#this is why I can never leave tunglr

[marsti]

the thing is right, sometimes it's not about "reading comprehension". there are a lot of people who will engage with something that goes "this character's ideology is bad" and come away thinking "well i disagree with the story that character has awesome ideas"

most obviously this is how you get fascist reappropriation of antifascist works, but that also applies to a lot of other emotional ideas. people don't want to be told the way they're feeling is wrong! so you can have people who genuinely believe "XYZ character is totally right distancing yourself emotionally from the people around you is the only way to survive" or whatever, and it doesn't necessarily mean they didn't understand that the story was saying it's bad. it's entirely possible that they do and they simply disagree. in fact, i think it's MOST LIKELY that they do.

and that's just true of most things, i think. whatever we're talking about here, be it a book or a movie or even a random ass post about someone's opinion, you can really make yourself go insane trying to convince that kind of person. you'll say "how can you not get it?" and they'll be very confused, they'll say "of course i get it! do you think i'm stupid?" and then go on to add something completely contradictory to the point. and it's easy to go, ok well they're just stupid and leave it at that.

but there is something dangerous in thinking of the world as People Who Agree With Me (Smart, Understanders Of Things) and People Who Disagree With Me (Dumb, Have Never Read A Book), and not just because intelligence is a flawed and often fascistic concept in itself. even if they're coming from a bad place, even if their opinion is legitimately trash, is it not worth it to actually think about why they think that way? to at least have them explain themself so you can see where they're coming from before dismissing them entirely?

and, look, i'm not saying to treat every opinion with the same weight as everyone else's or to go debate bigots or whatever. but i am saying you have to eventually confront the truth that even the worst takes can, in fact, come from people with the exact same capacity for thought and reasoning as you. not only because there is a legitimate difference between someone who Does Not Get It and someone who Gets It But Has A Wack Take, and knowing how to spot it will make your life far easier, but because it is legitimately necessary to live in a community. and it does in fact start with silly little things that don't matter like arguing about cartoons for 5 year olds on tunglr dot hell.

[kainagant]

I've reblogged stuff about like "send more asks!" before and I've decided to be the change I wish to see in the world SO

personally I like sniperhaul as a platonic pairing, not least because i see them both as Gay In The Wrong Direction. like in my mind they're constantly bickering but also refuse to leave each others' sides for more than a day because they both went through the same shit. they don't even dislike each other they're just constantly lowkey fighting for no reason other than habit

Also like. opinions on Bakugo Mitsuki/Tsutsumi Kaina? both in the sense of 'how would these two very different adult women interact' and in the sense of bakugo "i'm gonna be the number 1 hero at all costs" katsuki having tsutsumi "the hero system is fundamentally corrupt and being a hero is shit actually" kaina

(have i sent you an ask before? i think i might have)

hey there! i've never received an ask on this blog before, from you or anyone else, as its only like two weeks old. congrats on being the first 🎉🎉 (if you did send me an ask before, then tunglr ate it)

honestly chisaki kai is one of those characters that i perceive as aroace, which is like fifty percent me projecting and the other fifty is vibes. so whatever pairing i put him in is closer to a queerplatonic relationship than anything else. this is honestly the case for all shipping i do because i'm very aromantic but it's not always on purpose. but i'm also a shameless multishipper and i think that there's no single most correct pairing or even a single correct interpretation of said pairing.

this is all to say i love your take on sniperhaul. i definitely imagine them as the kind of duo who are always being catty with each other. borderline just pure rude if it weren't for the fact that the reason why they can banter freely is because of how well they understand each others' boundaries.

i feel like i have seen kaina/bakugo's mom fics and went. h u h. if you have any recs then i'll definitely read them. i think i was looking for something specific at the time so i scrolled past but now that you bring it up again i'm definitely intrigued. in regards to my first impressions of the pairing though. to be honest there's not a lot of canon information on mitsuki. her personality is assumed to be basically just katsuki but more chill. however i also think that the mothers of feral anime boys deserve to be even more feral because after ren gyokuen from magi something in my brain chemistry was permanently changed. so i'm just going to take liberties here and write mitsuki a personality that's not just "bakugo katsuki's mom".

so its obvious that katsuki takes after her, and she seems to understand that a lot of his mannerisms come from her. so i think she was one hell of a teenager. her quirk basically makes her have flawless skin. mitsuki was the definition of it girl. sorry she can't answer the phone she's at a party. maybe she even hooked up with kaina in college. if you really want to drive the katsuki connection in hard, maybe she was even a bit of a mean girl. though i think she wasn't as problematic as katsuki because she didn't have people feeding her ego constantly in the same way. anyway this is all to say that i think mitsuki mellowed out a lot with age. but she definitely still has something of a youthful spirit leftover from her heyday. her skin can be a metaphor for that.

if mitsuki is a woman who has held onto her youth, kaina is a woman who lost her youth early on. the phrase 'old beyond her years' applies here. she doesn't know how to be a teenager anymore. she forgot. what is it like to not spend every night haunted by the lives she took with her own hands? she doesn't remember.

when they meet then mitsuki takes one look at kaina and tries to ask her out for a drink. it's a small thing, but slowly, kaina is relearning how to be a person and not a weapon. mitsuki is showing her how. and mitsuki can't really understand what makes kaina miserable, what makes kaina wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. but mitsuki can stay awake with her. she can hold her close and say. hey. you're more than whatever you see when you look at your own hands. anyway this got really long. i'm just making stuff up on the fly but yeah they could have that kind of dynamic.

ok ok. cracks knuckles. kaina and katsuki. the thing is that they have surface similarities i think. "so how should i solve this problem i have…" kaina and katsuki both stare at me like im fucking stupid "blow its brains out??" there's a duh here. they're both the kind of person who is smarter than other people assume based off of first impressions. but that's only because they're the straight arrow type. there's no fucking around the point with these two, they're blunt and very goal focused. they tend to hyperfocus on whatever they're currently trying to do, and they don't stop to wonder if it's wrong or just a liiiitle fucked up. cue the rude awakening.

