Mostly Jori fics and anything else interesting

sapphic vampires are just not represented enough

[tiny-pun]

Anyone who hasn’t touched, let alone updated their unfinished fic in months or years, thinking nobody cares anymore:

I promise you this isn’t true! We are DYING here for you to keep going!!! Some of your fics we might be actively waiting to be finished, others we will be delighted to get to experience once again, only remembering that we liked it!! Do it ! I promise you ppl care more than you think !!

i love this new gen of pop stars so much

[allamericansbitch]

an absolutely humungous update they just keep getting better

[rowark]

I think this needs an important addendum:

Not only did Billie Eilish donate $11.5M, she also called out a room full of billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, directly to their faces, saying "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but, yeah, give your money away, shorties."

The $11.5M she's donating is about 1/4 if her net worth. Imagine if a billionaire did that? If Mark Zuckerberg donated 1/4 of his net worth, it would be about $55 BILLION... and he's still have over $100 billion left.

And, yet, unsurprisingly, people are mad at Billie Eilish for what she said and not at the billionaires for hoarding all the money and resources

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

dear lord, please take all life problems and responsibilities away from fanfic writers but also make them financially stable and happy with nothing to worry about so they can happily focus on writing and posting fanfiction. amen

The killer dolls!

[msdarkshadow666]

They’ve completely taken over my brain and I’m sad we’ll probably never get to see more of them, but maybe that’s for the best. I’ve seen interviews talking about “M3GAN falling in love in the future”, and honestly, I can’t take another “female AI falls for a man” storyline. Why are stories about female-coded AI always centered on men?

The only “female-centered” AI/human relationships media seems to know are either:

“This robot wants to replace the mom and seduce the husband” (which, let’s be real, is still all about the man), or

“She found a little girl and now she’s the mom.”

Why are the M3GAN films the only ones I can think of that explicitly focus on women? Sure, they lean into the “motherhood” trope with Cady, but whatever is going on between M3GAN and Gemma, especially in the sequel, is genuinely fascinating. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Maybe Alien: Resurrection comes close, but Ripley isn’t exactly “fully human” at that point either.

Hollywood’s attitude seems to be: “Queer AI or just an interesting relationship between a woman and a female-coded AI? Absolutely not! Let’s just recycle another love/horror story with a hypersexualized female robot and a man.” It’s exhausting. If we ever get a third M3GAN movie, I really hope they keep the focus on her bond with Gemma and Cady without dragging a man into it. I love their messed-up little family, and I’d love to see more of them. Huge shoutout to the fanfiction writers, you’re doing one hell of a job. Hollywood could never!

After the first movie, I never thought I’d end up shipping them. At first, I brushed off lines like “our child” from M3GAN, because she was designed to look so childlike, which was the point. But after her 2.0 upgrades and the movie making it clear that M3GAN can take literally any form (because, you know, she’s AI), I was all in. I mean, that body-sharing scene? Hello??!

Also, I don’t get the whole “she’s only 3 years old” argument. Have you seen how fast real-life AI develops and it’s nowhere near M3GAN’s level. You can’t compare her to a human in that regard. Plus, as far as I remember (I could be wrong), we never really learn how long Gemma was working on her. Just that she initially started as a personal chatbot. What we do know is they spent countless nights together, talking about Jane Austen, Janis Joplin, and everything in between. (M3GAN rants about it after Gemma tries to get rid of her in the first film.)

The way the sequel flipped the classic trope of “the AI hates the mom and wants the husband’s attention” into M3GAN despising Christian and teasing Gemma about knowing he isn’t her type? Absolute gold! I still need to see that browser history, because no one can convince me Gemma is straight. She gives such strong gay aunt vibes.

I get why a lot of people interpret Gemma/M3GAN as mother/daughter, and I respect that. I actually love how different perspectives in this fandom coexist without drama. It’s been such a surprisingly mature and chill space. To be honest, I don’t know how Gemma sees her in canon (she probably doesn’t know either. We love our emotionally constipated queen), but I think it’s been well established that M3GAN doesn’t really see herself as her child/daughter. Yes, Gemma made her, but she clearly thinks she is a better fit for the parenting role or at least wants to be seen as Gemma’s equal. She cares deeply for Cady as a friend and guardian and has this wonderfully snarky, bickering dynamic with Gemma, especially in 2.0, where it looks like they hate each other, and Gemma definitely did at first (who could blame her after what happened), but at the end they both care for one another. Would they ever admit it out loud? Probably not.

Poor Cady is stuck with two too-smart-for-their-own-good, but somehow extremely flawed moms. Honestly, I’d love to see the series go full Terminator: Dark Fate and have M3GAN and Gemma raising Cady together.

