Sorry if it might seem silly thing to ask but I’ve been wondering about something… in ABO world, what is sexuality? I mean is it based on someone’s gender or subgender? Or is it mixed?

Hellooo!

It's not silly. That's a very thought-provoking question.

Based on what I read (cough) in these years, it really depends on some factors:

1. If the author established the secondary genders like real-world sexuality and gender (cis and heterosexuality a majority and lgbtqia+ a minority and thus, an Omega x Omega or Alpha x Alpha pairings in that world a rarity.)

2. If the author established characteristics of secondary genders like real-world hierarchy (Omegas are supposed to be calm, when stressed needs a family member or lover to be at ease, good at stereotypical womenly things regardless of gender and on the other hand, Alphas who are leaders, aggressive, sometimes territorial, strong and good at stereotypical macho things regardless of gender and then we have Beta whjch are everyday people [I call them the working class])

3. If the author established some rules like normally, the Omegas in, let's say, 60%? Of fics are lower class or regarded distastefully while Alphas are sought and regarded highly (basically how some real world families try to have a son instead of a daughter to continue the correct?????? Bloodline???! 🙂) BUT the author be like "no no no, in this world, Omegas are the ones that are highly regarded while Alphas are looked at distastefully. So the author establishes the rules for those who normally read A/B/O and think it's the same as the other 60% of fics. (Like how in pit babe we have Alphas with superpowers)

But to answer your question regarding subgender, actual gender and sexuality..... nope! None of these matters. They aren't connected. Just because a man is an omega doesn't mean they are attracted to same-sex or alpha or have stereotypical characteristics of women. The author can build the A/B/O However they want and establish some rules that they like, but in general, none of these three matter.

#pit babe the series theories #a/b/o verse #a/b/o lifestyle #finally a very fun and thoughtful provoking question!#again #the people of pit babe the series fandom #block me if you hate that I'm in the recent posts of the tag #I know that I would have done the same.

My Favorite BL Dramas of 2023

happy new year to everyone who uses the gregorian calendar. we had so much good content come out this year. i'm gonna list my favs. please remember these are my personal faves and may be objectively terrible. do not be alarmed.

My Beautiful Man S2 and Movie

If you ask me this series is one of the best bls of all time. idc idc. im a hira and kiyoi girlie through and through. how many bl's do you know with 2 seasons and an original movie. not those repackaged ones that they try to hand feed us. an actual movie with a plot???? the bar is on the floor clearly. but hira and kiyoi are gonna surpass that bar every. single. time.

Love Tractor

I didn't hear enough people screaming about Love Tractor. crickets tbh. Which is blasphemous in my opinion. How could you be quiet when this lovely bumbling himbo with the dopiest grin is on your screen? look at him!!

Eighth Sense

10's across the board. No question. No notes.

this scene^ BROKE me

Our Dining Table

Ok hear me out. I didn't think this was the best bl in the world BUT it was so wholesome that it deserves a spot. top tier comfort show. It got me through many bad days. Admittedly, there were a few times I purposely put it on bc i knew it would put me to sleep. please don't jump me.

Unintentional Love Story

Now...I'm not a huge kbl person. However, this was really nice. Had a solid plot. I don't remember much abt it but I know there was pottery and I had a good time

Only Friends

This was culture. This was a movement. I will never forgive them for how they treated Boston. Even still, I was there every week ready for the chaos. I had the time of my life.

Bed Friend

It's hard to believe this came out this year. Like ??? But really that shows how much I've established this show as a classic in my mind. BED FRIEND? UEA? baddest bitch in the land?? KING? greenest flag out there???? (debatable but for the sake of my argument lets pretend). It had every element. good plot, great visuals, a little heat. like come on who else is doing it like them?

i just know if me and uea were ever in the same room he would judge me so much

Dangerous Romance

I've seen mixed reviews on this one but I had a fun time. Kanghan is a prissy little spoiled brat, but he's my prissy little spoiled brat. I loved their story progression. Which is saying a lot for me bc I don't like enemies to lovers. like why are we fighting? also "i'm an introvert" is the funniest shit i've heard all year.

La Pluie

this was so shockingly good i wish it got more attention. iqiyi in general really did their big one this year. when it rains you can only hear your soulmate? love!

Laws of Attraction

this was a rollercoaster. i started watching ironically because i thought it would be terrible when i saw the mc go super saiyan. that shit is still hilarious idc.

