About the gn fics that sometimes use gendered language.

There are 2 types of authors i think.

The ones that if they get informed about it, correct it. Sometimes it just happens because of language barriers. They change it and that's that.

Then there are authors that make it seem like bad criticism. They think it is an attack and get mad.

I usually have positive reactions, i sometimes correct people when they use german. Google translator isn't great and german is a weird language. I always make sure to tell them that i don't mean this as an attack I just want to help them.

PS: if you ever want to include some german i can and will help you, if you want :)

Yeah !! I definitely have a lot of respect for writers who correct their mistakes and there's no harm done, especially those writing in a language that isn't their strong suit. but others....eugh... they piss me off THANK YOU ANON !!! if I ever need a German translator that isn't Google Translate or deepL, I'll probably post about it and ask X3

It sucks especially when a Fandom that has predominantly fem content so it's hard to find fics that aren't and you think you found a gn one and then-

BOOM!

It hits you with she or like something explicity fem. It's really frustrating and at this point I've resulted to just blocking if the author won't tag or mention it anywhere!

I also wish people would just use fem!reader or something similar instead of tag specific things too

Its so annoying when they just tag it as #(insert character here)xfem!reader because then you have to add a new tag to block(for each new fandom) It's just so much easier to filter out content when people also use more general tags. It's just a massive pet peeve of mine

I think from the moment I created my Tumblr account I'd already gone through and blocked the things that are like "#femreader" but also "fem!reader", "f!reader" "freader".. all those things. I don't really have a problem with blocking the repetitive variants so much as I have an issue with people just..not tagging at all, but I get what you mean! Or, even worse, when they put all 3 genders into one fic to try to reach a broader audience. Your notes mean very little when its majority people telling you to correctly tag your work instead of appreciating the work itself!!! One of the reasons I started writing in the first place was because of the lack of male or gay content, specifically for men, by a man. For instance; the majority of content I saw as a young teen was for women, ESPECIALLY in the BL/yaoi/manga subspaces where its all for fujoshis.

[ashs-cardboard-box]

Sorry that i rant but i just ahave to tell someone.

People on tumblr are weird. Some feel entitled to fics and i fucking hate it. There are the people that think they can request "female readers" when the author clearly states that they don't write that and then they have the audacity to be mad about it? Like i get that sometimes it can be a mistake, i requested a fic for characters the author didn't write, i apologized because i mistook them for another author and i moved on. But i don't get how people can be so mad that you don't write for female readers.

And then there are people that just insult authors???? Like if you didn't like the fic just don't move on?? It's a fanfic, it doesn't have to be like you imagined, people like different things, if you don't like smut don't read it and don't bother the author.

And please please please tag your fics right. It doesn't hurt you, it makes everyone more comfortable . There's nothing wrong with it so please just do it

So sorry to bother you about it but you opened a box that has been locked too long

And side note: i love love love your rdr2 fics. I read them over and over again. You are amazing, truly amazing. You have a writing style that just makes everything perfect. Thank you so much. You can really be proud of yourself

YOURE SO REAL !!!! Oh my god you're so fucking real. if I could somehow reblog this 40 times over I absolutely would. theres definitely some people in the world who need to be humbled. like, being on the internet doesn't give you the right to demand something. Writers put out content you can enjoy, but you don't get to command they write For You In Particular. Even if they take requests. You can ASK if they can write your thing, but if they don't, just find someone else who will or do it yourself. Also thank you sm !! I've been really stressed over school lately and kinda lost steam for a little while. Thinking about going back to it!

[ashs-cardboard-box]

Tbh one of the biggest problems i have with tumblr is that when i search for "(fandom) x male reader " everything remotely related to 'x reader" will show up.

It sucks, i want to enjoy fics that i know i like but there are so many fics that are either just "x reader" and sometimes even just different fandom???

