I hate it when my brain comes up with an exchange between two characters and I can’t decide whether or not I should save it for a story or just cave in and turn it into an incorrect quote

Is it Opposite Day?

Poly!lost boys x GN! reader

Now tonight was like any other night, but Paul caught a wonder scent that he never smelt before on the boardwalk, David was confused on what Paul meant until he swore he got a sniff of something good, the same had happened to Dwayne and marko. All four boys were confused one why this thing whatever it was was causing them to react like this, that’s when it hit David, it’s their mate the one they were never wanting to meet because of this lifestyle. Marko was already gone before David could tell the boys, usually David would be pissed about this but Marko is more chaotic than some would like but if Marko brought back their mate then the boys could talk to them! Dwayne was looking at Paul and David while thinking about all the possibilities that could go wrong with their mate. These poor boys won’t know what to do if they get rejected. Marko on the other hand was having the time of his life with their mate, he was chatting away with them until the flirty comment happened “you know blondie you remind me of a cat, with the way you act. But you know what? You can be my cat if you like.” As (y/n) smirked. The poor boy didn’t know what to do if he was still alive he would turn red as a tomato but he just stood there as (Y/n) started walking away from him. The next night, Paul decided he can get their little mates to blush, oh boy was he wrong. (Y/n) was looking around at some clothes that the twisted sister look alike would love. Paul walked over and started talking to (Y/n) when he did his pickup line, (Y/n) replied with “hmm you seem like a man whore, but you know what why don’t you be my man whore.” With a winked that left Paul not working. The next night Dwayne was sent to get their mate to come to the bikes with him, now Dwayne knew he wouldn’t have trouble getting them to follow since he was quiet, mysterious, tall and dark. Dwayne saw them and started making conversation about the book they had with them, (Y/n) kept on giggling while Dwayne was playing with their (long/short) hair, what Dwayne didn’t expect was (Y/N) saying a pickup line about books with a smirked "Boy, you must be a library book, because I can't stop checking you out." Then they just walked away while Dwayne just stood there confused on what to do so he went back to where David and the others were. David was getting frustrated at this point because their mate was making this harder than needed to be. David decided that tonight he would handle this, when he saw (Y/N) he went up to them smirking while about to say a pick up line that was when (Y/n) smiled back at him “you know? I was looking for an ice prince tonight to spend some time with.” David stood there stunned until (y/n) started walking over to where the boys and their bikes were. (Y/n) looked back at David with a smile asking “so what’s the plan for tonight?” David looked at his boys and smirked when he got them to ride with him to the cave

I’m so sorry for how long this took to come out but here’s one of the stories for you!! @whaturcapableof

Pirate lost boys?? Like David is the captain of the ship and it’s just Dwayne Paul and marko as his crew. Along the way they meet star and laddie they end up joining the crew. David meets Michael and is like “yea this idiot is joining as well” so it’s just them going around causing chaos? Yes? No?

Poly!lost boys x gender neutral reader

For a request maybe poly!lost boys x s/o and how the boys would react to us becoming Laddies mother(or father whatever you’re comfortable with) figure? Sorry, but Laddie is my baby😭

Of course babe you got it!

