Intro.

Never been good at introducing myself.

Call me Ghost. Or Paris, I don't really care. Ghost's been an alias for a few years now, so do whatever you want with that.

I used to fight in the Battle Subway, so if you're from Unova and frequent it you probably know me from there. Unfortunately I moved to Galar a bit ago, so that's done now.

If you think you recognize me, firstly no you don't. I keep my face private for a reason. Secondly, don't come up to me if you aren't looking to have a battle. Not gonna force you but I don't like talking to strangers outside of that.

Yeah so my horse accidentally posted a video of me getting attacked by my rival's Froslass. So my face is kinda out there now. Don't fucking harass me or shit like that, don't be a weirdo. (and no, this doesnt mean ill be posting pictures of myself. Don't ask.)

(and for the love of arc don't try taking a picture of me. Some people have been trying that lately, and not a single time has it actually been me. Stop being weird and taking photos of random men with blue hair. I'm not recognizable.)

My team however, is a lot more recognizable than I am. Speaking of, it'd be pretty rude not to introduce them.

Full team of 6, I know, but that's not all, I've got 3 more non-battling Pokemon.

Cheri the Rattata, Joe the Rattata, and Bean the (albino) Alolan Rattata. I'll probably be posting about them quite a bit, they're my babies after all.

Oh, I also have a Weedle now. His name's Grungle. Training him to be a battler so far, we'll see how it goes.

I don't have much else to say. I've got battle strategy tips but most of what I know is specific to my tastes, so dont expect much.

Hello! This is the OOC part of the introduction >:) I follow from @act11as! Muse is an adult, mod is a minor, don't be weird, etc.

Please note the blanket unreality warning in the description, I do not tag #unreality to avoid flooding the tag, but I do try to tag all non-out of character posts with #pkmn irl in case you need to block things from your dashboard at times! On that same note, OOC posts will be tagged as such, and I will mark them with green text (though often not past the first line, because it can be grating to look at after a while)

All trigger warnings will be tagged as "[word] tw" for the sake of consistency. And if I forget to tag something, please shoot me a dm or an ask!

Additionally: Please note that I am autistic and very chronically ill. I may have to end things earlier than they were planned to be because I just suddenly had a flare-up, and I often misinterpret/forget things, o7 please feel free to remind/correct me if I do!

Guidelines? I guess?

Literally any kind of pokemon irl blog can interact! Sentient pokemon, eebydeebies, evil teams, whatever. I'm chill with anyone, though the muse may not be, keep this in mind. If you want to do something, send me a dm! I'm more than happy to discuss things ^^

IN CHARACTER anon hate, be it just being an ass, homophobia, etc. etc. are perfectly fine. Note that I probably wont respond to all, especially if it seems to go a bit too far. (same vein: Feel free to start arguments with him if you want. It's always fun to write him angry <3)

^ Additionally, feel free to harass him for the bit. Just for funsies. I love playing into it if you can't tell!

PARIS CAN AND WILL BE AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR. Do not believe everything he says at face value, he often lacks information or will just full on lie.

Extra:

Pelipper Mail, un-mail, and Malice are always open! Feel free to torment this guy whenever you so please. (links go to the source posts for all 3 lol)

Musharna mail, (sending dreams) and Musharna malice (sending nightmares) are always on! Once again feel free to torment this guy.

Magic anons are usually off, unless I specifically specify otherwise!

Some organizational tags:

#[nickname] the [pokemon] - Most posts about Paris' pokemon should be tagged like this.

#rival tag - Tag for posts mentioning/about Paris' rival. (rival?)

#mylah tag - Tag used for @/tinkatinktrain- who was formerly anonymous.

#bluebird anon/bluebird tag - Tag used for @/blu3b1rdsss, similar situation to the above.

Lore? I guess?

#A Frosty Reception / #A Frosty Reception 2.0 - Takeovers of one of Paris' childhood friends. done twice because I kept getting sick :(

#Gone Fishing Arc - Paris fucked off into the woods and almost never returned! Good look into his character.

#Kicked to Kanto - Smaller thing, what it says on the tin.

#Team Fauna - Inconsistently tagged, but should have the vital bits in the general area? (Check "Cult tw" if otherwise). Paris goes undercover in a cult. He's very smart.

Anddd for music lovers- Here is his playlist.

#pkmn irl #pinned #// original to this was made in June/July (i forget) of 2023. I've just remade the post entirely since then #// The trainer card profile for the mons is a placeholder I do want to do something custom again #// but also this has been in my drafts for over 2 weeks I've been waiting to post it. so here we go

this is gonna be a long rant so fair warning:

Having been in the 🐝 fandom since before season 1, I've seen fandom fights come and go. Despite not often engaging in fandom discourse, the exposure of what is rotten in some parts of the fandom thanks to anons at @waitingforeddyneddy and the latest shadyness thrown at Simone and Simone fans made me do this post for my followers. I am not tagging this because I know these vile people love to go around doxxing and bullying.

Before anyone considers harassing or bullying me as well, I want to clarify that I am not friends with Annie, nor do I follow her. However, I appreciate her blog and some anons for exposing some of the nasties within this fandom. It reinforces my belief that certain JB fans have a superior complex and put this yt man (and themselves as “the better fans”) on a ridiculous high pedestal.

It's disgusting to continuesly see people labeled unfairly, like being called "homophobic" for not stanning JB or “racist”for whatever other reason (mainly because they are a fan of Simone but apparently they are not “right” enough).

I used to think JB and SA fans where a unit but ever since S2 dropped the shadyness from JB fans hasn’t stopped, it has increased.

So I am saying this:

If you’re one of those supporting the nasty and passive aggressive comments from certain JB Stans who claim Simone “hasn’t said shit about Kanthony S3” and “only talked about the KA dance a year ago and that was her only statement”, disregarding her numerous interviews from the past year, compared to JB's one time interview about S3 KA in April last year; if you believe Jonny's vague “we are back”qualifies him as the K*nthony king where he couldn’t even name drop his leading lady nor her character and you insist on policing anyone rightfully calling Simone the “K*nthony stan queen” (or whatever name 😂)due to your hurt ego as a JB fan; if you engage in sending death threats and hateful messages to @waitingforeddyneddy or anyone who is not a fan of your damn white as chalk man, if you are joking about “Simone's (un)employment” and calling her boyfriend all sorts of names; if all this aligns with your behavior, please unfollow me now and go f*ck yourself.

I may not support everything discussed over there, but thanks to that blog’s anons, I've become aware that some Simone fan sites (some whom I used to follow and support) are involved with or even instigating negativity. I hope you feel ashamed of calling her boyfriend ugly or harassing her fellow stans, or make fun of people supporting her just because you don’t like them while also having the audacity to dictate Simone on her own instagram how, when and what to post. What a big ass hypocrite and disgusting person you and your friends are.

To those love to claim that Simone's fans behavior reflect poorly on her and the fandom (I quote “this is why everyone hates SA fans”), you would benefit from taking a moment to reflect on everyone’s individual behavior including your own. JB fans, look no further than to your mutual stans who tell SA fans they wish they “got aborted”. All for your yt man who will never f*ck you. Your sick in the head.

