AHHHH i’m literally foaming at the mouth screaming kicking my feet at your swap au because ahh!! AHHH!!! it’s just so so juicy and i love love love that it’s raph and mikey centric because they’re my faves too!! anyway thanks for making it!!! i screech when i see new posts about it haha

well you're in for a treat because 99% of the stuff i make is raph and mikey centric! i love those goobers so much, they deserve the world

there's stuff for leo and donnie too, especially in mutant manhunt! so they aren't completely sidelined, i just tend to have more ideas revolving around the sunset duo than the twins ^^

#another reason im wanting to branch out into writing has to do with how hard it is to find raph-focused fics and oneshots #i bookmark every single one i come across #having said that... i don't have many bookmarked raph fics. like at all. :( #and i have like five different things im working on #but they only exist because they scratch the itch in my brain unlike 90% of the fics i read :((( #rottmnt #asks open

Hehehe~

Just uhh, took a lil bit to do sum brainrot doodles for @naffeclipse 's rabbit y/n fox s/m au! (I don't think I captured it quite right, but I really wanted to doodle a silly Sun fox then went from there♡)

#light's spot #my art #sketch #I liked the idea of them maintaining their “mask” faces somewhat #and I think they'd just... take them off.. or smth? #idk the logic #fluffy sun was just what I wanted to draw #and of course I adored the mini-fic so uhhhh #totally hasn't been spinning around in my head since I read it hehe #naff's writing knocks me out every single time istg

[ceilidho]

to be against dark fics in the military fandom………some of y’all are rly into mental gymnastics lol

#or hybrids or whatever like...... #i have 7 billion recommendations for other fandoms if you can only consume “good clean wholesome” fiction #im not saying you HAVE to read every single fic if it's not your jam but like genuinely some people here have lost the fucking plot

Sad and so happy! Feelings flow over

Now our world is full of all kinds of colors

Closing my eyes, I still can see the stars…”

On my walk home from the cafe I was thinking about Sanji (as one does) and how every influence in his life for 19 years screamed at him to hunker down, stay silent, and never appear weak.

As much as I love Zeff and know he loved Sanji, it's clear he has such a straight-laced and unflinching view of masculinity and what it means to be a man. The environment on the Baratie was an extension of that.

It was a machismo world where affection was hidden behind kicks to the head and insults. The kind of environment where cutting your hand or something gets a response of "what? You call that an injury? Don't cry over nothing". Where outright kindness has to be dragged out of people, and then immediately covered up with a half-baked insult.

Throw into that environmemt a little boy who is desperate to prove he's not the failure he was told he was, and out pops a man who wears his heart on his sleeve for "acceptable manly emotions" but who hides real emotions behind anger, and hides pain (physical or emotional) altogether so as not to seem weak.

Tack onto that the idea that the only surefire way to show love is through self sacrifice (his mom + Zeff), then of course Sanji will be all sorts of jacked up.

We see throughout the series how Sanji is so unwilling to be vulnerable or to even admit he's feeling hurt at all. Plaster a smile on, make some comment about loving women, and voila! He's the man's man everyone expects. No need to worry about him. After all: he's strong.

...🥺

#op meta #the news coo latest #sanji #i have like 10 different sanji-centric fics rolling around in the ol' noggin #but every single one of them features at least one scene where someone (Zoro) sees through his hyper-masculine bullshit #what really interests me is when sanji is forced to confront that fucked up view of the self he has #like for example: Zoro gets hurt and allows himself to rest or something and is unapologetically fine with being 'weak' #sanji so desperately wants to rib him for it but zoro is so stoic about it that he starts to realize 'oh...its ok...to not be ok? publicly?' #imma sit here and stew on this for awhile #Anyway the coffee from the cafe is good but now I need to go read as much Sanji trauma dump fic I can get my hands on lol #to be clear btw: i dont doubt zeff cared for sanji when he was down but i feel sanji had to be in a bad way to get the 'real emotions'

hi! do you like comments on fanfic? I'd like to leave ones but I don't want to be annoying

Hello Anon, thanks so much for the ask.