Love Syndrome III

Now before we start throwing tomatoes...let's hear me out. Nothing has caught my attention this year the way this series did. This was another series I was watching ironically until suddenly i wasn't. It's also just so funny that they released the third one without dropping a first or second. but bad bitches don't need to explain themselves. and YES love syndrome is a bad bitch. let's stop acting like we watch bl's solely for the quality. i don't need marvel cgi to have a good time. sometimes a dollar store wig and the most toxic couple you've ever seen is enough to make some shit shake. if this was released during the tharntype era??? oh bitches would've ate it up. HAPPILY. rant over.

Last Twilight

it's good man. what more can i say? i hope it doesn't disappoint me in the end.

Pit Babe

i'm very pleased. very much so. i know alot of folks went into this show expecting a little teehee. to laugh at the omegaverse racecar show. NOT ME. i've waited for this moment. and anyone who's seen me screaming in the tag can attest. this is a game changer. not just for bl but the fandom community at large. and don't even get me started on their chemistry. babe's smile whenever he's around charlie?? mama and papa?? MAMA AND FUCKING PAPA?? we deserve this and i will bask in it for as long as I can. jeff had better be pregnant by the end of the show.

^ that’s his charlie smile 🥲

The last 2 weeks have provided me with amazing experiences from the BL series fan community. Moments when several series with very active fandoms are aired at the same time are very rare, and with the end of 2 series this week, I'm already mourning this wonderful, one-of-a-kind experience.

I have been camping in the following tags for many days and each one is different and unique: Love For Love's Sake I can't put into words what this show and fandom has given me. The number of absolutely insane analyses, meta, touching declarations of love to this series from moved viewers, and beautiful gifs is staggering. The series is excellent, the audience's reaction is also wonderful, it was such a great experience. Which doesn't surprise me, because it was people's reaction to real ART, which is always something special. The series itself is 10/10 for me in every category: love story, plot, actors, emotions, my investment in the story, quality, execution, even the "heat", because even though there were no love scenes, the guys were able to convey that they are very into each other 🥰

Dead Friend Forever I also enjoy the fandom experience immensely, the tag is full of great analysis and meta. The plot is so interesting and full of surprising twists and turns that there is always something new to discuss and come up with wild theories. The series is still ongoing, but for this moment it's also perfect for me and 10/10: love story (hehe), plot, actors, emotions, my investment in the story, quality, execution, also the "heat" (hehe).

Pit Babe I rate the fandom experience as *chef's kiss*. Tag is also full of interesting analyzes and meta, amazing gifs of Way. The fandom is generally very cheerful and unhinged, which is GREAT ✨ But what's most interesting is that if someone who didn't know Pit Babe checked the tag now, they would never guess who the main character and main couple of the series are (and this doesn't only apply to tumblr!). I find this incredibly funny 🤡 I'm not that interested in the series itself, so I won't rate it. I treat it as pure fun and entertainment, so I have zero expectations for the finale, especially since, of course, I've already stumbled upon possible spoilers. Personally, what I will take away from the entire series is my deepened love for Nut and a fascination with Way, whom I want like little girls want a new Barbie doll.

Last Twilight Another wild fandom experience lol I practically didn't visit the tag of this series at all, but I spent the last two episodes there in full camping mode, in a tent and cooking coffee after coffee over the fire 😄 Fans have once again soared to the heights of perfection, writing amazing analyzes and meta responses to the crap of the last episodes. The criticism was precise, justified, systematized, methodical and accurate 👩‍🎓 As with LFLS, it was an intellectual experience. The fans provided better entertainment than the series itself lol

The Sign hmm, for several weeks the tag has been dominated by BillyBabe, which is not strange because only this couple is responsible for BL aspect in this BL series 😄 I rate my fandom experience with The Sign in two categories: "until episode 7" full of amazing meta, analysis, beautiful gifs and enrichment for me as a fan, overall 10/10 and "after episode 7" which I spent mainly on… liking BillyBabe's photos and videos . Which is ok, because, well, I do like them a lot 😉

Two of the above series have already ended, although fans are still present, two more are ending this week. That's why I would like to take this opportunity and say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to all the fans, those who wrote emotional entries, deep and thoughtful meta, funny posts, created beautiful gifs, analyzed endlessly the smallest details and posted photos and videos of their favorite actors. You all made these last few days so interesting and fun. I hope there will be more days like this in 2024! 🥰

And now I'll only have DFF…

#love for love's sake #dead friend forever #pit babe the series #last twlight the series #the sign the series #thai bl #korean bl #bl drama

OK, here we go: my thoughts pit babe final episode

(cussing, lots of cussing)

OK, where do I start?

First of all, I really loved that the Charliebabe reunion went like in the novel. No fighting, just relief the he is alright.

I was already jelling internally, when kenta handed that USB to Alan, but then he fucking stabbed Tony and I was screaming.

HE DID EXACTLY WHAT WE ALL WANTED HIM TO DO.