And for anyone who wants to know what piece of worthless scum there is among the JB / (k)*nthony fandom read through the anons from the blog by @waitingforeddyneddy

Trigger Warning: I hope those with braincells in the JB fandom understand that I'm not generalizing all fans as a whole.

Everyone else playing superior while stanning that yt man:Wishing you a change of attitude.

I am linking this post pinned to my blog since Season 2 dropped.It features (TW for the ego hurt) THE ONLY interview from JB in April 2022 about KA S3 he ever gave since the show dropped contrasting with numerous instances where Simone(the Queen of Kan*hony;))))), has discussed KA. You are welcome to shut tf about now.

Edit: you are also f*cked up to think JB telling some random stalker fan he “loves” Simone means they are secret besties or whatever. Talking about parasocial.

#fandom bullies #fandom drama #Jb Fans are the worst #the problem #with (k)Anthony fans #not finding that yt man hot makes me homophobic check #that white man’s fan are rotten to the core

I really like your ootd posts and seeing what other people wear but it also feels a little bittersweet cause I’m not there yet in my self expression. Between working a corporate office job and having to fit “the look” and having a chronic illness that causes severe bloating and makes me self-conscious about how I look in certain outfits.

I feel bad on the days I let my thoughts about my body win and just wear what’s gonna make me feel less terrible. Guess the long story short is I’ve been too scared to ask off anon how you wear/find outfits that feel like you?

okay okay okay, anon. my whole heart. my hands are on the sides of your face and i am holding you gently.

a couple things here:

-i have been there, and done that in feeling like i had to put myself together a certain way because of the work environment and wanting to be taken seriously (baby doctor grey was sooooo concerned with this. it was a lot of all black and blouses for a bit). and had to do a lot of reprogramming in my own brain about what it meant to be "serious" and why i couldn't be as i am? (hint: ableism! sexism! the patriarchy!). and stopped caring in like 2017? and just started dressing how i wanted to dress in a way that felt comfortable for me, and while i still get comments from assholes about my shoes or if i wear pink to present in, instead of "very serious navy blue" or whatever, it speaks much more about them than it does me. and i can't care. because whatever is on my body does not determine what is in my head nor my capabilities. it is simply self-expression. (but also very much recognize the immense privilege i have now of being able to have several legs to stand on in terms of my career and what i bring to a table and essentially...not having to be worried about being fired for making decisions. i supervise interns and this is always a convo i have with them too. ANYWHO).

*the rest below the cut. to avoid dash spam

-there's a lot of....nonsense fashion rules about there about like "tricking the eye" to look a certain way and "emphasize your small parts!" and "proportion!!!" and its all bullshit. throw it out the window. it means nothing. wear what makes you feel comfy. things you can live in, and do your job in (example: my trousers are high rise and typically wide leg or straight leg so i can BEND in them; so i can SIT ON THE FLOOR in them if need be. so I can MOVE and RUN if need be. not because they emphasize certain things. and HIGH RISE for the same reason because those babies arent falling down and showing my ass crack to the entire world like mid-rise or low rise do on my tall ass.).

like my philosophy is like...i could either wear something that is more "flattering" based on bullshit fashion rules, or i can wear something that makes me feel comfortable that i'm not going to be thinking about all day. clothes should not be things you have to pull at/adjust/think about all day. so if you're concerned with bloating? size up and go from there! there is no shame, none whatsoever.

-i find outfits that look/feel like me through play. i play with what is in my closet a lot. fashion should be fun (i say this knowing that some people truly don't give a damn about clothes and that is totally okay, but you, my friend, sound like you're interested in fashion being fun?). start with a color you love! start with a pattern you love! love stripes? there is no reason you can't wear a striped top with more "corporate" pants, or vise versa.

-after you get comfy with color/patterns that you love, you can start looking for cuts/or pieces that feel like YOU. (ex: LEATHER is a very me material. leather jackets, pants, tops, shoes, feel like me and i try to incorporate it into my wardrobe.)

things that make you feel comfortable (or to mirror your language "less terrible") do not have to be things that are un-fun, or un-you. these things can exist in the same sphere.

send me an ask on anon that you wouldn't send me off anon

Who was the most lucky and un-lucky person from The Hunger Games trilogy?

Why do you pick them? Please give reasons.

You can interpret the luck and un-luck thing however you want.

Thank you :)

@curiousnonny

Hi anon :)

This is an interesting question.

[This got pretty long so I'm putting it under read more]

I think, generally speaking, the Capitol citizens are pretty lucky because even if -as we can tell from the Ballads Of Songbirds And Snakes- some are clearly poor, for the most part, they're well off and don't have to worry about food or anything but also -and in a world such as panem that's very important- they don't have to worry about being a tribute and all that entails.

So by opposition, the people living in the districts (and even more the ones in the poorer districts) are unlucky for very obvious reasons I think : The Capitol basically exploits them and, as if it wasn't enough, each year they have to see at least one if not two of their children die in some messed up event. The worst luck being for the ones that did end up in the arena.

If I have to single out characters, I think some cases can be made :

For most unlucky :

Prim -> Someone did a great post about how she was doomed by the narrative and was never gonna survive. That said, I don't know if that makes her unlucky because, actually, in a lot of ways, she was lucky :

She's saved for certain death in the Games by her sister who even after her games keep doing things to protect her.

She survives the destruction of District 12 after the 75th Games because Gale saves her.

The attack on District 13 in Mockingjay could have been fatal to her and several of the people that lived there had it not been for Peeta's warning.

She's always saved from almost certain death. Until she isn't. Because in the end, none of it mattered. She was always gonna die.

Haymitch -> He lives in District 12 aka the poorest district and lives in the poorest part of that already very poor District.

As if it wasn't enough, he gets reaped at 16. When you think about it, that's only 3 years before he was gonna be illegible for the games.

Then it gets worse because the year he gets reaped is a Quarter Quell (aka a special edition) that sees the numbers of tributes double. So, not only does he have to participate in the Games, he also has even less likely odds at surviving. And yet he does. You'd think that'd make him the luckiest man, except it wasn't luck that made him survive the Games, it was the fact that he was smart and used the shield of the arena as a weapon.

He was punished for it. All of his loved ones were murdered. So he goes through this very traumatic experience in worse condition than usual just so he can witness all the people he loves die.

Then, as if it wasn't enough, he has to mentor the next kids that go to the Games. And year after year, he has to watch all these kids die. Katniss and Peeta change everything for him though.

Finnick -> If I remember correctly, we're never told whether he volunteered or not. He's from a Career District where volunteering tends to happen so he might have, but it could also just have been the one year no one did volunteer. In the end, it doesn't really matter. The games shouldn't be a thing to begin with. Anyway, back to the point. This would make him an even better contender for most unlucky though

He's reaped at 14 and he ends up winning and he's the youngest one to do so.

