#6172:

Lol.

"You'll get angry at someone for blocking you (because... free speech?)" <- This isn't proship rhetoric, this is asshole/hypocrite rhetoric.

"and in the same breath insult and attack random bystanders who happen to like a ship you don't" <- This isn't proship rhetoric, this is asshole/hypocrite rhetoric.

"And yet they insist "antis" (which is used interchangeablely for "terminally online discourse blogs" and for "just thinks glorified rape/abuse/incest/child porn is Generally Bad" which is insane btw) are the ones who are 100 percent irredeemable evil book burning suicide baiting monsters (which is funny considering how much harassment and suicide baiting ive gotten from them even when actively avoiding confrontation)." <- Yeah, calling for book burning whether in fandom or otherwise, and harassing people, is in fact the keystone of being an anti. If someone doesn't harass people and call for censorship of certain topics, be it in fandom or outside fandom, they're not an anti.

And shocker, there are assholes in every camp. This is like saying "but, but, left-leaning people still want to kill certain groups of people, they're so much worse than far-right people!". The difference is that one group's default ideology isn't steeped in sending death threats to people, Susan. If people in that group do send death threats, they're outliers, not a typical representation. Unlike how antis operate.

But I guess nuance and correct definitions are lost on some people.

2016 Year in Fics

I’m totally stealing the idea from @caseyvalhalla​ (minus all the stats because I have way too many little fics....also I might’ve cheated by copy/pasting them from my fic directory.....)

Total words for 2016:  144,768

This year’s top trends:

unfinished WIP that I keep saying I’ll update

not updating said WIP

a bazillion short fics

branching out with kinkfics and rarepairs and other fandoms

Goals for 2017:

get the ball rolling on this year’s fic writing

finish at least ONE of my WIP (probably Matters of Pride)

write more in other fandoms

write more.

Eternal thanks to:

@apiegohome​ (waifu!) and @nicayal​ for keeping me motivated all year long, listening to whatever nonsense happens to be coming out my mouth at any given moment...also for the figure skating AU (and especially nicayal for your wealth of figure skating knowledge) AND also for helping host @kh-worldsconnected​.

@princess-wasabi​ for always being enthusiastic about my writing, no matter what it is, and for providing me with so, so much art, ilusm my dear.  <3

@savaage-nymph​ and @keybaes​ for also spoiling me with art

@caseyvalhalla​ SEMPAI NOTICED ME!!  No, but seriously, chatting has been such a pleasure, and the solidarity of two non-traditional students has been very helpful these past couple months.  Also your input has been indispensable

many, many others who support my writing through tags, comments, replies, IMs, etc.  <3

PS:  putting the fic list under the cut because it got kinda long....

Matters of Pride (WIP) Rating: T Word Count: 16,113 Pairings: Sora/Riku Fantasy, modern AU Art/fic exchange with @savaage-nymph​ He’d never seen someone look so removed from their surroundings; sure, everybody lived in their own bubble while riding the train, but when Sora looked at him, it was more like he was on a different plane of existence.  Of course, that could have just been Sora being dramatic. Chapter 1: The 7:05 Chapter 2: Just a Scratch Chapter 3: Stalked Chapter 4: Coming to Terms Chapter 5: Instincts Chapter 6: Resources Chapter 7: Under a Dream Sky

Pilfering Silver (WIP) Rating: T Word Count: 9,768 Pairings: Sora/Riku Fantasy, genie AU #november Sora grew up as a street rat.  A mysterious boy, Ku, joined him on his adventures, until one day he disappears.  Sora seeks his friend afterward, and what he finds isn’t quite what he expected.  Can he be reunited with the boy he’s come to care for so much? Chapter 8: Competition Chapter 9: In Favor Chapter 10: Under Scrutiny Chapter 11: Incongruent

A Branded Nobody (WIP) Rating: M Word Count: 9,119 Pairings: Platonic only; Sea Salt Trio Fantasy, slavery AU; warnings for angst/drama, self-destructive thoughts, and references of abuse. It was there, just on the edge of the sector, that Axel’s focus turned to the dull blue eyes, flat like unpolished stones, but still such a stunning hue under those lowered lids.  Perhaps it wasn’t the best criteria to choose a slave by, but then, Axel had always been peculiar like that. Chapter 2: Cautious Steps Chapter 3: Nobody’s Name Chapter 4: Shades Between

Iced

Summary: All that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it’s just an overdressed ice skater trying to regain an ounce of composure after superman-bellyflopping a jump in front of his coach. But hey, everyone has off days. Since qualifying for Nationals and an unexpected locker room encounter with his fellow Sectionals medalist, Roxas has just been having a few more than usual of late.

Main pairing: AkuRoku Rating: T (for now) Chapter word count: 13,013 Co-Authors: @sylvermyth, @apiegohome, @nicayall AO3 Collection: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/Iced

- Sparks and Sparkles - Namesake - Ugly Duckling - At Second Glance - Charity Case - Shine a little

Partager (YOI) Rating: G Word Count: 1240 If anything, it was a sign of trust that Victor left Makkachin in the care of the Katsuki family.  In the care of Yuuri.