you mentioned bakugo's hero thing vs kaina's hero thing, but i think that they're not as at odds as one might think. bakugo's hero thing was never a "save everyone" shirou emiya style (thats midoriya's patent). he admired all might because all might was always victorious. kaina probably wouldn't have a strong opinion one way or another. he's obviously missing something to make him a "true hero" or whatever. but she's not stain, for goodness sake. the whole idea of there being a perfect hero feels incredibly fake to her. if anything, katsuki's honest "i'm going to win to save people" approach might be more genuine than some fragile idealism that he can't actually back up. actually. to be honest, katsuki would be exactly the kind of hero that kaina wants to see more of. he doesn't mince words or pretend to be more righteous than anyone else. full transparency: he can be kinda a dick. but if society is going to employ heroes than people need to understand that heroes are people too, and yeah. people can be dicks. pardon my french. i'm channeling katsuki.

i don't think kaina would care one way or another that katsuki is striving for number one. the hero rankings were never really a thing to her. kaina's problem with hero society wasn't the same problem as what stain had. i think people assume that it is, because stain kinda had half of a point, except for the culling the fakes thing. but i think kaina would very much disagree with stain. because stain wanted more pure heroes. he wanted to exalt the ideal hero, put them above everyone else. and kaina just wanted heroes to get off their high horse and admit that they aren't perfect. nobody is.

deep breath. so yeah. thanks for the ask. thanks for reading my incoherent rambles too, assuming you got this far. hopefully i actually answered your questions, but if i didn't then sorry, this definitely got away from me. i also followed you back from my mainblog, so cheers to being mutuals. i'll try to send you a bunch of asks too, since 🤝 be the change you want to see in the world.

20 Questions for Writers

i was tagged by cousin @radioactive-earthshine

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

175 published works! I do not count any WIPs, outlines, notes scratched longhand, or random shitposts I make on the tunglr because that's another 1700+ 😂😂😂

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

According to my stats page.... 1,218,398. So 1.2 million+ words published since maybe 2010. Everything prior to 2010 was deleted because I was super embarrassed of what I used to write 😭

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I follow my heart so my AO3 is basically my fixation chart in real-time. Way too many specific fandoms to count, but in terms of medium: I write for a lot of manga fandoms, used to write kpop fanfiction as a kid, still write kdrama fanfiction whenever something catches my eye, and of course comic books and wrestling. I also have a handful of fanfics for books.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Shadow Dance (Captain America/Avengers movies) Sometimes Love Starts in the Bed [Or that One Week Kamui Tried His Parents' Approach at Romance] (Gintama manga) To the Rhythm of His Love (Black Clover manga) Tere Liye, Hum Hain Jiye (Black Clover manga) Red Bangles, Black Anklets (Naruto manga)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I love responding to comments!! It makes me feel special lmao 😂

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ephemeral (Hunter x Hunter manga). I basically wrote the ending for the Dark Continent arc (since it's unlikely it'll ever get finished), and sank the boat and all its passengers while making my OTP end up together in heaven after they both died 😂😂😂

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Leoht Unfæger (Beyond Evil kdrama). Basically wrote a novella repairing my ship's relationship that the kdrama had done serious damage to. They got married in the end even though one half went to jail for contributing to the other half's sister's demise. Oh, and the same guy who went to jail also used to bang the sister 😂😂😂

8. Do you get hate on your fic?

Regularly! I'm pretty vocal about my likes and dislikes, and many times, by behavior has invited demons into me house. During my Black Clover fandumbing days, a crackhead used to make it their mission to leave hateful comments on my fics. I don't delete them however. Most of the time it makes me laugh bc you can figure out the speech patterns and tag exactly who it is that wrote it. I like to think ten years down the line, they'll look back on their clownery and let the shame eat them alive.

9. Do you write smut?

Yes!

10. Do you write crossovers?

It depends! During my kpoppie days, I did a crossover of my favorite band and one of my favorite kdramas, and never finished it (even though I have the ending outlined on paper). It really depends on the fandoms and if I find synergy between them.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Probably lol, but not that I know of. I grew up during the asianfanfics days, and used to post fanfiction on other sites before I got an AO3 account. It was not uncommon to see fanfiction stolen from LJ and other sites that were then posted to asianfanfics, which had a notorious plagiarism issue.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! I have three in circulation in the Russian language, and one that was translated into Chinese!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Nope, unless RPing during the third grade on Naruto forums counts as collaborating on fanfic 😂😂😂

14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?

It changes every day bc I am dynamic and go with me heart. But also note, for some of my favorite ships, I've either never written fanfiction for, or it's no longer available cuz I done deleted it, so I'll just note my CURRENT haunts (which may or may not be decades old... sad 😂).

Comic books: Jon Kent/Jay Nakamura, Bart Allen/Kon El

Manga: Asta/Liebe, Jack the Ripper/Yami Sukehiro

Who knows what I will like tomorrow.... I certainly don't 🤪

15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a Smallville Earth 2 post-canon fic outline I've had sitting in my drafts for over ten years....... Inshallah one of these days, but I sincerely doubt it 😂😂😂

16. What’s your writing strengths?

Building dread, purple prosing, and writing the saddest sadz before giving folks the happy ending. I'm also a slowburn maestro. Love horror, but usually end up writing more romance than plain horror LOL 👽

17. What’s your writing weaknesses?

I be overthinking shit, or I be outlining something and saying I'm finna write it but then I don't because I end up getting distracted by something else. I have a Prison Playbook kdrama fic outline that's nineteen pages long that I will never write out bc I got distracted by ANOTHER kdrama. I have OCD but that shit apparently has no impact on my publication goals 😭

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Love it! I'm fluent in multiple languages, so I love peppering in different languages in my fanfics, and regularly borrow from Hindi and Arabic language songs, poems, and other media to title fics. Maybe 30% of my fanfiction is inspired by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan songs. It do be like that sometimes djhfgdfgdf

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I genuinely don't remember anymore, it has been SO long. All I DO know is that I deleted it all because I was an embarrassed baby and really wish I hadn't. It can be anything between the following fandoms: Yugioh, X-Men comics, Bleach, Smallville, some variant of old teen movies, etc. I seriously don't remember which one, but ONE of them. lol.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

All of them. I bleed words. I be rereading my own fanfiction like they're the hottest novels on the stands. I try to read other fanfiction when the mood strikes, but I myself am my target audience, so I be writing things that I know I'm gonna reread years down the line. For example, my HxH fanfics are still my favorite fanfics from the fandom cuz nobody else was writing Hisoka/true!form!Bisky, and few people were dedicated to Melody/Kurapika. I'm a narcissist 👽👽👽

[the-iron-orchid]

The thing I love most about tunglr is that I can be a fandom smutblog and also share like some cross stitch or knitting or something and have other people be like AAAAAYYYYYY

