Non-binary reader, if there is a mistake somewhere please tell me and I'll fix it! I am always open for feedback :))

When you started dating Clarisse a lot of people were surprised, it wasn’t often that a child of Hephaestus and a child of Ares got along, let alone date each other. But it had just made sense when you had met her during your first day of camp. You had tried to find what you were good at, with the help of Luke, and as you were trying to figure out how to use the spear he had given you a beautiful girl had arrived.

“Why don’t you let the expert teach them, Castellan?”, the brown-haired girl says with a confident smirk, making you blush. Luke had just rolled his eyes at the words before telling you that he would get you at the end of the hour to try something new.

“Now, you should watch your grip when you wield it,” she says before starting to show you how to adjust your hands, making your skin tingle at the touch.

It wasn’t until later that you realized why so many people had been watching the two of you, Clarisse wasn’t really the type to help someone out or to be patient with anyone. When your father claimed you after two days of being at camp the whole camp had been waiting with anticipation how Clarisse would be reacting to the news, after all she was a proud daughter of Ares.

“I don’t care about who your father is and what beef he has with mine, Ares always has beef with everyone. So, what do you say of ignoring who our parents are and just moving along?”, Clarisse had seemed unaffected, but she had been preparing the speech in her head since last night, when one of her siblings had told her who your parent was. She was hoping that Ares wouldn’t ruin this for her either, she only knew you for three days, but you were someone she cared about, whether she liked it or not.

“I would love that,” you had told her and after that the two of you had stayed close friends, much to everyone’s shock and your sibling’s dismay.

Getting together with Clarisse had been the most difficult part, she didn’t see love as something good or worthwhile. She had seen her mother getting into depressive episodes after Ares left her to raise Clarisse alone and she didn’t want to ever experience that, let alone be that cause of someone’s pain. It had taken you a while to try and convince her that you could be something more than just friends and that love was something incredible to experience.

“I just don’t want to hurt you or lose you, it would hurt far too much,” she had told you once, when the laughter of the campers could be heard from far away.

“Wouldn’t it hurt more to know that we could have been something but that we just didn’t try? I know that we are demi-gods and that we could die any day but I don’t want to die and regret not having had a chance to spent every single day with you and showing you how much I love you,” there were tears in her eyes at your words, and you could see the conflict in her eyes before she brought you into a soft kiss, as if she was scared she could break you.

“You’re right,” she had whispered before bringing you back into a kiss, this time more fervent as she showed you just how much she loved you.

It had been two years since then and you couldn’t be happier, watching Clarisse spar with her siblings and preparing for Capture the flag while you made some flowers out of a few things you had found around your working area.

“That for me?”, you hear behind you before your feel a soft kiss on your cheek.

“It is,” you tell Clarisse as she sits next to you, watching the intricately woven nuts and bolts you had found around.

“I love it, thank you,” she tells you before bringing you into a kiss.

“I’ll add it to my collection,” she says with a bright smile, already trying to figure out where she was going to put it.

“I’ll see you after capture the flag?”, you ask her, and she nods in agreement as a pout forms on her lips.

“I can’t believe you aren’t going to be playing capture the flag today,” you smile softly at her words before taking her hand in yours.

“Well, I need to teach every single thing I know to my new sibling but next time I’ll be there,” you promise her and enjoy the satisfied smile on Clarisse lips.

“Fine, but I need a good luck kiss first,” she whispers, and you quickly do as she requests, smiling as she deepens the kiss.

“See you later sunshine!”, she tells you before joining her siblings, making you smile as you watch her putting on her armour.

It was just an hour later when you heard the door of your cabin slam open, your new sibling looking scared at the sound, as if he was expecting a monster to come in. But it was Clarisse, tears in her eyes and a broken spear in her hands.

“Why don’t you go to your station and work a little bit on the things I taught you?”, you quickly ask your sibling, who quickly scurries out of the room.

“Clarisse?”, you whisper as you look at her trembling form, she looks like she is desperately holding back her tears but as you carefully put your hand on hers, she breaks down.

The tears are falling down her cheeks as you bring her into a comforting hug, holding her close as she holds on to you for dear life.

“What happened?”, you ask her softly, hoping not to make her cry even more at your words.

“That new kid, he broke my spear,” she whispers, and a sob leaves her lips at the words, making you hold her tightly.

“Gods, I’m so sorry Clarise, I know how much it meant to you,” you whisper in her hair, wishing you could go back in time and save it.

“It was the only thing he ever gave me, to show me he cared and now it is gone,” she says, tears falling into your t-shirt, but you don’t care as you try to calm her down.

It takes a moment to calm her down, stroking her hair and letting her talk it all out. You know better than to say it was going to be okay, she had just lost something incredibly valuable to her and you didn’t know what to do.

“I can try to fix it,” you whisper softly, and it takes a few seconds before she moves her head to look at you, teary eyes looking into yours.

“You can?”, she whispers, hope appearing into her eyes, and you smile lovingly at her.

“I can try, I can’t promise anything about it still being able to burn someone, but it can be repaired. Nothing is too broken to be fixed,” you tell her, and she takes a deep breath, like she is trying to get herself back together.

“If you can do that, I think that I will marry you,” she says with an emotional smile, and you laugh softly at her words.

“Common let’s see what we can do,” you whisper before taking her hand and bringing her to your station.

It takes time to put it back together, as the metal had been broken by Percy’s sword but after finding the right metal to fix it you manage to bring the two pieces back together.

“And there we go, nearly as good as before,” you tell her as she looks over the spear, watching how it was once again a whole spear and not two broken parts.

“Thank you,” she whispers with concealed tears in her eyes, but you just shrug your shoulders.

“It was my pleasure, now I can watch you train with it again,” you tell her, and she looks excited at the words, she kisses you lovingly on the lips before dragging you to the training ground, an excited smile on her lips.

Quick rant on some stupid discourse

“This fandom doesn’t take horror seriously!1!!1!1 it’s just a bunch of ocs!1!1!1!1😡” Bro, Creepypasta has always been goofy af. Even the word“Creepypasta” sounds goofy. Literally every Creepypasta Character is someone’s oc, made my a traumatized angsty teen or young adult in 2011-2016. You expect us to read some silly shit like Jeff the Killer and be shaking in our boots? (Still like Jeff btw) Get real. I like the “realistic and scary” portrayals of the Creepypasta characters too! But I also love fanon. This fandom was literally based off fun. I hate when ppl come with this “im better than you” mindset bc they don’t like fanon/ want them to be scary only. I really can’t stand it. This fandom has always been based on fun and comfort. Everyone made the popular Creepypasta characters for fun and sometimes to vent/ be a self insert. Ppl are acting like we didn’t have comics and fics where they lived in a mansion together and chilled like a family with a y/n insert because ppl were comforted by these characters , myself included. Ppl act like we didn’t always have goofy/ silly fan art. Ppl act like these aren’t vent characters that brought comfort to lots of ppl. Ppl act like the creators themselves didn’t make silly, goofy fun content with their own characters. (Laughing jack, ticci Toby, bloody painter, etc for example all their creators drew them/ portrayed in fun ways in content I still rewatch) Let’s not forget our roots. Creepypasta (the character based side of it) is still so loved and popular because of the fun stuff like that that people can look back on fondly. Why does it make you so mad that ppl want to use the characters differently than you/ make fanon content? So these “ocs” are only decent/ okay when you use them your way and have your seal of approval??? Please be serious. This is coming from someone who likes Fanon and canon. One isn’t better than the other. You’re not better than everyone else because you want to make them “realistic and scary” let that mindset go. Let people have fun. Let people find comfort where they want. Seeing people having fun and being comforted shouldn’t make you mad. The block button exists and is free. Just block them and only interact with the side of the fandom you want to see. There’s multiple sides of it. I block content I don’t want to see all the time. Doesn’t mean I hate these people or their content, I just don’t want to see it personally. But I don’t go around unironically shaming people for content I don’t like. Because that’s dumb. (Unless it’s something awful like using offenderman, demonizing mental illness etc I have called people out for this, semi - respectfully before) Shaming people for not portraying Creepypasta characters made my angsty teens and adults in the way you specifically want to see them/ be portrayed is just so silly. This fandom doesn’t revolve around you and what you want. Or anyone for that matter. Respect other people. No one��s “better” than anyone. Because everyone sees and uses and portrays the characters differently and that’s always been the best part of this fandom. The freedom, creativity, fun and comfort. That’s how it’s always been. Nothings changed.