They have to fix something because this bothers me so so much

EXACTLY. YOU GET IT. like it could probably be an algorithm issue that just buries x male and x GN reader fics under the more popular and more prominent x female or x reader fics, but its so unbelievably frustrating. I follow "x male reader", "mlm", and all that sorts of stuff but SOMEHOW I'll get a post that's like "Women <3 #women #lesbians" like. no. that's not at all what I want

[ashs-cardboard-box]

crashing out tbh

Hi gang. I don't rant here. I'm still alive, surprise surprise, but I'm just making a post because I'm pissed off by the writers on Tumblr. Specifically, the fanfic writers. CORRECTLY TAG YOUR FICS WITH THE SPECIFIED GENDER SOMEWHERE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE POST OR IN YOUR TAGS.

Its not fucking hard. I've gotten back to back to BACK fics that are [media] x y/n over and over again, then the header says NOTHING about what y/n this is for. 4 paragraphs down: "taking off your bralette."

WRITERS. This isn't HARD. If you can EASILY add 20 tags in a row all along the lines of "[media] fic"/ "[media] x y/n" / "[character] x y/n", then you can take the extra .2 seconds to type out "male" or "female". Even when I have specifically blocked "x femreader" in every single form, these fics slip through the cracks because they're incorrectly tagged.

(Attached example of what I mean)

This probably isn't a big issue but it pisses me off because it just ruins my fucking day. I want to read an actual good fanfic without getting bombarded and force femmed by "he enjoys your girly feminine womanly woman fem clit pussy skirt female she/her panties".

Not only do these show up on my feed unannounced, when I have purposefully filtered out ANYTHING to do with female reader or feminine reader or shit along those lines, but nowhere in the post does it state "female y/n". 30 total tags and you couldn't add ONE MORE ?? Seriously ???

I know its probably for reach but what's the fucking point of getting more traction in the first place if the people who see your post will just block you because that post ends up on their feed when they never asked for it.

MY POINT IS. Write whatever fanfic you want, just fucking tag it properly.

Precious Treasures

~ King!Dragon hybrid!Erwin Smith/Male Concubine!Wolf hybrid!Reader

~ Fluff (Day 11)

~ Secret Romance

~ 2k words

Royal + Hybrid AU :3 Size and rank difference mentioned and welcomed. No TW (unless you get upset by they/them Hange ??)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the expansive nation of Paradis, there lies a castle among the vast lands, run by hybrids from all sorts of species. Yet, for centuries, the dragons reign supreme, of course. Being a dragon was widely associated with strength, wealth and status, typically only seen in noble bloodlines. Whereas on the other end of the spectrum, most prey animals like rabbits or mice were what normally controlled the “lesser fortunate”. Everyone had their respective places, but you were the odd one out.

Usually, the wolf hybrids were deemed fitting for knighthood, regardless of background or gender. Their inherent need for a pack proved useful to past rulers in the instance of war or tragedy. Yet you were different. You were dubbed a concubine. Odd, yes..but to add insult to injury, you were the only male concubine in the palace.

King Erwin knew he had to have you the minute he laid eyes on you during an outing, spotting you whilst you were a squire, training to earn your rightful title as a wolf. His father before him, and his father before him, so on and so forth, they’d had many concubines, all women. But you? You were special to him. He’d requested you change your path from knighthood to be his concubine with no consequences. But surprisingly, you obeyed without the usual fear or defiance others would have.

He cared about you more than any noble should for a mere worker. He’d even gifted you the shiniest jewels from his hoard, dressing you up in them to really make you gleam. Shiny golden necklaces, bracelets, anklets, belts–purposefully avoiding any rings–all with his precious stones inside. In any other circumstance, he’d cut the arm off of anyone who tried to reach for his stash, but he loved you.

Your relationship with King Erwin was kept a secret. It had to be, even if you didn’t necessarily like it. No matter how obvious it was, just by the way your tail wagged each time he beckoned you into his chambers to fulfill your duty, it had to be kept silent. If the rumors were to be confirmed true, Paradis could fall to shambles with the knowledge that their king was courting not only a male concubine, but one out of his species. The King’s right hand, a black panther named Levi, strongly advised against it. He knew about your bond, albeit extremely grudgingly. He tried to stay out of it as much as possible…for his own sake.

