling that some people prefer to read them on here - which is fine by me because in the end, it doesn't really matter where people comment, only that they do.

The thing with Tumblr is, though, that a fic only reaches potential new readers if people also reblog it. If it isn't circled around, it'll get lost in the tags within the day and that's it. So the best readers on here can do to help an author is to reblog a fic and either add their comment below it or in the tags. And if they want to go a step further, they can then head over to AO3 and leave kudos and a comment there as well.

Now, I'm obviously not asking anyone to do that and I certainly don't expect anyone to comment twice. But I wish readers would just take a moment after reading a fic to think about how much time the author put into it, because we're talking hours, days, sometimes even weeks, months and years here. Most authors have regular day jobs and spend what little free time they have creating these stories only for people to read them in a matter of minutes and then click the like / kudos button and move on. It is, quite frankly, disappointing to only get likes and kudos on something you've poured your heart into, and also highly demotivating. Fandom is about interaction and gushing about your favourite characters together and getting inspired by each other. Kudos and likes don't offer that, and as long as readers prefer them over comments and reblogs, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone when writers (and artists too) lose the motivation to create or share their works and fandoms slowly grow quiet.

Can confirm being part of several problematic fandoms Changed Me for the better

i recommend being a fan of 1 problematic piece of media at least once in your life

[alteredphoenix]

There are so many anime gacha/MMO/mobile games coming out. It's hard to keep up with them.

[harmonicaorange]

watching bellamy blake edits on tiktok but they are NOTHING compared to 2016 vine edits

[spooksier]

other people sharing their takes in the notes so i wanna expand on this one hehe

in my humble onion, the most obvious sin of ofmd s2 is that it took the 'found family' ensemble cast that propelled it into popularity and completely rewrote all of them to seemingly fit better into fanfic tropes?? i really do think this is a direct result of the writers, the actors, the cast at large being WAY TOO active in the fandom (specifically on twitter) and therefore they seemed to write the show thinking that what the fandom was talking about was what viewers would actually want to see in the finished s2. which is where we get stuff like mermaid-stede, izzy suddenly being a poor little meow meow when the last time we saw him he was torturing these guys, all the less popular characters being effectively turned into set dressing, izzy singing la vie en rose while in drag, jim's new girlfriend for the ppl wondering where the women were in the show, izzy suddenly being the main character, ed and stede making up by the third episode, izzy, etc, etc

are any of these bad ideas on paper? not really! i'd probably read a fanfic with this stuff in it. but when i watch a tv show i don't want it to be fanfic, i want it to be a good story that THEN good fanfic comes from. i did see that they had their budget cut and the season shortened so im sure they weren't working in optimal conditions but idk i feel like they banked too much on the idea that anything with gay people in it is inherently good because a lot of the popularity season 1 saw was from people excited about a goofy gay pirate show that they decided to just ramp the queerness up to 1000 instead of like. writing a well rounded season. sad!

(also lemme just say it didn't feel awesome to have almost every non-white character in the show from s1 be effectively shunted off to the side to give izzy more spotlight but.......c'est la vie)

tl;dr i think every showrunner should have twitter forcibly deleted off their phones

has enough time passed for me to say that i think the reason s2 of ofmd was Like That was because the writers fucked up and listened to the fandom

One of these days my block game character ideas outside the yogs will see the light of day. Still haven't watched the media btw

Admittedly, I don't tend to read much fanfic in fandoms I write for, because I don't want to get my canon and fanon mixed, so my selection is limited, but I've never seen anyone mention the fact that Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu) had a big sister.

One of the children in their "group", presumably numbered between "1" and "6", was a girl, and when he remembers her, Shen Jiu directly associates this lost person with safety and comfort. He thinks of her as the equivalent to Qiu Haitang before Qiu Haitang: someone who provided a place to "hide" from the rest of the world. It's not just that there happened to be an older girl in their group, but this was a girl whom Shen Jiu apparently liked and trusted.

Here's the relevant quote from Part 4 of the Qijiu Extras in SVSSS Volume 4 (the one where Yue Qingyuan finds Shen Qingqiu fighting with Liu Qingge in the brothel):

"All those years, whenever one of his beatings from Qiu Jianluo was over, or whenever he had a premonition of another beating, he had crawled to Qiu Haitang’s room and remained there, quivering. As Qiu Jianluo was unwilling to let his sister see the side of him that was perverse and lunatic, that had been the only place where Shen Jiu could hide.

And even longer ago, there had been some girl in their group, their big sis. But after she reached a certain age, that big sis had been sold to a withered old man to be his second wife. Afterward, they’d left that city, so they’d never seen her again.

Liking women wasn’t the least bit shameful, but treating women like saviors, cowering within their embrace and seeking courage from them… even without anyone saying it, Shen Qingqiu knew that was horrendously shameful. So even if it meant his death, he would never tell anyone, least of all Yue Qingyuan."

So, on the very short list of people that the original Shen Qingqiu actually liked even a little bit, there's: 1) Yue Qi before he became Yue Qingyuan, 2) Qiu Haitang, 3) Ning Yingying, 4) "the tender young lady carrying the pipa" who "had long since thrown on her thin robes and dashed out in terror" when Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu were fighting, maybe, and 5) this unnamed big sister who was sold off and never seen again.

I've seen plenty of fics and fic ideas where Shen Yuan transmigrates in as a twin to Shen Jiu or a biologically unrelated sibling to SJ and YQ by being a part of their group, but not as this barely canon big sister character. He could give both Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu so, so many more Jiejie issues, I'm sure.

ZephyrChama's Obey Me! Masterpost

Updated October 7th, 2024.

Hi! I'm zephyrchama. I don't read much fanfic but it seemed fun and I wanted to try getting closer to the fandom, so I started writing Obey Me stuff as a self indulgent treat. As this is a side blog that I never expected to get followers, I can't follow or like anybody's posts or send asks from it, only with my main blog. I've also started writing some Twisted Wonderland stuff on another blog.

More info about me can be found at the bottom of this post.

You can find almost everything I've written in these links, sorted from shortest content to longest. Though, it is possible I've missed a few stories.

--

Headcanons

Self explanatory, these are headcanons! My shortest posts, some are even just a sentence long.

--

Longer Headcanons and Super Short Writings

This is for more fleshed out ideas: headcanons that are 2 paragraphs and longer or really short stories/ideas.

--

Short Stories / Detailed Headcanon Lists

These are posts with multiple paragraphs. Detailed headcanon lists with at least a paragraph per character and fics that aren't a page long.

Ask Requests

Obey Me! posts that are submitted requests.

My ask box is always open and I"m happy to receive requests! Please know that it may take me literal ages to respond as there is a large backlog, but I earnestly think about every submission and greatly appreciate each ask. If you praise me, I'm probably going to hoard the ask and smile and giggle every time I see it.

--

Series

Multi-part fanfics. Usually one segment for each character or segments that can be read as one-shots but are part of a bigger tale.

--

More about me!

I've been playing Obey Me! since literally the day the OG was released. I am a hardcore cosplayer so whenever a convention is coming up this blog will get slow as I focus on sewing. I'm close to 30 years old. I'm ace, so this blog has suggestive content but won't really get more intense than that. Everything on this blog is SFW. I have an A03 account courtesy of a friend who referred me, but it's pretty barren and mostly used to cross post more popular stories. Anything explicit I write will go on the AO3 with proper tags.

My asks are open but expect a really slow response because I am so shy hkgahkj. I take requests but no guarantee I'll write them, or it may take several months. I don't do much proofreading at all so I'm very open to constructive critique, if you see a typo please let me know! Thanks for reading.