[madamhatter]

hi soar i just wanted to drop in and say 1. TUNGLR U BINCH HOW HAVE U NOT NOTIFIED ME OF TWO (2) POSTS WITH MY URL ON EM!!!!! SMH!!! and 2. i already say this a lot but I NEED TO SAY IT AGAIN!!! I LOVE YOUR SOPHIE SO MUCHHH AAAAAAAAA like!! i never read the book but you made me love sophie so so much... she's so fleshed out and multilayered and i love reading more abt her and how her magic -cough- curses😳⁉️ -cough- works and her internal thoughts and just how she views herself and and!!!! I JUST LOVE HER SM OKOK 😭😭❤❤ your sophie has such a special place in my heart and gotdamn do i admire your sophie so much bc you have?? given her sooo much life and seeing all the great verses and ideas you have for her is just so cool and inspiring! and your writing?? ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS i feel like i'm snuggling up in a bunch of blankets + a warm cup of chamomile in front of a fireplace when i read ur writing.. it's such a nice vibes that's so sweet and comforting to me 🥺 like u!!! AND I'VE YET TO EVEN MENTION HOW GREAT OF A FRIEND YOU ARE!!! HOW I LOVE TALKING AND JUST SCREAMING AT UUUU ugh!!! point is!!! i care u sm soar and sophie and i hope u know that 💞💞 also yes i was stalking ur blog a lil bit hehe sowwyyy!

TOO MUCH LOVE----! O.H.K.O. !!!

Joking aside, Lynn, why do you spoil me so with such kind and sweet words?! I've been writing this girl for almost seven years since she was among the first five muses on I had on this platform. The little sprouting Sophie has grown a lot throughout the years, but a lot of the past continues with her.

It really much means the world to me that Sophie is able to leave some impact/impression on people. Really, as a writer, that is all we really want: something that causes reaction and helps bridge the understanding of written intent/emotion/etc. between writer and reader. In spite of all the chaos she unintentionally attracts, and even with her slips of somberness, Sophie is a lovely lady and I'm glad you see that! ;A;

As for YOU, thank you for being an equally, if not more, supportive and wonderful friend that screams back at me with all the ideas we have!! We have been able to bounce off so many ideas for these two MC losers and draw some many comparisons/contrasts that the planner in me goes "heehoo." ESPECIALLY when we consider F/E with Hakuno and Alter Ego!Sophie and the subsequent tragedy of wanting to live. . . . :^)

I stated it before but I have been often lost in the side games in the Fate-verse and after being exposed to Ha.kuno for so long, she has now infested a big brainworms for Miss Kish.inami. And I already have plans for playing F/ER whenever there is a blasted release date announced for it!!

SPEAKING OF BRAINWORMS--

I cannot WAIT for Hak.uno to get thrown into TWST that way I can continue the Ka.lim/Ha.kuno propaganda that literally started last night and has not left my brain. I rub my little grubby hands like I am a fly.

[petri808]

Hauntober day 7 prompt Haunted FYI these hauntober drabbles are written straight on tunglr so ignore the grammar lol. I’m just doing them for fun.

Nalu drabble requested by @phoneboxfairy yeah this story just did what it wanted to 🤣

Lucy looks around her kitchen as she stood in the middle of it, unsure of how she’d ended up there. ‘What am I doing back home?’ The last thing she remembered was leaving for work that morning, frustrated for having over slept. If it wasn’t for Natsu pinching her, she probably wouldn’t have gotten up at all. Guess having a ghost for a roommate had its advantages.

When she’d bought the cozy house, the realtor had warned her that it had some quirks to it; aka haunted. Back then she didn’t really believe in ghosts or spirits, but now she did. It was weird at first, and he’d definitely done his best to scare her away. But eventually they’d grown accustomed to each other’s presence and even enjoyed it. She wasn’t lonely anymore and neither was he.

In fact, she rather enjoyed some of the moments they shared. Natsu could be a little handsy at times, loved to tease or tickle her, and she swore he was sleeping next to her in bed despite his denials. Okay, so maybe she didn’t mind the attention and purposely taunted him while she changed. It was the only action she was getting lately and who was he going to spill to? It’s not like a ghost could leak nude pictures of her on the internet like some real life creep.

It took a lot of effort for Natsu to ‘talk’ to her or touch things. He’d told her at certain times of the month it was easier to gather the energy necessary or if he was riled up, he was able to pull it off. Natsu told her he’d been stuck there for a ‘long time.’ How long he couldn’t say exactly, but before ‘those electronic thingys.’ When Lucy found out he couldn’t leave the property, she was sad for him. To be stuck somewhere all alone, but at least according to him it was a place he had loved in life.

She often tried to picture what he looked like based on his own descriptions. Natsu claimed to be taller by about a foot, green eyes, and when he died he was only 24 years old, 1 year older than Lucy was now. He sounded cute or maybe she just hoped he was since she was starting to like him. Crazy, yes, to develop feelings for a ghost but when you spend so much time with someone, is it really a crazy idea? They say people should fall for a personality and not looks, so well, guess this fit the bill. A long distance boyfriend just instead of another State he was in another dimension.

They talked about a lot of things, their lives, friends, family, hobbies, but the only thing he refused to talk about was how he died. Natsu said he didn’t know exactly what happened, only that they’d been ambushed and there was a loud explosion. It made her wonder if Natsu had been a soldier during the Civil War or maybe even the American Revolution. Regardless, the records for this area were sparse and she couldn’t find anything about a Natsu living there at any point in time.

‘What time is it?’ Maybe she’d only dreamt up going to work this morning. It is Monday, right?! Wow, had she drank too much at the party last night and now her brain is only half working? “Ugh, I should’a listened to...”

“Lucy?”

“Natsu?” She whips around at such a strong voice. He’s never come through so well before! It was almost as if, “how are you standing there?!” He was right in front of her. Not translucent but as if he was, “alive?!”

The half smile on his face withers away as he shakes his head ‘no,’ he wasn’t alive. But that would mean?! Lucy races to the back door and throws it open... tried to anyways. Her hand slips right through the door knob. “N-Natsu?!” Lucy turns around slowly to find him closer now.

“I’m sorry,” he pulls her into a hug, gently cradling her head. “I’m so sorry Lucy.”

“D-did I die?!” The tears trickle out into a full-blown sob. This was all too much take!

“I can only assume so.”