(On a side note, he's probably in prison for that now. For helping Tony for so long and literal murder. Sorry to all the people who want to see him all happy

I'm one of the people, by the way.)

He grew so much in the last few episodes and I just wanna give him a hug.

fuck yeah. Kim my baby. He did exactly what we wanted him to do.

Kick that asshole winner's ass.

(Also, absolutely love that he ended up on the x-hunter team. I love him)

Love the reunion between babe and his dad. In the novel babe is like: why do I always get played by the people I love and have to forgive them. But then he does and I like that it's obvious he loves his dad, but he also needs some time.

Loved this scene, since I saw it in the intro, but it was just so perfect.

The love confession.......💕

On the other hand, I've read the novel before the series ended and knew that way was going to die, so i dont know why I was surprised when he did die in the series. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not mourning him.) Maybe I thought he wouldn't die, because of his popularity in the Fandom.

Also, where the fuck are the rest of my ships?????

Way died before he and Pete could kiss (Pete's gonna be singel for the rest of his life now, or what?), north and sonic are just obvious idiots and kentakim.....

(the first thing I jelled when it was over was: where the duck is my kentakim?)

Maybe we will get some special episodes. (Please)

For now I just need to figure out how to live on and what to do on Fridays now

And I need so much fanfic now, please give me fanfic to read, so I can forget the series is over.

10/10 would rewatch

#pit babe the series #pit babe series #pit babe kenta #pit babe alan #pit babe charlie #pitbabe #charliebabe #pit babe jeff #jeffalan #northsonic #kentakim #kim pit babe #pit babe pete #peteway #thai bl

@morbidlizard replied to your post “Can I ask, why do you love BL romance better than...”:

I mean it's unfortunate but asian BL is just hands down better than western for so many reasons <: / I've been reading asian BL for literal decades now (AHHH) and I can maybe count on one hand the western series I've enjoyed that had some sort of queer romance that had all I wanted or at least a part of the tropes I like...And even then, it's usually F/F relationships 9_9 (and when I say asian, I mean japanese, korean, chinese, some indonesian too! etc etc...)

Actually yeah this is also really where it's at

I think a lot about how we're still getting extremely like... milquetoast wholesome queer narratives (most of the time) in western m/m romance media (I have nothing against Heartstopper, but it's extremely 'all queer people are pure wholesome need-to-be-protected jellybeans' and like, cool, but I want more than that as well - like give me 20 shows that are 'all queer people' in 20 different genres, thanks. BL will give me that - BL will pay people to give me that.

The only way I can get that from western media is fanfiction, and sometimes - kind of - from published m/m, when it's not paint-by-numbers rapid release that isn't about telling stories from the heart and it's about telling stories from the bank account instead (which is a valid reason to write, it's just not what I'm looking for as a reader - most readers who end up loving and writing fanfiction aren't looking for this imho)).

Thomas Baudinette is actually doing incredible work in this area of Media Studies, where it's literally a known thing that BL - particularly in countries like Korea, Thailand and Taiwan - is actually taking huge strides ahead in the genre, comparatively, especially when up against western BL.

It almost feels like we're on a giant lag, buffering behind them, and about the only place we aren't is in fanfiction, which makes sense, because the cross-pollination between fandom and south-east Asian BL is incredible (literally, they got omegaverse and guide-verse from western fanfiction and western fandom, and imho are doing a lot more with it for money than we are, see: Pit Babe).

I've been reading up pretty heavily into Baudinette's work, and also a lot of the recent and up-to-date work in BL Studies (a thing), and like, it's just kind of fascinating the different interrogations of BL we have going on in different cultures and subcultures, and how different senses of place and culture and ethnicity and minority and belonging can influence our tales, along with many different manifestations of capitalisation, economy, influence etc.

And that isn't to say there aren't huge problematic areas for BL in all countries, not just western, I can critique western BL so easily because I am western, and it's been really interesting reading critiques of BL from academics who live within other countries from their perspectives too. But I do think if I want really great BL romances, turning to fanfiction and then turning to other cultures and what they're doing is often the first thing I do. I just don't have to search as hard to find what I'm looking for. And like, I'm lazy, lol, I don't want to search through 100 published works to find like 1-5 stories I might reread but not over my favourite manhwa or like fanfiction or whatever.

This has been my area of like... personal study for a few months now (literally reading Regimes of Desire: Young Gay Men, Media and Masculinity in Tokyo by Baudinette atm) and I have a lot of thoughts of which this is just a very generalised ramble and not actually anything of great meaning but like sadkljfas TL;DR yeah

#morbidlizard #idk how to categorise this but #pia on media studies #i do think it's really incredible that we get Pit Babe in part because #western fanfiction exists #what korea and thailand and other countries are doing with omegaverse #i just think hollywood and indie movie studios in the west are fucking cowards #run largely by puritanical evangelistic supremacists #and that other countries are seeing that actually omegaverse could spin them a LOT of money #in the mass media #already #absolutely wild

Babe/Charlie? For the couples ask thing.