Taters

Karlach x Reader/Tav

A/n: I live temporarily. Back with another fandom. Small ramble note at the bottom.

Winter was just around the corner, causing the night air to chill as of late. You used to hate the cold, it reminded you of… less fortunate times. However, these days you've found yourself slowly being able to see the beauty of it, reason being your beautiful girlfriend, who’s kept you perfectly warm every night, safe and protected against any unsavory memories.

The amazing tiefling who's stolen your heart has kept you company for countless evenings, with each one feeling as special as the last. But this time you find yoursef pondering, a memory—or rather a word—that you couldnt quite shake off.

Taters.

It was just such a bittersweet moment for you both. You thought her family using words just for them was such a cute thing to do, it seemed to make Karlach so happy. It kicked some gears in your brain into motion, so much so that you happened to mindlessly utter it out.

“Pardon, love?” Karlach craned her head to look at you atop her chest.

“Oh– nothing, was just lost in thought–”

“Ah, well taters, either way” She grinned from below you.

Your heart melts a little inside of you. How was anyone allowed to be this cute? Yhe universe is unbelievable.

“Yeah… listen Karlach, ive been thinking about something” You trail off slightly, not quite sure on what you actually want to say.

Karlach tilts her head slightly to the side. A worried frown painting her features. “Something wrong?”

“No, I just… happened to think about your family… The language you had together, you said you were the last remaining speaker. I want to change that.” You held her hand as you talked, both for her reassurance and yours. You mindlessly toyed with it as you spoke.

Karlachs eyes widened.

“You want to kill me!?” She gasped incredulously. “I knew it was only a matter of time… I wouldnt mind if it was you though, make it quick” She stuck her bottom lip out and wiped a fake tear from her eye, while the other hand held yours to her chest.

You snatched your hand from where she held it and lightly bopped her on the forehead, looking only mildly amused.

“As if.” You scoffed lightheartedly.

Karlach grinned. “Of course, so what about my parents?” There was a faraway look in her eyes. Shes told you that she loves talking about her parents, but being a little sentimental about it was unavoidable.

“The uh… the language you had together, what other words did you guys have?”

“You want to know about the gibberish we spoke?” Karlach smiled, unsure.

“Yeah, it was a big part of your childhood, I want to make more good memories with those words… maybe with a family of our own.” You sunk your face into the firm muscle of her shoulder, partly because it was comfy, but partly to avoid looking at her, in case she didnt agree.

“I cant believe you just brought up the idea of a family before I could. How dare you.” The pitch of her voice raised towards the end. She narrowed her eyes at you.

“Oops” You giggle, face still smooshed against her skin.

“Hmph.” She scoffed. “Give me a moment to remember, im sure I can dig up some of them.” Karlach gazed at the ceiling, mind drifting back to her childhood.

“Lets see… chess… chess meant a kiss… Yeah, I think I remember being grossed out because I saw my parents giving each other ‘chesses’.” Karlach chuckles softly at the memory.

“Chesses? Thats… oddly fitting for a kiss.” You smiled. “What else?”

“Sheesh just give me a moment” Karlach pouts. “Cant let a woman think for shit in here” She huffs.

“So dramatic. Just take your time.” You rolled your eyes.

Karlach scoffs, but otherwise stays silent for a moment, collecting little anecdotes from her childhood.

“Hmm… Blankets were called ‘warmers’ I think”

“Simple and straightforward, I like it.” You grin

“Right?” Karlach laughs, a beautiful sound. You cant help but snuggle up impossibly closer into her. And she holds you just a little bit tighter.

“Then…” Karlach trails off slowly, hand unconsciously starting to pet your head. “Hm. Sorry soldier, cant remember any more right now.” Karlach sheepishly smiled.

“Thats okay, we can try again tomorrow. I think let's just sleep, i'm tuckered out”

