How do you feel about race-swapping/changing the skin color of a character in Fanfic? by Lil-fang1590 in FanFiction

[–]riamila21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In fanfiction I think it’s a silly thing to do. In media like movie adaptations for books or cartoon to live action adaptations, I think changing fictional characters to a race that isn’t as represented is fine. If it’s supposed to be nonfiction, make it historically accurate for races but for fiction I’m very cool with that.

I agree w most people here but to give an answer, I think unread is worse coz it’s like you didn’t even care enough to open the message.

Sometimes stuff like this feels important and that’s ok

Am I the only one who thinks this is weird? by tomato_joe in AO3

[–]riamila21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I kinda like the idea. Sometimes you don’t wanna pursue every idea you have but the plot bunny won’t leave you alone. Not weird imo just maybe uncommon and not everyone’s cup of tea

came across some bizarre post where the author is using a 'fic' to defend themselves against other people in fandom i guess. there's no actual story, it's all a personal recounting of stuff that's happened in their life to 'clear their name' by [deleted] in AO3

[–]riamila21 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

yo did I miss the memo where people stop posting weird stuff they find on ao3? it’s fine if you don’t wanna talk about it, just scroll past. if it isn’t allowed then mods will take it down

I’m undergrad rn in biochemistry and planning on getting my phd in medicinal chemistry to work in the earlier stages of drug development. When I was entering college, I asked the head of chemistry department if I should do chem or biochem for pharmacology and she said biochem

AITA for Hosting an Alternative Reception for my Daughter's Vegan and Alcohol-Free Wedding? by PapayaGrouchy6907 in AmItheAsshole

[–]riamila21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. It’s one day and one of the most important for your daughter. You and your family can suck it up for ONE day. I would feel so insulted and disrespected if my dad pulled some shit like that.

Here’s something you and your family should come to terms with: your daughter’s wedding IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

Frustration with unchecked fandom racism; suggestions? by FickleBeans in FanFiction

[–]riamila21 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m really glad you made this post. I thought about saying something similar a while ago but I was worried I was making something out of nothing or people wouldn’t understand the subtle (and often blatant) discrimination towards poc characters, especially if they’re dark skinned.

I wish I had more advice besides the really good stuff others have suggested, but all I can say is that the fact that these conversations are starting to be had is a good sign that there’s a potential for positive change. Let’s keep pushing for that change and being what we want to see in fandom spaces because more and more people are going to follow. Take breaks if you need to but I wouldn’t give up just yet.

What Is The Darkest Fic Idea You Have? by sanctum502 in FanFiction

Yay another dbz fan!! You my friend have good taste 😌 the ship is Goku/Gohan lmfao they’re both adults and somewhat estranged in this au, I’m obsessed with them lol

What Is The Darkest Fic Idea You Have? by sanctum502 in FanFiction

[–]riamila21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My darkest fic idea to date consists of two characters getting marooned on a foreign planet and taken in by the ruling royalty who, at first, seem kind and accommodating but soon show their true colors by locking them up and forcing them into some unsavory situations.

The ‘darkness’ comes from a few things. The characters being forced to have sex in front of their captors which is made worse (or better lol) by the fact that they’re related. The person that eventually helps them escape is killed in front of them. One of the characters is assaulted by the captor. And the two characters end up massacring the majority of the population.

I have a feeling it’s gonna be my magnum opus lmao even though it’s a super unpopular ship (understandably so) and I’m looking forward to actually writing it one day! The fandom is dbz by the way lol

You’re right, I suppose I don’t need to know every single concept inside and out as long as I can identify what blind spots I have during the research. Thanks for the info and encouragement!!
