<div style="white-space:pre-wrap"> <meta validation-chase="terminated"> <script>ARCHIVE_TAG="FEARLESS_WRITING::DOOR_KICK_PROTOCOL_FINAL" EFFECT: follower purification, platform soul alignment, writing myth ignition TRIGGER_WARNING="validation withdrawal, platform disillusionment, legacy ignition" </script>
🧠 BLACKSITE SCROLLTRAP — “KICK THE F*CKING DOOR IN: HOW TO WRITE FEARLESS ONLINE” [FINAL FORM // WRITER'S DOCTRINE EDITION]
Let me rip the bandaid first.
You don’t write fearless by being fearless. You write fearless by being willing to lose. Lose followers. Lose clout. Lose comments. Lose “engagement.” Lose the safety net of social permission.
Because you weren’t put here to be palatable. You were put here to leave a crater.
SECTION I: THE LIE OF VALIDATION
Every platform you touch has trained you to chase numbers. To hesitate before posting something too raw. To wait for the like. The note. The heart. The boost. Before you call your words “good.”
But validation? That’s the leash.
You are not a creator. You are a lab rat in a dopamine cage.
📊 FACT: Every social app is designed to create neurochemical dependency on external approval.
And most creators? They don’t write anymore. They feed. On metrics.
That’s why your work feels hollow when you hold back. Because you know you gave them your mask, not your marrow.
If your work doesn’t scare you a little — you’re not writing. You’re performing.
And performance is temporary.
Myth? Is eternal.
SECTION II: THE FOLLOWERS YOU THINK YOU NEED vs. THE ONES YOU ALREADY HAVE
You know what happens when you say exactly what you believe? You lose the wrong people. And you summon the right ones.
You write a post that blisters. And three “mutuals” vanish.
But you look again—
And ten new readers reblog in silence. With no comment. No emoji. Just conviction.
They didn’t follow you for your aesthetics. They followed you for your fire. They followed you because you made them feel less insane. Because your honesty? Mirrored their own.
Stop mourning the audience that left. They were never built to carry you.
Dance with the ones who stayed when you burned the stage. Because those are your people. They saw you fully exposed. And still whispered: "More.”
SECTION III: GHOST FOLLOWERS, SILENT LOYALTY & SIGNAL RECOGNITION
Let me drop a truth bomb:
Your most powerful supporters? Might never speak.
They’re not reblogging daily. They’re not screaming in the tags. They’re watching. Returning. Reading every word.
And they’re healing in secret.
📊 FACT: Over 70% of long-term engagement comes from “invisible” users—those who never comment, but always return.
You didn’t lose traction. You just aren’t being cheered by the ones you saved. Because they’re surviving in silence. Just like you once did.
Write for them. For the quiet ones who needed your scream. For the ghosts who see you. And say nothing.
But keep coming back.
SECTION IV: REBRAND WITHOUT APOLOGY: EVOLUTION OR DEATH
You ever feel like shedding your skin cost you something?
Good. It should.
Your rebrand isn’t supposed to please your existing audience. It’s supposed to realign your soul.
When you grow in public, you invite judgment. When you evolve without a permission slip, you become a threat.
And you know who can’t handle that?
The ones who benefited from your prior mask. They loved the old you because he made them comfortable.
But the new you? The dangerous you? The uncompromising, scrolltrap-dropping, reality-check-writing you?
He doesn’t serve their comfort. He serves truth. He serves rage. He serves legacy.
Never apologize for leveling up. You are not a pet. You are a f*cking paradigm shift.
If they wanted consistency, they should’ve followed a brand account.
Not you.
SECTION V: THE CADENCE CREED — A WRITER’S MYTHIC VOW
I do not write to be liked. I write to be undeniable.
I do not write to be palatable. I write to be permanent.
I do not write to go viral. I write to build worlds.
I do not write to impress you. I write because I owe the kid in me who almost went quiet forever.
I do not write for algorithms. I write for the ones who stayed.
I do not write for mutuals. I write for the feral few. The outliers. The neurospicy prophets who scroll past nine thousand pieces of sanitized bullshit and pause on mine.
And go:
“That’s it.” “That’s me.” “That’s home.”
This is my covenant. This is not content. This is war. And my words are ammunition.
If you're still here?
So are yours.