His voice was soft and full of empathy. Of course, he couldn’t know since he can’t leave either. Was it a car accident? ‘Oh, no maybe I’d been rushing and got into an accident!’ “Why can’t I remember?” Lucy cries harder.

“Sometimes vague stuff comes back or if you hear or see information about it.” He rests his head against hers, “but I got ya Lucy, I’ll help you get through this.”

At that moment, another presence makes itself known. Lucy raises her head up and sees her dog Plue standing in the doorway to the living room staring at them. “Plue?!” She pushes away from Natsu and drops before the animal, but it continues to stare forward as if it can’t see her. “H-he can’t see me, can he?” The words choke through sobs.

“No, but animals sense us.”

Her head hangs lower as her body collapses. “Oh, Plue...” but is again buffered by Natsu as he holds her close against his body. Her fingers grip tightly to his shirt as she buries her face into his chest.

“Shh,” he gently runs his fingers through her hair and rubs circles on her back. “You’ll be okay, Lucy, I’m here for you.”

As Natsu soothes a sobbing Lucy, they hear the front door open and a familiar voice yelling for Plue. The dog takes off running towards it, and Lucy scrambles to her feet as well. “It’s Levy.” When they reach the front of the house they see the woman clinging to Plue, tears streaming down her face. Levy was her best friend, and despite the pain of her circumstances, Lucy was glad to see she’d come for Plue, however was torn by the pain her friend was in. “It really sucks I can’t comfort her.”

Lucy watches quietly as Levy puts Plue’s leash on and after taking a few silent moments, leaves again. “I hope she’ll be okay.”

“Your friends a tough one, so I’m sure she’ll be fine.”

“You’re probably right.” Lucy let’s out a heavy sigh. “Thank you, Natsu. I can’t even imagine how it was for you to be alone all these years.”

“It wasn’t... easy— I was angry for a long time, but hey,” he throws on a silly smile, “at least we’ll both have company from now on.”

“Pfft!” As poor in taste it was under the circumstances, his smile brought out one from her too. “So, now what do we do? Like, how does this all work?”

He chuckles, “well we don’t need to eat or sleep, but other than that we go on with our lives here. We can interact with each other as if were physical, it’s just the living we can’t touch, you know, like how I’d explained before.” Natsu shrugs. “Just takes getting used to.”

She steps closer, facing him, staring at his face, each second ticking by like a contest of who’ll blink first.

“Um, Lucy?”

She places her hands on the sides of his cheeks, her fingers almost testing the surface and exploring his features. Head tipping, studying, as his eyes look back widened and confused.

“Lucy, you’re being weird now.”

“You are handsome. I’d always wondered if you were.”

Heat flood his cheeks. “Um, thank you?”

“Since we’re stuck with each other, might as well make the most of it.”

“O—okay...”

Lucy giggles at his innocence and confusion. She pulls his face down and places a kiss on his lips. ‘Oooh, their soft!’ When she pulls away, Natsu still looks completely shocked. Guess it was understandable considering how long ago it must have been since he’s kissed a girl. She giggles again. “I’m really happy you’re here with me Natsu.”

“I mean, so am I Lucy, but what’s with the kiss?”

“Just checking...” her eyes flit lower for a second, “...which parts of your body still work.”

“What... par— oh, oh! That one still works, yes, why?”

“How do you know for sure?”

[akechicrimes]

You have the best takes and I was wondering what an actual Akechi redemption would look like? Sending him to prison is a weird take I've seen considering the themes of power, corruption, and manipulation of youth, and quite frankly it's just boring and lazy from a plot/character standpoint. I imagine the first step would be talking to Futaba and Haru (and others who were affected by his actions) but I'm not sure what would happen after that.

ok firstly THANKS i do my best yellin into the tunglr void

second “Sending him to prison is a weird take I’ve seen considering the themes of power, corruption, and manipulation of youth, and quite frankly it’s just boring and lazy from a plot/character standpoint” is the SEXIEST sentence ive ever read re: goro and thank you for putting these words in this particular order i want it framed, truly it makes zero sense whatsoever

third thanks for this super duper cool question because weirdly enough i havent…………….. really thought about it before??? ive seen more than a few really interesting goro redemption arc fics but if i were gonna do one myself………………….. hmmmmmm

ok ok ok ok ok ok i will. do my best. big psuedo revisionist fanfic under cut

a redemption arc needs to address the wrongs and hurts that he’s done, as well as just generally other noxious junk. to rattle them off so we know what we’re working with, he

killed wakaba (unknown circumstances), which hurt futaba

killed okumura, which hurt haru

assisted shido in his rise to power

assisted an unknown number of other douchebags like shido in their rise to power

killed an unknown number of other douchebags

created psychotic breakdowns, involving casualties and potentially some deaths

was generally a shit on live television

lied to sae.

betrayed joker.

and from there he needs to address these in such a way that his character grows and is better for it.

simultaneously i think it’s important to weigh the opposite issues, which are the ways that akechi is either right or has a valid point, the ways that akechi has presumably been mistreated/abused by people around him, and just generally following through on seeing akechi become happier and healthier for having gone through a redemption arc. in no particular order, he:

apparently desperately craves approval/recognition from others, but not in a productive way (sorry the TV audience does not actually love you lmao!!!!!!!)

has some kind of complicated relationship with shido to say the fuckign LEAST, and i think addressing that angle of shido’s abuse is important

really suffers from his inability to be honest with just about anyone; how deeply he’s hidden his true self has not only exacerbated his loneliness, but it’s done so in a way that i think should be really understandable to any one of the thieves, who also need to hide their true selves and feelings when in public

is 100000% correct about how much shido should eat shit and die

does have a valid point about how dangerous the phantom thieves are, and, in irony of all ironies, probably is a good critic and moral barometer to make sure joker doesn’t go over any lines

is canonically the character who is most unafraid to go against joker’s orders

is smart all absolute FUCK while maintaining an attitude of FUCK COPS

so with all that in mind:

i’d say, the engine room confrontation happens as SOON as they enter shido’s palace. not necessarily specifically in the engine room, but that confrontation happens off the bat. the phantom thieves take two steps into shido’s palace and find that they can’t go anywhere–everything’s locked, or off limits, and the whole place is under more surveillance than any palace they’ve ever seen. sojiro was right when he said that shido’s paranoid as fuck.

they try to leave the palace for the day to regroup, and akechi’s there like a guard dog ready to defend shido’s psyche. why wouldn’t he be? he must have planned that perhaps the thieves would retaliate like this, whether or not joker was alive.

