there's a p common attitude in fandom spaces (fandom in general, not a specific one) that's like "why care about canon, or the characters being ooc? we're here to play with the dolls any way we like" and as much as i obviously am a person who thinks about canon a lot in theory i'm into that. in practice though when popular fanon takes things in a wildly different direction from canon so often it's in the service of taking something that was originally canonically weird and interesting and making it blander. it's flattening a complex character into a broad archetype i've seen a million times before, it's taking two characters with a complicated canonical relationship and writing them in a way where you could find-and-replace the names with any other popular migratory slash fandom pairing and the fic would make as much if not more sense. if you're going to break away from canon at least do something interesting? don't make it less weird? i feel like i'm watching someone take a really beautiful expensive cut of wagyu steak and grind it into hamburger to cook it well done and cover it in ketchup

love triangles these days are so weak like ohh how will the girl choose bw this one asshole nobody likes and this other obvious endgame the entire fandom adores. back in my day the competition was so severe the girl had to marry the mortal one and then marry the other immortal one after the mortal one died. meanwhile the ones in question were reaching unhinged levels of secret-third-thing style devotion all on their own.

it disturbs me that a significant number of people think that the issue with sexual violence, gendered violence, and misogyny is sexual desire rather than dehumanization, so they are relentlessly suspicious of others' (and their own) desires while simultaneously never at all interrogating others' (and their own) dehumanizing beliefs about other people, both within and outside of sexual contexts

anyway you know what i miss a lot in fic. i miss those fics where the author could barely write but had a story they wanted to tell so fucking bad they did it anyway. i once read this 60k meronia fic with maybe 5 paragraph breaks where mello and near showed up on L's doorstep and died and i still think of it on a weekly basis. everything is so polished now everything is basically publishable we need more stuff with endless heart and no technique in sight that's what i think.

look while i don't think andrew and neil are a very jealous couple canonically i will ALWAYS eat up a little bit of jealousy on andrew's part in fics/hcs just to spice things up

“do you think you’ll still be writing fanfic when you’re 90?” yes, I do, and I hope AO3 is still here with me when I’m a 90 year old childless fanfic writer who writes slow burn dead dove do not eat dubcon gay sex enemies to lovers. next

Reader with a biting problem who uses ghost as a chew toy.

You take one look at this cathedral of a man—strong muscles layered under delicious fat arms and thighs bulging with each shift of his body—and decide you have to get your mouth on him. Absolutely no shame about it, too. The second you feel like ghost wont kill you for it, you lean into his space and chomp at a meaty bicep. Ghost only flinches slightly, then chuckles "really kid? Should I buy you some chew toys?"

Despite all the teasing he does, ghost never makes you stop. The only thing he does is grab you by the nape and pull you off if hes really got things to do. Otherwise, hes content to let you gnaw at him all you like. Usually its just his arms, bruises all over his bicep and forearm. He wears short sleeves around base more often so you have easy access instead of having to roll a sleeves up. (This definitely earns him a few side-eyes)

Its routine, now. You find ghost lounging in his room or on the couch in the lounge after a long day, and hes already holding his arm out to you. Giving you the slow easy look like hes got you trained. Honestly, he kind of does, a large hand on your neck while you chomp and a low voice humming "needed this, didnt you? Feeling stressed, that it?"

He makes the fortunate mistake of wearing shorts during a heatwave, and before he even knows what's happening youre crawling between his manspread legs to bite the inside of his thigh. "Fuck! Hey-" he jerks, whines when you adjust your jaw to bite harder. Apparently his thighs are sensitive, because hes gripping your hair and breathing hard "dont start something you cant finish."

Hes looking at you like he wants to eat you, very obvious boner straining through the loose gym shorts. You only grin up at him and get to work. Whines and whimpers echo from the room, ghost gasping and cursing.

He walks out of there thighs absolutely covered in bruises and bite marks, looking like the happiest man on earth. You walk out of there with a satisfied grin and three loads from ghost in your stomach.

the transition from people needing each other to wanting each other is literally one of my greatest weaknesses that shit makes me want to walk into the sea and sit on the ocean floor for a thousand years

I truly believe that neil could effortlessly pull off being a king’s scheming self serving advisor. Not even in a fun emperor’s new clothes kind of way I’m talking about real evil grand vizier levels of subterfuge and manipulation. This isn’t a criticism btw I’d wholeheartedly endorse all of his alleged malicious schemes because i know that he needs that sort of enrichment in his life.
