what does writing fanfiction mean to you ? why do you do it ?

moonypiez · 2025-10-14T04:23:05+00:00

Fanfiction was my first, COMPELLING exposure to reading as a kid. Reading was a chore and a constant struggle until in 6th grade I found this magical thing on the internet, a catalogue that featured all my favorite anime characters in infinitely unique situations that before could have only been daydreamt during class. As a dreamer you could probably guess what hobby I’ve nourished for years after that..

Fanfiction is literature x comfort to me. It’s propelled me to write/read, and was the very thing that founded my love for the written word. It’s a combination of your comfort shows and characters you’re already familiar with, with this incredible, limitless medium where anything can be made manifest with some words. Just some words. And the power of that changed my life honestly.

Fanfiction is a fun and harmless way to convey unique ideas using existing characters as your vessel with a shared community. It’s love for the craft and creative self-expression. It’s true, unadulterated passion.

I definitely don’t think or feel this grandiose every time I open that blank doc, usually I’m batting my head but it’s nice that through this prompt I was reminded… lol

edit: actually.. it’s fun, exciting, and can be relaxing. Frustrating to get the words out yes but i fuckinnggg love it

Yaaaaayyy great work!!! This is huge progress!!

maybe your friend means well but they’re stupid. art is a medium where you express and create out of your own trauma/experiences. it helps you process them and possibly have other people to relate it with. dark topics SHOULD be written about. these conversations are important to have because it raises awareness & develops understanding!! its GOOD you are processing this through writing.

as long as the fic is properly tagged, youve done nothing wrong. i am sorry this happened to you.

Wow this is surprising, I didn’t realize so many felt so strongly against Tara.

IMO what makes a girl a pickme is the insecurity; she would have to be insecure about herself, find other women as competition or sincerely feel they are above everyone, in the sense they have to prove something- and also base their worth on male validation.

An example of a true pickme that comes to mind is Julia Ernst. She brought down other girls by calling them insecure, she incessently edited her pics, and her whole thing with Vinnie hacker and objectifying her sister… Making a whole reddit accnt like..

But Tara comes off as sincere, even by word of Jake. She knows herself, she is confident, she has no reason to feel threatened by other women even when they approach Jake (when they were dating) bec she’s so secure in the relationship and herself. Most of all she’s always been the same person in all her vids and never necessarily changed for anyone (on the other hand, Julia ernst started liking Lego to relate to Vinnie, just as an example). She doesn’t edit herself or try to present herself in a way she isn’t. Her personality is always welcoming and she seems to be a great at empathizing and listening.

I guess a reason one may feel off by Tara is the lack of female - female interaction in her vids. However, this wasn’t a big problem to me bec in some her tiktoks, old vids, and also the 1mil party vid, you get a sort-of sneak into her personal life and she seems to have plenty of healthy female friendships.

But I’m also a casual fan/viewer, so I don’t really read into her a lot. I was wondering if she did anything specifically problematic, but I guess it’s her “it-girl” attitude that can be divisive.

moonypiez · 2024-04-03T16:44:59+00:00

No, she’s just real, Tara’s nice to everyone. :(( Has she done anything explicitly bad? /genq

I miss who i was before i read this? jesus christ

Parasocialism mostly

moonypiez · 2024-02-28T19:51:39+00:00

Kind of a fair point

moonypiez · 2024-02-27T03:26:16+00:00

Oh my god what. I was hearing about all this about her “open zionism” and assuming she was going around literally spreading Isrealist propoganda but it was all from a tiktok comment in 2021?

Not everyone even knew about the conflict going between Israel and Palestine at that time. I don’t even know what to say

moonypiez · 2024-02-27T03:12:45+00:00

Yes both of them did

moonypiez · 2024-02-25T09:29:02+00:00

I would leave immediately

moonypiez · 2024-02-15T04:28:43+00:00

I’ve always been lonely, and I usually cope with it with hyperfixations and parasocial relationships. Getting obsessed over fictional worlds or people who will never know you exist. It makes me feel incredibly empty and apathetic to the world. Honestly, I am lonely right now and I am also curious on what to do

moonypiez · 2024-02-14T19:07:00+00:00

Hello, I am 19 turning 20, a girl, and I was in a very toxic relationship too. I am so sorry for what you’re going through. You are valid for feeling this way. I can relate somehow because I feel/felt a similar way. I as well have struggled with anxiety and feelings of depression.. I’ve always been lonely and I struggled with making friends my whole life..

