I can create pinned posts… Which I like. Convenient for information!

Hi; this is my chronically online slash writing sideblog! I’m Jupes. • she/her • 25 • basically an au version of Fae

I write mainly fanfiction and am happy to make friends and share brainworms. Please be my friend. I love to talk and even more love to edit other people’s work. I am currently unadulteratedly obsessed with Fullmetal Alchemist, and if you follow me, you’re in my aoe range.

Longer about • dustbringer kal info post • ao3

I also try to write descriptions for fanart sometimes and/or funny posts with undescribed images. It's not always, but I try to do it when I’ve got the spoons. If you want something described, feel free to dm me and I'll get to it when I can! My descriptions are just under "described."

I tag spoilers by their acronym, and then a slash. eg wok spoilers /, wor spoilers /, etc (except for oathbringer which is just oathbringer spoilers /) I also tag spoilers that I post in tags, with the caveat "in tags" (ex. row spoilers in tags /) just so you know to tag everything you might not have read yet. This blog is done reading WAT and all spoilers from here on out will be tagged as “wat spoilers /” 09/05/2025

I prefer followers over this blog be 18+. I tag everything NSFW including “taboo” dynamics, but I understand this may still make people uncomfortable. I once got called the Famed Incest Poster by a friend, so you should probably know that to understand what I’m like.

What would drive your blorbo to willingly kill

They would never kill

Immense manipulation

Being threatened with their life or the life of their loved ones

If they’re caught doing something illegal and need to kill the witness

War

They’d do it for fun

Other

Never think short fics aren't worth making. Please.

I mainly read fics as a soft way to end my day before bed. It takes me an hour to get through 10k words. That's a commitment for me, I won't read anything above 7k unless I have nothing planned the next day. Even 6k I start skimming. Please write that 4k fic. 3k, 2k, 1k, hell even just 100 words. Please write it, I am reading it. I want to read it.

Maybe the average fic reader gets through 100k word fics in a day, but not me. I like it short and sweet and easily digestible before bed.

"But I can't write well-" It's 2am and I've just had the most miserable day. Trust me your typos and spacing is NOT an issue I genuinely could not care less. So many fics are very long and it's very hard for me to enjoy them before bed. But your 1k character introspection? That 200 words about them waking up and kissing in bed? A 3k word make out session? Do you know how much better you made the last few minutes of my day by posting that small oneshot? Now you do. Please write it. I beg of you, please

i love polyamory i love aromanticism i love QPRs i love communal child rearing let’s all get weirder forever

i feel like we kind of knew even before WaT that the contest of champions wouldn't end up being just a traditional duel, like there was always going to be some trick or secret or psychological game to it, not just two warriors beating the crap out of each other until one of them perishes. however i can't lie i kind of want to see the straightforward beating the crap out of each other until someone perishes version. having this 8000 year long war end with just brutal one on one violence is so simple of a plot that it kind of circles back around to being subversive. like yeah, rip each other's heads off, see how good you feel about winning after that.

he has big tiddy..

[yaoist]

i criticize fmab a lot but one thing that i do like is how kimblee is set up in relation to the world and the other characters, in ishval he’s clearly amoral and only in it for the blood, but nobody else is actually meaningfully doing anything different than what he is. even if they have a bunch of moral reasoning that they use to justify their actions, they’re still doing the same thing as the guy who openly enjoys mass murder.

and it’s interesting how much kimblee follows the law, he takes the path of least resistance to his goals (murder and fun), he’s just as willing to work within the army as outside of it and joins up with the establishment who tell him to kill people. he only does an illegal thing and kills a bunch of his superior officers once, when they try to take away his fun murdertime weapon - and even then the establishment bails him out and lets him live! the same one that all the other characters work for!

i mean at the end of the day can you really blame him for being cynical about others’ morals, 90% of the people preaching to him about them are doing the exact same thing he is. he functions as a bit of a mirror to how cruel and amoral everyone else is really behaving, because he’s someone people don’t sympathize with.

[yaoist]

i like how in fma(b) his main function is in part a metanarrative foil (as well as an antagonist) and to give philosophical ramblings that don’t sound preachy because he’s That kind of character. he does a lot to cast the morality of the other characters’ in a pointed light, whether it’s the fact that ed and al take theirs very seriously, the fact that roy is a hypocrite who’s done terrible things, or the corruption of the government itself. because it’s a shonen he does a lot of this by talking loudly about his philosophy but as i talked about above it’s his actions and how he’s treated that also drive the point home. his last narrative action is to say that he respects the elric brothers for holding onto their moral principles and then save ed’s life.

he’s an edgy “fuck society” character but he gets away with it because the series is set against nationalist war crimes that are covered up and justified so he ends up having some good points actually. the series needs someone to call people out on their bullshit and he’s the MAN for the JOB.

[yaoist]

he’s a terrible person but he’s not the joker, he doesn’t reject society, he uses it to get what he wants. he gets away with the things that he does - everything he does - because other people let him because it is convenient for them. generals give him the philosopher’s stone, a whole society goes to commit genocidal atrocities, he’s let out of prison by other people to do their bidding. he’s “monstrous” but every single step of the way he’s being backed up by a system that doesn’t care and finds him useful.

it’s an explicit answer to the “bad apple” argument because he is surrounded by people who are doing the same things and letting him do what he likes. bad apples don’t exist in a world without systems, they are given power and allowed to use it to do what they want.

[little-miss-rasputin-pageant]

One of my favorite shots in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is after the fake autopsy for Maria Ross when Major Armstrong is apologizing to Mustang because it was allegedly Ross, a soldier under his command that, that murdered Hughes and the camera shows the lower part of Armstrongs face and you think he’s crying but then it pans up and you see the utter rage in his eyes while looking at Mustang, the man that apparently burned one of Armstrong’s subordinates to death in an act of personal vengeance. It’s one of the few times you see Armstrong filled with such total hatred.

BITCH

[millionsknives]

oh edward elric bleeding out and nearly dying impaled by a massive steel beam shaving pieces off his soul and years off his life because he chose not to kill the objectively worst guy he's ever met but he's just like. ah. if this is the price i have to pay for mercy i'm glad to pay it. 16 years old, unshakeable belief in the value of a life, shortest fuse in the world, mad as hell at all times, heart of gold for all of humanity. no one is doing it like him

[millionsknives]

it had to be kimblee too. it's a necessary part of any hardline pacifist's story to come up against the worst guy ever and still choose principle. anyone less evil would have been worth risking his life for. kimblee wasn't worth it at all. still ed doesn't mind. a lesser story would have made this the turning point where ed learns that he should kill but nope, that's not who he is, this doesn't change anything, the value of a person does not change. he's gonna live with his decision. he knows kimblee's never gonna change he knows his mercy is wasted he knows everyone thinks he's stupid but it's the principle of the thing. and it's the outflow of the action. mercy won't save kimblee but it saved his 4 men. it's a beacon for miles. it saved winry. it can save scar. as soon as 1 person isn't worth it, none of us are because one is all and all is one.

Hey fic writers: if you're making a character trans, you don't have to go with something similar to their deadname! Edward doesn't have to be Edaline, Steve doesn't have to be Stephanie, Samuel doesn't have to be Samantha. Any of them can be Pat! Or Georgia! Or Alex! (etc)

Please.
