[hoe-doroki]

hello! thank you for all your fics <3 may i please ask why you no longer write x reader fics? You don't have to answer, I've just been seeing so much negativity and entitlement from anons making writers stop doing what they love, I hope that's not the reason for you.

Ahh, sorry I don't know when this was sent in; I hope you haven't been waiting long. Don't worry, it's nothing negative. I'm really lucky never to have received any hate or been a part of any drama. I've made lovely reader insert friends and it's been a great community to be a part of. I so appreciate your concern, tho. And I'm glad you've enjoyed my stories. <3

Longer answer beneath the cut.

It's kind of a long story, so I'll start off with the tl;dr. Reader insert was always going to be transient for me. I'm a shipper and always have been, and I kind of knew that from the beginning. If you dig reeeeally deep into this blog, you'll see MONTHS of tags where I say "once I find a ship, it's all over here" and "this ship is calling me over, I swear" etc. Tbh, the breadcrumbs have been laid since near the beginning.

I've been reading fic since I was 12, and it was always shipfic. I never liked OC-centered stories, and was only ever drawn to reading and writing canonverse and stuff that felt similar. I don't enjoy deviating from canon. I talk to reader insert friends who have been into fic as long as I have and they talk about making OCs or pairing their faves with characters they could project onto and that was just...never my game. Idk if it's my demisexuality or my lack of imagination, but it's always given me butterflies to read about two characters who I see as really, truly in love. Whereas with reading and writing reader insert, I never cared about reader-chan. Even when I was modeling her exactly after me. I tried to give her depth and make her a good match for her bnha boy, but it was just that. A match to the boy. She was a stand-in, but not for me. For a character that whoever I was writing for would actually love.

I fell into reader insert by accident. I liked Todoroki upon my first watch of the series, and I wanted to read fics with him, but I wasn't jazzed by his ships. I'm usually pretty easy and get into whichever ships are pushed in canon. Like, if they tried harder with IzuOcha, I'd probably be an IzuOcha shipper, lol. But bnha isn't really committed to its, like, 4 or 5 het ships, so I wasn't either. So I clicked around random stories with Shou, stumbled upon reader insert, and I was like eh, that'll do. If there had been a ship I liked, I never would have read a single reader insert fic ever.

And then I got pulled in. Not by reader insert, exactly, but by the community. The blogs, and the friends I started making quickly, which was crazy to me, because I've never been in a fandom as active as this. In other fandoms, I would make a friend or two, but stuff like discord and tumblr friends and groupchats were new. And exciting, especially in the loneliness of covid.

Then I entered a feedback loop. I started reading bkdk as early as November 2020, and I only started reading reader insert in August, writing it in September. But November was also when I joined my first reader insert discord. All my friends were talking about reader insert, and we were all promoting our stories, reading each other's and so my brain kept on being flooded with fic ideas, headcanons, requests. Especially since I was writing all oneshots, mostly nsfw ones which, for me, didn't take a whole lot of effort or time. I started writing for a more (read: the most) popular character, Bakugou, and my fics were becoming popular, in January 2021 I hit 1k followers, I had decent interax, everything was going well.

By this point, I said at least to friends, if not hidden in tags somewhere on this blog, that I was ready to leave reader insert as soon as I had an idea for a bkdk fic. Cold turkey. I was one foot out the door for months before I actually started writing bkdk. But because of that feedback loop, I kept on having reader insert ideas and I wasn't in the same way talking about bkdk, thinking about it, taking the time to try and conjure up a fic idea. I still had wips for reader insert and I wanted to fulfill those promises as well.

Just some discord screenshots with dates, so you can see that the descent is much earlier than you'd think. Plus, past!me says some of this better than I'm managing to here.

The truth is, that I feel nothing towards reader insert now. I kind of want to delete my fics for it all the time because, like, I don't even know who that person was who wrote them. Who was Ana? Not me, and that's why I go by my real name now. I'm not a person who goes through phases, usually. I'm a pretty consistent person, and when I latch onto something, I tend to stick with it for life. Bkdk will be with me for life, I am 100% sure. This was a very strange, out of character blip for me.

