#i’m not answering them because i don’t wanna clog people’s dashes

[crazyw3irdo]

Hey, I just took your Romeo & Juliet Quiz (I got Friar Lawrence, not important) could you post the other answers from the quiz? I wanna know what they are but I don’t wanna take the quiz a bunch.

Thanks for making it! It gave me the willies in a good sorta way, you also made me think about what I liked about Romeo + Juliet (the flowery language) which was a nice reminder.

Thanks! ◡̈

of course! answers below so i’m not clogging up everyone’s dash lol

romeo: you were doomed from the start. you would have lived a life of friendship and fun, perhaps a bit of flirting if that's something that interests you. you could have published poetry. but your emotions controlled you. you were punished by the universe for a fleeting bit of passion to serve as a lesson for the cynical. hopefully you left an impression. your passion is explosive. your loyalty a boon. if only the world were fair.

juliet: you were doomed from the start. you were robbed of a chance to become anything. controlled by everyone in your life, even the ones that genuinely cared, and the one good thing you had led to your destruction because the hands of fate deemed it so. your trust in others is admirable. your optimism is enviable. your hope burns. if only you were living a different life.

mercutio: you were too loyal. not even for your own cause. you had no stake in this affair, and yet when your friend was threatened you leapt to his defense. you were doomed, but was it even for anything? does anyone mourn? no matter how much you proclaim you don't care, your caring is too great. you bare your heart to the world and it ended up getting scratched. if only the world were kind.

benvolio: it may be different from the others, but you were still doomed from the start. the horror of being the most reasonable one in the group is that means everyone else makes mistakes. everyone else must face the consequences. everyone else gets hurt while you stand there unharmed. no matter the warnings you give, they still are punished. you can't help someone who the universe decided must be destroyed. i admire that you still try. if only the game hadn't been rigged from the start.

tybalt: your passion doomed you. you thought you knew what was right. you thought you deserved it. you thought if you fought for it you could get it. communication is hard, so you tried something else, you wanted to defend, to attack, to prove something to someone. but you couldn't. you never could. you tried to meddle with fate and ended up at its mercy. if only the world listened.

friar laurence: you thought you could help. and you did, you really did. you were there for the happiness. but that also meant you were there when there was nothing left. a guiding hand is only so helpful. you plan and plan and plan and mistakes still happen. and when you don't consider those mistakes, everything can go wrong. fate will find the smallest flaw and wrench everything from you. if only you realized that sooner.

nurse: you cared for them. you loved them. you were always there. but there was nothing you could have done. it's not your story. you perpetually stand in the sidelines, watching people suffer for something you have no involvement in and yet you care. you care for them. but no matter how much you love them that doesn't change that they'll end up in a tomb someday. if only it weren't so soon.

you really don’t think before posting things on the interwebs huh? You’re really fucked in the head, it’s sad really. No one ever came at your partner for her looks or diagnoses, you just want to make up shit. Awww I’m such a victim, let me be incredibly immature and whine while being antisemitic and racist. It’s completely unacceptable. Get over this you sad fuck. Go touch grass. Write a book. Play in traffic.

cw this dumbass shit again sorry followers i will cleanse the dash with some lesbianism after this. if u dont know what this is about, god i wish that were me

btw this person is @femme/liarity or one of her asshole followers harassing me and stalking my blog bc i critiqued femmes for acting like babies separate from them and also because me and my femme (not a call out post) talked about the experiences we had w them exiling her from a community with no contact and not even a single shred of decency to say anything to her face... just leaving her to think she's unlikeable and then later finding out you called her a predator. also we have literal screenshots of the convos with ppl who were in direct contact w u saying stuff about supposed predation but okay that’s just fabricated!

god you cowards rlly can’t say shit to anyone's face huh? i literally never called you or your friend a tradwife. you’re extrapolating to play victim again. also "you’re really fucked in the head" but its not about anyone's actual real life conditions huh (not diagnoses! we actually have this shit!).

"neither of them seemed willing to listen" MOTHERFUCKER WE TRIED TO CONTACT YOU? YOU BLOCKED US ON EVERYTHING? YOU NO-CONTACTED US AND THEN WE WERE TOLD FROM A N O T H E R PERSON THAT YOU INFORMED THEM ABOUT US BEING PREDATORY. you know who could have fixed the fabrication of your dumbass lie? YOU, IF YOU HADN'T LITERALLY SAID NOTHING TO MY FEMME AND HAD HER REMOVED FROM A SERVER AND THEN TOLD OTHER PPL SHE WAS A PREDATOR.

"not interested in taking accountability" mf for what?? you still won’t make anything clear to anyone and no situation has been solved you've just isolated ppl and made them feel like shit??

"it's racist for a white person to critique the femininity of a femme of color" literally i was critiquing as a whole, your femininity just was part of a larger concept with other ties, your section mostly being oh i’m just a baby and i can’t be found guilty of doing anything wrong bc i’m feminine and just a little kitten and i wear lace dresses. if that shoe fits, wear it, but i was literally talking on my OWN blog about my own thoughts on femininity being used as an infantilization tactic separate from your stuff once someone asked me abt my supposed "policing" of gender conforming femmes-- nice to know youre stalking every single ask i answer though, so i know you'll see this one! not to mention my main concept that i made clear was that it was not my critique to make but an observation i made based on a post i repeatedly linked by a femme of color. you’re grasping at literal straws.

i’m sorry if you felt like i was applying the term tradwife to you or your friend or whatever, but i make it pretty obvious that my blog doesn't explain everything for ppl who lack reading comprehension. not only that, but i didn't even know about those origins, so it wouldn't have been conscious. and not only that, but it wasn't integral to my argument, so if you want, i'd be happy to remove the word and the rest of it would still make sense.

0/10 please come back with a better fabrication of what i did wrong next time you send an anon (and i know you will bc you’re the one obsessed w me bestie. i havent sent you a damn anon)

adding more bc i dont wanna clog my feed w the posts.

literally the amount of lies in that stupid ass post should be proof enough that none of it is true. how are you going to say someone was "harassing" people after being removed. literally she didn't know a damn thing about why she was removed of course she's going to reach out to server members to try and find out lmao???