“Sounds great.” She presses a kiss to your forehead.

~~~~~

The conversation is mostly forgotten by her, whose been busy with choosing only the best produce for you both at the market. She left before you woke up, hoping to surprise you, but it seems she got too caught up with haggling with the shop ladies, so that plan was out the window.

As soon as she enters your shared cabin, youre immediately clung onto her.

“Chess.” You peel yourself away from the hug momentarily to face her with a kissy face at her while pointing at your face.

Her brows furrows before they relax and melt into an expression of surprise and awe. She leans down to give you a small peck then envelops you in a large bear hug.

“Gods, have no clue how happy that made me” She grins widely.

“Yeah? Prepare to be happy a lot more then.” You preen at the feeling of being able to make her feel like this.

“Thats going to be difficult considering im already always happy when im with you.” Karlach looks at you adoringly. To an almost painful degree.

The emotions rushing into you felt a little overbearing. Your eyes narrow and your muscles stiffen. “Im getting cuteness aggression.”

“Im honored.” She smirks.

“Stop or else I will actually fall to the floor.”

“I cant, youre too amazing. But don't worry if you fall, ill make sure to nurse you better myself.” Her voice was teasing, but held affection all the same.

“Just stop talking to me.” You bat at her shoulder stiffly as your face sits in a lighthearted scowl.

“Alright, ill lay off from the sweet talk for a little bit. Just for now.” She relents.

“Somehow that makes it even worse. Im going to feed the pets. Bye.” You move robotically, movements restrained from the rush of the pure emotions.

Karlach chuckles to herself, used to your mannerisms. Youll be back, and in the meanwhile, she supposes she’ll be cooking breakfast for the both of you.

“Alright love, taters!” She waves. She takes the produce from the bags and prepares them to be cooked.

Not long after, she hears a loud crash swiftly followed by your voice.

“Im fine!” You hurriedly shout. God forbid she saw the mess you made from recoiling when she called you.

Karlach shakes her head as she continues washing the vegetables. You were one hell of a person, and she couldnt see herself with anyone else.

A/n#2: AGHHH I FINISHED ITTT. Listen I had an idea but I dont know how to actually write it. I guess its still cute but it has strayed from what i have envisioned. Started with the original prompt then turned into a sort of domestic bliss/banter thing? I dont know. Anyway, this became a shameless self insert but its okay because its my fic. also dont ask about the made up words im uncreative.

Sorry for the ADHD rant this is how I am when im supposed to be sleeping, till next time guys <33

I am SO close to finishing Baldur's Gate 3... I think, I've been saying that for the past 20 hours lol, but I really want to gush about Karlach! Once I've actually finished the game I'll probably make a proper post talking about her in a more structured way from a disability standpoint but I just really want to talk about her now lol.

[ID: A gif of Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3, a tall woman with red skin, one black horn, black hair and glowing orange eyes. She is covered in scars and tattoos, her chest glows and she is dancing on the spot in front of a cluttered tent./end ID]

I did not know how much my inner child needed to see someone like her on screen. Strange thing to say about a character from a game that's intro features worms crawling into your eye in hell but its true.

I have massive burn-like scars all over my my lower body, especially my legs, and while I always (mostly) saw the amputations they came with as just a part of me, I had much more negative feelings about those scars, well into my young adulthood, but especially as a teenager. It wasn't helped by the fact that while most folks had the decency to keep their comments about my visible disability... neutral-ish, the comments about my scars ranged from "you should cover those up" to "that's discusting" and young children literally crying at the sight of them. On top of that, every time a character with scars like mine was in the media, they were either the villain, used to teach others a lesson about not being mean or to teach that chatacter a lesson about how beauty is on the inside or how to love their appearance despite thier scars (that they'll be sure to tell you they think are hideous).

But karlach isn't any of those things. She's confident and literally walks around armour that show her scars by default. No one calls her gross or tells her to cover them. Her scars are never brought up as a negative at all, at least that ive seen, they're never something that detracts from her appearance. She never tries to hide them or gets insecure about them. When you romance her, there's no comment about if you're sure you can find "someone with scars like hers" attractive. Characters in the game dont find her attractive in spite of them, they just find her attractive. Full stop. They're just, there. And what's more, the fandom, for the most part, seems to agree. I have seen so many people swooning over her, and they almost never bring the scars up. People don't care, they just think she's hot! (There will always be outliers of course but they seem few and far between in my circles at least lol).

And my God, it's SO refreshing! Don't get me wrong, it's not inherently bad to have chatacters be insecure about things like scars (Wyll has a few moments of insecurity around his, and I think it's done well) but it's so nice for it to not be the central focus for once, or even really a big at all. Especially for a woman character.

I was so convinced as a teenager that no one would find me attractive because of those scars. Scars like Karlach's. I'm older now, I have worked through it all, and any lingering insecurities I had on the subject were shut down when me and my partner got together. But 15/16 year old me desperately needed to see a chatacter like Karlach, and im so happy she exists now!

hey krash, i wanted to reach out and say that i'm so sorry that you got such a hurtful reaction from one of the l&co servers for speaking up about something that genuinely needed to be addressed. i won't badmouth anyone in particular but this is not the first time this fandom has dogpiled someone over a misunderstanding, and when it happened to me i had severe anxiety over it for about a week even after it was resolved, and eventually left because of it. it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth for the fandom in general, so i mostly just stick to my small group of mutuals now lol. i wish this fandom truly was different from other fandoms, but this kind of thing is unfortunately inevitable once something reaches a certain level of popularity. but that certainly doesn't make it okay, and you didn't do anything to deserve the reaction you got. i hope you can feel peace about it soon, and i'm sorry again that it happened at all. 🫂

(please don't feel pressured to answer this if you'd rather the matter be left alone, i totally understand. i just wanted to send you an ask because i didn't know if you're comfortable with dms.)

hi im so sorry i forgot to answer!!! thank you so much this means so much to me. 💙💙💙 i read this for the first time when i was feeling pretty attacked and it really cheered me up <3

hmm other people have been telling me about how they got attacked in this fandom too. and maybe this shouldn't have surprised me as much as it did. but it's something fans never talk about and claim doesn’t exist, so i thought it didn’t. i was horribly fooled lol. as, uh, i am about to rant about; do you mind? u don’t have to read it, i won’t be offended, but halfway thru answering this ask it turned into a rant i wanted to release into the world lol, so sorry about that 😭😭😭

very important disclaimer!!! this is NOT about everyone. ABSOLUTELY NOT. most of you are absolutely amazing people, and i assure you if ur worried this is about you, it’s prob not lol

ANYWAYS!!!

im kind of feeling i was betrayed?? ig? i rlly believed everyone was so kind, and look what i know now. it genuinely seems like people are gaslighting themselves. how else do they only see our ‘harm?’ yeah, our fandom is known for being passionate, but saying we’re known for kindness is starting to make me sick. maybe we were, i know a lot of us still are, but throwing that out there in the middle of your hypocritical hate post seems like justification for the shit things people have been saying. you can say no wrong so long as you’re here. only people who don’t agree with you. so yeah, fuck krash and ljc and anyone else who doesn't agree!!! that totally shows how kind you are and how much you loved the fandom before we messed it up. nobodys visibly mad, cuz we're too scared to say shit!!!

i’ve seen too many examples of the contrary from the “victims,” wailing about how cruel we are the second they disagree with someone. (in a highly hypocritical manner, at that.) “everyone was so happy before this!” no, they weren’t, that’s why i brought it up. “stop bringing hate to this fandom! now let me fucking berate you!” do you even hear yourself? “nobody even cared before, we were all content!” we weren’t all content, we were just silent. it sometimes looks the same.

someone even declared they were leaving the fandom because ‘one person wanted to stop show saving efforts entirely because it traumatized them, and this is no longer a safe place.’ like, what? where did you even get that? for one, there were at least two of us posting together, and that’s just barely knowing anything about what’s happening. thats not even touching on how one of us (idk who the op of that post was talking about, it’s a 50/50 lol) made the fandom an unsafe place for our personal gain. what?

hella kind. hella safe on their part.

another said they saw only old fans agreeing about this so it’s just us being pissed about change. it’s us hating the show. me and ljc being upset about not being the only “big blogs” any more. our fandom is only for the elite, etc. fuck us. yet ljc is getting blackmailed. we’re getting hate replies. friends that try and help get attacked. misinformation spread. how did that even happen? we never once tried to hurt anyone; thank you to those who understand.

but to some, WE’RE the ones in the wrong.

do they SEE themselves? how hypocritical all of this is? or are their heads that far up in the ass of their petition and beloved fake idea of this fandom that they care about more than all of us?

now, this is where i add another “not everyone” message. not everyone is like this, this is not me saying i hate the petition or people who support it. hell, i signed the petition. twice. and once more from my mothers email.

i don’t regret the i love you posts i made, because i still do love this fandom, i am still absolutely here for the rest of yall. but DAMN if we weren’t hiding something under happy Save The Show, I Love Locknation! messages. perfectly smiling faces until they bite. i was surprised to see how many people did.