You'd think he'd then be left to live out the rest of his life in peace but, then, because people found him attractive, he ends up getting prostituted by Snow.

Also same as Haymitch, he becomes a mentor and has to watch most of the kids he mentors die.

Then, he gets reaped again for the 75th Games. He survives again but had to watch someone he cares about and was surely important to him (Mags) die.

Meanwhile, his girlfriend gets taken and tortured by the Capitol and all to get to him (which it does). He gets to reunite and even marry her but that happiness is short lived because he dies during the rebellion.

For most lucky :

I thought about it a lot and I actually think it might be Plutarch.

He's not from the Districts so he never had to worry about being a tribute.

He never got caught for any of his scheming against Snow/the Capitol.

My memory could be off but he also never had to be in the thick of the fighting ?

He comes out unscathed at the end of the Rebellion

He gets a good position in the new government which let's be real is exactly what he wanted. and also had a good position in the old one.

He's just never in a bad position. But again I could remember wrong.

And here we have another Fennec/ Hell Hound sona-- Imitation may be the ultimate form of flattery but it's still more recommended to be more original. Just saying.

//Aight. Look. Yo. Bro. I'm done. Okay?? Back up. For real.

Heads up to any moots or people who follow me or this blog, I apologize for this in advance. But there is going to be a long rant below the cut. Again, I am sorry.//

I get a lot of Anon hate. I really do. not just here. On literally every muse blog I write. and that's a lot so like I said-- I get a lot

I just don't post it because it's un needed drama over petty fictional nonsense. And I am generally the master of ignoring it and deleting it and not even bothering with it-- But I have been getting Slammed here ever since Bee's drop yesterday-- (She's gotten it ALOT before, for being a Hell Hound (which she's not, she's a sinner) For having a past relationship in life with Angel Dust/Arackniss family-- being involved with Arackniss in life-- (For starters yall. It's fiction. Kay? FAN FICTION. It's fun. And honestly? I put a whole hell of a lot of effort in her story with them and the development of their past relationship and her design-- I work hard to make a story and Background history that flows pretty well together in a non forceful manner-- which I am happy to go into detail privately and gush because I am proud of the work I put into this FICTIONAL FUN THING I DID FOR ME.

But it's gotten A LOT worse since Beelzebub's design drop in yesterday's Helluva Boss So I know that this is what it's about-- "Bee wanna be" "Stealing" "Immitation" Blah Blah Blah Blah. So I'mma say this one time and I'mma say it clear, kay? Just cuz I am getting really tired of deleting this shit over and over-- either you're new here or you are new to my blog-- clearly-- because none of that is even true-- *She is NOT a Hell Hound. She is a Sinner. *YES she is a FENNEC FOX. She is a FENNEC FOX that I have been writing (and drawing) LONG before there was even a Helluva Boss Season 2-- (let alone a Beelz Design!) Bee dropped YESTERDAY. Okay? I have been drawing and writing this particular design of mine long before then-- and there are a few others here who have/and do interact with her currently that can vouch for that-- I'm not gonna name names. Im not gonna call people out. Because this is stupid. And I am only responding to this one thing to clarify some crap because I've been getting literally slammed and I'm just done with it. (She's not even FOR Helluva Boss...she's for HAZBIN HOTEL. ) But again-- Even if it wasn't the case-- Even if she WAS some cheap replica (which she's not but hey-- hypothetically--) Who. The Hell. Cares??? It's Fiction??? This is a Hobby. This is for fun. I love character design, I love creating a narrative with said designs (There's even a REASON why she's a Fennec Fox) Like it's not willy nilly, kay? So how about instead of getting pissy about a fictional OC character design-- we just let people enjoy their things, Huh? And maybe instead of making assumptions-- you can try actually asking questions about it. Learning about it. Why I chose this. Or if you just have your pants in that big of a knot over it...just don't interact?? Block??? I dunno and I don't care. I'm just done with this okay? This is the only thing I am posting-- And Any more things like this that come in my inbox is just gonna go back to going right in the trash so that I can have fun.

Period. THE END.

ah your recent anon awoke a rant in me, so please forgive if this is long.

I'm not a jikooker because I wanted to be. Before all of this, I thought RPS was weird and worth a healthy side-eye. But I got into BTS three years ago because of the music, and the message, and the OT7 bond. And as I watched content I just --

I always said that I was going to take the boys at face value, because I have very little reason not to. Sorry to stans of other hybe groups, but right now hybe is bts and bts is hybe. There is no separating those two things financially. Especially in the earlier years, almost all of the operating profit of the entire company (BH at the time) came from bts. If people can't see how much power that gives the BTS members, I'm not going to explain it to them, contract negotiations or no. After the negotiations I think it's almost silly to assume they're being forced into anything. All of them hired independent lawyers, the best money can buy, i guarantee it. Again, this isn't shipping, it's just logic.

But in line with that, I don't think that BH had as much power over the members post 2016 as a lot of people seem to think. Thats the same timeframe when they stopped doing variety, something they clearly didn't like. So, following that, when the members do something, I assume it's because they're okay with it.

So, when JK releases a video made by him centered on JM backed by a known gay singer singing a song with male pronouns? Yeah I believe that he did that on purpose. Because thinking of any of them as idiots who don't research their art goes against everything ive ever believed about them.

When he releases another video less than a year later centered on the same member with some very pointed lyrics in GCF:S? I believe that too. The same way I believe that there's no way he didn't see all the 'gay allegations' about the Tokyo video. If GCF:T was a mistake, GCF:S wouldn't exist. Simple as that. If it were genuinely not something he wanted to portray, he would have taken care to not repeat.

And again, when he fully engulfs that same member with his body and screams to the entire world "I love you" (people always focus on the ear suck, but genuinely, to me, the thing about rosebowl is always the "I love you" pause cry "I love you guys") I believe him. Its love and I have never seen either of them refute it.

There are other moments, of course. Constant ones. SO many. Enough that I think non-jikookers maybe just dont understand how overwhelming they are in their quantity?

I don't think we talk enough about the recent one where JM was clearly terrified on the UN stage and his body language was just so open towards JK. JK is JM's person, his anchor. On the biggest and most important stage, and there they are, saying quietly 'look at me, I'm here, I'm here for you, look at me and everything is gonna be okay'. And that's just a recent example. It has been repeated so many times.

And as a queer person, I really don't see anything else between them except this truly incredible love. It's not shipping, its just observation, based on years of content that is just getting louder.

Thank you anon for your words of wisdom and logic.

You see it. We see it.

Just saw your post about the post phase 1 Marvel movies and the meme you used for CA:CW. So I'm here to ask and get you cancelled. What did you think about the movie? Are you Team Stark or Team Rogers?

........................................................I knew this day would come......okay, let's get me cancelled!

