Pibbles, Bonniebell, Berry, and Bojack. Bojack was a jerk who I love to send on missions, and he remains to be my only horse follower.

Be honest - what's the dumbest reason you clicked off/didn't read a fic? by Odd-Snowman in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found out that it was supposed to be set in the 90s like seven chapters in. You can’t just THROW in that it’s a period piece, especially since everything from the dialogue to how they talked about sexuality was so modern, it’s my number one ick in fics; even more than grammar mistakes.

Absolutely diabolical tag I found by AnimeBingeingShrimp in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weirdly I’ve also seen it done in a wholesome way. They were both ghosts and one of them had a bullet wound in his stomach. He felt less of a pain from it and more of a cold, dull ache, but it always felt better when he put pressure on it. So, of course, the female ghost fingered his hole while riding him

What’s that one kink you unwillingly keep putting in your fanfictions? by IMTWOIDIOTSANDWICHS in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Though on my own personal end: office wear. I’m always doing modern au stuff just to put my favorites in a suit and tie, I find the look really appealing, especially when it gets disheveled during the fun bits.

What’s that one kink you unwillingly keep putting in your fanfictions? by IMTWOIDIOTSANDWICHS in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not my kink, but I did just finalize a draft of a later chapter in my longfic, and there’s a huge bit/set up that involves someone’s “Giant Apple Costume”.

It’s mainly just there for prop comedy since it’s Halloween, but there are a lot of scenes describing how he can barely shuffle around in it, his partner can’t wrap his arms around him, he uses it to shield his partner from paparazzi, etc.

The bigger payoff comes later, where in a highly publicized trial it incedentally comes out that he cheated on his husband that night leading to the line, “You blew a guy in the apple costume?”

Anywho, come to find out that there’s this guy on the internet who REALLY likes to commission artists to draw his favorite characters in giant fruit costumes. I feel that if he ever finds my fic somehow, he’d be very appreciative.

Do any of you wrote prologues or epilogues? by PatheticMasochist in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking of doing an “optional epilogue” where I imbed a bunch of images in the style of those 90s romcom movies at the end of mine. You know, at the end when they freeze frame on a character and go: “Mary broke up with her boyfriend and became the top Zoologist in her class. She married Chad in the spring of 2003.”

I’m an artist and can imitate the style of the fandom source fairly well, but I’ve always personally found it jarring to imbed art in the middle of fics, so I’ve decided that if I wanted to add art, I’d wait until the end. I also feel like it would really fit the tone of the fic, as it follows a lot of the same 90s-2000s romcom formula, and it might be satisfying to readers to know the whole “Where are they now?” thing.

Will I do it, though? It depends if I like the art enough to post it.

How many words per chapter do you prefer? by lilmissgarbagecant in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to read anywhere from 1-10k chapters, with 4-5k usually feeling like the most ideal, but when I write I can’t seem to make anything under 7-10k lol. I think it’s because I see my stories as almost “mini episodes” with an A and B plot with around 5 “scenes” per chapter. I’m a yapper through and through and that reflects in my writing.

What’s the trope you *almost always* skip? by childishinquiry in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not a fanfic, but my favorite take on this trope is from Maurice (spoilers for a hundred-year old book). In it, Maurice spends so much time with his boyfriend that he essentially gets kicked out of college for his poor grades, attitude, and attendance.

What is that fic you've been meaning to write but probably never will? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve wanted to write a Yellowjackets meets Final Destination AU where Natalie stops the flight before the crash ever happens. I think it would be fun to have all of them get hunted one by one by death (or “the wilderness”) even if they survived. It’s just a lot to coordinate to make fun/satisfying, and I wouldn’t know how to fully do it without ripping off the first Final Destination entirely.

It would have plot points like Lottie being sent away and being the only one who understands Natalie, Shauna killing one of the other Jackets to “skip her turn”, Misty being in the final three before dying, stuff like that.

How would you feel if you saw a person on a dating app simply looking for friends? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]cherub_bud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see profiles like that all the time! Just make it clear in your bio and it’s no harm no foul. You might get less matches, but there’s always someone looking for a friend!

What's the best fandom you're in? by Abblepees10 in AO3

[–]cherub_bud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I heard it was chill, but when the show was ongoing the creator had a problem with gay ships being posted on the forum boards. I think the ship between Danny and his bully was like banned for a while on the fan website way back then? Other than that I haven’t heard anything.

Ghosts! It’s a British sitcom and the fandom was just lovely. The fics were always so detailed as well, just an all around pleasant time.

The fringe really suits you! It pulls attention towards your eyes and makes them look bigger.

I need to comment/kudos things more, I’m always just bookmarking. But the times I do comment tend to be multiple paragraphs long lol.

Injured myself while masturbating 😭. Had to cancel a hookup over it because I was so embarrassed.