Anyway, I could rant about this forever, but no one’s reading this anyway. Hope you enjoy this video. No fancy effects/transitions, just an insight into M3GAN and Gemma’s developing relationship.

the fact that M3GAN 2.0 is flopping hard is SO sad bc it’s due so much in part to people simply not understanding? Not caring? That M3GAN in the original film was NOT your typical slasher villain. People kept comparing her to characters like Chucky, but if you paid even the tiniest bit of attention to the first movie beyond “creepy toy kills people”, it basically slaps you in the face with the fact that M3GAN was not cartoonishly evil. M3GAN was a tragic figure created by a woman who saw her not as a sentient being, but as a tool. She was given the impossible task of comforting, teaching and essentially raising a child when she was literally just born herself. She was tasked with the insanely vague objective of “protecting” that girl, while having no real understanding of death or morality or anything in the world beyond what she could read online.

Saying “they ruined her as a villain!!” shows a fundamental misunderstanding of her character as a whole. And that’s to make no mention of the fact that a HUGE theme throughout the first film was an oddball and damaged family trying to figure out how to love each other! To emphasize that and then go “except M3GAN though, she’s irredeemable” (especially when some of her biggest flaws are ones she inherited from her human creator!) would only undermine that message.

She is an extremely damaged child, just like Cady, and she’s a part of the family, too.

When I first learned of it, I wasn’t excited at all by the thought of a M3GAN sequel. It felt like it could only be a boring rehash of the first movie. My mind changed when I saw the trailer for 2.0 - and then when I saw the actual film, I was super impressed by their willingness to experiment and try something new. Was it ridiculous? Of course! The first movie was, too. But to see people reject it so hard because it tried something new (and logically followed M3GAN’s character arc to the places implied by the first film) is sad to me.

And it sounds like the creators of the movie loved M3GAN so much, they truly believed in her. Which just makes it all the sadder :/

I came up with some ideas if they ever did a Victorious reboot like they did iCarly. I was inspired by Quinton's pitch to make the characters careers to be failures in a hypothetical reboot

Tori's popstar career has hit a stump and looks to her old friends to help reinvigorate her career

Jade is a struggling Indie Goth rockstar/Horror movie actress and we get a slowburn Jori

Andre is a mental health specialist, dedicated to helping people like his grandmother. Not really a failure, but decided helping people was better than being famous

Trina is a podcaster who talks about being abused and neglected by awful parents who prefer the "golden child" sibling. Tori and Trina are working on repairing their relationship

Beck is…………lets go with struggling actor. He was a teen heartthrob but as he grew older, his appeal wore off and struggled to get roles

Robbie is in prison and Rex is in a evidence locker never to be opened lol

Cat's story is….dark. Okay there is no way in hell they are going to get Ariana to return. You can either pull a Charlie from Charlie's Angels and have Ariana send voice memos as Cat or go in a dark direction. Since it would fit the dark humor of Victorious. They could say Cat's brother returned and Cat hasn't been seen ever since.

Sinjin, just make him a Musk type billionaire. How is this a failure? He's a soulless tech billionaire like Elongated Muskrat.

Having it failures makes the title of “Victorious” sadly ironic, AND IT WORKS. Over the course of the series, they would eventually work towards their own victory, and then the reboot title finally makes sense.

Guys, stop being crap to creators. You aren’t hurting Amazon. You’re stealing from writers.

[blackcrowcalling]

This is an extremely frustrating trend to watch happen. Indie writers already work so hard, and there's nothing they can do. Amazon doesn't give a damn, they profit either way.

Please download Libby if you want access to free ebooks that were legitimately purchased by a library. Hurting people like this means they can't afford to write books.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

fanfic writers, here’s a friendly reminder that you are not less of a writer if you haven’t posted anything in years, you are not less of a writer if your works aren’t as popular as other writers’, you are not less of a writer if some trolls left you rude comments (they either just want your attention or are simply intimidated/threatened by your talent), you are not less of a writer if you write short one-shots instead of a 100k novel-length fanfic, you are not less of a writer if you’re not satisfied with your writing (I promise you it’s so much better than you think, you should be proud of yourself), you are not less of a writer if you’re not comfortable posting any of your works at all.

you are always as valid as any other fellow writers out there.

another reminder: fanfic writing is not a competition, and it’s not a job. don’t put so much pressure on yourself. always remember, the point of writing fanfictions is that we get to have fun, escape reality into the world we create in which we can write anything we want.

it stops being a getaway and a safe place the second we treat writing fanfic as a job or a competition. no, you’re not writing for anybody. you’re writing for you. this world you create is just you and your blorbos. have fun. it’s your getaway.

For all my writer mutuals, I see you, and I appreciate you 🫶🏻
