#i wanna put tag this in some fandom i'm in to talk with somebody about this

[masked-and-doomed]

NEW ME NEW INTRO!!

Hello, I'm Kat/Kats (or Yomotsu), I had a blog previous to this but I accidentally deleted it! It went by the same url as now, "yomotsu-hirasaka". If you've followed me in the past and now just finding my blog again, apologies! I had like 20-ish mutuals and 130~ followers so. Yeah sorry about that.

Discord: thatonekats

👆 just in case. Tumblr explodes. Talk to me if you wanna ig (I am not good at conversing. So. Keep that in mind.)

Suspected BPD, have been diagnosed autistic. I will feel things very intensely either forever or feel nothing about it in the next hour max. You may see vague vent posts. Every now and then. Check the tagging system to block em out.

I am deeply in love and sickly affectionate for 4 men. They're my boyfriends, girlfriends, besties- our relationship? Is uhh whatever man. It's love. It's love. (Also not the best fathers but hey I take what I can get)

First two being Yomotsu Hirasaka (pfp), and Takao Hiyama. They are my most intense hyperfixation of 2 years.! They are from Mirai Nikki/Future Diary. An anime/manga which I don't really like.

The next beloved is Pocketcat! He is from Fear and Hunger. He's. A silly :) There's so much intrigue of him aaaghhh ough he is so sad.

Last one !! Faust. From Guilty Gear. He's a. He's somebody. Got him on Valentine's Day. He makes me a different kind of ill. Alas, this doctor cannot cure me.

They're 💙 just like me fr. I love them. URL is them btw. Masked men, doomed.

(comfortable with sharing and gushing together with everyone. I don't mind if you send or @ me in stuff that has Faust shipped with someone, (I like appreciating art of Faust in any form :] ) just know I'm uncomfy with all Faust ships except Happy Chaos)

--

I do block on some criteria but I will not disclose it. So, you may get blocked by me for something, and you will never know. (Followers only)

(if we're mutuals and you block me, I'd like to know the reason why. Not a requirement.)

#intro post

[writingsfromthegrave]

OMG, I haven't seen any blogs doing matchups lately😭 You are a real treasure here!

Would you mind if I request a RvB matchup? I'm a female. I have a very reserved and introverted personality, very shy in public, especially when given attention, but I open up to the people I trust and believe they won't judge me. I'm moody like half of the time I'm awake, but I try to take a hold of my emotions and be self-awared. Indecisive, a little bit of perfectionist when it comes to things I know I can do. I think I have an anxious-avoidant type of attachement to people.

As for my interests, I like to sketch portraits a little bit, study languages and watch cartoons. I like long walks, autumn, cold weather and stars.

I'm not really sure it matters, but I have brown eyes and fair hair. My height is 5'6".

If that is allowed, can you match me up with somebody from the Red or Blue team (or both, I don't mind😄), not Freelancers.

Thank you very much! Have a nice day!

ikr i was looking for some blogs to follow that have similar fandoms/layouts i do but i really couldn't find any especially under the rvb tags :(( but yeah, no worries lol. i'm cool when people have preferences for match-ups and i'll do my best to follow them, so here ya go!

anyways, i think you match well with. . .

[🔧] Lopez !!

♡ Being the most sane and level-headed member of the Red Team, he truly does try to understand & see where you're coming from. Lopez isn't much of a socialite himself and understands when you need to be alone and why you're so shy.

♡ Lopez isn't all that much into PDA, so you're in luck. He won't attempt to make any romantic moves on you or bring attention to you when you're out and about. Unless you verbally ask him for a hug or a kiss- then he'll definitely do it.

♡ If you don't open up to Lopez right away, it's fine. He gets it and waits patiently when you're ready to tell him things. But, when that time finally comes, he'll always be there to support you and do his best to comfort you. Though he'd mostly be giving you advice and attempt to fix your problem, unless you specifically ask him not to.

♡ (You can ignore this if you speak/understand Spanish lol!) Even if there's a language barrier between you two, Lopez does his best to communicate his thoughts & feelings toward you. These mostly end up being shoulder rubs, a pat on the back, head tilts, hand motions, ect. If he's feeling a little funny and the situation isn't too serious it's practically a game of charades.

♡ Knows exactly how to deal with moody- given the amount of time he's spent with the reds. You wanna be left alone? Fine by him. You want him to be there, but not comfort or talk to you about it? Fine by him. As long as you're not blatantly ignoring him or being rude, he'll respect your wishes & wants as best as he can.