Patinage (YOI) Rating: G Word Count: 3643 “Yuuri…” Victor knelt in front of him, and Yuuri hissed in pain when Victor pulled one battered foot into his lap. “How long have you been a skater, hm?” It was chiding, but Victor’s hands were gentle as he inspected tender blisters and welts. “How are you supposed to skate your best when your feet are in such a poor state?”

sentiment (YOI) Rating: G Word Count: 1050 For all that Hasetsu was completely foreign to Victor, it was almost a relief to be there.  Never mind the Japanese assaulting his ears, the illegible signs, the culture that should be shocking him. The food was fantastic, the alcohol potent, and the hot springs—well, Victor was taking full advantage of that.

Glace (Yuri on Ice) Rating: T Word Count: 985 Yurio introspective. His wins feel empty, and when Victor runs off to Japan, he has a moment of self-discovery.

Coming Undone Rating: E Word Count: 2519 Pairing: VanVen Ventus fantasizes about Vanitas, even though he knows Vanitas is dangerous.  Somehow, that makes it more exciting.

Girls’ Night Out Rating: T Word Count: 5180 #yyhbb Divergence from Three Kings arc:  with most of Team Urameshi occupied in demon world, and Kuwabara cramming for exams, the human world is being assaulted by low-level criminals trying to take advantage of the absence of a spirit detective.    However, just because there’s no spirit detective, doesn’t mean there’s no one to defend against troublesome demons.  “So what do you say, Botan?  How about us girls tackle the problem, this time?”

Love Lessons Rating: T Word Count: 6172 Pairing: SoRiku Riku is the socially awkward math teacher.  Sora is the new PE teacher. Riku is instantly smitten, even as he embarrasses himself by spilling his coffee on Sora’s shoes. Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

Learning Curve Rating: M Word Count: 2329 Pairing: SoRiku Sequel to Love Lessons.  Sora and Riku have done little more than kissing, until Riku suggests a night in.  PWP, fluff.

statera Rating:  T Word Count: 1764 Pairing: VanVen (ish) #worldsconnected 2k16 The room where Ven slept remained undiscovered, and the world met its fate, even as he waited. And waited. And still, neither Aqua nor Terra came to wake him, and really, without his friends, he had no reason to wake. So he slumbered on.  No matter how well protected a place, or a person, there was always one thing that would find a way, past wards, and locked doors. Time.

I move the stars for no one Rating: G Word Count: 5592 Pairing: SoRiku (ish) #worldsconnected 2k16 …if they wanted it bad enough, humans could see the Goblin Realm, and the goblins who lived there.  Sora had always been that kind of person. He was a daydreamer, and saw a little bit of magic in everything. He’d always thought that there was a little bit more to the world than the world let on, and he wasn’t wrong, even if he didn’t know it.  A Labyrinth adaptation.

The draw of dreams Rating: T Word Count: 4798 Pairing: NamShi #worldsconnected 2k16 Miss Larxene and Mister Marluxia had taken her in readily enough, and they’d been gracious to her. Kind. At first. It had happened so gradually that she didn’t notice until it was too late. A sharp word over a small matter, until one word became a torrent of them, and then one day, the words were punctuated by blows. Not that anyone would’ve known, with the layers of petticoats that fashion decreed she wear, and long sleeves covering the bruises on her arms, and even if they had, who would care? She had no one.

The Light-keeper Rating: M Word Count: 2210 Pairing: AkuRoku #AkuRoku Month 2k16 The waves had broken above the rocks, leaving a trail of splintered wood, and there, clinging just above the waterline, was a man.  Roxas hesitated, searching for a safe path before climbing down to his aid.   “Hey.  Are you alive?”  Roxas groped for the the man’s arm, eyes straining against the darkness and rain that was still falling.

On the other end Rating: M Word Count: 1897 Pairing:  AkuRoku Roxas froze, eyes narrowing as he processed the overheard conversation. Of course he’d only heard one side of it, and out of context at that.   But even out of context, the last part of the conversation implied that Axel was lying to him about something.

Locksmith Rating: T Word Count: 1580 Pairing: Zemyx The apartment’s sole occupant, sitting in an armchair and sipping tea, was not Axel, and Demyx, in his surprise, said as much: “You’re not Axel.”  “No,” the man agreed.

Appropriation Rating: M Word Count:  1887 Pairing: AkuNo Heist/con man AU where Reno runs a ‘legitimate business’ and recruits Axel.

The cake is a lie Rating: T Word Count: 2474 Pairing: AkuRoku #fandomworkday2016 There’s nothing sweet about working at Minnie’s Bakery.   It’s a combination of retail and food service, with the usual run of cranky customers, and a manager who’s over-critical and overly creepy in turns.  It’s really not Roxas’s day, but that’s nothing unusual.  What is unusual is what’s waiting for him at the end of the day, a spark of light at the end of the tunnel.  Written for Take Your Fandom To Work Day 2016.

