it’s annoying to me as a Fanfic Elder that y’all don’t understand how consent works in regards to reading fanfic
last night I saw a fic that had EIGHT of my favorite tags included and a great summary BUT it also contained a tag for a topic that bothers me. I weighed the pros/cons and decided NOT to read the fic because the ONE tag I disliked was something that could trigger a panic attack if the scene went into any sort of detail - it wasn’t worth risking the eight good tags.
from the first moment I noticed the fic to the moment I decided not to read it, the entire experience was MY RESPONSIBILITY. the author tagged the fic correctly, I knew what my limits were, and I respected them.
if you find a fic with tags you don’t like, JUST DON’T READ IT
don’t harass the author, don’t post a big whiny rant about it on Tumblr, just keep scrolling
I feel like it would also be worth bringing back the term, “squick,” as a non-judgmental way to describe something that’s just not your taste in fiction. It’s not a trigger, just something that you really don’t want to read about. Even if that’s just because you find it really icky, it is still perfectly legitimate to choose not to read any story because it has tags that squick you for literally whatever reason.
fyi for those in Phoenix Arizona: stay away from Target because the Phoenix Police still won't arrest this dude despite it being illegal to declare intention of violence like this 🙃
HEY GUYS/GALS/THEY'S I literally hate being the person asking people to reblog something and I scroll past posts that do, but I have been crying tonight about this, because I remember the Pulse shooting where LGBTQIA people lost their lives and the idea of another attack like that terrifies me, so please, because Phoenix has over 1 million people, just reblog? sorry.
When you get this, you have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ♡
Uuuu... My humour I'll say lmao

Couple of my finished art / writing works that I can always revisit and it never gets old
Whenever he sees you looking quite down, he knows you're not feeling your best, but he still wants to make sure, so he gently hugs you from behind, nuzzling your hair to see any signs of sadness in your scent. So you're sad? He silently peeks to your face, his blue eyes gleam in question. *Why are you sad?* His warm hands rub on your arms and his lips gently brush on your temple, leaving a kiss before he whispers in your ear that it makes his heart sink to see you like this. He asks you if you'd like to hear funny stories about him killing Titans and adventures he has had with his squad mates. He wraps a blanket around you both and holds you securely, cradling you and calmly narrating you his stories. You laugh to his funny shenanigans with Nanaba, Gelgar and even Hange and Levi, and he attacks you with kisses on your cheeks and neck, being happy that you cheered up.
You comforting him
You rarely find him crying, but the times he tears up for his fallen comrades are not that rare. There are days he's even gloomier about it than others. The threat of the Titans scars the Survey Corps every day that passes but he wants to fight and remain strong. And there are moments that he breaks, whenever he's in private. You check in his room through a crevice of the door, and you find his massive height curled up on the bed. He hugs his knees and silently weeps. He turns when he hears the door creaking. You excuse yourself as you enter. He doesn't say a word, he just keeps on looking in the void. You sit at the edge of the bed. If you try to say any words to console him, he won't say a thing, but he will definitely appreciate it. You look in his face, his eyelashes shine with tear droplets. His gaze is raised to you, eyes appearing larger than usually. He's glad you're there with him. Your hand wipes his tears and caresses his cheek. He holds your hand against his face. You feel his head resting on your leg. Your fingers run through his soft, golden locks. This relaxes him and actually puts him to sleep. He needs rest after a tough day, and he also needs you by his side.

~read under the cut~
You two are staying at home that night. The weather is bad and it's still winter. "Bo~ring." Eren mutters, as he grabs a beer from the fridge and melts on the sofa, opening the tv. "Ads... Come on at least put on a soccer match..." He disappointed opens his beer can and has a sip from it. You get slightly disheartened looking at him like this, and you can't help but shake your head.
You are making some snacks for you and him in the kitchen, just opposite from the living room and the sofa. Your new shirt is couple sizes small for you, and two buttons on your chest get ripped off with some movements you make. You scoff and end up unbuttoning it. At first you don't really think about it, but then, an idea comes to your head. You smirk to it. You always remember how much Eren likes freedom. And this inspires you for something that will add some fun to that plain evening of yours.