#literally tired of these dumbasses. since we passed the play in traffic threshold i won’t feel bad saying this: #please walk in front of a semi rn #ask #'anon' lmao #anon #mine

[evansbby]

Its not just you, I’ve seen countless writers on tumblr feel this way, a lot have left tumblr because of this or take long breaks from writing fics and just do what they want on here. The way anons talk to people on here sometimes is so entitled and rude. I hope you’re doing ok in Your personal time. It sounds like your experience some kind of drop from all the horny thots and fic demands. You need some aftercare! Some attention on other topics, likes and interests! Promise we will still be here!

Thanks for your kind words and to everyone who sent me messages/asks last night! I do wanna say that literally I don’t have a problem with 99% of my anons — I’m grateful for them and everyone is super nice, creative, wonderful in the asks they send me. It’s only the very small 1% who will sometimes send in something which (perhaps unknowingly) sounds like they’re just demanding a drabble etc, makes it feel like that’s all I’m good for and last night I was focusing on that 1% because sometimes it’s just like that and I feel like being sad and I was sad last night. Also, a lot of people seemed to think that them sending thots in general or not sending “other types of asks” is the problem when it’s not and I never said that… people can send me whatever they want… or not send me anything bahahaha it’s not that deep… all i ask for is 1) i’m not a fic machine and 2) i’m not an ask answering machine and sometimes asks will get forgotten/lost/I may not be in the mood to answer… apart from that i’m over my sad moment from last night lmaooo I didn’t really think it would turn into such a big deal I was only venting in my tags but yes thank you to everyone who messaged, can’t respond to every single ask about this as it would clog people’s dashs and become repetitive but just know i love you lmao idek ok back to regularly scheduled programming bc I need to remember this is a fun place for me and the moment it stops being fun is the moment I’m out of here hahaha

#anon

[dreamings-free]

okay gonna do some anon asks/answers in batches cause I have so many and I don’t wanna clog up people’s dashes..

these are all about the beard/break up

yeah I really doubt she’ll keep posting from L’s house even if she did before the break up was official but must have “happened”. that house is like his office we’ve seen him working there many times in the past couple of years; planning the first AFHF, doing vocal training with helene, and latest recording his thank you speech and doing radio interviews when FITF went #1. I assume he’ll keep using it that way. but it’ll be interesting to see once she starts posting again where she’ll be..

asjfhkajsfk even if she did dump him the first time around she came back like? so who looks more the fool lol. and yeah tbh most of her stans have only been pretending to be fans of louis. because them being together would mean larry couldn’t be a thing. and most of them are harries. see also this ask:

it’s pathetic is what it is. if we are to believe the official narrative that they broke up because long-distance was too hard and they’re blaming him? he has a career he’s been doing this for the entirety of their “relationship” so who isn’t commiting here.. (also the sexist shit I’ve seen about him being an asshole for “leaving her at 30 and without a ring” like.. women are not worthless because they’re unmarried jfc) but yeah as i answered above it’s not about louis it’s about them being mad about him not being kept straight by being with her. (also sidenote but they way her stans who a few years back wouldn’t touch the subject of “his son” with a ten foot pole are suddenly all about dad louis.. same reason)

no I definitely not a fan. like.. I don’t care about her as an influencer or whatever. and I’m looking forward to not keeping up with her once the final pieces of the puzzle falls into place like will she still walk both dogs, is she completely done working for L etc etc. Hopefully we’ll know soon..

tbh the most annoying thing about her is her stans who like to tell themselves that the minimal amount of work we’ve seen her do (sponsored posts, pr trips etc) would cover even an inch of the spending we’ve seen from her. a few instagram stories about an armani perfume or some sportswear brand isn’t gonna pay for all the wildly expensive shit she wears. and then there’s this gem:

girl attends one (1) fashion show…omg move over anna wintour 😂

like they’re living in some alternate reality she can’t even write a clever instagram caption to save her life lol

I doubt she’s had another job while working for L and that rumour about her attenting the royal college of art doesn’t hold water either. she’s been jetting all over the world all year there’s no way she’d be able to keep up with fashion school at that level at the same time. so we can assume L has been paying her well enough to keep her in endless balenciaga leather jackets over the years.

#i don't normally care enough to talk about her #now that's it's over some questions about the situation are quite relevant #so doing a mass answer under a cut to spare my mutuals/followers lol #$ #anon asks

[nicoappreciation]

HSNDJFGDGDG okay i’m not gonna answer the happy birthday asks publicly but thank you everyone for the birthday wishes so far 💕💕💕

#not even 30 minutes in #text #my post #not nico #i’m not answering them because i don’t wanna clog people’s dashes #but if you sent me one i saw it and i appreciate you <333

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

@magicofthepen tagged me to post four songs I’ve had on repeat lately!! :D

I’ve decided to put my answers under a cut because they’ve gotten Long and I don’t want to clog up people’s dashes who may not be interested. If you want to hear me ramble about songs and characters I’m currently obsessed with--read on!!

1. Lost by Dermot Kennedy

“When everything was broken The devil hit his second stride But you remember what I told you Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind For fear of moments stolen I don't wanna say goodnight But I'll still see you in the morning Still know your heart and still know both your eyes”

Look at that first verse and tell me that’s not Narvin in the Time War. I dare you. Either way, I won’t listen, because I have decided that it is A Narvin Song and I shall never be convinced otherwise.

One thing that especially gets me is this line: “for fear of moments stolen / I don’t wanna say goodnight”. It calls to my mind one of the most terrifying aspects of the Time War imo: never knowing when someone you love could be completely erased from existence and you’d never know they were gone. For whatever reason it was never even mentioned in the Time War arc (which I personally think was a huge missed opportunity, but also I guess they didn’t have time to try fitting another thing into the space they had).

And then these lines: “But if only you could see yourself in my eyes / You'd see you shine, you shine” could totally be Narvin talking about either Leela or Romana.

2. What Have I Done by Dermot Kennedy

another Narvin song hehehe. can anyone guess which character I’ve been having a lot of feelings about lately???

