cycles, and the wheels that turn them

I can't wait to see what Ufotable does with this panel:

[0l-unreliable]

trying new things by redoing 'old' things. Andrew's Medusa tattoo idea comes from this post by @prettypipedream.

I think Andrew plays along with the 'crazy monster' stereotype in a way that 'confirms' the thoughts and beliefs of those who don't read into him any deeper but also undermines them at the same time, in a 'the clues were there the whole time' way. In my head, he doesn't really show anyone Medusa's face (aka his back) but shows off her snakes/the snake pattern like a poison dart frog

there needs to be more kunikida smut in the world… maybe something between him and an ada!reader?

True!! I don't see enough Kunikida smut even though he's so hot 💔

Kunikida x ada!reader

Contents: headcanons, scenario that was meant to be short but I got carried away-, established relationship, fluff & smut, Dazai being Dazai, reader is g/n, blowjob, hair pulling, reader swallowing cum, Kunikida curses (let him say fuck!)

A/N: sorry this is all over the place! I was considering making Dazai interrupt the blowjob scene but that'll be for another fanfic ♡

NSFW warning!

You fell in love with him almost as soon as you started working in the ADA, this part was pretty obvious to everyone especially to Ranpo and Dazai who would sometimes tease you about it. What they didn't realize is that Kunikida had also started to like you back, and eventually the two of you started dating

Kunikida made it loud and clear that he does not want the others to find out so soon, and he especially doesn't want you to be touching him so much during work. He's in the office for a reason and he doesn't want you to think he's going to put it to the side just because you're dating

...But of course sometimes you get a little desperate and waiting hours for him to finish working just so he can fuck you seemed like absolutely torture to you

The solution? Give him head. He's become accustomed to having you between his legs and have his big cock inside your mouth during work hours, he was definetly not proud of this so he would only indulge when he's extremely stress and needs it. Other than that? You have to either masturbate in the bathrooms alone or wait until you both go home, not the best feeling but you can't really expect much out of such a workaholic like Kunikida

Always fucks you how you want, though he's not really into BSDM since sex is all about the intimate love, not lust. He'll still do it from time to time and use his notebook to create any toy and bondages for you

He's a very simple person, loves missionary the most since he gets to be close to your body and hear your beautiful moaning right next to his ear. When he's feeling more lustful though expect a lot of pushing you against a table and fucking you from behind

Kunikida is... a very punctual person, he'll write down the day hour and minute you two should have sex, he would even write the positions and everything- of course, this removes the fun of doing it in the moment so you've been trying to get him to lossen up a little and stop planning so much

This came with...various results. In one hand he would listen to you and try to just let his urges win instead of having to constantly put them under control, which meant you would get more time with him!

But on the other hand...he's not too great when he doesn't have a plan. He'll be more worried about messing up or hurting you so please reassure him that it's okay ♡

The sun was beginning to set, some of the detectives have already left to go home but Dazai, as usual, was bothering Kunikida to no end to the point that even you were starting to get annoyed by it. "Look Kunikida!" The brunette called out, showing a little origami bird he made with the paperwork he should be filling out, Kunikida glared at him for a second then back to his computer. "If you're going to be wasting time then go home already." Dazai dramatically pretends to be offended. "Aw cmon Kunikida-kun don't be like that!"

...no response.

You look to your partner and you could just feel his stress and irritation growing by the minute, he was typing more aggressively and was seconds away from strangling Dazai, but he tried to remain cool by ignoring him..

It did not work.

"Ku-ni-ki-da-kun~" Dazai sings as he shows a paper cutout that had the blonde's face drawn in it, and with that: Dazai was fucked. Kunikida slam shuts the computer and walks next to Dazai, the brunette now regretting just a little bothering him so much, Kunikida grabs him by the back of the collar and drags him out of the office, shutting the door to keep him away. "Kunikidaa!" He cries out but gets the silent treatment again. Dazai wanted to keep bothering him but better leave that for tomorrow, at least he has the perfect opportunity to leave work a bit early.

