it's ironic that ableds love using disabled people for inspiration porn but hate actually giving the vast majority of disabled people the tools and accommodation to facilitate disabled people doing more with their time. it's almost like the point of it isn't to inspire but to create a false narrative that disability can be overcome with strength of will because look at these people who did it! now stop asking for help
I want black children to be seen as children and not treated like adults. I don’t want black boys to be targeted as black men or black girls to be written off as “acting too grown.”
I want them to pursue their interests and dreams and not have anyone stand in their way. I want them to grow up and only know racism as a thing of the past, something that’s never happened to them.
I want them to be loved, and safe, and supported and respected.
Writers have two modes and they are "i haven't written in three weeks and i am rotting from the inside and everything feels wrong and i don't know who i am anymore" and "i wrote for four hours straight and forgot to eat and it's dark outside and when did that happen and i feel like a god" and there is nothing in between. no chill. no medium setting. just famine or feast and a very confused nervous system.

it's one of those things that's most "i'd like it more" than a theory i'm convinced on but. i feel like if anyone like chose a prophecy role and forced their way in it's kris. that's like my firm Narrative belief. they took the role of the cage from the vessel because being the cage was the only way to do what they need to do.
Because Of This, i will tend to believe in "normal human being" kris just because that fits better narratively with the thing. however there is a compelling idea to "kris was discarded and had a chance at normalcy but took back the role instead", ill admit it,
As a society, we need to go back to understanding that strangers on the internet are, you know, strangers. I feel lately that I'm seeing a rise in 'An author I love blocked me because they took my comment the wrong way' posts on the ao3 subreddit, and then the comment is them calling the author a fucking bitch or something like that.
Don't do this. Tone doesn't translate well in text, and if you don't have a rapport with that author, they are not going to interpret, 'You're a fucking bitch' as, 'Author I hate you for being so talented and making me feel so keenly.' They're going to interpret it as you being an asshole. You can shit talk with your friends because you have an established relationship with them and can distinguish between playful banter and genuine anger. You do not have this with a stranger, no matter how much you like their fics. You will have a much more pleasant time in fandom and not get cockblocked from interacting with your favorite writers if you remember this.
#I don't often see comments like these when I'm reading a fic but there have been a few that made me raise an eyebrow#I don't know if I would block over someone calling me a bitch on a fic I wrote but I'd probs try to gently tell them it's not right#coz honestly I feel like this is an issue with younger age groups who are new to reading fics and might not understand fandom culture#or at least I hope it's younger people who simply don't know better 😬#otherwise... yikes
This isn't some esoteric niche aspect of fandom culture, strangers at the potluck also do not like being called a fucking bitch.
People in the comments like "you just need to add a /pos tone indicator to your comment!": strangers at the potluck do not like being told "You're a bitch!" with a smile and a thumbs up.

I tend to do a lot of cooking experiments and frankly the amount of closed mindedness people have around what food should and shouldn’t look like is holding them back I think
I notice that a lot of people’s immediate reaction to hearing about a cooking technique or flavor combination that they haven’t come across before is open disgust. A disgust and primal hatred that they will then take out on the messenger of this new and glorious news that the world is a little bit bigger than they thought it was.
i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:
"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.
an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.
You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.
If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.
Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.
my favorite variation of these, and one of the most difficult ones to pull off well, is the fusion AU. that's where you take characters from one piece of media and put them in the world of another. it's not quite a crossover because it's not "characters from X meet characters from Y," it's "what if characters from X were in the world of Y." like...
what if Bucky Barnes was Ella Enchanted
what if Steve and Bucky were Heralds of Valdemar
what if Jane Austen's Persuasion, but with Wangxian
and yes I have read these and they are excellent.
I also want to mention the IN SPACE!!! AU as a fun standard AU trope, because right now I'm rereading @mikkeneko's unfinished Untamed But In Space fic and it's still one of my favorite things anyone has ever done with that story.
We need to put out periodic reminders in fandom that trying to argue in favor of the divine right of kings or defending wartime atrocities or rich people's entitlement to the deference of indentured servants or whatever is, in fact, way less compelling and far stupider than just going well, that character is hot and this is fiction so I've decided it's all good.
Wanting to fuck the evil demon king because he's gorgeous and tormented is far more respectable than trying to defend his actual policies. If someone accuses you of only liking him because you want to fuck him, you can just say yeah that's true, and then what? Either they kinkshame you or they leave. Checkmate.

Shen Yuan transmigrates as the young tyrant emperor of some world he knows absolutely nothing about.
