Here’s my own quick challenge.

Much improved!!

[anavatazes]

Every little bit of this!!!!!!

Nothing has turned me away from the romy ship like Gail Simone and her cult following. I must be the only person who remembers her bashing Gambit back in the day about how he wasn’t good enough for Rogue this and that and now suddenly she’s the biggest fan and loves him but can’t do either character justice in her own writing or has any genuine interest in Gambit other then puppy dog lover of big bad Rogue. She’s always been sus as a writer and a pretty shitty person in general but lordy does this take the cake. The same woman sending people after other fans on X because they like a different ship, calling people predators for liking two grown adults together and claiming Rogueneto shippers are misogynistic and only lust after Rogue wanting her naked any time she with Erick is now writing straight up porn for engagement because the storyline she has is a flop, the characters make no sense and aren’t canon to the way they should be, the new kids are copy and paste of characters that already exist and have no real effort put into them other than background noise and she has the audacity to be having Rogue and Gambit drawn naked in every single panel after all her noise. It’s okay for them to be naked when she wants it, in a comic that doesn’t need that sort of thing and it’s written imo as targeted at teens and Y/A because she’s doing it?

Say what you want but I smell hypocrisy all over that mess and physically cannot look at it any longer, I tried hard to give it a shot but it’s a disaster I cannot wait to be over. Sad times when she’s the only writer willing to do romy thanks to fandom etc but I fully get the hate for the ship. Not a single romy fan has written them well, ever and by this point it’s not even Rogue and Gambit anymore. Glad Savage Land was good and I hope someone gives Gambit some justice in the new AoA comic and keep his actual love interest Lila as the love of his life. The character and fans deserve something after all these years of abysmal writing and making him out to be some kind of joke. Erasing Lila and Belladonna and any other characters for his is real weird from the people saying you’re a purist for not liking romy because it’s not perfect when them not being perfect was the only appeal. It’s the current fans who are unhinged trying to make out they’re in deep love and nobody else can have them at all, ever that are the purists who are doing any good the ship had a disservice turning people away from it all together. I’m a multi shipper but this is now on my nope list. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the couple but I did like the early stuff, now I’d love nothing more if both characters were never on the same page or in the same comic ever again.

Also very weird of her to be bashing Mags as a predator for loving ADULT Rogue and having a wholesome relationship with her where she’s shown to be more mature and in control of herself emotionally and physically because of the age gap yet has created a teenage child of Prof X who’s like 90 or something at this point when that was very unnecessary and really randomly done. What’s the age gap of Charles and Calico’s mom? How very predatory of you Miss Simone. Very on point for that part of the fandom.

Wonderful advice folks!

As a moderately experienced fic writer, best advice I can give other writers: Do not write for anyone but yourself.

While writing, don’t think about who will be reading your finished product. Don’t let the opinions and preferences of prospective readers influence your plot. They don’t know your story, only you do. Your vision is more important than broad appeal. You can’t please everyone and that’s ok. Trust your storytelling intuition.

Tell the story you want to tell, the way that you want to tell it, because everything else is bullshit.

I LOVE this 👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

this is going to be my reaction from now on every time someone mentions using ChatGPT/AI. From the Freaky Tales IG account:

time travel AU where r2d2 is the one who goes back to the clone wars but not in the standard ‘same body new memories’ way. now there’s just two r2s running around the galaxy: one trying to kill the chancellor and another that could be easily convinced to kill the chancellor. their meeting wouldn’t have any time travel ramifications besides doubling the number of r2 units trying to kill the palpatine. this efficiently doubles as c3po’s personal hell.

There will be attempts to sway public opinion in the coming days and weeks. You’re going to see a lot of new accounts trying to start discourse about how war with Iran is a good idea, how starting an armed conflict with another nation is a matter of national security. There’s going to be a resurgence in Islamophobia and an uptick in hate crimes. You have to do your part to look at things critically in a time where the mass media is in the pocket of the ruling elite.

Stay vigilant. Do not fall for propaganda.

Please do not equate me with the person above. That person is ignorant and not very bright and people like that have a tendency to bring out the not so kind side of me that I don't feel like being ATM.

The reasons behind my wanting Magneto to stay who he is goes much deeper, and perhaps more personal, having known this character for so long and never really seen him done justice on the big screen. And lately, the comics have been a shitshow for him as well.

For the first decade or so of his life in the comics, Magneto was a drama queen evil doer and foil to the X-Men. He was fairly one dimensional, not a lot of substance to him, at all. That is until Chris Claremont got ahold of him. Suddenly, he had substance, he had a background, a family, reasons for why he did what he did. He was a Holocaust survivor. He knew exactly what it was like to suffer at the hands of others. He knew about the evils of mankind. And he saw that reflected in what was happening to mutants, another race he happened to be a part of.

It wouldn't work making him part of any of the African genocides like I've seen so many say they'd like to see. No. Not him. The Holocaust is such an ingrained part of him by now, and such an important part of world history that it would do the character a huge disservice to change him. And we have enough Holocaust deniers out there as it is.

I mentioned it was personal, too, didn't I? I'm not Jewish. Have no Jewish ancestry. In fact, something could be said about the fact that I am Norse Pagan and not wanting this fictional character to be changed, a Jewish character.

First, I am a Universalist when it comes to my beliefs. I may come from Northern European Ancestry, but I don't tell the gods who they can and can't call. Second, the only good Nazi is a dead one. Thrid, and most important, growing up, we had neighbors from Estonia who were political prisoners during the Holocaust. Saw the tattoos and everything. Got the story. They were sweethearts. I honestly don't remember a whole lot of them, but that couple made an impression. And I refuse to allow what they and others went through to be wiped from the history books, especially here in the States. Did I ever mention I am a student of history?

So, if you want a black Little Mermaid, I don't give a shit. Go nuts! (She was gorgeous and has an incredible voice) Want to gender bend? Go ahead! I don't care! (Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck was awesome!!!)

Just please, leave my Magneto alone.

You guys need to stop trying to re-imagine Magneto as anything other than a Jewish Holocaust survivor. His age is not nearly as much as an issue as y’all make it out to be. It’s fiction, he’s been de-aged numerous times, and there are still survivors alive today—and with the amount of antisemitism and Holocaust denial right now it’s just obscene.

If you want to make a new morally gray villain/anti hero who’s anger stems from their oppression do that. But don’t take away Magneto’s Judaism.

100% on board with this. Its so ingrained into who he is as a character, it would do him a disservice. As was mentioned above, he's been deaged many times, there is also a thing called creative license, where there can say his abilities have slowed his aging process. Please keep the man Jewish.
