Wtf did you put on my timeline 😀
Since the history of Y/N stories, the reader ALWAYS had a backstory. I fail to see how this suddenly makes Y/N a OC. The same goes for gender. Usually in the description or first sentence you would immediately know Y/N’s gender. It’s nice to be inclusive but you can’t force the author to cater to a specific demographic.
I will admit though: I LOATHE when a author enforces a skintone onto Y/N without mentioning it in the beginning. The fact this stuff is rarely tag is pretty annoying. If authors have to tag their fanfic with “POC!Reader” to point out that reader is meant to have a ethnic background, for the love of god please do the same if the reader is meant to be interpreted as white. Nothing puts me out of a story when I envisioned a character to fit the story only to see them described as “pale, fair skinned” by the narrator several paragraphs later.
There is a really nice plugin for AO3 where it can replace pronouns and fill in the Y/N slot with an actual name. It would be nice if such a plugin existed for tumblr. Authors won’t have to give into obligations and those who feel alienated can still enjoy the work.
PLEASEEEEEE AJFHASIUDFHU IF I HAD TO SEE IT YOU GUYS ALL HAVE TO TOO. i am a firm believer of sharing is caring <3
EXACTLY, like especially for authors who do long fics or series, giving reader 0 personality/no background story is next to impossible unless you just want them to like ... be there and take no initiative in the story and just have things happen to them and for them to have no reaction to anything. like even in smut and headcanons, there are going to be little things you can pick out personality-wise, its next to impossible to just have a cardboard cut out reader for any type of fic, much less long fics/series. someone will always disagree with something <- but tee explained this all better in her long rb addition to that post
AND I TOTALLY AGREE! like they had very valid points about physical appearance and properly tagging gender, but i hate the fact that they added all of those valid points in that mess of an argument of why "x reader fics" should have no personality or background, because i felt as if it was totally taking away from that. it's two totally separate issues that they were trying to combine into one big one but just made an even bigger mess out of it.
for real! ao3's tagging system is top tier like i know a lot of people find it confusing but it's so nice to be able to filter any and everything you want or don't want.

I love you. How do you always manage to answer each and every ask with that same refreshing excitement. I love you. How do you always manage to talk with us anons as if we have always been long time best friends. I love you. How do you always manage to pour your whole soul into every piece of writing. I love you. How do you always manage to alter my brain chemistry everytime I read what you write. I love you. How do you always manage to give me the feels even when I think that nothing could ever touch me anymore. I love you. How do you always manage to make me want to talk to you even though I know nothing about you. I love you. How do you always manage to make me smile every single time I read your rants. I love you. How do you always manage to be the reason for me to look forward to opening Tumblr everyday. I love you, with no ulterior motive, just from human to human because everyones attractive, you included. I simply hope you know that.

char, you're so so strong and i'm proud of you <3 i'm glad dnp and the community can be a source of strength and joy for you and i hope all your problems can get solved soon cause i feel like you're such a genuine and lovely person
aww katie thank you 🥺 i'm doing my best--some days i've only got 30% in me, other days are better. i'm trying to be kind to myself during this time, and one of the best ways, i find, to do that is to share joy. let myself feel excitement and happiness, send that message, buy that thing (within reason, as i'm currently at a place i am able to do so)--and do my best to be present with those around me (especially the ones who do the same for me). we've got a special community here and i'm grateful every day that there are lovely people for me to get to interact with all the time. it's truly an honour and a privilege, and i don't take it for granted 💞

HELLO i have 2 questions: 1. with all the new fob content coming out, any fob blogs you recommend? :) and 2. this is very specific but i’ve been looking for an answer for this for YEARS infinity on high cds came with a set of 5 ioh themed tarot cards—do they still do that if i order the cd? or any idea where i could find them?? sorry this is a lot but thank u in advance!!! love ur blog <3
i have so many blogs i recommend omg!! here are the first ones that came to mind though: @thnksfrthmmrs, @alonetogether, @josephtrohman, @twinkskeletons, @petewentzisblack1312, @lionpaws, @jakeabel, @omegalomania, @andoutofharm, @ohplasticheart, @wintercrash, @bearsonthe405, @youngvolcanoesmp3, @mayhemforthelove, @ybcpatrick, @incribedxlikexstone, & @such-a-happy-mess!!!
As for the tarot cards, i think it reallyyyy depends on where you're ordering from. to my understanding, the tarot cards came with a deluxe edition of the ioh CD, meaning it is a bit rare to come by, doubly meaning that Most of them probably do Not have the tarot cards. However, if you did some digging i'm sure you could find them! I'd highly highly rec looking around on the website discogs, that's where I've found a Lot of rarer fob stuff like this (including my own ioh cd/tarot cards that i found by specifically looking up infinity on high tarot cards discogs or something along those lines). People list stuff on there all the time, so if you can't find someone selling a cd with the card right Now, check back every once in a while!! hope all of this helps mwah <3

it’s hard being the most normal girl on tumblr dot com… every day I scroll past like. cannibalism, wolves with bloody teeth, people with bruises in places that are not considered safe by impact play professionals, and people who listen to car seat headrest. and I just sigh a little bit then continue scrolling. I’m just here for pictures of cats. tumblr is the cute pictures of cats website To Me. at least my mutuals r having fun.