He has a System, but it’s the type of System that doesn’t actually do much. It just tells him he’s a tyrant, sticks labels on people he’s meant to know (showing their names and job titles) and maybe offers a very basic lore codex.
It’s fine, Shen Yuan knows how this transmigration thing works! He just has to put together some context clues and keep an eye out for any drama. Maybe make his rule a bit less tyrannical, so the inevitable protagonist will simply exile him instead of something more severe like execution. It’s a perfect plan!
Not long after transmigrating, an old woman in rags with milky white eyes bursts into his throne room, yelling about his empire’s doom.
Rather than kicking her out —as everyone expected— Shen Yuan starts excitedly asking question and tells his aids to write down everything she says!
A young man from a small town by the Luo river will rise up and take the throne you say? Any idea which town…? How about which county then?
Hmm, is there any information about the inciting incident that inspires his revolution? Is there some plague or famine on the horizon that’s going to cause trouble the people? Maybe a local corrupt official is abusing his authority?
In the end there is not much to go on.
Everyone almost seems to expect him to burn down every Luo river village or some nonsense, which would be foolish! When has harassing random villages ever done anything but make a protagonist righteously angry?
No, what Shen Yuan actually does is pull out all the reform plans he’s been “idly” thinking up. Plans to root out corruption, plans for improving roads and other basic infrastructure, plans for storing and preserving food in case of famine, plans to aid the poor by giving out basic food rations and warm clothing in struggling areas, plans to build and fund free schools that teach basic math and literacy, plans for larger schools in bigger cities with more advanced lessons, vocational training programs, and subsidized or free tuition for gifted children, and so on.
If some small town boy will be the next ruler, Shen Yuan must make certain he at least has a decent enough childhood and the basic education necessary to rule well, right? Plus it’s much more likely he’ll be able to retire gracefully if one of his programs successfully helps out the protagonist!
Of course, our dear protagonist Luo Binghe really is helped out by Shen Yuan’s efforts, even if he still ends up struck by other types of misfortune. It’s crystal clear to him the emperor is great and benevolent, even if some people try to undermine him and abuse his kindness!
After seeing a glimpse of the emperor as he surveys the results of his efforts, Binghe’s heart is set aflame. The emperor is peerlessly beautiful as well as kind! If only Binghe were his equal, he would gladly beg for even a single touch of his hand. 🥰
In the background the System Admin despairs over its decision to attach a limited interference module to the new Shen Qingqiu.
At least there are a bunch of grumpy nobles around that can be reliably nudged into rebelling... If they manage to take over and the protagonist then rebels against them —in honor of the dead emperor— that still counts, right?
…
Actually, in light of the protagonist’s feelings, he might even be willing to take the throne of the empress instead, and become a regent prince. System Admin will just have to wait and see.
My favorite comments, and some additional thoughts I've had!
@thesadisticsiren
#fucking iconic honestly #sy out here trying to make sure the next king is set up good and wont hate him. binghe trying to become his queen 🥰 #god some of the nobles might TRY rebelling and Binghe would dEAL with it. gets to protect his beloved emperor AND maybe meet him after #two birds for one stabbed minister is a bogo deal
"Two birds for one stabbed minister" is hilarious! I love it! 😂
@sunderwight
#binghe kills his way through the most corrupt & disloyal nobles and shen yuan is like oh I guess it's go time #all braced for being torn from his throne and (hopefully) exiled instead of killed although given the state of the rebel nobles #his odds aren't looking too good this is a bloodthirsty protagonist #meanwhile luo binghe gets his audience with the emperor and instead of orchestrating a bloodbath or whatever sy's expecting #he's just like 'for my reward I want a date' :) #shen yuan has no idea what to make of this approach and keeps waiting for luo binghe to spring his trap #scrambling for stalling tactics that just read like elaborate courtship rituals to binghe who's nodding along like yeah no ofc it's not easy #it wouldn't befit shen qingqiu to offer an easy courtship #binghe will bring him whatever he asks for and complete whatever trial required just to be able to come back and beg a touch of his hand
Yes! Perfect! 🙂↕️
The 'stalling tactic' missions should be stuff he thinks would A) ultimately help the kingdom, B) prove that he did at least try to fix [specific thing] but [insert issue here] got in the way, and/or C) teach Binghe some useful skill or help him gain allies.