You bring the snacks on the coffee table and sit very provocatively next to him, with your arms spread so that your chest threatens to be revealed. You quickly glance at Eren a bit, to see if he notices you. He does and pretends he doesn't. Eren loves your chest. Especially if you flaunt it in such a frisky way. He wraps an arm around you and his index tried to remove the fabric from your breast. You stand up, pretending you have some stuff to do and leave the room. You return with no shirt on, and pretend you're doing chores. Eren stares at your naked torso. The one he likes to hold and control when he's making love to you. He looks at the familiar shapes and starts feeling his groin burn between his legs. It's still just a light tingle, but it gradually grows inside his pants.
That makes you slyly laugh inside in your mind. Of course you'd take it a step further. You intentionally spill some water on your pants, so that you'll also remove them. You remain with only your underwear. Everything else on you is bare. Your chest, your belly, your thighs... Eren's bulge is raging inside his clothes. There is something in watching you doing everyday things naked, wandering around the house, acting like you normally would with clothes. Your body's freedom immediately speaks to him, lighting him on fire for you. He's so on edge he doesn't even realise it, until you point it out on him, the way he is half raised on the sofa with total interest in his eyes that pin you constantly.
That makes him look away annoyed, bothered with his extreme weakness for that. Which has you going a step further and throwing your underwear away, exposing your privates he definitely lusts for every time he goes down on you. That had him on his knees. Your image wandering around like this, like you were one of the first humans to exist drives him insane.
He stands up and gently lays his strong hands on your shoulders, then down your arms and chest, then your waist and hips, and your thighs... But he stops and looks at your eyes, trying to conceal his hunger to touch you. He asks for your permission. He'd always do so. He protects you from everyone, even himself.
You nod and smile, throwing yourself in his arms, letting him sink his fingers in the skin of your back and nuzzling on your neck. He whispers in your ear. You chuckle to his desire.
He sits on the sofa, guiding you on his legs, running his hands on you, kneading and brushing various sensitive spots on you, which make your arousal spread like a fever inside of you. He kisses you. Warmly, passionately. His lips eat yours like they are the most delicious sweet in the world. His hands hold your hips firmly. He takes his cock out of his loose shorts. It's hard like steel and some gleaming strings of pre already drip down his tip. His hands travel on your erect nipples and roll them with his thumbs, to get that euphoric grimace he always loves on your face. His eyes fall on your genitals, smirking at your obvious heat. He extends his hand and gives you a few good strokes there, before whispering in your ear that he is about to enter you, while rubbing his wet tip on your hole. A nod of yours and he immediately thrusts inside, making you shudder and whimper loudly.
He fucks you mercilessly. He bucks his hips fiercely under you, letting you know how much you were torturing him before, letting his eyes savour you but not his body, feeling your everything. His hands touching you, feeling all of your curves and edges in them, his ears listening to your beautiful voice reacting to the sensations he causes to you, extinguishing the pleasant burning sensation of his cock on you, inside of you.
At first he tries to be quiet, but the more he thrusts, the more he feels the ecstasy building up in him, and he can't hold his grunts in his throat anymore. He groans in your ear, with intense passion, as the couch creaks with his thrusts.
In the end, his head falls back, as he comes inside you with a loud sigh. You two stay like that, panting for a while. You lay on Eren's chest, burying your face in it, smelling his calming scent. His palm travels on your hair and ruffles them, as he smiles with much relief.
"Guess we take a shower... Can't stand the sweat..." He says while still petting your hair and back. You agree. After this very pleasing ride you had, you definitely needed some relaxation with your beloved, and maybe a movie after...
You catch Jean feeling very gloomy, maybe even bailing his eyes out in the bedroom with the door closed. He doesn't really like that his precious spouse witnesses that. He usually acts so cool around you so that you feel that everything is fine and that he's tough and always your supporting arm to grab, but in reality he's a sensitive guy who also needs your support. He always tries to spend difficult days alone to not show his sadness, but you always catch him. His more of an open book than he wants to admit.
