I'm Chasoc, and I make fanworks.

You can find me on AO3 here. The account is newer, but I'll post more in the future!

On this blog, you'll see fanworks, meta, and gifs for media that interests me. I've also written a Bruce Banner AU for fifteen years; you'll see lots about that too.

I am staunchly against censorship, moral panic, and mean behaviour. This includes hateful and dehumanizing rhetoric. Please be considerate and enjoy your stay.

Sometimes I want the sappiest, tooth-rotting fluff for blorbo. Other times, I just want to shake blorbo until the horrors fall out.

Wait I’m sorry parent/child incest fic?????? Why does that exist? Why do you KNOW that exists?????? What the fuck 🤢

I feel like you can sort of tell how long (or not) someone has existed in fannish spaces by how outraged they get about things like this. Like rings in a tree trunk lol. I've been in so many fandoms. At least one, but often multiple at the same time, since I was a teenager. I've seen just. Everything.

Sex pollen. Mpreg. Incest. Monster fucking. Tentacles. Pairings like Snape/Hermione that would be crazy abusive and illegal if they were real. Wild kinks. The babygirlification of all kinds of villains. So much RPF (the 'I sincerely believe they are secretly a couple' kind and the 'this is fictional but it's fun to imagine they're in love' kind.)

You learn to just scroll past shit you don't like or unfollow people or filter tags. The tldr of fandom is that humans are weird as fuck. And creative, and unhinged, and traumatized, and talented. And amazing. And every single thing that you clutch your pearls about 'well surely someone doesn't want to read/write THAT!' - someone does. Probably lots of people do. And those people are perfectly normal. In their offline lives, they're parents and siblings and they have jobs and friends and they go about their lives and they don't cause any harm. And that's the sticking point. There's this really concerning, frankly highly Evangelical idea that if someone enjoys the wrong kind of fiction, they are obviously a Bad Person. But nothing is that simple, and thought crimes aren't real, and you definitely have some thoughts or ideas that someone else would find fucked up. You don't have to like every kind of fic that exists. I certainly don't. But shaming people for their harmless fantasies about fictional characters is so boring. I saw Goody Proctor enjoying a Toxic Ship! Good for you, I'll alert the pope.

So, Ultimates #24... That was brutal. Bye, Bruce!

[hamletkin]

crazy to me that we all worship shakespeare when there is heavy evidence to support him being a serial killer

[starlitsecrets]

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

I can't mention the boob grab without posting this gem.

[chasoc]

I love how the different levels of tagging on tumblr are like...

Person 1: avengers

Person 2: avengers, mcu

Person 3: mcu, avengers, marvel, look at that subtle twitch of jeremy renner's bicep, the tasteful thickness of it, oh my god it even has a hand attached to it, chris evan's boob grab, my kingdom for that ass, thirst, even more thirst, some of these tags may not be suitable for children, dum-e

[otterlogic]

A professor at my school thought “bust a nut” meant to get angry

BONUS: 

[chasoc]

This will never not be funny.

[chasoc]

No one told me the octopus in Remarkably Bright Creatures would sound that sexy.

[chasoc]

I genuinely don't understand how Bruce Banner being in Kolkata and like... Jake Sully in Avatar, or Walt Kowalski in Gran Torino, or Eugenia Phelan in The Help, are in any way the same thing.

[me8t]

he would fucking love free willy

[lavenderpanic]

all of my writing is actually just thinly-veiled fantasy about being seen at your worst and still being loved

[caffeinewitchcraft]

this and that, eventually, we can be happy again

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

oh we are never getting out of the learned helplessness cycle are we gang

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

the only person responsible for you is yourself. this means it is entirely on you to:

check the tags on fic

block people/tags that cause you distress

look up trigger warnings for shows/movies/books

if you cannot find warnings, or something hasn't been tagged, make a decision for yourself as to if you proceed or not

register when something is causing you distress, and stop consuming that thing

If you have a severe nut allergy and are given a snack you've never tried before, you ask what the ingredients are. If you eat it without checking and have a reaction, that's on you, not the stranger who gave it to you who has no idea what you're allergic to.

[chasoc]

This also applies if you eat something and discover you have an allergy for the first time. It's still not the snack's fault, or the other person's fault. Sometimes shit just happens.

Even if you discover your limits mid-experience, it's still on you to back away from the thing.

There's a reason people don't keep eating trigger foods when they see a reaction starting to happen. Similarly, you shouldn't keep reading a fic if you're having a bad reaction.

[chasoc]

You ever listen to a song and think, "This song would be perfect for this incredibly specific use case"? And then cry, because it's probably never going to be used like that?

[titojefie]

we do a little tomfoolery

[chasoc]

I know the whole Hulk transformation thing is fucked-up, and a lot of people rightfully point out how much it would suck, but I don't see as much conversation about whether or not all his organs are failing, too, and how much worse that would make it.

It's bad enough that his body goes off like an airbag. Imagine if he has to deal with the feeling of a heart attack and kidney failure and all that good stuff, too, because everything has to reset. Maybe he can't even breathe, and he feels like he's not getting air.

Fun.
