most tragic thing about wanting to see more stuff of your oc is that the c is o and YOU have to make the stuff. devastating. why canât art of my beautiful baby just appear in my hands. just materialize under my pillow, like from the tooth fairy
I may have said this before but I hope you all know I'm proship.
Pro-shipping. Anti censorship, of all kinds, especially in fiction. Like. I do not know how badly I wish to emphasise this. I don't care if you think a fic is 'gross' or 'morally bad' or whatever. It's fiction. Censorship is a slippery slope.
If you have 'proship dni' in your bio and you follow me, I would like to kindly ask you to consider why you have it there. Is it because you actually dislike what proship meant originally (pro/for-shipping), or because you dislike the stereotype that's been curated by anti-shippers?
This isn't an 'attack' on anyone, just to be clear. I'm not saying this with malice. I'm mainly saying it so people aren't surprised when I start to get comfortable voicing my freakier/more nsfw thoughts and they're... Well, not censored.
Anyway yeah I'm off to draft and stare at hot men âïž
Thinking about single parent!reader and ghost accidentally bonding with your two kids...
He knows of you vaguely as the apartment two doors down from his that's always toeing the line of some sort of noise complaint. two small kids, four and five respectively. Cute things he sometimes passes in the stairwell since the elevator broke.
"Ewwww!!! What is that!!"
Like now, for example. Arms full of grocery bags, ghost turns the corner to the next flight and finds the wee ones crouched in a corner pointing at something. You sit a few steps up, bags next to you and seemingly taking a breather from the multiple flights.
"Morning, Mr riley." You smile, exhausted. Ghost nods back, then curiously glances over the kid's shoulders when they beging loudly pondering.
"It's an alien!!" Your little girl says, poking at it. "Alienâ"
"That's a proper millipede, innit." Ghost grunts above them. He knees down between the two, and lets the long insect crawl onto his hand, holding it up for your kids. "S' the flat face? An' the multiple legs on each segment? Millipede."
You daughter gasps in amazement at the same time your son asks "does it bite?"
"Only kids who don't do their chores." Ghost snorts, then holds it out and gently strokes a single finger along its back "you can pet it."
Which is how your tiny ones end up asking ghost what seems lile a hundred questions about millipedes, then centipedes, and bugs in general.
He answers each one, and after some time sets the bug back down and says "I'll show you more bugs if you help carry groceries in, yeah?"
While your kids grab one bag each, ghost insists on carrying the rest in addition to his own, has the audacity to glare at you when you reach for some.
That night, your kids beg to go to the library to pick out books about bugs, wanting to impress their new friend mr simon.
Of all the people they could like...they chose the weird silent scary guy....at least they're learning stuff, you suppose.
lost track of an ask talking about merfolk!dispatch but never stopped thinking about Prism and Flambae as beta fish đ đ đ đ

i love fics that feel so... grown. fics about adults that were written by adults who have years of life experience under their belts who pour that into their writing. fics where you can tell this is a person who has lived through a marriage or a divorce or a child or children or parent death or any number of Huge Life Events because the way they write with an emphasis on the highs and lows of the human experience rather than an emphasis on tropes (not throwing shade) is just so. oh man, it's just so fucking good. if my blorbos are grown men, grown women, grown people, i love it when they feel like grown people, not just extensions of the (young) author's imagination. (still not throwing shade). you know?
The way you get more fics like this, by the way, is by encouraging younger and beginning writers. Everyone starts somewhere, and if you want the beautiful, lived-in, wealth of experience that comes with age authors, they generally need to first be the eager, silly, excited just to be here, more enthusiastic than skilled authors, and then they need to not get driven away from fandom by people being jerks to them or by the weariness of putting out effort and not getting anything back. So yes, appreciate the older authors who bring their experience to the table of the fic buffet, but don't neglect the budding authors who are just starting to grow. That's like wanting the fruit from the tree without watering the sapling.