And truth is be doesn't mind you actually being around him when he needs you. He loves your hands rubbing his back with a consoling movement. He loves your fingers running in his hair and your knuckles on his cheeks.
He will curl in your lap, head on your legs and arms around your hips. He'll sit there silently for a while, maybe sniffling a bit, soaking your clothes with tears. Stroke his hair more. It'll calm him down. He'll lean against your belly and kiss it as a thank you.
Ask him if he wants you to snuggle in the bed together. He'll nod and grab your hand. Lie opposite of him and hold his face. Let him touch your hair. It's his soft spot. Looking at your face while moving your hair back so that he can see you better makes him smile faintly. With slow and lazy movements, he rests his head on your shoulder and shifts in there, embracing your waist.
He'll kiss and nuzzle your neck, muttering that he loves you and that he wish he was better for you, and various other slightly dramatic but sweet words until he falls asleep in your arms.
You can bring him a snack when he wakes up and a kiss on the forehead. He'll smile and blush if you make him his favourite omelette. He'll grab your waist and kiss your cheek, telling you that you are the best spouse he could ever ask for.

Onyankopon
He always prays before sleep. He likes to sit on the bed, hugging his legs or just crossing them, depending on how he's feeling. He likes when you join the bed and you come close to him, listening to him or even praying with him. He wraps his arms around you and kisses your face a lot after the prayers, and then tucks you under the covers, snuggles you and talks with you until you both fall asleep. He holds your hand while sleeping.
Floch
He's too serious, even before bed. He sits at his office and sometimes he falls asleep there. You have to poke him and make him come to bed. And you always have to remind him to brush his teeth. Sometimes he's too tense and might come off as angry, but at the end he gently wraps an arm around you and shares his warmth with you. You pet his thick hair until you can hear snoring. He likes it even if he doesn't vocally express it.
Zeke
He always reads before bed. Or maybe for the whole night. If you happen to also sleep late you have noticed that. Sometimes you also read with him, leaning on him, or you lay down and let him run his cool hands through your hair. Sometimes you make him hold your hand too. The times he has fallen asleep with his glasses on are countless, and you take them off, help him lie down, cover him well and kiss his forehead.
Jean
Jean just wants to cuddle you. It's the moment he waits for all day, especially when he had a tiring day training or attending diplomatic meetings. All he wants is to feel your body against him, his hands to feel your face and torso, to whine about everything annoying that happened, to kiss your neck and lips, and just enjoy the simple things without complicated night routines. If you comfort him and pamper him a lot he's in heaven.
Connie
He'd try to solve riddles or read funny stories so that he'd make himself sleepy, but he made the mistake to have a lot of caffeine before. He lays on his back and stares at the ceiling, having too many philosophical questions coming to the surface of his head. Sometimes he mutters them out loud, and you put a hand on his chest, telling him to be quiet. Sometimes you give him a massage in the scalp to make him fall asleep finally or Jean will make fun of his sleepiness the next day.
Annie
She doesn't talk much, so there were days you asked her how her day was and she just said *good*. She also isn't too heated about physical contact but she does want it actually. She likes to tangle your legs with hers, it makes her feel rested after tough training. She also likes hands on her nape or sides. She may smile with relief if you rub her sore muscles. Sometimes she nuzzles your neck and hugs you closer.
Porco
He usually returns to the bedroom from the kitchen with a snack. Don't smirk at him because he blushes. Of course he shares with you if you ask. He also likes to listen to radio stories while snacking. You lean on his shoulder and steal a bit of his snack while he's too absorbed with the crime series he's listening to. Eventually, he falls asleep to relaxing jazz the late night program has and you have to take the empty snack containers or plate away from him.
Yelena
She likes herbal tea before bed. Ideally something very hot and relaxing. You also get to see her in her cute underwear with linen details, contrasting her usual black suit. She also likes listening to late night radio programs, especially if it contains interesting people's interviews. She smiles, listening about weird celebrities or deviants. She's the one to wrap a long arm around you and bring you to her chest, sighing with euphoria about the moment.
