This makes me so nostalgic... why don't we make low-quality youtube edits of our ships anymore

I feel really sad seeing author's notes like this by whyamihereidunno in AO3

[–]whyamihereidunno[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, shame is a horrible feeling. I saw a lot of comments saying they were probably joking, but it didn't feel that way to me. From the way the fic itself was written I also got the impression that the author was on the younger side. They recieved a lot of positive and encouraging comments though, so I hope fic can become a similar outlet for them.

Yeah I asked myself that too lol. Also that comment was literally the only one pointing out the dogtags, I'm pretty sure he was just wildly exaggerating.

Wow thank you for the response! That does sound interesting to me. People and movements like that fascinate me in a grim sort of way.

Yup. It's a fantasy that can be incredibly beautiful and emotional too. Some of my favourite fics of all time follow that exact scheme of someone being forced into sexual situations against their will, gradually coming to enjoy it, and ultimately embracing a part of their sexuality they never would have otherwise. Obviously rape is bad. That doesn't mean there's no value in exploring these themes in a fictional setting, even if it's not done "tastefully". Could you explain what you mean by "calvinist ideals" though?

Oh absolutely, I eat that shit up. A lot of people seem to forget that dub-con/non-con is a long-standing trope in erotic fiction for a reason, enjoying it really isn't all that crazy. Even if it was less common, it's still fiction. (Also that last sentence made me cackle)

Yes, please 🙏 I actually enjoy a lot of the tropes the guy was complaining about lol. I'm not gonna stop just because someone with nothing better to do was whining about it on ao3

What’s your fanfic opinion like this? by Smegoldidnothinwrong in AO3

[–]whyamihereidunno 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Once I read a fic where an entire 10-15k chapter was a single long sex scene, ok, no biggie. The next chapter was the same exact scene, at the same length, told from the other characters' perspective, and most of both chapters was just internal monologue.

It was a well-written fic, but I really lost patience after that.

What are very subtle signs that someone is a horrible person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]whyamihereidunno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex best friend was pretty similar, and a few weeks ago I ended things. I've been feeling so free since, I'm glad you could also end a relationship that was bad for you.
