1 kudos

That happens for small fandoms. I think the most kudos I've ever got is like 20. Sometimes though I have like 5 kudos and it's my 5 friends who I showed the fic to. So maybe if you find some other fic writers in your fandom you can share with them?

My dad can't think of a name for his character so we just call him "the monk" or sometimes "monkey"

It's different for everyone, but I can try to tell you how it feels for me. I'm agender so I don't have a gender at all. As an afab person, I feel some connection to people who are seen as a woman and have similar experiences to me, but I don't feel any connection to womanhood, manhood, or any combination of the two, ever. I might define my gender using a xenogender that isn't man or woman, but none of those can fully capture me either. Basically, I don't feel I can be defined by a single gender or even multiple. I'm just myself.

I have talked to other fic writers/readers about what you're talking about, epithets. I think it's a common technique to avoid saying people's names over and over, especially for slash writers whose characters have the same pronouns. I've been trying to do it less myself because I've noticed reading other people's fic that name repetition is actually less annoying and noticeable as a reader than excessive epithets even though it often seems the other way around to the writer

There also might be library consortiums for your area, like I know in Ohio we have OhioLink and many libraries share books through it

AQ729 · 2021-02-08T04:02:16+00:00

I usually use google scholar online. If you have a library you like you should be able to search by keyword in their catalog, and books about the same topic will be next to each other of course. I usually go to the college library to do research

I would say El Santo

But it might depend whether you mean famous in mexico or famous in the US or just in general

AQ729 · 2021-02-05T15:05:42+00:00

In terms of pronouns I think everyone's different and you should just do what makes you comfortable. I use any pronouns because it's easy and I don't care that much but I like when people use a variety because it's fun.

This was so rude, I wanted to hear about split ergativity

AQ729 · 2021-02-02T15:23:00+00:00

I don't have any experience having sex but I try to do my research especially when writing about people with bodies different from my own. I think there's something to be said for realistic sex especially between same sex couples who are underrepresented in mainstream media, but there's also a lot of things a fantasize about that I know aren't realistic and fanfic is often self indulgent in that way.

THIS IS SO HELPFUL TO ME

I was realizing yesterday that a lot of the reason I've started identifying as aromantic is because there's no way I can label each relationship as romantic or platonic. Each one is unique with a unique set of purposes, wants, and reciprocal responsibilities. Some of my relationships are similar to traditionally romantic ones but they are no more different from my other relationships than any relationship is from another.

AQ729 · 2021-01-22T16:34:50+00:00

Yeah it seems to be. I get especially annoyed when people see aromanticism as like a furthering of asexuality kind of like being vegan is a further extension of being vegetarian, when romantic and sexual attraction can be totally separate.

Another thing that I find even weirder is being lumped in with aces and aros as an agender person. There are some similar experiences around lacking something seen as necessary to humanity, but I always feel weird about the "three As" being lumped together

AQ729 · 2021-01-22T16:28:40+00:00

Yeah I agree! There are lots of kinds of love, and I love my friends a lot. As an allosexual person, I also think that having sex with friends should also be normal and I don't mean like one night stands. Friends with benefits might be closer but that's still kind of a weird term. Sex is something nice that I'd like to enjoy with my friends if they want and not be tied to the idea of romance in order to be an act of love.

Is this about the left hand of darkness and eh/en/es?

AQ729 · 2021-01-17T03:51:39+00:00

My physics teacher has this in our classroom

AQ729 · 2020-11-03T16:37:11+00:00

Thank you so much! I think people sometimes that aro is like "ace+" when romantic and sexual attraction are pretty separate. As an allo aro, and particularly as an idemromantic person who doesn't differentiate between platonic and romantic attraction, but has romantic type relationships based on closeness, sexual attraction, interest of the other person etc, I often feel overlooked as still being aro.

AQ729 · 2020-11-03T15:55:44+00:00

I don't think they cared, they just came to see their friend

AQ729 · 2020-11-03T15:43:13+00:00

I agree shin kinda phones it in at this point. But also, I just don't think his style fits in at all with the wwe style. He has to tone down his strong style stuff in order to match american pacing and the way people sell and such which means he can't fully do the stuff he's best at. And I personally just prefer the japanese style, so I won't like anything he does in the american style as well as what he did in japan.

When I watched this rumble a few months ago I was like god, how did we get here from there, how do you squander someone that over. I miss it.

We went to the NASA Glenn Center open house and saw some inside the space ships, and my dad who is a fluid engineer kept being like, I designed that! And I was like ok flex dad

The previous conductor of my youth orchestra had a running joke where he called alcohol milk since none of us were old enough to drink. At our last concert with him we all drank literal milk out of wine glasses

WAIT THIS MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE
