I think this might be my new magnum opus

I think what makes Goncharov so compelling is that it combines some of what I like to call Tumblr's Greatest Hits.

1. Fandoms overanalyzing properties in ways the creators never intended or could even comprehend. (See: miles long meta posts, Cas is Lamp, homoerotic angst read into action/comedy content like Pacific Rim or the MCU)

2. inventing something extra-canonical and acting like it is an actual part of canon. (See: Glup Shitto, TAZ Grad's Bingus debacle, BBC Sherlock's Sebastian Moran as played by Michael Fassbender)

3. the ages old tumblr experience of only learning about a property via gifsets and fandom textposts that end up on your dashboard (See: people thinking Destiel was another angel, thinking Destiel was canon ages ago, knowing inside jokes for fandoms despite never watching whatever the fandom is based around)

And lastly,

4. Making fun of non-tumblr users by way of making fun of tumblr users (See: simply saying things like Horse Plinko Eeby Deeby Blorbo lil meow meow Super Hell)

All of these have combined into a mass hallucination of a film that has not ever existed and yet has a cast, plot, director, release date, narrative themes, subtext, ships, fan theories, etc. This shit is incredible

Very interesting (concerning) that while there’s a general consensus of “of course there’s queer Muslims and Jews and Christians we love them!” But that love is conditional. You can be religious but not too religious. You can be spiritual as long as it’s not actually that important to you. You can be observant of your religion’s dogma and traditions as long as you keep it away from everybody else.

But I don’t want to cut myself into smaller pieces. I don’t want to take a part of my life and culture and being and hide it away behind closed doors. It’s just…hypocritical and disappointing when people, who clamor about their love for the contradictory and self-authentic, hate when they’re confronted with it.

#tower of babble #catholic #lgbt #side b #sorry I saw a very good post pointing out the way queer Jews are often cited with the caveat that they’re not observant Jews #and how there are queer observant Jews but I didn’t want to derail so I made my own post #because fuckin hell how often do you see white queers telling queer Muslim women to stop wearing their hibjabi (unless it’s for ~cultural~ #purposes). it’s disgusting and demeaning to assume queer people don’t have deeply meaningful spiritual lives. #side b Christians 🤝 observant queer Jews 🤝 devout queer Muslims #me. happily trans and gay: I’m so happy and blessed to have this body and life - #homo/transphobes: you’re going to hell you’re evil you’re stupid you’re faking it #me: huh. oh. um. well I’m still blessed because I know you are not speaking with Christ in your heart- #a surprising number of self proclaimed radicals: uhhhh please don’t acknowledge that you’re Christian it makes us. uncomfortable. #me: …being uncomfortable and confused about others is the pride of Pride? the queer community thrives on contradiction and self definition? #anyways. prof put my pronouns down as he/she/they on the syllabus and I am popping the biggest gender affirming bottles tonight #(praying a chaplet and eating rice like the grad student peasant I am)

uhhHHHh shut up i definitely posted this on valentines day

[ID: A sketchbook doodle of Apollo Justice and Klavier Gavin from Ace Attorney, colored digitally. They are depicted from the waist up, kissing. Klavier’s body is angled toward the viewer, with one hand on Apollo’s waist and the other across the back of his shoulders. Apollo is turned towards him within his embrace, one hand holding the bicep of the arm Klavier has around his waist. Both have their eyes closed and are smiling into the kiss. /End ID]

but maybe if a rich femme scooped me up and saved me from it all?

thinking so many thoughts about rust saying he spent a month in Paris getting drunk on the steps of montmartre or whatever it was

#rust cohle #euro love affair maybe???????!!! #dear god i hope so #or was he there doing undercover shit #or both! #anyways im obsessed with the idea of him in france in the 80s #lounging by the seine with a bottle of rosé reading camus and sartre #flopping about being all sulky and tragic like he does except it's in a 20-something guy on a gap year way so it's basically normal #the way guys exactly like him probably would've been ten a penny in that context 😭😂 heeeeaving with backpacking grads and shit lmao #he would've gotten away with acting like that sooo easy he would've gotten b*tches!!! #also this is pre most of the tragedy in his life so im choosing to believe he was in the club back then #dancing like a wild boy to italo disco beats #crack but w/e #god if i was intelligent enough to write rust cohle I'd write the hell out of this

[taohun]

IT'S SO FUCKING OVER.