I hate this movie, I hate this movie with every fiber of my being. Watching it was torture, it as the longest 20hrs of my life. It was like living out one of those very confusing math problems I started this movie at 10am somehow 6pm rolls around and there are still 2hrs left! Coño cómo?! I watched this with my mom, and when we checked how much time was left we were left looking at each other like 'que carajo what twilight zone bullshit is this?' It's one of those Marvel movies that I am so glad I did not waste my money on, I wish I could get a refund for my time but I made my choice and I shall now have to deal with it.

I hate this movie for many reasons but I'm not gonna make y'all wait any longer for what you're really here for because I know what y'all really want to know is whether I am Team Iron Man or Team Captain America. When it comes to the political aspects ie. the Accords, I am Team Neither.

Now, I cannot get into a comprehensive debate about the Accords because the writers did a shitty ass job, in a 2 and a 1/2 hour movie that felt like a lifetime, at explaining what exactly the Accords are in the movie universe. Emphasis on the movie universe, because I have seen debates go on in this motherfucking fandom where some people will bring up aspects from the comics Registration Acts but we're not talking about the comics okay, we're talking about the movies! And they're two fucking different things! And the movie did a shitty ass job at explaining what the Accords are, and that's one of the reasons I hate this movie: that it's so badly written.

But back to the point, which is where I stand on the teams when it comes to the politics, I am Team Neither because ultimately they were both idiots on how they handled this, and I think they both have good points like yes the Avengers and other superheroes should 100% be held accountable if they fuck up, the fact that they are superheroes and the "good guys" doesn't mean that their actions shouldn't have consequences but at the same time Steve's mistrust of the government and concerns that the team and others could be weaponized are also valid so I think they both have good points when it comes down to it and the smart thing to do - and in my opinion what would have made a much better film- would have been to come together and make like a counterproposal, decide on amendments, try to ensure they can get a representative so they have a voice on the table.

So, there you go when it comes to the Accords I am Team Neither however when it comes to the characters and their actions I am 1,000% Team Tony. At the end of the day he wanted to do what was best for both people and for his team, he wanted to keep the team together because he knew they were stronger together, and he was thinking long term not short term.

And then there's Steve who is an asshole in this film and completely lacks self awareness, cause there's a scene in the film after they've found out about the Accords where Steve goes "that's because he already made up his mind" about Tony and I'm just like bitch so did you, pot meet kettle, Rogers you knew from the get go that you weren't going to sign those papers don't go acting different and then like- here's the thing Steve has some very good points when it comes to the Accords but one of his points is that the UN is filled with people with agendas and agendas change which true but also motherfucker you yourself have an agenda! The whole Sokovia mess is an example that they cannot be trusted to hold themselves or each other accountable because inevitably the time will come where they'll want to protect their team mate like we see in this movie Steve do with Bucky, or how he wanted to protect Wanda because he looks at her as if she were a child not an adult. Steve, you lot are not exempt from having your own agendas and biases.

And through pretty much the entire movie, he has this whole my way or the highway attitude like this man does not know the meaning of compromise in this film, and he has such tunnel vision for Bucky- and listen! listen, listeeeeeen, I get it, I don't judge Steve for making his bestie a priority; I understand that Bucky is incredibly important to Steve, that he's the one person who's gonna look at him as just Steve and not as the Steve Rogers, I get that he carries a guilt over what happened to his friend, I understand he misses him, I understand all of that and respect the ride or die game but goddamn he was so focused on being a good friend to Bucky that he forgot about everyone and everything else and was a shit friend to Tony.

Actually a lot of people in this film were shit to Tony for no goddamn reason but Steve was such a shitty friend not telling Tony about his parents, that was a shitty ass thing to do and listen! I know what some of y'all are thinking you're thinking some version of 'he wanted to protect Tony' shut the fuck up. No, no, that's an excuse and it's a cheap one, you know damn well that was a shitty thing for Steve to do and y'all know damn well you would have reacted the same way Tony did if someone who you thought was your goddamn friend knew about something horrible that happened to people that were important to you and they never told you; that kind of shit hurts, and finding out someone you thought of as a friend doesn't care about you as much as you care about them hurts.

And y'all know goddamn well how emotions work, you know emotions aren't gonna wait for the rational brain to kick in don't some of y'all go playing dumb as if you didn't know this shit. Same way deep down all of y'all know Tony was holding his punches, that man gave Thanos a fight and got some blood if he had wanted to kill Bucky he would have. Don't none of y'all motherfuckers try to play games and act like you don't know this info.

Steve was a shit friend to Tony. Period. The least he could have done is have some empathy or compassion towards Tony when he saw his parent's being killed- and I swear to motherfucking god to the person who is getting close to their keyboard thinking of saying he showed compassion by not killing him back the fuck away from your motherfucking keyboard what did I tell you about playing stupid, this is properly tagged, stay in your fucking lane. Some of y'all be acting as if it were still 2016 and we're gonna be talking about that too, anon wanted my opinion on this film so now I'm going off.

Back to what I was saying, in some ways Steve wasn't a perfect friend to Bucky either cause he kept looking at Bucky and thinking of the guy he used to know but Bucky's not that person anymore, he's been through a lot of shit and it feels at times like Steve didn't fully realize that.

I hate Steve in this movie, I wanna punch him in the throat; he's an ass, he thinks he's above the rules, he's unaware of his own flaws, he might be a good friend to Bucky but that's it. I don't blame Steve though I blame the writers cause they're the ones who wrote him this way; moving on from Steve, I wanna talk about Wanda real quick, I don't hate the character of Wanda but I do hate the way she was written in this film, I hate that the writers expect us as an audience to look at this adult and think of her as a defenseless child who should be exempt from consequences, I hate that instead of actually doing something with her and exploring some interesting dynamics they just give her an AI boyfriend and a pinterest quote which sounds nice but falls flat especially considering she says said quote as she uses her powers (which is what people are afraid of) to send her love interest down several floors of a building. They could have done so many cool and interesting things with her, shame they didn't.

Another thing I hate about this film is what it did to the fandom, and how it was promoted because it was very much promoted as a pick your fighter, pick a side type of movie and after this movie came out I feel like the divide between Tony fans and Steve fans grew toxically and the effects are still seen to this day like some people really do be acting as if it were still 2016 and attacking others for what side they went with or for who their fav between the two is, and I'll be very honest a lot of the hate I have seen has been directed towards Tony and Tony fans. I hate that, I hate when TPTB deliberately pits fans against each other cause it just encourages a toxic environment.

Let me think was there anything that I liked about this film- wait, oh my god talking about all these other things I hate almost made me forget the thing I hate the most about this movie: it's pointless. Its existence is unnecessary; the biggest aspect of this film isn't the politics of the Accords, it's Steve and Bucky and how far Steve is willing to go for Bucky and have him by his side...but Endgame exists. The end of Endgame turns this film pointless, because the only true point of this movie is the relationship between Steve and Bucky that's the biggest takeaway from the whole thing, but then you have the end of Endgame where Steve just leaves Bucky.

I hated this film before I saw Endgame but after.....I never plan to watch Civil War again but if I did I'm pretty sure I'd self combust cause I'd be so angry I'd scream every time Steve appeared cause that son of a bitch ends up leaving; tears the whole team apart only to end up leaving his friend behind in the end.