(He had some of his people look into Binghe's background when all the killing started, so he either knows or can guess the broad strokes of the guy's personal tragedies at least. He really did try Binghe! Please don't kill him! 😭)
@cirrup
#god you know that court is tearing its hair out #half of them desperately trying to commit political espionage and the other half getting annihilated by SY’s wife beam of mass destruction #too bad for them. Binghe exists
Truly the wife beam is a dangerous weapon! It's why his enemies are so keen to get him killed off. If they delay too long his supporters might reach critical mass!
—————
Alright, to maximize the comic potential, Shen Yuan should narrowly avoid getting assassinated by his rebellious nobles purely due to ridiculous shenanigans!
Every once in a while, after a few village schools have been built, or some other project was completed, Shen Qingqiu will insist on touring the area.
(While the Luo river territories were the start, Shen Yuan continued his efforts elsewhere of course. It would be suspicious otherwise... and what if the protagonist moves to a new town? Just because he's from a town by the Luo river doesn't mean he stays there!)
Either before or after his official tour he will often lock himself away in the nearest villa, manor or noble household to “rest” for a few days, seemingly doing nothing besides lounging around in his private chambers.
Naturally his rebellious nobles decide all that time he spends alone during his visits is the perfect time to strike! Their hired assassin sneaks into Shen Qingqiu’s chambers, prepared to end his reign for good, when... SURPRISE!!!
The only two people in the room are Shen Qingqiu’s personal attendant, Ming Fan, and the emperor’s niece, Princess Yingying!
Turns out while supposedly “locked away” and resting, Shen Qingqiu actually puts on a shitty beard, rough clothes, and some ‘old man’ makeup, then wanders over to inspect the results of his efforts personally (and maybe even teach some classes if it’s a school!) The person hanging out in his rooms eating delicacies and making his personal attendant run errands is actually just a body double.
Once she reached her adult height, Ning Yingying became the perfect candidate for this particular ruse. Give her some platform boots, a binder, some eye makeup, and robes tailored for the purpose, and she’s a dead ringer for her uncle!
(Well… as long as she’s only glimpsed from afar, seen from behind, or observed peering over a fan at people anyway... It's good enough for Shen Yuan's purposes!)
Anyway, it's lucky for everyone that Ning Yingying is too useful a political pawn for the assassin to just kill her. It's a time honored tradition to have one's puppet emperor marry a female descendant of a past emperor for 'legitimacy' and all that.
(Boy does the assassin wish he could just kill her though. Shen Yuan strongly suspected her future role, and trained her accordingly. The assassin turned kidnapper is in for a rough time. 😂)
—————
For the old woman seer, Shen Yuan actually gives her an official position, a nice set of rooms, and her own personal maid after the whole "portents of doom" incident.
The woman in question tries to keep warning him about terrible futures whenever she 'sees' them, but if it's something rebellion or usurpation related Shen Yuan always just waves it off. (This is somewhat unfortunate, as the predictions gradually start being about the noble rebellion, not the original Binghe related one.)
If it's at all related to external invaders, illness, famine or natural disasters, he's all over it though!
You saw the south buried beneath the ocean you say? Ming Fan! Fetch the historic records of southern floods and extreme weather events, plus whomever is most familiar with flood control and storm preparation!
We'll need to build some levees probably, and maybe some drainage canals for the aftermath. 🤔
Oh! And some storehouses at higher elevations, with emergency supplies and enough space for refuges to camp out should the worst occur.
Considering Shen Yuan's complete disregard for his personal safety compared to this sort of thing, it's no wonder every honorable government official, benevolent noble, and palace servant is absolutely smitten by the guy!
—————
I haven't decided if this AU has magic, cultivation, or improbable martial arts, or it's just a mundane world.
If it's mundane and/or Shen Qingqiu isn't a cultivator, then he was probably crowned emperor as a 16-year-old, when Binghe was only 6.
Everyone was definitely super surprised that the former bratty princeling woke up a few months into his reign and suddenly became a competent leader!
Ning Yingying is Shen Qingqiu's only living relative, and at most two years younger then Binghe —possibly a few years older actually— which makes it quite funny when Binghe acts like he's auditioning to be her new stepfather. (Look, Binghe noticed that Emperor Qingqiu treats her like a daughter, so naturally that makes him the prospective stepparent, right?)
When Shen Yuan actually notices Binghe's attempted overtures, he somehow always sees them as requests for Ning Yingying's hand, rather then his own.
(His System responds by passive aggressively adding codex entries about local courtship traditions and historic cut-sleeve emperors, but Shen Yuan hasn't opened the codex in ages, so it doesn't help).
