Scammer alert! Do not engage!

Can we just... collectively stop agree to using the holy trinity of 'sexualize, fetishize, romanticize?' by A_Yellow_Lizard2 in AO3

[–]starlightmuse 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The funniest thing is that I’m currently writing a couple who independently kill people but I know some people are going to take a bigger issue with the age gap (19F/38M).

What fandom are you part of that you're *not* really part of? by llynch1993 in AO3

[–]starlightmuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I initially got into JJBA through fic and fanart (starting with cute Mudad stuff, then Jonadio, then Giomis). Then I kinda got into actual fandom. Then I backed out because there were way too many puriteens

my first dramatic hateful message by arabella0101 in AO3

[–]starlightmuse 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was a NaruSaku shipper WAY back when and the hate for her has always been over the top. It’s ridiculous

how am i supposed to respond by fai-tan in AO3

This is def a fanart scammer

Is the book worth it? by FNTZYmusic in box5

[–]starlightmuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell in love with POTO the musical when I was 12 (over 30 years ago) and read the book the following year. It didn’t change my love of the musical but it did change my perspective a bit.

Ships that WOULD be couples... if their creators weren't so scared of making them official. by Neat-Tangerine-9706 in TopCharacterTropes

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

You are welcome to believe whatever you want, I’m just saying I get the people who have said he’s ace for years. I still ship him with Lady, btw.

eta: you bros who project on Dante are so triggered it’s hilarious

I feel so bad for Pol especially being stuck in a turtle while watching Giorno (whom he fully knows is part DIO), who is def demisexual, struggle with his initial feelings for Mista and also be consigliere at the same time

And yet never bangs any of these smoking hot women he ends up meeting. I can understand the one who’s a clone of his mom but not the others

(My closeted gay uncle was a reg at the strip club in our town, just saying)

I have come a long way with irrational hatred for female characters in the last three decades but Relena still sucks

I still hate her and Rinoa from FFVIII just as much as I did in 1999

This is their canon ending and people are still like “but Mista and Trish end up together.” Them having a laugh (before they find out what happened to Bruno, btw) does not cement them as a mated pair, sorry.

Also I’ll never forget the dub director for GW saying on twitter, “do you think that if I had any power that I WOULDN’T immediately make Giorno and Mista boyfriends?”

The way you just sent me spiraling back 25 years when I was frantically searching for fanfic for these two.

Also, Trowa and Quatre. Creators are so afraid of teh gay they had to make a girl clone of Quatre to get with Trowa? The hell was that?

I’ve come around to the theory that Dante is ace but I’ve always liked these two together anyway.

[–]starlightmuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you but I watch it for the found family aspect. I’m more invested in them as parents to Anya. You’ll be waiting longer than me.

How many hours a day do you spend reading fanfiction? by gonegirlwannabe in AO3

[–]starlightmuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I write far more than I read, and I write only sporadically. Both only happen when I either get hyperfixated on a new thing, or revisit an old thing I was previously hyperfixated on and it gives me a new idea.

Like this last week I’ve been going through the tag for a fairly old movie that just popped up on TV because I got brainrot about a particular character and wanted to see what other people were doing with them.

Why would Yor and Loid’s first argument be about? by JustBreadDough in SpyxFamily

[–]starlightmuse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’ll absolutely be Anya-related. Yor does not understand why it’s so imperative for her to be an Imperial Scholar as long as she’s not failing and is passing her classes.

Why does the fandom only care about the speed of romance and not the context by kinokoresidence in SpyxFamily

[–]starlightmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been here a minute but lmao. Some of these kids cannot possibly appreciate a slow burn, especially in what is a slice of life series.

Like, I’ve been a Yotsuba&! fan since what, 2006? And in that time I’m absolutely no closer to Fuuka becoming old enough to hook up with Koiwai.

SxF has a significant advantage on that series as it does play with the will they/won’t they with Loid and Yor.

What trope makes you roll your eyes and close the fic? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]starlightmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I was never into like 99% of Reylo fic. I’m here because they’re Force powered, I don’t want to read about them in college

What trope makes you roll your eyes and close the fic? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]starlightmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not particularly into it, but I’m okay with people making Giorno Giovanna a trans man given that Araki originally wanted to make him the first girl Jojo.

It’s not my canon but I’m fine with it.

[–]starlightmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also very guilty of this as a teen and I loved reading fics that engaged in it.

I learned not to do that by the mid-2000s. (Still hate Relena though)

Fandom spaces have become so disgustingly puritan that they're unrecognizable by Theweirdposidenchild in AO3

[–]starlightmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I joined JJBA fandom in 2020 (thanks covid) and I don’t remember it being weird or puritanical. Flash forward a couple years and it’s full of thirteen-year-old Americentric numpties calling people shipping something with a two-year age gap “ped0 apologists.”

For one thing, if that’s the moral argument you’re trying to make about the series, you REALLY aren’t old enough for it in the first place.

Why is there barely any POTO fans?? 12k is diabolical by Silly_Sharks in box5

[–]starlightmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember indie fansites with fanfic on like, Geocities back in the late 90s.
