#posts that have a target audience of ''me''

[beetles-and-rock]

Have to add my frustrations with the overly sensitive in a slightly different way.

It's more than just purity culture, and people clutching their pearls at the slightest bit of ankle. Don't get me wrong though, that annoys the hell out of me too.

But here's a little something for more than just AO3

IF

-Its a trigger for you

-You don't like the subject

-Its not your thing

DO NOT INTERACT

It is so simple just to ignore something you don't like an move on, it takes less than a second to scroll past.

Setting healthy boundaries in relationships for things that are and are not okay, that you are or are not comfortable with is fine. It's good. You SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DO THAT!

Confronting a total stranger online for posting/publishing/having a conversation that you are not even a part of, whether its an art, a fic, passing HCs back and forth that involve something you don't want to see, and and confronting them as if it was apersonal slight against you, is not

Telling people you don't know what they can and can't write, post, draw is not.

Even if you do know the person, they most likely weren't even thinking about you when they created it. They were just making their own fun. Creating things, sharing ideas, participating in fandom. They are allowed to have a life outside of you.

When it comes to people sharing their works, online, they DO NOT and SHOULD NOT have to stop writing, drawing, whatever they are doing just because it has a subject in it that upsets you. If it triggers you THEN YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE.

Other people may have interest in the things you don't. Other people are comfortable seeing and reading things you aren't.

AO3 has trigger warnings FOR A REASON.

Outside of that, if you see people online, or in public having a conversation that YOU AREN'T EVEN PART OF, and you butt in telling them they can't talk about that cause it makes you uncomfortable, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG. There is a difference between asking someone not to talk about the subject as loud, and guilt tripping the hell out of them because it triggers you an makes you feel uncomfortable.

It is not their fault you decided to eavesdrop and stick around allowing it to bother you. You could have walked away. You could have looked at a chat elsewhere or something else entirely.

I know it's a cliché, but seriously, for those that do this, THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.

People should not have to run everything they say, do, create, take part in by you to make sure you're okay with it first.

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

I may not be your target audience (straight girl) but I love your blog cause I can take inspiration from your posts, since I've recently been experimenting with my boyfriend and therefore been exploring my dominant side. He likes your blog a lot so you've become a little bit of a role model for me 🤭

so wholesome, my heart TT

I'm glad Im giving you some ideas <3

Hope you two have a lot of fun together!

Shameless Self Promo Saturday

thank you @pixiedurango @skullypettibone and @corvus-frugilegus for tagging me <3

The idea: We make a post and show off, what cool stuff we created over the past week. Art, Screenshots, writing (anything from a questionnaire about your OC to the 100K epos...) anything we do is worth to be seen and to be promoted. And by tagging people, commenting, and reblogging, we share the love and boost ourselves, and other's confidence. No matter what form you choose, whether you reblog your initial post, or create a new one with teasers, you decide!

"What did I even do this week?" I asked myself looking through my OG post tag and Woah I Kinda Did A Lot.

First of all, there is the shining light of my life, my Grey Warden Bellara fic Bellara's Diary: On Darkspawn Corruption. I actually finished this fic over a month ago, and I was sooo excited to share it for Bellara week, you have no idea. This is currently the #1 favourite work of mine, everything else will have to move aside, at least for now <3

I also published Athim, a short oneshot about Bellara talking to the Archive before saying her goodbyes. That was a personally important piece since I (as an individual) consider keeping the archive the right choice TM, so I was curious how well I could execute the opposite scenario. And I'm rather proud of how it came out :')

Then, I posted a WIP from my piece about Viago & Ghilasara, Second Opinion. And the fic itself is coming out tomorrow! Maybe it has a target audience of like 5 people, but I'm still so very excited to share it <3

Besides that, I also made some DAVG-themed tumblr dividers. I actually saw someone I don't know personally use one of those dividers in their post and almost teared up.... Can't believe people like them enough to put them on their blogs...