Personally, I do love getting comments on my fics. I had one on a really old one of mine recently and it was such a treat to think of someone looking back over things I wrote many years ago and still reading them.

I'm a member of lots of fandom discords and writer spaces and I don't think i've ever heard any author say that they find comments annoying - in fact, it's quite the opposite! for most of us, comments are like gold and we treasure them.

I have fallen hideously behind on my replies to comments on my fics (i mean, i am years behind) and it's one of the things i miss the most about my early days in fandom. getting to chat to people who have read??? my writing??? and liked it??? amazing!!! But I usually write a note at the end of my fics to say that even though i may not be able to reply straight away, i read and appreciate every comment hugely. and it's true. from the long comment with quotes from the fic and personal anecdotes, to the comment with the single heart emoji, I feel genuine gratitude towards the commenter.

I myself often worry about leaving comments (silly intrusive worries like: does the author want to hear my stupid thoughts? what should i say to let them know how much i loved this? am i being weird about their fic? etc etc just bad brain stuff) and usually i try to focus on the fact that i'm just thanking them for a gift, and they are more than likely going to be really happy to know that i liked it at all. and a positive comment of any kind can convey that and make an author's day.

All that being said!!! I would never expect a comment from any reader. I love them when i get them but I don't expect them, and I definitely wouldn't want someone worrying about what to say, or to be stressed over leaving a comment. I want my fics to be enjoyed in whatever way makes the reader feel most at ease.

#asked and answered #rowing and chatting #thank you anon #i feel you btw #i used to comment on every single fic i read #and then i went through a massive commenting block #and got all worked up about leaving comments #and instead i just stopped reading??? #which was Not It #pls don't worry abt being annoying anon #my heart goes out to you for feeling like that #but truly every author i know appreciates nice comments!

Wuvvy, burn.

#i am UNWELL #like i love dimension 20 #but after i watched acofaf i read every single ruehob fic i could get my grubby hands on #and then watched bridgerton #and then watched a ton of compilations of acofaf again #i think wuvvy is such an interesting character #i'd absolutely draw a ton of rue and hob and ruehob but i haven't worked out owlbears or bugbears yet frfr #i draw 95% miku this is hard #ACOFAF #a court of fey and flowers #dimension 20 #wuvvy #i'm almost done with mentopolis but i might fucking go back and watch acofaf again #aabria really popped off with that one #i'm not uploading this one to insta cause it's too rough #but i wanted to yell in the tags about my brainworm sorry

[tenpintsof-sundrop]

Desperately yearning for the days back when if 15 people read and liked your fic, you would get 15 comments.

These days, if 200 people read and like your fic, you are lucky to get 5 or 10 comments. And that just seems so off.

I hate to say it, but back when fanfiction communities were smaller, they were a lot kinder.

#sundrop speaks #and like i am INCREDIBLY thankful for every single comment that i do get #repeat commenters i love you #people who always show up to read my fics I LOVE YOU #but this is just a statement on the fact that so many people these days don't pay any consideration to fanfiction writers #people who are 'embarrassed' to read fanfiction and therefore feel like they have to hide it #so they treat fanfiction writers like they are trash #and i just don't understand how my fanfiction can have a generally high note count but it feels so LONELY #i miss the sense of COMMUNITY #i would much rather if my fic had 10 notes but those notes felt like a warm party #fanfiction #ao3

Tim sucked in the tiniest breath through his teeth as the thread pulled through his skin.

“Almost done,” Jason said.

“I’m fine, Jason.” Tim rolled his eyes. He could handle a few stitches. It wasn’t the first time he’d caught the sharp end of a knife, and it wouldn’t be the last.

“I know. You hate that part, though.” The quiet snip of scissors against thread cut through the following silence.

Tim’s lip twitched down in the corner. They’d been working together for a few months, getting closer than they ever were, but Tim hadn’t needed stitches in that time, so he wasn’t sure how Jason knew that. He hummed in agreement, just to fill the silence.