And I know that sounds kind of disparaging towards the genre, and I don't mean that at ALL. Reader insert holds so much value as a genre, and it did for me too. You can see from my chat above that it was holding the entirety of my mental health for months. And I'll always value the friends I made. I love that these fics are still enjoyed, so I never will delete them. But I wish that I could fully detach them from myself too. I don't want to give up being able to read the lovely comments and reply back, though. Still, I wish with all my heart that I'd been with bkdk during all that time instead. Bkdk gives me butterflies. It makes me feel warm, makes me feel something like love. Reader insert just doesn't.

There's also a similar story in here about how I got caught in a feedback loop of writing smut too, and I never wanted to be a smut writer. I've written 50 fics or so for bnha, and none of them are my favorites (even the bkdks). My favorite fics, now, are all sfw, shipfic ones I wrote years ago. I don't like that. I want to like my current stuff more. This is why, in addition to retiring from reader insert, I've retired from smut. Smut is also a genre that I love and have mad respect for, but it needs to be as a reader, not a writer. I want to be proud of my fics again, for me, not because they've gotten popular because they're kinky.

So yeah. I left because I never liked reader insert in the first place, but it was a ton of fun to be able to write so prolifically in such a lively community. I'm terribly sorry if this taints my fics in any way to you, like I was flippant while writing them. I wasn't. I always cared about writing them, there was just something big missing for me, and I stayed longer than I should have. That's all. I do appreciate you asking the question; it wasn't an intrusion at all. I give all my love to this community, because it was truly meaningful to me during, as we all know, a terrible, terrible time. But I'm much happier now, and hopefully my next fic will be one I'm truly proud of again.

I hope this answers the question adequately <3

What form of love does your ship embody?

Tagged by @harmonyowl to do this uquiz (Ty ☺️❤️) I'm doing it for Melody and John here now cause this is her blog but I'm gonna send this to my friend who plays my D&D character Gee's girlfriend to match them up too.

I'm tagging @socially-awkward-skeleton, @johnsrevelation and @bumblehumblebeee (I hope you don't mind! I want to know about any and all ships, not just Far Cry btw 👀)

Melody - love as violence

[ love as bloodshed, crimson as a knife slipped between your ribs ] when ocean vuong said "to arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration" and when franz kafka said "you are the knife i turn inside myself; that is love" and when ada limon said "how do you love? like a fist. like a knife" and when richard siken said "sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine"

X

John - love as devotion

[ devotion: love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause ] when ruth said to naomi "where you go, i will go, and where you stay, i will stay. your people will be my people, and your God my God" and when hozier sang "i'll be the dreadful need from the devotee that drove [orpheus] underground" and when deathcab for cutie sang "if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks, i will follow you into the dark

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel like this makes sense! Violence definitely works for Melody, love is pain and tearing yourself apart for it and devotion works for John if it's devotion bordering on obsession. They're both a mess, it wouldn't work otherwise. Does it work? 😅

Last Line WIP

Tagged by: @derelictheretic - thank you hun!! 🤗

Rules: Post the last line you wrote and tag the same number of people as there are words. (I have definitely failed that last bit…)

Okay, so I’ve been working on this experimental narrative piece lately (that smut test piece has a tonal shift at the end that physically hurt me so I’ve been working on other stuff while I try to figure out a way to soften it) so I’ve been trying to keep my sentences short and to the point, with varying degrees of success, so… there’s really not a lot to offer here and I feel kinda bad 😅 Hopefully I’ll be able to offer something proper before the year is up at least… But, anyway. Enjoy!

And as the stalwart hero crumbles, wailing at the spectral memories of a paradise they have never known, there is no one there to answer.

Tagging (although it is completely optional!): @shallow-gravy @weekend-writer @teamhawkeye @unclefungusthegoat @ofravensandgenesis @johnsrevelation @littlegoldfinchh @chyrstis and anyone else that wants to participate! (I don’t know/can’t think of anyone else who writes…)

#short and angsty #just the way i like my endings #actually this whole thing is kinda angsty #the game this is based from will never stop hitting me in the feels #and damn me if i’m not gonna attempt to write fanfiction for it #even if the stories i have in mind for it will never see the light of day #tag game #wip game #last line wip #last line tag #my writing #tagged #derelictheretic #thank you for the tag hun!! 🤗❤️

I sit nervously in the chair as he does his usual set up with black latex gloves,the packaged needle,piercing tongs and the bar.