[washymylifeaway]

hi rye how have you been spending your time LET ME TELL YOU.

kavetham? haikaveh? idk idc but them..

for starters i just want to put out there that if kavetham is my sakuatsu then cynonari is the sunaosa because i love them and if the bestie agenda isn't alive between at least one pair in the four i get so sad. anyways kavetham has taken over my ao3 and it's so bad LOL. this is mostly for me because i like having consolidated lists of fics i've read to go back to but i'll be kind and give the tumblrinas (?) a little taste too. anyways list under the cut also don't follow me for genshin i'm not a genshin girlie (famous last words)

pre warning, i think it goes without saying that there's like alcohol mentioned in like almost every single fic.. kaveh is (apparently but what would i know) not the healthiest when it comes to coping habits so .. forgive him..

check the warnings and the tags before you read!

truck, barter, and trade by Seungshi03 (T) 20.7k // when i tell you if you're going to read one fic on this list it should be this one. the humor. the plot. the kid. this needs to be framed and immortalized. they're so stupid they're so silly THEY'RE SO IN LOVE

rumors, fame, and reputation by rysarium (T) 27k // THIS. READ IT PLEASE. it's so so funny and very entertaining. you go from loving them to wanting to punch them so bad to loving them again. i will say i thought it was so unfair for kaveh to get the movie wrong because technically he heard it from source so what there was an interview 1034209384 years ago let al-haitham lie in peace (ALSO CYNO IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN YOURE SO FUNNY KING SPEAK YOUR TRUTH)

The Fall, the Rise, and Everything In-between by writingrosez (T) 22.9k // i really did dread the divorce arc in this one i knew it was coming but i really was hoping it wouldn't but it happened (when i say i verbally said NO so many times while reading this LMFAO embarrassing.. i'd do it again...) also poor lumine LMFAO

if i wake up and you're still here by alcyonenight (M) 8.4k // no because why did this fic literally have me punching my screen (completely real) while i was reading it. they both are so silly and dear to me (said in tears) but i love the hanahaki trope so bad and this was *chefs kiss*

burn up, burn out by alcyonenight (T) 8.6k AND pockets full of stones by alcyonenight (T) 11.6k // ELEAZAR AU!!! baby's first eleazar fic and it ruined her. miserably. i loved both of these so much, wonderful reads truly (they both made me so sad)

get on your nerves (to get your attention) by acynthe (M) 3.9k // what better way to get to know a character than by reading him pine over one person for way too long? right? anyways this fic really set me up into understanding that haikaveh = watching ice melt in the arctic during winter..

Work engagement by gwendee (G) 3.6k // silly little boys in their silly little parties with their silly little plans.. the line that stuck with me was bringing their love to new heights because cyno was right.. it was funny..

and yet by luminvies (G) 11.8k // this fic was so poetic and eloquent to me it was a wonderful read and kaveh is so silly girlie pop in it HAHA. but really, it was a wonderful read and i loved how fleshed out kaveh felt despite this being written before he was released LMFAO

In a Language He Understands by Maeyari (G) 13.2k // this was so funny and Kaveh becoming a homewrecker is so insane whaat (totally not fake and not clickbait) that aside, it was a very light hearted read and i enjoyed it very much

what are we by lionkeychain (T) 5.1k // if i had to re route you to Kaveh being the silliest dude alive it's this one right here. i would send you here. he is so . i am so . about him. AHHHHHHHHHH. anyways, he's just a dude with a lot of love ykwim?

inertia by smallghosts (T) 3.6k // i think it's funny how al-haitham plays fetch with Kaveh in like 85% of fics (this one included) anyways the summary was so funny i just had to read it and in context it's even funnier to me. Kaveh you're so funny ily king ('being in love with you is gross.' me: HELPDKLNLEEE?GLD>SD>? literal definition of boom roasted).

first love, worst love by caniculeo (M) 11.6k // babe wake up. the circus is back in town. babe go back to sleep. the girlies broke up.. again.. anyways. had to take a laugh break when al-haitham hit on nilou. literally put my device down and had to catch my breath. then when kaveh pointed behind al-haitham. oh god. ALSO highly recommend the second fic in the series with cynonari. cyno i love u my funny king.

Burgeon by gloomyparfait (T) 8.2k // another hanahaki fic rye? really? YES. please i love irrationality. they're so chewable in this fic i love them dearly. i need to blend them. mince them up like beef tartare.

okay this is not an extensive list (def missed some good ones i've read) and i have more i want to consume (!!!) but i haven't gotten around to some of the longer ones just cause my attention span is bad these days. i'm very excited for some of my future reads and so perhaps there will be a part two because i am down in the trenches right now. regardless, i hope you enjoyed this list and now it's time for me to disappear again. bye bye

also if you've written a fic on this list and you would prefer for it to not be on this list/on tumblr, just lmk and i'd be more than happy to remove you!

