Hey Fic Reader, yeah you! If you like a fic, say something, hit like, reblog or comment, anything to let the author know you like thier stuff. Yes YOU!
Am hearing a trickling of info that people like my stuff, but when I look at the likes, comments, and reblogs on the pieces mentioned, I'm not seeing the folks mentioned in this second hand info anywhere.
I'm so frustrated right now because I seriously doubt my writing skills even though I've been writing fic since I was 14 which was more than a few years ago.
Do you know how many times I have wanted to completely delete Blinded By the Fog because it doesn't feel like anyone gives a shit about it? Same for Stick Handling and all the other series I've been working on.
Seriously if you like an author's work, PLEASE tell them by liking, reblogging and/or commenting. This isn't me begging for me, this is me begging for every other writer on Tumblr, AO3, and everywhere else. Your feedback is what keeps us writing, keeps us driving behind the keyboard. If you want to see more from a writer, tell them, do not assume someone else will tell them for you.

To all the posts on tiktok and insta going on about how their clothing is to specific moments in their lives together (on camera)... can I tell them that people don't have an infinite wardrobe without them breaking down? Like calm the fuck down. How many times do we wear the same shirt cause it's comfortable or it just looks good?
This reminds me of how dating rumours in the kpop industry begin. Matching jewelry. Matching clothes. When all I see is... oh yeah, looks aight.
Below is a brain vomit on softpower? I think.
I just had a thought about how soft power countries like Korea and Japan have given Thailand a module to succeed using tourism and entertainment to boost their economy through producing artists. At this point, as much reign on the artist's private is on par to that of the Korean entertainment industry. Unlike Japan who have their artists more or less discreet. However using Japan and Korea as stepping stones, Thailand realized that they can take it a step further by legalizing gay marriage and protecting gay right to draw more foreigners in to boost commerce and bring in foreign trade with international advancements for their own profit if they see Thailand as this progressive country...
AAAAAHHHHHH MY HEAD IS GOING DOWN A RABBIT HOLE!
Oh fuck..
Anyway does anyone know where I can get a copy of love upon a time by littlebear96. I want to buy the book directly. I don't if it's still in Thai.

Book Recommendations <3
So this book is an historical romance and mystery novel with a strong female main character, and if you want more book boyfriends and girlfriends to add to your collection then you need to read it and share who your newest obsession is.
There are bushrangers, a murder mystery, a slow burn love story, and heaps of suspense.
It's called Among The Grey Gums and it's by an Australian author that is probably one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet (my favourite non-biological family member).
Unfortunately the book hasn't sold enough copies yet and she now has to look for a new publisher, if you are interested in the genre and want to support a small author I urge you to buy a copy of her works. Among The Grey Gums is her second book and it has gotten me into the Historical fiction genre.
PS. There's no spicy scenes :)
PSPS. Here's where to get the audiobook (there's a huge sale at the moment): https://amzn.asia/d/3deqWvE
Edit: I forgot to mention - there's an adult puppy

Hi everyone, please subscribe to my poetry blog as maintaining it and raking my brain for legible scraps is verily taxing.
Please like and read, even share if you know someone else who'd like the infection of madness and the inflection of this Irishman lacking gladness.
I could prattle on for years but you'd be dear to me indeed if you would subscribe and read, or share with enemies and eminent friends. Leave me a comment about anything at all. Even to call me a big giant bollocks, or ask me from where do I fetch my obscenities. I love to chat, gift/curse of gab.
I'm Mike, I'm 32 next month. I work in poker and despise it. I want write for a living and create poetry, that's my dream; drown me in Hippocrene.

Tumblr media
It isn’t like you’re not supportive of your boyfriend. You’ve always been there for every idea, even if you thought that it wasn’t the best one. The things you have to deal with him being an idol settled deep into your mind, already accepting the consequences that may come in the way. But it’s not like you would ever give up your relationship with Chan just because he’s doing risky things that you may not like. 
To be honest, it kind of became an advantage for you. 
You would watch him having fun on stage with the other members, sometimes splashing water at each other, making everyone in the crowd either cheer or laugh at their silly behavior. There were times when they got sentimental, wishing all the happiness for STAY and the members for the future. It made you emotional just in the same way as you would watch them through the TV in your shared apartment. 