During a particularly dreary morning, storm clouds overhead with the preparation for a heavy rain, your attention is pulled away from the window and over to the door as you hear a particularly chipper knock pattern, followed by a very familiar giggle.

Hange was the King’s stewardess, a hyena. There was talk that they’d made a deal with Erwin on his coronation that if they helped him out, they’d be allowed in the dungeon with the executioner for “experiments”, but no one could confirm nor deny. They didn’t even dare ask.

“I’m clothed, Hange. You can come in.” You call, turning just enough to face the door. Dressed in a lovely purple silken robe, gifted to you by Erwin himself, having just woken up after an absolutely restless night's sleep. Your room was one of many guest rooms inside the kingdom, since Erwin decided he couldn’t have you riding all the way back home in the middle of the night, especially if the people knew who you were to him. Each time you left, he kept himself up, sick with worry, before ultimately making a decision. One he knew would keep you safer in the long run.

It was a nice room, you had to admit. Probably larger on its own than all of the rooms in your entire house combined. Most of your personal belongings were taken from your residence and put into your new room with the help of a few cadet soldiers, who complained and dragged their feet, but you appreciated them anyway.

The large oak doors are pushed open with force, with Hange’s much smaller frame standing between them. Their tail was puffed up and wagging excitedly, causing any loose fur to fly off. “Y/N!” They beam, their voice carrying throughout the space, creating an echo that makes your ears twitch.

“Hi, Hange..” You grumble as you reach up to brush your hand over your ears, as if you could physically feel the tinnitus starting to blare. Your other hand remains around the strap that keeps your robe tied shut, not exactly wanting to flash them. “The King asked for you.” They inform, straightening themselves out despite the dramatic entrance. Their eyes locked onto yours over the rims of their glasses, a look you know that means “do this immediately”.

With a sigh, you nod, accepting your task and probably the punishment you know you’re going to receive. Watching Hange leave and close the doors behind them, you decide to head out as soon as possible, fully expecting a punishment for something you either did or didn’t do. Admittedly, dragon hybrids were a bit unpredictable, even worse during mating season; thank gods it wasn’t…you didn’t think.

Slipping your feet into your slippers by your door, adjusting your robe to make sure it’s completely covering your modesty, you pull open your door and step out into the grandiose corridor.

The long hallway stretched on both ways for what felt like hours, even if that wasn’t remotely true. The walls were made of various minerals like white limestone, with lovely marble flooring that Erwin likes to keep spotless and shining. Your room was fairly isolated from the others, since it was easier for Erwin to sneak in and out to see you without getting caught. Some of the castles’ daily keepers had their own spaces, with others needing to return back home for their families, but they weren’t nearly as grand as yours.

The king’s room was a floor above everyone else’s, heavily guarded by both experienced knights and soldiers, and less experienced squires and cadets. Usually, you had to shyly explain what you were wanting to enter Erwin’s quarters for if you weren’t being summoned, but to your surprise, the king was standing right outside the door. His arms folded over his chest and his spiny, scaly tail slowly swaying behind him. His face was a mask of indifference, as always. It was something you could respect. You found yourself having to grab your own tail just to stop its wagging from time to time.

“Your Majesty.” You greet, simultaneously calling attention to yourself. Stopping right in front of Erwin, you tuck your tail between your legs and bow your head, staring at Erwin’s feet. You could barely contain the grin spreading across your face, biting down on your inner bottom lip. You could feel the guards’ eyes on both of you, even if they tried to remain nonchalant about their eavesdropping.

“Y/N.” the king grunts, a plume of smoke leaving his mouth with an exhale, indicative of a dragon's irritation. Your ears flatten subconsciously. Part of you hopes he’s just keeping up the charade to take suspicion off of your relationship, the other part is rapidly racking your brain for any and all events you possibly could have missed.