#genshin impact #kavetham #haikaveh #genshin fic recs #do i even know how to tag #i sure as hell don't know what to tag LMFAO #anyways don't expect me on here very much btw i'm just here to dump this and then i will skidaddle away #i will queue this for tomorrow sometime and then poof washy rye is inactive and no more once again #i always think about how my last post was such a lie LMFAO it makes me laugh i'm ngl #also i've been thinking about playing genshin again though as bad of an idea as that seems #like i really shouldn't because i'm busy with other things but alsooooooo #i SHOULD be doing grad school apps (the horrors) but instead here i am twiddling my thumbs with ao3 fanfics.. #also you can't tell me otherwise but kavetham is so sakuatsu coded it's crazy i love them #anyways this list is a crazy way to start the school year off LMFAO my goodbye to summer ig

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes.

The Witcher

The Tale of Jaskier's Grudge Against Historians (and how they gave him his happy ending anyway) by notebooksandlaptops

[Text Sent From Ciri] Is there a reason why a love letter to Yen and Geralt is in the British Museum signed from you?? -C [Text Sent to Ciri] Because Historians are nosey pricks. Do NOT tell your parents. -J [Text Sent From Ciri] ;) – C The winking face of a semicolon and a bracket stared up at him, composed of unforgiving pixels. She wouldn’t, would she? No. No. She couldn’t. She wouldn’t. She wouldn’t. -///- Or, an exploration of the reason (immortal) Jaskier hates historians (hint: it's because they keep stealing his shit and putting it on display)

To Sleep Perchance To by sospes

Jaskier gets kidnapped and tortured. Geralt comes to rescue him.

Except it's not quite that simple.

Stranger Things

What a Way to Make a Living by Silvercyclops_Shit

“Dustin? Are you home?” Oh god, why wasn’t he home yet? Just as the panic set in, a car pulled in and a short kid jumped out. Steve’s body sagged in relief before he strode to the door and pulled it open. “DUSTIN HARRINGTON!” “Oh shit!”

sub-culture by palmviolet

“Is he whining about Eddie being mean to him again?” Robin is leaning in the doorway, eating a leftover slice that’s probably cold by now. “You talk about him more than you talk about girls, Steve, it’s getting concerning. Anyone would think you had a crush.” or, steve is pretty convinced eddie now hates him. turns out eddie has the opposite problem.

Original Works

so take those lyrics serious (and sing your life away) by PotatoLady

603 is, in the eyes of the law, less than human. Born out of a tube and trained as a soldier, he's fought hard for his freedom; but even the vastness of space with all its stars can become lonely for someone with no place in any world.

Caius is a slave. Disfigured and no longer fit for brothel work, he's unsure what to expect of the half-human creature that, for some strange reason, has bought him. Still, it's nice to not be the only one with scars for once.

By His Merciful Hand by TremblyBird

An omega mage is suffering in the middle of battle, but it isn’t sickness or heat. He doesn’t know what this is at all. He just feels hollow and panicky. So he pulls himself from the conflict to hide away in a ruin, biding his time to calm down. But it only gets worse. He’s shaky and weak, he doesn’t understand why, and it isn’t stopping. And then the alpha commander of the enemy militia finds him. It should spell doom for him, but the other man is suddenly more empathetic than he’s ever seen him. The alpha seems to understand what’s happening to the omega in a way he hasn’t been able to comprehend himself.

He’s starved for kindness, and he’s finally breaking from the lack of it. Merciful to the sight, the enemy commander takes pity and works to soothe the aching omega.

Resigned and Receive by TremblyBird

An exhausted, touch-starved target runs into the arms of his would-be captor—desperate for touch, warmth, and comfort—and he’s hopeless to find it anywhere else. Luckily for him, the man is more than willing to fulfill those needs. Tonight, he’ll be touched and gently handled until he finally feels comfortable and safe enough to indulge his most intimate desires.

DC (Batfamily)

If I Asked (Would I Receive?) by Miss_Lazy_Tuesday

Tim gets dosed with a knock-off truth serum that lowers his inhibitions and he ends up admitting a few distressing things to his brothers. It’s just plotless emotional hurt/comfort, heavy on the snuggles.

Love Is Violence by Miss_Lazy_Tuesday

Tim gets drugged at a gala and Jason has No Chill. Negative Chill, in fact. Approaching Absolute Zero Chill.

Hey, Brother, There's an Endless Road to Rediscover by TheSilencer

"Someone needs to go with him." Diana said. "She's a goddess of family. Her blessing will come from the strength of his familial ties." All the more reason I should go. Damian thought. Bruce and Dick shared a long look. Perhaps to the others in the room, it was a fast, indecipherable look, but Damian caught the pull of Dick's mouth and the tightness to his father's jaw. However, it was Bruce that said "Red Hood and Red Robin." Damian's eyes widened. Grayson was as good as dead. (Or the one where Dick's brothers manage to royally piss off an ancient deity that sends them careening through memories he'd rather they didn't see.)