Ahem. Someone (💙💙) inspired me to finally give a try to adding feathers to Ghilasara's custom armour. It's very much a WIP and I'm thinking of redoing that from scratch, but I did post a bit about my latest attempt along with a small silly headcanon here ^_^

And last, but not least, there was this ask about Spite's role in the Lucanisara divorce that ended up as a pretty long write-up. It's probably in the top-2 favourite asks I got on this blog (the other one was about whether Ghilasara would ever hook up with Illario).

throwing tags to @thewardenisonthecase and @mythals-whore <3

I just need to say that I think it is extremely weird for someone to do a whole ass essay defending a ship that the op very clearly doesn't like just because something doesn't fit your very VERY fanonized view of a relationship. Like this is genuinely uncomfortable to read I don't know why you felt the need to share this with me, when you are very clearly not the target audience. I know this has been months ago but Jesus Christ dude have some decency, I didn't read it at the time because I was so fed up with how everyone kept treating the concept of Mic respecting herself by not being friends with Taco after leaving his ass. Talk about this in your blog I don't care about whatever argument you have to defend them you straight up don't understand why them making up was Bad.

The fact that you go on this whole rant about Mic considering Taco a friend and truly caring about her on a post that straight up talks about that was not the case + how it is unhealthy for them to still be friends when taco doesn't even want to change canon-wise pisses me off to no end. I don't CARE if you think they were THIS POST WASN'T FOR YOU. Mic straight up never had a close relationship with Taco. Any sort of care she had for Taco was because Mic is extremely selfless. She always prioritizes other first and hey! Unlike Taco, Mic wouldn't reveal somebody's secrets, even if they had hurted her badly! Which was what TACO was trying to do on II 15 by trying to reveal Microphone's secret through Knife. The movie was extremely disrespectful to Mic and Pickle as a whole due to this.

I feel the need to clarify this even if the guy who said all of this blocked me but dudeee. There was straight up no need to add this to a post that was not meant for you. I don't care if you like them that's fine but people have to be normal over others not liking your ship because this is just uncomfortable to have as an addition.

I'm sorry if this sounds aggressive but genuinely if a post or content isn't for you. You don't have to tell the poster "actually" if they didn't ask for it. PLEASE just block and move on

see you never, alligator.

comic about taco leaving ii for good (and respecting mic's and pickle's wishes via leaving their lifes) and actually moving on, and knife helps her realize that she needs to do that.

Well now I want to see Percy duel Domon for the title.

It would be a very one-sided fight because we've seen Domon catch as many bullets as he could put out in a round, but it would look very cool.

Vex can fight Rain and avenge her husband :P

i feel a bit bad for not posting so um.......... here. stuff i actually finished and didn't abandon.

[airborneice]

soo throwing out my pmd au designs for the trio, and also their levels and movesets bc I put way too much thought into this already and I’m gonna yap about all of it under the cut :>

so for why I chose the pokemon I did…David and Hilda’s pokemon were really quick to figure out for me - teddiursa is already orange and literally the son boy pokemon so it was a perfect match imo, and shinx picks up 3/4 of Hilda’s colour palette without even trying. plus the electric type has a reputation for being a bit feisty and impulsive so that fits Hilda p well I think

Frida gave me way more trouble finding a suitable match but I think I’m finally happy w making her an espeon. I think her being a psychic type is a good analogue for magic so it ticks that box, and espeon picks up the purple in frida’s s3 design (her white patches are also meant to relate to her s3 look :> ). alsoo it’s not super obvious here but her inner ears and gem are blue so she can still match both hilda and david’s colour palettes like god intended 😌 OH and also a bit of Frida’s clothing/decor in the show is cat-themed, so I figured if she likes cats so much she can be one. as a treat 😌

so in this AU Hilda takes the place of the player character, so she’s the one randomly waking up in the pokemon world with amnesia and the vague recollection of being human before whereas David and Frida are just regular pokemon (something something parallel to Hilda moving to the city and having no idea how anything works vs David and Frida already having it figured out etc)

