#you don't have to read it

[multi-babii]

i got onto aftg twitter and i want to leave again. like what do you mean you hope jean dies?? he's an irrelevant character?? aaron is an abuser?? do these people not use any braincells??

to be fair i saw three specific people doing it so hopefully it's not something common

Would you ever write queer or trans content? Specifically, I mean, not a throw away line in a larger story.

No. They're my therapy dolls, my little puppets. Honestly, I don't really think about what's in a puppet's pants. I'd write them the same no matter what their bodies looked like, so what does it matter to me? They walk, I follow. They talk, I record. I feel, they feel, I share.

I write for myself; to help myself, and to make myself happy (or release un-happy emotions on occasion). Since the gender and, by extension, sexuality of a character doesn't really take prominence in MY head, I don't mess with it. I just write what I want to read, and focus on subjects/dynamics that do haunt my brain.

So yeah, if you're looking for a good source for trans/queer LU content, I'm not a creator I could suggest turning to. I can assure you though that there are many other creators who can provide what you're looking for!

why do men think it's okay to day the things they do?

i just woke up from a nap, caused by exhausted, because these men were whistling at me and saying something, i just couldn't hear what.

i thought they were following me, so i tried to call my parents, but my phone bill hasn't been payed yet.

i started shaking the minute i got to the door and was banging on the door, and when the door did open i ran straight to my mum crying, couldn't even tell her what happened for at least 10 minutes.

can you guess my age? i'm 16.

[halfmoth-halfman]

really wish you posted more angst tbh. your angst stuff feels more real than all these aus you’re doing now. idk why all the cod writers now are so obsessed with writing these guys as if they’d be good partners or give a shit about dating. it’s fake fan behavior.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

haha. well. i'll say any fan of any ship that is so toxic about their ship that they will go to great lengths to vehemently deny the existence/plausibility of a different ship with one of the same characters in it. i have no problem with anyone not wanting to read x y or z there are plenty of ships i don't like but i just. y'know. don't read or interact with them! i've felt this way in every fandom i've been in: if you don't like or don't understand a ship just don't fucking engage w it. you don't need to make 700 posts about why it would never happen in real life, like, none of this is going to happen in real life. it's fanfiction. i fr read indycar rpf i have marcus armstrong x david malukas fics in my bookmarks i don't know if they've ever even interacted in real life but it literally doesn't matter bc fanfiction is not that deep !!

10. worst part of fanon

for some reason this one has severely stumped me. i honestly have no idea. maybe any aggressively believed in theory that driver a hates driver b for x y and z whatever like i can't think of anything off the top of my head but i've always hated shit like that. like when someone just Decides that their fav driver hates their least fav because it idk feels easier that way?? i don't get it. does this even answer the question

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

and i answered this one here!

You know what's *not* a good feeling? When your family asks if you're happy in your marriage and that they "notice things" about my s/o.

You know what's also *not* a good feeling? Going though your s/o's Facebook page and realizing that the last like 20 posts all have to do with him running and more than half of them include a picture of him and his one "co-worker" and they have their shirts off. I can't even tell you that last time that he posted a picture of the both of us. Like, my pfp is of me and him. But his is just of him.

I'm just...tired of this tbh. I feel like an insane person because I want to go through his messages to see what they talk about. He spends more of his off time with her than with me it feels like. He goes to eat with her on Fridays and they watch "The Last of Us" at her apartment. He never even asked me if I wanted to watch that with him. But then when we are home together, I have to ask to watch shows with him, I have to ask him for hugs. I called him out the other day about him never initiating hugs. I think it says a lot when I don't want to hug you anymore.

But he also goes running after work and comes home to do other workout things, but gets mad at me because I don't do workout things. I. Work. Two. Jobs. I'm sorry that I work 12 hours a day and want to do something I want to do for a couple of hours on top of other household chores.

I need a therapist, but nobody is contacting me back. I feel like I'm broken.