It was like any other night with the boys and laddie on the boardwalk, while usually Star would have the small boy it was actually (Y/N) who was taking care of him. David didn’t really like the idea of (Y/N) having to take care of the kid while they fed but Star was out with Michael on a date so Dwayne suggested it since laddie loves them more than anything that includes the stuff bear he owns. (Y/N) has been taking care of Laddie since they met the boys in their own way but since that was two weeks ago that they spent time alone with the boy, they decided to have a nice movie night with Laddie. The movie night started out great for the two until (Y/N) realized that it was almost midnight, which was confirmed by a yawning Laddie sitting next to them, they decided to get a hot bath started for the boy so he can wash up and have a decent bath since he lives in a actual cave with four vampires who don’t know how to wash themselves in a tub or shower. Paul was the first one to the house out of the other three, he was sitting on the roof waiting for David, Dwayne and marko to show up, what he wasn’t expecting was his love to walk in with a cleaned Laddie. David and Dwayne ended up showing up when (Y/N) was reading a bedtime story to laddie while Paul was, according to him, feeling his heart beat fast because the love of their life was reading to the kid they all care about. Marko saw the other guys out on the roof while being confused he flew up to the window where the boys were, when he looked inside he saw (Y/N) tucking in Laddie and kissing his forehead goodnight now since the little kid was in their room for the night Marko decided to go and knock on the front door. (Y/N) knew who it was and opened the door, smiling when they saw their favorite curly blonde boyfriend who decided to give them a kiss on the cheek. After the curly blonde was the twisted sister look alike who they just absolutely love that tried to get a make out session out of them, after their twisted sister came their mysterious, tall, quiet boyfriend who is looking at them with so much adoration in his eyes who gave (Y/N) a forehead kiss. The platinum blonde who never showed that much affection out on the boardwalk on nights they were there looked at them then smirked before giving his favorite kitten a kiss on the cheek. That night, well morning, was spent in the room with blackout curtain with a mattress on the floor to fit all five bodies on it for a cuddle session while the boys were smiling like crazy because of how much love they can feel coming off of their mate for the small boy in the next room. Dwayne was the happiest out of the three because the boy he cares so much for now had another parental figure in his life. David, Paul and marko had one thing in common in their one little brain cell they shared, a baby with their mate. For now though watching their mate take care of Laddie was enough for the four vampires who had fallen asleep listening to the heartbeat of the love of their life.

Hope you like it @smenny ! It sucks because it’s been a while since I had done anything fanfic wise but still

My #1 post of 2022

Runaway bat

Poly!lost boys x Gn!reader

It was a normal night for the boys and Y/N while normally the group of five would be making jokes and figuring out what to do for the night. David had decided that night would be a perfect night to catch an attitude with Max before returning back to the group of four. Y/N was having the time of her life with the three boys, before David came back, but realized all of their moods changed from the normal moods while the poor thing didn’t realize what was happening David was walking over with the grumpy look he usually wore. David took one look at Y/N and sighed then went back to smoking his cigarette while Y/N wondered what could be wrong until they heard those words they weren’t ready to hear from her mates “I think it's time for you to turn.” The three other boys just nodded along with what David said to them, Dwayne stood there next to Y/N who in turn pushed the brunette away from them. Paul had decided to try and talk until Y/N spoke their mind “you know I’m not ready to turn yet David, you all know I’m not ready to turn, Hell I don’t even think I am ready!” Marko stood chewing on his gloved thumb while looking at the one they all care for but he didn’t know what to do or how to handle it. Poor boys, after Y/N had walked away from the group and went straight home, what they didn’t expect was the four following them home to make sure they got there safely. After the boys saw their little bat get home safely they all went back to the cave and went back to the area they all sleep in during the day. Unknowingly to the four sleeping vampire their mate were packing, they packed four suitcases with clothes and shoes and grabbed their keys, Y/N decide they were going to spend some time away from the boys so they are going to another state and spending time with her family in New Orleans while the boys decided to handle the situation on their own. The next night David, Dwayne, Paul and Marko all went to Y/N house to go and get them for the night but before any of them got their Dwayne to notice something was off, he couldn’t hear Y/N heart beat. Paul ran up to the door and started knocking when Y/N didn’t answer. He looked for the spare key that they told the boys where it was, Marko went up to the bedroom window and looked at the emptiness of the room. Marko floated back down over to David with sadness in his hazel eyes “they’re not home and everything looks empty I think they left David…” which caused David to look over at Dwayne who had a note in his hands. Y/N left for New Orleans and won't be back until the boys learn that they aren’t ready to turn yet. David growled at the fact that Y/N decided to run away, but he held sadness in his eyes. Dwayne spoked up “So riding to New Orleans now? Or wait until later?” With that David smirked while pulling a cigarette pack out of his coat “we ride tomorrow boys, we ride tomorrow. For now let’s go and get some dinner shall we?” This had all three boys hollering with joy.