This one is specifically a Narvin/Leela song--the constant questioning, the way the narrator seems slightly afraid of the feelings they’ve discovered, but at the same time is determined to hold on and do the best they can (”Just be, I wanna get it right for once”).

The lines “Never thought I needed saving / I was right where I should be / Good God, I know it's dangerous / But it's you that I need” make me think of Narvin’s perceived security at the beginning of Gallifrey--he’s risen to the top of the CIA, he’s right where he’s always wanted to be and where he felt he belonged, and he knows how the universe works and what his place in it is. And then he has his entire worldview and everything he ever believed in shattered to pieces in front of him, and he rebuilds himself and his outlook of the universe alongside Romana and Leela, only to discover in shock at some point that he’s put those two at the center of it all.

And then: “Ever since the other night / I've been thinking 'bout the way you smile golden” do I even need to say it but THAT ONE MOMENT IN ERASURE???

3. Orpheus by Sara Bareilles

This one actually is just a song I legitimately like aside from associations with characters and stories, and while it does vibe with some of my favs, I struggled for a long time to figure out exactly who it works best for? Mostly I just think the tune is super pretty.

I guess it does kinda vibe with the Gally Gang in general (specifically the Trio--Romana, Leela, and Narvin), and also I think it fits Nick Beasley and Cordelia Beaumont from the Afterverse books? (especially the second half of the first verse reminds me of how Nick’s entire understanding of the world gets completely flipped on its head in the first book and how he has to cope with that as the series goes on, while I think the line “I hope my love was someone else’s solid ground” fits Cordelia really well)

4. Wreck of a Ship by Tide Lines

existential-angsty folk music my beloved!!

This song is just.... ahhhh. I can’t entirely describe how it makes me feel, except to say that it makes me feel kind of sad in a good way?

“Now I sing with my eyes wide open Because I can’t bear to close them these days And I’ve got nothing here left to remind me I’m a wreck of a ship tossed on the waves”

It’s mournful and has no small degree of yearning and reminds me of a lonely chilly night with bright city lights at your back and nothing but the expanse of a sky full of stars above you and a distant forest at the end of a long winding empty road. It reminds me of both the Twelfth Doctor (sometime around the point of s10) and Narvin (in my headcanons of what happens for him post TW4 👀).

Also I definitely want to use the line “pull my heart across the forest” as a fic title at some point.

I’m going to tag @ladyzayinwonderland @starfightersandscavengers and @as-dreamers-do for this in case they’d like to give it a go next! (only if y’all want to tho, no pressure! :))

#thanks for this tag @magicofthepen!! this was fun!! #I'm going through a bit of a Phase with Dermot Kennedy's music right now #I probably could've done songs of his for all of these but I forced myself to mix it up a little and so only did two XD #and ahhggghhdfhf I've given myself Narvin feels now nice #tag games #gurt says stuff #music

[khaotic-kitsunes]

I wanna know why you only ever write for female readers? Ones that blush a lot too? POC don't blush and you should know better the way you write erases lgbtq and POC

You know, I really didn’t know how to respond to this at first. I mean, I was angry, sure. Upset that this might be what people thought of my writing...but that was this morning, when I first saw the message.

I took the whole day off writing to cool myself off, didn’t wanna reply thoughtlessly and land myself in shit. I tend to get worked up really easily, something I’m working on actually. Self-improvement and whatnot.

And let me tell you, after an entire fucking day thinking about how I should respond without cursing you out, because maybe. Just MAYBE you were trying to do some kind of good deed? I dunno, don’t really care either.

Also, just gonna chuck it under a “keep reading” because this gets LONG. I have some opinions I’d like the sender of this anon to read but I’d hate to clog up people’s dash.

Now, to get on with my answer because hell, I suppose I should address the question. When I started a blog called Kinky Academia a couple years ago now, way back before I left, I had someone say something similar to you regarding the whole “POC don’t blush” and now I can confidently claim: bullshit.

Absolute fucking bullshit.

I actually remember a lot of the advice I was given way back then because it had genuinely upset me that I wasn’t writing correctly when mentioning the whole blushing ordeal. It’s something that I enjoy adding in my scenarios because people blush for MANY different reasons. Anger, embarrassment and the obvious reason, attraction.

So, taking in a lot of the advice that was sent to me through that blog, I immediately cast out the way I wrote people blushing. There was no more “your cheeks turned a crimson red” or pink, or whatever the fuck I wrote back then.

Instead, I write things along the lines of “your face heated up” or “You could feel your cheeks burning with embarrassment”

Shit. Like. That.

To include people no matter what colour they are, mostly because I don’t give a crap what colour skin you have. Unless it’s sunburn...cause, y’know, sunburn sucks and I’d hate to accidentally touch someone with sunburn. I live in Australia, sunburn sucks fucking arse!

Anyway, moving on with my point. Which was that everyone can blush you absolute twat. Might not be as noticeable but most people can feel when their faces heat up, because humans are amazing and can feel temperatures and shit like that. Cool, right?

So that’s gonna put a screeching holt to the whole “POC don’t blush” bullshit you were spouting.

Now, as for why I write for female readers? Because it makes me comfortable. That okay with you?

I would like to clarify that though because it almost sounds really bad and I don’t mean it in a bad way. I don’t care if you’re a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it’s not my business who you fall in love with or how you identify. Okay? If you wanna fall in love with someone, by all means do so. Find that special someone and love them with everything you have, be happy!

When I say it makes me comfortable to write for female readers, I mean that as a female, it’s easier for me to write for female characters. When I’m writing, the words I write? The scenes I describe? I can picture it all in my head, plays like a movie usually.

It’s impossible for me to write for a trans person because I don’t know how they feel things, what would trigger them, the methods they go through for their um process? I hope that’s the right word...oh, no, transition sorry! The methods that they go through for their transition.

I have absolutely zero fucking clue about all that and while I could go to members of the LGBTQ+ community and ask them about it so that I know, so that I could write it. I don’t feel right doing that. 