that whole very embarrassing breakdown happens. haru and futaba already canonically seem in favor of akechi rejoining the team, so although haru does say she won’t forgive akechi, i do think that doesn’t need to be at odds with them being in favor of him working with the team.

so, say, akechi’s on the verge of being convinced to work with the team, and he’s not necessarily all in on this whole “being alive” thing, and he’s not super convinced that he deserves redemption, but the phantom thieves really really really insisted, because the phantom thieves can and do change hearts, even when they’re not in palaces, and they’ve just changed akechi’s. 

cognitive akechi doesn’t show up because i’m using him later.

first thing: akechi, haru, and futaba need to have a talk, which is actually pretty easy and not even irrelevant. go through shido’s palace, get the letters of rec, everyone recognizes akechi. like haru in okumura’s palace, akechi’s practically their ticket into half the ship.

getting the letters of rec naturally brings up okumura and wakaba, imo, because it hammers home that these sorts of scumbags are the kinds of people that akechi was killing. and also that this is the kind of scumbag that okumura was, in life. have haru go through the five stages of grief all over again, like she did back in okumura’s palace, realizing that her father kills his own employees for the first time. have her struggle all over again to reconcile the father she loves with the father who died with the father who murdered and exploited and drove his employees to the brink of death. have akechi face that even the people he killed were people, too.

depending on your interpretation of wakaba, she was either just as corrupt OR she was genuinely a nice woman, but that can be addressed in a bunch of ways–akechi didnt know what he was doing at the time, or he totally did but didnt feel like he had any other choice–either way, some sort of contextualization of wakaba’s role in shido’s conspiracy needs to be unearthed. 

say futaba wants to know what her mother was like. say she asks akechi because akechi knew her, maybe knew wakaba better than futaba ever did, because futaba was young and also because futaba never spent a few days literally crawling through her mother’s psyche like akechi did. make akechi tell futaba about the woman he killed with his own mouth. maybe he tells her only the good parts. maybe futaba MAKES him tell her the bad parts. maybe futaba thanks him for it, and akechi figures out that an apology could never be enough.

the point, basically, is to use shido’s palace to have haru, futaba, and akechi come to terms with each other. forgiveness isnt necessarily the point–understanding is more important. haru and futaba come to understand how and why akechi did what he did, while akechi has to sit through several weeks of looking his victims in the eyeballs.

for extra bonus points of making akechi look his victims in the eyeballs, personally i think that futaba would be the most supportive of all the phantom thieves of akechi turning over a new leaf. she canonically tells him that “it doesn’t matter where you start over” and relates his struggles to her struggle to turn her own life around, and honestly i think sympathy would fuck akechi up the most.

meanwhile, in the real world, capitalize on akechi’s position: if he’s deep in shido’s conspiracy, it really only makes sense that akechi could locate the people they need rec letters from in the real world, and use that to find their cognitive equivalent in shido’s palace. show me akechi’s relationship with shido, founded on akechi trying to appease shido and trying to avoid shido’s wrath simultaneously. 

maybe shido’s closing in on the phantom thieves in the real world. he suspects that things haven’t gone according to plan. make use of the fact that shido trusts (to an extent) akechi’s word, and have akechi cover for the phantom thieves in the real world. 

maybe show me shido actively manipulating akechi with praise. show me the greys of that relationship, like how we saw madarame treat yusuke well, or saw sae at her best and worst with makoto. show me how difficult it is for akechi to continue to help the phantom thieves even while actively engaging with his own abuser.

make akechi a traitor to shido. being a traitor was his role, wasn’t it? to betray the thieves? just have him betray shido back. he’s good at being a traitor, isn’t he? akechi probably volunteers himself for the role. let him capitalize on his ability to lie and outsmart those around him. let him make it up to joker in the only way that akechi feels he can: even more lying.

get all the rec letters. akechi himself hands shido the calling card. confront shido–cognitive akechi is there and just as much of a bitch as always. show me how much disdain shido has for akechi, how little he thinks of akechi, how nasty he is–and how blindly adoring cognitive akechi is in return. it’s gross as all hell, but it’s a final nail in the coffin to haru and futaba’s grieving process, even forms some sort of solidarity. 

there’s half a second where akechi is in the position to kill shido. shido’s shadow is down, akechi’s got a gun, he could pull the trigger before anyone could stop him. futaba tells him not to. 

haru tells him that he can kill shido if he wants to.

everyone’s like HARU??? HELLO???? but haru says, as far as i’m concerned, this man is just as much my father’s murderer as akechi-kun is. if you want to, i won’t stop you. but i know that it’s harder to survive than it is to die, too.

akechi does not kill shido. they steal shido’s treasure and return to the real world.

at this point in the canon plot, yaldabaoth starts to happen really fast, but bear with me for five seconds–bring sae back on the scene. shido confesses, and akechi’s reputation goes up in smoke. people call him a fraud, people won’t stop talking about shido being his dad, akechi’s name gets dragged through the mud worse than back when the PT were at their most popular.

sae takes up prosecuting shido’s case, and akechi can’t avoid her forever when he’s supposedly a key witness. sae says, i’m going to give you one chance to explain yourself. you lied to him, you tricked me, you pretended to be my partner all that time and then ran rings around me. talk.

so akechi explains himself, even though half that stuff isnt permissible in court. he doesn’t butter her up and he doesn’t use his cutesy prince mask, and for the first time sae sees him as he really is. and sae says, those are some pretty serious offenses, akechi, what are you going to do now? 

akechi’s just gone through that whole bonding session with haru and futaba, during which akechi had to realize, ah, shit, i fucked over the lives of these two very nice girls and even inflicted the same trauma that i myself went through onto other people. so akechi tells sae, well obviously i don’t fucking know, i dont have a career, i might be expelled, and i’ve killed a shitload of people and there’s no way that i can make up for that. but if i could, i would want to do something to right the wrongs that i did–i’d want to address the murders i committed, and maybe do something to fix it.

sae says, you’re smart as all hell, what you’ve done is irrevocable, you know your way around the police and its corruption, you’re willing to do better and you know how hard doing better is going to be. i’m the same way. i might not have killed anyone, but i’ve ruined the lives of so many people in the name of my career and a distorted sense of justice. if you want to do better, i could use a person like you. what do you say that when this case is over, we become partners for real, this time?

