#i don't understand tags

[eternallytired17]

My dudes, let your fave Fanfiction writers know you love and miss them.

I literally got my shit together and wrote a new chapter for my 50+ chapter long incomplete fanfiction after not updating in two years, just because I got a new review from a reader who said they missed me and hoped I was okay.

Your reviews matter, we cherish them, and they can bring your fave Fanfiction writers back from the dead.

hi there! i'm bunny and i'm new here so i thought i'd introduce myself!

i joined tumblr because my friends are here and they are all magnificent writers and i wanted to jump in on the fun :) i've been quietly working on a st4 fix-it/rewrite for months and, as i tend to do, i've buried it in google docs and kept it to myself but since my friends are so brave and actually post what they write, i thought "hey, creating a tumblr and forcing myself to interact with other people might just be the exact kind of people pressuring i need to actually finish this mammoth of a fic" so here i am, telling you about it in order to feel guilty that it's out there and forcing myself to actually write it

so, what am i writing and what can you expect from me?

i am currently working on chapter 10 of small town which is, as i've mentioned, a st4 fix-it/rewrite that focuses on this idea: what if hawkins didn't split in four in march 1986? what if vecna waited to attack until, i don't know, a canonically important date a few months later? i'm using this fic as a character exploration of the elder hellfire club members through the eyes of our protagonist, dottie (bear with me), who moved to hawkins a few months ago and is recruited into hellfire by a desperate dustin after a spring break where lucas never rejoined the party and is actually quite upset with his former friends.

what i wanted to do with small town was something the duffer brothers seem averse to doing: having their characters face consequences. it is a love story between eddie and dottie, but ultimately, romantic love is not the only kind of love that matters: this is about the friendships and bonds that bind the party to one another and make them want to risk their lives when the time comes.

here are random things i've been toying with that i think you might enjoy: eddie and wayne's relationship and how they came to live together, eddie and chrissy finding comfort in their secret smoke sessions in the woods, giving a name to the unnamed freak!, seeing more of corroded coffin and giving those three boys a personality and a life of their own, eddie and dottie bonding over mourning a parent you didn't really get to meet, dustin being the actual heart of the party (move over mike, you're not that special here), lots of bantering and shitty dialogue, references to 80s music (and broadway musicals!), idiots in love, highly researched details like hourly weather details and period appropriate kool-aid flavours, eddie graduating?, eddie surviving!, giving trauma to everyone post-vecna and reinforcing the idea that a support system doesn't make said trauma go away, but it does make it lighter to deal with.

if this sounds like something you'd be on board with, please please please let me know and come talk to me about it! i've got so much info stored in my brain about this story and i've been waiting until i finish writing to post it, but seeing how long this is taking, maybe actually talking to people about it will make the words come to me faster. i've got a very detailed outline (this is a long one! i'm expecting +30 chapters!), hella headcanons and a job that allows me to dick around on the internet at all times.

thank you for reading this far and i hope to see you around! i'd love to make new friends on this app <3

The lovely @Mercy_Run has been so kind as to allow me to commission a multi-chapter SpicyKustard fic: 'Untamed Sentiment'!

[CW: ABO, 18+, monster racism, size difference, future preg]

Summary:

When Queen Toriel had announced unexpected guests, Sans hadn't realized just how unanticipated the monsters truly were. The skeleton knew they were an anomaly, rougher versions of himself and his brother. What he hadn't expected was both of them to be Alphas. To top it all off, Edge and Red seem to be very interested in courting him, a rare Omega.

Welp, this was going to be a fascinating experience. It's not like Sans wasn't already keeping an eye on the tentative peace Frisk was brokering with the humans. Sans would entertain the odd notion. It's not like anything could come out of it, right?

Love from friends

I’m a freshman in college. Basically a sophomore because it’s finals week (fuck finals!). I’ve learned as I’ve grown older that you need friends who support you. You would think that’s obvious. No, you don’t realize your friends aren’t supporting you until you have friends who do support you. 

Throughout your life you don’t realize what makes a good friend. I’m not here to lecture you on what a good friend is or isn’t. But let me tell you it’s nice to hear that a friend would go to war for you.  And hearing two upperclassmen argue on whose freshman you are and willing to “go to court” over ‘parental’ rights. And having a senior who you don’t know really at all remarking that they will be your godparent. And a senior who has worked with you through only two plays and she buys you a book and writes a insanely nice inscription in it, and treats you like a little sister. And friends who hype up your instagram posts. And friends who know they fucked up by not talking you for over a year and understanding that they can’t make up for it, but still willing to be back in your life. Friends who worry about the fact you’ve not eaten dinner. Friends willing to send letters from across the world. Friends who are in a different time zone right there for you during panic attacks. I thought I knew what a friend was, but all of these people have taught me that it’s something more than just sending memes and hanging out together. They’ve taught me how to be a better person. I’ve grown so much as a person thanks to these people. I may not know how to console a crying person, but I’m there checking up on them when I can see the signs that they’re not okay.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

#spilled ink #warm up #“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol #btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can #run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her #but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like. #ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone! #like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate'' #we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!

[descendant-of-truth]

Shipping is fun and all but I swear every single time someone makes a comment, whether as a joke or in a legitimate analysis, about there being "no other explanation" for a pair's interactions, I lose just a bit more of my sanity

Like, no, you guys don't get it. Romance is not about the Amount of devotion, it's about the COLOR. the FLAVOR of it all. a character can be just as devoted to their platonic friend as they are to their romantic partner, and they don't love either of them more, just differently.

But because the majority of people still have it stuck in their minds that romance exists on the highest tier of love, I'm stuck seeing endless takes that boil down to "these two care about each other too much for it to NOT be romantic" as if that's the core determining factor to how literally any of this works

In conclusion: stop telling me that I don't understand the story if I don't interpret the leads as romantic, I am TIRED

#analysis #meta #miscellaneous #fandom #shipping #media discussion #amatonormativity #lgbtq #I feel like tagging any of the fandoms I was thinking of when writing this would be a little mean-spirited potentially #Disclaimer: no one has actually been telling me personally that I don't understand any story in particular #It's just that the way people tend to phrase their analyses feels unnecessarily targeted at the reader and that's just. not great #even if I agree with every other point they make