Life is a bitch, it’s hard and it can be painful and it is absolutely none of my business what a person has done to get where they are currently. So yeah, rather than run around asking people about their personal business and life experiences, I stick to what I feel comfortable writing.

I write female reader scenarios that generally end up getting dicked down some way or another. I even do my best not to specify eye colour, hair length, what size the reader is (though I’m always happy to write for any kind of body type if it’s specified. No hate, I’m a big girl.)

Basically what I’m trying to say is that you can either enjoy my writing or hate it...and if you hate it, then you should really just move on to another blog rather than come hassle me about shit that I don’t think you fully grasp.

Because if you did fully understand what you said to me, I don’t think you would have sent it. It was crude, misinformed and frankly, not something I deserved to have sent to me? All I do is write scenarios and post about my collections, nothing terrible. I’m not spouting off hate for these communities, I’m not causing anyone any trouble; I’m just having some fun on Tumblr and AO3.

I would appreciate it if you backed the fuck off.

🥃 AO3 🥃

~ Erileck moments ~

Becauseeee ~ I wanna treat myself to something good today and I wanted to share some of my relationship with anyone who’s curious. Didn’t wanna clog your dashes so I put everything I wanted to share all together.

Under a cut so people can skip the self-shippy stuff if they wanna!!🥺💜

Word count: 2, 227. (Holy shit???)

(My favourite Joker moment asdfghjk makes me wanna go F  E  R  A  L )

Sometimes when I want Joker’s attention but I don’t know how to ask for it, I’ll sit down beside him and I’ll lean my head against his upper arm. Lightly at first, barely touching him. Working out his reaction. If he stiffens up, I’ll pull away. I know what he is saying. If he remains the same, I relax a bit more. And then a bit more. A few moments later and I’ve got my head on his shoulder. If he kisses the top of my head in response, some of my hair sticking to his greasepaint, it means I found him from wherever he was inside of himself. If he lets me sit there but he doesn’t kiss me, it means he wants me to stay but he can’t, or won’t, for whatever reason, reciprocate. And that’s okay. I know he’ll talk to me when he’s ready and not before. I’ll wait, however long it takes.

We play peekaboo every night. Every night. It makes me giggle when he does it so it’s a win-win situation for the both of us. I always hide my smile; even a slight upwards twitch of my lips or when I know there’s a laugh coming, I’ll put a hand over my mouth and my hand will not move until it’s gone. Joker hates that, it makes him angry. But instead of showing his anger, because he knows I can’t handle that or even any kind of confrontation, we play peekaboo. “Where’s my Erika, hm?” and he’ll gently wrap his fingers around mine and tug my hand away from my mouth. “There she is! There’s that smile I love so much.” I get so embarrassed and I feel silly but Joker - Arthur - is the only one I’ll let myself be like this with.

Joker’s my clown blanket. Every night. I cannot and I will not sleep without my clown blanket. I have my comfort cushion cradled to my chest and Joker knows I won’t let go of it, not even for a game of peekaboo (he tried, once, to swap out my cushion, which looks like his suit, “for the real thing” during a game of peekaboo but I wasn’t having it). So when he lays atop me so we both can sleep, my comfort cushion becomes his pillow and we sleep like that. If either Joker or my cushion leaves me in the night, I’ll wake up and it’ll be hard for me to get back to sleep until I’m holding them again. I have a fear of the dark and an active imagination and a love of horror, so those three things make sleeping difficult sometimes, even with my night lights.

Joker can’t sit with his legs crossed when I’m around because he knows that his lap is my seat. If he’s genuinely busy or not in the mood or if he wants alone time, then that’s one thing and I won’t push; he can find me when he’s ready to, no questions asked. But when he’s in a good mood or when I’m needing some comfort, it’s not unusual for me to descend upon my crimson throne and stay there for hours. I’ll lean forward and shift around to get Joker a cigarette, his journal, a snack off the table or a lighter, or maybe even the remote, but I won’t move. His lap is my favourite seat in the entire apartment and if he crosses his legs when I’ve only just vacated my spot, then I’m asking for it back by putting my hand on his knee and pushing (gently) down. Move for me? Is the question. Joker’s genuine smile is always my answer.

Joker has a gun. He never checks if it’s loaded or if the safety catch is on, and it gives me a heart attack every single time. Once, I walked in on him with it pointed underneath his chin. I moved across the room so damn fast that I surprised myself. “Get. That fucking gun. Away from your face. Now.” A knowing, weary look from Joker but he did as I demanded. Nothing else was said but just as he thought he’d gotten away without me addressing the situation, I grabbed the gun and pointed it at me. I had no other way of getting my point across that it is not a good way to express himself so I could only put him in my shoes and let that make the message sink in. It was emotionally stressful for the both of us and many tears were shed, but I made him promise me to let me help him find another healthier way to express himself. He made me promise I wouldn’t ever pull a stunt like that again. As yet, we’ve both kept our promises. I’m still not sure I did the right thing but what more could I do?

Joker and I have a deal. If I eat, he eats. If I sleep, he sleeps. If I do exceptionally well in taking care of myself, then I get rewarded with Joker applying his makeup on me. If Joker does well in taking care of himself, then he gets rewarded with me wearing the suit which looks like his. It’s unusual but neither of us ever really take care of our own selves. In taking care of each other, we are then cared for properly and it works out well for us. We get frustrated with each other if we don’t take good care of ourselves, which is why we formed this deal with one another. It was Joker’s idea. He didn’t expect me to say yes but he also knows that I won’t ever say no to him (though I take great care to not enable his bad habits or behaviours and I do my best to help him properly) so really, he should have expected me to say yes. I never expected him to propose the deal but I’m so glad he did because I sleep so much easier knowing he’s being taken care of and I suspect it’s the same in reverse, too. 