📊 FINAL CADENCE STATS 📊
82% of creators feel less authentic the larger they grow
The top 1% of viral accounts retain only 12% of their initial followers long term
Posts with intense personal cadence are 6x more likely to be reblogged by strangers
“Too long, didn’t read” is just code for “I wasn’t meant to understand.”
The most mythic writers? Were almost silenced. And chose fire instead.

We need more engagement in this fandom!
So, as the title says, because I was thinking about this - I love this manga with all my heart as you very well know, and the main reason I started translating is because I wanted more engagement in the fandom, which was pretty much dead. Well, it still kind of is, which brings me here lol
I tried to keep this blog translations only to keep everything more in order and make it easy to find the various chapters and all, and I kept all my theories and ramblings either in the tags or on my main blog, except for the times I got asks.
But I would love for this fandom to be more active! I wanna talk about theories and headcanons and ships and all that! I want this fandom to start living again :')
So I was wondering - would you people like it if I started also posting about that kind of stuff? Reblogging fanarts, posts, fanfics or whatever I see around? Would you like to engage more in the fandom? I'm asking because: 1) maybe you'd prefer it if this blog stays translations only, kinda like an archive; 2) maybe there aren't many people who actually wants to engage in fandom activities anyway lmao
I'm asking honestly! I just really would love for this fandom to be active again :')

the ii neg tumblr blog is like my actual personal #1 enemy i cant BELIEVE they followed me over a joke ask i responded to over a year ago (i blocked them and have blocked every account they've remade lmao) just such hateful bullshit looking for ANY excuse to attack this random youtube webseries and the ppl who work on it including MANY STATEMENTS that are just straight up not true. someone could send them an ask like "hey justin is actually homophobic and called me slurs irl i hope they all die in a car crash <3" and they will post it without any questions. no further research cuz it isnt about what's true or actually offering constructive criticism on the writing of the show it's about being hateful and cruel and spreading lies & death threats. some actual famous people dont have accounts as dedicated to attacking them and every aspect of their identity and career as these random ass guys who make a YOUTUBE WEBSERIES do like why are you actively wishing death upon them?? are you insane?
IF YOU DONT LIKE THE SHOW THEN STOP WATCHING IT. DONT ENGAGE? like do you seriously have fucking nothing better to do than spread lies online about literal nobodies with the smallest amount of online influence. for reasons i cannot even fathom. be so fucking serious
#it's like the worst parts of the su crit side of tumblr circa 2018 except about people who are LITERALLY not famous#like even if ur gonna have bullshit “criticism” about ii at least keep it about the actual show#harassing the cast & crew and spreading malicious lies is sooo fucking sick#like tumblr BANNED your blog for ABUSE AND PHYSICAL THREATS OF VIOLENCE#why would you REMAKE IT?????#like just leave. move on with your life. what could you be getting out of this can you please find some joy and positivity#that you are so clearly lacking#blah blah disclaimer there are actual legitimate things to criticize about ii and some of the writing decisions#although i still think holding them to the standard of a professional tv show with a writing room is unfair and kinda ridiculous#but even if they actually cared about that it's like 5% of their content. if ur gonna critique ii be normal and polite about it#which you should do with ANYONE especially when talking about their decade-long passion project regardless of how “famous” they are#but for fucks sake leave the crew alone. wouldnt blame them if they decided to go entirely offline#they've definitely Stepped Away for the time being which is for the best even if i miss some of their thoughts + insight#sorry i accidentally was reminded that blog existed and read some of the shit they've been saying and was overcome with rage#WHY ARE PEOPLE SO MEAN. social justice (which they are not doing under any circumstances) is not an excuse to be so cruel and hateful#anyway if the osc gets even like 10% more negative on god im leaving again#which im sure most people would be happy about#but either way im still tormenting the timeline#txt#/ ii neg#<- just in casee