You awkwardly sit next to his chair, not knowing if speaking to him would be the greatest idea, but as his partner you should probably do something, right? He loudly sighs as he continues to work, clearly too annoyed to think straight. "Kunikida?" You quietly ask, he again sighs and turns his head to you, his expression softens but not enough to hide hoe tired he was. "Yes? Do you need something?" You shake your head no, placing your hand in his leg. "You should take a break and leave this for tomorrow, love" He quickly dismisses the idea and continues to work. "Absolutely not, besides I'm used to Dazai acting like that, I'll be fine." He said, you frown trying to think how to make him stop, and an idea strikes you almost immedietly.

You 'accidentally' dropped a pen that landed below Kunikida's desk, you tap his shoulder to grab his attention "Sorry but could you move your chair a little? I dropped my pen." He obliges but his hands are still on his computer, not realizing you've moved entirely under the desk.

You slowly moved your fingers over his thighs, making him gasp and look under the desk. "(Y/N)! Get out of there, now isn't the time for this!" He shouted, but you only smirked in response as you began to touch the zipper of his pants. "No one's around so whats the harm?" You plead with innocent eyes that contrasted your hands already removing his dick off his boxer. After more complaining from his part, he finally gives in and agrees, still working but stealing glances at your adorable face as you happily hum and start stroking his dick with both of your hands, he wasn't giving any reaction but he couldn't thank you enough for the help. He was soft considering this all happened so suddenly but you were confident that would change soon "I'll help you feel better, okay~?" With his other hand he gently puts it over your head, patting you as you did your business. You started to lick his cock as your hands picked up the pace, "Does it feel good?" You asked and he places his hand to your cheek reassuringly "You're doing great" You take that as a sign to go further, so you slowly started to suck on the tip, making him grunt, he could feel his focus slowly leave his mind.

You smirk and continue going deeper until you cant take anymore, you start bobbing your head up and down, your hands still stroking his now hardened and bigger cock. His shoulders finally manages to relax and he goes back to grab your hair, moaning quietly at every touch you give him. "Fuck..." He pulls your hair to make you go faster, you gag a little but keep his dick inside your drooling mouth with no complaints. You looked up to him with your eyes tearing up a little, he was ashamed to admit how hot you looked like this, but his cock twitching was enough evidence to tell you this. You pull out for a moment to breath again, your mouth wide open- this was for Kunikida but now you could feel yourself getting wet. "Kuni.." you moaned out but he pushes you back inside him, never letting go of your hair or slowing down his pace. His moaning is now louder as his breathing becomes uneven, "ah...fuck you feel so good.." He removes the buttons on his shirt and starts thrusting into your mouth, you put your hand on his cock so he wouldn't shove it all in and make you gag. Your moans are muffled by the lewd noises and Kunikida's own moans, the room was anything but silent at this point.

He thrusts into you harsher, his hand still making your head go faster, his moaning becomes desperate as he could feel a warm feeling take over his body "Shit- I'm going to cum..!" He let's go of your hair so he could cum on your face instead but you start bobbing your head even faster than before, your hands trailing below his shirt and into his warm body, he feels a shook down his entire body as he whimpers before moaning loudly and releasing his load inside your mouth. You moan as the thick liquids fill your entire mouth, it felt so good ♡

He takes a moment to calm down before cupping your face "Sorry I didn't mean to do it inside, you can spit it out" He gently says, but you open your mouth to reveal you had swallowed every drop of it "Too late for that Kuni~" He sighs and moves his chair back for you to stand up and clean up. "I think we should go home now." You nod in agreement, hopefully he'll touch you when you arrive as a thank you gift