I drink coffee at the same rate he smokes. My eighteen cups a day against his own habit. Coffee and cigarettes is where most of our money goes, and whenever I buy myself some coffee, I grab Joker a multipack of cigarettes, too. I don’t like the habit but I won’t deny him one of his vices. Joker wouldn’t ever deny me coffee, either. When he lights a cigarette, his eyes automatically check the level of coffee in my mug. From the time I get up to the time I go to bed, my coffee mug is never cold. Music is the only vice we share and it’s the one we indulge in together every single night. That’s Life is my favourite song and Joker calls it the “Erika Mood Checker”. If I don’t smile or squeal or fold in on myself from fangirling so hard, he knows I need some extra lovings. To date, there’s only been three times in the year we’ve known each other that the song hasn’t gotten a reaction out of me so it’s a serious sign if I don’t at least smile.

We don’t give up on each other. Ever. I have pulled Joker out of the fridge more times than I care to admit to, and he’s literally pulled me up to standing from the bathroom floor more times than he can remember. If the other person won’t get out of the fridge or won’t get up off the floor, the other sits down and stays there. No talking, no touching... just a silent and comforting presence until the other person is ready. We know each other so well that so much of what we communicate about stays silent between us. We don’t need to talk - everything’s in our eyes. 

Grabbing the other’s face and saying “I love you” a gazillion times and smothering them in kisses is a daily practice. It makes us both cry when I do it to him. I get upset because I’m so overjoyed to be able to love on Joker as he deserves to be, and Joker cries because how did I ever get so lucky, Erika? When Joker does it to me, it makes him giggle, his lips vibrating against my skin, and I cry because that’s my go-to expression of self. I’m a cryer, I always have been. It doesn’t matter who’s getting loved on, it’ll end up with the both of us crying and the both of us laughing through our tears and wiping the others’ away. We’re very, very affectionate with each other.

Joker has only ever raised his voice at me once. I did something really stupid, I grabbed a saucepan off the stovetop without a towel to shield my hands and I didn’t even think about it (I’m clumsy), and he yelled my name. It sounded like a command and I jumped. I have trauma around raised voices and shouting and conflict and I ended up hiding under the duvet on our bed in tears. It took Joker two hours to coax me out from my hiding place and another three days for me to relax and to realise that he wasn’t mad at me in secret. I really scared Joker during that time and now, if he gets mad at me or is projecting his anger, he very carefully tells me to give him some space because “Joker’s mad, doll, and I don’t want you getting caught up in it”. He seeks me out when he’s no longer angry, I won’t go to him because he asked for space so that means that he has to be the one to look for me when he’s done. No questions asked and everything accepted without judgement. By the same courtesy, though, I shut myself away when I’m angry and Joker leaves me to it. I find him when I’m done, and that’s that. That’s not to say that we don’t support each other, because we do, but Joker never wants to see me scared of his anger again so we make steps to protect the both of us.

We play a game called “who’s got the best bruise?”. Both of us are clumsy and every night we lay in bed before we go to sleep and we ‘show off’ our bruises, making up possibilities of where they came from. Joker’s are deliberately outlandish, to make me laugh (with his hand coincidentally holding mine so I can’t hide my smile), and mine are always really silly, natural moments like, “I bounced off the doorframe because I was excited to see you”. Severe bruises are of course treated with ointment and kissed, so that the love can seep into the skin and speed up the healing (I tell Joker things like that because he never received that kind of comfort in childhood and I try to make up for that).

Sometimes I force myself to watch his segment on the Murray show. He was in so much pain and he was having a national breakdown on television and he was only mocked and unheard, unseen. So when I have doubts about our love or when I just need to remember, I make myself watch it. I always break into tears when he says “the same way you decide what’s funneh or not”. The way his voice cracks on those three words does something to me. Joker just sighs knowingly and affectionately, but also in a painful way because he’s still hurting deeply. He sits beside me and kisses my tears away and begs me to turn it off, but I can’t. I have to see him and his pain. He deserves that, at least. He knows why I do it and I know that he knows that, too. It’s something I have to do sometimes, even though he hates that I do it to myself.

There is nothing we won’t do for each other. That’s not to say I enable him (I do my best not to) or encourage his bad habits and behaviours (I want for him to get the help he needs and I’ll be there for him no matter what), but I would defend him in a heartbeat and I’d set the entire world on fucking fire if it would make Joker smile. I love him and I never let him doubt that for even a second. Joker would burn down the city for me if I asked him to. He cannot stand the thought of me even doubting what we share and it upsets and angers him every time he knows my thoughts have gone down that road. I would light myself on fire to keep him warm, knowing all the while that he’d never ask that of me. Joker would hand me a loaded gun and tell me to point it at him. He’d keep his eyes shut and know I would much rather turn that gun on myself. We have our moments of miscommunication but neither of us would ever hurt the other. Not for anything or anyone. Both of us are full of pain and rage but also of love and we are whole persons on our own but together we complement each other perfectly. Gotham got what it deserved and now so do the both of us.

Not the anon who asked about your sex life influencing your fic...but your response did get me thinking about the reader response....is it awkward to get comments on smut chapters or fics? Some chapters/fics would equal soft porn....how do you comment on that?

Lol. I see that it’s honesty hour on here. Welp. Here goes, Anon. I’m putting this belowa read more so I don’t clog up anyone’s dash board and if you aren’t interested in the answer, then you don’t have to read it.

I can’t answer for other writers, but here are my thoughts on the matter. When I write, I’m usually trying to elicit an emotional response from a reader. I want you to feel something while you’re reading my stories. I don’t expect to astonish you with brilliant plots or dazzle you with witty dialogue. Those aren’t my strong points, or at least I’ve never seen them as my strong points. Sometimes I manage to pull them off, but more often than not, I’m focused on the feelings. I wanna punch you in the emotional gut.

Since I’m aiming for your emotions, I am definitely always prepared to receive comments that wander into personal territory or sometimes verge on TMI, and yes, I have received comments like those, which I think is what you’re getting at with this question. How do I deal with that? Most of it is being prepared to have it happen. Let me be clear so no one starts to think they’ve made me uncomfortable when they haven’t: It really, truly does not bother me or make me feel awkward. Most of the time, it is fun and enjoyable to interact with people reading my writing in this manner.

And thankfully, most of the people who have read and commented on my stories and smut have been really good about not crossing boundaries into awkward oversharing comments. Usually they stick to saying which parts of the story they’ve connected with and why. Sometimes they’ll tell me their stories, too. I love getting comments like those. Absolutely love them. Like that is exactly what I personally want as a writer.

