I want them to be evil together :)

I think the most evil thing fandoms do is genderbend fat and hairy men into classically beautiful women with curves and big tits.

The game tips keep telling me how to sneak away from Kim but why would I want to do that? I love Kim. Kim is perfect. Why would I ever want to be away from Kim. I want more Kim actually.

Just to be clear, I fully think that Wealwell could hold a much bigger role if Cloudward, Ho gets a sequel (like Gilear getting more depth and backstory in SY and JY) but as it is, I cannot see Brennan derailing whatever story and plot and characters he had lined up just for the twist of Maxwell's funny brother being evil.

"Wealwell is going to betray the party, end up being the secret villain, etc." Wealwell was a funny name that the players latched onto and now Brennan is desperately scrambling to make an interesting and unique character out of someone who was never intended to be anything other than an occasional name drop.

Man, no offense but a lot of ao3 authors need to learn how to use author notes instead of rambling in the fic tags. All you're doing is creating an inaccessible wall of text that makes it so much fucking harder for readers to find relevant tags through all the vaguely related tangents.

[tired-fandom-ndn]

if you're writing and find yourself thinking 'this is too weird/gross/offputting/esoteric/ambitious/catered to my specific interests + sure to push away a broader audience' that is the devil speaking and it is a lie. you are already firmly on the right path and you need to double down

i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”

Okay, another little lesson for fic writers since I see it come up sometimes in fics: wine in restaurants.

When you buy a bottle of wine in a (nicer) restaurant, generally (please note my emphasis there, this is a generalization for most restaurants, but not all restaurants, especially non-US ones) you may see a waiter do a few things when they bring you the bottle.

The waiter presents the bottle to the person who ordered it

The waiter uncorks the bottle in order to serve it

The waiter hands the cork to the person who ordered the bottle

The waiter pours a small portion of the wine (barely a splash) and waits for the person who ordered it to taste it

The waiter then pours glasses for everyone else at the table, and then returns to fill up the initial taster's glass

Now, you might be thinking -- that's all pretty obvious, right? They're bringing you what you ordered, making sure you liked it, and then pouring it for the group. Wrong. It's actually a little bit more complicated than that.

The waiter presents the bottle to the person who ordered it so that they can inspect the label and vintage and make sure it's the bottle they actually ordered off the menu

The waiter uncorks the bottle so that the table can see it was unopened before this moment (i.e., not another wine they poured into an empty bottle) and well-sealed

The waiter hands the cork to the person who ordered the bottle so that they can inspect the label on the cork and determine if it matches up; they can also smell/feel the cork to see if there is any dergradation or mold that might impact the wine itself

The waiter pours a small portion for the person who ordered to taste NOT to see if they liked it -- that's a common misconception. Yes, sometimes when house wine is served by the glass, waiters will pour a portion for people to taste and agree to. But when you order a bottle, the taste isn't for approval -- you've already bought the bottle at this point! You don't get to refuse it if you don't like it. Rather, the tasting is to determine if the wine is "corked", a term that refers to when a wine is contaminated by TCA, a chemical compound that causes a specific taste/flavor. TCA can be caused by mold in corks, and is one of the only reasons you can (generally) refuse a bottle of wine you have already purchased. Most people can taste or smell TCA if they are trained for it; other people might drink the wine for a few minutes before noticing a damp, basement-like smell on the aftertaste. Once you've tasted it, you'll remember it. That first sip is your opportunity to take one for the table and save them from a possibly corked bottle of wine, which is absolutely no fun.

If you've sipped the wine (I generally smell it, I've found it's easier to smell than taste) and determined that it is safe, you then nod to your waiter. The waiter will then pour glasses for everyone else at the table. If the wine is corked, you would refuse the bottle and ask the waiter for a new bottle. If there is no new bottle, you'll either get a refund or they'll ask you to choose another option on their wine list. A good restaurant will understand that corked bottles happen randomly, and will leap at the opportunity to replace it; a bad restaurant or a restaurant with poor training will sometimes try to argue with you about whether or not it's corked. Again, it can be a subtle, subjective taste, so proceed carefully.

In restaurants, this process can happen very quickly! It's elegant and practiced. The waiter will generally uncork the bottle without setting the bottle down or bracing it against themselves. They will remove the cork without breaking it, and they will pour the wine without dripping it down the label or on the table.

Marya: The mech suit has a kill switch that will kill whoever is inside it and we don't know who has the switch.

Van: That's fine though because Olethra is the one who uses the suit and she's a little robot girl :)

Marya:

Marya: You are so right, how could I not realize that she is a little robot girl.

The introduction of rumors in Cloudward, Ho was amazing, I am never going to be over Van just declaring that Olethra is a little robot girl.

Dubiously ethical in the sense that the older party is definitely taking advantage of the younger person's inexperience, eagerness to please, and whatever crush they have on someone they're not supposed to have. Even if the older person isn't necessarily mean, the manipulation and casual cruelty to both their partners is what makes it hot ☺️

I think every fandom needs a dubiously ethical cheating fic with a massive age difference.
