I Hate When People Ask Me About My Preference But I Don’t Understand Their Preference Level. Like Yes

We all love the “becoming the very thing you sought to destroy,” trope. but I have a growing fondness for “destroying the very thing you sought to become”

I have never understood how people don't like Luther. All he does is love and protect Alice and Kara and you don't like him?

A reason I was just given is that "He got attached to Alice way too quickly, it was weird" which yes it was very quick, but I stg some people just don't think about these things beyond the surface level.

Luther deviated to protect Alice. He threw off years of programming to do so. Of course he'd get attached to her, she gave him a noble purpose after Zlatko had used him for terrible, terrible things. Not to mention the emotional connection he would form for her, after fighting so hard to deviate to protect her.

He would give his life for her, because she gave him his life back.

Porn fic that takes fifty thousand words to get to the fucking and it's not even a slow burn, it just takes that much worldbuilding to properly contextualise the author's incredibly specific kink.

This applies today and especially when I actually start writing the fic I'm planning

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

shipping isn’t about what the writers or actors say is or isn’t romantic. shipping isn’t even about romance a good percentage of the time. shipping is about seeing The Dynamic and going absolutely hog wild in your mind and your friends dms about it.

I was thinking about the Boys recently, and how it does a really good job of showing how god awful society can be and the way in which they mock the right wing for their actions. It's a show that personally I really enjoy.

The problem is, the right wing don't understand satire and that this show isn't for them. And, personally, I feel it has emboldened a lot of people to act even more like dicks to others.

I've had conversations with people who don't realise Homelander isn't a hero. They can't understand why people don't like Homelander because he 'cares about America.' Not understanding that the only person he cares about is himself. The only thing he cares about is power, absolute power. He wants to take over America and make it in his own image.

He is a literal Nazi who was in cahoots with a literal Nazi (Stormfront).

But the right don't get this. They don't understand that the show is mocking them by showing how the undying love for Homelander, and the cult of personality, mimics the undying love that many of them have for Donald Trump and MAGA.

And this is ultimately the problem.

They seem to think this show is a how to guide for the right wing, when actually it's a 'this is what the world is coming to and it's scary.'

Whilst I love the Boys, I'm glad it's ending with Season 5. It will be interesting to see how the justify some of the things such as the concentration camps in the show.

Whilst Soldier Boy was an ass as well, worst thing they ever did was stop him from killing Homelander and his son.

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF

Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid

Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship

Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for

The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining

The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read

It’s THAT simple