Another way I try to handle it is... okay someone said something privately to me the other day, and it was one of the biggest compliments ever. They told me that I’ve cultivated a kind of trust with my readers and that’s why people come back for more from me. I think, a big part of that trust is that I make a concerted effort to respond to every review on AO3. I’m not as good about it on tumblr because that can get messy and difficult to track. Do I respond to the tags too? Or just the replies? I have my tumblr settings so that not everyone can reply to my posts for a reason. We’ll get to that, though. It’s not that I don’t appreciate comments left in replies on tumblr, it’s just that AO3 gives me a laid out, very linear way to respond and keep track of who I’ve responded too. They also make it easy to go back and point out problems if someone gets belligerent or harasses me or another commenter. Tumblr algorithms suck and the last thing I want to do is make people feel like I’ve ignored them or am somehow leaving them out of the conversation, and unfortunately, that is very easy to do with the way tumblr is set up. Therefore, I usually don’t respond to replies on here unless I feel like there’s something worth saying. It’s inconsistent, I know, which is why I dislike it.

Slight tangent there, but the point is, if you leave me a comment on ao3, unless it is blatantly nasty or antagonistic (which I have gotten a several of those but thankfully not a deluge of them), odds are good that I’ll respond to it eventually. I’ve also gotten better about it over the years, so some of my earlier pieces may have gaps in responses. Hey. I’m human and I was still trying to figure out how I wanted to exist in fandom spaces. Anyways, the point is that if someone connects with the story and takes the time to say it, I’m not going to brush that off. That’s not to say writers who don’t respond to every comment are brushing you off. They have their reasons, and I respect that, just like I have my reasons for trying to respond to every comment.

And in regards to writing sex scenes, specifically, that means I know some of the things people are going to share are going to be extremely private and intimate. And that’s okay. But again, I cannot stress this enough, since I personally am looking for an emotional response, that means I’m also aware that I’m probably going to get those kinds of comments, and I’m perfectly fine with comments from readers that in some way let me know that the smut I wrote aroused them or they found it hot. Or that it inspired them to go pounce on their partner. ;) Honestly why write it if it’s not going to be arousing?

A few examples of comments on my smutty chapters that have made me smile or laugh, and that I am always open to receiving, to include variations of them:

- Well that was hot

- Warn a girl! I fell off my chair!

- I should have known better than to read your update over breakfast

- You warned us but I read it anyways.

- I now have to clear out my google search history. Thanks for that.

- I’m going to need a moment/ a cold shower/ a drink of water

- I should not have read that at the park with my kids/ at work/ around family/ on the bus

- Could you please stop trying to melt my screen?

- Oh my gosh! I can relate to XYZ! So glad you included that.

- Literally any variation of “That felt realistic but also very hot”

I can see how my answer to the earlier ask maybe came across as a reluctance to talk about sex, but it honestly had more to do with the specific question being about my personal life, coming from an anonymous person who I have no way of knowing anything about. Because the only way to answer that is on a public forum, and I have a rather mixed history with Anons and personal stories. Here’s the thing... just because you share something personal with me, that does not automatically make me comfortable sharing something personal with you. Especially if you’re hanging out behind the relative safety of Anonymous.

Fandom is kind of a strange place because it’s a community of creators and consumers all interacting within the same spaces. It can be, in many ways, very intimate. It’s a community. Many of the creators also consume and share the works of others. There’s also some level of sharing personal details and interactions in a public forum, true. It makes for some potentially awkward moments. At the same time, I don’t think anyone should feel obligated to share more about themselves on here than they are comfortable doing so. While I may write a rather large amount of sexual content, and I certainly do not want to stifle healthy discussions about sex or the role of erotic writing in sexuality, I have no interest in sharing graphic or intimate details about my personal life with my spouse on the internet with a lot of people, many of whom I don’t really know or know literally nothing about, just because there’s a handful of people I do know to varying degrees. Just because people are comfortable sharing things with me and just because someone asked, doesn’t mean I’m necessarily comfortable sharing details about my personal life. You may ask a question that I choose not to answer.

Something I wanted to say on that last Anon and forgot to, is that smut inspiration comes from a lot of different places. I read a fair amount of erotic writing. Partly because I enjoy it, and partly because there’s some level of learning from how other people do it (the writing not the sex lol). Yes, some of my inspiration is from real life. No, I’m not giving out a five page dissertation on my sex life, or telling you what was inspired by real life and what wasn’t. I would hope you don’t send me a five page dissertation on exactly what you and your partner did if my smut inspired you to go pounce on them. Just knowing that it turned someone on enough to prompt that is enough of a comment/compliment. I don’t necessarily need the details.

A lot of my inspiration is hard to explain, this weird intangible thing of trying to get my head into that of the characters and how would they feel/respond/act in sexual situations with each other. And there’s also a healthy dose of fantasy. It’s fiction, after all.

Truthfully, I’m trying to assume that particular Anon didn’t mean to pry into my personal life so much as they were asking about craft in terms of writing. I really am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, which is why I tried to deflect with a joke and then answer the question how I’m hoping they meant to ask it. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, although given things that have happened to me in the past two to three years on here, that’s gotten difficult to do with my Anons. I’m a work in progress. ;)

But back to your question... to me, the best policy for dealing with such personal questions and comments has been to be aware that I’m going to get personal comments like that and to treat them the way I would want someone to treat me if I shared something so personal -- to commiserate if I can, always thank them for sharing and for their comment. Sometimes that has led to more personal relationships, but those don’t happen out in the open on tumblr dot com. They’re conducted privately.