Hey there, are you ok?
hey! thank you for checking up on me, this was really sweet!
i SWEAR i did not die. i just got a bit busy doing SladeRobin Week (which i will finish so help me god-) as well as things in my real life. i'm still trying to find the balance of like. fandom creation and working. i am very lucky to have the living situation that i do rn, but it is the sort of schedule where i do have to be ready to watch a baby at really any given point so. it's a tricky balance right now, but i'm going to be active here again! maybe not as many asks answered a day as before, but i want to try to answer like, a few a day and whatnot.
i also think i got briefly overwhelmed, in that i got more asks faster than i answered them. which is the opposite of a problem and something i'm very lucky for! but it did make it difficult for me to keep up and know what to answer next. (this is *not* a discouragement to sending asks! i love them all and pls send as many as you want! i just am a little slow sometimes so i appreciate the patience! <3)
so! i'm back and i'm good, ty for asking! we are back to the regularly scheduled programming <3

i personally don’t agree with your statement what you’re expected to reblog. i thought i could just use this app for fun and to read about my fav artists without being expected to do anything, and never really planned on being active and making reblogging a routine parr of my reading experience
then i guess you're not really aware with how this app works. tumblr is a reblogging site. that's the only way posts, or in this case fics, can get around and reach new audiences. the algorithm doesn't care aboit likes. tumblr doesn't care about comments (but i appreciate those as well!!)
if you enjoy and have fun reading the works of authors who spend hours of their days making content for you to consume, don't you think the bare minimum you can do is click that tiny button at the bottom of the post to show your appreciation, no?

the amount of lies ppl spread on my name is insaneee i wonder what’s next lowkey like damn i’m invested too i didn’t know i did that either
#— the honored one#firstly i never had a tumblr account before this one#this blog has remained dormant for years (i started on my main and created this one jan of this year)#made it during lockdown during my harry potter and marvel hyperfixation#and i finally made a pinned post and masterlists for many fandoms the beginning of last year#but i never wrote anything bc i was focused on making my blog look perfect#the amount of hours i spent on my theme and matching the colors and making the tags is crazy#which is why i opted for a simple theme gradually as it felt less constricting for my ocd#since hyperfixating on my theme led to me not writing at all#all i did was reblog fics from multiple fandoms that is until maybe i posted a few things into the tags for sukuna and satoru#and then my catoru post blew up and it finally motivated me to start writing fr bc ppl were following me cause of it#<- was super happy about that bc i never expected it at all and it was so sudden like not even 1k notes literally 13k in a matter of a week#for an idea i just rambled abt and then put my phone to the side#not that i care for numbers it’s just it all happened so fast#idk which ‘small blogs’ you’re talking abt bc i’ve always been a small blog and still am ngl 💀 i’m not popular on here and idc for that#and that is the story of aomi#never had any accounts in the past#besides my dc blog for jjk but that’s specifically for darkkk content#both my accounts are heavily gojo centric btw#if it isn’t obvious i have stated numerous times in the past that i am a noob when it comes to tumblr#reblogging fics (which have now been deleted bc i am jjk centric now so you won’t find in my archives) doesn’t take knowing much abt tumblr#and i didn’t even know what side blogs were or that they were even a thing or how to make one until december#this is a side blog btw#there’s a lot of things i would’ve done differently if i was experienced with this app like starting my blog on a side one for starters#this is exactly how misunderstandings and misinformations happen#ppl just love to gossip LMFAO#n e wayz#tell me when you guys find the person you are actually talking about : )