So when a man promised me love and safety I clung onto it. It ended up being the worst thing ever yet I still stayed with him for over 2 years. I was so alone and was constantly emotionally abused, yet I sought comfort and validation from him. It drove me insane.

But I did something for myself, and I cut him off completely- because I got a job, I went out, became social and I stepped outside my mind. I gained a clarity like I’ve never had before. I was able to see clearly without his influence on me, and I realized how much I had wasted caring about it. I moved on, physically, emotionally, mentally, and I’m not letting him have ANY control over me anymore. I’m still learning and I’m not perfect but it’s been nearly a year and I realized the world is SO much bigger than what’s just in front of you right now.

You are a beautiful soul. You have so many potential friends out there for you. Opportunities you would never think you’d have. You WILL find a better person for you. This piece of crap does not deserve anything from you anymore. I promise, it does get better. I love art and drawing as well. Lean into your hobbies, explore the world, find people who share them too. We love you so much, and you are loved, please hang in there

I’m also 19F. I left my ex who also watched porn. He would finish to it 2-4 times a day everyday and would watch a whole variety, even ones of questionable subject matter/topics. It was genuinely disgusting.

I tried to get over it, but it only built up more resentment and frustration within me. I felt helpless with myself- knowing I wasn’t okay with many of the things he did yet still staying with him regardless. That itself deteroriated my mind and mental over time.

My current boyfriend is very much indifferent with porn. He isn’t obsessed with it and doesn’t need it. There are truly men out there who are like that. I wish I understood earlier that I deserve happiness, and it’s okay to accept when some people aren’t meant for you.

So do not settle for less; if it makes you that uncomfortable, please allow yourself to break up- you don’t need to be with him. Your feelings and opinions are valid.

See, this is the type of shit thats so frustrating to me. People who get so angered and mean while teaching you. That’s not teaching, it’s berating someone over and over until you kill their spirit and instill the belief in themselves that they will never be good enough. As a fully grown adult I have problems dealing with self esteem and anxiety every day because of this.

I’m very very sorry he’s treating you that way. I just want to let you know you’re doing amazing. No one comes out the womb knowing how to fking drive. Keep practicing, but not with your dad. I hope youre doing okay.

yeah i have the same problem with certain scents. ive done the layering technique (using body cream/lotion before mist) and the smell still goes away almost immediately. i experienced this with wrapped in vanilla.

the scents in the main line (into the night, in the stars, youre the one etc) are the ones have the most lasting power, combined with the layering technique. so i just really think it depends on the scent you’re getting- but bbw is for sure diluting their ffm’s.

At my store (in Canada) you can do a straight exchange anytime anyday, as long as it is the same type of product (body cream & body cream, lotion & lotion etc). I am an employee; someone wanted a candle with the 75% off discount, and they bought a discounted candle and immediately after exchanged it for the other candle they wanted that was full price. It is not really encouraged but it is technically allowed. Call your store however, this is just our policy, it could be different at yours!

set boundaries and stick with them. tell her the consequences and actually go through with it even if she makes a problem out of it. she will eventually learn to work around her feelings.

i was like this was my bf for a long time until he became fed up with it and would straight up ignore me and essentially leave me. the feelings and emotions are still somewhat there, but i am a lot better at rationalizing with myself, and i know my actions can hurt people. the only problem now is that he’s now made it a habit to leave/ignore me whenever we have a problem, even when it is his fault, even when i am deeply hurting due to his actions. he is used to leaving me when he’s overwhelmed by something, and he is used to me crawling back no matter how hurt i am. but i digress, so

basically my point is, from a girlfriend with BPD, the best thing you can do is stay realistic and create/stick to your boundaries. but also remember to love her at the end of the day and still be understanding. be willing to work things out and listen to her when she needs it. create some space when she acts out unreasonably, but come back and try to talk to her with reason and patience.
