If I’m here I’m probably not doing what I’m supposed to be doing. Old. They/them. 99.9% a shipping blog with a dash of things I think are interesting or pretty.
That moment when you forget your boyfriend is an Elf and is not used to too much physical contact…
Or, In which their relationship was hella awkward in the beggining
Oh Roy… for a man who grew up around elves you sure like making them feel all awkward by touching them too much. Good thing Ed got used to it pretty quickly and started doing more stuff like “Man” hugs
Al and Trisha loved that new addition, they love hugs!

Reposting this because it's dumb. You can say fanfiction has no reach culturally, sure. But were you ever on FIMfiction when you were younger? That site is just filled with debauchery that nearly ruined me as a kid. It can and will normalize things for individuals and in communities. All media has its effects on people and to nullify that because fanfiction is a "weird little niche" comes off as pretty ignorant.
You sought out and read fanfiction that you were interested in.
That's still not "normalizing" anything on a cultural level, even if reading fanfiction that you were interested in (that you later felt weird about) affected you personally.
First off, thank you for proving you didn't bother to read what I said! I never said it affected the culture, that was not my point at all. I was using it as an example of how it was normalized on the site and subsequently the fandom. Also, "seeking out fanfiction you were interested in"? Understatement of the fucking CENTURY. I should not have been exposed to that as a child, and there's no way you can prove that *I* was somehow the only kid with a "weird" hobby. This is how grooming happens, you know?
Ok but the idea of normalization stems not from how it can impact ONE person, but MORE THAN ONE.
Just because you found a fic that was weird once did not make you think the worst of things is actually not bad--proof of THAT much is in you arguing about the possibility when the reality is:
No. No it did NOT normalize something taboo in your mind.
And let's walk this further shall we?
It DIDN'T normalize the taboo for you, ergo.
Why the hell ARE you even arguing against what's being said?
"BUT IT COULD HAVE--" a 'COULD of' is not DID.
What happened to you is not the fault of a fan based run archive of a kids show that--primarily--had the attention of adults too. Does it suck you got exposed to works that featured shocking or obscene material that young? Yeah it does.
But nobody tells Harry it's okay to go crusading for censorship just cause he snuck into an R rated movie in the 80s.
In fact if nothing else, his parents would be alerted and the onnus of reprimand falls to them.
Sooooooooooo is that your problem here? Nobody (parental authority) came around to comfort you about it? So now ALL fanfic is vile?
Yeah fanfic can affect it's audience.
But the audience for said fanfics of that nature? ARE NOT MEANT FOR CHILDREN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Your problem stems less from fanfic and more from neglect. I get that it's a damn shame but THAT is the fault of your parents.
Not you, who should have been ushered to the Gen rating for fics ONLY.
Not the fanfic writers, they had a story to tell and share with other ADULTS.
But your parents yes are to blame. And if you want one more target? Try advertisers. For the constant scrub down of Adult Only Internet Spaces and turning what used to be GREAT places for kids into ad space.
So we can blame the parents (if there are two of them) who may not have the time to monitor everything their child does online, but not the adults who chose to post NSFW fanfic in a fandom for a media literally for CHILDREN?
Yes because adults are allowed to post things for other adults.
It's not my problem or my fault if someone doesn't monitor their kid and they look at my adult fanfiction, any more than it's my problem or my fault if some kid picks up a adult DVD in the store.
Since online spaces are basically just a public mall that happens to be on a screen you keep in your house, let's re-word that statement accordingly real quick :)
"So we can blame the parents (if there are two of them) who may not have the time to monitor everything their child does at the mall, but not the adults who chose to sell parody porn at the Adult Store the child wandered into for a media literally for CHILDREN?"
This is what you sound like right now. Yes, when a child is in a public space, it is on their parents or guardians to monitor what they're doing. That is literally what parenting is. This is not rocket science.

Yes! Demi and gray-A are both under the ace spectrum! What isn’t ace is if you regularly feel sexual attraction to complete strangers you have no emotional investment in at all.
I'm Chinese, so I wonder if non-Chinese understand
that in the Chinese version of Disney’s Mulan, the fake name she gives is “Ping”, but her family name “Fa” in English is “Hua” in Chinese, therefore her full name is “Hua Ping”, which is literally “Flower Vase”, and that’s why Shang is so bewildered because it’s a silly name.

Okay, not to get, like, TOO sappy, but there’s something special about having a fic that I just started dashing off for fun reach so many people. Fanfic is for fun!!!!! Haters can go cry in a corner and have NO FUN AT ALL!!!!!! We’re going to be over here laughing our asses off about these idiots and their endless hilarious pathetic failures to communicate their feelings!!!!
THE WORLD’S WORST (@DW)
When Roy’s phone makes the chime that he chose for text messages, he glances at it without expectations. FedEx’s automated system has a habit of texting him at bizarre intervals some evenings, and if it is a real person, it’s most likely to be an illustrated Elicia Hat Update from Maes.
Her collectible accessory of choice is hats right now. Roy is delighted for her. He would be much more delighted if he didn’t know so much about every single hat that has ever been set upon her angelic little teenaged head and made her even cuter somehow, which her daddy didn’t even think was possible, but apparently the universe is full of wonders, and her cuteness tops the list, and she coordinates them with her braces, and etcetera and so on.
I went back looking for my post about the first part of the final Splenda fic, and I couldn’t find one. Which could be due to Characteristics of This Webbed Site, but I suspect it might be because I never made one.
Anyway. Splenda’s complete now, three and a bit years later, because of a lovely FTH bidder. And you can go read it with your eyeballs whenever you want. I hope you enjoy it. ♥
ED, 28 (PART II) (@DW)
Ed’s car is still parked on the far side of Roy’s extremely expansive driveway, right where he left it. Roy had tried to convince him to put it in the gigantic airplane hangar of a garage before they went to the party last night, and Ed had asked him what he thought the odds were of someone in this neighborhood doing anything more damaging to his car than screaming in horror as they passed by, and Roy had said “Well, I’ll steal it if no one else will. I don’t want it to feel left out.”
In retrospect, it is increasingly obvious that they were painfully obsessed with each other this entire time. Winry is going to have a goddamn field day if she lets Ed live.
