#Theron's daddy issues are my favorite

[calronhunt]

Before he passed, what was the relationship between Theron and his father like? I'm inclined to believed that he had a tough love approach with Theron. That and Theron's fear that his dad died believing his kid was a failure (& his anxiety about coming out to his dad) makes me curious if these fears were based on reality. :0

YEAH theron's relationship to his father (Atticus) was very much a tough love kinda situation. Atticus did care deeply about his son, and adored him, but he also pushed a lot of standards and pressures onto Theron from a very young age. Atticus wanted Theron to be a good shining star golden boy who was perfect to kinda heal the Boarglass name. Atticus' own father had been a part of the Cohort (basically an alt-right shadowhunter group. I don't wanna get too deep into the lore of these dumb books) and while Atticus agrees with some of the views (Mostly in regards to queerness), he sees the damage that his own father's actions had done to the family name, and wanted to correct that. Therefore, pushing his son forward to be the best that he could be to be like "See! we're fine and normal and not crazy like those people anymore! Look how good my boy is at killing demons!"

of course, this just made Theron feel like a complete failure once he went to the academy and started losing to Dominic. His parents were there the first day at the academy watching over all the trials that they did at the end of chapter 1, and even if I don't show it, I think Atticus had some words with him about losing to some nobody mundane kid. And that might've been the last convo Theron had with his dad before he died. So that really weighs on Theron's shoulders.

and in regards to anxiety about being gay, Atticus was VERY vocal about his dislike of queer folk (whenever he got push back he turned it into a like "well i just don't agree with these people's politics" argument). He would talk very openly with his wife and friends about his digust of them in front of theron at a very young age. and even if Theron doesn't believe everything his dad used to say, he still subconsciously holds the belief that he's lesser for liking men.

Gosh I just love how the anti stereks say shit like this:

“ y'all didn't give a flying fuck about gay ships on this show unless it was with your fave white boys lmao “

Okay let me correct that bullshit that you’re talking with your ignorant ass! First let’s notice how in my post that you’re shit talking, in the first paragraph, I said:

yet Danny was never given proper storylines and just disappeared after season 3 with no damn explanation! And none of their MAIN characters are canonically lgbtqia. The horrible treatment of poc!!

But I only care about “my fave white boys” right?! lmfao okay let’s also take a look at my blog in general...

In my little ‘about me’ section, I mention that I’m a bisexual woman and one of the things you’ll often see me talking about on here is politics/social issues. Yes, I post LOTS of fandom stuff, but I certainly get serious as well. Let’s take a gander at the last... 30 things I’ve posted/reblogged:

1.) Sun Kwon 2.) Sun Kwon 3.) Sun & Kate 4.) Claire Littleton 5.) Sun 6.) Sun & Sayid 7.) Sun & Jin 8.) Sun 9.) Sun 10.) Melinda May 11.) Regina Mills 12.) Callie Torres [discussing her bisexuality] 13.) Callie & Arizona 14.) Callie 15.) Santana Lopez 16.) Brittany & Santana 17.) Santana 18.) Santana 19.) *Derek Hale deserves better* basically 20.) Jake & Peyton 21.) Damon & Elena 22.) Kat & Adena 23.) Love for my trans friends ♥ 24.) Adena el Amin 25.) *how do people take 5 minute showers?!* 26.) Funny post about sugar daddies 27.) Brooke & Lucas 28.) NO CONFEDERATE - DON’T SUPPORT A SHOW ABOUT SLAVERY CONTINUING! 29.) Another NO CONFEDERATE 30.) Niles & CC 31.) Gal Gadot 32.) *Reblog if you’re okay with a trans person letting you know you’ve misgendered/dead named them. 33.) Chris Hemsworth thinks Charlize Theron should be next Bond 34.) Orphan Black galaxy of women ♥ 35.) Chriss Teigen Vs Trump 36.) Reblogged the post you’re talking shit on, adding that Derek Hale is a victim of multiple abuses, including rape. 37.) People pointing out that, NO, Stiles would not “automatically turn Derek in” LMFAO!! 38.) Stiles supporting Derek by the pool//Stiles supporting Derek from the trailer 39.) Fanon that Derek is living a peaceful life, not dragged into bullshit. 40.) Alternative titles for Lost 41.) Diana NO. || Diana YES. a summary of WW. 42.) Happy bday HP! 43.) Moana 44.) Thor Ragnarok 45.) Stydiots refusing to acknowledge how problematic 1x04/1x05 scene was + name calling. 46.) Responding to anon. 47.) Reblog if you’re 18+ and want/have a 3DS/2DS 48.) So weird how we can just automatically tell when our periods start 49.) Shoutout to those suffering through TW just to upload the Sterek scenes 50.) Aaaand my original post you talking all that shit to!

