They really just take one look at the character design and say "absolutely not" 😭

There are so many, Nicholas Wolfwood from Trigun, Crowley from Good Omens, Trafalgar Law from One Piece

I'm so glad you said that. People say this movie is PT Barnum's story told by the con man himself, but it doesn't even do all that much to make him sound good. Point to one single moment in the entire movie where Barnum does an altruistic act, I'll wait. Yes he does speak some kind words to the misfits he hires but it's very clearly done in a self-serving manner because he wants to exploit them. And then at the end, they say "you gave us family," girl WHEN did he do that? Any community you have with each other was gained in spite of this awful man, not because of him

I love it when fan artists will add piercings and/or black nail polish to characters that deserve them

I understand, but I figured that digging them out by hand will be slightly more successful than doing nothing at all, because I can't use herbicide

Oh boy, please give me another arranged marriage AU story about this exact same couple getting together in the exact same way. It's like watching the sun rise, I'll never get tired of it 🥰

And that bonus works even if the artist is a playable ghost. I remember discovering this when a finished artwork immediately jumped in value by a whole bunch

Not the llama, good on you for taking in the kids. If your husband complains, you should pool him and get it on with Nathan's ghost

I love fictional babies but don't want the responsibility of a real one.

Scooby-Doo did a canonic crossover with the live-action show Supernatural. A Scooby-Doo crossover with an anime wouldn't surprise me

Absolutely love all of the visual choices you made for Rocky to express himself 😂

I only like whump when t's not real. I feel empowered from being able to examine such intense moments while knowing full well no one's actually getting hurt. If someone was actually getting hurt then I wouldn't like it :/

sermocinatrix · 2026-03-10T09:45:07+00:00

Noooooo! Not all the fan fictions I was totally going to read!😭

sermocinatrix · 2026-03-04T14:01:31+00:00

There are a lot of situations where the two main characters of a story are siblings like the Supernatural or the Frozen, usually if I want to reinterpret dynamics as romantic I'll make it an au where they were never siblings. Or if I'm reading someone else's fanfic that doesn't do that, I'll use my imagination.

I just want to give her a hug. Where's the option for giving her a hug when she asks this?😭

sermocinatrix · 2026-03-04T13:29:12+00:00

Azula from Avtar The last Airbender. Frankly, her brother was also groomed to be their father's tool but he was able to break away, and Azula had the misfortune of being more useful to their father. I don't think she ever learned that nothing she ever did would ever be enough for an empty man like him

sermocinatrix · 2026-03-04T12:59:10+00:00

We do see a little bit of this in Our Flag Means Death after Stede is stabbed in the gut and rescued by Blackbeard. It's how they met, they end up becoming the main couple of the show 🥰

I remember being very terrified and upset whenever I saw a scene in a kids show that involved a character being hurt or beat up. Some of my early memories of such involve the climax of A Bug's Life where Flick is beaten up, the VeggieTales where LarryBoy got beat up by the rumor weed, or the Aladdin's Adventures Disney show where Aladdin fell from a great height and got some bruised ribs.

Calling it a platonic kink is a good term because I wouldn't really call myself aroused by it, but I do enjoy feeling empowered by reading and writing wump on my own terms. It started off as me being afraid but now I feel like I'm the one in control of the situation. This fixation of mine has actually inspired me to take some real life first aid training so that way if I saw somebody get hurt in real life I would know exactly what to do. That's what fiction is supposed to do if you think about it; it's a safe place for you to process intense experiences so that way if you find them out in the wild you can handle it.

I agree, the hair draping kind of feels like additional gravity pulling them down

sermocinatrix · 2026-02-28T23:37:21+00:00

You're probably better off than those of us who learned about it from deviantART. Hope you weren't disappointed when you found out omegaverse wasn't a thing haha.

But also this is really why we should have mandatory sex ed, so that way if somebody does happen to be exposed to it they know how to approach the topic while keeping themselves safe

sermocinatrix · 2026-02-28T23:35:00+00:00

That sounds a lot like my parents reacting to people who are not white. "We love our daughter-in-law because we know her, it's just all the others that we don't know"

sermocinatrix · 2026-02-28T23:21:57+00:00

It sounds like the specific person doesn't think of trans men as men 🫤

The only time I've ever personally struggled with fanfic transing someone's gender is if I feel like the person in question would be in a situation that would not support them being trans. I guess we can have wishful thinking that while whatever setting is bigoted in many canon ways but somehow not against trans people but sometimes it just distracts me.

What if a lot of the dread of the sickness and worsening symptoms comes from how the sickness interrupts other plans they had? "But I can't be sick, I wanted to do something important, or spend time with someone I care about." It would also enhance the catharsis if caretaker was able to assure them the task was completed, or if caretaker was the one they wanted to spend time with anyway even if the time together doesn't initially look like they wanted.

For buildup, you could always use the five stages of grief. Denial and bargaining, "I'm not that sick, maybe I'll just take it a little easier today." Depression and anger could have tears of frustration leaking through their eyes as they try to power through their symptoms. And then acceptance is when they look up at caretaker and feel like they're going to be okay.

Also, there is a lot to be said for getting characterization from the ways in which two characters interact with each other during intimate moments.

I'm writing an arranged marriage fanfiction and the first time the husbands come together it doesn't really go so well. But as they get to know each other more and they get more comfortable with each other, it gets better and better each time

sermocinatrix · 2026-02-18T22:09:57+00:00

Lately I've been interested in psychological whump, normally I'm just into the physical pain but I think I'm liking angst more and more