And then there were times where you couldn’t help but squeeze your thighs together and wait for him.
Tumblr media
“Had fun today?” 
The sarcastic tone caught Chan’s attention as he’s doing his everyday night routine, just as he’s finishing up his shaving session. He knows exactly why you’re talking and reacting to him this way, you’ve been all fidgety with him since he got home from the first day of the tour, and when he stepped inside the apartment he saw you still sitting on the couch, not welcoming him in with the usual hug he gets. 
Chan looks a little bit to the side so he can get a reflection of you changing in the room, the towel you used laying on the ground after taking a shower. Without him. 
“Of course.It’s always heartwarming to meet with STAY’s. And the kids were so hyped about getting solo stages too.”
Now that just boils your blood. 
“Oh, were they?” You keep your back facing him,not letting him see how frustrated you really are about the game he’s playing. “They were doing an amazing job indeed.” You shut your eyes momentarily before putting on your velvet nightgown, and slowly walking towards the bathroom where your boyfriend is staying. 
“Yeah, I assume you saw mine too, right? Did you see the special makeup they did on me?” With pride he chuckles while putting away his shaving equipment, patting his dry as he picks up his toothbrush. His question should have a very easy and simple answer, yet here you are ready to give him a brainwash about not caring about your mental health. Cause what the hell was that? You can’t even form the offensive words you want to say to him out of frustration, you could never say anything negative about his performances in general — but the way he’s talking about it, so full of himself, you can’t help yourself. “I wonder who made all that.” It slips out, biting down on your lip softly to stop yourself from further embarrassment. 
“It must’ve been the makeup artist of course, but I could’ve done a better job if you ask me.” You step into the bathroom just as you finish your sentence, Chan unable to answer due to his mouth full with mint scented bubbles. 
As you want to pass behind him, you swipe your delicate fingers on his defined back muscles, the photos of him painted in scratches for the performance fills your vision. 
“Makeup was unnecessary,to be honest.” 
There’s something glinting in Chan’s eyes as a lopsided smile appears on his face, looking at you through the mirror placed above the bathroom counter. As the words leave your lips, he licks his plump lips slowly, putting away his toothbrush he just used. “If I had asked you, would you do it?” 
The air stops suddenly in your throat,taking your eyes off of him as you busy yourself with something else infront of you. “Well…it doesn’t matter now.” 
“Oh it does, honey.” Chan says lowly, his voice suddenly closer as you want it to, and you know perfectly he’s only a step away from you. “If I only knew my baby just wanted to help me out in my solo,” He snakes his arms around your waist slowly, his bare chest pressing into your clothed back as he’s standing behind you, whispering in your ear. “I could’ve used some help.” With that, he pressed a slow open mouth kiss on the side of your neck. his hands caressing the skin on your stomach. 
“Should we recreate it and show it to my makeup artist?”
Chan whispers against your ear, biting down slightly on your earlobe as he makes eye contact with you through the mirror. You look already disheveled just from his touch, your nightgown scrunched slightly up as he kneads your stomach, one of his hands slowly inching up to your breasts. “Would you like that, baby?” 
“I didn’t mean it like that, Chan – mhphm…” A small moan leaves your lips as he pinches your nipple in his slender fingers, continuing to make out with your neck as you try and compose yourself. 
“How did you mean it then?” He grunts out as you push your backside on his crotch, his cock twitching already in his sleeping pants at the thought of you being jealous. “Tell me.” 
“I–I just…” You try to form words, keeping yourself together and not yet falling for his words but then Chan sneakily slides his other down towards your waiting heat, his finger immediately meeting with slickness between your pussy lips. He groans again, grinding into your ass to ease the pain from being so hard. “Baby, if you want to scratch my back that badly just say it.” There’s something hiding behind his words which makes you shut your eyes from the pleasure he’s causing, your hands flying on the counter for support. “I kind of…wanted to..” Your breath hitches, cutting off your sentence when Chan flips your nightgown upwards to expose your wet pussy, your naked ass on display in front of him as he takes his hand away from your breast and caresses one of your cheeks. “You wanted what? Do you need some help darling?” He grunts under his breath when he feels you clench around his fingers, plugging it in and out to take your breath away. You moan out when you feel his fingers curl inside you, hitting that perfect spot that makes your back arch. 
But Chan doesn’t give in that easily. 