Hey friendo, I was hoping for some advice! The post you reblogged about neopronouns and other cultures/languages- I noticed in your tags you said to use 'latine' and not 'latinx.' Is that the generally preferred term? I've only ever seen latinx, and am a baby in learning Spanish, so I just don't have a lot of knowledge about addressing people properly outside of the m/f gendered terms/conjugations, but I want to! Pls give me some pointers, history, context, culture etc 🙏

oh heya there! so, the main issue about using the x in latinx is that it literally doesn't make sense in latin languages. it is a word that is impossible for the latine speakers to come up on their on as that "X" sound only exists in spanish or portuguese when surrounded by vogals, and would NEVER end a word, meaning that the ones that created and use the latinx term aren't even latines themselves, they are white anglo people! so when white queers use the term latinx, it almost feels like a slur, as it a term created by the other majority to label a minority in a way they don't approve!

the use of latine (and other gendered words that you see with -e) happens as both Portuguese and Spanish use -o as masculine and -a as feminine (amigo <- masculine, amiga <- feminine).

Historically, masculine terms were used to denominate ambiguity and neutrality, however with the push of the non-binary native speakers that weren't comfortable with masculine terms, new vogals began to be explored to serve as a neutral term, and -e was the easiest one use! now if you want to use neutral terms in Spanish, try switching the -a -o for -e! so it becomes (amigo <- masculine, amiga <- feminine, amigue <- neutral)

if we are talking about neopronouns... i know more about the portuguese ones, but i researched a bit bout spanish ones, so it's ok. so to start, in Brazilian Portuguese the traditional 3rd person pronouns are Ele/Dele (he/him) and Ela/Dela (she/her). When we were creating the new neutral pronoun, the other vocals were considered, however the -i in (eli/deli) sounded too much as a high pitched ele/dele, so it was scraped. Elo/Delo was better however the 'o' sound was too uncomfortable to say, so it was also scraped. In the end, the Elu/Delu was chosen as the neutral pronoun! as an example let's take the "she's my friend" sentence:

"ela é minha amiga" <- feminine

"elu é minhe amigue" <- neutral

Elu/Delu work the same way 3rd person They/Them do, and just like there's other neopronouns in english to signify neutrality like Xe/Xem, theres also other ones in portuguese like Ile/Dile, Ilu/Dilu and many more!

now talking bout spanish, i know about the equivalent to 3rd person They, which would be "Elle". El is masculine, Ella is feminine, and it appears that the native speakers combined both to create a neutral pronoun, it being Elle. let's take a sentence as an example of use " they are my friend" in Spanish become "elle es mi amigue"

therefore, if you want to be nice to your fellow latine queers and not sound like "im a white anglo speaker and i know more about your language than you", please use "Latine" instead of "Latinx"!

hope this explains some things :p

[gibbearish]

love every youtuber being like "now i would neeeeeeever try and diagnose someone i don't know. but yknow they sure do exhibit a lotta symptoms of npd. but again im not a doctor im just saying teehee💁‍♂️" as if just. saying "now i know speculating on public figures' mental illnesses and demonizing cluster bs is bad" beforehand suddenly makes what they say afterwards not be Literally Exactly That

[serendipitous-mage]

not that ive had anything near a 'normal' year in well over a decade but thinkin about how proper fukt and hectic thiis one has been

beginning of year was working for one of the most insane managers/companys i ever have

middle of march i put in my two weeks, because in addition to a Lot of other reasons that i had already been struggling to not leave over, my manager straight up DOXXED a coworker(/their family member) on linkedin--and on the company linkedin as well no less--and some other drama that was just the last straw and i wanted some scrap of sanity back and to avoid that happening to me

end of march, hear that its not just possible but likely current roommate is moving, and while i *couldlve* gone with, it was an area i didnt want to go to

uncertainty from march-august, and not much progress made on job apps in that time because that is Such a huge/panic inducing process for me anyway without being unsure of living situation on top of it

roommate moving confirmed, i try and find someone who could take their spot where i already was but a lot of my friends had literally *just* moved in the last few months, so missed my chances

move in with some friends who already have so little space and money and now they have to share with me