BabeCharlie - CharlieBabe

What’s not to love about this power bottom Alpha and his Gary Sue love interest? Seriously, I talk shit, mostly for fun because I’m an ass that way. But I really do like how they flipped the script on what is typically portrayed in QLs, with the larger more muscular guy being an aggressive top and the smaller more waifish one being this uwu super femme bottom. Nah, Pit Babe not only tossed out the whole idea of your baseline ABO story - which let’s be honest most people need before even understanding anything more complex about that genre unless having read/written it before - but the series also tossed out that toxic bigger dude is the ‘guy’ in the relationship and the smaller dude is the ‘girl’ in the relationship stupid ass trope and I’m all for it. Babe is totally mama and is gonna be the best mpreg protagonist that ever hit tv, Pavel is awesome and I live for the insanity that this show has thrown onto the internet and into the QL fandom in general. Seriously, BabeCharlie are trail blazers and I applaud them. Even though Charlie can be somewhat whiny on occasion, but who isn’t, ya know? Lol!

Hi @bengiyo , for the 5 questions, I was wondering if you have any thing you would like to change in the bl/gl/ql fandom/space and if you could give advise to bl/gl/ql creators/ producers, what would be your top 5?

Thank you.

Pick a Lane: Stop Trying to be Too Many Shows

I really have gotten burned out on the shows attempting too many concepts at once. My Dear Gangster Oppa is probably the biggest offender, but it's also my beef with Pit Babe and most of the BL I dropped this year.

Stop Wasting My Time

Thai BL was Too Long this Year. These shows have us here for 8-12 weeks of 45+ minute shows and they do not consistently use this time well. I'm over it.

Get and Editor

Multiple shows this year are an hour or longer. These series need to have tighter episodic structure if you're going to have people here for the length of a movie. Each episode should have a major conflict that gets resolved to set up for the next big conflict. Multiple shows airing right now are getting boring because they're muddling through the middle of their stories. This has always been one of the things Taiwan struggled with, but it's been especially bothersome with Thailand this year.

Narrow Your Scope

Please just execute a core theme well. Do not introduce side couples that have nothing to do thematically with the mains. I hate when side couples feel like they're either here to fill air time or they feel like a competing pitch going on in the show. ABAAB had that whole thing with Thyme and did nothing with it. I'd rather have had a shorter show better focused on Cher and Gun than the meandering that New always gets caught up in.

Stop Moralizing the Characters

Way too much hand wringing over the morality of the characters dragged down the discourse this year. It's like we've lost touch with genre storytelling altogether and keep treating the characters like real people and not as agents of the narrative. There is some value in examining who these characters might be if they were real, but not at the expense of losing touch with the nature of romance and the other genres blending into BL lately.

The thing I struggle the most with is how Derek is criticised very harshly for his mistakes, while a character like Theo is absolved of everything, because he *checks notes* can be shipped with Liam.

Theo is everything that people say they hate about Derek. He's manipulative, he kidnaps people, killed his sister, and is actually pushing Stiles out of Scott's life. The initial feelings of jealousy Stiles have for Derek in season 1 bear out here, in that Derek never wanted to push Stiles away, while Theo absolutely does.

Not that Theo isn't an interesting character. I like him, it's just that I recognise that, yes, he is a foil for Derek. Everything Scott thought Derek was, Theo is.

I've seen people say that Theo was brainwashed by the Dread Doctors to kill his sister, and you know, that doesn't actually absolve him of that. If we're playing that game, then Derek and Allison can do absolutely nothing wrong, because they're abused and manipulated throughout the series.

I actually am convinced that a lot of Derek haters never actually watched the show and are consumed by fanon interpretations of him. Like, Derek is described as being violent and abusive, with no thought put into how he approaches humans vs werewolves.

Aside from one instance (the steering wheel, and lbr, I don't think that hurt all that much), Derek is gentle with Stiles. He doesn't throw Stiles around, he pushed him against one door (contrast that with how Scott and Chris push Stiles around). With Scott, it's different. Scott is a werewolf. Scott can heal, and also Scott started their first fight and Derek responded.