You suddenly feel a stinging pain on one of your cheeks, moaning out shamelessly from the sensation he just caused with his hand. When you pick your head up you see Chan already looking at you through the mirror, lust filled eyes raking over your already fucked out face. “Say it baby.” 
You can feel his hand smoothing over the place he just spanked, the air in the bathroom so humid you can feel yourself getting sweaty again. His finger never stopped working inside you, with that spank almost knocking you over the edge. 
When Chan doesn’t see you changing your mind and finally answer him, he only clicks his tongue and tilts his head to the side. Without a second thought, he slaps your ass again, his finger circling around your clit rapidly when he hears your pornographic moans echoing in the bathroom.
“I–I wanted to mark you!” 
And there it is. 
As you practically moan out the words, Chan’s finger is coated thickly with your cum as his words made you tip over the edge. Your whole body shaking in his arms as you come down your high slowly, trying to gather your thoughts and realizing what you just said.
When the words finally leave your mouth he can’t help but smirk, the possessive side of you finally showing for the first time in your relationship. “And why is that honey?” Chan teases you, seeing your ears red from the sudden confession you just made. 
“Just so everyone knows that you’re mine..” You mumble quietly, shame overcoming you as it paints your cheeks deep red. 
Something snaps inside Chan. He can’t help but groan out, his cock painfully hard against his pants as he turns you around and places his hands on your throat, slightly adding pressure on it. Before you know it, you’re pressed up against the wall, his lips already chasing yours. 
“Do it baby.” He kisses you, his tongue sneaks through his lips to taste your lip balm you applied earlier he loves so much. “I want you to do your worst on me,” He whispers between kisses, his hand suddenly picking you up to put your legs around his waist. Your whole body welcomes him, your mouth opens as he slides his tongue inside once again, and your fingers landing into his freshly washed hair as he devours your lips. His hand scrunches up your gown once again before he presses his hardness into your slick core. 
At the contact you moan out loudly, already wanting him inside you, to ease your pain that he caused. 
“Feel that baby? It’s all yours. Nobody else has that but you.” 
With a whine you throw your head on the wall, Chan’s lips continuing to leaves red splotches on your sensitive skin as he takes his hand and pushes down his boxers, hissing out the minute the air hits his precum covered cock, tip red from all the waiting and veins bulging with excitement. 
He drags his wet tip over your puffy lips, spreading them open more to make room for himself when he circles around your clit. As he slides his length between your folds, you feel all emotions gather up inside you, the feeling too hazy as your vision becomes blurry from the need. “Channie,,please..” 
“‘s okay baby,I’ll give it to you.” He chants when he finally pushes his tip inside you, groaning out from you uncontrollably clenching around his cock when he nearly settles halfway in. “You have to relax,angel. You make it impossible for me to–”
“Chan — I’m so sorry, I–” He hears you gasp out, your body all tensed up, your eyes wide open as you look into the mirror across you. He looks swiftly behind him to see your naked bodies melted into one, and then it catches his eye. 
With one thrust he settles fully inside you, moaning from how incredibly tight you are around his length, keeping himself back to not buckle into you rapidly. He puts his hand on your chin, making you look into his eyes and not on his blood covered back. “I asked you to do this, right?” With a softened gaze, he makes sure you understand what he’s saying, not taking his eyes off of you until he sees your lust filled expression again instead of worry ones. “Right baby?”
“Y-yes..” You gulp when you see your fingers slightly covered in red around his neck. “But I didn’t want to-”
“It’s fucking hot.” He hisses, his voice whinier than usual as he puts his forehead on your chest, his hips starting to move. “You did such a great job sweetheart.” He pulls completely out before thrusting into you again, this time harsher as he hears your cries next to his ears. 
When you take another look in the mirror, you see what you just caused. The moment you felt his cock hitting you so deeply you couldn't help but deepen your nails into his skin on his broad back, now covered with blood here and there. It softly dribbles down his defined muscles, and Chan is right. It is fucking hot. 
So you clench around him again when you feel his fingers circling around your clit, his cock hitting the perfect spot as he moans out your name. “Do it again.” He demands, his hand flying on the wall next to your head to thrust up harder into you, making you roll your eyes. As you see Chan so deeply in emotions you scratch his back again, now only deep redness showing on his pale skin. 