finally hear about a job in like november

the job changes .. many times. first its a call center gig for this company, then they call back with 'the same thing but for a slightly different thing under the same parent company', and it actually does sound a little less hellish, so i go with that. all of the paperwork/emails i receive have the name of the first company on them, but when i asked about it they said it was just because of the parent company thing it was all good. they have me pick a schedule... all of the options are 40 hours, i had not asked too many specifics because i dont have the luxury of being picky rn, but i have never worked full time and am already always exhausted and cant stay awake all day, so this is going to be absolute hell. also there are 12 days where additional hours are Required, 4 of which i wouldve otherwise had off

i pick a schedule. they write back that some things changed here are some other schedules to pick from, i pick a new schedule. when we had initially talked on the phone for the first company i was told a setup day end of november and starting in december, but because of returning people/potentially from moving to the other, now im not starting until the end of january, which fucking sucks because ive been at $0 and owing friends for covering me for months. get a call saying some people dropped out, do i want to start a week earlier? yes ofc i do i need the money. get a call again saying the same thing, so now im starting the beginning of january instead.

equipment arrives: it is.....one small box......with the tiniest dinkiest little laptop with a whole entire one USB port and one USB-C port...great, perfect, this will work so well considering my monitor is VGA, and all three of my headset, mouse, and keyboard are USB connections. i do happen to have a USB to USB-C adapter for other things, but thats still only 2 of the 4 things i need plugged in. i tell them this, they through a series of CC'ing other people into the email find someone who knows where my Other equipment is. theyve sent me another monitor that has a USB-C connection and a (extremely chintzy) USB splitter. ok, technically everything can be plugged in now, whatever

we have a setup teams meeting: the lady running it mentions they just wana make sure our mics/cam work and then we can have them off for the meeting, 'because youre going to need both of them right? :)'. no. no i had bETTER not need both of them you are NOT having me ON FUCKING CAMERA for 40+HOURS A WEEK i will SCREAM.

but then. oh, oh boy howdy, and then...

the meeting was for both of the roles id been offered because the initial setup for both is the same, people for both the assignments are present. last i knew, i was on company B. i already have 15 pages of notes for company B from things i could find on the website and in manuals because i am an anxious bitch and wanted to make the first few weeks as painless as possible for me, im not confident, but i do have a fairly decent start and a basis understanding of the software already, so im a little less nervous about it

then the lady mentions...that....if youre with company A, you were sent one monitor, and if youre with company B...you were sent 2...

......i look up at my Singular monitor

and type in chat like 'hiiii um, so im with company B but was only sent the one monitor ?'

lady has someone else present double check my assignment

and they send

"youre with company A :)" legitimately with a smiley face

and when i tell you i am losing my shit-

15 pages of notes useless. company A is going to be higher call volumes and for a more generalized people which means more stupid questions and more confused customers. from what i can find on the website, their only support option seems to be phones, so there isnt even the possibility of having emails or chats which i Greatly prefer to phone calls, the other one had email at least. NONE of the emails they sent me said ANYTHING about the change, i can only assume it was one of the phone calls where they asked if i wanted to move up a week in the schedule, but it was NOT made clear i was changing anything other than the start date, just "theres an opening in the other class", and in the follow-up emails each time they only said "Thanks for your quick move to this new schedule" and "I'm excited for your earlier start date!", which does NOT imply i have been switched assignments

yall..im devastated lmao. i can never just Find A Job it always has to be some fucking batshit insane garbage like this

i start next week and im ......not excited to say the least ;w;

it only goes until april...but its going to be 40+ hour weeks (and i *doubt* any overtime pay, its technically a contractor role), on exclusively phone support (i fucking hate phones they make me mad anxious), i still havent been able to get solid notes for this one because their website is fucking unhinged and its taking me Forever to dig through it all, the laptop is tiny asf and there is no space in the shared room ive got rn to set it up in a way thats good at a desk or something im probably going to be sitting on the edge of the bed and using my shelf as a table which i Know from experience is going to kill my back and neck esp with the longer hours, they potentially want my camera on while working which is Not happening i might get fired for that even if i can keep up with the hours, and if i do get fired or quit? this job came through a recruiting agency which had got me one of my last remote jobs, and i dont think theyd be too quick to help me find something else if this one ends badly, so im really kind of forced to continue even if i didnt have such a pressing need for income asap

and all of this.. for a whole entire $16/hr :'D

happy fucking new years ;_;

