latest fic: front doorstep - [c.redfield]

welcome to my blog, you can call me mavis!! (20s). below is a more extensive explanation of just what you’ve stumbled across…

this is primarily a fanfiction blog, all the characters i write for or used to write for can be found in my masterlist linked above.

i write with an f!reader nine times out of ten since i primarily write f/m smut, however most of my works are in the second person and do not have explicit use of pronouns. older works may feature she/her pronouns (i’m not super sure because i don’t tend to look back on them) and if a post does use specific pronouns it will be stated at the top of the fic. fluff drabbles tend to feature a gn!reader, so again this type of specific is always stated at the top of a work.

i am on ao3!! find me here or look out for this same pfp-

ao3 is where i have some older, longer fics as well as crossposts of some fics on here. if a fic has been crossposted it will be linked on a characters masterlist if you prefer reading on ao3.

blurbs and thoughts under 1k will be exclusive to here since i see no need to post that to ao3, but otherwise most longer works will be crossposted. drabbles are also crossposted in multi-chapter compilations.

my ao3 is currently locked so you can only read if you are a registered user!! this is unfortunately something i have had to do because of ai mining currently occurring on the site.

i do always do my best to put sufficient warnings on my fics, so please always read those before jumping into any works. if there are any warnings you want me to start using or any that i miss please don’t hesitate to reach out and tell me!! making sure people are comfortable is always my top priority, so if there is anything i ever need to change to accommodate then i am more than happy to do so and make changes where necessary.

you can also now support me on kofi if you would like to!! but of course there is no obligation <3

that’s all i can think to say for now, hopefully i’ve said enough, i think i definitely have. thanks for reading if you did and i’ll hopefully see you around!!

things I won’t let ai take away from human writers

em dash

“not x, not y, but z”

short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice

none of these belong to ai. these are all what human writers have been writing since day one, way before ai was invented. ai was trained to mimic how human writers write — so em dash, not x not y but z and short sentence stacking would never have been used by ai at all if ai hadn’t learned and mimicked them from human writers.

no, you are not “fighting against ai” by accusing every work that has em dash, not x not y but z or short sentence stacking in it as ai-generated, you are helping ai harm the writing community by engaging in witch hunt and scaring human writers away from creating/sharing their works for fear of being wrongly accused of using ai.

speculations, accusations and ai witch hunt harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

This whole thing was set up without our say we all need to make sure we’re heard.

[our-trans-punk-experience]

If you are in the UK or Brazil, to get around any age verification bullshit, download Proton VPN (the best free one) or any vpn of your choosing (I think the latest Firefox update has a pretty good one). Then log out and log back in.

If you live in a household with restrictions on the WiFi that prevent you searching for the vpn, all it takes is one café, pub, library, or friend's house with free WiFi, and you'll pull it off. VPNs do not take that long to download.

Stay safe, Stay punk 🏴🏴‍☠️

[airprime7]

So to be 100% clear:

tumblr just added an update that requires you to verify your age in order to view "mature content". I'm not sure how they do the verification (haven't yet checked), but given recent similar updates from things like Discord, it most likely involves sending them a photo of either your face or your ID.

In addition, over the past few months, and also years in the long-term, tumblr has been incorrectly marking things as mature content. These include:

Notifications about missing persons and requests for help

Posts about youth liberation

Posts about sex education

Posts about how the mature content is poorly implemented

Posts about being trans, more specifically about trans women and transmisogyny by both tumblr and users on tumblr

Non-sexual selfies by trans women/transfems

Trans womens'/transefems' ENTIRE BLOGS even if the blog contains no sexual content

Reblogs made by various blogs, mostly trans women, which add no additional content but somehow are marked as containing mature content, when the original post is not

Posts talking about racism and antiblackness both on and off tumblr

Posts by black people, especially black trans people, that are non-sexual

And likely many more I haven't seen

In essence, this update has mandated that a majority of users (within the UK and Brazil) must either a) submit their personal information to tumblr, a website whose moderation has been EXTREMELY biased against marginalised people and who I would not trust with my ID, or b) be excluded from absolutely all conversations tumblr decides are "mature content", whether they are actually sexual in nature or not. Furthermore, anyone not over 18 will also not be allowed to take part in these conversations, or even see them, or interact with many trans women or people of colour on this site, as tumblr decides.

This update is complete bullshit designed to censor and exclude marginalised people, poorly hidden under a guise of "protecting teenagers from sexual content", and they know it.

EDIT: This update apparently only affects users in the UK or Brazil, like me. This is still bullshit even if it's just some people.