♡ Lopez doesn't mind giving advice or pointing out things that can use a bit of improvement for ya. Whatever it is you're doing, if you ask him for feedback, he'll give his fully honest opinion and constructive criticism if you specifically request it. Though he takes pride in the fact his partner is such a talented person!

♡ Does his best to accustom you to romantic and physical touch, but only if you'd want to try. Takes things slow with you and there's zero pressure at all. Fully respects you, your boundaries, and your feelings.

♡ Lopez isn't much of a cartoons guy or TV-watcher at all but if you want to sit and relax with him, he'll watch just about anything you put on. Won't necessarily make a lot of comments about the show or hate on it, he'll just sit there and chat with you if you're feelin like it.

♡ Will totally accompany you on walks. If you're not up for talking, he'll just stay by your side admiring the scenery with you. If you choose to sit down and draw some trees and your surroundings he'll gladly watch you do it. Not opposed to being drawn either.

♡ Lopez would do anything to keep you safe, mentally & physically. He's always there for you when you need it and you can rely on him for advice & to keep things confidential. You both have a lot of trust put into the relationship which makes for a very strong future for the two of you.

Chapter Nine: October Road

I stayed the night because I didn’t want to go home. I could hear Jake talking to Hillary when I was in the bathroom. “What’s he like? Is he okay?” Jake whispered. He didn’t sound like he was judging me. He sounded worried. “Does it seem like he’s got people? Like a support system?”

“I think he’s okay… He seems alright. Honestly… I don’t know anything about him personally,” Hillary replied, “I never thought about it before…”

I dried behind my ears with the towel and finished brushing my teeth. I opened the door and smiled at them. “Thanks for letting me stay the night. I really appreciate it… And dinner was great,” I thanked Jake. Hillary wore a jersey as a pajama dress, and I looked at the ground to keep from putting my foot in my mouth. I think Jake noticed.

“No problems as long as you stay out here on the couch. Don’t try to venture back there because I’ll wake up. You hear me?” Jake asked. I nodded. “I wanna hear you say you understand me.”

“I understand,” I replied. Jake smiled and patted my arm.

“Night, Hillary. Night, Lucky,” Jake replied before going to his room.

Hillary lingered in the hall for a while. “Jake likes you… He’s just—. He’s like that sometimes. Goodnight,” Hillary whispered before placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

“Your brothers seem cool,” I replied, “And I get it. Goodnight, Hil’, thanks for inviting me over.”

I unzipped my backpack after everyone went to bed and read over the papers Wagner gave me. I got through the first chunk before I fell asleep with them stacked on my chest. Hillary woke me up for school, and I nearly dropped them all on the floor. She held them to my chest and laughed at the goofiness of the moment. “What’s this? Physics homework?” Hillary joked.

“Label contracts… My manager didn’t tell me that everything is up for renegotiation now that I’m emancipated, so I have to read through all this,” I laughed it off, but it pissed me off. I barely had time for homework, and now I had to be saddled with contracts and bills.

“Feel free to tell me if I’m wrong, but isn’t a manager supposed to do all this stuff?” Hillary asked as she neatly stacked my papers on their coffee table so I could sit up. We met eyes, and she frowned. “Luck? Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. It was nice to spend the night here… Your brothers were super nice to me,” I smiled.

Joey came out of his room and kissed Hillary on the cheek. “Don’t be late for school. Love you, kid," Joey smiled, "Don't be a stranger, Lucky… Oh, and I left some clothes for you in the bathroom."

"Thanks, and I won't. Maybe you guys can all come over sometime," I offered. Joey grinned and nodded.

"Sounds good," Joey replied as he left the house. I went to the bathroom, cleaned up, and dressed for school. Hillary made me a smoothie for breakfast, and I helped her make lunch quietly in the kitchen. "Lucky, do you have a support system? I mean—. Do you have somebody that you can call if you need them?" Hilary asked. I shrugged and smiled. "Luck—."

"Don't worry about me. I'm okay," I laughed it off. The question made me sad because I only had Rex and Roxy. I wanted Hillary to leave it alone.

My phone rang, and I leaned against the counter and sighed. "Hello?" I answered.

"Lucky, good news and bad news,” a woman announced. I looked at the caller ID to see my lawyer’s name, but it wasn’t his voice.

“What’s up? And where’s Double X?” I asked. Double X was what I affectionately called my lawyer because of the two Xs in his last name.

“He’s in a meeting, but Mr. Madoxx wanted me to speak to you immediately. Your court date is on the third of October—.”

“Whoa! Really?” I smiled. “That’s great news!”

“But there’s also bad news,” she replied.

“Okay, hit me,” I sighed.

