"i can do this (bottom) all day"

Aerion's egg hatches a pudgy little dragon. He calls it NightStar because she's a dark indigo colour with scales that shine silvery golden in the moonlight. Nightstar thinks Dunk is her father. Aerion wants to kill Dunk. He cannot. Because that would make Nightstar sad, obviously. Not him though... he doesn't love Dunk. Not at all.

In his pride, Aerion had ultimately set in motion, a disaster so large, that generations of his house– the same house he so wished to protect– would suffer the consequences for years into the future.

His father had it in him to be the greatest King since Aegon the Dragon. And with Maekar by his side, they would've been unstoppable. Surely, his parents would've been the ones to return the dragons to House Targaryen.

And now, in a fit of arrogance and anger, he'd ruined their chances. He'd failed his family.

Um, no. Aerion would suck his dragon's cock. You don't know him like I do.

I'm gonna be so real with some of y'all.

FANFICTION IS A LABOUR OF LOVE. IT CANNOT BE COMMODIFIED OR TREATED LIKE FAST FASHION EVERY TIME THERE'S A SHIP THAT GOES VIRAL ON TIKTOK!

These comments were just some of the ones I saw on posts about a popular ship from #AKOTSK and they're disgusting. You all sound entitled and just plain rude. Whether it's in jest or not, demanding that authors "get to writing" for your pleasure is totally inappropriate and shows how lazy and entitled some of y'all "fans" are. And the reason why I believe MOST of the ppl demanding more fics aren't actually true fans, is bc authors of fandoms KNOW that:

If you want to read a fic but there's none that suits your fancy, then YOU WRITE IT YOURSELF.

Demanding an author writes/updates fics to meet your needs goes against every facet of fandom etiquette. They are fans of these shows/stories/games and most of the time are writing for FREE, & for themselves!

And just to add to the shein-ification of fanfic, THIS is why we are gatekeeping. Ao3 becoming mainstream leads to:

Entitlement from outsiders who just want to get a fic fix

The constant pressure to update fics (bc there are some authors who will unfortunately bend under the pressure and try to please everybody); which will result in poorly written/edited fics

People using AI to write fics to fill the gaps when they go through fic withdrawals and/or can't bully authors into updating their fics

And eventually, the breakdown of fanfic culture, fandom etiquette and Ao3 itself.

HEIGHT DIFFERENCE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE

HEIGHT DIFFERENCE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE !!!

After Aerion (flirts) is rude to him and leaves, his horse bucks and accidentally kicks one of the handlers. Dunk then comes in and calms her and leads her to the stables.

Then the Kingsguards enter; "The pretty ones are always temperamental."

To which Dunk says, "Nah, she just got a bit excited that's all."

And they reply, "He meant the princeling, not the palfrey."

MAYBE WRITE IT YOURSELF?...

MAYBE WRITE THE FICS THAT YOU WANT TO READ SINCE NO ONE'S WRITING IT?..

MAYBE BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD AND WRITE IT YOURSELF? STOP EXPECTING OTHER PEOPLE TO WRITE IT FOR YOU...????

Also saw another tiktok that said "i have a feeling that it's general audiences shipping dunk/aerion" and I'm like... 😮‍💨

First of all, i've read GoT, ASOIAF etc etc, since like 2016. I've been a fan of the books since! And followed the show up until now as well as the cons with GRRM himself. I assure you puritans, it's not just GA that are shipping Dunk and Aerion.

Also, can we not do this? Like can we not fkn do that shit and just let people ship whoever they want to? Istfg it's you fandom fkn Puritans who ruin fandom for EVERYONE! A show is popular and people are engaging in FAN SHIPS AND Y'ALL ARE HERE RUINING IT LIKE A BUNCH OF FKN KARENS!