as if our previous problems weren’t enough, now it turned into this lol. no, that’s a lie, it didn’t. it already was, and i HATE THAT.

ig im kinda spoiled, i never really experienced hate like this from this fandom before. but now i know it happened BEFORE too, and that just pisses me off. it hurts coming from a group who says they love us. genuinely wacko (not the fun kind) behavior :[

i know this isn’t everyone’s experience, but it is mine, and enough others to make me wanna say this. and this is ofc me and @lucy-j-carlyle 's brand of hate, not yours. but it does happen and the constant chant that IT DOESN'T IT DOESNT IT DOESN'T isn't helping anyone. and now I know.

idk what im even saying anymore lol, sorry for ranting. what i mean to say is, thank you, and i wish things were better. and i love you kind people. im happy it’s most of you.

#💙💙💙💙#if people hate on the person who asks me this !!! you will have to get thru me (i am 5’4)#okay but pls i’ll take the fall. genuinely #they did nothing wrong #im the one who answered in rant form #lockwood and co #literally idk what just happened sorry for the word vomit

after making the mistake of opening the qrts of the translation of what baghera said i am just. done. every single "bad" thing that's been going on with the admins situation lately just gets blamed on the hispanic community and at this point im just. tired. im done.

every single time a new development happens is always hispanics who are the toxic ones, the ones who are only hyper defensive, the onlyones who are attacking the ex-admins, the ccs, the union. it's always "hispanics".

i genuinely dont think that anyone really realizes how ostrazising that is even for those of us who are sympathetic for the ex-admins. or how it must feel for the hispanic admins who stayed.

i have seen hispanic people mention they feel ashamed of speaking spanish again because of feeling guilty, or how they feel that if they speak the same language as Q others will treat them badly. and i have even seen hispanic people talk about how they have been blocked by others here simply for explaining why others could see specific comments as xenophobia

hell if people tried to explain anything about that at that time people talked about how they were "trying to divert from the situation" or "attacking the admins personal morals", instead of actually sitting and wondering if something said could have been maybe worded better

it's kinda sad that the "sense of togetherness" or "community" that this situation has clearly brought to some people in this community has come to the cost of other members of this community slowly but surely just. stop feeling welcomed at all

and people truly dont even realize

idk at this point i just feel like im just an old man yelling at a cloud

Thanks for the clarifications ! Lets do a all min one post for clarity purposes here I hope it’s okay

Link to the tweet/thread you’ve mentioned :

https://x.com/bagheraenglish/status/1782841547580461499?s=46&t=fDVoT5qDN_AAqnxYhZF3uQ

This is a translation of this thread by Baghera :

https://x.com/baghera__jones/status/1782573062853971978?s=46&t=fDVoT5qDN_AAqnxYhZF3uQ

So this thread was made the day after Baghera had made a random comment about adding a translation mod to the french ccs smp if they were to play on it again.

When the updates account translated this part, some Q fans took her comment as mocking/being negative towards Q and/or the QSMP and started a hate wave against her (and against french qsmptwt accès who were trying to explain that the comment wasn’t negative + brazilian community was catching strays as well bc they always do for some reason).

I’ve looked at the comments and QRTs and haven’t seen people pointing out the whole hispanic community and blaming them for the situation but as you said this was like a week ago so tweets may have been deleted. Most people are blaming Q fans because fact of the matter is that they were the ones harassing her. This was also two days after Q fans were bullying sunny’s admin because she has said she was the one who gave sunny their personality. Plus the fact that in general, Q’s community has been extremely toxic since the start of the admins situation.

I’m generalising here when I say Q fans, obviously not all of them are being toxic or anything, and it sucks that I have to generalise but sadly the behaviour of a vocal part of his fandom has really reflected poorly on Q’s community.

However it’s unacceptable that people are using it to throw the whole hispanic community under the bus and being xenophobic. Absolute shitty behaviour and goes against every value this project is about ???? Literally does nothing other than spreading hate, breaking people apart plus it fails to identify who are the ones causing problems in the first place by lumping people who have done nothing wrong with them.

For the qsmpblr minecraft server I have literally no context about it don’t know anything about the server or the people in it so idk what to say really except that being driven out of a multicultural fan space because your concerns are being ignored really really sucks. I’d say try to address it with them or raise this issue publicly if u have to but I’m not in your shoes so idk if you would be comfortable/have the energy to do so.

(edit about the qblrsmp for unknowing ppl : apparently this is tied with other things that happened between anon and the other members so the story goes deep and is complex)

MONICA!!!!!! The concert was so good!!!! 😭😭😭 I’m assuming you’re ok with spoilers so here goes 😬

The first half of the show was them playing and recreating the key scenes and singing in them which I thought would trigger me tbh but instead I think it did me good to see the scenes I loved again 🥹 and Jimmy, Mark and Sea were so freaking good they cried in some scenes and I cried seeing them cry and it was so emotional again!!! I really wanna go back and rewatch all the good parts now, it’s still 80% a really good series!!

And they did Blame the Stars together!!! And you saw they did the “can I have my shirt back” scene!!! 😵🫠

(They played the breakup scene but not the reconciliation, it kinda just skipped to “happy ending” and I’m actually glad that we don’t have to rehash all of that)

They did full group songs and unit songs and what got to me was that MarkNamtan and OhmFilm did songs but so did NamtanFilm and MarkOhm!!! The NamtanFilm song was 😙👌

They did a whole Vice Versa medley!!! They did it for me!!! 😄 I was so happy and excited to see it!!! I hope that gets more of the newer fans to go watch it!!!

Jimmy, Mark and Sea had solo moments too, love that for them!!

They were surprised with a fan made video in support of them!! 🥰

Their speeches at the end were emotional and everyone cried, including me 🥹 Sea went second to last and Jimmy went last and he spoke the most 😁

It was just under 4 hours long, it started a little late (as all GMM concerts do tbh) but it was so good and worth only getting 4 hours of sleep 😅 I really hope you get to see it and enjoy it too!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR LIVE STREAMING EXPERIENCE OF THE LAST TWILIGHT CONCERT WITH ME KAREN!!!!!!!!

ngl reading this and seeing all the clips on twitter is making me want to buy the ticket for the rerun so badly like i always knew it was gonna be great and that everyone was gonna give their all but damn. the concert actually felt so well organized and thought out, i love that they basically turned the show into a musical and gave space for all kind of performances and pairings!!!!!! i've always wanted a duet version of blame the stars and im so happy they finally gave it to us!!!!!! and seeing namtanfilm and markohm slow dance alongside jimmysea was such a blessing THEY TRULY SAID THERE AIN'T NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE LEFT IN THIS SHOW

i really wasn't expecting it, but tbh i feel the same way as you. i think this did me good. maybe im just saying this because i haven't seen any videos of the break up scene so i can just keep pretending it never happened, but the parts i did see are kind of healing the hurt i've been feeling over the last three episodes of the show and bringing back all the love and excitement i used to have for morkday

ALSO NOT TO BE DRAMATIC BUT JIMMYSEA SINGING THE ENTIRETY OF THE VICE VERSA OST WITH A BRIGHT PINK STAGE SURROUNDING THEM MADE ME CRY LIKE A BABY like i truly did not expect them to bring vice versa up because last twilight is what brought them the popularity they always deserved so i was afraid they would kinda forget about vice versa, but im honestly just so ridiculously happy and emotional to know that it's still in their heart. or at least that they know it's still in ours, even if we may be a minority in the fandom now

i already had a meltdown over jimmysea this morning and i really can't afford another one and i don't think i would even have the words to express everything i feel but. im just so proud of them. it's honestly insane to me that they were able to pull off a performance like this in such a short period of time and with such a busy schedule. their dedication, their hard work, their kindness..... I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS THESE TWO BOYS DESERVES ALL THE LOVE AND RECOGNITION IN THE WORLD

#THIS IS SO LONG AND YET I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER THINGS I WANTED TO SAY AND SCREAM ABOUT #BUT ALSO I FEEL SO EMOTIONALLY FLAYED OPEN I DON'T THINK I COULD SAY ANOTHER WORD #IM JUST SO HAPPY JIMMYSEA GOT TO HAVE THIS AND THAT IT WAS SUCH A HEALING EXPERIENCE FOR US #THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE AND YOUR FEELINGS WITH ME KAREN!!!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜#jimmysea #karen 🧡#m: ask

rockstar au :) it’s not jeongyeony enough, but i did my best with the jeongmo! been thinking about them a lot lately...

deep in slumber and covered in a thin blanket, jeongyeon is the first thing momo sees when she wakes up. momo tries to get up, almost falling to the ground, dizzy, a victim of her own mistake of drinking recklessly the night before.

momo was angry early in the morning. she thinks about what brought her there in the first place — she was drunk and ended up at jeongyeon’s place. they weren’t talking to each other, and part of that was momo’s fault, but stubbornness prevented her to say the words that jeongyeon deserved to hear after dealing with momo’s maddening behavior the night before.

“fucking sorry,” momo huffs out to herself, putting on the belt, the last item missing of her clothes. she found it next to jeongyeon’s panties, on the ground. momo rolls her eyes, aware that she’d slept with jeongyeon again, after promising she wouldn’t do it a thousand times while she got drunk the other night. “you should be the one to say sorry.”

truthfully, momo knew jeongyeon didn’t want anything to change — their friendship had always been like an open relationship. they’d kiss, fight, sleep together, sleep with other people, and nothing would change. but that’s until jeongyeon met tzuyu, and then everything went down.