“You’ll have to fly out to Metropolis during the school week to make your petition to the judge… And you’ll have to argue the benefit of unsealing your adoption records against your father… And he will argue that it’s detrimental to your emotional and developmental well-being,” she explained.

“When is October third? What day is that?” I asked. Hillary touched my arm.

“It’s the first day of finals,” Hillary replied.

“Oh no, that’s bad… The third is awful. I’ve got finals on the third,” I stated as I ran a hand through my hair.

“We can try to get you a different date, but I don’t think you’ll get a better time than this one. You’re fortunate that you could get a date this soon,” the assistant answered, “It’s a court date, so you should be able to reschedule your finals. Especially if you let your teachers know ahead of time… But your father—.”

“This isn’t personal. I’m not gonna let this be personal. My dad will always be my dad… I just—. I have to know where I came from, and I don’t think this should tear us apart. I’m actually—. I’m excited to see him,” I replied with a lilt. I was lying through my teeth. I shook like a leaf at the idea of going against my father in court. I nudged Hillary as I grabbed the smoothie she made me and slipped my backpack on.

“Let’s go. I don’t wanna make us late,” I whispered.

Hillary grabbed two umbrellas and gently brushed past me. “You okay, Luck?” she asked.

I nodded as I trailed behind her. “Okay… I’ll get my finals rescheduled ahead of time. And don’t worry about my dad. It’s fine. We’re not out to hurt each other,” I smiled, “This isn’t personal.” I could’ve said that a billion times, and it wouldn’t have made things easier to stomach. She said goodbye and promised me an email before hanging up. I started hyperventilating, and I laughed through it to save face, but I think it only made me look insane to Hillary.

“Lucky? Do you need to sit down for a minute?” Hillary asked.

“No, I’m fine. Really, I’m—.” I kept laughing until it got so bad I couldn’t hide it. I wavered and staggered forward. Hillary caught me and forced me to sit on the side of the road. “I’m scared… I’m so scared that I’m going through all this for no reason. I’m scared that I’m making a huge mistake and that I hurt my dad forever over something that doesn’t even matter… Hillary, I can’t—. Hillary—.” She let me lay my head on her lap.

“It’s gonna be alright… Lucky, it’s okay,” Hillary reassured me as she scratched my scalp and ran her fingers through my hair. “Shhh… It’s alright. It’s gonna be alright.”

My breaths slowed to normal, and I sat up straight. “Uhh… Hillary? Do you mind not telling anyone at school? I don’t usually get emotional like that, and I—.”

“Nothing happened,” Hillary interrupted with a smile. I wanted to hug her, but I didn’t think she’d like that.

“Thank you… And thanks for breakfast… And letting me have dinner at your house… And letting me spend the night,” I laughed, “You’re a good friend… And I wanna be a good friend too… Let me do something nice for you. Please. Say the word, and I’ll do it.”

Hillary laughed and shook her head. “That’s not how it works. This isn’t something you have to pay me back for. You didn’t ask me to do it,” Hillary replied, “I invited you over. I volunteered to make you breakfast. And you never asked for anything.”

“Wow, but I still wanna do something nice for you… If you ever need anything, let me know,” I whispered.

“I need us to get to school on time,” Hillary joked. I chuckled and followed her to school.

Hellooooooo just wanna pop in to say thank you for your reblog comments about my Obey Me MC in HDD costume 🥺💕 (it's the one with Diavolo & Belphie leaning towards my MC) not sure how to reply a reblog since it will end up in my own post? (I don't play tumblr that much so I'm still confused 😭)

Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your comment so much and it really flutters my heart reading it 💕💕💕

Of course! I tend to reblog a lot without tagging or commenting so when I feel like it I try to say something about the art. Very thankful to be fixated on a fandom/game that has an active and talented community

Thanks to you for sharing your MC and your art! I think it's kind of tricky to match the character designs of canon a lot of the time, so it's really cool that you did have the fancy get-up match the others. MC's family and they're here to stay so of course they should match! It's just heartwarming, especially because its shown in a sweet happy moment too.

Also, responding to somebody's tags on your post:

1) technically you could reblog your post from me with your response in the commentary? Seems a bit silly I know, but I'd be notified of the tags and so would the original poster (you). Plus I don't see anything wrong with reblogging great art you're proud of/worked hard on! Your followers have voluntarily shown up to see whatever you'd care to share with them yknow

2) in the corner of a post there's a black chat bubble icon where you can talk with people without reblogging. This means you don't have to show the same post a bunch of times to have a convo. This also means that you can put your 2¢ on the post without having the post actually be on your blog. Also people have to select the chat icon to see if somebody has used this form of interacting, but all the messages left go into that post's personal void forever (I think you can delete but double check me). You can @ a blog you specifically wanted to talk to, and I believe that the original poster also is notified of any messages left?