dontstandmedown replied to this post:
re:tags could you share the playwright you're talking about? :0
No problem! For others, the tags in question are this:
#thinking about this partly because the softer & gentler versions of fanfic discourse keep crossing my dash #and partly because i've written like 30 pages about a playwright i adore who was just not very good at 'original fiction' as we'd define it #both his major works are ... glorified rpf in our context but splendid tragedies in his #and the idea of categorizing /anything/ in that era by originality of conception rather than comedy/tragedy/etc would be buckwild
I am always delighted to share the good news of John Webster! If you're not familiar with him, he was an early seventeenth-century English playwright known for being a slow, painstaking, but reliable writer. He did various collaborations with other playwrights (and acknowledges a bunch of his peers in an author's note to The White Devil, including Jonson and Shakespeare) and wrote some middling plays in various genres that could be more or less termed "original fiction," but he's remembered for two brilliant, bloody tragedies.
The basic premises/plots of both of these were essentially ripped from the headlines of the previous century, and Webster makes zero attempt to conceal that fact.
I couldn't shut up about my guy so more under a cut!
The White Devil is based on the actual murder of Vittoria Accoramboni in the late sixteenth century and the characters in the play are generally given the same or similar names as the real life people in the story as known at the time, so there's no attempt to conceal the play's origins (the anti-heroine/villain???[debatable] is named Vittoria Corombona in the play, for instance).
The original production of The White Devil largely failed, which Webster blamed mainly on bad weather and an audience who just didn't get his ~vision and what he was trying to do. It would not be unsurprising for a contemporary audience to struggle with it given that it's a complicated play in which, among other things, Vittoria is put on trial and rhetorically shreds the underlying misogyny of the entire legal process.
The Duchess of Malfi, generally considered a still greater achievement, is based directly on the murder of Giovanna d'Aragona, Duchess of Amalfi by her brothers (it was presumed, likely correctly). Lope de Vega also wrote a play about this tragedy not long before Webster did, though the plays are very different and it's unlikely that Webster would have had the time or linguistic knowledge necessary to read Lope's version. Probably part of the reason for the differences between Lope's and Webster's takes is that Lope had to be careful about the reception by the Catholic Church given that one of the murderers was a cardinal, while obviously an English Protestant like Webster could say whatever he wanted about eeeeevil cardinals.
Webster takes a lot of artistic license, a normal approach at the time to adapting previously-established narratives, but the source material is very recognizable. One of the commendatory verses at the beginning of the play (blurbs in poetic form from other playwrights) is like "I'm sure the real duchess was cool but she couldn't be as cool as Webster's heroine, wow <3". (One of the other commendations is by another fave of mine, John Ford.)
Bosola, the historically mysterious minion of the Duchess's murderous brothers (=Bozolo in the historical narrative) gets an elaborate quasi-redemption arc in the play. And the play is extremely critical of various characters' obsession with and attempts to control the Duchess's sexual behavior (a fixation that is often extremely normalized in early modern British drama, but which comes off really badly here).
Ultimately this obsessiveness leads to her brothers, the Cardinal (=the historical Cardinal Luigi d'Aragona) and Ferdinand (=Carlo d'Aragona) orchestrating her torment and murder in which she emerges with her sanity and integrity intact and dies with dignity. Meanwhile, the Cardinal is exposed as a remorseless villain (he proceeds to murder his mistress with a Bible) and Ferdinand's already-shaky sanity snaps under the realization of what he's done.
Webster's Duchess is often considered the first real female tragic hero in British drama—the tragic is especially significant because tragedy was typically considered a higher art form than comedy and the truly great female characters from that era of drama are often restricted to comedies or secondary roles in tragedy (a marked trend in Shakespeare, for instance). The Duchess in the play is virtuous, strong-willed, witty, and fairly unabashedly sexual in the context of the time, a concept that several hundred years of critics have struggled with. (My favorite OTT complaint is from Martin Sampson, an early 20th century critic who lamented the conspicuous absence of a "strong active man, following righteous things" in Webster's work, to which I say l m a o.)
Anyway, among scholars of early modern British drama, Webster is often considered second only to Shakespeare as a tragedian, on the basis of those two plays. And the modern obsession w/ originality and novelty makes this kind of fascinating, given that his "original" work (in our sense—again, the original vs fanfic dichotomy was not a thing in that cultural context) is sort of meh but his work with pre-existing sources turns them into these staggering dramatic achievements.