in momo’s mind, jeongyeon didn’t prioritize her anymore, because tzuyu came first. it wasn’t really like that — tzuyu had a busy schedule, whenever jeongyeon could spend time with her, she would. that didn’t mean she was ignoring momo or leaving her as a second option, like momo thought.

but then again, things had to be complicated between them. nothing was ever simple. momo didn’t like tzuyu and she wouldn’t be surprised if jeongyeon decided to put an end in their 'friends with benefits' arrangement for that girl.

despite knowing she’s being petty, momo leaves without saying goodbye after gathering her things.

“come here,” nayeon pulls jihyo to her lap. “it’s probably not making it to the album but it doesn’t matter. it’s for you.”

nayeon had insisted to bring jihyo to the studio. it was jihyo’s lunch time, she shouldn’t waste it, but nayeon wouldn’t give up until she got to show jihyo the song she’d written for her. the demo was still lacking of instruments, but nayeon’s voice, the guitar and her poor skills with audio editing did the trick.

“you made me come here to hear a song?” jihyo looks back questioningly, finding out that she’d been played with. nayeon told her it was something serious, and that she should meet with her as soon as possible. “im nayeon…”

“it’s worth it!” nayeon whines. she takes the headphones on the table, and before putting it on jihyo, she makes a promise. “it will be the best song you'll ever hear. and i, the love of your life, wrote it for you!”

“i should be having lunch. you tricked me,” jihyo groans. nayeon pecks her lips, apologetic, and then she presses the space bar on the keyboard to start the song.

nayeon is beyond proud of what she’s created. she wrote down the lyrics after jihyo took her back, and it feels like something that the band has been missing — something that carries their style but is cheerful, unlike their latest releases.

jihyo takes the headphones off as soon as the song is over.

“did you like it?” nayeon interrogates, eyes filled with expectation. she’d worked hard on that song, even going as far as producing the demo by herself, knowing it wouldn’t be the same if she had help from others.

“queen of hearts, huh…” jihyo shakes her head just slightly, opening a smile. “the way you wrote it made me feel like one of your groupies.”

“queen of your heart.” nayeon smiles widely, placing a kiss on jihyo’s shoulder. “but you’re kind of a groupie. you go to our concerts, buy our albums, you know everything about us… and i’m your bias, of course.”

as nayeon lists the reasons why jihyo could be in their fandom, jihyo bursts out laughing. she fixes herself on nayeon’s lap so that she was sitting sideways and wraps her arms around nayeon's neck.

“i only go to the concerts because my girlfriend and my best friend are there! and i don’t buy the albums, you give them to me. what’s funny is that they always come with your photocards…” jihyo squints when she mentions the fact that nayeon purposefully removed the other girls’ pictures and gave jihyo the ‘nayeon only’ version of the albums. “besides, my bias is momo.”

the way jihyo says it seems way too sincere, and nayeon’s grip on her waist tightens. the rockstar’s smile is suddenly gone and jihyo’s only gets bigger. as if it couldn't get any worse, nayeon’s heart sinks when jihyo grabs her phone and shows nayeon the photocard she’d recently acquired, under the clear case.

“what? why?! when did you get this? jihyo!” nayeon squeals, her face getting redder. jihyo really carried momo’s photocard around, and to make it worse, it was one of the rare ones.

“momo gave it to me.” jihyo chuckles, kissing nayeon’s flushed cheek softly. “are you mad?”

of course she was — nayeon was about to call momo and make a full interrogation to find out why she gave that to her girlfriend. little did she know that jihyo asked for it herself, not lying when she said momo was her favorite.

“you know what? i’ll delete this song. ask momo to write one for you,” nayeon mumbles grumpily, hands reaching the laptop on the table. “she’s the real queen of hearts.”

“oh, come on,” jihyo hugs her, affectionately, peppering kisses against nayeon’s cheek. even if nayeon was upset, she couldn’t resist it. “you are my queen of hearts… daddy.”

nayeon groans at the way jihyo calls her. “take it back or i will take more from you than just your lunch time.”

jihyo mashes her lips and looks at her watch. “i have ten minutes.”

just when nayeon gets up with jihyo on her lap, ready to place her on the table and remind jihyo that she was the only one capable of taming her, momo breaks into the studio.

“fuck,” nayeon curses, sitting back on the chair, jihyo settling back on her lap. “what are you doing here?!”

“i’m working.” momo says, as if it was the most obvious thing, and then looks at jihyo with a softer expression. “hey there, pretty girl. aren’t you supposed to be working?”

nayeon gasps. “you’re calling her ’pretty girl’ now?! momo, you-”

“i’ll see you later, baby,” jihyo interrupts her, before nayeon can say anything to momo. she then pecks nayeon’s lips, getting up from her lap. “behave.” she whispers that last part only for nayeon to hear.

the look on jihyo’s face is enough to make nayeon shrug, still frowning but she'd obey. jihyo greets momo and then leaves, the ten minutes she could’ve used getting something else from nayeon were now added to the time she had to buy lunch and go back to her office.

“you look upset,” nayeon says, intruding the closed room that momo could play the drums and be fully isolated. “wanna talk about it?”

momo thinks about jeongyeon, about the night she had spent with her, and she knows then that maybe she was overreacting and she shouldn't have just left. she was sober now, completely so, the annoying headache a proof of her hangover state, and only now she could think about her actions.

“not really.” momo sighs, holding the drumsticks. “it will go away.”

perhaps it wouldn’t and she was only lying to herself, but for now, momo thinks she will be fine. it’s not like she had never fought with jeongyeon before, and she refuses to believe that some new girl would just take jeongyeon away from her.

the days go by and jeongyeon still isn’t entirely sure about what has been happening with momo.

it’s almost time to get up on stage and jeongyeon knows that the hours they will spend there can be like hell if momo won’t talk to her. she’s used to playing around with them on stage, specially with momo, and receiving the cold shoulder was the worst part about having a fight with a bandmate.

from tzuyu:

wanna meet me after the show?

jeongyeon sees the notification as she’s making her own changes on her makeup, her phone buzzing on the counter. tzuyu was out of town, but she could make some time if jeongyeon said yes.

unfortunately, jeongyeon turns off her phone and tzuyu gets no replies. it was a fun game that constantly happened between them — jeongyeon would always make things harder, but tzuyu was a persistent person. one of them would eventually give up, and only then they’d meet again. the wait made everything much better.

“have you seen dahyunie? i have a problem!” sana whines, running to nayeon, barefoot. the soles of the pair of boots in her hands were nearly falling off.

jeongyeon watches as they leave, nayeon focused on solving sana’s problem, and then there was only her and momo in the room.

she locks the door and walks towards momo, not the smartest choice really, given the fact that they didn’t have much time before the show started.

“not gonna talk to me?” jeongyeon asks, sitting next to momo. momo’s eyes are on a clock hanging on the wall, the seconds passing by way too slowly, and now that jeongyeon approached her, she couldn’t run.

“there’s not much to talk,” momo crosses her arms. she looks at jeongyeon and regrets immediately. jeongyeon was always the prettiest when she was ready to get on stage, and it has always been a problem. momo could get easily distracted.

“you’re mad because i couldn’t go out with you,” jeongyeon says, straightforward as she’s always been. they didn’t have time to go around the subject. “i’ve already forgiven you for leaving me in the morning that day, but it would be nice if you talked to me.”

“we had a date,” momo huffs, finally letting her frustration out. “and you canceled it to go out with that… that…”

“i asked if we could go out on another day,” jeongyeon stops her, sighing when momo’s frown grows bigger. “we promised to be honest with each other. i’m fully transparent with you, but you need to be transparent with me too, mo. if you didn’t want us to cancel our date, you should’ve told me.”

momo let’s out a small ‘hmph’, looking away. she had always been like that — too stubborn to admit she was in the wrong, and sometimes it drove jeongyeon crazy.

“really?” jeongyeon sighs. momo shrugs in response, making jeongyeon raise an eyebrow. “what was that?”

“i’m ignoring you.” momo replies, looking away, jeongyeon’s pretty face no longer in sight.

“oh, are you?” jeongyeon coos, shooting a look at the clock. “five minutes should be enough. could you count for me?”

momo doesn’t really get what jeongyeon means by that until she feels her hands slipping under her skirt. it was one of the rare days she wore one, and it made it even easier for jeongyeon to take the shorts underneath off, the panties following them.

jeongyeon uses the short time wisely, getting on her knees quickly in front of momo, knowing her makeup could get messy but even if it did, she could pretend it was part of her look.

“so… annoying,” momo mutters under her breath, huffing when jeongyeon looks up and presses a soft kiss on her thigh. “i’m still ignoring you.”

“doesn’t look like you are,” jeongyeon laughs, bringing momo closer to the edge of the couch.

four.

jeongyeon has four more minutes left, and despite pretending she’s not enjoying it, momo keeps her eyes on the clock, reactive to jeongyeon's touches. she shivers when a hot, velvety surface touches her center, her body melting the moment jeongyeon starts.

three.

she wants to voice how much she hates that jeongyeon is smug, but her body betrays her, reacting to each and every touch of jeongyeon’s fingers and mouth, gushing all over jeongyeon’s tongue, biting back a moan when she feels two fingers sliding inside her.

if only jeongyeon had more time, she’d stop and admire how nice the pink looked on momo, both adorning her skin at the mere touch and her dripping core, waiting eagerly for what comes next.

momo whimpers when jeongyeon lives up to what she said, becoming hungrier, faster and increasingly rougher, showing momo the most effective way of dealing with her bratty behavior.

two.

“jeong, please!” momo gasps, thighs tightening against jeongyeon’s head, making her dive in truly, hardly able to move.

jeongyeon has always found it particularly interesting — how momo’s walls were easy to break. in less than three minutes, she made momo become a mess, chanting her name and asking for more, all because her fingers were deep inside her, hitting all the best spots, and momo couldn’t bear to have anything less than that.

one.