That is the exact opposite of abusive. Justice for my boy, Derek Hale, unfairly hated because he tried to save peoples lives.

i feel like the type of fan that favors theo like this skews younger and they either watched the show in the later seasons once a lot of the original fandom had departed or they've only participated in fandom via fic.

these things are fine but it does seem to lead to continued mischaracterization and derek often seems to be the one who gets the brunt of it.

allison too is still raked over the coals for being gaslit by her entire family and than manipulated by gerard. i think people don't think chris and victoria's treatment of allison wasn't abusive and miss that her entire season 3 arc was her atonement for what she did at the end of season 2 and she died in the end. it wasn't a happy ending for her.

it also never fails to make me laugh when i see people shipping thiam but while saying sterek is problematic because of the age gap. it's like babe the call is coming from inside the house.

and i've said this before and i'll keep saying it season 5 theo raeken does a lot of loading bearing in season 5 due being a dark reflection of stiles and a narrative mirror to both derek and scott.

it was done very purposefully and flipped the script on scott. i didn't realize it was something of a controversial take until i posted about it lol. theo's entire function as character in season 5 is to be a mirror.

theo is scott's attempt at course correcting what happened with derek. which to me fandom seems to misunderstand and mischaracterize derek and scott's relationship and continues to pit them against each other over various slights.

theo also exposes scott's failings as a leader and his self-righteousness but so much of fandom seems to think that scott is some how flawless and doesn't receive punishment by the narrative. he was manipulated, his pack broke up, he was unable to save barely anyone and he died. theo was scott's punishment.

tl; dr fandom be wild.

9 Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

Tagged by @befuddledcinnamonroll! Thank you so much for the tag!! 🥰 I really liked your post too!

I’m going to over explain everything 😅 sorry not sorry

3 Ships You Like:

1. Gao Shi De & Zhou Shu Yi are currently on my mind again! I remember We Best Love was one of the first BL shows I watched and the angst was intense! Plus the songs were really good too!

2. Lian & Kuea from Cutie Pie are one of my top pairs! The romance is on point! The Next Prince when??

3. Hira & Kiyoi from My Beautiful Man are so perfect together! Literally the definition of made for each other! Could never be with anyone else!

First Ship Ever:

I’ve always been into romance, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t 😅 but my first huge obsession/OTP was Edward and Bella from Twilight 🙈

I know, I know, I’m sorry to disappoint. I acknowledge that they’re problematic, and I in no way endorse any crazy behavior irl. But just like Kristen Stewart I look back on that time fondly and no one can ruin it for me.

Last Song You Heard:

I have way too many songs on my Spotify, so if I’m not in the mood for anything in particular I’ll just listen to my music in alphabetical order so I know I’ve heard them all. Right now I’m finishing up the letter U.

Favorite Childhood Book:

I read a lot as a child, but I don’t think I had a favorite. I remember Junie B. Jones and Geronimo Stilton the most but those were series so I read multiple of those. Twilight doesn’t count cause I was a teen by then.

Currently Reading:

I still read a lot, but I don’t read books anymore. I read fanfics on AO3 cause it’s easier access, they’re shorter stories, and I already know the characters. Sometimes when I finish a show I love the characters so much that I don’t want to let them go yet! Right now I’m eagerly awaiting every new chapter of “a glitch in the universe” by VishCount 😊

Currently watching:

- Unknown (everyone keeps saying it’s gonna hurt but I’m in denial lol there’s a happy ending though, right???)

- 1000 Years Old (I wasn’t planning on watching this, I just clicked on it on a whim but I’m really enjoying it)

- 23.5° (GMMTV’s first GL! Gotta show support! And it’s cute so far)

- Pit Babe (first time watching but I know some plot points)

- Vice Versa (#vvrewatch2024)

- Beauty Newbie (I didn’t watch True Beauty but I’m watching this remake cause Win Metawin is in it and it’s good so far but also I’m 4 episodes behind 🙈 they post 2 a week! That’s a lot for me!)

Currently consuming:

Water lol. I had Pollo Campero for lunch about 3 hours ago tho 👍🏽

Currently craving:

My bed! 😩 I have to get ready for work now and I don’t want to!

No pressure tags

I don’t know 9 people on here like that 😅😬 @stormyoceans @buckystilinski @katemagic @poetry-protest-pornography @absolutebl

#yay I was tagged in a game!! thanks again!! 😊#I’d love to read everyone else’s posts too but no pressure!!#tag game #my post

tag game: 9 questions for 9 people!

tagged by @phneltwrites

last song: listening to TOMORROW X TOGETHER's Coming Back For More (TXT Ver.) rn

currently watching: Cooking Crush! And Love Senior, somewhat. I am massively behind on my television also I can't watch Pit Babe until the new Roku thing I ordered arrives because now I refuse to watch it anywhere other than in my living room on the television and iQiyi broke itself purposefully on the old Google Chrome which is what we had before. I am very mad about it.