That being said, yes. I have had Anons cross boundaries before, and while it’s not exactly what you’re asking about, it was somewhat related. Suffice it to say that I repeatedly turned down requests to write a specific kind of story that hedged into too personal for my tastes. Not my personal story, but theirs. I simply had no interest in writing it for a wide variety of reasons, and Anon did not get the message, no matter how gently I tried to turn them down. There were also repeated requests for smut that started to creep into things that I personally did not want to write about or do not find sexy. For the record -- if it feels like abuse, I don’t find it sexy. We got that covered? Some of those prompts, I stupidly came back to and wrote anyways, albeit not exactly what Anon asked for. I wrote them not as dark and not as toxic as what the prompts seemed to imply. They were still a little out of my comfort zone. I don’t regret writing them for that, but because it seemed to have sent mixed messages. Because I was filling these prompts over here.... Anon seemed unable to accept my declining those over there. In other words... the hundreds of thousands of words I was producing for my multiple multi-chapter fics and in filling all of these random unsolicited prompts, was not enough to satisfy this Anon.

I did not handle the situation the best way possible, I know, and quite frankly that’s because a lot was being dumped on me in a very short amount of time. It wasn’t just this particular anon making demands. There was what I assume (and hope) was drama caused by other people happening simultaneously in the comments on my stories posted to ao3. All of it just compounded to make me feel... violated? That may be too strong of a word, but I didn’t feel safe in fandom spaces. I felt like I was somehow in the wrong in saying “no” and drawing personal boundaries for myself and my sanity. Which is just absurd. Just like I put triggers and warnings all over my writing so people don’t feel blindsided into something traumatic or upsetting they don’t want to read, I and other creators should never feel pressured into creating something we don’t want to make/write or to feel like what we’re doing simply isn’t enough.

Let me be clear... it is extremely flattering to receive prompts as a writer, as well as the personal comments that hinge on some kind of connection to the story, like the ones you’ve asked me about. And again that goes back to the strangeness of fandom and tumblr culture with us all mixed up together here. It is a huge, huge compliment. If you see a writer posting prompt lists, that usually, although not always, means that they’re open to receiving prompts. Even unsolicited prompts can be very complimentary, but understand this... a creator is under no obligation to fill your prompt, solicited or not, but ESPECIALLY unsolicited prompts. I don’t care how complimentary you think it is, sending prompt after prompt after prompt, or filling their inboxes with compliments. There’s any number of reasons a creator may turn down said prompt. Maybe they don’t have time. Maybe you’ve wandered into territory that’s similar to trauma or abuse the creator has experienced and they’re not in the right mind frame to face it. Maybe it simply is not their kink, and that’s okay. Maybe you’re asking them to do something with your personal experience that they don’t feel comfortable handling. Maybe the prompt just does not inspire them. The point is, if the creator says “no” or “not now,” please extend them the courtesy of respecting that boundary. Don’t repeatedly send the same prompt in a different format. Don’t try to cajole them into accepting it with compliments or offers to help write it. Don’t come back a year later and repeat the whole process over again.

At this point, you’re probably wondering how you wound up reading all this garbage from me in response to a simple question. Well, Anon, because the mess with my previous Anon all started with them sharing personal stories and things about their life. Which isn’t to say I don’t want that. I just said several paragraphs up that I don’t mind it and even enjoy it. It was the fact that this particular Anon took it too far and crossed any number of my personal boundaries I was trying to draw. At the end of the day, I felt like this particular Anon was treating me like their personal fanfic writing bitch. Now, that probably sounds harsh and ungrateful. From another perspective, it’s possible they thought of themselves as some kind of muse, but the fact still remains that the whole thing, demanding anons plus nastiness on my stories combined to actually cause a lot of heartache for me. Like in tears, sick to my stomach, hands shaking, difficult to sleep, loss of appetite, unable to write or even enjoy writing when I did try to kind of heartache... and I withdrew from fandom and writing. It took drastic measures for me to come back from that fiasco. I’m still not where I was before. I don’t interact with people here the way I used to. Please, no one take this as an insult, but I’ve kind of taken the policy of narrowing my circle of trust to protect myself. I really don’t want a repeat of what happened to me, and I don’t want to see it happen to others. It’s just easier and safer for me to be... less active and involved. Maybe I’ll get back to my level of fandom involvement I had before, but I can’t promise that. I’ll give what I can and hope that people don’t ask more than that.

At the time all of this was happening, I tried to be polite about it without hurting Anon’s feelings, and the plain fact is, eventually... I had lost the ability to be nice to them and it bled into how I treated anyone who showed up into my inbox anonymously. And it still affects me to this day. It’s always there in the back of my head when I log on here and there’s that sunglasses emoji in my inbox.

I don’t say that to discourage Anons. Not at all.

Okay, all that ranting to circle back to what you were talking about earlier. How do I handle it? I feel like I’ve answered that and then some, however, I want to point out that this is a two way street. Weird fandom dynamics, remember? So, as readers, you have to respect the boundaries creators draw for themselves and understand that they don’t draw them to spite you. They do it to protect themselves. If you want me to be kind and accepting of your personal comments -- which I am absolutely going to do my best to do -- then you as readers should respect it when I draw boundaries. My mistake the last time this happened was in letting it go too long before putting my foot down. I waited until the point that when I did put my foot down, it looked like I was being mean. Maybe I was, but so was Anon in not taking “no” for an answer.

Everyone has their boundaries. And while I’ve got no problem receiving comments that could be considered awkward or personal or even sexual to some degree, other writers might. Pay attention to how they respond or don’t respond when you somehow trip into the gray area of TMI. But you know... did I melt your screen or turn you on with my smut? Of course I wanna know that!

