I was gripped by the need to make this reference before anyone else could (no one else would) (it's an extremely specific basketball reference) (you would need to have watched Root last season) (points if you know the pattern on his jersey btw)

Jams are created by @andy-jam-blog :]

#starscatter #jamsona #i just. had to #this one's for you kevin #i use the phrase two hand jam constantly. as does my dad #we have shared brainrot over basketball #i doubt theres many blazers fans on here #and even less who know about jams #but i saw my opportunity and pounced #his position being the same as gb3 is intentional btw #i am a gb3 stan first and a person second #i think he'd end up in one of those clear concussion masks constantly #roco vibes lmao #i think he's tall for a jam cause. babsketball #he's a forward he kinda has to be a little tall #he's the jam equivalent of 6'7 i think #holy shit that's gb3's height i swear i didn't plan that i just picked a random number 😭#i might be obsessed

my one season 4 complaint is Where The Fuck Was Aneesa

#never have i ever #i really wish her and fabiola had stayed together them not working out didn't rlly serve any purpose to the plot for the new season #fabiola's new relationship was barely rlaborated upon. as expected.#and aneesa was basically written out she was barely even part of the group #plus that scene of them at the staircase talking about fab's robotics team. they still have so much chemistry and they were literally just #talking about robotics #i understand she's not a major character and she can't have a separate plotline to herself but she wasn't even involved in anyone else's #her and fabiola were cute together and she would've at least been part of the plot if they were still dating #allison was barely a character what was the point of writing some random new partner for fabiola when she already had a perfectly good #love interest #it just doesn't make sense to me. whi decided it would be a good idea for them to break up #was it just an opportunity to shove in a nonbinary character who had no personality and was just there as someone's s/o and call it #representation #cause there are Many better ways to have nonbinary rep than this #but ofc mindy kaling wouldn't give a shit about this.#n e ways for this support my nonbinary aneesa hc . it's real.#fabiola torres #aneesa qureshi #OR AT THE VERY LEAST SHE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN WITH PAXTON. SHE HAD THAT NICE HOT JOCK LINE AT THE END OF SEASON 3 #im fabneesa 4 life but i would honestly be haply with her dating paxton. they're both cool and they'd be fun together. and she deserves a #nice hot jock boyfriend.

One time on twitter I saw this totally bullshit “exposure/callout” thread on Jhonen Vasquez (it was so obviously false and stupid that it got zero attention) and yeah it was just a bunch of fake accusations with no valid looking evidence or sources. But. The thing that still gets me about it is that the person who made the thread was like a huge terf, so they decided to lie about Jhonen having a transgender wife. They spent like multiple tweets out of the entire thread just trash talking his nonexistent trans wife and calling her slurs. The only person who even bothered to give the thread any attention was obviously a friend/mutual of whoever posted it, who ALSO started shit talking Jhonen’s nonexistent trans wife. It was honestly fucking hilarious. I wish I could find it again but its likely lost to time/deleted, and I also don’t want to start internet beef with the type of person chronically online enough to dig up old photos of people to support fake accusations against a cartoonist.

#tw transphobes #tw transphobia #they dug up some really old pics of Jhonen for it though #how chronically online do you have to be #also funny as hell bc Jhonen isn’t married and is very vocal abt it #like all that effort to lie about something so easily disproven #jhonen vasquez #invader zim #sorry about this random ass post I’ve been rewatching iz and it reminded me of this #oh the accusations were s/a against women in the workplace I believe??#but little evidence. it was like.#a cropped screenshot of a live journal post the person could have easily written themselves #and then they went on to accuse him of other less serious shit #and then just started bashing his trans wife that doesn’t exist

it would be SOO funny if i got turned to being a bj liker on this rewatch because growing up i always had to listen to my mother ( trapgirl ) complain about how she couldn’t stand bj but my grandmother LOVED him and this was always a sore point of debate .

#admittedly now that i’ve been refreshed on him i feel like i MAY be slightly unfair considering i haven’t watched the later seasons in YEARS #i do recall being very fond of early bj though so i’m not surprised he made me laugh in welcome to korea #i stand by not liking his later writing he got did dirty #im still so mad bc it’s not even his fault that he more or less gets on my nerves season 8+ i feel like the writers #just got lazy and bj was the easiest character to do random shit with #anyway #early bj you sunshine you #mash #mashposting #m*a*s*h #mash 4077 #bj hunnicutt

i’m now really into this idea that snape is too joyless and depressed to listen to or care about music (brought to you by my many years in the depression pit; we’re Project Projecting here) and as i was amusing myself with this miserable thought, my brain reminded me of this scene in star trek the next generation where geordi finds data sitting in his quarters staring at a blank screen “experiencing emptiness”

youtube

i misremembered it as music — it’s actually poetry. still works though — this is what snape could “listen” to.

harriet: mate that’s just….silence?

snape: you may experience the emptiness with me if you wish.

#also i get to imagine post war snape realizing that he can enjoy stuff and being like #‘wait i’m allowed to like things?’#and picking up an album in a record store #(cuz it’s the 90’s)#and being like ‘i could….listen to this?’#and just buying a bunch of random shit cuz he has no idea what he likes #and listening to it like ‘thanks i hate it’#and then going back to get more #harriet’s like ‘hating stuff makes him happy so i’m glad he’s enjoying himself’#laventadorn dot txt #tner tag

Sorry I just remembered the moment where Hawkeye and BJ said "Margaret, we would like to double team you in the shower," and I had to let out a huge sigh

#literally i never remember anything about this episode except for this specific moment which is seared into my brain #i love the random moments of bj blurting shit like this #it fuels all of us in different ways #and me in a very particular way that will one day finally translate into incredibly self-indulgent fanfic #bj hunnicutt #hawkeye pierce #margaret houlihan #margbeejhawk #houlihunnihawk #m*a*s*h #mashblogging #mashcapping #the price #s7e18

Something that came up recently in discord with @/shuuenmei and @/klonoadreams and friends

And it has occurred to a lot of us older writers, especially now with the prominent use of the AO3 tagging system, is that younger writers seem to have trouble grasping the difference between the kinds of 'insert' fanfics.

