I’ve read basically no fanfic in over a year. So. Not me. And I wont read Reylo but I might eventually read some other Star Ward pairings…

Okay but in that over a year time you made and then brought a tiny person into the world. Way more impressive than fanfic imo. 

In terms of Star Wars fic, unless it’s short, I dunno how much I’m going play with other ships. I do have that Cinderella FinnPoe one I still actually want to do, and the Finnreylo fic that’s coming out in December (which probably isn’t up your alley tbh) but other than that I’m actually having a lot of trouble coming up with conflicts and stories for various ships. I have some vague ideas in my notebook but having the motivation to make them happen is another story. 

But still, I won’t have an issue with you not reading them at all if that’s what you choose.

Even tho I have never read a Star Wars fic, ever, I plan on reading your Reylo one when it’s finished!

*nervous face* I am both thrilled and anxious about this. I definitely hope you like it when I finish it. 

@unforth-ninawaters

I’m not really into marvel but I kinda figured it’d be the kind of crap they’d churn out. Antis are pretty much all the same no matter what ship, some are just more violent and willing to threaten and/or do illegal crap than others. Their arguments are tired and so am I.

I’ve been trying to avoid it but honestly it gets sooo hard. I’m not sure what your wife read but recently we had a bout of tag spamming that also included a big fat dollop of racism. It’s like there’s always something in this fandom and I’m just tired of it. I’m not saying this ship is perfect or anything but it sure as shit isn’t so evil it’s worth accusing people of very serious crap over. It’s apparently too difficult to just be like “I dont like this ship for X reasons” without taking it to extremes. How anyone falls for this crap I will never understand.

So yeah, it was mostly me venting/mocking antis.

Sorry it took me a bit to answer this, I was at the store. 

T – Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
Snoke is a lying liar who lies and that mental connection Rey and Ben have was there before he did anything to it. I just honestly can’t believe a word that comes out of that raisin man’s mouth. He manipulates the situation whenever it suits him best so why wouldn’t he try to twist it and make it seem like he was in control of everything the whole time? Bottom line, that bond between Rey and Ben was there waaay before either of them knew the other even existed. Rey and Ben are soulmates bound by the force. 
U – Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
Dean Winchester from Supernatural. I like Dean a lot. He loves deeply and fiercely and would carry the weight of the world on his shoulders alone if it meant no one else had to suffer. He’s a bit of an impulsive ass but he’s got a good heart. 
Diana Prince/Wonder Woman from DC. Diana is like, the exception to my rule about not liking perfect characters. I love her. I love that a lot of her strength comes from her compassion and that she chooses to stand up for others not because it’s a burden or obligation but because she wants to. She’s exactly what a super hero should be, in my opinion. 
Ben Solo/Kylo Ren from Star Wars. See below lol.
V – Which character do you relate to most?
Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. 
I look at Ben and I see myself. I see the person I was and the person I still am to some extent. I know what it’s like to feel like you have to be a certain way, even when there’s something inside of you that keeps pulling you in the other direction. I know what it’s like to live that conflict, to feel like there’s something wrong with you, and to hurt other people so they’ll get leave you alone and let the darkness swallow you. I know what it’s like to be hurt and let down by people everyone else thinks couldn’t possibly be a disappointment. I know what it’s like to have a voice whispering in your head that you’re not good enough, that you’re the screwed up one, to be unable to live up to the ideal of the person you think you need to be. I know that anger. I know that fear. I know that desperation. 

Thanks!

B, N, and O!

B – A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
Sastiel, actually. I hadn’t considered it until I started talking more to you because it was something I more brotp-ed but there’s a lot of potential there. I credit you with getting me to consider and ship it. 

N – Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
Sex worker positive fics where no one needs to be “saved” from their profession. 
Alternate canon where story threads that were dropped are really delved into. (Particularly with SPN) 
Creature fics. 

O – Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
Fistfight by The Ballroom Thieves is such a reylo song. Good god. 

The day I finally met you like I knew I would

You raised me from the wreck of my doubt

You were smiling to yourself as if we both understood

The silent language of the anguish of a heart that sings but doesn’t make a sound 
What did I do to deserve you? 
How did you find me? 
I was already halfway gone 
You were a bright light 
You were a fistfight, oh 

Like, damn I couldn’t’ve picked that better if I tried. 

Thanks!

@samanddeaninpanties replied to your post “.”

Apparently they have A LOT against terrible puns

It’s either that or the reylo

Well… the reylo isn’t super new. It’s been like.. 5 months? 5 months. It’s not a new development lol

Maybe they hate porgs. Which I don’t understand because porgs are adorable, stupid space penguins and I want 7 of them. #porglovenotwar

@ltleflrt replied to your post “It’s too freaking early and I can’t sleep thought: I’d love to be able…”

I’d be especially interested in non-SPN fandoms since a/b/o originated there. Although there’s probably some pretty big differences in the 2 big ships Wincest and Destiel, and even SPN RPF where the original J2 prompt came from. It’s fascinating to me, and I really hope some nerd out there does a study following its changes over the years and fandoms 😀

*snots* If I ever wind up pursuing grad school (and post-grad) I’ll probably wind up being that nerd. 

I will say, though, just from the fic I’ve read in SW there’s some pretty big differences. Like, common things in SPN fic like omegas hating their omega-ness, the eye color changing based on presentation, presentation happening at puberty, mentions of true mates, heck even just wolves being the animal that traits and mannerisms are based off of, are either not their or are totally different. And! If you look at Reylo specifically (because that’s what I’ve been doing lol) that ship has even undergone some really interesting changes from beginning to present. (The oldest A/B/O fics are alpha!Rey while a fair number now are omega!Rey. Older fics are more smutty one-shots, newer fics are still very smutty, but crave out new and different universes where this trope makes sense. There are more comments on the American healthcare system and reproductive rights, too.) 

Yeah, I could probably ramble on for too long about this lol. I just find it so interesting that this smutty little trope can and does have so much depth and focuses on so many different things just depending on who’s writing it and for which ship/fandom. If I had to pick a topic to research, it’d definitely be this one.

The only thing worse than being torn between two…

Ohhh, whatcha working on?

Star Wars AU fanfic!
One is a finnpoe modern Cinderella type thingy that I’ve got outlined, another is a dark reylo witch/demon fic I’ve been kicking around for a few weeks, and another is the reylo selkie au I took down but still kept and have been considering putting back up.
So yeah, good stuff I just don’t know what I want to spend my time one.

Uh oh, why’d you take the one down? Also I need all of this. (Can I read the selkie au? Like if you send it to me maybe? Obviously it’s totally cool if the answer is no :D).

I was having a bad mental health day and kind of… well the good news is that I didn’t do anything to hurt myself physically but I did delete that fic and a few things off tumblr. It wasn’t because I didn’t like the AU or anything, I just kind of got it in my head that I was wasting my time and I started to get paranoid. Like I said, bad mental health day. 

@samanddeaninpanties also wants me to put the AU back up and I think I probably will. It’s only the first chapter and the prologue, right now, but I’m obviously not over it so maybe it would be a good idea to stick it back up and see what happens. And maybe this time do a little self-promotion. 

But yeah, I can let you read it! If you want I can share the google doc link with you! I’m not sure if I want to put it back up today or this week but I wouldn’t mind if you read it 🙂 

And yeah, I need those other two things, too. Which is why I’m so torn, lol.