Fic: Ancient Scrolls Don’t Lie

Klaine Advent 2022 #14: dispose

Words: ~1850 words

Rating: Teen and Up

Summary: Kurt finds out what happened to Elder Thompson. (Sort of.)

I’m back with more vignettes from my Mormon!Klaine universe for Klaine Advent 2022! This vignette takes after Convergence (they’re still at the mission conference).

My Mormon!Klaine Masterpost.

Notes/warnings: Anti-Catholic sentiment (very). Well-intentioned but ignorant discussion of Judaism. White boys both grappling with and ignoring racism at the same time.

--------

The one good thing about being assigned the family bathroom for afternoon cleanup was that Kurt finally had a few minutes alone with Elder St. James. The news that had been nagging at him on and off throughout the day could now be spoken.

“I can't believe you didn't tell me about Elder Thompson,” Kurt scolded the back of Elder St. James’s head.

The latter missionary was stooped over the toilet of the family washroom, scrubbing it with a bristled brush. “Look.” Elder St. James flung the toilet brush into the bowl and scowled at Kurt. “I didn't really even know what was going on most of the conference. First a text message that he and Elder Flanagan were going to be late, then that he was missing, then that they had found him. And President Steele kept telling me not to worry about it, that it was for him and area leaders to take care of. I should focus on this conference.”

“Apparently I need to keep a better eye on my companions. I didn't notice you talking to President Steele constantly. Just your interview with him today in his office, and that didn't last more than five minutes.”

“I wasn't. It was mostly text messages. He wouldn’t tell me exactly what was going on, and Elder Thompson is probably the most stable missionary I've ever met, and Elder Flanagan—well, you've worked with Elder Flanagan. He's nice, but he's a little … let's just say I wouldn’t be that surprised if he wandered off with a girl. So I thought maybe he was really the problem, and Elder Thompson had gone looking for him and gotten into an accident or something and that’s why he was missing. But I didn't want to start gossip.”

“You? Not wanting to start gossip? That's rich. And what if he had been in an accident? We should have all been praying for him then.” Kurt scrubbed the final corner of the diaper changing station furiously.

Elder St. James looked like he was about to set his hands on his hips, then seemed to realize that he was wearing gloves besmirched with toilet cleaner and folded them together, instead. “Yes, I like gossip. But passing on existing gossip is different than starting it.”

“Fine. Glad to see you’ve grown in the gospel so much more than I have over the course of your mission.” Kurt slammed the changing table shut and latched it to the wall.

“That's not what I'm saying. Besides, President Steele was very firm about me keeping it on the downlow.”

“Apparently he didn’t tell that to Elder Flanagan!”

“You think Elder Flanagan is capable of following directions from anybody? Besides, everything he said this morning was wrong.”

“What do you mean? Elder Thompson didn't run off?” Kurt grabbed a bottle of glass cleaner and turned toward the mirror.

“No. That part is right. And he is being removed from proselytizing. But he's not being sent home when he only has one week left in his mission. He's going to spend the rest of it working at the genealogy center in Freiberg.” Elder St. James looked at the toilet, gave it one final scrub with the brush, and flushed it.

“I thought you said you didn't know anything,” Kurt said through gritted teeth.

“I didn't. But President Steele gave me a little update in my interview with him this afternoon. And I'm really not supposed to be talking about it with anybody, but …” Elder St. James lower his voice. “Elder Flanagan was also wrong about it being a girl.”