3) you know that you can reblog the post with your additional text, but the post's history wouldn't show what my tags were/what you were responding to. Some people will take screenshots of tags, include the photo as a receipt of some sort, and type their response. Other people have also retyped the tags they're responding to and linked that with the url of the post in question on the other person's blog. (I know that's wordy and not really coherent, just click the notification of the reblog then grab the link from where it took you)

#obey me oc #y'all should check this blog out if you're interested #you should definitely interact with content creators you like #reblog #talk to n message #whatever you want whatever you have energy for #they feed brainrot you gotta feed them back #sustainable ecological relationship of fandom

Sure would be nice if my brother and dad would learn how to communicate without breaking into a fucking argument. I've been dealing with my brother and dad fighting for YEARS, and I am so tired of it.

And I know perfectly well that it is none of my business, but I had to spend ALL my life hearing my dad fight with my brother over him doing something or literally nothing at all like it’s a bigger deal than it should be. My house’s walls aren’t that thick, so of course I’d have to ear EVERY SINGLE WORD that has absolutely NOTHING to do with me.

Just... fucking TALK.

#abby chats #i wanna put tag this in some fandom i'm in to talk with somebody about this #but i don't wanna sound like i'm needy for attention #family stuffs #communication #dad #brother #family drama #nothing to do with me #but still

[tiktaalic]

I've never watch good omens and never know anything abt the general fandom around it.. only that Misha and the actor in the show who is not David Tennant did a video together???

I wanna know why this announcement of season 2 is eliciting such might I say visceral reactions???

I'm extremely curious!!

so. ok. this is a 30 minute read but very comprehensive and encapsulates my feelings very closely. some context:

i read the book when i was 12, then reread it every yr and called it my favorite book. ihave the matching black and white versions of the book.

i was never super into azcrow? i poked around back in the day for sure but only because that was what you Did if you poked around online for gomens. it's got some trappings for sure but i didn't feel intrigued enough or baited enough to actually care about it or ever really think about it

the book came out in 1990. that is a LOT of time for neil gaiman to be able to go On The Record with his thoughts. not going to dig for receipts but literally for decades up until the MONTH before the show came out. there are literally countless instances of him basically saying #notmycanon but yall have fun in your noncanon space who am i to stop you. i VERY clearly remember a post he made about digging through the good omens tag on tumblr and how weird it was to see explicit azcrow.

in the lead up to show, he made a lot MORE statements because people were like. owo azcrow? and he. AGAIN. explicitly and clearly said #notmycanon #notmyshow but yall have fun with it. it's not what i put in the text tho.

ALSO before the show he made a #diversitywin announcement about how there would be a canon nonbinary character! pollution. now we dont have time to unpack all that,

anyway. timeline shift. the show is out! cool. it treads some old queerbaiting grounds. wall shoves, aziraphale arguing with crowley in public then a guy coming to say "dont worry mate i've had the same fight with my boyfriend you'll work it out" and an angel derogatorily calling crowley az's boyfriend. yknow the greatest hits of bait.

show materials start filtering out. interviews, scripts, etc. michael sheen starts talking about how he played az as in love. scripts, etc, show that the scenes people are touting as HE WAS IN LOVE HERE were sheen choices which is also evidenced by the way he talks about it, and not directions from gaiman.

reaction from general audience is very haha cool show. neil gaiman is like :) thank you for liking my cool show.

reaction from johnlock refugees is very omg squee gay babies. in the interest of fairness this is said by actual gay people

people start @-ing him on twitter about azcrow canon. like a lot of people. articles start coming out about azcrow canon. glowing articles. neil in his little rat brain goes. hm.

SUDDENLY. neil is retweeting azcrow praise. saying it is a love story. written as a love story. always was a love story.

SUDDENLY. azcrow is #allorientations. he retweets articles where people think they are STRICTLY platonic and says yeah that's canon. he retweets stuff about them being asexual and says yeah that's canon. he retweets stuff about them being in love and says yeah that's canon. someone says oh so they're gay? and he goes NO they're angels they're not human they're genderless they cant be gay (this is the man who wrote a doctor who episode where the doctor fell in straight love with the TARDIS machine)

SUDDENLY. azcrow are canon nonbinary. didn't you catch the little reference here and there? i'm glad somebody did, neil says. would like to draw your attention BACK to the fact that when he did his nonbinary announcement back BEFORE the show aired, it was about pollution and only pollution

neil's twitter feed is now entirely retweeted praise of how Meaningful it is that azcrow is canon but Subtle and how it's GREAT rep for queerplatonic arosexual demissjdfjtjljiaw8 u49tp q4wt

i lose my entire motherfucking mind over the fact that everyone is not only allowing but encouraging this scam to happen

fanfic ask game

Tagged by the incomparable, untaggable @bewires

Tagging @maddielle @catholicnicky @pinkninjapj if they wanna!

