when the fictional man is a brilliant, genuinely and effortlessly funny (canon or headcanon) bisexual disaster, insecure of their height, with (possible or canon) adhd, who loves their partner more than anything>>>>>>>>>

bestie, please don’t laugh, because i’ve started following you bc of the HP content, but.. who is this Azriel guy, seeing you so obsessed with him i think i wanna get to know him too 👀 a quick guide for the beginners, please? 🤭

i’d never laugh! welcome, welcome. so, azriel is a character from a court of thorns and roses. basically he has giant bat wings and shadow powers and he’s daddy af. case in point:

#he also knows how to shut the fuck up which is a quality i look for in any man #dude why are all the fictional men i’m in love with pretty boys #on second thought i also only date pretty boys in real life #i need to be institutionalized

[weaselishmcdiesel]

fellas you ever just so vividly see a scene from a fanfic so you animate it but it's an x reader fic and you drew yourself as y/n so you could never possibly show it to anyone ever

#yeah me neither *hides so many animations under the rug* #it's the only reason i learned animation. animate the things i wanna see. and i wanna kiss fictional men. so #whatever. no one would ever understand me. *walks away huge-assedly* #weasel speaks #would love to know if even one other person does this LMAO

[itsyourstarboy]

Look I vibed with some of SJM's stuff when I was younger and so that and specifically a few of her characters have a special place in my heart.

And I guess that's why it feels so sucky that Rhysand is such a key player in all three of her book series it seems.

Yeah he's the main love interest in ACOTAR and that's fine. He's meant to play a big role there. High lord and all that. Fine.

But he's the one who saves Aelin when she's falling through the world's? He's the one who gets name dropped when Bryce gets to prythian? No doubt he's gonna play a major part in the next book.

But bestie you wrote 3 books series with woman as your MC and Rhysand is the one that has weight in all of those books.

Feyre is reduced to a pregnant female when Aelin sees her, and Rhys is the one reaching his power out despite not being the MC of that world and again, feyre is just a pretty female when Bryce sees her for the first time. And feyre is happy for Rhys to introduce himself and not the both of them. Again he's not the main character of that series

It's honestly just gross that this sad man has so much importance to Sarah he is actually forms part of the plot in her other series

Urgh whatever

having a long-standing safe crush on an 'unattainable' man (boss) and then being unable to respond to his declaration of feelings (because the music is too loud; because you are too drunk; because you suddenly realize you don't like him like that at all) only to go home and make-out with the girl you have been all but dating is such a real sapphic experience lmao

#lucky my love #lucky my love the series #lemme tell you the amount of 'crushes' i had on men #that immediately went away when there was an inkling of them having any sort of interest in me #or the 'strangely i only find fictional men attractive' phase lmao #to be fair i do think they're going the nabdao is bisexual and just more into vela than she's into the boss #but i still really appreciate the scene and how it's set up to be a fairly empty crush #(him not knowing she doesn't drink coffee; her having an idealized version of him in her head etc etc)

the feminism and self-respect leaving my body at light speed the very second i come across bloodthirsty villain who has either long luscious hair, pretty eyes (bottom lashes bottom lashes bottom lashes) or a deep desire to destroy the world over the loss of a loved one…

#DREAMY SIGH #and when they are mean to everyone but soft for me 👉👈 #yes i do the cooking yes i do the cleaning #the way i could tag at least a dozen fictional men on this #constantly being only one good fic away from batting my eyes at the biggest disaster of a fictional man ever #love me all my evil and insane babygirls #enough with fixing them i need them to [redacted] #lale.txt

Y'all I got it BAD. I can barely even look at pictures of Pino without feeling flustered and embarrassed 😩😩 and I cannot stress enough how much that does not happen to me with fictional characters. I've genuinely only experienced that with real people (despite the low numero)

He's more than just another attractive fictional character. He's more than just another notch on my hypothetical/fictional belt. HE'S REAL TO MY HEART 😭😭 MY FEELINGS ARE REAL AND I GOT IT BAD