Warnings: Uh. Profanity. And. Kissing. Guys. There's proper fucking kissing in this one! Some talk of amputation

Haarâchak â damn it!
Narâsheb â shove it up your ass
âYouâre such an ass.â I cursed against his lips, nearly sobbing from the sudden lightness of reality, the euphoria of finally being free from that crippling, constant guilt, and whatever retort he tried to hum in response was lost as I dragged myself even closer, desperate for another kiss, another taste of him, another promise that this was real; that he was still mine.
Crosshair's breath caught with a subtle laugh, but there was a tension in it; a hesitation ruining the sarcastic façade that normally came so easily to him. Still, he kissed me back all the same, hand slowly dragging through my hair to cradle the back of my head, his every movement so painfully careful; delicate. Despite his care, my cheek throbbed, my nose ached, and my head was pounding. But, Maker, I couldnât bring myself to care.
âYou⊠You let me thinkâŠâ I couldnât say it, couldnât stand to think about how certain Iâd been that Iâd lost him; lost all of them, my voice breaking with a grief I was still trying to let go of.
đđđ
Here lies Jenny Gump.
Killed twice!
First, cut through with the certain and specific actions of Crosshair: admitting wrong doing and confessing his deepest, most personal insecurities. In the sexiest way possible, of course.
The second, and more final of the twin deaths was courtesy of Echo causing full and irreversible cardiac arrest: transforming under duress from a sullen, timid, nervous shell of a man who knows he done fucked up, into a a confident, hungry, dangerous fucking ARC who knows exactly what he wants and respectfully says he wonât stop if he starts kissing her again.
Holy. FUCK.
Internal combustion has commenced. I am melting like the fucking Wicked Witch. I AM UNWELL. Actually, not just unwell @staycalmandhugaclone - I am literally deceased. 5-10 business days required for recovery.
In all seriousness, huge shoutout for your incredible prose on this chapter. This line, in particular got me all in my feels:
The emotional depth, the giddiness, the intense relief, the willingness to cast off the guilt⊠just⊠đ« .
And Echo in this chapterâŠ. đ„”đ„”đ„”. I literally cannot stress this enough - HOLY SHIT. Screaming into a pillow over here.
Iâm going to need sedation when if Doc has one of these heart-to-hearts with Hunter. Fuuuuuuuuck.
You are truly making dreams come true over here - with maximum angst and suspense. Brilliant, as always. â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž Canât wait for the next chapter!
I'm ashamed to say I definitely allowed more than the requested 5-10 business days for recovery đ
I honestly rewrote this a few times because it felt too aggressive, and then it felt too passive... which just wouldn't do. I may be a bit obsessed with letting Echo showcase that he is, in fact, a badass.
My heart keeps doing a little flutter at your compliment for the prose. I never really thought of the more flowery bits as prose, but, fuck, you right đ« đ„°
And... I have something planned for Hunter. All Imma say is that it's not likely to be, uh, flowery
I can post this now I think! Iâve been recovering from a dumb stress injury in my neck and my Patrons have been so kind and patient while I rested up. ;v; Iâve also been encouraged to try animating! Iâm inexperienced in that skill, so I made a little gif.
đđ€ Happy Bathiversary, my lovely Vegebuls!
getting mad at ao3 for being against censorship and allowing all kinds of dark and fucked up fics to be on their platform is like getting mad at a library for not banning books
Words to Describe Hair

This began as a guide to describing Afro / curly hair but of course, I got carried away. From look and texture of hair, colors and various styles, this guide serves as a thesaurus of sorts for hair, as well as pointers for use in your writing.

Culturally Significant Hair Coverings:
Know the meaning behind head wear and why itâs worn, when and by whom, such as a Native Nationâs headdress, before bestowing a character with it.

