All of this "do you have a hobby outside of consuming media" "who are you when you're not consuming media" "all you do is consume media" shit is making me lose my precious faith in humanity.

Like REALLY?? CONSUMING MEDIA??? Is that what we're calling watching shows and reading books and looking at art and listening to podcasts???? consuming media??? CONSUMING MEDIA??? That's all it is to you???? It's almost as bad as using the term 'content creator' instead of ARTIST.

You've taken an essential, beautiful, soul-healing part of the human experience and had the AUDACITY to not only strip it of its life and form and substance, but also attach SHAME and GUILT to it as well???? Please stop my heart can't take this.

I mean, of course it's important to have physical hobbies and creative outlets as well as relaxing ones. This is a very good and healthy thing! But how about we promote how much fun our creative and physical hobbies are instead of SHAMING PEOPLE for the crimes of "watching too many videos" or 'reading too many stories."

Yes, even online videos and stories. Be it fanfic or novel, cult classic film or comedy YouTuber, online digital art or Mary Cassatt, art is fucking art. That's that. And we shouldn't be shaming people for experiencing it. And for the love of humanity, we definitely shouldn't be taking a something as magical as experiencing art and calling it something as soulless as fucking. consuming media.

For another request, can you have Aizawa in his hero uniform but using his capture cloth to gag himself while Present Mic teases him about it please?

Aizawa's scarf is very useful outside of hero work as well hehe

none of the pearl-clutchers have ever had a nuanced conversation in their lives, huh?

there's a time and a place for vulnerability and opening up about trauma and a time for something more fun and lighthearted, and a dinner date over glasses of wine is not the former

these are two grown men exploring their dynamic - if Buck was uncomfortable, he would've said so. he's not the poor, helpless damsel in distress some of y'all seem to think he is, being led astray by the mean and nasty gay man

rack up a little life experience and touch some grass before you sink too deeply into the purity culture

la mer

Rating: M Wordcount: 761 Genre: Angst/Romance Relationship: Armin/Eren Summary: It's never been about Eren so much as it is about saying goodbye, to the boy he once was and the man that's killed him, Armin cannot tell the two apart.

a/n: Written on a whim after seeing the movie.

The waves taste of iron as does Eren's trembling mouth.

Armin's hand on his cheek shifts, cupping his nape, the burns still fresh and bleeding gently. Eren does not flinch at the touch, or when Armin leans in. He doesn't pull away. His slender fingers wind through his hair and draw a fist.

He's unprepared to die. Hesitstion leeches from him, poisoning Armin's resolve until he leans against his body if only to close the space. He smells the same as he did a long time ago. Armin's mouth works along his neck and collarbone and sternum, pulling noises from Eren he has only heard in dreams.

There's no time to think about anything.

When he bends to mouth along the tent in his trousers Eren lays a hand along his neck neither forceful nor sure. He raises his hips as Armin takes him out and bends to tongue his erection.

He tastes like copper and salt. All Armin can visualize is that bright day across the horizon three years ago. The thrill of a world beyond their island and the inevitable burden of that knowledge. Enemies and the obstacle between their annihilation.

Armin takes him to the root and gags and resurfaces. Eren stares at him in a way he hasn't in years.

Fifteen, or was it sixteen. A few drinks they'd stolen from the bonfire. Fooling around behind the sheds never amounted to much of consequence, despite having a few opportunities to act further. Eren still had Mikasa, and Armin consoled himself once with some other boy that's been dead since the Shiganshina Operation.

Without a word, Armin unbuckles his ODM belts with trembling fingers and rucks down his own trousers and moves to straddle him. The water laps at his skin, inundates their clothes. Their eyes lock and Armin lowers himself without a word. He bites back a groan as Eren's hands settle on his waist.

All of this blood and ash between them, inescapable at their most vulnerable moment. An interstice between lived experience and this cloudless void where time cannot reach them.

Eren's head cranes back but the water never engulfs him completely. He floats as though dead as Armin starts to move in short, shaky thrusts that burn no worse than losing a limb. Regrowing skin that's been singed clean off. He's survived worse and he will live to do it again. Eren can only see fit to martyr himself.

He lays a hand along Eren's sternum, searching for a key that he hasn't worn since he was fifteen.

Eren doesn't stir, but his eyes flicker up to look at him. His chest rises and falls in uneven bursts. Blood and sweat mat his unwashed hair. He chews his lip, hips jerking in tiny thrusts that can't keep up with Armin's deliberate pace. He's as reckless as his words were only a few moments ago. His grip on Armin's waist will leave a bruise. A memento that will invariably steam away or simply fade.