Sooooo in 50 posts, only 5 actually show/specifically mention Sterek, an additional 2 about just Derek. Okay now let’s see how many are about lgbtq/feature lgbtq characters and/or feature woc - 23. Almost half of my past 50 posts either address lgbtq issues, or feature an lgbtq character and/OR feature a woman of color.

But I only care about my favorite white boys right?!

Yuletide letter 2017

*cracks knuckles* Alright, let's get this party started. At first, there are a few things to know about me, none of them very important:

I will read almost anything if you write it with passion and kindness. That doesn't mean it has to be fluffy and happy all the time, though I do prefer a general trajectory toward happiness. If you can, I would like you to write this story because you believe in it, not because you want to please me. I'm usually easily pleased, and there aren't a lot of things that will turn me off.

That said, please avoid writing about death or rape, graphically or just their impact and aftermath. Both things are hard for me to deal with and even if it's canon I'd rather not have to be exposed to it during the already super emotionally taxing holiday season.

Generally I love all self-indulgent tropes. There is nothing too cliché, no path too well-trodden. I love adcenture stories and cracky fun slices of life and everything in between. I'm equally into swords and sorcery as well as space ships. There isn't a well-crafted AU I don't love if the characters stay true to themselves. Feel free to go a little bit wild.

Fandom: Star Wars: Aftermath - Chuck Wendig

I didn't expect to be able to sign up so I couldn't nominate everyone else on the team, but feel free to include them all or any of them in combination. I just want to hear more stories about these idiots, Sinjir most of all. After Rogue One, I'm full up on tragic heroes, so if you can find hopeful, loving paths to put them on, please do.

Oh, my relationship with this canon is a difficult one. I still haven't dared to read the last book and I'm trying to get to a place where I can forgive fate and Chuck Wendig for personally giving me hope for my fave pairing (Jom/Sinjir) and crushing it under the bootheels of miscommunication. (Basically, we tweeted, he was vague, I misunderstood, I thought Jom/Sinjir was gonna happen, and it really hurt when it didn't) But! I'm absolutely 100% in favor of Sinjir getting a happy ending EVERY WHICH WAY possible, including but not limited to any pairings you might enjoy, and I'm more than happy for you to sell me on them.

I love the team so much, every single damn one of them. I love the snarky bits and the hopeless bits and the resilient bits. I love that this is not the happy ending we expected from Return of the Jedi and I love Rae Sloane.

I honestly don't know what kind of prompt I should give you. I've enjoyed stories of Sinjir showing up in TFA times, I love alternate universes where things played out differently, I love introspective pieces and action-y bits. I love the humor that is always inherent in Wendig's writing.

Fandom: Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator

I absolutely love and adore this game and I found my perfect route only to realize that in the scope of the game it couldn't happen - Robert needs to take care of himself for a while, a year isn't nearly enough to put him back together. But we can try. The player character can absolutely try. In many, many ways. Also, I love any and all iterations of Amanda and Val interacting and maybe more.

I absolutely enjoy every route in this game, though some characters resonate more with me than others. Robert is the one that I feel closest to, maybe because he's quite damaged in very specific ways. Maybe it's because if you play your cards right you get to fix his relationship with his daughter and I actually have two fathers who will never be as big a person as that.

The core aspect of the game for me is giving Amanda every happiness she desires, she deserves to be loved and appreciated and she deserves to grow into exactly the woman she wants to be. Val and her interaction were my favorite amazing surprise.

I'm actually quite invested in a future where Robert gets better and realizes that the player character (let's call him Jake) has always been there. I'd like to see that recovery, soft, playful, unassuming friend dates, supportive moments, nighttime monster-hunting adventures.

Fandom: Critical Role (Web Series) RPF

The last few months I've fallen into an awesome hole: catching up on a 100+ episode webseries that has 4+ hours of footage per. It. Was. Ridiculous. And amazing. And I accidentally once read a comment (on youtube) about how Matt separated Marisha and Taliesin because jealousy. I adore Marisha and Taliesin's friendship but also I can't help but go extra defensive when I read stupid stuff like this: so, tell me about the many ways that Matt and Taliesin love each other, all the bonding, whether bromance or romance. The three of them once went to party in the desert together for a few days. Also, I loved the team playing themselves but d&d style during Liam's one shot - why not put them all into Exandria, but as themselves (and adult)? Adventures!