[crysforme]

WELL OKAY HI i believe i have to do some sort of intro post to ask people to come and plot w me because i am in need of social interaction but also in desperate need to find a creative outlet for myself right now, so here goes: everything will be under the cut as to not clog up the tags !!

helllo hi there i’m elle (not my real name but i wanna keep my real name private until i really get to know someone because yep privacy so i guess that’s like an alias), i’m 22, i’m from the est timezone and welcome to my crib. i’m gonna list off some stuff about me like plots i like and rp preferences so yes!!

i prefer rping on discord, i haven’t rped on tumblr in years and with all of the recent updates to the dash, idk if i ever will write on here ever again. i apologize if u are strictly a tumblr rper, unfortunately that’s just not something i can do anymore so if that’s something u need, i may not be the right person to write with!!

i am a big fan personally of plotting! of course, i like having some pre existing connections but i LOVE plotting. if u message me at 3 in the morning with plotting -- i may not answer because i love sleep -- but as soon as i DO wake up, i’ll be SO excited about everything u sent!!

i’m a gigantic fan of doing things like pinterest boards - u’ll notice that i’m ALL kinds of particular about setting those up to give myself inspiration!!

to preface: i do suffer from anxiety and depression -- and i have shown symptoms of bipolar disorder that i’m going to be seeing a psychologist about soon in order to see what they say about that. unfortunately there will be times where i withdraw from things that i enjoy. i’ve done it a few times over the years and then my anxiety has always paused me from starting up the conversation with old partners to start writing again. i’m trying to get better at that so please, if u notice that i seem withdrawn and uninterested, i PROMISE it has nothing to do with you!!! it’s entirely me, something i have to get better at. just give me a few days and hopefully i’ll be back to normal soon!

onto actual writing things though: i love mumus. i’m a big fan of them. pretty much every ship i’ve ever had started out as a 1x1 but very quickly turned into a mumu or at least a ship where even the side characters were expanded upon and had backstories. i’m a whore for character development and world building. 

my favorite types of ships are small town ships, hollywood ships, and zombie apocalypse ships. i love scandalous plots - if u wanna do a hollywood mumu where we have characters that are costars on a show but one of them is married and they fall in love, i am all about that, please give me that, i’ll be ur best friend.

i don’t particularly enjoy writing smut - i know there’s nothing sexual about it in nature between two partners writing smut, however i’ve had partners in the past who enjoyed writing smut in that way and now it makes me uncomfortable, especially as i’m in a relationship and with my past experience on writing smut, i wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that. therefore, i’m gonna ask to refrain from doing it!! again, if that’s something u can’t go without writing, i may not be the person to write with for you.

i can 100% do canon characters or oc! i would probably prefer writing an oc BASED on a canon character because i can mold them more to my own preferences, but i’d be up for the challenge of writing a canon character! some canons i wouldn’t mind trying out include the walking dead, twilight, and criminal minds.

on the flip side!! if we were to do oc’s based on canons i wouldn’t mind doing anything based off of (again) twd, twilight, criminal minds, OR gilmore girls, the office, to all the boys i’ve loved before, pretty little liars, or eye candy!!

if we’re talking general genres to look into that i would love doing: horror (specifically zombie), hollywood, drama, small town, vampires, or werewolves are all things that i LOVE. maybe something inspired by zenon where they’re up in space? anything you present to me, i’ll probably be willing to try!!

i prefer playing females if we’re doing a 1x1 m/f, however if we’re doing a mumu or something, i’d 100% be down to play males!! also i love doing f/f!!

i don’t think i have any fcs that i won’t write with? maybe just like justin bieber/hailey baldwin but i th .. ink that’s it?

 if ur interested in plotting, either like this post or message me on here!

Mod News!

hello!! I have a few little things I wanted to mention to y’all and I figured it be best to do them in a post like this!

Note: this post is actually not that little and is kind of long, so I'm gonna list what I cover at the top and put the rest behind a read more so I don’t clog up your dash!

1: Header Poll News 2: A question I Have 3: About August and Masterpost 4: Thank you!!

1: Header Poll News!!!

Our current rankings are Kokichi and Nagito in the lead with 6 votes, then Chiaki and Kaito at 5 votes! I only plan on putting 5 characters in the header (though I may change that depending on the chosen theme) and its a pretty close race for the next character to hit 5 votes and reach top 5. Currently it’s a 5 way tie. (you can vote here btw if u haven't already!)

It’s a pretty close race in theme right now: 

So I may hold a second theme poll with more limited options! (also thank you to the person who voted space, thats an excellent idea and I *will* save it for a future header)

also some personal notes: - to the person who asked if Kaede was in the listing: she’s not as she was in the July header and so not allowed in August header (to give other characters a chance to shine instead of the same 5 every month!)

- to the person who voted Hajime before I forgot to take him out of the list: I’m really sorry!!!

- to a couple people who voted for more than 5 characters: If that was a mistake, no problem I get it! don’t worry about it! If that was on purpose: please don’t do that, I'd like to polls to be fair for everyone. thank you!

Big thank you to everyone who has participated in the poll so far and who will in the future!

2: A question I have!

As y’all may have noticed, I try to promote Danganronpa Events from all sorts of platforms, including twitter, reddit, etc.

So, I was wondering: Should I make a Danganronpa Fandom Calendar Account on another platform (mainly thinking twitter right now or maybe a discord? not sure) I know asking this on Tumblr means a lot of the people on those other places won’t actually know about it, but I know there’s a lot of us on several platforms. I’ll reblog this post with a link to a straw poll so that you can vote!

3: About August and the Masterpost!

Currently, the only Mod here (me!) is a bit busy with some IRL stuff. It’s the same sort of stuff that caused me to be late on my Monthly Masterpost last month. So I wanted to reassure you guys that the August Masterpost is ready!! I haven’t posted it yet incase I hear of another events in the next few days, but it is scheduled and queued for August 1st! I still need to queue up the birthday’s (Fun Fact: I queue up the birthday posts at the beginning of each month because I’m actually really bad with dates) for August but I’m hoping to do that soon!

4: Just Wanna Say Thanks!

I really want to thank you all for all your support!! This calendar couldn’t exist without everyone who helps keep it running! Thank you to the people who send me events I would’ve missed otherwise! Thank you to anyone who has ever reblogged any of our posts (I read every comment on the birthday posts you guys leave and they’re always really fun) and spread the word of this calendars existence, Thank you to the people who fill out the polls and answer questions, Thank you to all of you who’ve let me know that you enjoy this blog, Thank you for reading this message, Just a big thank you all around! (And yeah, I know I say thank you a lot, but I really am grateful I’m able to run a community calendar and I want to make sure you all know that you’ve helped keep it alive just by being here)

Alright!!! Really long post over! I’ll see you in the reblog with the Strawpoll. Have a wonderful day/night/etc!!

#just mod talking #For those who only want the reblogs and master posts of actual events etc #feel free to block the mod talking tag