three ships: why is this hard rn..... i'm in a place where i'm just like Yeah Hit Me. uhhh everyone/everyone (every kpop group)? Dean/Castiel. Sasuke/Naruto

favorite color: all colors are good but i only like purple in context. i'm very into light yellow-ish greens right now. i wear a lot of pink and red as an Accent Color

currently consuming: i am eating a bagel with cream cheese and drinking my coffee

first ship: If we are talking in a fandom context, I think it probably has to be Inuyasha/Kagome, but could also potentially be Alanna/George from the Alanna the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce.

relationship status: single & considering mingling

last movie: ohhh my god. uhhhh. was it the barbie movie? WAIT NO IT WAS FAST & FURIOUS TOKYO DRIFT

currently working on: some illustrations at my job i'm not supposed to be doing illustrations for but i was like "between having to talk to another human person and just doing it myself right now doing it myself won"

tagging @jukebox-head @reserve @soteddybeartender @mangoamango @hobbular @sashayed @quinnofthedead @engine000 & You (if you need a meme to do)

#meme #lmao sorry did 5 ppl instead of.... 9.... so i fixed it

sandray - if you follow me on here you know. literally the last thing i think about before going to sleep and the first thing i think about when i wake up. they were manufactured in a lab to make me periodically lose my mind actually like, id never watched a thai series or heard of them and the only reason i chose to watch only friends was a ray edit someone made right after episode ONE that felt like it was bat signalling me and here i am 7?? months later a fully changed person..... like they will forever be a part of me now i think ill never be the same

vegaspete - similar to sandray in that i watched kinnporsche because of the vegaspete gifsets on the dash and was surprised to find out the series was not about them having bdsm sex in front of the corpse of a hedgehog like i was led to believe, not that i didnt end enjoying kp anyway. they alone would have been enough to make me obsessed but the things people create about them have changed me, thoroughly, like i am unrecognisable to myself after certain fics and fanart....

bokuaka - they are essential to my lore actually, like i dont post about them or engage with them as much as i used to because they are like my eyelashes like they are just a part of me now. bokuaka fanfic was what got me through high school tbh.

First ship ever: idk because ive wrote fic about characters since i was like 8..... actually im gonna be cringe and say chad and ryan from high school musical cause they were real to me when i was in elementary school <3

Last song you heard: good for what by little simz cause it will always get my pumped no matter what

Favorite childhood book: i read like a book a day when i was a kid but i think my favorite was the box car children even tho it traumatized me...

Currently reading: im always in a state of rereading my poetry collection and its recently been claude mckay but i need good novel recs PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME

Currently watching: at the peak of covid fever i started pit babe and im around halfway? thru now, also 23.5 the series as it comes out, and abbott elementary, and tsukutabe, also want to rewatch iwtv 2022... then theres all the shows my mutuals i posting about that i want to watch (im looking at you dead friends forever and moonlight chicken)

Currently consuming: hamantaschen that are supposed to be for tm but there raspberry jam flavored so im celebrating early 🫡

Currently craving: for food: i havent had cheesecake in like 5 years but i think about her everyday. in life: to try to get into the drag scene

ill tag @le-trash-prince @lilleeboi @jenyifer @kitas-cleaning-supplies @luminouschaotic @bokuto-my-beloved

and whoever wants to!!!

Hey!! Just saw your post about comments and I wanted to say that I often forget to comment, but I wanted to show my appreciation for what you are doing!!

I started following you for your flip your coin series and I was so happy to see you writing for PotBabe (and that for Kenta and Kim)! Kenta is hands-down my fave character in the series (Jeff is in 2nd place), just bcs I love how complex he is! And I get to let go of my frustration with how the show handles him with your fanfictions! I can‘t wait to read more from you (regardless in which fandom you write) and I realised just hitting on kudos is not going to show my love for your work. I will work harder!! Thank you for your hard work!

Always amazing to see people following from fandom to fandom haha. I don't know why we latched on to this pairing and to Kenta like this, sometimes there is no sensible explanation. I'm so frustrated they didn't make it true in the series but well, that's why we have fanfics.

Thank you very much for this. I don't want to look demanding or rude but comments truly are the heart of all this. Bookmarks and kudos are nice for sure, but what we (I at least) need as fanfic writers is engagement!

And tbh I also write a lot when I'm feeling a bit down, because comments and feedback are a true source of joy for me. Things are kinda hard and draining these days, and so I post fanfics hoping for this little rush of people interacting back. That's why I've been more whining than usual haha, Pit Babe is a super active fandom right now and the kudos-hit ratio is above usual, but the comments are way down (not just on my works, yeah I track that kind of things I like stats). And I understand not leaving comments every time, I don't do it either, I don't mean to shame or guilt trip, but when the kudos and bookmarks keep getting up but you don't get proper words of people actually interacting, it's kinda frustrating. Please give me the love lmao.