The pain on his skin makes him inch closer to his release. The jerks of his hips, slamming against your hips are quickening, becoming more erratic, intense and desperate. You cry out his name nonstop, feeling him twitching inside you. 
“Give it to me.” He’s breathless as he chants into the side of your neck. “I need you to come around my cock baby.” 
His demand tips you over the edge again, moaning out his name as you feel him curl against you, his shoulders on display for you to see what you painted on his back. His grunts are vibrating through your body, the pain melting into pleasure as he paints your insides with his thick cum, feeling so full of him, feeling him everywhere. Chan bites down softly on your skin,kissing the pain away quickly as you both come down from this high. 
You are his. He made sure a long time ago, but now, you made sure he was yours too as you watch the crimson red blood slowly sliding down his back, gathering it on your fingers.
“It took a solo stage for you to claim me as yours?” Chan asks when he softly puts you down on the bathroom counter, a bright smile painting his face once again.

NOPE. NO. LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.
death of the author is not a value judgement and once again what you're describing there is separating art from the artist. not death of the author.
I was actually going to give examples relating to Harry Potter originally but felt it muddied the point to bring up Harry Potter which is where this conflation of 'death of the author' and 'separating art and artist' keeps getting dragged back to.
SEPARATING ART FROM THE ARTIST is 'fuck JK but her work is still something we want to keep'
DEATH OF THE AUTHOR means JKR isn't the sole valid source of interpretations of the books. there is no singular Correct Interpretation, but all interpretations rest on the same fixed content of the text as presented. the examples I was originally going to use were:
JK Rowling claims it was always her intention that wizards shit themselves, Dumbledore is gay and Nagini is an Asian woman magically transformed into a snake. however, that isn't in the text, and if your interpretation of the text doesn't include Dumbledore Is Gay And Nagini Is A Human Lady, Death of the Author says that in no way invalidates your reading - the only thing that matters is the text.
The text contains an Asian character named Cho Chang, a Black character named Kingsley Shacklebolt and an Irish character named Seamus Finnegan who frequently blows things up. It contains hook-nosed goblins who run the world's banking system and are insular and malicious. It contains slaves who love being slaves and explicitly resent people trying to free them or treat them as equals. Almost every character described as fat or gender nonconforming is described in the ways in direct reference to their evilness. These are present in the text, and would be even if JKR had held her tongue forever on her political beliefs and at no point said anything which implied racist, antisemitic, fatphobic or transphobic views.
There are much more indepth analyses of Harry Potter and politics than I'm willing to get into but death of the author is not a value judgement. There are ways that looking at a piece without reference to author intent does remove some elements that make the work look bad (for example. if we read werewolfism as it appears in the text imo it's relatively neutral. if we read it in the lens of JKR saying it's a metaphor for AIDS it reads very differently.)
But removing the attempt to understand the author's intent still leaves us with the text. For example, JKR states and appears to believe that Harry Potter is explicitly and primarily a story about an underdog coming up from abuse and neglect to tackle the threat of a eugenicist and classist evil.
A fully author-centred reading would have to concur that, whether or not it does it successfully, that's what the story Is About. It's about how all of us have the capacity to conquer evil through the power of friendship. It might also grapple with what that means in light of what JKR considers evil, whether it was conveyed effectively, what she was thinking when she went 'and the Bad Goblins run the world's banks and the Good Slaves love to serve their racially superior masters' and so on but ultimately an author-centeed interpretation has to come down on 'if it doesn't align with what JKR thinks either consciously or unconsciously, it is a mistake.'
A fully text centred reading might concur that that's what the story Is Mostly About, but might also not - it might draw attention to the fact that Harry is born into a powerful, respectful and wealthy line which is consistently understood as a major part of the source of his power, and that he's abused because people are jealous of him; it might mention the ways that the above-mentioned acceptance of the existence of happy slaves, evil hook-nosed banking goblins, a racial hierarchy etc sit in conflict with the idea of conquering racism; it might raise the ways that victory over evil is framed as return to a flawed status quo where structures of power are not challenged, only moved into better hands; it might question the assumptions the text makes about gender and class, and so on.