Kurt froze. He couldn't look at his own reflection in the mirror. He concentrated on a white soap stain in the lower corner and rubbed at it steadily. If it wasn't a girl, did that mean it was a— But no. Kurt had never clocked Elder Thompson as gay. But he’d never clocked him as a criminal or an apostate, either, and those were the only other two choices.

“Elder Hummel, you look as white as the sink. What do you think I'm gonna say?”

“I have no idea.”

“Well, stop worrying. It’s not that bad.” Elder St. James pulled off his gloves and disposed of them in the trash. “At least, I don't think so. But … I guess there have been incidents. You’ve worked with him a bit, right? You know how he's sympathetic to other religious views almost to a fault?”

When Kurt had served in the same district as Elder Thompson, it had been Elder Thompson's idea for them to visit the local mosque on P-day. But they hadn't done anything there. They’d just stood in the back, listening to the prayers, and then they’d talked to the imam about the similarities in their religions. No one made a declaration of fealty to Muhammad. It wasn't much different from visiting a cathedral, which Kurt had done on many P-days. “I wouldn’t say that. He was open in a way that all missionaries should be.”

Elder St. James made a contradictory click with his tongue and grabbed the broom. “Are missionaries supposed to go to a Catholic church and take the Eucharist?”

Kurt almost dropped his paper towel. “He what now?”

“Yeah. Which I shouldn't have even known about, it was like three transfers ago apparently. But he told me … maybe a month ago? I told him to tell President Steele, but he said why should he, he used to do it whenever he was visiting with his grandparents and he was just feeling a little homesick—you know his grandfather died last year while Elder Thomas was out here, right? And yeah, it sucks not to be able to go home for funerals, but that's no excuse for cannibalism with the Catholics. I mean, seriously, who knows what's in that wafer? Catholics think that it's the actual body of Christ but it can't be, so whose body it it?”

“It’s bread, Elder St. James. Made out of flour. And wine. Made out of grapes.”

"I know it looks that way. But they do all those incantations and there's that incense and … I don’t know. It's like a Satanic mass or something. There's something creepy going on with those wafers.”

“Exactly how many Satanic masses have you been to, Elder St. James?”

“None, but I was an extra in a horror movie called—”

Kurt held up his hand to stop the onslaught of stupidity. “That's fiction.”

“Yeah, but … fiction can have a kernel of truth in it, can't it? And Catholic churches make me so uncomfortable. All those statues and candles and stuff. I don't feel the presence of the Holy Ghost there. Which is exactly what I told Elder Thompson.”

“OK. So he's in trouble for taking the sacrament at a Catholic Church?”

Elder St. James shook his head as if to clear it. “No. I don't think he ever told President Steele about that. Now it has something to do with Judaism. He’s been teaching a Jewish family for a while and I guess … they did a better job of converting him than vice versa?”

This conversation was a rollercoaster of the unexpected. “But Jews don't convert people.”

“Everyone converts people. That's what religion is for.”

“No. They don't. I mean, I'm not an expert, but I had Jewish friends in high school and I visited a synagogue, and no one tried to convert me. My friend Rachel told me that if I wanted to convert, I’d be turned away at least three times before they'd finally agree to consider it, and that would just be the beginning because the actual preparation for baptism or whatever they call it would take years. She thought that's how Mormons should do things, too. Said it would make us a lot less annoying.”

Elder St. James stopped sweeping. He rested his hands on top of the broomstick and tilted his head to the side, like a robin listening for worms in the ground. “She might be right. I mean, about the less annoying thing.” He smiled as if he had come upon a perfectly cut gem in a pile of rough stones, and shook his head again. “OK, so I don’t know his official status as far as conversion. But ever since they had this sort of pre-Easter celebration dinner over at the house of this Jewish family—”

“You mean Passover? Jews don't celebrate Easter.”

