"if You Ship This Thing It's Because You're Too Nave To Understand That It's Toxic And That You Wouldn't

"if you ship this thing it's because you're too naïve to understand that it's toxic and that you wouldn't like a relationship like this" actually it's because I see one of them as a mentos drop and the other as a bottle of coke zero and I want to watch the mess they'll be together

sometimes a healthy relationship isn't 50/50 because it can't be, and that's okay.

disabled people who cannot take on an equal portion of the work in a relationship deserve to be loved too, if that's what they want. and as long as their partner is getting the support they need, and is happy to take on that work, then what's the issue? it's nobodys business but your own the way that works in your relationship.

if you or your partner are disabled, and you can't split the work in the relationship 50/50, that's okay. you're not abusive, or a baby, or unloveable because of that. I promise

Fics

I love writing, and even more so when it comes to fanfiction! I have a lot of stories stuck in my brain and stuck as unpublished in my docs…

So, keep in mind that the stories listed below are only the ones I have already published, or am soon going to publish. Also, a lot of these (more like all of them…) are ongoing; that is to say, they are not completed.

Most of them are standalone, meaning they’re like a novel, but a few are part of a series. If they are a series, it will be labeled like so: “Series’ Title” [series]. The series' stories are right underneath, in numerical order. And, as you can see, I have them labeled in alphabetical order, by fandom. (Crossover(s) is at the top because, despite starting with a C, it has more than one fandom involved; as such, it is considered “other,” so to speak.) (As for Character Studies, they are separate from the rest of my stories, which is why I put them above Crossover(s). The order for this is "Title" [Character Name; Fandom Name].)

This list is constantly being updated. As such, more fics will be added, and a key/legend may appear soon.

the inevitability of us (of a heartbreak)

i'm genuinely curious after seeing a post about it so

it's interesting to me that torture just works to us, as a literary device. It's everywhere in movies and stories and whatnot, from big-budget dramas to little grindhouse short stories. It fits neatly into the requirements of plot: character doesn't want to offer information, Gets Tortured, has to offer information.

the issue with this is that it isn't how it works.

torture is a display of power. It fouls interrogation, this is known; a person being tortured will tell you whatever you want to hear to make it stop, which is more often than not a lie, made up on the spot, or if the truth an incomplete and useless version of it. It isn't generally done for information's sake anyway, but as a form of what the ancient Greeks called hybris, the violent exhibition of your power over another person.

This is, every once in a great while, done right in fiction, but it's a challenge to write vs. the idea that it's a shortcut to one character revealing plot-critical information to another. Pretty much every form of torture works this way, even the ones that are legally permissible. Psychological torment or physical discomfort also produce an animalistic desire to escape harm and foul interrogation. The forms of torture the cops can do? The cops do it not to gain information (or if they think it will, they're lying to themselves) but because it makes them feel powerful.

There's probably a master's thesis in it for somebody studying the rise of torture as a plot device since the beginning of the war on terror and the contemporaneous development of the Broken Windows theory of policing. I'm not really aware of any similar level of disconnect between what Works in fiction and what happens in real life!

if you give “stupid” characters rural/southern accents i don’t like you and if you give “smart” characters rural/southern accents but it’s a punchline i don’t like you even more
