*has another bad memory activated after a chat* I remember at the beginning of me joining the BB fandom, in summer 2021, I had the worst luck ever of attracting a person over discussing Izzy with now deactivated user, who instantly jumped at me with so much warmth, interest, questions, engagement and trust that by that time not even my friends were so affectionate

We exchanged Discords and chatted for a week or two, and I was feeling so, so, SO safe. It's been after a what, three years period of emotional abuse from every corner, loneliness, depression and meds? It felt like a final healing ray of warm sunshine after the longest and coldest night. She (at least it was her pronouns back then, dunno if it changed by now or not) wished me good night and good morning and was so genuinely invested in talking to me, I thought I've found a new friend.

......then, one morning, I messaged her a headcanon I thought she'd like, but saw that she blocked me on Discord. And Tumblr. I did not know why, so I asked a shared mutual to ask her what happened on my behalf. But while waiting for that mutual, the pain grew so severe that I no longer wanted to know. I simply made a throwaway account on Tumblr to tell her in her face how much it hurt and that she should not lure people with fake sense of trust and warmth if she is ready to just backstab them like this. And what did she do? Well, she posted a rant about me in her blog, namedropping me so people could "stay safe", pretending like I've done sone irreparable harassment to her when I just told her to not act like a friend and then bail without explanation, and worse: she revealed that all along, she was reading some twisted emotional manipulation in my messages when I was just being socially awkward, and instead of addressing her problems with me in MY face, she was showing my messages to her friends to discuss with them how """manipulative""" I was and took their advice to block me and run. 🤦‍♂️

Needless to mention that as soon as Eugene started a crusade number 2 against me, she instantly joined her on this one like "heeeey guys I am a victim of this horrible abusive monster too, she MANIPULATED me and HARASSED me when I tried to get away!!!!" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Ever since she blocked me after acting very affectionate and friendly in every way possible, I've had nightmares about her for half a year and I still, to this day, feel scared every time I hit a good conversation with someone in the fandom. I always get paranoid that they, too, might read nonexistent malice in my messages and discuss the level of my "harm" behind my back. After what she did I struggled to trust anyone in the fandom. But of course she acted like she was the victim who got harmed here. All because she could not address her suspicions of me in my face and because I told her "don't fucking cultivate strong trust only to break it"!

Fuck you, Spade, you deserve my hatred even after all this time, and I'll hate you until I stopped second-guessing everyone I chat with. Which is still a problem I have. I hate people who throw words of affection and warmth around like they mean nothing and then act all weirded out when people they got to trust them, big shock, started to TRUST them! "We weren't even friends we only talked for like two weeks!!!! 🥺" then why you did literally everything to act like a friend to me? And I sure hate people who can't even say "Hey, this thing you say makes me feel unsafe like you want to get certain reaction from me, can you Not" instead of talking bad faith trash about me behind my back. I hope a moment of fame feeling like a victim of terrible abuse was worth it, huh? God, you should become friends with Anna, you two are horribly similar.

Do you ever set out with two characters, with the decisive intention of them being platonic, and even ship them with other people. Then they overrule that decision by having so much chemistry that you want to ship them despite still having this alternative plan????

if we're talking Gambit fan casts, Jacob Anderson is my number one choice for a live action version. He can do the accent, he has the vibe, and he's an amazing actor 🙂‍↕️

i know that people have wanted varric to be romanceable for years but i actually think it's a gift that he's not because it means i can delve deep into his intimacy issues without him having a romance path in either da2 or dai lmao. like this is a dwarf who talks a good game, especially to isabela in their very sexually charged banter, but cannot finish his own romance serial, which he claims is because it's not that popular but i think it's also out of insecurity about it not being that good ( considering he writes the next serial only when prompted by the inquisitor to do it for cassandra ), whose only confirmed romantic relationship is with a woman that he cannot actually be in a functional relationship with and who arguably doesn't care as much for him as he does for her, and who he then names his crossbow after because that's a totally normal, well adjusted thing to do.

i personally think this all has roots in the fact that he has been a caregiver for almost his entire life. he took care of his mother after his father died and his brother was trying to restore the tethras family name, dealing with her alcoholism while also trying to cover up her issues in order to keep the family name intact. he cared for her all the way up until her death and then in hawke + the da2 group he found new people to care for and that's the primary way in which he knows how to function in a social situation. he's the one that everyone relies on, that looks out for everyone and who dismisses any troubles of his own so that he's not burderning anyone with them. he's a fixer: he fixes problems, he comes up with solutions, he's always moving forward with some kind of plan. he very rarely, if at all, wallows in his own self pity, even when it comes to his bartrand personal quest line. i don't think varric knows how to be properly vulnerable with another person; the closest he gets is naturally with hawke ( though it's never romantic ), plus you see this side of him with the inquisitor if you sacrifice hawke in the fade but that is an exceptional set of circumstances and definitely not something that is the norm for him.

hi friend, you still have the potential to be sued here in the US, even if you’re not using images. That’s a big part of why authors likes Anna Todd, scrubbed After (with all references to Harry’s name) from the internet when she started charging for it and before any publication would take an interest. (Before anyone comes for me, I’m sure the original has been saved by some third part somewhere. This is the internet after all. But the point remains if she were to be sued, she is able to claim that she did her due diligence by removing any and all content with any reference to Harry Styles from the internet BEFORE she received any payment.) The US is currently starting to crack down on copyright and intellectual property infringement. In large part due to the fact that so many people have received huge payouts over the last ten years. Unfortunately they’re not choosing to go after the ones that have actually gotten rich from the issue. And while the drivers might not care. Their management most certainly will. If you’re choosing to charge for your fiction it might be best to at the very least change names so you might have some form of deniability.

this was an interesting ask, thanks for the heads up again!