“Yes! Passover!” Elder Saint James snapped his fingers. “Like Jesus and the disciples did, except … different, I guess? Anyway, ever since he went to this dinner, he's been asking a lot of questions about the temple and the Book of Abraham and the Book of Moses. Which confused me, because if Judaism is so hot, why is he complaining about their scriptures? And he was like, ‘No, dummy, they’re in the Pearl of Great Price, not the Old Testament; Joseph Smith wrote them.’ He actually said that. ‘Joseph Smith wrote them.’ Not ‘translated them.’”

“Joseph Smith didn't write that stuff. He translated it from ancient scrolls.” Kurt tossed the paper towel into the garbage. He was no expert in the books of the Pearl of Great Price. It was probably his most neglected set of scriptures. But he remembered that much from seminary. The Book of Abraham was proof of Joseph Smith being a prophet and translator, because the church and the actual ancient Egyptian scrolls that he had translated it from.

“Right. I know. But Elder Thompson has gone off the deep end. He’s saying none of it is real, and if we really want to follow in Moses and Abraham’s footsteps, we should talk to the people who've been following them for millennia, instead of blindly swallowing what some racist white guy from America wrote about them in the 1800s.”

“But Joseph Smith was an abolitionist!”

“I know. But Elder Thompson keeps making me question it. He made me super uncomfortable the other day. He's been trying to prove to me that he's right, and he read out loud the part about ‘for the seed of Cain were black’—and I know it isn’t racist just like ‘the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon’ the Lamanites isn’t racist, because it really means that they were without the light of Christ and not that they were, like, African-American, but— Well. It sure sounded racist, when he read it to me.”

Kurt’s stomach churned the way it did every time he encountered those passages. He knew what Elder St. James said was true. He had heard it in Sunday School and seminary and from his bishop and from his father. God wasn't a racist, and the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price were the word of God, so what they said couldn't be racist either. If the words sounded racist to us, that was human fallibility. If too many of the Mormons he'd met on his mission took these passages at face value, that was a lack of spiritual discernment on their part, not a problem with the text itself.

Are you done? May i speak? Ok then

First, right off the bat its obvious you dont even know the definition of the thing you are defending. Pro ship isnt "supports ppl enjoying ships" it means when you partake in ships of all kinds, regardless of age, consent, or even if theyre family. Yes you too. Saying "supports" doesnt suddenly mean you are exempt from it. You are not a bystander. There are no bystanders in this sort of behavior, there are only those who allow it, and those who dont. Its that simple. I have seen the community, i know what i am talking about. I have seen ppl recklessly stumble around the concept of horrible, most of the time abusive relationships, no self awareness as to why in real life they are bad, only thinking about "shipping", alongside ppl who will look the other way, while trying to remain "neutral".

It is not a "neutral stance" and if you truly believe that then i feel sorry for you, genuinely, because someone fooled you. Yes. Fiction and reality are different things. But that doesnt mean they dont interact. That doesnt mean they dont effect each other. If fiction didnt effect reality, we as humans wouldnt have been making fiction. Thats the entire point. We love creations that effect us. From the fucking beginning we have been telling stories that make us laugh and cry, because they effect us. Even some change us. Shape us. Lets take for example; childrens stories. Like say a kids show, thats main theme is how kindness is good. Why would that show exist? To shape. To effect reality. By changing the kid. Helping them realize they shouldnt be mean to their friends, because their favorite character is kind to their friends, and it makes them feel good to be kind.

Surely youve watched kid shows as a kid? Seeing characters eat a delicious cartoonish meal that made you wish you could eat it? Doesnt that count as fiction effecting reality? Or perhaps you would argue that they are impressionable kids. That it isnt the same w adults. Then lets use adult examples. Like trans adults. Did you ever notice when some trans ppl have names they got from fictional characters? Because the fiction effected them and made them deeply connect with that character to the point of absorbing them into their identity? Like myself? A name of mine that i got from a video game, where i was called this name by fictional characters who fictionally loved me, which effected me to the point i found deep comfort in that name?