How many works do you have on AO3?

13

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Just TOG, although one is comics compliant so technically 2

Are there any new fandoms you want to write for?

Nothing new has caught my eye, so nope

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Window of Opportunity

Three Men Walk Into a Bar

The Upside of a Bad Night

The Light Side

could never love somebody else and My Baby Beside Me at the Wheel are tied

Which of your fics do you want more attention for?

I'm quite fond of my infidelity verse, disregard and fidelity (look how punny i am) and will selfishly take all the people willing to talk to me about it.

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yes, always. Isn't that the whole point!

What sorts of things do you normally write?

AUs, explicit fics, light angst

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

Well the whole premise of the infidelity verse is Nicky is married, not to Joe, and that continues to be the case in all 3 installments of the series.

What's a fic that pushed you out of your comfort zone?

can i go where you go was my first foray into kinkier sex and i was def nervous about getting that right

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you've written?

i haven't

Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

nope

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

UGH my cats fic. 😭 I started writing it in May and have ~4300 words. It's canon compliant, and the premise is Nicky is an animal hoarder when left to his own devices, but Joe is not an animal person. He leaves for like a week, and Nicky and Nile amass a bunch of stray cats by feeding them. The fic is Nicky teasing Joe/ignoring his complaints as long as he can manage about the cats, and various scenes of Joe being harassed by living in proximity to so many cats. It culminates in Joe researching why its bad to feed stray cats, and Nicky being like ok if you're doing research to craft better arguments we've gotten to a point where i will stop. but then they hold on to a couple.

tragically i think i just....don't actually spend enough time with cats, especially outdoor/feral-ish ones, to feel confident in the cat scenes. this all started cause i had cat as a bingo square if you're wondering why a person with limited cat exposure began writing cat based fic at all.

What are you currently working on?

I just posted a fic today so nothing yet! We'll see what gets my attention.

What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue, I think. It's the easiest part, at least, for me to write. Some commenters have also said I'm funny which, maybe!

What are your writing weaknesses?

I find smut ridiculously hard for someone who insists on putting it in my fics. But be the fics you want to read and all that?

What was the first fandom you wrote for? Most recent?

Only ever wrote for TOG. I'm a gold star TOG writer

What's your favorite fic you've written?

Ohhh i dont know! Maybe Window of Opportunity, it's my longest (which isn't that long compared to other writers) so it has the opportunity to build out the best arc in one go. I'm also, as I mentioned, very fond of the infidelity one, but it's 3 fics and i'm not sure which i'd pick individually.

What fic are you most proud of?

Maybe my first one, Mother Clap's Molly House, just because I'm proud I worked up the guts to post it, and under the ao3 name people know me as (i created a secret second one i nearly posted under instead). It's cross-dressing, which isn't actually a thing for me so it's kind of funny I wrote that first, but it's comics compliant cross-dressing, and I am semi familiar with that period in history (although I did some extra research for the fic), and I remember feeling like that would be my in into successful fanfic-ing lol having historical knowledge.

[fallout-lou-begas]

This might be random, but I came to the blog for the icon/username, stayed for the vibes and memes and now I really wanna share my Fallout NV OC bc of you lol if I'm being honest. But Idk how to or if I should. I'm not really an artist (I write but that's it) or really sure where to start?

Oh thank you anon!! That’s really sweet to hear. It really does mean a lot, more than anything else on here, when I’m able to inspire other people to create on their own.

I’m not really sure what to say to you, though (if only because your ask doesn’t give me a lot of details), except to just go for it. When getting involved in fandom, especially a fandom that encourages the creation of OCs, I feel like there’s an expectation of everybody having some sort of Project, like a fanfiction. If you have an idea for a Project or are working on one as a writer, that’s great, but if you’re not, I wouldn’t let that stop you from sharing and developing your OC on your own time, in your own way. Fandom is an inherently social space, and fandom participation is inherently collaborative, so just having your OC out there and making friends with other people and talking about OCs together can be a rewarding, generative process in its own right.

So, just...start posting about them! It’s your blog, do what you want! My only advice is to tag your posts well so that your blog can stay pretty well-organized, especially for any OC-related stuff that you’d want to reference later. There’s a lot of OC development prompts where people are expected to send you numbers or emojis that you respond to, but there’s nothing stopping you from just filling it out yourself. I often see “ask me questions about my OC” posts that go around, but I don’t think anybody should ever really need to ask for permission to ramble about their OCs on their own blog. I think that these posts proliferate more so because people get insecure about whether anybody “actually” cares, but...