Voyeur Rating: M Word Count: 1458 Pairings: AkuRoku Roxas likes to watch his new neighbor.

Rikuzel Rating: T Word Count: 2816 Pairings: SoRiku Rapunzel, but with Riku.

Angora Roving Rating: T Word Count: 2291 Pairings: SoRiku Easter 2k16 In which Sora decides to adopt a pet rabbit, whose name is Riku.

Self-Indulgence Rating: E Word Count: 3521 Pairings: SoRiku microphilia kinkfic Even if the cookies didn’t say “Eat me,” they were still begging to be eaten, they were still from Wonderland, and Sora still shrunk down to size.  Instead of finding a way back to scale, Sora sets out to cause some mischief…and gets more than he bargained for. Part two, Incubi:  Sora and Roxas are incubi, and Axel is their prey.  PWP. Self-Indulgence Incubi

Organic Chemistry: Rating: T Word Count: 4808 Pairings: Zemyx, AkuRoku College AU; Christmas/Winter fic #khsecretsanta 2015 Lazy. Articulate. Enthusiastic. Hot. Zexion mentally ticked off the adjectives he’d accumulated for his chemistry professor, and tried to remember when he’d started using that last one. It was pointless and stupid to be infatuated with an instructor. Nothing would come of it except disappointment, although he had to admit, the way he fixated on the cadence of the guy’s voice during lectures made Orgo all the more interesting.

Looking at the replies to #6172 it is frustrating that self-righteous bullies with no self awareness like antis are so loud in fandom, but it is reassuring to see that in truth, the proship mentality - which for the record has never ever been supporting pedophilia and incest, but instead "don't harass people" and "depicting this disturbing thing is not the exact same as doing that disturbing thing to another living person in real life" - is the majority in fandom. People are just too terrified to be open about that.

Hell, I am not open about not being an anti, and even despite that, without ever mentioning proship, just saying I am anti harassment, I had people come into my dms and insist that I am a pedophile no matter how hard I tried to disprove them. I had antis created faked callout posts about me and stalk me for months even after I blocked all their accounts. Their mindset of liking certain characters or ships making you inherently an evil and irredeemably broken person seriously harmed my mental health.

Of course there is assholes in every group, that is a sad reality of being human, but for antis being an asshole is pretty much required in the ideology.

Fandom Problem #6172:

Pro-shippers are some of the most terrifying, nasty people I've ever met, and simplify every argument into black and white terms that are just not applicable. This isn't freedom versus censorship or reason versus harassment. Yall are not the victims. You'll get angry at someone for blocking you (because... free speech?) and in the same breath insult and attack random bystanders who happen to like a ship you don't (ironically) or just personally feel uncomfortable about incest/whatever other weird shit. And yet they insist "antis" (which is used interchangeablely for "terminally online discourse blogs" and for "just thinks glorified rape/abuse/incest/child porn is Generally Bad" which is insane btw) are the ones who are 100 percent irredeemable evil book burning suicide baiting monsters (which is funny considering how much harassment and suicide baiting ive gotten from them even when actively avoiding confrontation). It's buckwild how childish and immature so many of them are while also being downright cruel and frightening.

#6172

“these people are mean and rude :(” and said people who are mean and rude have likely been told to die and that their lives meant nothing ever since they were teens (like me hiiiii) just because they think that Ashley and Andy graves are a cute couple like sorry that we get pissy after years of relentless cyberbullying

also see: “they’re FORCING you to support incest!!!” Said forcing is people saying “I like this incestuous ship and hey btw it’s not cool to harass people who like it”

“or just personally feel uncomfortable about incest/whatever other weird shit.”

“they insist "antis" (which is used interchangeablely for "terminally online discourse blogs" and for "just thinks glorified rape/abuse/incest/child porn is Generally Bad" which is insane btw)”

like you are self-reporting on why we don’t like yall. This is more reinforcement on why you’re wrong. Because this idea that something depicted in a story can be “glorified abuse material”, this idea that we are “weird” and by default “wrong” and “bad” and “gross” is just you spouting more regressive religious ideals and forcing that onto us. We are weird and wrong and bad and gross, so we deserve to be hurt and attacked and ostracized. This is the same rhetoric people used about mlm shippers back in the day. Yaoi WAS the “weird shit.” Yaoi fans WERE the ones that were weird and wrong and bad and gross. And you’re just rehashing that idea to fit your view of being “progressive”. Like my god what is wrong with you

#6172;

Wanted to ask a commenter:

"saying it as someone who'll never be a proshipper, because I said so (it's my life)"

Can you clarify this? Are you referring to using the label but still practicing a SALS mentality, or is it something else? (Not being a dick, just curious!)