[dreamyy-wisterias]

If Tumblr ever forces me to verify my age to use it, I'm leaving it. I've dropped social medias I had been using for years for less than this.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR ID TO ANY PLATFORM, ESPECIALLY NON-ESSENTIAL ONES LIKE FB, IG, YOUTUBE, TUMBLR ETC.

[lifesgrandparade]

I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.

[lifesgrandparade]

Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.

This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.

hello <3 i want to get back into writing short fluff’s for character practice and i was missing big man chris redfield so this is just a short sweet fluff about cuddling village chris who is feeling his age!!

ft. chris redfield x gn!reader

content: tooth-rotting fluff, established relationship, just some cuddling to help an achey old chris feel better!! 1.7k <3

He looks stressed.

It's in the height of his shoulders, hiked up to his ears with a deep muscle stiffness, and in the furrow of his brows that pulls a crease, or a few, into the skin. He's heavy on his feet as if lifting them to take a step has become difficult and a deep sigh accompanies every move he makes.

You've been watching this unfold all evening but it has gotten that bit worse in the last five minutes.

Chris had not long gotten out of the shower, the shower that was supposed to revitalise him and ease his many aches. But when he padded back into your shared bedroom, hair wet with droplets of cooling water still clinging to his greying beard, he managed to look worse off than before he'd trudged to the bathroom.

He'd forgotten his sleep shirt that was resting not far from where your feet are tucked under the blanket, and it's the groan he let out when he leant down to grab it that made your head shoot up. While one of his hands bunched it into a fist the other flew to his back reactively, like cradling a sudden pain.

A frown made a home on your face while he pulled it on, slow and lethargic and frankly hard to watch. His shoulders clicked, he hissed through gritted teeth, and when he hastily pulled the hem down over paunch he finally noticed your lingering gaze.

"Sorry, didn't mean to disturb you." his voice is scratchy but words sincere, referring to your book laid abandoned in your lap, pages pinched still under your thumbs as he stole away your attention instead. It was only a tool to usher away the time he spent in the shower, truthfully.

"It's alright. I was waiting for you, anyway." You're quick to put your bookmark in on the right page and discard the novel on your nightstand, like removing it from the equation will reassure him. But he's not looking. His eyes are closed and crows feet showing, hand back on his neck and rubbing at a stubborn spot like trying to soothe something deep.

It pulls at something in your chest. It's a deflating sadness, the sort of nagging that comes with the uncertainty of these things, a lack of confidence as to whether you have the remedy. You sit up straighter like trying to reach where he stands at the end of the bed, eyes never leaving his tightly-strung stature.

"Are you feeling okay, honey? You look tense."

The dulcet, honeyed quality of your voice breaks through whatever reverie had consumed him, making ears twitch and thick brows raise. Chris squints his eyes open like it's difficult, but that at least you know is just because of how apparently tired he is.

"Hm?" he hums, taking a long minute to process what was said. "Oh, yeah. M'fine, sweet."

Hands fly out towards him as he walks around his side of the bed, raised and ready as if to steady or catch him should the need arise, like anticipating that it will.

"Are you sure? I don't think I believe you." It's said with all the softness in the world, not wanting to call him a liar but wholeheartedly not believing his dismissal. He hunches over and one hand comes down to the mattress, anchored on the edge of it to steady himself as he slowly lowers to sit. It's like he's aged suddenly beyond his years.

Chris shrugs, broad shoulders facing you, and it's like you can see all the knots in the tense muscles crying out beneath his shirt. He's slumped in a way that minimises his usual bulky heft and his head stays low as if his neck is too tight to turn. Yeah, you don't believe him.

"Ah, I'll just sleep it off." he grumbles, grunting tersely as he pivots to lift his legs up onto the bed. He does a better job of that, at least, but not by a large margin and still ends up having to lift his leg by the knee pit to get it high enough.

"You're not going to let me help?" you ask carefully, watching him sprawl out on top of the quilt, arms thrown wide with hand grazing your thigh. He turns to you and you can see the muscle in his neck feather when he does, eyes squinting with a flinch.

"Well, I didn't say that." he's quick to correct, voice falling to something softer, more hushed.

The hand that brushed against you takes purchase then, sweeping up and down your leg with a mindless, soothing touch. His head lolls the other way with great effort, digging a deep dip in his pillow, and with a low huff he again lets his eyes fall closed. But it's not in the peaceful, comfortable sort of way. His nose is scrunched and eyes squeezed shut rather than resting, a pained expression.

