For reasons that are very innocent, my 60 year old dad made a Twitter account with “daddy” in the handle and I truly don’t know how to handle this. I ventured to mom that perhaps the name was…funny and she gave me Such a Look, and said, “don’t tell him” and I was like, “YEAH FUCKING OBVIOUSLY MOM I AM NOT GOING TO TELL MY DAD ABOUT DADDY CULTURE,” and she was like, “yeah me neither,” and I said, “look if someone’s going to it has to be you, you’re married to him,” and then I paused and thought, “are we the perverts? perverts who have forgotten the true meaning of daddy?” and she sighed and said, “the problem is that ever since he grew the beard he really is a hot daddy” and now I can’t talk to either of my parents ever again because mom told me too much about his apparently amazingly strong biceps
The ultimate power move in a vampire/fairy rivalry would be the fairy inviting the vampire over for tea. The vampire has natural dominion over anyone who invites them into their home, the fairy has natural dominion over anyone who violates the laws of hospitality, and neither can refuse the appointment without showing weakness, so it’d just be a constant headgame of the vampire trying to manoueuvre the fairy into a position where the obligations of hospitality allow the vampire to eat them, and the fairy trying to trick the vampire into doing something that would allow the fairy to declare them a poor guest.
You know EVENTUALLY they’re going to get hit with the magical equivalent of being snowed in together, right?
is
is that not the point
next paradox
-faeries have power over those who eat fey food
-vampires have power over those they feed on
even should the vampire successfully bite the faerie theyre still at square one
this is probably somewhat awkward for a fiction written years ago, but today i read both of the mirror mirror-verse fictions and found them quite enjoyable. thank you for writing them.
Okay, so, I think the reason that explanations about this aren’t gaining traction is that we as ficauthors instinctively respond by focusing on our experience to reassure you–“No, it’s great! I love getting comments on older fic! No fanfic author is going to object to that!”–and the reason that doesn’t have much of an effect is that it’s inherently subjective. Just because one person has a positive reaction doesn’t mean everyone does, and besides, we might just be polite, right?
Here’s the actual explanation: Your anxieties are misplaced because you are mistaking a fanfiction site for social media.
Ao3 isn’t Facebook! It’s an archive. Works there are intended to be easily found and enjoyed years after their creation, exactly the same as books in a library!
It’s not “awkward” to say you just read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time even though it was written years ago, and in the same way, new readers are SUPPOSED to be constantly finding fic and enjoying it regardless of publishing date. That’s the entire point of publishing it.
Fanfiction sites are not social media. There’s no such thing as “creeping” in someone’s old posts. In a very real way, there’s no such thing as “old posts” at all. Again–by that logic, you’re being creepy whenever you pick up a book at the library that’s more than a few months old! That’s insane.
If this is your first time reading Macbeth, then it’s a totally new experience to you and you can and SHOULD talk about your impressions and reactions to that story in the context that you’re reading it. There’s entire courses and academic careers dedicated to doing exactly that. If today was the first time you went looking in the right section of the site to find our mirrorverse fic, then that fic is a new story to you and you should join the conversation.
These fics are there to be preserved so that people can always find and read and interact with them for the first time. That’s actually the entire point.
“if you consume enough problematic media then there will be a point in which you become desensitized and replicate the behavior”
right, that’s why all my media studies professors moonlight as serial killers
half-serious quip aside, what you’re saying is that you think people have the inherent moral fiber of overcooked pasta and if you don’t spoonfeed them pre-digested purity, they will revert to their baser nature of amoral, immoral, cruel and murderous beasts
I used to think that folks going “aha, I am right-clicking your NFT” in an effort to taunt NFT purchasers were making fools of themselves because who is able to make copies of a particular image is completely unrelated to what NFT vendors are selling, but then NFT purchasers responded by actually getting mad about people right-clicking their NFTs and demanding that major NFT exchanges implement some sort of “right-click protection”, so apparently it’s clowns all the way down.
its gotten worse, teh nftbros have started stealing the art of people who dont like nfts and minting them as nfts which is copyright infringement and so now theyve started getting dmca strikes
On the funny as hell side, some of them tried to do this to *furries*. As in the subculture that is probably the most heavily versed in internet copyright law and also filled up to the eyeballs with comp sci and IT workers.
Anyways I’m back after almost two months away from tesblr for my own mental health. Made some new friends that helped me realize some things and now I’m back on my grind.
Enjoy a rare moment of sad Kyne in a bed of flowers.
porn and shitposting.
also i like werewolves.
and if you're underage you're getting blocked. shoo.
