Hello! Is it alright to know who the admins are for this network? Couldn't find it in your rules page. Sorry for asking. But with all the drama going on, I'm kind of avoiding a specific admin who I don't agree with in terms of values. I just want a welcoming and stress free environment 😭
Hey! The admins are @cinnaminsvga @jincherie and @hobiwonder :D
The ghosties are a pretty welcoming bunch! Since the whole premise for this net was to connect writers who write very casually (literally our motto is “we post and then we ghost”), I’d say the environment is pretty chill. We don’t even require you to post fics regularly! If you have at least one fic on your blog, that’s pretty much guaranteed entry into this net (so long as you follow the other rules of the application too!)
We hope to see your application! We have a fic event coming up soon that the admins and I are very excited to reveal, so we hope that you can join that too when the time comes!
totally not-an-accident, very much bastiaan’s from the very start, the unexpectedly blonde twin girls that came from thoroughly beautiful yet mismatched parents.
needless to say, ariel getting pregnant in the first place was a surprise. the couple had slept with each other in a semi-regular basis but still saw other people whenever they see fit, and despite ariel’s propensity to take everything to stride, she thought that being married to someone and having another person’s baby was entirely too much, and it wasn’t as if she was going to take off with her lover à la anna karenina and count vronsky. thankfully, the baby was bastiaan’s, and thus started the most terrifying adventure of her life.
they were very much sure that the bragança curse of twins would not reach them, ariel was a twin and she was sure that ‘these things usually skipped a generation, right?’. turns out it doesn’t, and two people who had no business in raising children were unceremoniously thrust into raising two. when it came to names, ariel had fought bastiaan so that she could name their daughters after gertrude stein and edna ferber, he had refused, of course, for he definitely did not want their daughters to be named after dusty grandmothers. so she settled with female author names that sounded more modern, at least.
leonora carina van oranje-nassau ( lily donaldson )
ariel’s uncle leo thought that leonora was named after him, and sweet ariel would only nod in response. the girls were raised as the exact same age, no one was older than the other, so for the longest time the girls thought that they came out of their mother together at the same second. leonora was intelligent from the very beginning, something that shocked her parents -- for her curiosity in the natural sciences certainly did not come from them. she had perfect grades, got scholarships that she definitely did not need, and pursued higher education in the most prestigious universities in the world, earning her a phd in astrophysics from oxford university. but she inherited her parents’ easy gait, making her both chill and intelligent; a terrifyingly intimidating combination.
evelina maeve van oranje-nassau ( martha hunt )
evelina is much less independent as leonora. she clung to her sister growing up as much as she did to her parents, oftentimes trying to insert herself to other people’s interests even though it doesn’t really reflect her own. in her childhood, eve begged for painting lessons to become closer to her mother, and tried her best to listen and absorbed as much as she could during physics classes at school. neither were for her. so she found herself travelling the world trying to ‘find herself’, the way that only the rich could afford to do. fortunately for her, the twins inherited their parents looks and bastiaan’s height, and eve found her own piece of stardom as she signed to a modelling agency. she enjoyed the spotlight and the fact that she didn’t have to share, eve shared her mother’s sunny disposition and her father’s propensity of breaking hearts. needless to say, she only had to walk into a room and all the attention will be directed towards her.
ariel’s obscure name references (gross):
leonora: leonora carrington, an english surrealist artist and author
carina: the italian spelling of karenina, from anna karenina by leo tolstoy
evelina: the eponymous novel about a scandalous woman in the 18th century, written by frances burney
maeve: maeve brennan, a 20th century short story writer and journalist, who wrote a satirical commentary on new york high society in the new yorker magazine
Can you do a recommendation list of fanfics that doesn't end with weird shit like Yuuri pregnant, rape, or things on the bad list?
oh fuck yea...,,.,.,,
coming to terms by lesbianmari - victor’s realization wasn’t a pinpoint. it was a culmination of years of knowing something was different. an ache without a name. a story about victor learning, accepting, and loving himself.
katsuki_fc wrote by tetsurashian - just because yuuri isn’t big on social media, doesn’t mean his fans aren’t. (aka a social media fic)
sight of the sun by cityboys - it’s still now, reaching inside himself and finding nothing but love there, and a yearning for life—for the rest of his own life—that’s never been this sort of present before. it’s still new, just like the band on his own ring finger is still a wonder, just like seeing yuuri’s own band has not stopped giving victor such a dizzying rush of emotion every time he sees it, days after the wedding.
welcome to detroit dental and orthodontics by stanzas - victor stops the car, turns off the engine, and yuri rolls out the car with the attitude of every slightly inconvenienced teenager. yuri flips his shades up, stares in disbelief at the sign in front of the well-manicured lawn squished between two old barber shops: DETROIT DENTAL AND ORTHODONTICS.“you’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” he says.or: victor has a crush on his favorite shy, attractive dentist, and Yuri suffers.
ariel adopted little colette, nicknamed coco ( a york chocolate kitten ), when she was in university in italy, and had never parted with her since if she could help it. she is named after the writer; sidonie-gabrielle colette, of the belle époque era. the constant to her life as she travelled, strangely never quite the one to fuss -- ariel was never one to make complicated travel decisions, but she would go above and beyond to bring coco over international waters if she was going to stay for more than a few weeks. now six years old, arrogant little coco would only approach those who she knows, lazily coming up to them and rubbing her tail against their leg. mean and friendly all at once, ariel truly wont have her any other way.
hey sorry if you’ve answered this before (your the only blog i thought of asking) but is it a sexualization of a minor (yuri plisetsky) if you’re a minor yourself? wanted to make sure about something - thanks
no it’s just being a freak. like esp if you’re older than him you shouldn’t be doing that shit. also... it’s production of child p-nography so
Hey this is probably a dumb question and I'm sorry if it's in ur FAQ (I'm on mobile) but what actually is a weeaboo/koreaboo/chinaboo??
What's an otaku
A weeaboo/koreaboo/chinaboo is someone who fetishizes Japanese/Korean/Chinese culture, and uhhh it’s not good scoob lmao and an otaku is someone who is so obsessed with something (usually something in pop culture) to a point that it’s a detriment to their social skills and i cant really?? explain it properly with the right connotations but it’s not a nice thing to call someone and it’s not something you should be calling yourself lmao
Could you explain why omegaverse is bad? i don't really get it
long story short, it’s transphobic and usually has heteronormative tropes that fall into homophobia. this post explains it a lot better than i ever could. it’s quite long, but it’s very in-depth and informative. @yoific-without-theshit also has a post here with an explanation.