I hate this film, I hate everything about it, well that's not true I love the Tony and Peter stuff, but aside from a couple of things I hate this movie, someone give me time stone I'm eliminating it from the timeline.

So, there you go those are my thoughts on CA: CW.

In conclusion, I am Team Neither on the Accords, Team Tony on everything else, Steve I still like you but this movie demoted you in my eyes and makes me wanna punch you in the throat.

#i clearly had a lot to say #anon do you see the pandora's box you've opened #anti captain america civil war #anti civil war #anti cacw #steve rogers critical #pro tony stark #mcu negativity #mcu fandom critical #wanda maximoff critical #anti steve rogers #i'm not anti steve but i did say this post would be properly tagged #non spn #anon #ask #long post

you don't even watch smosh anymore, why are you trying to defend saige and cause drama between her and courtney? and stop pretending that your posts are for 'discourse' - just own up that you're trying to stir shit up jazel

(re: this post)

LOLLL okay i don't owe you shit (especially since i worded my og post as plainly as possible and it's not my fault people are projecting other meanings onto it), but let me clarify.

"saige haters don't like her because they think she's a threat to courtney being the resident pretty white fem in smo/sh."

everything i had to say is stated there. it can be simplified to "saige haters think she's a threat to courtney." i'm not saying saige is undeniably a threat. i'm not saying courtney should be threatened by saige. if i did say that, that would be causing drama between courtney and saige. and if i did other things, like main tag the people in question, or main tag the yt channel, or keep the word "smo/sh" un-slashed (like how you did), then there would be a larger chance of saige and/or courtney seeing my post, which might cause drama. ultimately i did everything i knew i could do to not cause drama between these two people.

i also did not say i was defending saige. you're right, i don't watch smo/sh anymore. i don't know what type of person she is. (neither do her haters, but anyway.) but i'm also still involved enough in the fandom to know that hating saige is not a universal phenomenon in the fandom. if i saw that most viewers disliked her and could give good, solid reasons for it, then i probably wouldn't make that post. but i trust my mutuals in the fandom, and i trust them when they say they don't see the same reasons to straight up hate on a cast member the same way haters in the fandom do. so i'm not gonna defend saige, but i'm also not gonna sit by and watch haters populate the main tags with hate, bc that shit is petty and rude to fans who do like her and can be kept on your own blogs the same way i keep my shit on my blog.

what i am saying is that i believe people who dislike saige dislike her because of their protectiveness of the status quo. and courtney is a big part of the sm/osh status quo.

as a poc who's been in the fandom long enough to know that pretty white people are treated like fucking gold in smo/sh, i know a lot of fans don't bash on most of the newer members of color bc ultimately, as long they get out of the way of enjoying court/dami/shayne, then they can stay.

but from what i've heard, saige is loud. she's inserting herself into this group. she makes some fans uncomfortable. and she feels like a threat to the role that they think courtney already fulfills: the pretty white fem (who occasionally bags on her friends).

you don't have to agree! i never said you had to agree! but like i said in the tags, if you disagree, you're free to make your own post about it, and you can keep it out of the main tags.

hope that clears things up. now. keep my name out of your fucking mouth, anon

#anon #saige #courtney #discourse #negativity #replies #idk why i'm surprised 👁👄👁 if you're the type of person to bash online personalities on yt you're also the type of person to send #anon hate to random strangers on tumblr lmaooooo. bitch i Don't Know You

I really don't wanna reblog this and go through weeks of drama or whatever but this is the funniest and poorest attempt at a vague. I know this is about me because I and maybe a couple of my friends ever post about mimic. Like cmon there's vaguing and there's this.

1) I never said Eggman was problematic or deserved to be cancelled. If I genuinely believed that I would've cancelled every villain in Sonic, but I didn't cause I dint believe that. You can like a villain, liking them doesn't mean you agree with their actions. However it's telling when someone tries to say "hey maybe this ship isn't great, it literally parallels off of jokerquinn and we all know about that" and it results in people acting like issues 14/25 never happened and as if its the most healthy and best lgbt rep they've received

2) Mimic is fucking hated in the Sonic fandom, what kind of fucking rock have u been hiding under? He gets so much shit for his design (which is unneeded his design is great stop saying he's edgy when edgier bitches have existed) and for his writing (which is fair). Also he's literally so un fucking popular, I have yet to see someone from here be as into Mimic as my friends and I.

Also the replies, I can forgive some of them but Soni's reply was when I knew this was a dig at me

This is so untrue and out of touch like??? I have never tried to woobify, justify or ignore Mimic's actions. You have a lot of fucking gall to call my writing shit, have you seen your work???

Now this could be a dig at the starley quinne au, my mimic theory or just general fanart I'm gonna go with the first two. Starley Quinne is a fucking au based off of Harley Quinn, of course they're gonna be slightly different personally wise. Like in my writing I don't try to ignore or act like starline or mimic are innocent. So idk where this is coming from

How I characterize Mimic is yes different than what IDW gave us because I don't like characters who are evil just because it calls for them to. In the theory i didn't once excuse or justify his betrayal. I just simply said there may have been another reason as to why. I write Mimic as a person who has mental illness and who has gone through trauma. Who has worsened the stability of his life and himself by indulging into self destructive behavior. Who uses his mercenary gig as a persona to hide from what he's really feeling. The only reason I write him to be so overprotective and in love with Starline (I should talk about the au more but hey surprises) is that Starline (Starley whatever) didn't see Mimic as a tool for his own benefit (for work or for not so safe for work reasons) He wasn't scared of Mimic he wasn't disgusted by him. All he wanted was to slowly gain his trust. For fucks sake he's poison ivy in the au, you know plenty lady who hated humans but thanks to Harley she slowly grew to tolerate them and in some DC verse is an anti hero.

I don't even care that soni or eggy don't like me, but man if you're not gonna go through the effort of sending anons telling me I'm a piece of shit hypocrite at least try a little harder when vaguing.

#and all because i made a fucking joke about how everyone was so caught up on eggline no one noticed starry's scars #but whatever writing eggman as a total sweetheart isn't ooc anyways #but sure whatever I'm the bad guy

Hello! I don't even follow you but we do follow some of the same people and so I came here on your blog and I saw your post on icelandic and codfish. And I happen to follow both. Although I have to say I am not very active in here so a lot of discourse just goes by me.