akechi says, but sae-san, what about your reputation, what about your career, wouldn’t it be bad to have a fraud like me by your side?

sae says, i didnt have you as a partner the first time around because you were stupid. use your head, make it work, and maybe i’ll buy you sushi off the conveyor belt someday.

case number one is prosecuting the shit out of shido. sae said they’d be partners after akechi is no longer a key witness, but at this point, being a key witness is basically like being her assistant. sae’s there every step of the way while akechi gets shoved through the public wringer. i say, make him lose all his public fame and reputation and more, everything that he thought he wanted, and he come out with sae’s respect, akira’s support, and the phantom thieves on his side.

the trial starts to stall because of yaldabaoth’s influence, which then brings us to that whole reveal about yaldabaoth using akechi as well for yaldo’s own ends. yaldabaoth offers the p5 vanilla bad end, in which the phantom thieves continue on and become incredibly famous and eliminate most crime because they just change the hearts of anyone who does anything halfway wrong.

i say, let the thieves deliberate on that one. all of them, not just joker. it’s not actually a very bad deal, necessarily; it’s just vaguely skeevy and authoritarian. let’s say, akechi is the biggest opposer, and points out that if akira goes down that route, akira will be doing exactly the same thing akechi did for so long–using his power for his own self-satisfaction, power unchecked and out of control. let akechi use the fact that he’s akira’s “rival” and outspoken critic to good use. akira tells yaldo where he can stick it.

fight yaldabaoth, win. sae takes akira into custody. akechi makes good on his deal with sae, and both of them work together to use akechi’s testimony, akira’s testimony, and shido’s testimony to nail shido and clear akira’s name. 

from there, flash forward to the epilogue in the same way that it happens in canon, except akechi is now sae’s lackey and she’s overseeing his efforts to undo whatever damage he did to all the nameless people he’s hurt over the years. she’s going to become a defense attorney, and akechi’s probably going to become her assistant and later paralegal. both of them are committed to reforming the justice system for the better and addressing their past wrongs.

im actually big fucking mad at how little i had to change about persona 5 canon to make this redemption arc work. @ persona 5 royal meet me in the pit.

[blitzbee-and-gt]

gd waiting for the next chapter of Data Corruption is KILLING me so uuuhhhh since it’s gonna be a short fic why don’t I just do a liveblog of the first three chapters now and then later I can either do the last four all at once or maybe 2 and 2 depending on how long they are/how much I have to say

Chapter 1

“Oh, right, let me just not think for a second,” Bumblebee spat. “That’s an easy thing to do.”

“You certainly managed it when you climbed those suspension cables,” Prowl muttered snidely.

I’m glad there’s a character in the fic making the same snarky comments that I am here irl

“The metaphysical properties of crystals on the human psyche are stronger than you may think,” Prowl said loftily.

y’all’re uuuhhh Not human though. that said, wouldn’t it actually be a lot more likely that crystals would do something given that they are mechanical beings? I’m thinking way too much about this sdhfgshgfj

Maybe if I pretend to die—

sgdfshdfgsjdfhk BEE NO

 is this some kind of stupid inside joke??? i’m missing a chunk of my damn memory and you’re gonna joke with me???? whoever you are, youre a fragging jerk. tell me your name!!!!

The ellipsis appeared for a moment before abruptly ceasing. They remained gone for the longest moment of Bumblebee’s life, returning for barely a second before another message appeared.

 Don’t tell anyone about this. I’ll find a way to fix it, love.

tunglr don’t seem to care much for the different font so I’ll just. italicize the texts. anyway Damn this hurts so good, I love this trope so much

_______________________________________________________________

Chapter 2

the entire Blitzwing POV section is SO GOOD AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

For Bumblebee’s sake, Blitzwing was tempted to delete all of his own memories

hey I know this is obviously an AU but it’s WILD to me that apparently he could just erase his own memory whenever he wanted to. like does he just mean that he has access to some Decepticon device or EMP generator like what happened with Arcee or is that just something all Cybertronians can do in this universe

This could all be an elaborate prank, or some kind of convoluted life lesson from Ratchet, or a Decepticon trick that would inevitably end his life.

:^) This Is Fine

There’s a small wooded island just east of Peche Island. Midnight.

hey Blitzy? Buddy? mayhaps thou shouldst try a bit harder to convince him that you’re trustworthy before meeting him in the middle of nowhere at midnight? like, just mention something no one else would know or at LEAST something Bee’d never tell Blitzwing unless they were super close. 

He choked and spluttered on rainwater as another message flew into his inbox. Something about the words felt so familiar, too familiar, and it made Bumblebee’s spark flutter with the same uncomfortable sensation he’d been feeling all day.

 I would never hurt you. If you remember nothing else, please remember that.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

________________________________________________________________

Chapter 3

Thump. Bumblebee took a step back, staggering slightly, realization dawning on him as he realized what the noise sounded like—footsteps. Heavy, slow, purposeful footsteps, from something big.

Slowly, Bumblebee shifted his gaze up.

His entire frame seemed to lock as his optics latched on two pinpricks of scarlet amongst the treetops, glowing so brightly that the dark, wet leaves around them seemed to be on fire.

the whole reveal is So Fucking Delicious, thank u suna

“Stay away from me!” he shrieked at the mech he knew as Blitzwing, scrabbling to his feet and loading his weapons with as much electricity as they could handle. “Stay away from me!”

THIS IS GOING JUST AS POORLY AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BUT GD IT HURTS SO MUCH

“This—” Blitzwing said, gesturing between himself and Bumblebee. “We— started in early April.

WHAT is the deal with April

“How about you shut up and listen to me?” Blitzwing bellowed, practically spitting flames from behind his visor. “I’m trying to help you, you incessant chatterbug! Just try to remember something, stop screaming, and listen to what I’m saying! I lo—”

“Get away from me!” Bumblebee said, firing his stingers a few more times, trembling with wicked glee as the bolts collided with a crack against Blitzwing’s helm. “Never talk to me again, you sicko! If there’s one thing I know, it’s that I would never, ever let someone as—as terrible as you call me ’love!’”

G-D I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

Who's skye harper?

Ohhhh boy. Oh anon, oh bub. You’ve opened the Floodgates™️ now. (Ramble all about Skye incoming since she literally only has 6 issues in the entirety of DC history for us to parse through but MAN) (also disclaimer I’m formatting this on mobile but feel it’s Important for everyone to read to learn abt Skye. So no cut (since tunglr h*cks that up usually) just a “#long post” and “#dod spoilers” if y’all wanna block this on your dash)

Warning: Spoilers for Raven: Daughter of Darkness below!