#i dont know what it is about him but oh my god he is so freaking special to me #he's going on the all time love for life list and that is not an easy list to make #ive been a lover of hundreds of fictional men and women since i was 4 years old but only a select few make the all time list. #he really is so special and i dont know whyyyy 😭🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 #damn i sound hysterical but please tell me yall get what im saying lol #lies of p #selfship #self ship #diary

does anyone have recommendations for fictional media that has like. actual lesbians in it. not like supergirl Two White Skinny Girls, One Blonde and One Brunette Kiss media, or "its implied lesbianism!!!" but just regular fucking lesbians

#i say lesbians but i guess i mean sapphic #im just like. tired of gnawing #and of men also. sorry men in my life i love you but on god if i have to pretend one more man is butch just to get #content that isnt m/m or m/f im going to turn into a horse and run into the wilderness until im saved from the glue factory by a plucky #young woman except instead of letting her have her formative summer where she trains me and bonds w me and wins a competition w me #im going to commit horse suicide in front of her & change her life forever. just because im so tired of bland CW-marketable women kissing & #digging for scraps in a refuse bin while brushing aside 7002993829292929939292929399394 gay and het romances #m text #i will also take nonfictional lesbians if its like a story #not to be whiny on main but one of the hardest hurdles i had to jump wasnt realizing i was a lesbian. i came out to myself and to friends a #lesbian multiple times. but i would always walk it back when a friend would express doubt or a male friend would ask me out #bc i dont and especially then didnt know very many lesbians in person. and so i had to turn to examples #and all i fucking had were fictional women who liked men. or fictional lesbians who were so cleaned and sanitized and prettified #(you all know what i mean right. the 2 skinny white girls one blonde one brunette. im not crazy right) #and i would be like. i dont feel things when i look at these fictional lesbians so i guess i belong back here #(this is also bc my gender ended up being fuckier than i realized but shhhhh) #I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THESE TAGS but theyre too long and im lost. #anyway the point is if people werent so fucking weird abt fictional or onscreen lesbians maybe thered be a lot more people comfortable bein #out as lesbian #like sorry but this awful ouroboros of 'all lesbians onscreen have to be cute and sanitized' meaning that people write and believe wlw has #to be cute and pure and sanitized (OR a 'badge of honor' bc good for u u doodled two women together or had it as a background in ur fic) #meaning that therefore all portrayals of lesbianism continue to be like this. is just #and im also gonna be honest theres probably a lot of good sapphic media im just in the wrong circles to have stumbled into lol. so #yknow. personal viewer bias here #but i still like swing wildly between overly brandishing my dykeness as a badge to feel like im proving im lesbian #and like. backing up under a blanket bc i dont wanna be weird or annoying or freak people out #but if people just Saw Normal Ass Lesbians. aough. #im going to watch revolutionary girl utena one of these days even if i struggled w the writing style the first few episodes #I JUST WANNA SEE AN OLD BUTCH ONSCREEN GET SOME PUSSY. #like it also doesnt help im mostly femme4butch so seeing 2 femmes on screen is like. okay cool so what. but only femmes are 'marketable'

i absolutely do not vibe at all with any red hood steph concept ive ever seen because fucking nobody engages with it in any depth its just 🤔🤔 steph is basically the same as jason right? people who dont like jason online say so so it must be true~

like i need you first of all to walk back several steps and understand two major things about utrh and stephanie brown here. the first is that steph got into crime fighting in the first place bc she wanted to ~spoil~ the crimes of her c-list supervillain father. the second is that the core of the tragedy of the red hood is that batman is supposed to be his fucking dad.

so if you do want to do a red hood stephie concept here which. to be clear is not something i am INHERENTLY opposed to. you have a couple options to make it potentially coherent but you need to actually be deliberate and clear about what youre trying to do with that concept. you need to step away from jasons tragedy and look at hers and figure out where exactly her anger and hurt are coming from and who exactly theyre directed at, as well as what specifically in your au concept it would be so different than the canon one where when she comes back she wants to do pretty much the opposite of what jason wanted when *he* came back.

and. crucially. if the difference is the relationship she has to bruce being different you actually do need to show not tell that dude. im sorry but if you just *tell* me that in your universe that steph has a more deep and meaningful relationship to bruce i 100% always am like "ill believe it when i fucking see it". like, she has parents of her own and while that doesnt preclude having a more signficant relationship with bruce (see: timmy)... you really do have to do the legwork or it looks like youre just writing them out and asking us to take your word for it that Of Course steph wants bruce to adopt her, hes batman! gag, retch, spew. do notdo this.

