Now You're Mine (It Was All My Design)

“Well... whip it out, Verstappen. Let’s go,” Charles said, smirking at him. 

Max hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his stretchy shorts and pushed them to the floor, taking his boxers with them. He could feel Charles’ eyes burning into his skin like somebody was holding a lighter to his flesh and willed himself not to blush.

This was fine; everything was fine. 

He had his cock out on a Wednesday night in Singapore, but everything was fine. 

OR: After a hook-up gone wrong, Charles asks Max to critique his blow-job skills. Neither of them expected to fall in love on their knees, but reality can be... hard to swallow. (The friends with benefits to lovers fic that has haunted me for months.)

in my opinion, the question isn't "Is RPF ethical?" but rather "Are you engaging with RPF ethically?" and even more importantly, "Are you being stupid about it?"

I personally hate any kind morality thought policing. I'm not Catholic or religious and I do not feel guilty over my thoughts. You are not an inherently evil person because you saw two athletes in an interview and went "Hmmm...... what if...." The Feds are not going to come banging down your door because you wrote about one band member dicking down the other and sent it to your friend.

Wondering about other people's lives is very human. Being nosy about their personal lives is very normal. People have been writing fiction about other people's lives since the dawn of time. Some people even manage to write New York Times Bestselling Books that are "historical fiction" or "alternate reality." It does not make you inherently bad to be curious about the details of someone's personal life. That's being human. Being nosy is kind of fun.

The problem, however, comes with the ways in which people engage with it, and involve the real people in this. Harassing an musician's real girlfriend because it doesn't fit into the RPF ship. Showing up at real sporting events holding signs about how certain teammates should kiss. Trying to get actors to sign art of them fucking their coworker. Flooding social media with comments using the celebrity's full name and speculation. There's a line, there's a fourth wall, and there's fandom etiquette.

I hate the question of "Is RPF ethical" because it feels like morality thought policing. Post your fics on locked accounts, censor someone's name when you tweet about it, blow up your groupchat with hundreds of "DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER??" texts. It's not inherently evil to wonder what other people are doing when they're out of the spotlight. Kill the cop in your mind.

But just have some basic decency and do not involve the real people. Don't cross the line without caring how it affects them. This is basic fandom 101 and lately we have been flying too close to the damn sun! Everyone get more normal about RPF so major news outlets and magazines stop posting articles about "Is RPF ethical?" and blowing up our spot!

and may the hands of a person who sewed this race suit be forever blessed for making it so tight around max's hip bones

[radioactive-earthshine]

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.

[mysteryteacup]

Fandom is not social media.

Fandom is not trends.

Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.

"Old" means nothing to fic.

look, would it be easier if I DIDN'T complain? no. no it wouldn't.

I love them...thank you Antoine...

also while i have your attention about 911, if anybody has any actually good buddie fic recs, please let a girl know. every fic i've ever clicked on has been bad. they're either so OOC, written by AI, or written by what is clearly a child, and i cannot seem to find the good ones. please help me. where is the good food? i know it must be lurking somewhere.

also for everyone who doesn't watch 911, feel free to ignore me lmfao

[fabbyf1]

omgggg you’ve watched 911??!?!?! This last season just felt like so much happened yet nothing happened and the hopeful buddie canon hope continues.

have you watched 911 lone star or Nashville? I’ve watched both and honestly lone star should have never been cancelled, abc should have picked it up and Nashville should have never happened.

(spoilers for season 9 under the cut)

RIGHT???? why did we spend 4 episodes in space 😭😭😭 who wanted that!!!! WHO ASKED FOR THAT 😭😭😭😭 WHY DID THEY BRING BACK THE SPERM DONOR CHILD, MAKE HIM A MENACE, HAVE THE PARENTS BLAME BUCK FOR HIM BEING A MENACE AND THEN KILL THEM OFF? WHO ASKED FOR THAT, WHO WANTED THAT, WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY GIVING ME !DADBUCK INSTEAD OF BUDDIE? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE THIS SHOW I HATE THIS SHOW (i will keep watching)

also i've never watched lone star, but i tried nashville and couldn't get through the second episode. it's so bad lmfao.

[fabbyf1]

I’ll be honest, I stopped watching a few seasons ago and just check in periodically so….how infuriating is the buddie situation at the moment?

[deqncas]

see you guys in september i guess
