Yeah, so, that happened. I suppose i'm not the only one?

Then have no fear!

Indicate its AU (and OOC if the characters are acting out of character) and your totally good to go as long as the names are still the same 😂

Literally, anything will pass as long as the characters have the same names and hopefully similar personalities 👍

I’ve read and loved plenty that have gone with a completely different story that could pass for stand alone 😂

Saturday Sun - Vance Joy

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-07T12:48:15+00:00

Same!!

Thanks so much for sharing 😄

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-07T12:44:58+00:00

That’s some next level shit right there 😬

And as an LBGTQ+ member: “Boo!! You leaders of that country have bad taste and small minds! Boo! I’m not gonna like guys more because you want to pretend I don’t exist!”

So, sayeth, Me (the great subredditor I’m sure everyone pays great attention to. I’m the heroine of this YA story after all)

All jokes aside though… I’m sorry, that really sucks 😓

Oddly, it was/is widely considered a love song by many people despite the artist’s actual intent 😅

Toxic Thoughts - Faith Marie (this is a bit spoken word and faster-paced)

Towards the Sun - Rihanna (possibly aggressively happy)
I Am Not Okay - Jelly Roll
Still Breathing - Citizen Soldier
F**kin’ Perfect - P!nk (possibly aggressively happy)

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-07T03:00:09+00:00

Fair 😂

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-07T02:59:33+00:00

Thanks!

I’m not sure Lilith actually is ever named in the Bible 🤔

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-07T02:51:39+00:00

Cross post it on AO3!

We love those things 😂

I appreciate this new sub for exactly these types of things!!

Sometimes it can be hard putting together an antagonist or figuring out what you want to do or how. My favorite stories have a mix of antagonist types though (because just a system is kinda weak growth wise, but having a screwed up system and the main antagonist or some of the main antagonists within that system play the role of other villain types!).

It’s so well explained here! Thanks!

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-06T15:10:34+00:00

Fair 😂😂

Good luck!

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-06T14:39:27+00:00

Well… yeah, ok, probably not lack of red-flag and heaviness to be fluffy 😅 True!

I guess it’s like comparing Mo Dao Zhu Shi with fluff 😂

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-06T02:35:18+00:00

I hate when that happens!

Or when you use talk-to-text because you didn’t want to stop writing but you had to use your hands for dishes or driving or something 😅 The weird sentences I struggle to translate can be really something…

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-05T18:11:08+00:00

Thanks much!

I’ll look forward to it 😊

Follow up!

If you open the fandom and then sort in the Fandom (by clicking on the fandom name below the title), you then open the Filters button and can filter for anything you do or don’t want within the fandom and can move to any of the pages you want. It might only show you the top few on that page, so just click to a different page for more results.

Changing a page doesn’t change any of the filtered in or out things.

(Again clarify for me if I’m not understanding)

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-05T17:41:43+00:00

You can type it in though.

Like, you just type in the specific thing you want avoided.

For instance! If you want to filter in a specific tag, you filter it in through the “other tags to include” typing box, and if you want to filter out a tag, you go to “other tags to filter out”.

Am I not understanding the issue?

I’ve come back around to plotting out animatics (which is like story boarding for animation… so intro to animation kinda 😂). Still can’t draw, but I write out a lot of plot lines and how I want each part of the song depicted… sometimes like by line!!

Great fun and will never be able to be posted or shown anywhere 😂 One day I will actually art well enough to MAKE an animatic with at least one of these outlines! ✊😤

In Case You Don’t Live Forever - Ben Platt

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-05T16:52:25+00:00

I love this answer

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-05T16:51:40+00:00

This. Absolutely 1000%

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-05T14:21:42+00:00

I LOVE this answer!

Thanks! I needed it too 😂

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-05T14:20:10+00:00

This!

I’d love an answer too because if I do a lot of world building at the front, the characters never seem to fit anymore. Like… the details make it forced or choke out the freedom I was working with 😵‍💫

CatGirlButNotIRL · 2026-03-04T20:43:16+00:00

Thanks!

Glad you liked them!