FRANKLY in a reverse robins concept i vibe way more with steph as red robin than anything specifically her getting the dumpster costume from whoever you do put in the red hood role. (frankly x2 i still think if they really truly had to do the storyline they did in canon where shes still trying to do bruces dirty work for him and hires assassins to kill tim to ~make him better~ lmao she should have been the one who wore the Bad Robin uniform before tim got it instead of fuckin ulysses i just think it would have been more coherent and also funner for me personally)

anyway if you link me a red hood steph concept here and it sucks or does any of the things i Just finished critiquing i will be very irritated and i will not be polite to you about it. just as a fair warning.

#still kind of mad about this one time the topic came up and someone linked me a rh steph bc 'shes so sexy in it' #i was like bestie does the term gay man mean anything to you. and they were like #'oh sorry im asexual so i forgot that when some people say sexy it means they want to Fuck them' #... #like can you walk me through any of your logic here. why sexy was the adjective you used in the first place instead of like #'interesting'. 'compelling.' 'charismatic' even #why are you acting like im the weird one for assuming you meant attractive or swoonworthy being the main draw of the character. #why am i supposdly the one who made it about whether or not *either of us* wants to fuckthe fictional character. i wasnt even thinking that! #i truly madly deeply did not assume anything more than that you meant attractive when you said attractive #lmfao. #this wasnt even the only time that shit has happened to me. please do not do this. #i would love to say with confidence 'you wouldnt say shit like that to a lesbian about sexy men' but frankly i do have a sinking feeling+ #that they would #whatever. none of that was the fucking point #the point is jasons evil era doesnt work if u just copypaste it on steph shes a totally different character the context is totally different #text #dc

................. not to rain down on anyone's parade but barely characterized 14 year old lucerys could never have the swag eleanor or henry had

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #again you do you per carità i'm not here to judge anyone's taste because then i'd be a fucking hypocrite #but this still made me laugh #maybe because i never really understood the hype around luke/aemond. i mean i get it on a intellectual level #but there are so many juicier pairs in hotd that while i understand why people would ship it i'm not sure why it's so popular #no hate to the pairing or anything of course. you can ship whatever you want! #but this reeks of the usual inflated m/m ship with one (or two) fictional men with weak or barely acknowledged characterizations #while incredibly complex female characters (at least in comparison) are JUST THERE #again this is not a hate post about the ship or slash pairings (OBVIOUSLY!!) #but still. in any case the eleanor/henry dynamic fits better with rhaenicent or maybe daemyra tbh #like... even when i love a ship with all my heart i wouldn't assign *every* possible au to them but only those who fit their characters bes #if my otp is a etl ship i wouldn't want to read or write a childhood friends to lovers au because what i like about them #is that they fucking hate each other's guts and perpetually try to kill the other (before falling in love... and sometimes even after) #if a pairing is more p&p like i really couldn't get into a wuthering heights au even if i'd recognize it's magnificently written #because that's not what these characters and their dynamic are. it would be projection #at this point i would prefer to read/write about two ocs ngl #again in fandom you can do whatever you want i'm no one and i could never tell you what you can or can't like. that'd be ridiculous #and idw the op of that post to feel bad about it. it's just my personal preference/opinion on fanworks that's all #val speaks #val rambles in the tags #txt

looked at some of my old vent posts from like early 2022 and holy shit im doing a lot better!

i was way more frequently Deeply upset and a lot more vocally struggling with like, really intense self esteem issues. seeing the stuff i would say about myself and how emet would see me is like, totally foreign to me now. i would never in a million years think that kind of stuff about him or me.

i’m still mentally ill like fucking clearly and life isn’t Perfect but im happy that i kind of overcame at least a large piece of that really really deep and persistent shame. and i no longer like, blame myself or deny myself sympathy for the abuse i underwent through emet. i should be proud of myself for that.

#now if only i could set aside ''thrawn would think i’m dumb'' #i am not even romantically attracted to him. why is his hypothetical opinion over whether i’m smart so important to me? god only knows #baby steps. as far as weird hangups about middle aged fictional men go like #''this super tactical genius wouldn’t think im smart'' is way less fraught than ''this guy i love deeply would blame me for being abused'' #(of course he would never. I’m glad i see that now) #uhh ask to tag?
