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.

#— asks #could you guys imagine heliotropes!reader just not having any background or personality like #how would that even work #THERE WOULD BE NO STORY #anyway i am so convinced i have the best lil community on my blog i love u all so dearly #every time i see posts like this it reminds me how lucky i am that i have you guys and not people like that who just consume consume consum #and expect everything to be perfectly tailored to what they find relatable #you guys actually appreciate my LITERARY GENIUS AND PLOTS #<- thats a joke by the way #but #kind of i'm glad you guys read and appreciate the plot AND the character of heliotropes!reader because ive been pretty vocal about the fact #that i was nervous about giving her agency and background and personality specifically because i knew that there were people with this #viewpoint who are like radically against x reader fics with fleshed out readers but you guys literally made me so confident and happy with #your feedback and appreciation for it :') so thank u #i feel like i don't thank u guys enough i should #wow this got a little sappy #but ily guys #tw discourse

listen. now that the "ghosts come from the river of souls" theory is probably dead... what if... ghosts come from the witness' people? it would be neat bc it would explain how it can speak through them but im not sure there is a way this could work

#i know the traveler creates life but its never conscious life i dont think? #which is why i dont think ghosts arent entirely a traveler's creation #bc light doesnt give consciousness right? #but at the same time #how would that even work #the ghosts not being wholly of the light #first i thought river of souls #as in #maybe the traveler just yoinked souls from the river and stuffed them in little shells #tada #but i thought that when i thought the witness came from the river of souls #so #not sure now #i just cant figure out how the logistics of witness ppl = ghosts #since they all died #right? #destiny 2 #ren.txt #ren.wtf

Vee would be absolutely ecstatic at the existence of glyphs, the possibility of doing magic without having to drain someone for it? No pain, death, and all those horrible memories and just a piece of paper and a vial of King’s blood!

After it’s all said and done and there’s a permanent portal I know one of Vee favorite desserts would be a ice glyph ice cream

#the owl house #vee noceda #vee the basilisk #toh vee #vee toh #vee #I mean putting some juice in the ice cream #otherwise it’s just frozen water #how would that even work #putting a taste in the glyph I mean

? is the implication here that sam’s sperm transcended time and space because abigail had a daughter that’s like biologically his and not the guy he leaped into ?????????

#what #ql thoughts #like did i hear that right #did he say that’s actually sam’s daughter because her iq is insane #how would that even work

suddenly multiple different alternate universes, multiple different alternate timelines, multiple different alternate realities, and multiple different alternate dimensions got merged back together once more just how it was meant to be forever no matter what.

No

twitter no longer gets my wips bc of the views update.... so now tumblr must see my babygirl drawings <3

i think that compared to how much he's gotten injured, nassim's pretty scar-free since usually he has access to good medical technology... the only scars he has are things he got either before meeting kaveh, or somewhere where there was no medical tools available for a long time

#coriolisposting #i tried to make him a bear but.... that didnt happen #rip #mmm i keep trying to think of ways his botched cybernetics would affect him #but ALSO. coriolis cybernetics make no fucking sense #'weatherproof' halves metabolism and water consumption #which would imply a total overhaul of the entire fucking body #which to ME sounds like bioengineering. but NO! theyre cybernetics!!! #how would that even work #gives me a headache

Fictober day 04 : "How would that even work?"

Prompt number: 03 "How would that even work?”

Fandom: Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Paring: Qui Gon Jinn/Obi Wan Kenobi

Rating: Gen

Word count: 100

Warnings: No Warnings Apply

It's been three years, or maybe four since Obi Wan was knighted and sent in the galaxy for his first rotation. 

It's been two days since Obi Wan set foot in the temple again. The padawan Qui Gon knew is gone. In his place stands a man, long haired and bearded, settled in the Force and in his body.

In short, he's devastatingly stunning.

It's been an hour, and a few seconds since Qui Gon has begun wondering how he ended up considering kissing his former padawan.

"How would that even work?"

"Why don't you kiss me and find out?"