Armin looks at him and sees only a cadaver. He buries his face in his shirt, moving faster. Eren grunts, cupping his ass and the downy nape of his neck where his burns have begun bleeding into his shirt. Droplets hit his face and steam away.

"I'm here," he groans, sitting up and pulling him closer, "I got you."

Armin moves faster in the hopes that this will stop this conversation. Precome stains his stomach. Eren pushes as deep as his body will permit, grunting against his neck, slowly ebbing into whimpers with each slap of his hips against his ass.

Seawater and blood swallow them up at the knees. Their rhythm stammers as Eren rears up and bites down on a shoulder that's broader than it used to be. Armin shouts, emptying himself between their stomachs as Eren throbs inside of him, slumping across his body as if he's just been shot.

Warm water laps at his ears and skin. Armin clings to him like driftwood, unable to move even if his life depended on it. His hand cups Eren at the nape, the other sifting through the tide in search of the conch. He finds individual teeth. Clumps of hair wash up on his fingers and are soon discarded, scattering to be lost forever.

If the Paths have any semblance of dignity, he'll get to keep his clothes. It's never been about Eren so much as it is about saying goodbye, to the boy he once was and the man that's killed him, Armin cannot tell the two apart.

Hi uhh i have a question i was scrolling at ao3 and i keep seeing pompous pep fiction a lot but i thought it was illegal because there is at least 20 year age gap im getting confused

AO3 is a creative writing/fanfiction archive that allows anything that's legal under US creative writing law. There are some limitations, like scripting out an episode of DP would not be allowed because that's copyright infringement, and posting something disguised as a fic that's not actually one (say, posting your headcanons list or your grandma's cookie recipe) isn't allowed because that's not a transformative work. But otherwise, people are allowed to post any fictional content that they so wish so long as it's tagged properly.

The tags are an awesome feature of the site and are why many people, myself included, choose to use AO3 as their main fanfiction domain. It allows you to opt in or opt out of any tag that you do or don't want to see. For example, I read/write a ton of gore, so I often filter in tags like "Dissection" (using the sidebar) so I can only see those types of fics. But there are tons of people who get squicked out by gore/dissection, so they might prefer to filter those tags out. Maybe they just wanna read a good smut fic, so they'd filter in that tag, while for me, I'm not so interested in that content, so I almost always filter it out before I browse.

I know this seems a bit long winded of me, but what I'm trying to get at is that because fanfiction is fictional, that means that ships and tags that you or I might argue are morally gray or even morally unethical are totally allowed on the site (aka no real children were harmed in the making of said fic, so not illegal). This includes Pompous Pep, which is Danny/Vlad. And if you don't want to see that, as many people probably don't, then the site makes it extremely easy to filter that stuff out! Woo!

The DP Phandom is a really really old phandom and we've had a history of "true vs anti" ship wars back in the 00's, which while a bit different than the kinds of shipping wars you see in other fandoms today, they still happened and were incredibly destructive within our spaces. People were fighting, there was lots of bullying, angry cliques, and overall moral policing "you can't sit with us" behavior to people who frankly didn't deserve it. There's not a lot of creatives left from that era, and the ones that did come back don't have a lot of positive things to say about it.

So yeah, maybe some people on AO3 write things that might squick you out, but from experience we've found it to be far more beneficial to just do our own things. Write the content you wanna write, read the content you wanna read, interact with the people you wanna interact with, and block/mute/filter out/whatever the rest. It's honestly not worth your mental health or sanity to try to police fics/art in here. We're too old, most of us got jobs, bills to pay, maybe even kids to feed, and it's honestly not worth our time. Besides, it's much more fun to participate in phandom events and nerd out with other creatives about silly AUs and tropes and geek out over art styles and colors than it is to worry about that stuff!

A few weeks ago I was looking at this scene in 3x08 for another post, where Erwin asks about who is injured and Hange lifts her hand. And immediately, this part of the song "Anti-Hero" came to my mind - so I had to make this little edit because it fits just perfectly 😂

Ok yes Beelzebub passed the 'would you still love me if I was a worm' test. But I'm actually more impressed that they saw Gabriel mooning over a statue of himself and still loved him after that

my bones may grow back crooked after they're broken, but they grow back stronger. and the amount of time you put into breaking me, will be reflected in my strength when I heal again