So what drives the plot of the second half of DoD are the Shadowriders and Baron Winters trying to form a new Night Force against them. Skye is one of these young heroes he tries to recruit. Never heard of her? Me neither, until this! She’s literally made for this miniseries and this alone bc... well we’ll see why later

She’s asked by the Baron to join, and says she’ll think on it. This is end of issue #7. By end of issue 8 a WHOLE lotta sh*t hit the fan and Skye swoops in just in time...

To Try™️. Her Best™️. RIP Skye. I love you and you TRIED at least 😂😂😂 (shes not dead tho... yet)

Some less plot relevant stuff real quick but I feel they’re important to point out since they’re some of the small glimpses of personality we have to gain:

She’s a Voice of reason when tensions are running high and the team is all to new to each other

And she’s at ease around new people and more quick to relax/be playful near them. (Zach And Traci are just opposite sitting in chairs and bickering, as opposed to where Skye sits on the floor here, crisscross applesauce, playing with Teekl like a lil kid MY HEART IS FULL SKYE I LOVE YOU)

Back to Plot Stuff tho: Winters sends Raven off to rescue Black Alice. This backfired initially bc Alice just steals Raes powers to escape, leaving Rae to Almost Die. It’s revealed around this time that Skye has Information about the Shadowriders that Winters wants to use. Before they can dive too deep into what that means, however, Alice comes back to steal Skye away and deliver her to the Shadowriders.

Then we get this little Plottwist while Skye’s being??? Intimidated? By the riders? (Idk. They’re freaking her out n everything but it’s p clear they don’t want to actually harm her bc:

Yeah. She’s One Of Them (🎶dun dUN DUUUUUN🎶)

Alice tells this to the team as well and joins up, they decide to rescue Skye regardless and possibly ask Her what’s up. Defeat the riders w/out hurting their (teammate? Friend? Peer? Yknow actually. It’s a Shame we only got a mini and not a more fully developed/explored plot. Huh. Almost like this has the potential to be stretched out as a whole on-going arc of a comic or a season-long arc of a tv series hmm. Interesting.) (yes I’m bitter as FUCK)

So Raven rescues her while the others distract the riders. They keep her safe, but she’s been hurt/exhausted and this leads to near climatic battle with the riders where Skye makes a bold decision:

G O D I love this like??? Ravens whole THING is giving strength by taking away others pain and suffering. But alices whole Thing is taking strength regardless. In a way, looking back on this, their powers basically tore Skye apart. (But she was Ready to make that sacrifice, to make a decision to help save the day)

(This is a fake-Out at the beginning of issue 12, since Marv wanted to give me HOPE AND THEN TAKE IT AWAY A SECOND GOTDAMN TIME)

It’s a Lot so I won’t post the page in full Here. (And also y’all should read DoD anyways, the first 5 issues are up on the DCU app and I believe the trade with the 2nd half is gonna be hitting shops soon)

Skye Harper, like many one-off characters, was made to die. Given a vague powerset, some major but underexplored plot relevancy, and what little personality to starkly contrast against the majority cast, she may be forgettable to some. And that’s totally understandable. But I loved what little we saw of her, and I’d love to take a crack at exploring & developing her beyond this tidbit that we were given.

[necroarchy]

What are your thoughts on calia and her death other than "lightforged undead is stupid"? Also how do you think this bastard man you play would react to the situation? (Other than "lightforged undead are stupid", im guessing. also a "People Who Aren't Me Aren't Allowed To Kill My Family. Especially People Who Are Also Sylvanas")

     A lot of my feelings are soured by how uneasy I am that Calia’s sudden narrative prominence and undeath are indicators of her eventually replacing Sylvanas as the queen of the Forsaken, and precisely how stupid I feel lightforged undead are. Sylvanas is probably the most fascinating, complex, and beautiful female character Blizzard has ever created, and the fact that she’s getting Old Yeller’d like this is terrible. Calia seems like the replacement goldfish, and it just kind of leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth, yanno? 

     But, anyways. Canon sucks, which is why we create our own here on tunglr dot hell.

     I wish that we had had more of a chance to know Calia while she was alive, beyond being a Netherlight NPC that you would never see if you aren’t a priest. There was a lot of potential there worth exploring! What’s it like, being the last Menethil? What compelled her to heed the call of the Light and become a priestess, despite her paladin brother’s famous fall? How does greater Azeroth react to her continued existence? For how long has she been mulling over taking back the throne of Lordaeron, particularly when one of her Netherlight quotes is “It’s just Calia now. Lordaeron is gone.”? I have a lot of questions!!!!

     I also kinda wish that her death and resurrection had been an in-game event, not a novel event, but I’ve ranted that grievance before. WoW is a video game; the main narrative should be in the game, and it’s getting both old and actively harmful that Blizz puts all the important / Good narrative in supplementary materials. 

     BUT. But. There’s a lot of fun to be had with another undeath Menethil, and the horrific political ramifications it should have. Anduin and Genn might still trust and care for her because they were right there for the transformation, but everyone else???? Everyone who saw and knew him???? Y’all are really gonna put your trust in a dead Menethil, huh, y’all are really doing this, we’re really gonna have this problem AGAIN????

     People would react so badly to this, I feel, and that could be such a compelling narrative. How different from Arthas is Calia, really? How can we trust the sister when the brother burned us so badly? Particularly when she ( gasp!! ) has ambitions and goals and isn’t content to simply cower in the shadow of his corpse for the rest of her life. One way or another, she would have to confront and navigate through these preconceptions in order to achieve and acquire all that she wants from her new unlife. 

     Calia’s conflict could be a nice parallel to Sylvanas’ - the both of them having to deal with the question of how different are they from Arthas? Where is the line between him and them? My dream conclusion is that they both realize they’re not him, they’re nothing like him, and they bond over it! Then the Forsaken get TWO queens for the price of one, and everyone lives happily ever after.

     This will never happen, but I am a fool of hope. 

     ARTHAS’ RESPONSE TO ALL OF THIS would be play on his usual coping method with grief, which is to become especially snide and acerbic when confronted with the subject of his discontent. He wouldn’t like what Calia has become, because she’s not his, she’s not a creature of his at all and it’s uncomfortable for a man as narcissistic and possessive as him. That she died - fine. That’s her fault for being so weak as to perish. Shoulda leveled up more, sis, before going into a PvP zone. But for them to turn her into this… thing… that is as far from him as the stars and the moon… It’s insult elevated to an art form. There aren’t words for how deeply he hates what she is now. 