But please, lets get back to you. You say there are studies that show fiction doesnt effect reality. Where are they? Do you have a dependable source? You didnt include it in the ask, and since you seem to believe you are trying to open my eyes, im going to guess it was am empty sentence. I am not a child, simply saying "there are studies" doesnt suddenly make me go "oh shit scientists are working on this!" No. It makes me think yer wasting my time.

And ofc. The age old sentence. "Seeing murder on tv doesnt make you wanna commit murder." Really creative. Real original. Its almost like we were never saying that. Almost like we were saying "hey if you act like this thing that harms ppl is normal, ppl vulnerable to grooming might see it and think that the horrible thing happening to them is ok." And you might think "psh no one would think that. No ones stupid enough to see my age gap fic and think its actually ok irl!" Well. Lets use me as an example again. Cuz yer trying to change the mind of the wrong person anon. Cuz its quite insulting, as someone who read fics where rape, and inappropriate age gaps, and other such things were ok as a kid. Which then, ya know, lead to me believing they were ok, which lead to the most horrible moments of my life. But, enough about me.

Lets discuss this demonizing over having moral purity you speak of. Demonizing is a strong word isnt it? It implies yer innocent, and we are guilty. As i have no way of knowing who you are, lets say for a second thats true. That yer innocent. Since you somehow found me i will assume we have similar media interests. Lets make up a scenario, hm? You are an innocent person, who ships Frunn and Frinn. Frunn and Frinn are brothers aboard a spaceship. They rarely get along, especially in such a limited space, most of the time the bonding is forced by Frunn manipulating his brother. He often takes control of Frinn, making him do things he doesnt wanna do. Yet you see it as romantic. Why? Wouldnt it make more sense to go "gee thats fucked up. Glad thats not actually happening" and move on? Why have you decided to instead imagine these two toiled brothers are romantic, even sexual with each other?

Are you not capable of media analysis? To dissect the ins and outs of their relationship, to understand the art of the eternal battle of family vs family? Or, instead of allowing yerself to process it, digest it, you moved towards the only way you can interact w media, via shipping. Maybe you say fiction doesnt effect reality, because you dont let yerself consume media, properly. You do not let it effect you, you do not wonder why this scene stuck w you, you do not want to have deep thoughts. When you say fiction doesnt effect reality, you are saying you do not see past the surface level of what you consume. You are telling everyone you are not capable of thought.

Yes, fiction is "make believe", but it also tells us things. For once in yer life listen to the story. It is real to us humans because we attach ourselves to stories. Teaching doesnt start and end with school match, it is in every single story. If fiction did not effect reality, representation would not matter. Kinning wouldnt exist. Fictive alters wouldnt exist. Hell for the love of god take cons for example. If fiction didnt effect reality we would not have cons. Period. Because ppl love to dress up as characters that have great meaning to them, or represented them. We would not have merch, of any kind. If fiction does not effect reality, why do we try so hard to make that fiction true? Why do we roleplay, and craft, and draw that which we love? Hell yer fuckin ships wouldnt exist either if it didnt. We wouldnt have art of any kind. We wouldnt create. Cuz we as humans, like i said, love things that effect us. Fiction, as an art, effects us. And acting like it doesnt is not only false, but sad. Cuz it shows you are trying to deny the human call to let things effect you. And yer denying the harm that it can cause if yer reckless. Yer denying the countless ppl who have consumed yer art, and let it effect them, either of its beauty, or of its contents showing something is normal, which truly it isnt.

"Antis" as a whole are not trying to wipe out all problematic content. I for one have a fondness for movies and books that explore the darker sides of things, dissecting and unraveling and revealing why it is bad, yet the offender sees it as good. Its just when you simply, utterly devote yerself to making this, in the fictional world, seem normal, it gives off the impression you want it to be normal in real life. The fiction has effected you. Figure out why and fix yerself.