Mike
He literally lies down and falls asleep like a wood. Not because he's cold to you and doesn't want to spend time with you, but because he's very tired. He appreciates when you rub circles on his back or chest, or nuzzle his hair while he's sleeping. If he's not sleeping that deeply, he wraps a tired arm around you and locks you in his embrace, sniffing your neck a bit to catch the smell vibes. He also made sure to smell nice himself, having showered right before, because he knows better than anyone that smell speaks by itself.
Floch x reader: watching shows with him on a rainy evening.
Rating: PG | Gn!reader | warnings: none | modern au
Read under the cut:
You return home from a tiring day at work, or you were staying in and were bored, the weather is not so good to go out and have a drink or dinner, so you decided to curl in your couch with a blanket and watch cheaply made soap operas and realities.
Floch reluctantly comes out of his hole as well, noticing what you're doing and really wanting to join, but it still looks stupid to him. He doesn't want to show that he'd like to watch so insignificant little shows, and yet he also craves to get under the warmth you have created inside the blanket, and wrap his arms around you. He wouldn't admit that he likes entertainment of poor quality, and especially he wouldn't want to reveal that he can get pretty touchy and gently around you.
Whenever he looks at you all comfortable and curled up, he almost can't help himself, he wants to rub your cheeks together and let his hands wander on the shapes your body creates.
You hear his feet on the floor as he approaches the sofa, and then he clears his throat. "What are you doing?..."
You reply to him with a smile while still looking at the screen, and you ask him if you want him to join. He shrugs and grimaces, and sits on the sofa next to you with crossed legs.
At first he's very stiff. Sometimes he shows scenes on the screen and comments on things that catch his attention. He ends up doing it even more as time passes, and he sometimes chuckles sarcastically at stupid love scenes or drama and calls it *baroque*.
You need to make the first move if you want to get him to snuggle you. At first, you maybe reach for his hand and tickle it with your index. Or maybe try to wrap the blanket around him. He wouldn't reciprocate but he wouldn't pull away either. He likes it in fact.
As time passes, he softly but slightly stiffly starts cuddling you, letting your legs tangle and making you rest on his chest. You can feel his heartbeat like this. Rubbing his chest will send goosebumps in his stomach, and you'll feel the trembling. His own hands rest on your back, occasionally rubbing it and your hair.
He actually gets fixated with your hair. He strokes them and plays with locks in his fingers. His lips gently brush on your head and he nuzzles it.
He wants to touch you intimately a lot. He cups your cheeks and your nape, runs his palms on your torso and reaches your legs as he gets even more comfortable with showing vulnerability and affection.
He doesn't want the peaceful evening to end. The shows are addicting as they keep him fixated on something and extinguish his boredom, buy most importantly, he can't get enough of your closeness and wishes he could get more times in the day to relax like this.

Read under the cut
Erwin
You think a person as important as him wouldn't already take his measures against the temptations you'd give him in a speech or a meeting amongst superiors? Of course he wears chastity gear, restricting his member to become erect and moist as you give him those lustful gazes, or when you rub your foot on his calf, or maybe even when your gentle and teasing hand reaches his upper thigh, threatening to touch his groin. Beads of sweat form on his forehead, and he tries not to get angry at you for trying to tempt him while he's on his duty, because he loves you and he wants to be gentle, but you need to understand his position as well. He gently takes your hand away, very discreetly, and squeezes it as a signal for you to stop. And even if you aren't there, and it's just his mind that is taking over, trying to seduce him, making him think of what he loves on you, your private moments together... He's always trying to shake it off and focus on his work, but it's very sure that when he reaches home, he's willing to take you then and there, right after he returns, in his uniform, provided you also want that.