Anyway sorry for the rant, I truly appreciate you coming here to say this, it means a lot. I'll keep writing for Pit Babe for a while because it has a hold on my soul for now (and I'm sorry for everyone waiting for an FtC update. I'll be back to it soon I swear, but I'm riding the Pit Babe wave for now). Thanks again!

#askinrain #ask #pit babe the series #and others #i'll be better soon and stop complaining lol sorry about that #need to be a baby sometimes idk

I wanted to reply to this post by @italianpersonwithashippersheart and it turned out to be a very long text, so I'm posting it separately 😉

I have a tactic of reading posts on Tumblr, that as soon as I start reading and see that the author is going in a direction that I know I won't like, I immediately stop and move on (ALTHOUGH sometimes the author writes something I don't agree with in such an engaging way that I read it to the end for intellectual pleasure, or it's someone I like with whom I disagree just this time, but I read it anyway because, after all, I like that person for a reason 😚). That's why, fortunately, I usually (<- key word, usually) avoid fandom wars and problematic fandom behavior. I do this because I know how irritating fandom can be sometimes, especially when a it goes to war to defend its blorbo, or ship, or the entire series. And I regret to say that defenders are the most aggressive... Personally, I don't mind fans living on ships, their blorbo, squealing about them and so on. (I mean, I do that!) Unfortunately, as I'm sure you all know, so many fans who live it, LIVE IT and it's not just fun for them, it's the meaning of their lives. This is where the attacks on actors come from, like the recent attack on Nut, a homewrecker 😆 in Pit Babe, having the audacity to be friends with the actor playing Alan AND HE BELONGS TO SOMEONE ELSE!, or, as in the case of DFF, tearing Ta into two parts by his ukes two fandoms lmao. Unfortunately, such behavior poisons a positive fandom experience and even I can see it, even though I try very hard NOT to see it.

It also seems to me that DFF viewers could be divided into two distinct groups: DFF fans and BL fans 😉 I'm a DFF fan and that's why I'm interested in meta, theories and Tan. I like PheeJin for their dynamic, but, I don't really care if they end the series as a couple. Besides, for me DFF is a mystery/thriller/slasher/social commentary series with BL elements, in which I DON'T HAVE to have a happy ending for BL relationships to be happy, I only want Tan to be happy. However, someone for whom DFF is only a BL series could be frustrated because 1) there is no monogamy 😬 2) there is "cheating" 3) the characters behave unpleasantly 4) the characters behave in ambiguous ways and it's often not clear what they think and whom they truly love 5) the characters behaviour becomes unpredictable and non-standard and often problematic 6) the plot keeps getting weird, instructions unclear 7) what about my ship?? *panic*

Regarding the concerns about the ending of the series: in any other series I would have EXACTLY THE SAME worries. But I look at DFF in two categories:

as a slasher

as a story about life, without a moral lesson

This makes me NOT worry about the ending because:

if you look at it as a slasher and my favorite film of this type, i.e. Scream and to some extent also Final Destination, there is no moralizing here, because the victims are often innocent and still die, because this is the rule of this genre: people die in masses

if we do NOT look at it as a story with a moral lesson, we also get rid of the compulsion to judge, like, did they deserve or not to die?

I know that in the DFF fandom we often joke, more or less seriously, that we would like this one or that one to die, or for everyone to die, but this is completely normal behavior when consuming media in which someone gets hurt. In the case of DFF, emotions are high because we naturally stand on the side of someone who is bullied and we see how others, through their actions or omissions, or often making stupid mistakes, saying cruel words in anger, contributed to the great tragedy of the entire family. But what I noticed is that the series does not actually moralize. It emphasizes very clearly that Non is a victim, but he is not entirely innocent and has made many stupid decisions himself, having had other choices, while also showing why he makes such choices. It shows Por as a complete asshole, while showing his environment and expectations towards him, but it does not absolve him. It even shows Keng not as a typical sweaty, brutal pedo, but someone who is genuinely concerned about Non, AT THE SAME TIME showing the issue of his pressure on Non, the money, the grooming.

The series presents dry facts, shows characters from different sides, in different situations, it also shows how events move from point A to B and further along the letters of the alphabet :) all the time discovering new facts that explain more and more, sometimes posing a seemingly already explained situation in a completely new perspective.