As for icey, I totally agree they have no filter. I've followed them for a loooong time and the only reason why I still do is precisely because I would feel "bad" abandoning this person whom I've been following for so long and who is obviously struggling with mental issues (and I say this as a fellow neurodivergent person). I don't think they're a bad person per se, but they do have a lot of issues regarding tone of speech and picking the right context to say some of their more...inflammatory things. I've considered un following them a LOT of times, but once again, see above

As for codfish, they did not give me any kind of negative vibes whatsoever. All their comments seem to be in good fun, I've never seem them upset and I just took them as someone who's just. Very chill? I'm honestly very surprised to see that they're rung a few bells to some people. I don't know, maybe we're either reading into the situation differently or I've just missed a lot of stuff...

hi anon, firstly i just wanted to say I appreciate your intent and you seem nice. there’s a lot here. I guess I’ll start at the beginning

firstly I understand where you’re coming from and I understand fucky mental health playing a part. however. that doesn’t give anybody a pass to be bigoted and shitty at all. being racist and shitty is not part of being mentally ill— mental illness might contribute, but it doesn’t excuse it. actions and words have consequences. if ice actually cares about doing good, then they need to either get someone to help them check over their stuff or just stop saying horrible shit to ppl online. but... they’re not.

I also don’t particularly appreciate you downplaying all the awful shit they’ve said (it’s not “inflammatory”. it’s just racist.) and to me it’s very clear they aren’t just ignorant, they are actively racist, so treating them like some invalid who just has uwu oopsie woopsies isn’t really the move here. we’re talking about really awful shit. ditto to you telling me about your guilt... I mean I feel that but also uh. how do you think it feels for me, a queer woman of color, to have someone telling me “I feel bad, so I’m gonna keep supporting this racist sexist person, because their feelings matter more to me than those of the members of marginalized groups who feel unsafe in this fandom <3”

like. I’m not trying to be mean. but do you see how that sounds? it’s...

as for cod, I discussed more of my feelings and experiences here. take it or leave it, I just don’t appreciate their energy whatsoever, although I will acknowledge that it seems like it’s out of a place of ignorance more than anything else. however I’m also ya know a real person with real feelings that get hurt when I see shitty things. the stuff ive seen from them has felt uhh super hurtful! so

anyways I’m not entirely sure what your point was with sending me this but. hopefully that all made sense. and I don’t want any more apologists popping up, I really couldn’t care less ngl :|

Is it true that John once said something like " the fag in me made me feel insecure " ? I'm 98% sure that it was a quote from Lennon, I did try to find it on google but didn't find anything. Is it my imagination or he really said that? If it's legit it's actually a very important quote!

Don’t worry, dear anon, your memory doesn’t deceive you!

The quote I believe you were searching for was said in reference to the Bob Wooler episode, from Paul’s 21st (where he publicly introduced his new girlfriend, Jane Asher).

I was out of me mind with drink – when you get down to the point where you drink all the empty glasses, that drunk. And [Bob Wooler] was saying, “Well, come on, John, tell us,” something like that, “Tell me about you and Brian, we all know,” like that. And obviously, I must have been un– uh, f– frightened of the fag in me to get so angry at that. You know, when you’re twenty-one, you want to be a man, and all that. And for the first time I thought, “I could kill this guy.” I just saw it, like on a screen, that if I hit him once more, I – that’s gonna be it.

— John Lennon, interview with Peter McCabe and Robert Schonfeld at the St Regis Hotel, New York (5 September 1971).

This is an excerpt, but I linked it to @amoralto‘s original post, where you can find the full quote and even audio of the stuttering shown in the transcription.

And I totally agree with you that it’s an important moment of frankness and introspection, especially considering its timing, right in the middle of the early ‘70s PR campaign.

If you check out the full quote, this passage appears in the context of John’s shame about his violent past. But it’s revealing of John’s capacity for getting to the bottom of his own emotions and motivations when he puts his mind to it, that he correctly recognizes his anger and violence for what it was: manifestations of his own insecurities; one of them being fragile masculinity.

Nearly a decade later, John recounts this episode once again, and his view on the underlying motivations doesn’t seem to change.

The Beatles' first national coverage was me beating up Bob Wooler at Paul's 21st party because he intimated I was homosexual. I must have had a fear that maybe I was homosexual to attack him like that and it's very complicated reasoning. But I was very drunk and I hit him and I could have really killed somebody then. And that scared me...

— John Lennon, interview with DJ Andy Peebles (6 December 1980).

It’s interesting the way he phrases it, “frightened of the fag in me” and “must have had a fear that maybe I was homosexual”. It’s like an admittance that there is a fag in him, or at the very least a questioning of it. At least that’s the way I read it.

But there’s no shortage of other little interjections by John, dealing with gender and sexuality, that show his thoughts on the matter and openness to it.

It’s a plus, it’s not a minus. The plus is that your best friend, also, can hold you without… I mean, I’m not a homosexual, or we could have had a homosexual relationship and maybe that would have satisfied it, with working with other male artists.

[Note: on the advantages of a female partner like Yoko over his other male artist best friend.]

I was always thinking I was gonna be a famous artist, you know. I’d have to marry a rich old lady or man to look after me while I did my art.

In a marriage, or a love affair (...) there comes a point where the marriage collapses because they can’t face that reality, and they go seeking what they thought they should be having, still, somewhere else. I get a new girl, it’ll all be like that again; I get a new boy…

[Note: this is said in the context of trying to explain the trajectory of his relationship with Paul.]

But in the early days, we didn’t count lyrics at all. As long as it had some vague theme – she loves you, he loves him, and they love each other – it was the hook and the line and the sound that we were going for.

Please mind that I included only some examples out of the top of my head, and words said by John directly. There’s is also a lot of informative stuff being reported by Yoko and other anecdotes, but it’s good to remember that John was just as likely to mention it in interviews himself.

If you're curious, I amass everything I deem falls under the umbrella of John and Paul questioning their sexuality under the tag I’m not a homosexual, or we could have had a homosexual relationship. Peruse at your pleasure!

#John Lennon #Paul McCartney #yoko ono #the beatles #asks me why #I'm not a homosexual or we could have had a homosexual relationship #i was feeling insecure #Most of my arguments used to be a question of who could shout the loudest #the person I actually picked as my partner #johnny #macca #1st verse #1963 #3rd verse #1971 #outro #1980 #meta #my stuff

Hi! I am pretty new to SH, and when I went to ao3 to find some malec fics I saw there were 19k fics there and I just... noped out. But then I came across one of your fics somewhere idr (prob tumblr) and I really really liked your writing style so I may or may not have spent my spring break reading all your fics... rip. I'm still way too intimidated by the sheer amount of fics on ao3 and since I really loved your writing, I was hoping you could maybe rec some, either fics or authors? Thanksss

holy shit, anon, I’ve written so much dkfgjhsdfkjg that must have been quite the undertaking for spring break lmao! I’m super happy to hear that you like my writing though, especially enough to read most/all of my fics!

Okay, so. When I first started in this fandom, it was overwhelming too and that was in August of 2017 lol! I read a lot of fic rec masterlists on here and then once I went through those, I explored ao3 a little more, along with those authors that captured my interest. I don’t know what you’re interested in but I’ll just go ahead and list some of the fics I started with along with my favorite authors! Everyone on this list is a delight as a person and a writer and I hope you like them!

(This is going to be probably a lot of me rambling variants of read this!! but I’m gonna put a short summary so you know what the story is actually about. I will most likely oversimplify the fic lmao but check out those links for the full synopsis!)