momo takes a hold of jeongyeon’s hair, desperately humping her face, selfishly searching for something that jeongyeon had already promised she’d give. she was really the prettiest little thing, and jeongyeon finds herself looking up only to see the shade of momo’s cheeks.

for momo’s luck, jeongyeon’s smug smile couldn’t come out when she was busy making her come. there’s a rush, jeongyeon’s fingers reach deeper and momo clenches, thighs quivering as the orgasm crashes through her body, right on time, making momo bite her own hand not to moan too loud.

“fuck, fuck, fuck,” momo cries out when jeongyeon fucks her through her high, voice muffled against her hand, legs shaking. when jeongyeon pulls away, her chin is glistening and all momo wants to do is pay back with just the same treatment, but their five minutes were already over. “that was a low move.”

“and you loved it,” jeongyeon pulls her fingers out, the way they glistened with momo’s slick a proof of her statement. she looks at the clock and smiles, entitled, knowing for sure that she made momo come in under five minutes. momo roll her eyes. “guess it’s time to go.”

“mhm. but you’re coming home with me after the show,” momo announces, seemingly not mad at jeongyeon anymore.

Hi, just a rando who saw the blacklisting tags post and just wanted to share smth neat about myself: I don't like fics that are shipping content at all? :0 I'm not a very romantic person, so, that genre just isn't interesting to me. Because of this I unfortunately have avoided all fanfic due to lack of um.. understanding if there even is a tag/system of terms that would mean no shipping? from how I understand fic, that's kinda how you find the fics at all in the first place via the shipping tag? (i know no shipping fanfics exist though, and even tried to encourage myself to write some years ago but genuinely felt like there's such a minority of people who would care, I never bothered) I just found it interesting that your question to Moon about what fic she enjoys seemed to translate exclusively (to me) to asking what shipping content she likes. While I could be misunderstanding the meaning on that one, I just wanted to let you know that there's all kinds of reasons why x reader wouldn't be someone's cup of tea, and in my case it's that I don't read fanfic at all due to avoiding romantic content in general! have a great day, and if there IS a tag for no shipping in fics I'd love to actually learn what it is

My Dear, my Darling; I completely understand.

On Ao3, there's the "/" option to tag as platonic (at least I think that's the way you're meant to use it). If the romance is between OP character and the reader, it is tagged "x reader". For example: if the fic describes the romantic relationship between Sanji and a reader: "Sanji x reader" is tagged. If there is an underlying rapport relationship that the reader character has with Luffy: their bond should be tagged as "Luffy / Reader".

I am yet to see the tag used here, and I have no idea if I should start tagging "/ reader" or not for the majority of my fics. I also would like to add, if romance is not your flavour of fic: that is absolutely fine! Reading romance is not everyone's yum.

To quietly add: I have desired to write concepts I have had vivid nightmarish and dark dreams about: sci-fi, adventure horror, thriller and gore are the main elements of those ones. All original works, characters and concepts - but I know it is not something everyone will enjoy reading. It's not fandom, and I have built this page around the One-Piece fandom. I am a Snail; I write romance, comradery and rapport here. The only thoughts I write that are an outlet for non-romance and friendship are interacting within the plot with background OCs and characters.

In saying all that; if there is a request you'd desire to be made for character x character rapport and interaction, or reader x character that you would like to read - your asks are welcome here! If you request this type of fic, I think if you request "Character x Platonic!Reader" would be a way to do it?

I adore writing shenanigans. It is one of the main reasons I play D&D - specifically for shenanigan content (I am in fact playing tonight, and I can't wait for @since-im-already-here and I to obliterate the stupid mind-flayer!)

In regards to the "people not caring" aspect: We watch One-Piece. None of those characters are together romantically! I adore them all and love watching the angst, fluff and relationships between them. That's what brought us all here in the first place!

Thank you for sharing that part of yourself with me, anon. I am so glad you felt able to reach out and educate me, truly. I mean it with the biggest heart that ever did belong to a such a Snail.

#one piece #opla #opla fic #x reader #one piece live action #anon ask #Thank you for reaching out #I adore learning more about this fandom and fic preference

could you describe in depth what ur camp camp fic ideas/headcanons are? you don’t have to but i am intrigued.

ty for asking! at last, an excuse to talk about fic ideas I’ll never fucking write!!

(I feel like everything I’m writing sounded different in my head, but after actually writing it down- why)

so first up, my hc for what happens after camp

no dadvid au, sorry :/

I just don’t think it’s realistic, yknow? and we’ll get into what I think Max’s home life is like later!

but anyways, obviously school comes into play sooner or later- now, for sake of convenience, let’s assume they live in a place where middle school is grades 6, 7, and 8. (Where I live it’s only 7 & 8).

now in my hc Max’s birthday is somewhere in late summer so he’d be 11 right in time for middle school. now with all my hcs for camper ages, this makes Max & Nikki 6th graders, and Neil, Harrison, Preston, and Nerris 7th graders. Dolph is in 3rd grade, space kid in 4th, and Ered & Nurf in their first year of high school.

now, once again for the sake of convenience and “because I said so”, maybe the schools kinda in a smaller town and the school doesn’t have a lot of kids, so they kinda put all the grades together??

does that even happen in real life? no clue, but it’s fucking happening in my au

now I hadn’t thought about this until right now but,, ugh the flowerscouts and woodscouts exist- ok-

Sasha, Erin, and Tabii are 8th graders. Jeremy’s in 7th grade, Snake’s in 8th, Petrol and Pikeman are in high school. if I ever get around to writing a fic im going to ignore the existence of the woodscouts tbh

aLSO, David’s a teaching assistant (specifically for an English class, don’t ask why) at the middle school!

Gwen works as a waitress at a cafe in the town.

that’s ig the setting

also one of the campers made a group chat consisting of max, Nikki, Neil, preston, Nerris, Harrison, and Ered. as discussed in a previous post, I don’t think dolph, space kid, of Nurf have phones

hc time!!

first up: max!

unrelated to most of this but I feel like his first name is indeed Max. his last name is Well. Max Well. i do not think we’ll ever get confirmation on his name so unless it is specifically said otherwise I will accept this as canon. this is a hill I will die on, thank you for coming to my Ted talk

anyways, home life (btw I go off on several unrelated tangents during this so. warning)

hahah

i don’t think his parents are abusive tbh (well, depends on your definition of abuse)

i think the worst physically they’ve done is what most family’s would consider discipline, nothin very excessive tho (personally I do think physical discipline should be considered as abuse, but I am just some dumbass spoiled kid so I’m not the best person to comment on this)

i think they’re just neglectful and a bit emotionally abusive

i think they honestly just don’t really care about him, he just kinda keeps himself alive

idk man

next: Nikki and Neil because I don’t have many opinions on them

imo nothing comes of Carl and candy’s relationship, that was just a one time thing

that’s all the Nikki and Neil related hc I have. that’s it. ok

Preston time!!

ok so when I used to use wAtTpAd I once saw a hc that Preston lives w his grandma, as she’s his only direct relative that is accessible/alive ig

which then brought up the question of “what happens after she dies”

(that may or may not be one of the only few times, if we’re talking about the fic, that i’d actually have an oc be relevant)

ok anyway

lastly: Harrison! :]

you better believe I’ve thought a shit ton abt him. and oh boy do I have an angsty af home life for him

it seems a lot of the fandom decided he kinda got locked away in his room for most of his life and at first I didn’t like the idea but

now that is part of my hc

i think he is locked in his room, so that he “doesn’t hurt anyone”

the door is unlocked when his parents leave for work in the morning so he can go to school and then come back, and the door is locked once one of his parents gets home

they do (semi-regularly) just,, slide some food in the room

they don’t really check on him so a lot of the time he’s there he sneaks out the window to go do basically anything other than be in his room (this, again w the non-existant fic, will normally lead to some shenanigans w the performance trio out somewhere)

i don’t really have opinions on any other characters. and I think we all know damn well that if I write a fic it will end up being Harrison-centric no matter what I try to do

that took so long to type

as my friends would say, “oh god they’re writing another fucking essay”

anyways I didn’t check this for spelling errors so heh mb if there’s any

#camp camp #cc harrison #cc preston #cc max #camp camp max #camp camp Preston #camp camp harrison #im too lazy to tag everyone #headcanon #cc headcanon #everything I think of ends with Harrison angst doesn’t it

(tw vent if that's okay if not you can just delete this, thank you <3) honestly though the hate in this fandom is... so discouraging. like ive been writing fics for top gun & tgm but the fact so many people are so set on being hateful & not respecting others, and now there's a whole burn book blog like... idk i just don't feel like i should put myself out there. which is really sad because i really want to interact. and i know the fandom wasn't like this prior to tgm, and that makes me sad too because i came in after tgm came out, and I just feel so sad that even though im not part of the problem i'm still part of like, the wave of people that flooded the fandom. which would have happened even without me being here, but idk, i just feel... sad, like it feels like tgm (even though it's a really good movie that a lot of people genuinely and innocently love) really screwed ao3 up and sorta just hurt everyone and is still hurting everyone. idk.

it just sucks that fandom is supposed to be a place that brings people together and makes happiness and instead I just feel so drained and upset when I think about posting fics and exposing them to the fandom and apparently whole discord groups to like, pick apart. it's just really sad and sucky.

anyway if you made it this far thank you very much for listening, I really appreciate it and I hope you're having an okay day even after that topgunburnbook thing and all this drama