Eren
Eren is the type of guy that will pretend he doesn't take it if you try to attempt to turn him on while he's occupied and in public. He'll definitely ignore you. But a bulge will form inside his pants. And he will cross his legs, trying to do the well known trick of pretending he's searching his pockets, strapping his cock to the side of his underwear. Then, he turns to you, smirking playfully, like he's telling you that your tricks don't work on him. Of course if he has time to spare, he'll go to a bathroom to relieve his erection, or even drag you with him to fuck you quickly, because after all it's your fault he got all restless. He could even fuck you were you are, if you weren't in plain view. But he sure likes the thrill of public fuckery, so it's a sweet deal to him.
Zeke
He's the kind that will smirk back at you when you flaunt yourself in a seductive way. He will maybe sneak a hand to touch you where he wants, or even hold your hand and bring it to his groin, to let you know he's already hard with your games. But. If the situation is not appropriate, he will cut it out right away, without even trying to become menacing. He's intimidating even when it's just his index finger stands in front of you as a warning. He won't accept you fooling around with him when he's trying to work. Your distractions are just a sabotage to his plans and he would never allow anyone to get in between them. Though, he can go even farther when you provoke him too much. Sometimes he might have a bullet vibrator or butt plug inside you, and he'd adjust it as he wants if you get on his nerves. Good luck resisting to keep calm and not moan, as he mercilessly and abruptly changes the settings.
Floch
Oh, boy, seducing Floch publicly... It doesn't take long until he is hot with desire for you. Of course, his selfish nature won't allow him to express it in the cutest or most timid way. He will grin menacingly, not caring where you are and with whom. But this doesn't mean that he'd try to ruin his reputation like this. Which means that he'd grab your hand and drag you someplace else, that you'd be alone or with people he trusts and don't mind letting them watch. He most likely will try to touch you inappropriately, and if you act like you didn't want it he'll snap at you, saying that you started it all through his teeth inside your ear. His *soldier* is standing at attention, poking you if he comes too close, grinding against you. He whispers that he feels free doing what he likes, and with that he'd suck the skin on your neck fiercely, leaving several hickeys on you, and he'd also bite you without a warning and leave teeth marks, while wildly humping your leg or crotch and holding you glued against him. *Bad* move to attempt luring him. But most importantly stupid of you to think that he wouldn't get what caught his attention, even if you thought you were just teasing him.
Porco
This man will probably try to make you stop, because he gets embarrassed. He'd never allow himself to look like he's losing his cool when he's exposed to eyes other than yours and his. He may seem tough, but he's actually very vulnerable, and if you pull certain strings, you have him in your palm. He blushes even on his ears when he notices that your lewd tricks work on him, and he curses under his breath. Most likely he will refuse to let you be near him when he's flustered in public, but in some cases when he can't take the arousal, he'll shove you in some private space like a bathroom or an empty room for a quick masturbation or humping, accompanied by affectionate kisses and nuzzling. He may not show it often but he can be very sweet if he wants to.
Onyankopon
He will sure smirk at you, if you act playful around him, for example on a date. This definitely brings heat in his chest and his pants, when you click his right buttons, but he won't allow you to be exposed to other people. Not only because he's low-key jealous, but mostly because he believes you are too precious for sloppy, and maybe uncomfortable and embarrassing acts. Instead, when he notices that you get in the mood for more intimate moments, he will make sure you get the best of comfort and privacy. He will get you in the car, preferably when it's dark outside, and you can see the starts from the window, he will take you back home, in your bedroom, or even book a hotel room. Then, all the arousal from before can be finally extinguished, as you both feel safe and can express yourselves freely.
Pg rating. Warnings: Floch part is kinda neglecting (because he's bossy and bitchy and I love him for that)
I'll make more parts if you like it!

Mikasa
When Mikasa loves someone, she puts a lot of care in everything she does for them. She wraps blankets on you when it's cold, she tells you to remove some layers when too hot, and she makes sure you are feeling alright every time, sometimes she's a little annoying with that, but you always forgive her for that. When it comes to dinner, she makes sure to keep in mind your favourite tastes and always makes a hearty meal after a tiring day. Her cooking is always delicious. Her salt and spices are on point, and she always serves it nice and warm. Sometimes she sits besides you and smiles looking at you eating with appetite, maybe humming at the tasty food and complimenting her. This always makes her heart flutter. There are times she is insecure of what she made and asks you if it is alright, and is relieved when you reassure her it's great as always.