...as I explain anytime somebody asks me a question like this, I think it’s very important that nobody go seeking external validation in the form of replies and reblogs and comments when putting anything out there into the internet, fandom or otherwise. Obviously this feedback can be encouraging, but it’s not guaranteed and audiences can be fickle. When creating, you have to be creating because you want to create, it should be something you’d want to do even if you were the last person on earth. Otherwise, it’s so much easier to burn yourself out or feel so discouraged that you give up, when it’s so much more rewarding to do something for the intrinsic pleasure and practice of it, even if it’s not as spectacular of a reward as big numbers in your notes.

Also, if you’re not much of an artist but still really want people to see your OC, I know that some people use in-game screenshots, Picrews, and other kinds of avatar-generators to show off their OC’s design as well. If you’ve got any money laying around, you can commission other artists to make a sketch or reference sheet as well (I’m gonna open up commissions one of these days I swear haha). And as a writer, I’m sure you know that at the very least, a well-written description goes a long way.

I'm on this hellsite almost all day every day. So theres a 98 percent chance if you pm me I'll respond almost instantly. though if I dont, please Dont take it personally. Sometimes I just dont dont have the mental strength to form a response and keep a conversation going. Or I simply just don't want to. So please don't think I have anything against you!! :D

━━━━━━━━ ⸙ ━━━━━━━━

Some important information

Whenever your responding to me, whether it be through a pm, a comment, a reblog- anything! Please dont just respond with "..." "._." "ok" and "-._-." they're kinda like uhh, small triggers, they send me into a small panic attack mode so id really appreciate it if you didnt do that :')

━━━━━━━━ ⸙ ━━━━━━━━

If you're over the age of 30, lgtbphobic, a MAP (somebody who's attracted to minors), racist, ect. Please do not interact with me!! :D if you are any of the following I just listed please block me. Thank you.

━━━━━━━━ ⸙ ━━━━━━━━

Please don't make fun of me or make small "jokes" about how I can be annoying, keyboard smash alot, the fandoms I like, my misspellings, or mistakes I may make on my art.

- I'm very self conscious about me being "annoying" and if people really like me or not. This Includes commenting about how I may vent alot. My apartment is toxic as shit, its going to happen. Please READ THE TAGS IN MY VENTS, I will put info there such as not to reblog it.

- keyboard smashing is just something I do for fun, and express emotions/stim, so just please don't.

- I used to be made fun of ALOT for liking "weird" fandoms, so please don't do that.

- just- don't make fun of the things I spell incorrectly. My parents do that enough. I'm very aware of the things I may spell wrong and will edit it quickly if I see I've spelled something wrong.

- giving constructive criticism is completely appreciated!! Just please dont go "hey you drew - insert something I drew - kinda weird/wrong lol" its honestly just kinda mean.

I say things like "lmao/lmfao LMAO/LMFAO" "IM CRYING" and stuff like that a lot, I keyboard smash alot too.

I stim physically and verbally! Meaning I kinda just say gibberish, or repeatedly say "oh my god" "nOoO" "sTOp-" "wHy-". And I sometimes flap my hands around or just slap/hit the closest thing next to me I know won't get damaged or break.

━━━━━━━━ ⸙ ━━━━━━━━

Thing is, you do kinda come across as saying those things are mandatory, and insulting people who don't (or can't) follow these rules. Especially because you've tagged it as writing advice and fanfiction advice, and tried to claim that most people would agree as a blanket statement.

And, like, others have mentioned the language stuff, but it's also p ableist to imply that people who make those mistakes simply 'refuse to do better'. And I'm going to say right now that nobody should have to say they have a disability to excuse mistakes in a fic, so please don't try the 'it doesn't apply to you but please state you aren't' thing. It's honestly a bad argument and insulting.

Also, fanfiction is free. I write mine while also working a full time job. I don't get anything out of fanfiction other than my own enjoyment, so I'm not going to bother polishing it past a point. If there's a typo by that point, there's just gonna be a typo. Spoken as somebody who does know the difference between breath/breathe, but regularly gets the spelling mixed up for various personal reasons.