at the start, Frida is already evolved and a bit higher level than the others. I was thinking of that drive to overachieve & live up to expectations that she has at the start of the show, and how in a pokemon au evolving a little early would probably be a point of pride for her (and her parents). david and hilda on the other hand don’t have much expertise battling yet (Hilda is literally fresh into being a pokemon so doesn’t have battles figured out and David is actively scared of them) so they’re low-level and their movesets are basic, though I tried to tailor them to their personalities a little bit. I wanted to make Frida’s moveset more tactical and thought-out since she’s the one planning and strategising to keep the team on track. (a moment of silence for her hanging on to Baton Pass when she’s in a team with two pokemon who are too scared/inexperienced in battle to be any help at all…) plus she has the odd TM bc I figure if her parents had such high hopes for her, they’d try to make sure she had a good start and got the best moves money could buy. at the point where Hilda comes in, Frida and David both want to become explorers but for their own reasons can’t quite work up the nerve to make it happen yet..we’ll get to that in the next post :>

DEAD BOY DETECTIVES - 1.07 “The Case of the Very Long Stairway” // THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES - MAG 159 “The Last”

[demigod-shenanigans]

Okay but. Hear me out. Platonic m/f soulmates specifically in a heteronormative society.

Soulmates are understood to primarily be a romantic thing by society, because they’re meant to be the most important person in your life, and a lot of the time that person is your partner, but not always.

Reyna who grows up with Jason’s name on her wrist. Who gets through her shitty childhood partially through thinking one day she’ll meet her soulmate and he will love her and things will get better

And then she does meet him and he does love her, but it’s not how she expected it to be. He loves her, but it doesn’t seem to be in the same way she loves him.

And then even the goddess of love tells her she’ll never find love with her soulmate, and Reyna can’t help but wonder if she’s fundamentally broken in some way.

Jason who grows up just wanting to be loved, no matter in what way. Who has Reyna’s name on his wrist and is delighted when he meets her and knows they were meant to be friends. But he’s not sure he loves her in the way he’s supposed to. And he’s overjoyed that he has her, but sometimes he feels sad, because maybe that means there’s something wrong with him.

Leo and Piper who grow up with each other’s names on their wrists. Who find out during the meteor shower and kiss exactly once only for them both to immediately realize this feels off, but if that means they’re broken somehow, at least they can be broken together.

But then something shifts. Hera mixes up their memories and they no longer remember. Leo is stuck thinking his soulmate has a boyfriend, and maybe he’s one of the unlucky few people who is soulmates with someone that has a different soulmate. But then he looks at Jason and Piper together. And sure, he jealous, but it’s not Piper he wants to kiss, and he’s so confused. She’s the one who’s meant to be his soulmate. So then why does he think about what it would be like to brush his fingers through Jason’s hair?

Piper who doesn’t properly remember wilderness school but does realize her love for Leo isn’t what it’s supposed to be. She loves him so much, but she’s not in love with him like she should be. But surely Hera and her mom put her with Jason for a reason. Maybe there was a mistake with her tattoo. Maybe she was supposed to have Jason’s name written on her wrist. Maybe she’s not broken.

Except Jason’s tattoo says Reyna. And it’s clear that he misses whoever Reyna is. He says he doesn’t think he liked her like that, but she’s his soulmate, so surely he does. The name is burnt into Piper’s mind before they ever meet.

And when they do, she wants to hate Reyna. Wants to hate her for what it will mean for her relationship with Jason that Reyna exists. Wants to hate her for being proof that there is something fundamentally wrong with Piper.

But Reyna is beautiful and strong and a natural leader. Jason is lucky to have a soulmate that awesome. (And sometimes Piper kind of wishes Reyna was her soulmate instead of Jason’s.)

