Meet @apocalypticromantic666!

We asked AR a few questions, and here are the answers!

Q. What type of content do you create?

A: I create mostly fanfiction, usually along the lines of Porn with a Plot or Angst, but I also enjoy make traditional art as well.

Q: Do you have an ao3, Twitter, or account specifically for your works?

A: Yes! My ao3 is ApocalypticRomantic!

Q: What work are you most proud of, why?

A: Butterfly with a Broken Wing is the work I take the most pride in so far. I plan on integrating most of my headcanons into that piece, so I'm having a lot of fun with it. And writing Ciel as an awkward, pouty teenager is just too funny. joy

Q: When did you get into Kuro?

A: Quite recently, actually- maybe 4 to five months ago. An old friend of mine introduced me to it, and needless to say I was immediately hooked. The characters, aesthetics, and story line really captured my imagination. I am partial to the manga, but did enjoy some of the anime's concepts.

Q: What ships do you have, if any?

A: Sebastian X Ciel is my absolute favorite, but I also ship Sebastian X Claude, Sebastian X Baldroy, Sebastian X Vincent, Sebastian X Undertaker, Undertaker X Vincent, Vincent X Deiderich, Snake X Ciel, Agni X Sebastian, Soma X Agni, and... well, I'm open to pretty much any ship, really. Poly ships are lots of fun too!

Q: What are your favorite tropes?

A: Enemies to lovers, There was Only One Bed, Hurt/Comfort, A/B/O dynamics, Roomates, Dystopian AU, Holiday fics, Fake Dating and Idiots in Love.

Q: Do you have a routine for your creative process?

A: With ADHD, I often have difficulty focusing. So I actually do most of my writing at work when it's quiet and there's no distractions. I work night shifts in an adult novelty store, so we don't get a ton of traffic. As you can imagination, this environment gives plenty of inspiration for my PWP works, LOL.

Not every argument is worth your energy. Sometimes, no matter how clearly you express yourself, the other person isn’t listening to understand—they’re listening to react.

And antis want to be given a reason to lash out and clutch their pearls. To feign outrage.

They’re stuck in their own perspective, unwilling to consider another viewpoint, and engaging with them only drains you.

There’s a difference between a healthy discussion and a pointless debate.

A conversation with someone who is open-minded, who values growth and understanding, can be enlightening—even if you don’t agree. But trying to reason with someone who refuses to see beyond their own beliefs? That’s like talking to a wall. No matter how much logic or truth you present, they will twist, deflect, or dismiss your words, not because you’re wrong, but because they’re unwilling to see another side.

They are dedicated to purposefully misunderstanding you.

And maturity isn’t about who wins an argument—it’s about knowing when an argument isn’t worth having. It’s realizing that your peace is more valuable than proving a point to someone who has already decided they won’t change their mind. Not every battle needs to be fought. Not every person deserves your explanation.

You do not owe anyone your medical history, your personal traumas, reasons you have for shipping what you love, or explanation for any harmless kink you have. You owe them nothing. Ignore their demands to put you under an interrogation spotlight.

I'm looking at you, antis.

Learn to differentiate fiction from reality. Learn that bullying people over disgust and pretending it's 'moral righteous anger' is wrong.

Unlearn your moral grandstanding and virtue signaling bullshit. It will only serve to help indoctrinate you to the BITE model anti-cult. False Morality points are useless in real life.

We don't want another wattpad. Or fanfiction.net. Ao3 is great because it does not censor creations or allow harassment of creators.

I'm sure you can imagine how someone like this gaining a position of power in a queer-friendly space is going to go.

Tell me, what is the number one false flag that republicans hide behind when pushing agendas that are designed to target and oppress LGBTQ+ people and minorities? tHiNk oF tHe cHiLdReN!

The above is their policy lead, which screams pro-censorship and anti-kink.

She answered the OTW Q and A's like any republican who is hiding pro-censorship and evangelical agendas would.

And how many republican candidates have you seen do a complete 180 and go back on their promises to NOT target and oppress minorities and the most vulnerable groups?

Pretty much fucking ALL of them.

Guys, we cannot let her get into our safe space. The archive is one of the last frontiers we have where we are not monetized by corporations, and we can be safely queer and create without judgement.

If Audrey gets in, we can kiss it all goodbye.

Oooh, I'm sooo impressed by your shrill, false, moral righteous anger! 😂 Look at you, equating fiction with actual child abuse and pornography! Congratulations on your puritanical christian fundamentalism which has left you completely unable to distinguish fiction from reality!

And so you send abuse to another CSA survivor because you think only ONE type of survivor deserves to exist- the kind you can uwu-ify and infantalize. But you think those of us who try to cope and heal using fiction as recommended by our therapists should just, I dunno, go hide in a corner and never see the light of day? Who does that help, I wonder?

Oh, right. No one but our abusers.

You've been reported for harassment, too. 🥰 Which blocks your IP address' access, so have fun losing your main account too! 😀

Might I suggest practicing what you preach, as well?

YOUR ANGER SHOULD BE AT YOUR ABUSER, NOT FELLOW CSA SURVIVORS, @decaffeinatedmusicpeach

If you found my properly tagged posts or fiction, it's because you sought out the tags and failed to filter what supposedly triggers you. That's on YOU for actively engaging in self-harm. You're the one who cut yourself, don't yell at me and act outraged that you're bleeding.

Either way, the abandoned warehouse was crawling with the infected.

Your flashlight's batteries crapped out, but only after you were halfway through the crumbling building. One wrong step into a dark hallway and glass crunched underfoot. Pale hands clawed out at you from the shadows. Muzzle flash illuminated a startlingly large group.

But you didn't see the boomer behind them until it was too late. All it took was a single stray bullet for the bloated infected to explode in all directions, showering you with blood and bile. You ditched your ruined shirt but until you can rinse off, you're blood in the water.

Just winning all kinds of fucking awards today.

So now you're running for your life in your goddamned undershirt and you can barely stay ahead of the howling horde on your heels.

Skidding into an alley, you rip a pipe bomb from your pack and hurl it behind you. You pump your legs like hell, and manage to pull ahead just far enough to avoid the shrapnel.

Shit shit shit

There are still footfalls, a few tailing you. You pull your pistol and unload. The infected jerk backwards with each bullet then finally drop.

Chest heaving with panicked breath, you shakily lower your gun and slip your pack back on.

A heavy stillness settles over the alley. Thick enough to cut with a knife. The hair on the back of your neck flares, standing on end.

Between your gasps, there's a sound. You hold your breath.

A quiet, rhythmic tapping echoes through the alley, making fear trickle cold over your scalp.

Aiming for the rooftops, you find your stalker perched about twelve feet up on a window ledge. He's finally within range.

Click.

Your heart stops dead in your chest.

Click. Click. Click.

Yeah. God definitely hates you.

Fangs glint wetly in the dying light as his lips skin back into what can only be described as a sinister smile. Like he knows that hollow, metallic click means you're fucked six ways to Sunday. Bloody saliva spills over his lower lip.

The hunter twitches that unnerving twitch, and all of his muscles coil beneath his hoodie as he prepares to launch.

A little something I've been working on, inspired by @theroadkillrebel 's brilliant Hunter headcanons, which you can read here (please do they're so tasty).