I'm not trying to go against your word, but rather wondering about the topic myself because it seems to me it's a huge gray area, so feel free to reach me on my private messages or on anon again if you want. But speaking about Anna Todd, technically she could still be sued even after scrubbing Harry's name from the story because there was still proof on the internet that it was a story about him, if we're talking about defamation it doesn't need to involve the monetization aspect, it's still defamation without it. This would mean that ANY RPF fanfiction is illegal and could be sued (which is not necessarly the case because theres the whole fair use thing).

We're talking about huge payouts, but I'm getting less than fifty dollars a month with Patreon lol would their team really come for me (a poor grad student) on behalf of a billionaire for getting less than fifty dollars a month to help pay school and medical bills? this would need a huge pr work too to make them seem good after doing something so crazy like this.

Talking about defamation, let's say I change names, but this Tumblr would still be up and everything else would easily show that it's about pilot X, this could still be considered illegal because you can tell who it is about. The reason why nobody comes for rpf is because 1) the money people are talking about is just a few bucks most of the time, and 2) it's exactly this real people's FICTION, there's not much to talk about defamation of a worldwide artist when the content you're sharing is for a nich of less than one hundred people, it's not reasonable. I haven't found a past decision about something similar in the US court, if there is, please send it in, but other than that it's a huge speculation thing in my head, which only a judge could clarify.

Patreon and monetizing fanfiction is quite common in fandoms like Chris Evans', for example, and I haven't seen anything legal come from it yet. again because it's unreasonable for those artists to go after their own fans for taking less than a hundred dollars in content that clearly sets a fictional character that just happens to look and have the same name as them because more often than not it's set in an alternative universe.

what do you do if Simcoe was naked in your bed?

The Captain seemed to LURK in the deepest fathoms of the inky-black SHADOWS. Without Selah's presence at Strong Manor, the hallways felt MORE like a precarious venture than making the trek to the dead-drop. The brunette's skin CRAWLS with remembrance of the WAY the insipid man ogled her as if she was the only thing that could satisfy his voracious appetites. It was DAMNABLY indecent. Not even her husband had cast such glances towards her.

The brunette stepped closer to her door and paused, her porcelain fingers curled about the handle. He's been here, when she hasn't. She is sure of it. Hypervigilance seems to GNAW on very vertebrae of her spine until it assumes another identity altogether. Was she becoming PARANOID? Lord. She hoped not.

Reminding herself that such vivid machinations and imaginings were FOOLISH in nature, she expels a SIGH. The knob turns, and hurriedly, she pushes herself into the room. The door is quickly shut behind her.

Another, more fatigued breath of relief departs from her as she begins to unpin her silken locks. That is, UNTIL she realized there was a form in her bed. Fearing that she was SUFFERING melancholia, Anna spins about to face her bed, only to let out a TERRIFIED gasp!!!!

A violently quaking hand rises to shield her maple orbs from the UNHOLY sight before her. "Captain," she raspily addresses. "I fear you may have had too much to drink. The-- these are my quarters and-- I-- I did NOT summon for you. I-- I ..." She stammers, face blanching. "I -- I wish for you to vacate, this minute."

She swoops down, gathering his uniform garments (Garments she is far too intimate with thanks to doing his laundry) and tosses it at the lanky-legged man.

as a fellow fashion girlie maybe you understand but i’m pulling my hair out at people on twitter critiquing every little thing about daniel going to the met gala like he had little choice in who was dressing him and his outfit the most choice he got was like “sooo this black suit or another black suit” his outfit actually is in theme (LITERAL LINES aka a LINE of beauty) it’s just more subtle and not in your face bc if it doesn’t have the interlocking logo or covered in pearls people don’t get it these days. and i hate that they’re using lewis or ganyu as a gotcha like idk ask prada or valentino why those two weren’t picked for the table and also i love lewis but his met gala looks have been in theme of daniels aka not being particularly inspiring 😭❤️ f1 drivers aren’t big enough to get the good looks it is what it is

Omfg I missed this sorry but ur absolutely correct ik I didn’t really say anything about it but I personally thought he looked very chic and ive heard from a lot of people that he made a good impression. He went wid Thom browne of course he was gonna wear a suit like people have no idea what they’re talking about and just want to throw lew and Zhou guanyus name into it to be petty and get some attention. They’re not actually interested in the fashion

I don't care that vronksy is suffering. this is partially HIS fault