Sorry for posting this so late and for it being short this is for @whaturcapableof so sorry for it being this late!

I know this is going to sound pretentious but I do think that the concept of fandom as it exists today in part fuels a lot of the really rigid and, in my opinion, childish ways people engage with works. I'm thinking specifically of the question I got earlier this week about violence, but it's definitely not the only aspect.

Social media fandom often rewards a lack of context. This isn’t new nor exclusive to social media, to be fair; AUs, in which the entire point is to strip out context, have been popular for a long time. But social media certainly makes it easier. Twitter, by design, cannot provide much context. But even longer form places like Tumblr are usually dominated by art or gifs, which may or may not actually engage with what’s happening in the work and which can only provide a moment or so from it. It’s very easy to only relive the highlights, or even a version that never existed. (I’ve seen some wild gif edits.)

Social media can also lead to the phenomenon of people getting into a fandom, more so than getting into the work, and I do think this is a newer thing in that entering into fandom in the earlier days of the internet, or even pre-internet, required a much more significant effort. Today, though, in really extreme cases you get people who only engage with fandom and not with the original in some kind Plato’s allegory of the cave hellscape, and in doing so perpetuate fanon over canon, and because they are in the end fans of fandom, not the work, everything they touch sort of swirls into a bland universal fanon that they overlay onto whatever they see. And because that fanon is meant to cover everything it applies rules that were never meant to apply to the originals.

There’s also a sense of belonging that people like with fandom; but again, if you start with the intent to get into the fandom, you aren’t here for the work itself and that, I think, is where people start feeling betrayed by the work or angry at it for not fitting an idea in their head. There’s a great post outlining, theoretically, exactly how this would happen for The Cask of Amontillado.

That, I think, is why people get so angry at the concept of violence in a work. I mean yeah some of it is privilege/conservative upbringings that they haven’t properly interrogated/the whole other can of worms that is how social media engages with mental health and personal responsibility, but I do think a huge factor is people saw a piece of fluffy art or an incorrect quote, said “this is for me!” without looking into the context or the genre, and then are furious that this was a picture not indicative of the larger themes (or even a picture of something that never happened in the original) because this was supposed to be comfort media! It was supposed to represent them! But it’s not, and it never was.

None of this is to say that art or gifs or memes or even divergence from canon in your fan works are bad. I like those things a lot! It’s just that it’s astoundingly easy to only look at the fan works to the point of ignoring what’s actually happening, and then being blindsided by what is actually happening coming to its logical conclusion. It's deciding to watch a movie because of the blooper reel and then being mad that there's more to it than that.

This ties into something I’ve said before about people focusing on the wrong aspect of recognized problems (”I don’t like labels”, fridging, bury your gays, “Strong Female Characters”). All of those are problems when they’re a dominant trend, but, well, they require a lot of context to properly understand, both in terms of the specific work, and also in terms of the genre and the historical cultural context in which they were developed and you can't just throw those words out to mean "a thing I don't like is happening".

All of this is a long way to say that you can like what you like, but you look like an idiot when you get mad at something for being exactly what it said it would be. If you don’t want a story with violence, then you’re going to have to actually put in the work to find stories without violence instead of glomming on to whatever has some art or memes you like and then clutching your pearls when it’s more than just those memes.

#whenever people reblog a post i have that covers the tiniest aspect and are like what is this from? i'm interested! i full body cringe #like first. check the tags and notes. second are you interested in this work or did you just see a single tiny trope you like #bc believe me i'm looking at my library books and bookshelf right now #and like. i could spin some entirely truthful and yet wholly misleading things about these books in tumblr-ese #you have to put in the work #you cannot pick things up and say This Will Be What I Want and make it true #long post #on fandom