"A cuddle would be nice." he hums, conceding. You reach for his hand with both of yours and hold it tight, thumb rubbing over sore knuckles.

"Yeah?" Some of the saddening weight disappears from your chest. "Come here, then." You squeeze his hand gently. He returns the gesture before pulling away so he can turn.

A barely there grumble is heard from the back of his throat as Chris heaves himself onto his side, rolling over onto his shoulder toward the centre of the bed, pivoted towards you. But when he's sees you sat with your back to the headboard and hands in your lap that grumble morphs into a bemused, wondering little noise.

"Aren't you going to lie down, too?" the confusion comes in with a thick linger, his timbre dulled by it.

You titter, eyes squinting with the smile that tugs the corners of your lips up.

"No, I said come here." you reiterate, patting your stomach with a guiding gesture before opening your arms to him.

The pieces fit together slowly, having to work their way through his mighty brain fog in order to click into place. Your arms never lower as you wait, beckoning him with grabbing motions of your hands. Chris shakes his head curtly, managing a small smile himself.

"Honey," he starts, all patience and velvet. "That's real sweet of you, honest, but I don't want to crush you."

"Crush me?" you echo, unbelieving. "Don't be silly, get over here."

"Sweetheart—"

"You let me lie like this all the time when I'm feeling crappy, right?" your tone edges on pleading without even meaning to, a lingering melancholy that really tugs at him. "Let me return the favour."

He sighs something weighty hearing the shift, feeling it pull taut on his heart. "I know, I know. I just think I'm a bit too heavy for that, sweet." he reasons, though slowly losing resolve.

"Well I don't. Come on, or I'll drag you."

He laughs, terse but rich and chesty. "You will, hm?" He watches you with a boyish smile that's not quite as young thanks to the crows feet that etch deeper every time he shows his joy, gaze thick with a sticky adoration.

"Please, Chris?"

He tsks and sighs again in quick succession, scrubbing his hand over his face and scratching along the line of his jaw, making coarse beard bristle. The glimmer of hope in your eyes never dulls, even when he has to drag his gaze away from yours to try to resist the pull of that loving look.

"Alright, alright." he yields with a grin, shaking his head with playful defeat. "But tell me if you're not comfortable, please? I'll only get heavier once I fall asleep."

You can't help the size of your smile, bubbly joy blooming in your chest as you make those grabbing motions again, giddy with victory. "That's okay, I'm prepared for that."

"Or so you say."

You shuffle a bit closer to the middle of the bed as Chris pushes his palms down to lift himself, one knee propped up underneath him for leverage as he moves to meet you. And, to be fair to him, he does come down heavy.

His weight drops from his palms to his elbows with a creak of the mattress. Arms tuck in along your sides, caging you in, and his head coming to rest on your stomach pushes a breath out of you. He makes himself comfortable rather quickly, lying between your legs with his own now hanging over the end of the bed, and he tucks his hands behind your back in a cosy hug.

It's wonderful.

Yes, he is hefty, but not heavy. The bulk of him pushes you further into the mattress in a welcome way, like a weighted blanket or thick winter quilt. He's as warm as always, a heat that radiates off of him and seeps into you, bone-deep, and makes your whole body relax, unbidden.

Your hands card into his cropped hair without a conscious thought, nails raking over his scalp soothingly, and you feel him go lax as you do so, relying further weight on you. His eyes close and it's not a scrunch this time, actually resting like sleeping and not straining. His responding hum is deep and resonant, the sound jumping up your spine.

"See? Isn't that nice?" you say softly, one hand wandering to fiddle with the necklace clasp at his nape. His loyalty to the St. Christopher you gave him always makes you smile whenever you catch glimpses of it, though you know he always has it on. And he doesn't seem to mind you fiddling with the chain, if he even notices.

Chris nods, beard scuffing against you. He presses his palm flat against the small of your back, making a pocket of warmth that earns a shudder, and burrows further against the softness of you, if it were possible.

"Yeah. You okay?" his words come muffled against your body with a tone made thick by fatigue.

"Mhm. Just like I said I would be." there's a lilt of smugness to your words that, on most days, Chris would pick apart. But right now, right here, the overwhelming sense of comfort enveloping him stops his wit from coming as sharply as it usually does. It's better than the brain fog, at least.

"Hm. I'll ask again in a few hours, see what you say then." he manages, still stubborn on his point.

"Bring it on, honey." But you only shrug and keep combing at his short hair, getting situated and comfortable in your spot, ready to stay put for a long while yet…