“Come.” Without waiting for a response, Erwin steps past you and heads back down the hallway you just came from, tucking in his wings to prevent from accidentally hitting you with them. You follow along like an eager puppy, which technically, you were. As soon as you were out of eye and earshot of the soldiers guarding Erwin’s room, you let your ears perk up and your tail wag freely, if not a bit hesitant.

“You seem tense…sire…” You comment sheepishly, walking a bit faster to catch up with Erwin. You steal a brief glance up towards him, catching a sly look on his face underneath thinly veiled irritation.

“There’s just something I would like to show you in the garden.” He softens, glancing down at you momentarily before facing forward again. Despite Erwin’s softening demeanor, you tense immensely. You had planted an assortment of flowers that you’d purchased from the village market, just for Erwin. They were supposed to be a surprise for his upcoming birthday.

“Something?” You muse, your ears flattening again. You didn’t want to give away the surprise if Erwin hadn’t found out–you’d paid the gardeners to keep your gifts a secret–and found something else entirely.

Erwin hums in confirmation with a curt nod. His right wing expands just enough to curl up around you, keeping you as close as possible, discreetly taking your hand in his. Even if you two were a secret, he didn’t want any of his staff getting any funny ideas with you. Walking right through the throne room in silence, then out the open archway, right along the path into endless fields of land, just up the hill from the nearest Paradis village.

“Here– look!” He beams, his stoic demeanor crumbling entirely as he drags you along with him. Mentally complaining about your slippers getting dirtied from being outside, but it wasn’t like they couldn’t be cleaned. His tail begins to wag alongside yours, only slightly slower due to the large size difference.

Tugging you into the greenhouse, holding the door open for you, of course, he triple checks to make sure no one else is inside before ushering you over to the bed you’d tried to keep secret from him.

“Just look at them!” Erwin grins, sharp teeth on display. Kneeling down to gently caress the snowy white petals of a ghost orchid, his other hand interlaced with your own. “I can’t recall ever asking for the assortment, but they’re just beautiful.”

“Actually, I got ‘em for you..” You explain sheepishly as you slowly kneel down beside the king. With a brief glance down at your robe to make sure you’re not exposing yourself, you continue.

“Jade vine,” You point to a curved, bright turquoise legume. “Ghost orchid..” You pause on a bright red bunch of fire lilies. “I wanna say chile-something..” Erwin nods with a small huff of a chuckle, gesturing for you to continue regardless. While he was interested in your supposed gift, he also just wanted to hear you talk.

“Parrot’s Beak,” You wave towards an crimson “beak shaped” bud, followed by a turn to point at an unblossomed cactus flower that you also couldn’t quite remember. “That one blooms rarely at night.” You inform, returning your eyes to the king’s, only to realize he’d been staring at you all along.

Clearing your throat nervously, you give his hand a gentle squeeze as you stand back up, out of the curve of his wing. “I- uh.. I bought ‘em at the market a bit ago for your birthday… hadn’t really planned on you finding them before then.”

Erwin is silent as he copies you and stands up, pulling you into a sudden embrace, burying his nose into your hair. “Thank you.” He rumbles, his wings curling around you protectively as his tail begins to wag.

Slowly, you wrap your arms around him tightly, your face pulled right up against his chest. “You like ‘em?” You question, earning a slow nod that makes your own tail wag. “I love them..and you.” The king mumbles into the top of your head, hardly quelling the urge to bring you back into the castle and hoard you into his pile of jewels and gems.

“Love you too..” You whisper, just enjoying the warm embrace that you’d been craving all morning. You felt like you couldn’t get enough of Erwin, even if your surprise had been revealed a few weeks too early. “There’s also bismuth and garnet in my bedside table.” You add with a quiet chuckle, feeling the king’s muscles stiffen with excitement.

“Flowers and new additions to my hoard?” Erwin grins, picking you up with extreme ease and walking right out of the greenhouse with you in his arms, a bit dazed by the sudden move. “You treat me so well, my shining star.”