Levi
Levi is the kind of person to be efficient with food and knowledgeable about nutrients and calories, exactly what he needs to stay in shape and have energy for his military duties and battles. And as much as he cares for his physical well-being, he also cares for yours. He maybe keeps his serious poker face every time he cooks and serves food, but he has put all the care inside it. He sometimes notices that you aren't all happy about eating these healthy stuff, and he always reminds you that it's good for you. He will sit down to dine with you, occasionally, and will throw discreet glances to notice if you like his cooking after all. Whenever you eat eagerly his lips curl into a small smirk for a brief moment, but makes sure you don't see it, maybe by hiding it under his napkin.
Floch
Floch is the kind of person that has more time for his plans and strategies rather than making food for himself or his partner. He won't rest until everything is settled, and then he maybe has time to eat. He sure though of himself first, and then remembers he has someone to take care of as well. Yes, he isn't as nice at first, but as soon as he gets used to you he maybe starts liking to share. His recipes are not complicated. He cooks easy foods like plain pasta or cheese sandwiches so that he can barely fill your stomachs. He will tell you that that's the food and if you don't like it he doesn't mind to have it with his usual slightly offensive smirk. If you tell him thanks, he will widen his eyes at you for a second, and then nod, returning to his plate and wiping his mouth, saying it was nothing.
The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist
a lot of people are misunderstanding this post. minors arent taking away your spaces. the internet is not being made safer for children, it is being sanitised for advertisers.
But now, if you type “Barbie.com” you’re taken immediately to Mattel’s online shop, surrounded by nothing but “shop now” links and toy collections.
Disney channel’s website is now “Disneynow.com” which still has games and shows appropriate for kids, but is aimed towards a younger audience as it combines Disney Jr and Disney Channel properties, and the look of the entire site is very juvenile and not very appealing to kids in the tween and young teen demographics.
Nick.com has been similarly streamlined and is focused primarily on streaming its shows, and the only games still left are 10 apps that can’t be played on browser.
Kid-friendly sites like icarly.com, Poptropica, Club Penguin, Neopets, Webkinz etc used to be insanely relevant and popular spaces built for kids and tweens.
Now, kids are being funneled into less moderated, more exploitative, and more public spaces like Roblox (its dangerous and exploitative nature exposed in these videos from People Make Games: (x) (x)), Fortnite (known for its gambling and microtransaction issues), and social media sites like TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter.
My elementary aged cousins spend their time on Roblox, YouTube, and some less than reputable game sites that are full of ads and stolen/reposted/reskinned games. My sister was on Musically/Tiktok and Twitter in middle school. They don’t have the same options for having fun online that I did when I was a kid, especially not when they get too old for nickjr and disneynow.
The internet has been condensed into about 5 popular sites that are full of ads, and it’s not fair to anyone.
Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol
Ships ≠ real life problems that need to be addressed and fought. Even when it comes to underage or various *immoral* examples. Fictional worlds work different than ours, and on top of that, everything about them are literally fake, fantasy, in our heads. But what is real is different and shouldn't be dumped with the fiction. You are more than allowed to dislike things that you find ugly, but let people enjoy their content, and for god's sake don't threaten anyone about it. This is the internet, you cannot know for real what anyone supports or is, so just skip things and go on with your day.
generally I think people on here just wildly overestimate fandom's general pull on the world. I see so many posts that claim fandom has ruined society's general ability to understand media and guys, this is a niche hobby. the vast majority of people, even the majority of online youth, have never read a fanfiction. you only think fanfiction is that influential if you're constantly on The Fandom Website.
Plus, if a fic is weird... This doesn't mean every fic is weird. If a fandom has weird people in, you try to ignore them. Enjoy your media, folks. Try to be less influenced and bothered by fandom stuff if it isn't your thing :)
