Hi! Just wanna say that I really enjoy how you write Trapper, Keeper. I think I've reread it multiple times and it's one of the König fics that I keep coming back to. Honestly, it is one of my favourites. You do a really good job at keeping me on the edge of my seat and throwing me on an emotional roller coaster with how things progress. You really have a way with how you're able to express the reader being self-assured but also being insecure with herself and her predicament. The way she's stuck in between two hard places, one where she is knows who she was/is and not fully trusting König because of her instincts/training. And the other, she wants to trust/tries hard to please him and being scared of messing up/full of self-doubt because he is the only thing she has right now /only comfort she knows at the moment. (I assume that's what he wants her to think). Sorry for the rambling/messy thoughts. Just happy you share your amazing writing 😊

Eee thank you so much!!!! Im so ecstatic that you read my fic (more than once 😭😭) that’s such a huge compliment

And you’re exactly right!! I tried my best to show that Hase normally isn’t just insta-doormat, but she’s in a situation where fawning and playing a certain role feels the safest to her. König reinforces this. And then she feels conflicted that she enjoys parts of it, to the point where she starts to doubt herself and her life/relationships outside the cabin.

But she doesn’t always doubt König the way many argue she probably should — she feels she doesn’t have much choice because like you said…he is all she has right now, and he is keeping her alive and warm and fed. Additionally she feels empathy for him and this skews her thinking at times, especially the closer they become…

I appreciate you taking the time to write out your thoughts, and I adore your art!! I was really happy to to see this ask because I’d been following you for a minute hehe ☺️

Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

Fiction is not reality.

You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.

No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.

No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.

You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.

Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.

The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.

Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.

Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.

You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made

I just read Chapter 19 of Trapper Keeper and you have outdone yourself 👏🏼 Every chapter I think to myself “there’s no way this can get any better, it’s already perfect” and then you prove me wrong. Truly my favorite fic on Tumblr and A03. And this chapter didn’t even feel shorter! It was packed with so much emotion it felt like a long chapter!

SPOILER for CHAP 19: One of my favorite moments in this new chapter is Konig calling out Hase for waiting for her hero to come save her. That singular line put so many aspects of Konig’s character and actions into place. He is so possessive of Hase and angry at her actions because he is upset she is waiting for this hero/her old team and he just wants her to accept HIM as her hero. He just wants his Hase to be happy with HIM😭 I know he has red flags and is gaslighting reader, but I love him your honor 🙌🏼

THANK YOU 😭😭 im so flattered that TK is your favorite fic

And YES like he always seems to get upset when she talks about her team or wanting to leave or be rescued. God forbid she even mention Soap’s name…😬

König had such tight control over his environment, house, and her — makes you wonder what would happen if that started to unravel, or if things started to spiral out of his control…

[tinypandacakes]

uh-oh was Konig saying he would always track down what’s his foreshadowing for the future🫢i’d like to think there’s no way the 141 would abandon one of their own and that Konig is likely gaslighting the living daylights out the reader…and if that’s the case what happens if the 141 finds the reader and tries to take the reader away from Ko😨

is there a word for wanting to physically consume and digest a story to experience on it on that much more of a visceral level? because i want to print this story out and devour it so ❤️you’re an amazing storyteller and writer.

Hfbdbdbdbd sorry this reply is so late, im terrible at answering asks. But please know i have re-read this several times since you sent it. Thank youuuuuu for the kind words! I spend a lot of time thinking about and writing this story and trying to get the details right. It feels good to hear that I’ve accomplished that 💕

But yes, I also wonder what would happen if someone tried to take her away from him :)

hi! I'm really enjoying trapper, keeper— and I don't think any fanfic I've read before actually made me scared of the male lead! Reading konig and reader relationship, and watching how it's turning out, is really great! I love that he actually made me a bit scared, but because I love him as a character it made it feel like I was really in the readers shoes!

I love your writing and the way you convey the mcs emotions, even through her dreams, as well as how she feels about konig— all conflicted. I can't wait to see how it turns out! I know most of the time having writing compared to, 'oh this could be a movie' is kinda generic??? idk, but u really felt like it could be

Thank you so much 🥹🥹 originally the fic wasn’t meant to be as horror-ish but it leaned that way and it’s been fun to play with that dynamic and how it evolves over time. But even when there are nice moments between them and she starts to feel empathy and affection for him, something slips or reminds her/reader of how scary her situation really is if you look at it objectively…she’s definitely conflicted!!

No I really appreciate that compliment 🥺 thanks again for reading and leaving this lovely message 💕💕

the five hottest things a fictional man can be are 1. highly intelligent 2. terminally ill 3. emotionally unavailable 4. full of trauma and regrets 5. lying about their identity