So, as someone who has written all the variations there off, I've decided to try and write a reference sheet for what the differences between an OC-insert, a Self-insert, and a Reader-insert.

The OC-Insert

"I have created a character and will put them in a situation."

Everyone has an OC or a dozen, whether or not you've done anything with them. It's a right of passage of sorts for young artists and writers to create their cringe angsty OP character for their favorite show/game. We've ALL done it, it's how we learn how to make better characters for later projects, or practice new ideas.

In writing, the OC-insert fanfic will often have hallmarks of:

Wish fulfillment often in the form of a fix-it of some form, expansion of Canon, or the proposition of a Canon divergence idea (especially in the case of the OC being related to a Canon Character)

The OC having very little to no (known) traits shared with the author, and is often heavily described or even given a character reference sheet

The OC often is already a part of the world they're made for with taylor made powers or skills, or, in the case of a particular kind of wish fulfillment often seen in younger writers, an OP OC meant to allow the author to do what they want

However, the OC is often still limited in knowledge of events as with the rest of the characters, even if they might find out faster than in canon

Often written in the Third Person (he/she/it/they), occasionally in First Person, and almost never in Second Person

The OC-insert is the creation of a character to allow the author to present their idea. OCs are often ways to practice writing traits or scenes a writer isn't used to writing with a character they know 100% about in a world they mostly know.

Think D&D, you make a character and make them react to situations they are presented with. This is the OC-insert.

The Self-insert

"I am putting myself in a situation."

The Self-insert happens nearly as frequently as the OC-insert, if not more. It is the Author placing themself, or in the case of the SIOC, a very close apprximation of themself, into the show/game of their liking.

The hallmarks of a Self-insert fic include:

Also often wish fulfillment, but in the form of escapism and occasionally power fantasies. Often fix-its when in regards to canon story.

The Author proxy usually enters the world from our own via any sort of means. Reincarnation after death, magic, making deals with deities/demons, anything.

The proxy usually has most of the knowledge of the world they are entering, or on the rare occasion, very little to none. There is often no in between.

The proxy may or may not gain skills or power native to the world. In the case of SIOC, the proxy may already have some minor helpful skills. The proxy can become OP, but doesn't often start like that.

Self-inserts are often more realistic looks into the world they are inserted into, expanding on many issues and hidden scenes that might have occurred in canon

Most often written in First Person (I, Me, My), occasionally in other povs. I personally write Kal in Second Person as a stylistic choice.

The Self-insert is for the Author, to show how they personally would have reacted, or helped, or gone about something. It is a catharsis for some authors in some ways, a way to deal with emotions or situations that they can't IRL.

Think games with player inserts, particularly RPGs with branching paths, or old Pick your Adventure type stories where you pick an answer at the end of the part and then go to the corresponding page of that answer. These are how you, the author, are reacting and choosing.

Most fanfics that follow the story for games/shows like Twst are one of the above two; LiT, for instance, is an SIOC.

The Reader-Insert

"I am putting you, the reader, in a situation."

Reader-inserts are all over, but they most frequent in places where there is a high level of Fandom interaction, like here on Tumblr. Reader-inserts are generally very short, and often only about how canon characters react to presented situation. These are your "x reader" blogs and tags.

Reader-inserts often have hallmarks of:

Almost always prompt based wish fulfillment of the highest order. 98% of all reader-inserts are simply for readers to love on a character of their choosing without consequence

Most have no basis in canon, or only have canon as a setting and are very minorly reactionary to Canon events

There are very, very few reader insert fics that are well written to follow along with a Canon story, and even then, the "reader" character will gain definite traits and can break immersion and even eventually be considered an OC

The "reader" will almost never be described unless it's part of the prompt to help with immersion, and may occasionally be referred to by a nickname of some kind, but otherwise will have a blank space ("____") or (Y/N) to show where your own name may be placed, or any other traits in some case.

It is also often headcanon central, with a lot of authors' ideas as to how a Canon Character will react to a given prompt.

Almost always written in Second Person (You), very, very rarely anything else.

Reader-inserts are often.... poor quality, as stated, because they are wish fulfillment and do not often undergo any rigorous editing like a story based fic. But they can be used to practice how an author can write their idea of a particular character or a specific (often romantic) scenario.

Think otome games and imagine blogs here on tumblr. Most of the time, it's less you, the player reacting and them the characters reacting to your choices.

None of the above things are bad to write. Hell, I was a mod for an imagine blog for years, and it did indeed help with how I write. They all have ways to help a writer grow, but they are all very different forms of fics. You can't look at a self-insert and call it a reader-insert because it's not you, the reader being inserted, it's the Author. It's not an OCxCharacter story if it's the reader who's supposed to fill in the details.

So PLEASE, for the love of god, tag your fics correctly.

#writing tips #writing #insert fics #how to tag your fics correctly #sync being random #PLEASE P L E A S E TAG YOUR SHIT CORRECTLY #I HATE FINDING READER INSERTS IN THE OC TAGS WHEN THERE ISN'T A SINGLE OC
