my Fandom Trumps Hate auction page is live: DMBJ, AFTG/TFC and TGCF

CAN I INTEREST YOU IN SOME HOMEGROWN FANFICTION COOKED TO YOUR TASTES AND SPECIFICATIONS?

I’m taking part in my first Fandom Trumps Hate auction this year and the browsing period has just opened, including my page. I am actually the only writer offering DMBJ/Grave Robber’s Chronicles AT ALL this year, but I’m also down for AFTG/TFC and TGCF/Heaven’s Official Blessing. This auction means a lot to me since it’s giving me a way to pay forward the access to literally life-saving medical treatment fandom helped me get in 2021-2022, so if you’ve ever liked my work, please do me a favour and reblog - and have a look if you’re so inclined.

I’ve copy-pasted the relevant info below, but please don’t forget you need to go to this page to get the bidding information, and actually, uh, you know, bid. Any other questions you can message me directly here on Tumblr.

Organizations this auction benefits: Rainbow Railroad *, Sherlock’s Homes Foundation, Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund *, Any/all abortion funds (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Written Subtype(s): Fanfic Fandom(s): DMBJ/Grave Robber’s Chronicles , All for the Game, Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven Official’s Blessing) Highest rating: E (Explicit) Length/scope: Less than 5k words

Especially interested in: Big love for a Weird Gender Thesis, historical AU, media pastiches, and art history as metaphor. I’m clearly currently obsessed with HeiHua (DMBJ) but I love to return to a fandom (so: AFTG), and would be thrilled to try out TGCF for the first time as a writer. Happy to finish a chapter of a work if you always wanted to see something finished and I didn’t return to it. Smut-wise, I will absolutely write kink and I’m willing to negotiate on those.

I am open to various pairings I haven’t written before in any winning fandom, pending discussion.

Unwilling to address: I’m not going to write Xiao Hua as cisgender if a winning bid decides on DMBJ as their fandom. Rape/non-con is out for me, even in a consensual non-consent kink scene, as is torture, abuse in relationships, kink I do not feel equipped to write (sorry furries/kink involving bodily fluids/knifeplay, and so on), suicide/suicidality and related topics, pregnancy/kidfic, or medical settings (including psychiatric). I’m also not your best bet for a break up fic. If you’re unsure ahead of time please message me on Tumblr!

Notes: Anyone bidding on this is going to have to be willing to negotiate with me around their idea, as I’ll be honest with you - I’m drawing a blank on other Nos and this is my first auction, so I’d appreciate someone with flexibility on that front. I also wouldn’t be able to get started until the end of April, so if you are burning for a quick turnaround, I’m probably not for you on this occasion. I do love technical challenges and, again, pastiches, i.e. from a favourite film of yours and so on, and I’m happy to negotiate watching a film so I can do this - I don’t have to have seen it before. Thanks for reading!

Special Interests: Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters, Ambiguous endings

Minimum Bid: $10

Auctions run from 8:00AM EST, 1 March 2023, to 8:00PM EST, 5 March 2023.

(And here’s the link to go bid one more time, with feeling. I’ll stop now.)

Know Your Tomb Boys

i-am-trying-my-best-okay

Literally all of The Shadowhunter Chronicle romances are completely unhinged it’s not even funny (I lied, it’s very funny). Here’s just some examples:

William “Will” Herondale/James “Jem” Carstairs + Theresa “Tessa” Gray: It totally would have been a vee type polyamorous situation if it wasn’t for all the death and 1800s London society going on.

Henry Branwell + Charlotte Fairchild: How dare this misogynistic society put us together, I mean, we wanted to get together anyway, but not for those reasons. Welp, time to be as unconventional as possible.

Gabriel Lightwood + Cecily Herondale: Look, you made fun of my sister, it’s only fair that I marry your sister; that’s the rules.

Gideon Lightwood + Sophia “Sophie” Collins: Dad, I have a perfectly valid reason to betray you and go to the other side. What your doing is wrong and – nO tHiS haS nOThiNG to do wiTh tHeIR mAid wHy wOUlD yoU eVEn sAy tHat?

