#this is why i prefer ao3

[fictionalmenaremytype]

I swear reading fanfictions is so much harder than reading books because one day you're half way through a fic about percabeth as a detective and a world renound thief on wattpad and then three years later you try to find it and it doesn't exist.

could you tell me more about why you dislike femskk?

okay disclaimer before i begin: this is not meant to be a dig on every person who enjoys femskk. the biggest reason i don't like it is honestly because it's just not my cup of tea and honestly it really makes no difference to me if other people like it. but beyond that my biggest issues with it are

1. the phenomenon of fans "yuri-ifying" the most popular m/m ship and then using that to prove they like female characters and f/f ships. this is not a bsd-exclusive thing; it happens with stsg too and i don't like femstsg for the same reason. but there's a big difference between actually liking female characters and just genderbending (or even making transfem) the big m/m ship. i literally went to the f/f category in bsd on ao3 the other day looking for fics and about half of them are skk fics instead of fics about like. the actual female characters in bsd. who i was looking for fics of. similarly, there have been some redraw trends going around twitter - specifically the i prefer girls cover redraw - and i have seen. i don't even know how many femskk redraws of that (along with a couple femfyolais and a femrimlaine) but only one redraw with actual female characters from bsd. same with the scene 14 redraw that was going around, and while that one wasn't originally two female characters, i have still seen significantly more femskk (and femsigzai, femsigchuu, femfyolai, etc) than i have ships with even one character who is female in the source material.

and imo this phenomenon is made even worse in the bsd fandom bc so many fans just see bsd as the skk show. so of course they're writing off the actual female characters; they literally don't care about anything besides skk. and obviously i can't do anything to force anyone to care about other characters but like.... bsd has so many other wonderful characters and dynamics (both romantic and platonic) that a good half of the fanbase won't even glance at because they're not skk. i do like skk, but bsd is about so much more than just them. they are, objectively, only one small part of it. like if you only care about skk, then just be outright about it and don't pretend you're "proving" you like female characters and sapphic ships bc you like femskk too

2. of the fans who only like skk and nothing else about bsd, most of them. don't even characterize dazai and chuuya correctly? i think the some of the best skk characterizations i've seen have been from people who actually like other characters and ships too, and some of the worst skk characterization i've seen has come from people who literally don't care about any other ships or characters. this isn't a hard and fast rule obviously but even with 30k skk fics on ao3, i have struggled to find ones that actually feel true to their characters. and the characterization seems to only get worse when it's femskk. if you're just going to turn femdazai and femchuuya into two completely different people, what's the point in it even being skk? why not write k.ousano or h.igugin or even a ship with one canonically female character? if you have to change the core characteristics of both dazai and chuuya... do you even really like them?

3. about femdazai: i actually don't mind the transfem dazai headcanon in general but most fans get her wrong. i made a post about it here but basically so many times i see femdazais that are just. completely unrecognizable as dazai. you can't strip away core aspects of dazai like idk the fact that dazai doesn't show any skin from neck to toe just because you made her a girl. i have seen some femdazai that's good! but i have seen so much that is just fundamentally wrong for dazai's character as a whole. mostly on twitter.

4. about femchuuya: i really truly just don't get femchuuya. i THINK the hype here is probably bc lesbians seem to get attached to chuuya (which. valid. i am also a lesbian chuuya fan.) and so they want to draw a chuuya they can be attracted to (i.e. femchuuya) which like. cool whatever i'm not here to judge. but looking at it from a "would this character actually identify as female" perspective, i don't actually think i can picture that for chuuya. maybe it's just because i so strongly hc them as nonbinary? idk. this one is honestly just a neutral "i don't see that but you do you"

tl;dr: from what i've seen, femskk is often mischaracterized, and genderbending the big m/m ships in a fandom is often a way fans "prove" they like the female characters and f/f ships while not actually caring about anything other than their main m/m ship

Okay this post about choking got me thinking about Tim and Jay in Sorry, It's Locked again. Specifically about Jay's whole thing with choking (aka it being the thing he has tried/succeeded in forcing Tim/Alex to do to him in those moments where he's been very much not in the right headspace to be having sex in general, let alone kinky sex) and Tim's hesitance around it in general. He doesn't want to be physically rough with Jay, that's just not really his thing, so choking just isn't something he's into. He's happy to make Jay cry, 100%, but he's gonna do that with overstimulation, or by forcing Jay to accept praise or even praise himself, you know? Rather than smacking him or choking him like Jay wants/is used to.

Tim also just feels like the kind of person who knows the risks of choking and has a healthy amount of fear of being choked, or of choking someone else. I don't really know why I feel like he'd know this, maybe he had a hyperfixation of domestic abuse at one point in his life and that little fact about how if someone's partner tries to strangle them the likelihood of their partner murdering them at a later date goes way up made him go down a research rabbit hole about strangling and choking? Idk. For whatever reason, Tim knows a lot about choking/strangulation, so it's one of the things he's like, "yeah, no, that's on my list of things I'll never try, whether I'm giving of recieving it".

Obviously, Jay's got very different feelings about it, and honestly I think that for the most part that's because he doesn't understand the risks of it. I think he thinks he understands the risks, but his knowledge pretty much ends at "well if you do it wrong you could crush someone's windpipe" but he mostly thinks that if you make sure you don't do that, it's more or less safe. Jay's honestly kinda like that with a lot of kink things. He thinks he understands it, he thinks he's doing it right, but he's really not. He thought him and Alex were doing it right. He thought Alex knew what he was doing enough for both of them, then he learned off Alex, but he learned wrong. They both learned together and off each other, and they both learned wrong.