Finally, honestly, the 'y'all ain't ready for those convos comments' really just make you sound like some flavor of anti or terf

y'all really love to just. read so far into shit.

i shouldn't have to put "by the way this is just advice" or my own disclaimer on shit just so y'all don't assume that it's supposed to be some sort of hate toward y'all

1. it is advice

the thing about advice is that it's optional if you take it. if you think you do your absolute best while writing your fics then you aren't the ones im talking about when i say "refuse to do better". because you are doing your best.

the fact you think that was targeted toward you is more of an indication of how you view yourself than anything

i wasn't even gonna acknowledge the anti or terf claim but like lmao it's just comical how far y'all read into this shit

the conversations i wanna have are to do with the over sexualization of m/m relationships within fandoms & the incredible double standard a lot of female characters face vs male characters

but sure. go off

I'm writing a Riverdale fanfic (Jarchie mainly, with Beronica on the side) which is one of my first proper fanfics ever. Any general tips or maybe even just tips for being brave enough to actually, you know, share it? I'm feeling so awkward about this entire thing!

Can I first start of with saying: so much kudos to you for wanting to put your fic up! Fandoms getting new fics and writers is always a huge YES because we always need more & definitely welcome it ^_^(This definitely ended up being really long, but I made a list further down if you don’t wanna read all my rambling. I’m not sure what specifically you’re feeling awkward about, but I covered a bunch of stuff :))

Reading this I was like, I’m probably not the best person to ask because I have really bad anxiety ?? but then I was like, actually, you know, that’s why I’m probably one of the best people to ask because HOW the HELL do I manage to do this despite that? And honestly it involves a lot of self-talk + bravery + a fuck-it-I’m-gonna-do-it-who-cares mood. And I have a feeling this post is going to be rather long, but I’ll just talk through my own experience and what I’ve told myself, and maybe it’ll help you (or someone else) as well. :D

(I decided to put this under cut IT’S SO LONG IM SORRY (& if you’re on mobile I’m even more sorry t_t) 

I’ve actually been writing stuff for YEARS. I started fanfics in middle school, before that I was writing my own little stories. Little me in primary school and early middle school, so badly wanting to be a writer (I RP’d a lot between 07-10 as well). But I never shared my writing. SOMETIMES with close friends, if I bought up an original story and they were interested I would send it to them. Otherwise, I wasn’t about to share it with anyone. ESPECIALLY not my fanfics when I started. A lot of my earliest have gone unseen by the world (and myself for years). I’m sure this may apply to a lot of people if you’ve written stuff for years, regardless what type of writing it is. I don’t know if you’ve written other stuff before anon, but if you haven’t that’s okay because we all gotta start somewhere & if you want to share it right away that’s one hell of an achievement and damned awesome. On the other hand, if it’s taken a while, that’s great too. Either way, sharing can be one hell of an anxiety inducing situation.

Okay, so when it came to finally posting stuff up, I’d definitely been writing a while, but at this point I knew I really wanted feedback on my writing, and to see if people enjoyed it, so that was a huge factor in me sharing it online. I’d never find out what people thought if I kept it to myself forever. Critique can sometimes be tough (just before my ImperialRemnant account on AO3 I wrote fanfic elsewhere and definitely had “this sucks” reviews - which isn’t so much a critique, but actually being a dick because they weren’t helpful - and definitely had fics that did rather terribly - still do - but it’s all a learning process & you eventually get used to it).

It’s also important where you post it, AO3 would be best of jarchie and beronica, as well as tumblr. Fanfic.net usually does better with gen fics. They’re the only ones I use, although I have accounts on some other sites I still gotta go on.

So I’ll go through things you should remember if you’re nervous about putting up fics (and things I have to remind/tell myself constantly):: 

1. I’ll start with the fact you’ll definitely get reviews/comments/critique like I said previously. But most people are REALLY REALLY nice, so don’t freak out (I tell myself, as I’m trying to rationalise), and I haven’t had anything terrible since making my ImperialRemnant account on AO3 or fanfic.net. And there are always times your fics won’t get any comments at all– and that’s fine too! I’ve had that happen to me, and in the long run, it doesn’t feel like a huge biggy??Also, sometimes people aren’t gonna like what you do and they’ll say that, but that takes me to a second point–

2. It’s not your problem if somebody doesn’t like something. This is really important to know. You wrote the fic because it’s a concept you wanted to write, and something you really wanted to share and that’s amazing. You put tags on everything in your fic, so the person will go in and know what to expect, so if somebody does say something, then it’s like… “it was in the tags/summary? Why did you read this then? Wtf?” then 0% your fault. (Tagging’s important guys! I do find it hard so if you do too then try! You’ll usually be fine). 