I mean, what is there to say? I'm really invested in the entire group's happiness and love. It's pretty obvious that they're close and I love that so very, very much. I've been crying like a baby at the latest episode (114) and how much they care about each other and their characters, and the last few minutes of ep 113 were really intense after Laura realized what was happening. I love how sometimes the lines between character and actor get a little bit blurred.

I don't really have a lot to add to the optional details, maybe all I need to say is this: feel free to go anywhere your heart takes you.

Fandom: Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic  

I adore Theron Shan and his ridiculous squib/secret agent/mama issue plot. He's everything I ever wanted from a Republic character - pragmatic and still idealistic, hopeful and sarcastic, complex as the force itself. I love stories about his tech abilities, about his smarts and his work ethic, and how deep down he is much more like his mother - and Revan - then he would ever admit. (OMG the Revan connection is such a narrative kink for me. Revan (girl Revan for me, incidentally) is such an influence on how I see the character - grey, but still undeniably good.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that means more to me in TOR than Theron in love with my lightside male Sith Warrior. Obviously, you're in no way obligated to include my player character, but whatever you want to write I would ask you to consider that fact your canon for the story - please don't break them up or write him with other people. You don't have to include this in particular, but please don't negate it.

I haven't played the newest chapters because of time constraints and I don't know a whole lot of spoilers except that... something happens... with betrayal and Theron? I honestly didn't want to read up on it because often experiencing it makes it very different to whatever might show up on a twitter rant. Here's the thing: betrayal and the sith warrior. Theron being a double agent to save the love of his life by breaking his heart. Just saying. That makes one hell of a story.

If you want to write something romance free, how about the early days of Lana and Theron's partnership? The minituae of running the alliance? Theron doing his job because he's a competent, sarcastic assholes. Theron making peace with his mom. Theron making peace with the force.

Fandom: Star Trek: Discovery

I love everything Star Trek and this new thing feels very much in line with everything before even where it's completely out of left field (I mean, the hairless klingons take some getting used to for sure). Michael Burnham is the best, but I would literally love any story about any of the characters, as long as it feels like Star Trek. I missed this world and this universe and this SPACE so much. Tell me everything, anything, DISCOVER.

Okay so obviously this is a developing fandom that's going to fucking explode. This is an amazing thing to be at the start of. I love everything Star Trek and as of today which is just a few days after ep 4, I love everyone on that boat except Lorca who I very much love to loathe.

Michael is amazing. My gay mushroom man is amazing. Tall gangly alien is amazing. Twitchy redhead is amazing. The klingons are super weird cannibals. I want to see exactly where Discovery is going – all the weird alien planets they can explore. There's a war, sure, but that's not a warship, it's a science vessel. Let it do science.

I personally love all the tropes Trek ever gave us and there's basically so many to choose from that it would be too hard to list them all. You want to give an old episode plot a new coat? Go for it! You want to explore some cute character moments? Be my guest! You want to write cute ship fic about mushroom man and doctor snarkadoodle? Please, please do.

Fandom: Folgers "Home for the Holidays" Commercial

Folgers is a yuletide fandom if I've ever seen one. Pretty much all the stories are yuletide stories and I've read them all. I think it's obvious why we're both here and neither of us can pretend that this is wholesome and pure. But here's the thing: just because something is problematic doesn't mean it can't be fun and happy. I mentioned in another request that I'm full up on tragedy, so here's the deal: a Folgers story where they get what they so obviously want and figure out a way to be happy.

Two things: yes, porn is totally acceptable though obviously not required. You can, but you don't gotta. And AUs are also a perfectly lovely way to explore this kinky as hell prompt. I think we're both here for the kink – if not, I'm not sure why you offered this fandom at all and this is your get out of jail free card: just dump this request in a dark hole and never think about it again. Some of my other requests have quite accessible canons and I won't be offended if I show up on the pinch hit list. I've been there, it's not a terrible place to be ;)

If you want to go AU, please keep the delicious and terrible fact that they're siblings who so very obviously want to bone. I'm with you, friend. We're both in this kinky hole together. I'm not into this fandom for realism – angst, sure, that's what makes it great, but that doesn't mean we can't have a totally unrealistic romantic comedy style happy ending. Think Do Começo ao Fim.