At some point I should probably have Tim realise just how little Jay actually understands kink, but especially choking, since there's a very big plot point that's gonna revolve around choking. It's gonna be the whole reason Tim and Jay go to Benedict hall separately and the whole reason Jay gets shot, you know? So if Tim realises Jay doesn't get choking and why he's scared of doing it, and then explains properly to Jay why it's never something he's gonna try, and then Jay still tries to get him to do it again? The same way he did to Alex in IIAB, the same way he did in chapter 5 of S,IL? That'd be a very valid reason for Tim to go "hey, no, I need some space okay, you can come to Benedict hall with me but stay the fuck away from me until I feel less like punching you in the stomach again."

I do think it'd be nice for them to figure out a compromise, though, something they can do that gives Jay that same woozy feeling the lack of oxygen from choking gives him, but without the choking.

Specifically I'm thinking of them just playing with the submission and control side of it, because that's a thing Tim does like in S,IL. He likes getting Jay to do things for him without him having to 'force' him to (and yeah here and there he does like being able to pin Jay down and 'make him take it' like with their first little foray into shower sex, Jay wanted Tim to stop him from being able to wiggle away when it got 'too much'). So like, the submission and control side of it, with Tim just telling Jay to hold his breath, asking jay to hold his breath, making Jay want to please him and be good by holding his breath himself is something I think Tim would be open to and then enjoy quite a lot. Because that way Jay can just, y'know, breathe if he really needs to, but he'll still get the feeling good of Tim praising him for holding his breath for him if he can hold it as long as Tim wants him to, like "I don't even need to touch you, you're such a good girl that you'll stop yourself from breathing if I ask you to, so eager to please me," and that sort of thing.

Maybe even they go down a sort of "swapping breath" kinda route? Only breathing in each others breaths, which obviously wouldn't be fully oxygen saturated after being breathed out. That'd be kinda cute because y'know, they'd be kissing at the same time, and it wouldn't be something Tim would be against as much because 1. Jay could just breathe through his nose or pull away at any time if he really needs to breathe, and 2. Tim would also be in the same oxygen deprivation boat, so he'd have a feeling for when they both really need to pull apart and breathe properly? Y'know?

Or maybe, if I wanna take it down the route of Tim stopping Jay's breath himself, Tim covering Jay's mouth with his hand and pinching his nose shut between his thumb and the side of his index finger (think I also wrote this in chapter 1 of S,IL? With Jay and Alex but I can't really remember. If I did tho it'd make sense, Alex giving Jay what he wants without revisiting the traumatic memory of the last time he choked Jay during sex (back in uni, chapter five of IIAB)). Still more risky than the other two, because Jay would have to tap out when he needs to breathe rather than just being able to, y'know, breathe whenever he wants to and only relying on his own willpower to keep himself from breathing. But I think Tim would be much more willing to do this than choking. It's still risky, duh, anything that restricts oxygen is, but I think Tim would be more okay with this than choking (but he'd be even more okay with the other two, getting jay to hold his own breath, and only breathing each others breaths while kissing).

Also all I can think of now is the two of them laughing their asses off while they fuck, because Jay breathed out too hard and it made a farting noise against Tim's hand, and now they're both losing it so bad they have to pause before they continue because they can't stop laughing.

[the-game-spirit]

......i perhaps need to get more normal about isat if only because i am starting to run out of content

[batcavescolony]

The pain of finding a fic with the concept you've been yearning for. You've finally found it, it's the only one in the fandom like it... But that fics main paring is a ship you HATE with a burning passion 😭

[youchangedmedestiel]

I happen to have a fic with two endings.

I can't choose the one I prefer. One ending has light angst and the other is funnier. And I just... can't choose.

So I'll guess I'll post the fic with the two possible endings in different chapters and like that YOU can choose which one you prefer because I can't. It just gives you more content so I guess it's fine.

[hermitagereheadcanons]

this isn't an ask or a request, but I hope you could still post it, because since I found this account the wave of love for this fandom crushed me yet again

not to disclose who I am too much, but here's a fact: I was dealing with pre schoolers as a part of my education(or, well, practice). around the same time I discovered the wonderful world of hermitcraft age regress fics. I myself don't regress, but I find those works insanely comforting. anyways I mentioned my education because, while in fics the looking after might be Way to soft and all-allowing (that YES can be very bad even short term), most of the works show it really well. and not just comforting, but as if the authors know Very Well they are portraying not a parent figure per say, but a "cool uncle that looks after you" type character and I LOVE IT. maybe this says smth about my childhood, maybe it's the overwhelming feeling of love coming from a friendship, but still. kudos to everyone who writes age re in this fandom, I love you.

I still haven't explored the topic of age regression as a study (meaning: I haven't really looked up the real world instances), but I have a feeling that learning about this phenomena in psychology feelings-first from a fictional work was a good idea.

Your ask has actually reminded me why I love this blog. I've been a bit out of touch with the fandom lately, but the sense of community that comes from gathering around something so niche is really nice and I love hearing about it.

I'm glad this type of content can be comforting and enjoyable even if you don't regress!

Also, when I originally had the idea to start this blog, there was very little agere-related content in this fandom that didn't emphasize a parental, set-in-stone caregiver as a key feature. I'm happy to see so much more variety in how people portray it in relation to friends and partners.

I think one of the reasons I was never able to get into Y/N fics is because Y/N just never would really act like me

And that goes for everyone in general, like there's no way Y/N manages to represent the reactions of everyone reading the fic, everyone acts differently than one another (I'm aware this is kinda the point but still)

Also when an author puts Y/N there, like, "what do you think, Y/N?", I'm sorry, it just takes me out of the immersion. I just can't put my name there, for some reason