He gives me mouthwash to swish around, along with a cup to spit into.

“Say ‘ah’ “ he smiles, sticking out my tongue he marks it gently with an ink pen.

He gets the tongs ready, lining up the needle. “On three, we will breath in and out, got it?” I look up at him, making eye contact nodding.

His breath catches, as he tries to focus on his job,”One... two... three,” he breaths in with me and lets it go as he sticks the needle through.

I whimper at the sharp pain, tears rolling down my cheeks as i squeeze my eyes tightly shut,”good job, little one...” he whispers to me as he finishes putting in the bar.

“All done. Take a look,” he hands me a small mirror after cleaning his space.

I wipe my eyes and look at my tongue, smiling i thank him and pay; later on after i make an appointment with Sukuna, Toji asks to “check on the piercing.”

But it's only a ploy to get his big fingers in my mouth again-

"oh calm down, I'm just checking on my little client. Need to make sure this cute pink tongue is okay, right?” He winking at me, as he crouches down. "Thinking of any more piercings? I do everything." Sukuna sighs and stops the needle. "Toji, I'm gonna throw you out." He says, jealous.

Russian Warship, Go Fuck Yourself!

Anyone who was interested in trying to get a set of the Ukrainian "Russian Warship, Go...! Glory To Ukraine" stamps, the Ukrainian Post has revamped their system, and now has stamps available for foreign buyers. You can attempt to purchase ONE sheet of six stamps each, per address. The more expensive sheet of stamps will run you just over $15 (US) which includes the delivery fee from Ukraine. As of this evening, they were out of stock on the cheaper stamps, but those stamps would still be about $11-$12 (US) for a sheet, so it's not a major hardship to have to get the pricier ones. Here is the address to go to: https://postmark.ukrposhta.ua/

Good Luck!

Also, go have a look at @johnsrevelation 's dash and give them some love. They've got fundraisers up to assist them in Kyiv.

Hi! I just wanna tell you that your Dom Reader Yandere Brothers series is AMAZING. It’s so well written and so hot, oh my… Please tag me if you write more of it?

Sorry, this ask got buried! I just tagged you in a reply to my new Beel bit, and I'll try to remember to tag in the next bits too! ^^;

[argisthebulwark]

babes how do we fell about the dark brotherhood? the very first time i played Skyrim i just rolled with it because i didn't realise i could kill Astrid instead and just did what she told me, fell in love with all the members and was happy as larry, even though i didn't like killing defenseless npcs. also Sithis can choke his whole premise is dumb, but i mean ok :D and all the next plays I always get rid of the brotherhood but it gives me... mixed feelings.......

i didn’t do it for my first few playthroughs because i remembered not liking the brotherhood quests in oblivion lmao. it was life altering when i learned that i could kill astrid. kinda wish they built that mechanic in for the other guilds in skyrim - an opposing faction, the ability to ruin them, etc. just because i think it would be cool. i always had the hardest time with vittoria’s wedding mission so before modding became available to me i just. quit there lol. i have a hard time when i go with destroying the brotherhood though because i really don’t like the penitus oculatus guys. 

sithis sucks but the dark brotherhood has some real hot dudes. arnbjorn is big and i want to be held by him. cicero is delightful and messed up. i think the dark brotherhood questline would be a lot more interesting if you got to choose which members of the brotherhood you saved from the fire, like obviously each dragonborn is going to have different relationships with different assassins. 

am i just salty because i love gabriella and arnbjorn and want to save them??? who knows. 

#dark brotherhood #asks #beloved mutuals #johnsrevelation #i just want gabriella to move into the dawnstar sanctuary with me #i want to listen to her weird stories while she makes poisons for me to use #and i've made my views on arnbjorn clear lol. he's so LARGE and HANDSOME