Personally, I don't get the impression that the series even WANTS us to moralize in our high glass tower, because the series clearly shows that the innocent, defenseless and vulnerable suffer and no one helps them. That a stupid event can lead to tragedy with the butterfly effect. That sometimes things happen beyond our knowledge, that we are just a pawn in someone else's game and, despite our sincere intentions, we cannot stop the course of events. And that the poor have a hard time and lose entire families and their future, with the first fatality in the series being the only son and the future of the richest family.

Therefore, I am 99% sure that:

we do not know all the facts that can turn all our predictions, judgments and faith in what is happening on the screen 180 degrees

whatever happens to Tan, Phee and Jin, I doubt it will be presented as a punishment/reward for anything

Tan can kill them all and not be the winner, Phee can kill Tan and live with it for the rest of his life as a loser

there is no way for the series to end sensibly AND with "the victory of good over evil" and"justice", because evil has been winning all the time and every kick to Non's face, the death of his parents, Tan's "madness", the death of two young people, the trauma of the others were proof of that, also all the lives lost and their future in which change for good is possible

At the moment, I have nothing to complain about the 10 episodes so far, for me the series is run logically, and any question marks that appear in my head, I am calmly waiting for their answers in the next episodes. THERE IS HOWEVER ONE THING THAT WILL ANGRY ME ABOUT THE ENDING: IF THE SERIES MAKES TAN A CONVERTED SINNER WHO CHOOSES LOVE, PEACE AND FORGIVENESS AT THE LAST MOMENT 🤮 I don't even want to think about it. This is the worst thing that can happen.

Despite everything, I still believe that the series will not do something so stupid at the end, that from a painfully realistic story about life with hints of a thriller and a slasher, it will turn into a fairy tale with a moral lesson, in which good (the established social order) will be rewarded and evil (anarchy represented by Tan) will be punished.

I have my dream ending, but whatever, it's my fantasy 😍 But at least 3 BL series from recent weeks ended exactly NOT the way I wanted, so I'm resigned to the fact that DFF may also fail in this matter 🤡

tl;dr everything will be fine, and if it's not fine, we have a great team to sit together and bitch together 🥳

@italianpersonwithashippersheart I fucking love rant posts 😤😤 I LOVED YOURS 💖💖💖

Thank you @cerriddwenluna for the tag.

Rules: List your "top 10" (or up to 10 if you haven't written that many) fics ranked by kudos on AO3. Are you surprised by what's most popular to your readers? Then, under a cut, provide your ranking of your personal top 10 fics (with explanations if you want!), and then tag a few fellow writers!

I admit I didn’t know if I should do the top 10 for Glee fics only, since that’s the fandom we share, or all my fics, so, uh, I did both.

Top 10 According to Readers, Glee Edition:

Myosotis sylvatica (73,167 words) - 151

I’m still alive and I’m still getting love (20,782 words) - 149

Mendacious (27,179 words) - 136

All the pretty things that we could be (70,071 words) - 113

Everything changed (2,642 words) - 113

I really, really like you (1,575 words) - 107

I’d cry a river just for you (30,541 words) - 106

The Critic (5,322 words) - 92

Ik was meteen ondersteboven. (1,544 words) - 87

It's about time (19,183 words) - 81

I am not surprised about the first 4. I’m still alive is actually a Brittana fic and for a very long time it was indeed my most kudo’d Glee fic, which surprised me. I was aware of this because ironically that is the only fic that ever got a nasty comment, so it was kind of funny to me. “This is so stupid”, babe, people clearly don’t agree. Everything changed is also a crossover with Check, Please!, but I suppose it counts since it is still a Glee fic. Apart from that, all I can say is that I hoped River fic was a bit higher which leads to:

My Top 10 Glee fics:

I’d cry a river just for you (lol)

All the pretty things that we could be

Mysotis series (I always see the 5 parts as one whole, even though sylvatica is the main one)

Mendacious

Barking Up The Wrong Bakery

Ljubim te (yes, it is still a WIP)

Seven am

Anyway series (even though I haven’t reread that one in years)

It’s about time

aap noot mies

I guess it is kind of sad that I struggled with this list after no. 5 😬. Like, I literally sat here going “uhhhh.... aap noot mies, I guess? Kinda? Hmmm.”

There’s just a lot of older stuff that I don’t really remember. I’m sure they’re fine and that I will like them if I reread them. I only knew of two fics that I definitely did not want on the list, but most of the 68 fics are just kind of “in limbo”.

And also I gotta say that no. 1 to 4 kind of share a spot. Those are just my fave fics that I have written and I do not want to pit these bad bitches against each other but alas 😔. I put River fic on one because I feel like that one is the best in “technical” sense. All the pretty things was a fucking experience. So was Myosotis and I loved the universe I created for it. And Mendacious challenged me. If they are no. 1, then Bakery fic is no. 2 because it amused me so much.

Anyway, moving on...