Afro - Curly - Straightened
There are many varieties of braids, twists & Afro hair styles; have some more!
African/Black Hair: Natural, Braids and Locks
African Hair: Braiding Styles 10 African Types
Describing Black (Afro) hair:
Appropriative Hairstyles: Keep in mind that Afro styles should be kept to those in the African Diaspora, such as dreadlocks, cornrows + certain and many braided styles.Â
Also, âlocsâ is a more favored term over âdreadlocksâ for many people.
Tread carefully describing Afro hair as âwildâ âunkemptâ âuntamedâ or any words implying itâs unclean or requires controlling.
âNappyâ and âwoolyâ are generally words to stay away from, the first having heavy negative connotations for many and the latter, though used in the Holy Bible, is generally not acceptable anymore and comes off as dehumanizing due to Animal connotations.
There are mixed feelings on calling Black hair âkinky.â Iâm personally not opposed to the word in itself and usage depends on the personâs race (Iâm more comfortable with a Black person using it vs. a Non-Black person) as well as their tone and context (if itâs used in a neutral or positive tone vs. negatively/with disdain). Get feedback on your usage, or simply forgo it.
See our tags âBlack Hairâ and âNatural Hairâ for more discussion on describing Black hair.
Texture - Look - Styles
Hair Colors and Style
Writing Tips & Things to Keep in Mind:
Combination Words: Try combining words to illustrate look of hair. A character with springy coils that dance across her shoulders with every movement, the man with thick silvery hair slicked back into a ponytailâŠ
Mind Perspective: Depending on POV, a character might not know exactly what cornrows or a coiffure style is, at least in name, and it might make more sense if they described the hairdo instead. More defining terms might come from a more knowing source or the wearer themselves. One book I read described a girlâs afro puff as âthick hair pulled up into a cute, curly, poufy thing on top of her head and tied with a yellow ribbon.â
POC & Hair Colors: People of Colorâs hair comes in all shades and textures. There are Black people with naturally blond and loosely-textured to straight hair, East Asian people with red hair, and so on. Keep that in mind when coding characters if you tend to rely on hair color alone to denote a character is white vs. a Person of Color.
Related Tropes: There are tropes and discussion related to People of Color, colored hair, and light-colored hair and features.Â

Some Bagginshield sketch- (Had the song "He's my man" playing while making it.)
fandom etiquette as a whole died when people who didnât grow up on fandoms became stans during lockdown, yes, but why am i seeing people openly mocking fics on twitter. why am i seeing screenshots of fics with captions like âbro what is this đ.â why am i seeing people mock fic writers for not knowing how sports or theater or college or any other organization operates in the real world.
âcollege is absolutely nothing like thisâ âwhy are we writing four people on the team scoring a hat trick in one gameâ âso tech work is nothing like this, hope that helps!â
if you donât like a fic, and if you canât suspend your belief enough to enjoy a fic that exaggerates or ignores real-world orgs, you donât have to read it. you donât have to screenshot it and put it on blast for twitter. you donât have to post a link to it in the replies. the back button is literally there on your phone. itâs not giving babyâs first fandom anymore, itâs giving entitled asshole and it isnât as cute as you think it is.

Mycroft, Baby
Characters: Mycroft Holmes x reader
Summary: Mycroftâs first foray in to gift giving for a significant other requires a little assistance.
Word Count: 1399 words
A/N: I know, I know, it's February... but have some Mycroft Christmas fluff.
Mycroft Holmes had faced international crises with less trepidation than he felt standing in front of the glass display case at Fortnum & Mason.
He stared at a watch. Then another watch. Then a third watch, which differed in ways he could classify with ease, and yet, all distinctions felt irrelevant
You were not a problem to be solved, he reminded himself. You were a person.
Someone who had, against all probability, slipped past his defenses: through late-night takeout shared at opposite ends of his sofa, through dry remarks over tea, through the easy silence of simply coexisting. And now it was Christmas. His first Christmas with you.
Mycroft adjusted his scarf, turning away from the watches, already aware that he was undeniably out of his depth.
He required assistance.
Anthea did not look up from her tablet when he entered his office, though she was perfectly aware of his presence. She rarely missed anything.
The room was quiet, cloaked in soft winter light filtering through the skylight. Every object in the space, leather-bound volumes, antique maps, gleaming brass instruments, sat in deliberate order, an environment curated for control. And yet, on his desk, a single unopened Christmas card disrupted the symmetry.
âYouâre pacing,â she said mildly. âWhich suggests either geopolitical collapse or a personal matter.â
âChristmas,â Mycroft said.
That earned him her full attention. It wasnât often he gave weight to something so ordinary.
âI see,â Anthea replied. âAnd?â
âAnd I require advice.â
Antheaâs lips twitched. âFor whom?â
âFor⊠someone special,â he admitted reluctantly, the words tasting foreign and oddly weighty.
She smiled then, genuinely. âThat narrows it down.â