Jesse Blackthorn + Lucie Herondale: Your request to not be brought back to life has been denied, deal with it.

James “Jamie” Herondale + Cordelia Carstairs: He didn’t commit arson we were just having sex – why are you all looking at me like that’s worse?

Anna Lightwood + Ariadne Bridgestock: Listen, there’s a lot of society going on right now, so we’re going to have to get together in secret. Oh, you don’t want to? Okay, never mind, fuck society, let me win you back real quick.

Christopher Lightwood + Grace Cartwright: Oh good, you broke into my house, now we can talk about science.

Thomas Lightwood + Alastair Carstairs: I’d really like to hate you, but I think the biggest problem with that is that I love you. Once I get over that hurdle, I think we’ll be in the clear.

Lucian “Luke” Graymark + Jocelyn Fairchild: Good job on us for breaking away from the genocidal cult run by our best friend/husband; we should hook up, you know, as a reward.

Jonathan “Jace” Herondale + Clarissa “Clary” Fairchild: Ayo the same guy conducted experiments on our blood, that’s crazy; btw so glad we’re not actually siblings.

Alexander “Alec” Lightwood + Magnus Bane: Marrying each other is against the law? Okay, fine, I’m a law biding citizen. Oh oops, I made it legal. I am the law now, and I want a wedding on the beach.

Simon Lovelace + Isabelle Lightwood: It makes sense to have our engagement party on the day of my brother’s death, that’s when we really started bonding.

Helen “Alessa” Blackthorn + Aline Penhallow: Well, I guess we’re going to go in exile together. Yes, I said together; your exile is my exile, what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine, that’s how relationships work.

Julian Blackthorn + Emma Carstairs: Yes, it’s a technical war crime to love each other, but the law itself is not really our main concern about it.

Kieran Hunter + Mark “Miach” Blackthorn + Cristina Rosales: We’re really living that cottage core aesthetic, and all we had to do to get here was do a small war and some amnesia. Worth it.

Gwyn ap Nudd + Diana Wrayburn: I’m going to stand by just in case something happens, but it probably won’t, she knows what she’s doing – WHY IS SHE JUMPING OUT THE TENTH STORY WINDOW OH MY GOD WAIT

Tiberius “Ty” Blackthorn + Christopher “Kit” Herondale: We take cosplaying Sherlock and Watson VERY seriously, so of course we needed to go to all the most illegal places, it’s only natural.

Ash Morgenstern + Drusilla “Dru” Blackthorn: So anyway I saw them in a sort of fever dream like state this one time and they’ve still been on my mind for years.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Since I've got the file I want y'all to suffer with me

I feel like no gif or image could transcribe the actual level of detail of Ji Sung's acting here.

CW: please read

Implied physical child abuse

Gets stopped before the actual act but the implication is on the other side of the fine line with explicit

Graphic depiction of injuries

Loud metal noise.

uweiy

So this tag of @kingkangyohan reminded me of why I wanted to post this in video actually.

It was because, while making my little screenshot post like "looke i love this scene aaaa" i kept getting frustrated because. I couldn't show every screenshot & expression I wanted because. There were just. SO MANY.

The amount of facial expression he goes through in the span of like. A few seconds. Is unbelievable.

We have

the blank-eyed instinctual reaction to catch his father's arm

The glance at his younger self, remembrance and feeling his pain

"Don't hit me." He pleads— and this is so well done, because you can feel that no matter how much time has passed, It's still Yohan's father and he still has a grasp over him. Yohan doesn't order, he pleads. And you only do that with a person that holds some power over you. And not only that, he pleads without hope. He knows that one, his father will not obey, and two that you cannot change the past.

Same

The pain is starting to be overwhelmiinng

Pure pain :D.

Trying to get it back under control

Steadying himself and exhaling

"I'm so sick of this place

And, not only did I struggle here for the descriptions because. It's not something you think, It's something you feel, viscerally, but once again!!! I had to leave out so. Many!!

Anyway. Brilliant.

The Devil Judge = Korea cross breed Guardian with Judge Dredd and gave it Dexter for a nanny who dressed it up in a pretty suit and flowing robes and pretended it wasn’t gay.

