If a character in the media I'm currently consuming is an irredeemable villain there is a 90+% chance of me falling for them.
I tend to ship problematic things in general so I'll be linking my other accounts below just so there won't be any surprises down the line for those who decide to follow:
AO3
X
(My other) Tumblr
I finally found out who Lara's new face model reminded me of!!
I have no idea if I'm tagging the "fandom" section correctly, but oh well.
More Kasbiote.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Red: So I have two sides
So I'm writing a fic and I'm trying to figure out what Cletus would wear but it's extremely difficult because I swear - that man is always naked hhhnnng
Carnage USA anyone?
Carnage !!!
Ok, I say this KNOWING it sounds like a joke
But EARNESTLY what the fuck does Shriek see in him?
The only interpersonal characterization he's gotten thus far is that he's an insulting, controlling, jealous douche.
Amazing Spiderman 380
His murderous demeanor and controlling ways enchanted her apparently.
But yes, Cletus for the most part is all that (and much more) and the funny thing is that he somehow gets not one love interest who is endlessly devoted to him but two.
Tumblr sexyman lookin ass...
Wait, who's the other one?
And surely even TUMBLR would have better taste than that. Right? Right?
The Carnage symbiote itself.

It's insane how much Symbiote comics would improve if they just brought back Mike Costa to write for Venom and Zeb Wells to write for Carnage.
I read ABSOLUTE CARNAGE 3 and oh guys…
Every time Cates writes about Garbage (I will not call him Carnage, not now not ever, I mean, it’s not even him ahah) I have the impression he really just likes to put random quotes from old comics together (Mind Bomb - It’s A Wonderful Life, for example), trying to create the most efficient (in his mind probably) and edgiest thing he can, without considering at all the value and meaning of those words he likes to slap in his Garbage’s lines. And from this, you can see how bad he is. The way he uses those quotes suggests a lack of understanding of those old comics he claims to love. It’s really painful, guys XD Picking random old character’s quotes doesn’t make you a good writer of that character…it’s a lazy and clumsy stunt that leads inevitably in some aberrations like:
“I’M SEX AND VIOLENCE”
which is a total misunderstanding of the “It’s A Wonderful Life” line: “VIOLENCE IS SEX”
(and if you didn’t read “It’s a Wonderful Life” I strongly recommend it <3 )
And I don’t know…this is just one line from this issue but I found it so funny and at the same time really frustrating ahahah
Everything is so wrong uuugh
Carnage's response to how Carion came back to life is generally my response to that question in a comic.
Amazing Spiderman 379
One of my favorite facts about Cletus is that he absolutely is smart enough and capable of manipulating/charming people. He just actively chooses not to most of the time, probably because he doesn't have the patience to.
Using the fact that both Carnage and Cletus' refer to Eddie as "dad" as evidence that they're "siblings" sure is... something else.
...What...what would you call the father of your spouse if you were married?
I love making memes that I specifically (and maybe 3 more people) find funny.
On fic Readers and Writers
There seems to be this shift in the fanfic reader/writer dynamic lately.
People say readers have become more "entitled", rarely commenting and when they do, it's often that they leave a simple "More!" or "When will this be updated? It's been X days/weeks." The thing is, those types of readers have always existed. They're nothing new, they've been around since the days Fanfiction.net was thriving. Yet it seems to me that writers weren't nearly as bothered about it back then. (And yes, I get how disheartening it can be to get a notification for a comment only to find out that it's a simple "(Please) update!!". Yes it is rude, but some people act like readers who leave comments like that killed their family and burnt their house down. Like they can't disengage themselves from just not taking a random person's words that seriously.)
The same goes for the comments who say: "Hey, btw I didn't like the ending/didn't like that you left this unfinished so I started writing an alternative ending/continuation myself". Those have also always existed, I'm pretty sure.
I guess the new addition would be the comments accusing the writing of being AI.
Anyhow, if you think readers have become more entitled, you know what? So have writers.
As someone who has been writing fanfiction for about a decade, I am so tired of seeing the "fanfic is a gift!" or "Never be rude to fanfic writers! They are sharing their unpaid labor with you for free!"
Well, first of all, you shouldn't be rude to anyone, that's a given. But "unpaid labor"? Seriously? No one is forcing writers to write. They write because they like to, because writing is a hobby for them - not a job that needs to be paid in any way.
Some people like to act high and mighty just because they posted something they had fun writing for some reason.
"Fanfic writers don't owe you anything!!" Okay? What do you mean "owe"? By this logic, readers don't "owe" you anything either. However, every writer (or 99,9% of writers) care about and strive for engagement. That thing that readers provide?
And don't get me started on the "writers only write for fun". Yes, obviously. But writing is one part of the fun. The other is the joy of people reading your story and telling you their thoughts on it. If you weren't looking for readers and thus for engagement, you wouldn't be posting your fic in the first place. I do think you are purposefully turning a blind eye on your intentions if you believe otherwise.
Anyway, TLDR: I think we've lost the plot somewhere. We have forgotten that fanfic is in fact a two-way relationship. Neither the reader nor the writer have or should have power over the other. It's a mutually beneficial exchange. Readers that aren't respectful don't get any more fanfic to read. Writers that aren't respectful don't get an audience.
I wish to be able to achieve this level of trust with someone.