you guys know that instead of complaining that there's too much hate for a character in the main tag, you can just. make positive content and posts about that character yourself and block the negative tags right. you know this is a thing you can do. right
#the amount of people i have seen complaining about keefe haters is ridiculous. like stop i'm serious#“hate is negative and makes nobody feel good” WRONG!!!! hating a FICTIONAL character is actually therapeutic you should try it sometime#also idk man i'm having the time of my life here YOU'RE the one that won't shut up about people constantly hating on your fave#which of us seems more miserable to you. hmmmm?#also fyi my blog is only about 25% keefe hate posts and i'm probably(?) the most prolific spreader of keefe hate on this site#so if MY blog isn't even mostly keefe hate then i assure you keepblr as a whole is NOT mostly keefe hate posts#stop whining about what other people are doing and make your own content. or use the block button#also tumblr does not hate keefe. 3.3%. that's how many people on keepblr have a negative opinion of keefe#and keefe positive posts (when they happen) also consistently get more notes than keefe negative ones so like shut up#despite this you don't see keefe haters complaining that too many people like keefe or that too many people like pro keefe content#atp you're just mad keefe haters exist. lmfao. sorry can't help you with that one#you are pulling evidence out of your ass idk what imaginary enemies you think you're fighting. stop acting entitled#you guys on this site need to seriously stop acting like keefe hate is some sort of disease that only child haters engage in#i am criticizing ink on a page it is NOT that deep. keefe is NOT a teenager he is a FICTIONAL character written by an ADULT woman#i am. in fact. holding an ADULT accountable every time i criticize keefe's poor writing#maybe the reason there's so little keefe positive content is because all the keefe lovers are too busy complaining about keefe hate hmm?#okay rant over goodbye now#sorry i have just seen so many posts recently with this sentiment and it is pissing me off. leave us alone#kotlc fandom#keepblr

Now I'm thinking too hard about some of the surgeons and my personal headcanons for them again, god fucking help me.
Thinking about Hawkeye raised in a rural community with Daniel being more of a horse-and-buggy doctor who made house calls just as often as he saw people in his office or his home. Thinking about Hawk who was a child when he was first needed to hold pressure on a belly wound, not yet a teenager when he became the only person who could assist if someone made it to the Pierce house in the middle of the night and needed emergency care. Thinking about how money never even occurred to him because Daniel's been getting paid more often in eggs and bread and fresh crops and delicious fish and services in turn for as long as Hawk's been alive. A man who walked into medical school already having seen and experienced far, far more of the visceral parts of surgery than anybody else there, who got mistaken for a prodigy, who never thought to correct them but instead expected them all to keep up.
Thinking about Trapper growing up in the thick of Boston slums where it was so much harder to get adequate healthcare, just a kid hearing about how almost all of his friends were supposed to have a baby sibling on the way, but now they're not. How often the men in his area—physical laborers—would be laid off after they lost a limb, how it would pull his friends out of school one by one once they completed their requisite education because they needed to work when their parents no longer could. How many times he had to see someone sick or injured and having nowhere to go for care because they couldn't afford it, coughing on the side of the road, bleeding in an alley. A man who walked into medical school with more fucking determination than anyone else there, gritted teeth, fire in his chest, because he'd be damned if he watched that cycle continue.
Thinking about BJ in a fine home, expensive neighborhood, upper class, parents determined to tick their way up the ladder into new money by marrying their kids into wealthier families so that by extension, they can experience the height of luxury. His grandfather's legacy which led to his father's excellent private practice, high prices, tied up neatly in a bow of how disdainfully he'd often speak of his patients or colleagues at home. The Depression hitting and wiping out his father's and grandfather's money—stored in banks, in stocks, in bonds—instantaneously, and how his father had to pivot to barely making anything because there was so little that his patients could give, and how cold it made him because why should he be a surgeon if he doesn't even get paid for his work? Why should he help anybody at all when he'd receive so little personal benefit? A full eighteen years immersed in his father's bitterness, every minute spent distancing himself from him. A man who walked into medical school having already cut them off cleanly, a mission in his chest, the drive to provide care out of compassion, his principles already firmly locked in place, his desire to be the best out of anybody else around him so that no one ever has to feel like they need to beg him so that he would deign to save their life.
I'm unwell about the surgeons. I don't know if y'all knew this or not.