     And thus does he leap from the unusual and uncomfortable sensation of grief to the more familiar and soothing burn of murderous fury.

Ooo 39 and 60 for Emma, Sandy, Garth and Coral!

Oooo, I never get asks for my NG ocs! !!!!

39: What would be your character’s niche on Tumblr?

Emma: probably just has one of those celebrity blogs that they make just for those tumblr asks that she never uses again because she has a life outside of the internet (HA)

Sandy: Runs a couple different art blogs, one for their original works, one for Percy Jackson fanart, and one for promoting and critiquing other’s art. Also follows a lot of blogs that talk about gender (trans/nonbinary/genderfluid) to better understand themselves and help others understand themselves.

Garth: This poor boy runs a lighthearted MCU (among other things) fanblog and is constantly trying to avoid being dragged into every little bit of drama because people regard him as a sort of authority because of his eloquent way of speaking (thanks a lot dad)

Coral: She’s on there mostly to follow Garth and Sandy’s blogs so she can leave comments like “THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!” or “You look beautiful today, love you!

60: If you could title your character’s life, what would you title it?

Emma: Well, I kind of already named it “Fire and Lightning”. haha.

Sandy: Ready to Fly (I know they can’t fly, but it’s based on a song I centered a fic I wrote about them around)

Garth:  Flower Crown Bruises (don’t ask me why....becuz idk)

Coral: ME! (because she’s basically the embodiment of that TSwift song.

I am. So tired. Of the beach. “It must be nice to live by the beach, the ocean’s so beautiful.” Imagine a good tv show that you like. Pick a few episodes of that show. Now watch that show everyday in summer for years because your parents can’t really afford to drive an hour away just to entertain you and you only have one friend that invites you to their house and your town has the entertainment value of a blank wall you aren’t allowed to draw on so you go.

Nothing special.

73: how old will you be in 5 months?

Just plain ol’ sixteen. The same age I am now.

77: are you friends with the people you were friends withtwo years ago?

No.

79: is there anyone you know with the name mike?

I,, do not think so.

80: have you ever fallen asleep in someones arms?

Probably?? I have been a baby you know I’ve probably been rocked to sleep or something.

81: how many people have you liked in the past three months?

I’m going to assume this is romantically so none. Unromantically? Lots.

82: has anyone seen you in your underwear in the last 3days?

Yes? I live with my family sometimes I’ll be changing and someone will barge into my room and I’ll say get out and they will it happens often???

83: will you talk to the person you like tonight?

You know it’d be so much easier if they replaced like with “have feelings for” then I wouldn’t get so confused.

84: you’re drunk and yelling at hot guys/girls out of yourcar window, you’re with?

Is this a question? First of all me being drunk is barely a scenario, me being drunk in a car is definitely not happening even if I’m not driving, and me catcalling people would never ever happen.

86: what was the most eventful thing that happened last timeyou went to see a movie?

Nothing we sat and enjoyed the movie.

87: who was your last received call from?

My dad.

88: if someone gave you $1,000 to burn a butterfly over acandle, would you?

Um depends on what type of butterfly. One thousand dollars is one thousand dollars but I would never kill an endangered species or a rare one.

Ok dude. I hace yo salty a little more. About shipping and fandom and tunglr dot com.

… remember atla? Yeah. I love atla. That shit is old as ball if I think. Like ten years or something. Wow. I am old as balls. Well. The point.

When i was in atla fandom, we fucking hate eachother guts and take eachother eyes out about ships. Zutara or kataang. We hate to death the other ship. Oh God. Don’t make me talk about ship wars. These were stupid. And even stupider when u hated a xharcter cause she (u always hate girls) gets in your otp. Or then u shipped some rare pair like soko and invented other ships to take away the main ship and anything stops u. Or even if u crackshipped something like, idk, tyru, or jetmai. Wild times. Yes

We constantly trashed eachother ships.

But the tras was always OH YOUR SHIP IS TRASH. THEIR DYNAMIC IS TRASH. I LIKE A LOT MORE THIS DYNAMIC, IN MY SHIP. YOUR CHARACTER SUCK. WHY? BECAUSE!

And even if you ship, idk, firecest? Iroph? Well, you can. Of course people is gonna trash you, we eat eachother in ship wars. That was part of the game. The war.

But. In the constant war anyone, never, get as a point against u “that is inc/est. Ped/op. A//buse and you should feel ashamed!” even if the ships where, indeed, one of these. Why? Because. These stuff weren’t real things so. We are trashing eachother anyway, we are being already “problematic”

We also made “problematic” the things that aren’t. With our favorite ships. Why? Because. Dark fics where totally a thing. Oh God. The explotation of these innmoral stuff, in fiction. Because sometimes reading fucked up stuff is fun. Because How great that is not happening in realty! And we can read about it anyway!

“BOYxBOY!” “LEMON!” “DON’T LIKE DON’T READ!” “WARNING IF YOU DON’T LIKE R/APE/GURO GET AWAY!” “IF YOU JUST WANT TO TRASH ABOUT THE PAIR DON’T EVEN READ I DON’T FORCE YOU, YOU CAN CLOSE THE WINDOW!”

Savage times didn’t these? We usually just avoid what we don’t like. For the reason it was. You don’t like the ship, you have an issue with the content, you think the person was making ooc. You or either flame as part of the war, or get away. You don’t point the author screaming PROBLEMATIC. EVERYONE HATE EM. THEY ARE ASSHOLES FOR LIKING INMORAL STUFF IN THEIR FICTION THAT SURE RA/PE LITTLE CHILD’S. Nah. We just leave a foment saying “your fic sucks, the character would never be in love with em” and we get as an answer “fuck you, why you read it? This otp is the best”

The fandom was savage. The ship wars were salvage. But at the end of the day, either you talked (not about the ships) with the person’s in the other “side” as friends. Or you ignore completely the asshole who you don’t like.

I absolutely will come back to ship wars, I will fight against the antis, with the nasties, if at the end of the day, these imbecile persons don’t give an artis a coockie with needles. Don’t acuse a writer of “"abu/se apologist”, don’t tell them to kill themselves because they /ship/ the wrong ship. …..

That’s all. Frey’s out.
