if i had a nickel for every time someone wrote a newsies au that takes place during the holocaust containing misinformation and/or minimization of the torture and ethnic cleansing during that time period, shockingly i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice because this fandom should be too darn small for that.

[jack-kellys]

so what isn’t acceptable in fandom spaces is to message a person from the content you enjoyed so frequently that they block you, no matter their level of fame. this is common knowledge correct

[jack-kellys]

so given the fact that i actually wasn’t speaking about an individual, and instead speaking about a common fandom trend, can we all admit that repeatedly messaging someone you have a parasocial relationship is not a good behavior to practice. is that so hard. please. this is basic boundaries.

There’s a time and a place for discussing the impacts of discrimination on marginalised groups and that time and place is not tumblr headcanon posts

i wondered if the frat!jack au was gonna touch on the whole can-bisexuals-say-fag/dyke. there’s a whole lot of debate on it right now

i will not be touching on it very much bc tbh i think any queer person can do anything ever and still be hot and sexy and awesome (/hj)

i just… think there’s so many more issues facing our community than which of us are allowed to say what words, and as long as you’re not saying it maliciously then i don’t really see the issue. now of course this is my PERSONAL opinion and you can absolutely disagree, you have every right to do so, but i think….. just let people do what they want and identify how they want lol. if they aren’t hurting anyone then i don’t see why not. labels aren’t everything to everyone

and also like… in the broader sense.. it is just a newsies fic, it’s not an all-encompassing queer manifesto

in my mind, jack’s hesitancy to call himself a fag (which lets be real. he’s a fag. everyone in the fic is so deliciously faggy) is rooted in the fact that he HAS said it maliciously before, and therefore doesn’t feel like he deserves to say it anymore. that is an issue between him and god i think. he needs a good therapist and some good weed and then he’ll be fine

tl;dr: i wont be touching the “bisexuals can’t say fag” discourse in this fanfiction bc frankly i don’t think it matters. queer people can say whatever they want as long as they’re not being assholes about it !! we have bigger fish to fry than policing which identities can say words

[uncertaininnit]

This but ralbert, the reason the pics of them are so bad is because neither of these two are capable of standing still near each other 🙏

[metallicmikus]

I’ll start:

Thanks for the tag 👍

He grimaced, glancing up. His heart dropped, throat constricting against a panicked yell as a darkened figure slammed into him, sending him crashing to the floor. He hissed, briefly blinded by the hit to his head and screeched at the hand that smashed down over his mouth and nose.

No pressure tags: @piedoesnotequalpi @to-be-a-dreamer @we-are-inevitable @claireverlasting literally anyone else who wants to join in I cannot remember urls right now lol.

[to-be-a-dreamer]

I tried to finish my mini-bang fic today and somehow ended up with 800 words of the Julie and the Phantoms AU

“Please don’t call him my bestie, he will beat you up,” Jack groaned. “He can certainly try but one of us learned how to throw things today and it wasn’t him.”

idk who's done this already or not but I'll do my best: @we-are-inevitable @jack-whatsyourangle @moth-based-cryptology @claireverlasting and anyone who wants to join!

[tarantulas4davey]

i feel like i chip away at this au bit by bit and barely get the story moving forward but hey, thems the breaks sometimes. have some chess au that lives on a dusty shelf in the discord server ig

“‘But beating you… beating you is beating an ideology, an entire nation’s approach to chess summed up in one punk kid.’”

if you have already done this: i’m sorry! if you haven’t, have fun! @jack-kellys @we-are-inevitable @claireverlasting @jack-whatsyourangle and anyone else that wants to do this !!