Oh, my dear. As Saint Kesha says, "Don't let the bastards get you down. Don't let the assholes wear you out. Don't let the mean girls take your crown, don't let the scumbags screw you 'round, don't let the bastards take you down."

First of all, don't worry about the burn book people at all, because most of their posts have zero notes. It's just a couple bitter people who think being mean is edgy, and no one is even following them. So, that is a non-issue. It doesn't affect you.

And don't worry about AO3. You didn't do that. It does suck, but it's not your fault, and it's not the end of the world.

The thing that happened when Top Gun: Maverick came out and brought new fans into the fandom is that the fandom got big. And that is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you have all these wonderful creators who are just discovering the movies and the characters, and they're bringing in great new stories and art and meta. I've met a lot of wonderful new people who are just like you: They just want to have a good time in this fandom and interact with other fans who share their passion. And honestly, most people are like that.

The problem is that big fandoms have big fandom problems. Think of it like this: Before TGM came out, the Top Gun fandom was a small town. Everyone active in fandom literally knew everyone else, either firsthand or from a, "Hey, you wrote _______; I love that story! Oh my gosh, and you're _____'s friend? That's awesome. She's the best." This creates a harmonious atmosphere, because everything is personal, it's small enough to be self-governing, and because everyone knows everyone, everyone is accountable for their actions.

After TGM came out, Top Gun fandom is no longer a small town. It's a big city. And it has the same problems that all big cities have. People generally don't know anyone except the people in their immediate circle, so that causes factions and in-grouping, and an "us versus them" mentality. This is why you get shipping wars and stuff like that. The fandom is too big to self-govern, and everyone is here to have fun, so it's not like we're going to elect a governing system, but between that and the fact that everybody doesn't know their neighbors personally, there's no accountability anymore. So for one, there's crime now. For example, there has been a lot of theft since more people joined the fandom. New fans are just straight up stealing content from other people and acting like it's their own. And what are we going to do, call the cops? No. It's just something we have to deal with because we live in a big city.

And, yes, the relative (and, on Tumblr, often literal) anonymity of being in a large fandom where no one knows you does encourage some people's terrible behavior. I talked about psychological and sociological studies of anonymity a little while ago, and the gist is: When anonymity is an option, the general chaos of the system does increase, but individuals just act like themselves, but ... moreso. Think of it like the Captain America serum or the mask from that Jim Carrey movie. Anonymity, even perceived anonymity like being just one person in a large system, just shows what you're really like inside. It dials you up to 11. And most people are kind and leave thoughtful questions or wonderful comments in ask boxes, or just go around with positive thought memes made up of happy emojis just to brighten others' days. That's most people. This small, ugly portion of the fandom that is using the fact that they cannot be held accountable as an excuse to hurt people is aberrant. They're the ones who don't belong here, and you can't let the fear of being their target keep you from enjoying all the good things a big city can afford you. Like, small towns are the bomb, but there are wonderful things that big cities can support that small towns can't. Like International Street where you can get different food from all around the world. Big art galleries. More resources for mentorship. More clubs and opportunities for you to find exactly your niche, and people who share it with you.

You didn't do anything wrong. Things grow and expand. You should be enjoying everything this city has to offer. If you feel comfortable, I would love you to come off anon and message me, and we can talk about getting you comfortable putting yourself out there in this fandom, and maybe I can connect you to some resources or some other really great people in the fandom. We want to hear from you. We want to talk to you. We want you to publish your work. We're happy you're here, truly.

i’m not in this fandom like that so I didn’t know rick previously said he wasn’t going to write anymore. but is it you feel like he’s milking it? maybe it’s bc i’m more in anime/manga fandoms, but for example it’s common for mangaka to write light novels to accompany their story to add details to characters backgrounds or answer questions that aren’t in the manga, but I would never the concept of it bad writing or disrespectful….isn’t it just expanding the story? maybe I’m just not getting your point. i agree the audience shouldn’t be spoon fed, but nico still having nightmares & hearing voices & planning on going to tartarus seems too big of a plot point to be ignored. & chalice of the gods - that I agree with the spoon feeding, but it’s just simple fanservice, maybe rick missed writing those characters or maybe it’s money idk but I feel like a lot of the fandom looks forward to reading more about Percy, i dont think majority feel disrespected by it. (please also i’m not trying to berate you for not liking tsats and chalice im just curious!)

My problem isn’t that it feels like Rick is milking the series - though he absolutely is. He explicitly stated on his blog that Disney asked him to publish Chalice of the Gods as Percy promotion for the Disney+ show adaptation - but the fact that the way it’s being gone about feels cheap.

I get what you mean by comparing manga, but manga is ultimately a different media form. Manga and comics in general tend to lean more expositional by nature because that’s what’s required of the medium. This also means there’s a lot more room for those kinds of extra content series because the medium inherently provides space for them. That can also be a thing in novels as well - I was in Warrior Cats fandom. Warriors has tons of extra content books and novellas (and manga!). I read Animorphs, which also has lots of extra content books (and 52 books in the main series). I am very familiar with series that have a lot of books and bonus content and etc. But the thing with those extra content books is a.) it’s really easy for them to be bad in the exact same way i was mentioning, where details feel forcibly spoon-fed to you, and b.) they need to provide something new, otherwise they just feel like cheap additions that you’re better off skipping over, and if you do skip them you don’t loose anything. And this is 100% true for manga too! It’s a really common problem!

The point is these books don’t expand the story. We aren’t learning anything new that we wouldn’t be able to extrapolate anyways, and it is okay that we don’t know everything happening in the series. We don’t need to know the Exact Specifics of how Nico and Will got together, or how Percy did his college applications. And this has been true in the series before! We don’t know what happened on Clarisse’s quest in TTC. We don’t know what happened to Reyna and Hylla between Circe’s Island and Camp Jupiter, or even how they got to Circe’s Island in the first place. We still don’t know what happened in Albania. And all of that is fine. Nothing is lost as a result of us not knowing those answers. Heck, actually a great example - in TLO, Nico tells Percy he’s been exploring California looking for leads on his family. We’re told he has a new lead, and then he never brings it up again. We as the audience can presume this was relating to Hazel, but the important part is: We are never told what exactly Nico was doing. We know he was doing some very important personal stuff in California, and that’s it. Even if we presume it was relating to Hazel, there’s still huge gaps in that we don’t know about, like how Nico brought Hazel to Camp Jupiter, how Nico found out about Camp Jupiter in the first place, or how he discovered the Doors of Death were open at all. We know none of that. And that’s a good thing! Because we don’t need to! It’s completely irrelevant and adds nothing more to the story! We know everything we need to know about that and that’s it.

That’s how the end of TOA should have been. Yes, we get a cliffhanger that Nico has some personal destiny stuff, but we’re also explicitly not told the prophecy. That should have been the end of it, and it was SUPPOSED to be the end of it! We’re not gaining anything new by having Nico go to Tartarus again - we’ve seen a popular ship go to Tartarus already (Percy and Annabeth). We know what’s down there. We know what Nico experienced down there. We already know everything we need to know. There’s no point to this. Especially since there’s so many elements of the already established canon that emphasize that the alleged goal of their quest is pointless to begin with. We know what’s going to happen already. We can extrapolate. We don’t need a whole book or 3-book series to explain it to us - that’s the part that’s disrespectful to the audience. It’s saying that You Need To Be Told Exactly What Happens Because We Do Not Trust You To Be Able To Figure It Out On Your Own.

You brought up a great word, actually - It feels like fan-service. And that’s a bad thing. Fan-service is not a good thing - it is almost always bad writing with no heart in it, just spoon-feeding the audience, and it’s disrespectful to the readers. TSATS just feels like solangelo fan-service by trying to make it Percabeth 2 and dancing Will and Nico around in front of the audience a bit more. We aren’t gaining anything new, and there’s no reason to bother with TSATS when you can get the exact same thing or more from fanworks. At best, TSATS could have maybe worked as a short story like Sword of Hades, or we could have gotten a Will short story like how The Stolen Chariot gave us more depth on Clarisse. But as it stands currently, it’s just cheap. It just feels like excuses for Rick to explicitly canonize random things because he doesn’t trust us to figure it out as being coded (this teeters dangerously on the JK Rowling approach), or shoehorn in myths he hasn’t used yet, which he was already doing in TOA and that turned out racist at worst and a mess at best.