Then the sound of a bandage tearing open came out from behind him, and then Jason’s thumb and forefinger were pressing gently to his skin, framing the wound. The touches were light, warm, softer than Tim had known Jason was capable of, and he had to repress a little pleased noise as he smoothed the bandage into place.

“Alright, looks good.” Jason’s fingers slid a few inches down his back, slowly dragging down his skin, before they pulled away.

Tim’s gaze dropped to the undershirt in his lap, his forearms still threaded through it. After a moment’s consideration, he chucked it away instead of pulling it back on, falling back against the couch with a sigh. He closed his eyes for a few breaths, trying to shove down the warm feeling in his gut. When he opened them again, Jason’s gaze was resting on his torso.

“Like what you see?” fell out of Tim’s mouth, the words as dry as his tongue.

[stylesharrys]

please reblog the fics you enjoy. writers thrive off feedback, it shows that you cared and enjoyed their work enough to send them a message about it. we love every single ask or comment we receive!! and when you reblog those works, you’re sharing it with a whole new audience of people who could enjoy it as much as you did. reblogs and feedback matter more to writers than you’ll ever realise 🤍

#I adore every single one of you guys that read my works #even more so when you interact with the fics and tell me what you enjoyed #as a writer #we want to hear your thoughts #and how it made you feel #pls reblog the stuff you like #not only does it then reach other people #but it shows us writers you enjoyed it enough to SHARE it with other people

[thedevillionaire]

Hi, I hope this is all right asking like this. I found your blog and fics recently and they're amazing, I love them. I was wondering, do you have a meet cute for Ceberus and Kia, and if you don't is that something you would maybe consider writing some time? Thank you!

Hey, anon, and thank you back for the lovely compliment! ❤️ So...I do have a meet cute - well, a meet, anyway; you get to decide whether it's cute or not, I guess 😅 - but it's vanilla, I'm afraid. This is not the first time I've been asked about how they met, though, so I'm finally activating the "vanilla fic holding place" sideblog I've thought about activating for, uh...quite a while. Anyhow, if you've got any interest in that at all, I actually have a whole series of this stuff and if you still want to check it out you can find the fic of first time they meet here.

#i'm not going to use this sideblog for anything other than a place to put vanilla fics #i'm not after a wider non-snz audience for this #but anyway if you'd like to take a further step into my ridiculous world i'd be fucking honoured and delighted #the crimson charisma is the 'official' title of my supernatural soap opera #not that it matters really because it's not a proper novel or anything and is almost certainly never going to be one #but it has a name nonetheless so...there it is #A few of you have read this already and I love every single one of you 💗💗💗 #i'll put links to any further vanilla postings in my masterlist and make a post about it being there #so i'll just post on the sideblog and post directions to it here #because i have more of this stuff but i don't want to post a bunch of vanilla stuff on snzblr #also not that it's likely but please don't reblog the vanilla stuff outside of snzblr #not snz

[closetsof-backlogged-dreams]

stop why dont more people talk about the merlin fandom and its obsession with pairing up the most random side characters😭😭 lets be so real here weve all seen the will/freya, will/gwen, will/sophia, i saw will/lancelot once, or vivian/percival, or elyan/freya, or elena/gwaine, and personally i think its the best thing about this fandom

#every single time i read one of those long fics w enough characters to fill a football team #it always gives me the most insane pairings #but they always work?? #like perfectly?? #idk what it is but this fandom just pops off every time #i want a scientific explanation for this phenomenon pls #merlin #bbc merlin #merthur #bbcm #merlin bbc

begging people to know that tagging your selfie with a fandom tag is not how it works around here. And So Annoying

#you will get reported for spam #stuff #also hello yes you are gorgeous but. Your Wonderful Face is not what i am looking for when i am searching for band photos or gifs #while i am ranting: Please Fic Writers- #Learn What A Read More Is #once again your fic is lovely but i am not always in the mood to scroll through it when in the tag #i am done now thank you for reading 👍 #every single time i reblog or post shit like this i feel like an old man...