BL tropes deployed in Devil Judge

Drag baby around

Public claiming

Face touch

Wall lean loom in the library (plus the autoerotic asphyxiation variant)

The side eye

Symmetrical stare

Wound tending

Dress baby up (stealing from boyfriend’s closet)

They not gay but the camera makes no case for this.

Further evidence:

Yaoi manga staging and framing techniques used explicitly to emphasize the semi/uke dynamic:

Some serious come hither eyes

And some gratuitous physical touch.

There’s the whole dinner scene in Ep 11 where GaOn welcomes their visitor into their house, serves her dinner, keeps up the conversation, needles her on hubby’s behalf, takes care of the child (serving her and stopping her from drinking) and generally acts the part of a good wife and consummate hostess.

There is also a lot of seme beats up people on baby’s behalf. Also set things on fire and a bit of torture. Because Devil Judge.

Going in we all knew that this particular narrative would never allow these two characters to end up together as a couple, but it would allow one to become the other. And it certainly would have allowed either one to die trying.

The cleverness of this drama is that, in the end, it did none of these things.

YoHan was never hungry for a lover. I thought he was hungry for an heir apparent. He always knew the path he walked was doomed, what he needed was a messiah to carry on his message and devilish work.

But that’s not what he wanted either.

Knowing he was doomed to play the bad guy, what YoHan wanted was balance - the counter to his evil and the moral foundation that he willingly forwent. YoHan knew that nothing, not even love, would detour him from revenge. And in order to take that revenge, he must do so publicly and thus out himself for the devil (justified or not). He wanted GaOn to be, not his heir, but a better version of himself. He wanted GaOn to be the man he couldn’t, a man capable of rising above his own past.

Honestly, this show ended in a much more cohesive manner than I was expecting. It also ended a lot more happily. I was convinced one or both of them would die.

Instead they survive, but apart.

The fact that the narrative even hinted at the possibility of a reunion was more than we had any right to expect.

In that this drama reminded me of La Femme Nikita (the USA network series).

If you’re thinking of this as a BL (and let’s be clear despite the rampant tropes and yaoi filming techniques it most certainly is not) then the ending mirrors something like that of The Untamed.

So that’s what you’re in for.

In conclusion:

Watch The Devil Judge.

It v good.

Unless you want a romance (there’s no HEA), a BL (this might be gay but it ain’t BL), or hate queerbaiting (that’s open to interpretation but if you go looking for it, it’s present) in which case, skip it.

Devil Judge… is it queerbaiting?

BL fandom obsessed with Devil Judge, why?

Devil judge meets the Korean wave, is bromance a trend in K-dramas?

Why Devil Judge not BL despite tropes?

I just love this photoshoot, okay? All I did was clean it up and colour corrected it a bit. Nothing big.

You gotta love the fact that neither of them could keep their eyes of each other and were so obviously falling in love. However, only Yohan was truly aware of what was happening, while it took Gaon ages to figure it out.

youtube keeps recommending me ultimate note clips and it's like. is wu xie okay???? like how come all of these clips are about him being in mortal danger

bro. how much bad luck can this one guy have

epicwalrus

That’s not even half of the mortal danger he finds himself in XD His bad luck is so legendary that in the books the show is based on, people will refuse to adventure with him.

Some people have nice hobbies like writing or knitting, Wu Xie’s hobby is getting himself into danger and waking up corpses so Zhang Qiling will come and rescue him.

A break from To My Star angst for our favorite boy

This caption had me CACKLING

Wu Xie really just took the “damsel in distress” trope and was like, I’m you but stronger

In which Kim Theerapanyakul is batshit insane

whomst-art-thou-whomst-whomst

Okay but the camera work is fantastic and it loves Satur so much

Just look at the shot of him stepping on and sliding the gun away from the guy, and immediately panning up to that look on his face; next to Vegas’s more batshit moments this was the shot where I really felt scared for a second, because he is almost toying with the guy, he knows he’s in control despite being outgunned (did he even have a gun? Can’t recall) and outnumbered with a civilian nearby to protect. Kim is the scariest person in that whole family.
