Good Femslash Fics Already Exist

With the whole push for more femslash in fandoms, I’ve never understood the amount of hate I see femslash “fans” direct towards existing creations. There’s nothing wrong with wanting more variety, I do too, but every time someone brings up the fact that femslash fan fictions are already being written someone opens their mouth to say “yeah but those suck.” And then they proceed to read 300+ atrociously mischaracterized mlm fics. They complain abt plotless fluff and then read the exact same pwp scenarios over and over again

And hey, if you don’t want to read femslash that’s totally fine. You don’t have to pretend it interests you. I’m someone who actively looks for femslash and my only problem has been a lack of content in smaller/male-dominated fandoms, the fics themselves are cute af. Ya’ll are missing out on some real masterpieces by labeling all existing femslash fics as “boring,” some of my favorite fics ever are femslash. If an mlm ship invades the tags just filter it out, filter out every mlm pairing in the fandom if you have to. AO3 gives us that option for a reason

I’m not saying we don’t need more variety, but we’re not going to get that by shitting on writers who actively put in the work to make more femslash. When I started writing femslash consistently it was very discouraging because I’d seen soooooo many people online saying they want more femslash fics, yet nobody was reading mine. Then I looked at the stats on other femslash fics and they were the same, really great fics were barely getting any hits or kudos. It kinda sucks knowing that an mlm fic I wrote in 3 hours got more kudos than a wlw fic I spent months on (for pairings of relatively equal popularity). This seems to be the biggest roadblock for people wanting to write femslash, no one supports it. Even tho fandoms claim they would support it, they never do. It’s something I’ve learned to stop caring about but not every writer is gonna push through

This brings me back to a comment I saw about “boring, hair-braidy wlw fics.” That description really stood out to me, and to this day it makes me feel a little self-conscious about my old femslash fics that were “boring” and “hair-braidy.” But then I came across a fic for this one pairing that had actual hair-braiding. It was incredibly well-written and meaningful, exploring how both characters struggled to ask for help but they were able to recognize each other’s dilemmas and help in subtle ways. They did this, of course, by fixing each other’s hair when they both felt helpless to do anything with it. Such a simple way to express a very deep bond. This made me reassess the way people talk about femslash fics, and the way I’d been thinking of them myself. Is fluff really that much of a crime?? Do all cottagecore-type fics really have no substance?? Do femslash fics have to copy exactly what slash fics are doing, or are they allowed to have their own tropes??

My attitude towards the overload of plotless fluff wlw fics is “this is a good starting point.” We need more people writing femslash, more variety in what is written, but that doesn’t mean what we have is bad. I critique wlw fic tropes a lot but I always give the disclaimer that I actually love the fics themselves, I just want to see more of a different thing. And I comment on every femslash fic I read (every fic I read in general but especially femslash), I try to leave something thoughtful to let the writer know I appreciate the effort they put into their work. You’d be surprised how many writers said they were encouraged to update a fic or write more femslash because of a positive comment I left them. Engaging with fics will give you more of a good thing. It has so much more influence than that video you’re about to make talking about how there’s no good femslash fics. When you say things like that it actually discourages people from writing, and makes them feel bad about things they’ve already written. Support femslash writers guys, it’s sexy

wedding bellsss hehe

[pokemonxhyperfixation]

Random Touhou headcanon 5: as kinda alluded to earlier, Meiling and Sakuya are married. Have been since the incident of 7.5 (but before the gameplay). The funny, is that Remilia didn’t know they were married until like… three months ago. And the only reason she found out was because she offhandedly asked Sakuya about the ring she’s been constantly wearing the last almost 20 years. They never told Remilia because it just never really occurred to them to. Literally everyone else Meiling and Sakuya know already knew, just Remilia never noticed.

Ship Names.

I was looking on Shipping Wiki for fun and saw TsuKouMitsu so I looked through it and,

Your telling me people call them the ‘Trauma Squad’ 😭, and ‘Side Quest’. Omg.

I thought there were a million squad names called ‘Trauma Squad’?!

I love it tho.

Side Quest is so funny.

HEARTBREAKERS?!?!?

WTF, I DIDN’T KNOW THEY HAD A NAME!

This goes back to that post I reposted about Mitsuba’s skeleton thingies being something that protects the heart, and Tsukasa being associated with hearts!

This is just such a cool name tho..

Heartbreakers.

I’ll continue to call them the Magenta Duo, but I wonder who came up with Heartbreakers?

Shout out to them.

Just for fun, Tsunene.. Let’s see.

Maybe, ‘MoonFish’, omg.

They don’t have any known ship name on SWK ( Shipping Wiki ), but their trope is labeled ‘Hair Contrast Trope’, I like it.

‘Heart For Heart’, since they’re both interested in romance. ‘Cupids’, ‘The Romances’?

Sakunene? ‘The Assistants’.. Idk 💀 Just Cottagecore and Dark Academia kind of gfs. Also Aoinene.

‘Gardening Duo’.

‘Yaoi’… THAT IS SO CREATIVE!

Meinene is Cottagecore. ‘Sea-Sketch’, ?

Aoimei is ‘Picture Perfect’ on SWK, and I think that would be a good name with Meinene, even Sakumei.

Kounene, ‘Ghost Busters’.

‘Daikon Bakers’…

A lot of tropes.

Hanakou,

Lemon Donut is perfect.

Terukane, I know Teruaoikane is ‘The Sunflower Trio’, for some reason? I never figured out why.

Terukane would be like, ‘Betrayal’, idk. That’s probs the trope right.

I saw Aoikane was ‘Garden Of Time’, and that is so genius, even if I don’t ship it that much. I love the name.

Someone should make a fanfic with that name.

SakuMitsu, I def ship it platonically, and they are the ‘Watermelon Duo’, I love it.

Platonic TsuNatsu? Brothers ever, ‘Brothers From Different Mothers’, whole different fams but whatever.

Another brother duo, NatsuMitsu. Labeled ‘The Cat Duo’ on SWK. NatsuTsuMitsu, NatsuTsuMitsuSaku. Just one big fam. I like how they’re seen as a fam more than HanaNeneKou, which is sometimes seen as a poly ship. I ship HanaNeneKou platonically and romantically, but it’s hard to see NatsuSakuTsuMitsu being romantic all together?

‘The Four U’s’, they all have U’s in their names. Saku, Tsu, the rest. Broadcast Group on top.

Forgot Mitsunene, ‘Cupcake Duo’ on SWK. ‘Sakura Mochi’, since it’s pink and green, and their latest manga chapter cover was pink and green?

I think that’s it?

Since there’s already a daily Aoinene account my main account is already Aoinene-centric, I’d like to spread some love to other TBHK femslash ships!! And for those of you who don’t know, MeiAoi and NeneMei are both with No.4 Mei, whereas Meinene and Aoimei are with OG Mei :)