Guys sorry I’ve been absent. I’ve honestly been feeling like a crap writer the last couple of days. I just feel like there are very few continuous interactions I get with people when I start them, and it’s extremely frustrating. It makes wanting to do replies I currently have difficult but I will be working on them today.  I know it’s just brain weasels and I have something coming soon to combat it, but I hate feeling like this. Part of it is living in a completely different time zone, which is both a blessing and a curse, but the other thing is that I’m realizing is Tumblr just isn’t how it used to be tbh.  That’s something I’m adjusting to. Trying to wrap my head around how the new interactions work, but I’m the Lion Turtle I’ve been around longer than most people here and I just...maybe it’s nostalgia or I’m too set in my ways, but I miss how things used to be. But I’m still here. I’m going to keep on keeping on. I might limit my interactions to relationships with muses (not just romantic) that are actually developing and not worry about anything else. At least for a while. That’s not an official decision just yet, but I’m thinking about it.  Anywho I really am going to try to work on replies today. I might send out some memes into the void to keep momentum going. Thanks for listening to my rant. Sorry it’s lengthy. 

[sunnidaydreamer]

Look there’s gonna some OCs and shit in this VHD fic and I know how people give the side eye for that so...

I will give the side eye back.

this is both your and my reminder that if a fict is a slog to get through as in you are constantly switching to something else to read, you can drop it. It doesn't hurt anyone to just drop a fict as long as you don't tell the wruter you did so. Just drop it and read something else.

What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030

[leandra-winchester]

why define your fandom experience by in-fighting 😭 just enjoy what you enjoy and perceive what you perceive. you don't have to stick it to anyone

I'm not "in-fighting". I use my blog to share my thoughts and post my analyses of the material - as everyone else does. I don't go into the buddie tag and start fights with people.

I've only reacted when some fans were being gross and toxic about their ship, e.g. posting hate on the Tommy or Bucktommy tags (where it doesn't belong), and I've vented when we learned of some fans acting out against the actors, writers, or doing shitty juvenile BS like editing the Tommy Kinard fandom wiki with lies.

If that is "sticking it" to anyone by your terms, feel free to unfollow or even block me. No hard feelings.

Catch-22:

Can't bring myself to care about myself for my own sake, but also won't ask anyone else to care for me before I'm capable of caring for myself

This deadlock has remained unbroken for nearly 30 years. Chances of it being disrupted before I die from something entirely preventable seeming increasingly slim.

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

[cutieboop2000]

Well Ig I'm just having bad luck. I knew something bad could happen sooner or later just bc I'm in my moon cycle. I hate how cursed it is sometimes, and I hate being cursed. For that I expressed it through mono-color WBB Celene dealing with a dead 'human' my getting rid of it and taking a rest afterwards, though not happily. Yeah Ik there's projection but how else can I portray feelings?

There's more to it, but the latter part of this vent has anxiety, talks of menstrual cycle (I code it moon cycle), emotional manipulation, a bit of death and beliefs so you can read if you want, just know if you NEED to talk to me on discord or if you wanna do fun talks related to LBB/WBB or otherwise it's cutieboop2000, display CutieBoop, and there's a Princess Luna icon. I'm just in fandom mutual deprival mode lil bit.

Now for the VENT bullshit. Again you don't have to read, unless you want to ig, but it might be not interesting. Since I was younger I believed in a certain pattern happening whenever I got to my moon cycle. I was naïve and easy to manipulate at the time but whenever the cycle happened, something bad would happen. It could be emotional manipulation, it could be someone getting hurt or worse (like dead), and it would all happen because I'm in the moon cycle. It could be because I used to have a bad friend at the time, but that's past already. Because of all that, I believed my moon cycle to be an omen of bad things and a bit of thinking it's my fault (even though I have my anxiety meds). All I'm saying is that bad stuff has consistently happened in my menstruation cycles, and to un-believe a pattern that I found consistent is NOT easy for me to do. It's unsurprising something bad happened while I'm on it this time, but I still react pretty hard to it. Until the weeks where nothing bad happens during my cycle occur, I'm gonna be wary and prolly moody as hell. For the LBB/WBB side I'm kinda without peeps to ramble to so it sucks hard. : (