Over 100k

Fall Without Wings by @notcrypticbutcoy (WIP) This was the first fic I ever read in this fandom and it topped every masterlist when I started– for good reason. At the time, it was around 180k? and I read it in one day/sitting. The writing is impeccable, plot to die for, and the way the author builds the characters in this story is just engrossing as hell. This is god tier lmao!

One Line Summary: Canon divergent AU where shadowhunters have wings, Magnus is actively on the Clave’s shit list, and Malec’s relationship is the best sort of slowburn.

One Easy Answer by @maleccrazedauthor This is the first of a two part series and holy. shit. I was enthralled from the first sentence. Apparently, I have a thing for canon divergent AUs and I read this a year and a half ago but still remember gasping at a certain point, hanging on the edge of my seat as I waited to see what the characters would do. I love this canon divergent AU– it’s written so beautifully. (Note: The series itself is over 100k. This particular fic is around 36k)

One Line Summary: Magnus and Alec are leaders of their people and have to learn how to make things work when a marriage of convenience is their only option.

Anything You Say by @milominderbindered Admittedly, I’ve only read the first 80k? of this because I started it like over a year ago and it was a wip at the time but I remember being Super Into It and desperate to see where the story was going. Now that it’s finished, I’d totally recommend it!

One Line Summary: Detective Alec and Forensic Expert Magnus. Honestly, need I say more lmao.

Deeper than the Truth by @insiemes This was one of the first fics I read– probably within the first week of entering the fandom. It’s a wonderful story and a classic for a reason. And that ending:’)

One Line Summary: Alec is a famous author who uses a pen name and Magnus is a fashion designer in love with Gideon’s books.

60k-80k

The Haunting of Lightwood Hall by @bonibaru There are tragically few historical Malec fics in ao3 and this is a gem! The plot is interesting and the love story is super well done. And that ending! I loved it so much.

One Line Summary: Magnus Bane, a psychic, is invited to the Lightwood estate when a murder mystery implicated the heir, Alec Lightwood.

42 North, 71 West by @lecrit Okay so, admittedly, I haven’t read this yet but it’s because I don’t read wips and this just concluded like, last week lol. However, lecrit is a brilliant author and I’ve read several of her fics before and loved all of them! You really can’t go wrong with this author and I would encourage you to read anything/everything in her ao3!

One Line Summary: Politics!Alec and Actor!Magnus in one AU? Sign me up!

The Strength of (Un)Broken Bonds by Blue This is the first of a three part series and I love it so, so much! This is a little grittier though not angsty. The plot is tightly woven, the characterization spot on, and it’s an excellent exploration of the parabatai bond done right. Wildly creative and I everytime I reread this, I’m just in awe at this author’s skill!

One Line Summary: Post 2b, shadowhunters realize just how intrinsically their biology is tied to demon energy and Alec has to deal with a fritzing parabatai bond.

Addicted to You by AlxSteele I’m not a huge fan of fuck buddy AUs but this author is prolific in the shadowfam so I took a chance and I’m so glad I did! This was a realistic portrayal of this AU without being needlessly angsty. Everything was just right and I was so ready to see Magnus and Alec get their shit together!

One Line Summary: Magnus and Alec lead busy lives and neither one has time for a relationship– only what starts out as a string of one night stands leads both to catch feelings big time.

A Fighting Chance by HeartsDesire456 This is a classic for me. I read most of this in one sitting and was almost late for work! But it was totally worth it. I love the build up and the world that this author created. Really, one of the best malec fics I’ve ever read and I love it so, so much! I would recommend anything else by this author, especially Hard Choices, though that fic is considerably heavier though no less well done.

One Line Summary: Alec owns an MMA gym next to Magnus’s dance studio. What starts out as a noise complaint quickly changes Magnus and Alec’s life irrevocably.

We Break That Way by ifallonblackdays_fics and valfromrome I’ve read this several times and it’s a fic of substance. I love fluff but this is a really excellently plotted story that does a fantastic job of showing both Magnus and Alec as the leaders they are. It’s darker but realistic for the shadowhunters universe and I love how amazingly well these authors created a story that picks up after 2x18 in an excellent canon divergent AU where Magnus and Alec didn’t reconnect at that Hunter’s Moon party?

One Line Summary: Not all shadowhunters are happy that Alec’s trying to build relationships with the downworld– what happens when a group of extremists go after the Head of the New York Institute in a bid to return to the old way?

40k-60k

The Lonely Heart Hotline by @unrestrainedlyexcessive Anon. Listen. I am putting Fatale here because this is her latest completed fic and it’s 40k but I would heavily encourage you to read every single piece of writing by this author. I have read all of her fics at least twice and I love them to death. She does such an amazing job of portraying real life, even when her AU is fantastical. I’m partial to her Ave Atque Vale series, which was the first fic I read by her, and her Home series but as I was scrolling through her ao3 profile, I just kept remembering all her stories and how amazing they are. Seriously. I can’t stress enough about how much i love this author’s writing!!

One Line Summary: Alec’s a law student who moonlights as a phone sex operator and Magnus calls him one night, only to talk about music and his questionable phone professionalism.

Love is a Gamble by la_muerta This is another author that I adore and I’ve read all of her fics! This is a western historical AU that I read last spring and simply loved! I’d also recommend her series The Universe is Conspiring Against Us!

One Line Summary: Sheriff Alec Lightwood is busy enough keeping Nephilim Falls from descending into chaos but when Magnus Bane opens a gambling house in town, Alec’s has more on his mind than his townspeople.

20k-40k

Give Me the Pain (Then Take It Away) by LadyOxymoron This is a beautifully well-done story of Alec and Magnus exploring BDSM, particularly Alec’s submission. But it’s so much more that. It’s about their relationship and Alec learning to take better care of himself and overall, I was stunned at this fic. I would really recommend anyone read this for something that pulls the heartstrings while still being hot as hell.

One Line Summary: After a near death experience and throwaway line from Magnus, Alec finds out that he can let himself fall, as long as Magnus is there to catch him.

Appassionato by chonideno This is a classic in the shadowfam. A wonderful story of malec falling in love before properly meeting. The vibe is so ethereal and full of feeling. Really lovely story.

One Line Summary: Alec plays the piano and one day, a request slips under his door– what follows is months of Alec playing for a stranger, both of them falling one note at a time.

Pillow Talk by lacheses This was one of the first fics I read and it’s a really beautiful story that takes place during season one. It’s gentle and really does a fantastic job of building Magnus and Alec’s relationship, both of them so cautious and invested so quickly after meeting.

One Line Summary: Alec Lightwood falls in love, one nap at a time.

Good Our Whole Lives by @beatperfume This fic ruined me. I was invested from the first word and read it in one sitting. The emotions are enough to put you in a stranglehold and while I was wildly unsure based on the synopsis/AU (hooker AU) I gave it a chance and I am so glad I did. I remember reading it and just feeling so much. Wonderful, 10/10. I would rec anything by this author (she really is very creative!) but particularly and I will be your shade.