There are absolutely extra content novellas I would love to see. Everybody’s been asking for a roman series for ages. A Reyna-POV 3 book Roman series would work perfectly and actually provide something for the collective series, because it’d actually give us some reasons to care about the Roman camp and maybe Jason’s backstory and further flesh him out as a character. I mentioned Clarisse’s quest from TTC earlier - do we lose anything by not knowing what happened on her quest? No. But she’s a major side character who’s been around since book one that we know very little about, and if we need more first-series content to promote the show adaptation, that feels like a great avenue, because we can use it to explore things that we don’t know much about! Like rogue demigods and the Titan Army (with Chris), the Ares cabin (quest members), or Clarisse herself and her backstory and fleshing her out more as a character and her relationships with other beloved first-series characters like Silena and Beckendorf. We can’t get that with Will because he only joined camp right before the Battle for Manhattan (and anything saying otherwise would be an outright retcon, which is even more annoying) and nearly his entire cabin immediately died. Everything we saw in TOA is basically all we’d be able to get from Will. And we already got it - we know where he’s from, when he came to camp, who his mom is, and his relationship with both his parents and his siblings and other campers. We saw who he as a character is in TOA. Yeah, it wasn’t much, but he’s only been around since TLO and barely existed in HoO - he’s a minor character, that’s expected. But all we’re gonna get is more of the same.

Tl;dr: My problem isn’t that it feels like beating a dead horse, my problem with TSATS and Chalice of the Gods is that they feel like cheap and pointless plot lines that are inherently insulting to the audience by refusing to allow any interpretation of the intentional free space left by the narrative and at best is a blatant shoehorning-in of more myths and canonizing random things that don’t add any actual merit to the story, they’re just there to be included.

Something really hilarious to me is on jungkooks graduation, jimin posts a vid on twitter saying congratulation to jk. Taekook trends that day on twitter because of the super sus sound in the background. Back then, i really didnt even know why people were so angry? at this video because i was a casual fan. People were fighting tkkrs saying it wasnt a kiss, it was just a seatbelt sound but no one in the video even had a seatbelt on????? If you look at the bangtan bomb of that day, none of them had any seatbelt sounds, so ?? No ones saying they kissed on the mouth, they couldve kissed on the cheek? Nothing too weird about kissing on the cheek to me? But these people were making up the most illogical shit just to say… what? That taekook arent close? The thing about taekook to me is that i was willing to think all their antics are just extremely close and friendly until you see how much taekook are held back on camera, we’ve seen all the members give each other kisses on the check because cameras are ALL up on it, ALL FOR IT, but for taekook? Its crickets. As soon as the cameramen catch wind of them 2 cm near each other, they yeet the camera hell away like they’ve been burned. Its not even one time or 2 or 3, its literally been innumerable times that i cant say is a coincidence anymore. Whats even funnier to me is that in that same year, we have taes vlive in chile i think where you hear the same exact sounds, and once again people say hes just talking to himself —and hey! It could be possible, but you can literally hear another voice— and the supposed kissing sound this time is just him slurping ramen or the supposed ghost in the background slurping ramen. If you’re doing acrobatics to get your lousy point across, at least get your story straight. FYI, im talking about everyone in this fandom, mostly twitter armys. I left twitter because there is no point in arguing with brick walls.

I completely agree, about all of this, including the part about twitter. I go on there for photos and cute edits and stuff, but not for discourse, it’s just such a mess.

You’ve brought up something that’s been on my mind a lot lately, which is the way that people -- anyone who doesn’t believe Taekook could be dating -- lump all Taekookers together as a way to, often hypocritically imo, dismiss the whole possibility.

Obviously there are plenty of people out there who believe Taekook are dating but who have some really wild reasons for thinking so, reasons that aren’t based in much that’s real. There are people who act in pretty unhinged ways, some of which are really not okay in my opinion (like harassing people or being hateful toward other members). Those people exist, and I’m sure that in comparison to other shippers, more of them are Taekookers because there are more Taekookers in general.

But I feel like a lot of people use that unhinged behavior of a relative few in order to justify completely dismissing everyone, and the entire possibility that Taekook could potentially be a reality, while doing the exact things that they accuse us of doing. Even people who will freely and happily admit that not all Taekookers are toxic will still readily spout the idea that all of our theories are based on twisted/edited content and wishful thinking.

We’re pretty much constantly accused of, or at the very least assumed to be, twisting what we see to fit a predetermined narrative. I’ve never seen anyone outside of a TK space talk about Taekookers in any other way, even the people who are relatively nice about us overall.

Other than it being frustrating to be dismissed like that, I find it fascinating because a lot of these people (if not all of them, honestly) do the exact things they accuse us of doing. Aren’t they cherry-picking evidence to suit their own biased thinking? Aren’t they deciding to believe narratives that suit them and their preferred perception, rather than considering all of the potential possibilities?

Taehyung’s “get out of your imagination” comment is a great example. It was so easy for people to interpret that to mean “don’t ship me at all/don’t ship me with JK” and they just jumped on that because it suited them, even though there’s another reading of the same comment that presents itself just as easily and makes more sense in context.

Instead of considering that as a possibility, people cling to their own interpretation without even thinking about the alternative because it suits their predetermined ideas, whether those ideas are anti-shipping in general or in favor of another ship.

The example you’ve used is great too. Taekookers are constantly accused of making up random shit to make our ship more believable or to debunk other ones -- and again, there absolutely are people who do that, I’m not denying that -- but it’s not like the same tactics aren’t thrown back at us all the time. They absolutely are.

What really grinds my gears about the whole thing is how real “evidence” for lack of a better word, and genuine analysis/observations, are completely dismissed because the fandom at large has collectively decided that everything any Taekooker could possibly have to talk about is obviously made-up nonsense pulled from nothing. Meanwhile the same people fail to recognize their own biased thinking and do all the things they accuse us of doing in order to justify their own views of the situation.

Obviously, this is the internet. Everyone has their own opinions and we can all have our own spaces to talk about them. We’re never all going to agree, and we need to be okay with that, but it does irk me sometimes, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t.

Top 5 albums that you think changed your life forever (my favorite question to ask everyone)

I can tell that these are gonna be very sappy and very sentimental and I am gonna feel so many emotions about it.

1 The sound of music.

It was the first musical my nan took me too when I was four years old. I cried so hard that I nearly threw up and some random stranger brought me an ice cream. I remember skipping home singing do rai me. Its what got me into musicals, which then lead to me getting into singing and acting and that now is what I wanna do in life. I met wonderful friends because of musicals and I don't think I would be the person I am today if my nan didnt take to see it. The theatre she took me too is still around and I really should go to get tickets to see something.

2 Handwritten [delux version]

My big sibling sent me one of the songs [handwritten] when I think I was sixteen and honestly at the worse point in my life. I adored the song and the band and now its in every playlist I make. I refuse to skip the song whenever it plays. My big sibling has supported me through fandoms, gender crisis, nights where everything feels wrong, panic attacks. They were on the phone after my first doctors appointment coming out as trans, were on the phone when I tried on my binder for the first time. Every important moment in my life they've been there. I honestly wouldnt be here if they didnt exist. I would not be writing, I would not be making characters or drawing or doing anything I find love in. I wouldnt feel so comfident in myself.

@itsnoosetome I know we don't do emotions because ew gross, bad icky. But I honestly just wanna say thank you for being so supportive to me. I love you so much, you've helped shape me into the boy I am and im not scared of things to come because I know that you will always be there. I am so thankful that we met and I am so fucking happy that we're friends, im happy that were still writing together and you listen to my writing. I am so happy to call you my big sibling and I love you so much. You're such a good person and I just love you a lot.

*poke* there no more emotions heh.

3. The black parade

I was once an angry 14 year old who used loud music to block out the voices in my head [Look, DiD is a weird fucking thing] It would block out the shitty thoughts and sometimes I still lsiten through the songs and theyre nice to yell in the park or when im home alone and need to scream my emotions away. I think a lot of MCR's like lyrics and the way they write them leads itself to my flowery language I gues. I dont know I just feel like if I didnt fuck my ears forever I wouldnt be here writing stupid flowery sentences and using abstract concepts that I hope make sense.

4. Anything julie andrews

My great grandma had dementia and used to listen to her songs over and over again. I remember sitting with her about a week or two before she died singing along ot somewhere over the rainbow. The memory still hurts because I don't think she knew who I was. Sometimes I wish that I spent more time with her or at least remembered their voices. I miss her and my great grandpa and my uncle. Theres a lot of good painful memorys when I listen to her voice. My great grandma taught me to love the little parts of music and in this, is what also spurred me on to sing.

5. Anything from the simpsons and/or queen

My great uncle and I used to watch the simpsons together whenever my nan and I would visit. I remeber sitting surrounded by cats watching who shot mister burns. I still sit and listen to homers barbershop quartet and remember singing along at aged nine.

Queen is my grandpas favourite band. I grew up listening to their music and it shaped my music taste today. I remember being a little kid and telling my nan I wanted to be Freddy Mercury. I grew up listening to music and its such an important part of who I am both as a person and as a system.