Reyna who wants to hate Piper because she’s the girlfriend of the guy who was supposed to be her soulmate. Who might be the reason Aphrodite looked at her and said she wouldn’t find love where she wanted or expected. But Piper is gorgeous and brave and stubborn, and Reyna doesn’t hate her. Sometimes she thinks it might be the opposite. Sometimes she wonders if that’s what her prophecy meant.

Jason who is loved in so many different ways after a lifetime’s worth of feeling unloved. Who is so confused how romantic love is supposed to feel in comparison to platonic love. Who loved Reyna and Piper but never like he was supposed to.

Who holds Leo in his arms and wonders if that’s what home feels like.

It’s Leo who figures it out eventually. He’s venting to Hazel about the whole situation after the incident with Nemesis and Hazel looks at him dumbfounded because “what gave you the idea soulmates had to be romantic??”

“Please tell me one example where it isn’t. You can’t.”

And Hazel just stares at him, then slowly rolls up her sleeve to show Leo the name on her wrist is literally her brother’s (which makes a lot of sense because obviously without Nico she wouldn’t even be alive right now. He changed her life in a way no one else could have)

And. Yeah. That one is kind of hard to argue with

And there’s nothing wrong with the way any of them love each other. They’re not what society expects soulmates to look like. But they’re all so very loved, and being loved platonically isn’t less valuable than being loved romantically just because it’s different. It’s not what they expected looking at the names on their wrists for the first time. But it’s still love, and maybe that’s the only thing that matters.

Heya Anon! (I speedran this doodle because I got emotionnal)

I see the vision, I used to be insane about the possiblity of a Teru and Nene's friendship, they would be so so funny together :DD

I also like the idea of Teru needing a friend who is more.. chill ? Nene judges him a lot for random stuff in canon but it's really not the same as Akane or Aoi who are just 'this guy is truly insane ._.' (and good for them tbh love them a lot) And she still goes sparkly eyes for him sometimes even when he says the most insane things and I like that sm

(in french he says: "And well, I am the embodiment/personification of beauty" I find it wonderful either way)

And Nene having someone who could teach her stuff about the supernatural world while judging her hard af for how she acts around them sometimes would be a really funny dynamic too. None of them would have chill with the other but I think this is why it could be so good. And Teru would be overjoyed to teach her stuff (in the hope she would destroy Hanako, this is the true motivation)

They truly would be a no braincells duo

(an old doodle I still love a lot this guy is a disaster at handling people showing emotions in front of him)

And they do care for each other in canon , their teamup for the new timeline was really cute :DD

(I am just sad we didn't have much but lol I won't talk about the disappointement that this arc is for me :'))

I agree that they would watch random stuff together especially because Teru doesn't have much knowledges in that and Nene may have... too much. I truly think they could be great friends (and Nene has the patience of a saint have you seen her with Mitsuba or even Hanako? ToT She would be able to handle Teru)

I used to be obsessed with the Survivor quartet as I call them (Akane, Nene, Teru and Kou) and I have a tag for them #survivorquartet with random doodles/hcs if you need more stuff :DD (most are really old so some of my opinion has changed izvkdvd)

Little comic I did of them that I still love a lot, help this poor girl she needs it

And don't be ashamed to post if you want to, I am sure you're not the only one liking this friendship :DD Especially since you're talking about a fic! This means others people like it too! (and even if that wasn't the case, be free Anon this is honestly how you can have the most fun in a fandom, my main metaphor is the sandbox in a corner doing whatever and sometimes some people go to talk with you, this is the funniest part of being in a fandom for me :))

And if you're bothered about the ship you can just say in the tags that it's platonic. That's something I did once and most people respected to not tag it with the ship name ^^ Fandom and posting are supposed to be fun so you shouldn't feel pressured by it but I understand if you're scared/don't know if you wanna post, take your time :))) I believe in youuuu

I hope you have a great day Anon and thanks for the ask it made me happy to retalk about them :DD