Neither is the right or wrong way to look at a text, but both are critical lenses to look through (and imo they should be used together, because knowing the author's priorities helps direct what's interesting to look at in the text - if JKR hadn't come out as a transphobe I probably wouldn't have thought to examine some stuff, like the ways sex-segregated spaces are an unquestioned part of the universe or the ways mannishness in women is associated with overbearing evil, through a queer lens).
Death of the author is neither a condemnation or an absolution of either text or author. it's literally just saying 'analyse the text based on what's in the text,' and that analysis should almost always throw up both positives and negatives. Death of the author doesn't absolve us as readers from looking at what beliefs about the world are evidenced in the text, it's just that the focus is 'What does Harry Potter mean?' not 'What does JKR mean by Harry Potter?'
so like. you can for sure separate JKR from Harry Potter.* that's separating the art from the artist. you can say 'I will not do anything to support this author but I think the text is still worth engaging with.' do that.
but. doing that isn't instead of critical analysis of the text. whether you use a text focused death of the author lens or a more authorial-intent focus, separating artist from art doesn't protect art from criticism in any way. you can haaaaaate the author of a work and still interpret it with the view that the singular correct and valid meaning of it is the meaning the author consciously or subconsciously put in it. You can love the author and want wholeheartedly to support them and still find a lot to criticise in what you find in the text, even if you know that it doesn't reflect the author's beliefs.
Death of the author is a critical lens related to the text itself. Separating art from artist is a moral framework for engaging with art from creators whose views or behaviour we find abhorrent. They are not the same thing.
male gaze is not 'when person look sexy' or 'when misogynist make film'
death of the author is not 'miku wrote this'
I don't think you have to read either essay to grasp the basic concepts
death of the author means that once a work is complete, what the author believes it to mean is irrelevant to critical analysis of what's in the text. it means when analysing the meaning of a text you prioritise reader interpretation above author intention, and that an interpretation can hold valid meaning even if it's utterly unintentional on the part of the person who created the thing. it doesn't mean 'i can ignore that the person who made this is a bigot' - it may in fact often mean 'this piece of art holds a lot of bigoted meanings that the author probably wasn't intentionally trying to convey but did anyway, and it's worth addressing that on its own terms regardless of whether the author recognises it's there.' it's important to understand because most artists are not consciously and vocally aware of all the possible meanings of their art, and because art is communal and interpretive. and because what somebody thinks they mean, what you think somebody means, and what a text is saying to you are three entirely different things and it's important to be able to tell the difference.
male gaze is a cinematographic theory on how films construct subjectivity (ie who you identify with and who you look at). it argues that film language assumes that the watcher is a (cis straight white hegemonically normative) man, and treats men as relatable subjects and women as unknowable objects - men as people with interior lives and women as things to be looked at or interacted with but not related to. this includes sexual objectification and voyeurism, but it doesn't mean 'finding a lady sexy' or 'looking with a sexual lens', it means the ways in which visual languages strip women of interiority and encourage us to understand only men as relatable people. it's important to understand this because not all related gaze theories are sexual in nature and if you can't get a grip on male gaze beyond 'sexual imagery', you're really going to struggle with concepts of white or abled or cis subjectivities.

A selection of promotional art for Violet Core, a forthcoming self-described "Romantic High Speed Sapphic Mecha TTRPG" by artist and writer @sarahcarapace, author of Death Spiral and visual designer for @cavegirlpoems' Dungeon Bitches. Violet Core takes its cues from Heaven Will Be Mine, Zone of the Enders and Knights of Sidonia, and plays like a tabletop dating sim with giant robot fights.
The game is currently entering the final 24 hours of its crowdfunding campaign, fully funded and having knocked down two substantial stretch goals in the last days: one for extra art (i.e., more of the above), and one to add an asymmetric play mode in which some but not all players pilot giant robots, explicitly including provisions for, in the author's own words, "handler and pilot toxic yuri" – a particular interest for many of this blog's followers, I'm given to understand!
With just under a day left to go, there are several additional stretch goals within striking distance; I've seen a lot of noise about the one for rules for combining robots (presumably also for yuri purposes), though the one I'm most keen on – a big stack of random encounter and event tables by the aforementioned @cavegirlpoems – is presently just $1700 AUD away. (Yes, I know I'm predictable; my love for Big Stupid Tables is well established.)
I'd love to see this one go the distance, so whether or not you're interested in supporting its campaign, if you happen to know anyone who might be in the market, please pass the word along!