One Line Summary: When Magnus catches Alec, a shadowhunter, hustling his club the two of them reach an agreement.

Three’s a Crowd by GoldenDaydreams I’ve read this a few times and I love it to death. Super lighthearted and funny, it’s a fun story about Alec and Magnus trying to have sex and Jace being a perpetually pain in the ass cockblock lmao.

One Line Summary: The story where Jace keeps interrupting Alec and Magnus’s ‘alone time,’ and they’re both super fed up.

Sympathy for a Prince by @ketzwrites This was a hella fun story about Magnus as a literal prince of hell and Alec, a no-nonsense detective just trying to do his job. Ketz has written several fics I’d recommend but this might just be my favorite!

One Line Summary: When Magnus, prince of hell, comes top side he doesn’t expect to meet Homicide Detective Alec and become his partner, so to speak.

Hold Onto Me (Cause I’m a Little Unsteady by MagnificentlyMagic One of my biggest pet peeves with the show is that scene in 1x09 where Jace betrays Alec and then it’s never spoken of again. This is a great fic that takes that scene and runs wild with it.

One Line Summary: His parabatai rune was burning, not with death, or injury, but with betrayal.

Yours is the Light by @theonetruenorth This author is an autoread for me and I love a good abo fic. This is so beautiful and I really, really love this. It spins the trope on its head while still in the shadowhunters verse and delivers a really satisfying love story for Alec and Magnus! I would really, really recommend literally everything they’ve written though!

One Line Summary: It wasn’t exactly a secret that out of all three secondary genders, it was the alphas who were the strongest, the most aggressive, the most territorial– It was also completely wrong.

Inimitable by Bumblebeesknees. I adore anything by this author but this. Wow. The plot is super creative as Alec and Magnus get sent back to Victorian London and Alec has to do something both of them would rather he didn’t. It explores a murky area that has the potential to ruin both of them and the writing is perfect. I don’t want to ruin anything but you gotta read this. I read it when it was first posted then scrolled back up to the top and immediately devoured it a second time. I’d recommend anything and everything by this author.

One Line Summary: Stuck in London in 1882 without Magnus’ magic, the way back to New York in the 21st century requires securing a charmed amulet from the Magnus who lives in that time.

It’s a Kind of Magicby @thealmostrhetoricalquestion I love every single fic by this author and would highly suggest you read everything by her but this one has a special place in my heart. It’s light and sweet and a wonderful AU!!!

One Line Summary: Magnus and Alec live on the same floor and are highkey into each other– the only thing is that Magnus is a witch and Alec’s a mundane.

You Only Live Twice by partnerincrime I love this story so much!! It’s a fun little Simon POV on Alec as a gardening billionaire recluse and Magnus as a CEO of the shadow world’s largest department store. It’s hilarious and I lose my shit every time I read it!

One Line Summary: In which Simon Lewis becomes an entrepreneur, and, through a series of highly improbable events, fails upwardly toward success.

Lonely Starbucks Lovers by partnerincrime is also a hoot and I love this author so much!! It’s the quintessential coffeeshop AU.

PWP

The Way I Feel for You by @theonetruenorth Goddamn, this is a masterpiece. I’ve read this several time and like I said earlier, anything by this author is guaranteed to be amazing.

Shadows. Shovels. Joy. by oncethrown While this isn’t strictly a pwp, it’s about the parabatai bond and Jace’s POV on Alec having sex. Heartwarming and super well written! another example of how the parabatai bond could be well done.

In Plain Sight by redorchid. Holy shit, I love this to death and it’s actually the first in a series called membership, about Magnus and Alec’s exploration into exhibitionism.

hit me like a ray of sun, burning through my darkest night by liamandzayn I’ve read all of her malec fics at least twice and I just think she writes great sex lol. Definitely recommend!

With Bones Unbuttoned by @ohfreckle No smut list would be complete without ohfreckle. She’s an autoread author for me and I think I’ve yelled about this particular fic literally every chance I get. Goddamn, the sex is hot as hell and the emotions that pour through are enough to make my own heart ache. No one does it better and I wish everyone would read this and die with me.

Lionheart by Bumblebeesknees Both this one and the one above are 2x18 makeup sex fics but they’re both very different. I also love this one immensely and this author, as I’ve mentioned above, is amazing.

Series

Alec Lightwood Deserves Nice Things by @my-nameless-bliss This series ruined me. I can’t stress enough how much I love this series. It’s beautiful written, the emotion gut wrenching, and it’s a wonderful exploration of Alec’s masculinity and what that even means. It really made me think and reevaluate my own life and I am awed by this author’s talent and everyone needs to read this. There’s also ALDNT extras which is a multichaptered work set in this universe.

We Built a Dynasty Like Nothing Ever Made by Madalena. This was a canon divergent AU set after 2x17 that does a great job of exploring shadow world tensions and Alec as a Leader and Head of the Institute. Creative and stunning and wonderfully plotted, I’ve read this series several times and love it so much!!

The Boundless Saga by sarcasticfluentry and teumessian This is a canon divergent AU that starts in season one and it’s a classic for the shadowfam in my opinion. I particularly love Parts 4 (which could go in the pwp section) and 7, which I think it’s an excellent exploration of shadowhunter tradition and expectation.

Authors

@laughingmagnus Serendi has been an autoread author for ages, since the beginning, really. Her writing is wonderful and she really hits emotions in a way that’s enviable. Her Maryse centered fics are superb.

@gingergenower I’ve been yelling about Kat’s writing since I discovered her last winter. I started with goddamn right (you should be scared of me) and I’ve read all of her fics multiple times. You really can’t go wrong with her!

@thattrainssailed Monica’s writing style is very distinctive and literary. She writes Malec like they’re set in stone entities, powerful and always in control, even if everything else is a chaotic mess.

@bytheangell Elle can write fluff or angst depending on her mood and she does a wonderful job with whatever strikes her fancy. She has a >100k fic called Support System that I’ve heard really great things about, even if I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.

@royaltybane Lydia is an OG in the shadowfam for good reason! Her writing is fluid and suitably full of feeling. You really can’t go wrong with anything by her!

Ohprongs is a wonderful author and I’ve read all of their stuff on ao3. I’d highly recommend them for shorter pieces.

This is by no means an exhaustive list! I’ve quite literally read thousands of Malec fics since I joined the fandom in summer 2017. These are the most memorable to me, however, and the ones that I’ve returned to time and time again. Any author I mentioned would be worth going through their backlist. I often just picked my favorite fic of theirs.

If there’s something that you’re into– a trope, a general tone– you can always come back and I’ll do my best to answer your questions and give you recs! I hope that this helps and isn’t too overwhelming– I tried to organize this masterlist by word count and then misc categories. Thank you so much for thinking highly enough of my writing to ask me this and I’m sorry it took a little while to compile this fic rec list! Happy Reading!!

#sdkfjghsdkjfg this took me three and a half hours lmao #and I just wanna reread all of these fics right now #but alas #malec masterlist #malec fic recs #malec fic #anon #asked #answered