3. In regards to quality of fic, there’s definitely is a lot of amazing stuff out there, and that’s overwhelming. But you gotta know, there’s a lot of bad stuff too. I hate to say it, because it’s the nice thing to say all fic is good, but the reality is that’s not true. Your fic may not be the best (hey it may be damn amazing I haven’t seen it xD), but there’s a damn good chance it’s not going to be the worst either. Say to yourself this fic isn’t terrible, it’s fine. Your quality will improve over time anyway when you grow as a writer (Lord forbid there’s stuff from a year ago I published and I’m like… why did I do that…but that brings me to the next point).

4. SOMEBODY WILL LOVE YOUR FIC, I GUARANTEE THIS. I didn’t know this at first but learnt it quickly and have to remind myself EVERY TIME. Even if, later, you’re going “oh god that fic was a dumb idea”, there will be someone, at some point, who will have loved it and enjoyed it and wished there was more. It may just be one or two people but goddammit your audience is always gonna start small, and if it stays that way it will always be worth it for someone (that someone can be yourself too!). The best feeling is when somebody gets excited from your updates (HUGE reason why people should leave comments if they love a fic, because there’s a lot of people who are passive readers even when they love love LOVE a fic & just leave a kudos, definite issue. But I hope as a fandom we can not be like that?).

5. Your writing is not going to be perfect to you, it’ll never be perfect, you’ll be sure there’s a way something could be written better, but maybe you don’t know how to make it better (especially if you don’t have a beta!). I never expect fics, when I go in to read them, to be perfect. No writer is perfect, even properly published writers. You’re going to have to tell yourself it’s the best you can do RIGHT NOW for THIS fic. Put it through an editing program maybe if it’ll make you feel better (I use prowritingaid sometimes?) or leave the fic and go through it later. It’s gonna be fine.

6. Don’t expect much at first. Sometimes first fics can be very successful for people, but there’s a shit-ton of people where this doesn’t happen and it takes a while. When I first put fics up on AO3 they only got less than 10 kudos or something? You will eventually write something that a lot of people may love, but it can take a while. I think… well I’ll give you an example with the Star Wars fandom– I first wrote TFA & Kylux on AO3 before The Force Awakens had even come out, so obviously I didn’t get a lot of attention. When the movie came out, there was few fanfics but I was already there so a lot of people would read my fics (dunno if they liked them, but since they were some of the ONLY ones that existed they didn’t have much choice ;P). If you’re writing fics in a growing fandom you might be more likely get more attention later on your fics, if only because there’s few choices. Some of my fics still have barely any kudos, but I have nearly 60 fics and they’re gonna be a hit or a miss (& they eventually gather more kudos overtime, so even the worst fics have at least a few). With Jarchie, I was actually surprised I got as many as I did, but this fandom’s in the process of growing and I assume a lot of people are reading all the new fics?? It’s probably good for you actually, to right now put a fic when people are reading it and into it. 

6. It gets easier. Man, I ain’t even kidding, the first time I was putting up a fic I was freaking out like mad, going back and forth between the tag, mouse hovering over the publish button, re-reading a billion and ten times. It was ~kinda~ easier in a fandom where nobody was reading the fics because you definitely don’t expect much, but there were a couple of people who definitely enjoyed the series I was writing once I’d put some stuff up. And as time went on, it got much more easier. There’s a huge gap of time I didn’t put any fics up and it was hard to update again, but now that I did it, it’s once again easier to do it. I still have internal battles with myself over it, but it’s quicker to get over it and much easier to win. 

7. I forgot a note so I’m just gonna add it quickly. But if you’re really weird about it, you can first send it to a friend to look over, or a mutual or something. Or, since I myself never could do that, just tell someone about the idea– and I suggest telling someone you know won’t make a negative comment about it. Sometimes a “that sounds interesting” or “that sounds cool” can be even a little helpful. If you’re lucky, might even go a long way.

Honestly, my mind goes through a whole lot of panic, and sometimes it just takes a good mental day, and some excitement about the concept of my fic, to be able to be brave enough to finally put something up. I usually have low expectations when I share it (being a pessimistic person by nature, so as not to disappoint myself), but I’m like… somebody’s gonna like it at some point, it’s not the worst fic I’ve ever seen, it’ll be okay. And if a fic doesn’t do well, then you just need to put it behind and move on (repress memories haha). Leave it up, don’t take it down, somebody may eventually come across it and love it, but there’s no harm done having fics that don’t do well. It might just be that it’s not gonna appeal to most people, and that’s okay.

At the end of the day your fic’s gonna be okay. There’s a bunch of amazing, unique, horrendously weird, terrible, awful fics out there and the last thing you need to feel is awkward. I know this ended up being a monster of an essay but I hope it’s helped, even a little.

tl;dr? No need to feel awkward, sit yo ass down and just fuckin’ do it. Shit’s crazy.
