(I mean, pretty sure the author just wanted to write their id-ily satisfying "homophobe stops being homophobic because of the Power of Love" romance and smashed their square peg OTP into the round hole because dammit, the id demands satisfaction, but I'm still going to laugh at the fact that Friend quoted a five-sentence line of dialogue at me and the only part of it that was NOT a "homophobe bingo" square was the word "Typical.")
Can you spot the buried lede in this paragraph? HINT: It's the part about how he's covered in blood. Because, you know, if you're the only person on the subway in the middle of the night, and some guy gets on looking all strung-out and bloody, the first thing you're going to think is "damn he's hot".
A bloody face is the main thing *I* look for in a man. I'm sure the author was just putting the guy's most attractive feature at the end of the paragraph for maximum hotness oomph
spock not to kinkshame but that might be an uncommon taste. Otoh, Oscar Isaac withhis hair mussed and blood on him.
@LadyNighteyes Sounds rather like the "pile on every possible Bad Person cliche" way of writing villains.
No, fanficcer, it is not funny or cute for a character who should know better to masturbate with vegetables and then put them back in the kitchen.
Tfw you remember that one of your favorite stories ever is a fanfic that is 100% absolutely never going to be continued. (I almost wish it was an ofic so I could write fanfic of it QQ)
If you're going to write Character/Reader fic just.... just Homestuck up and commit to the second person POV. Don't try to do third person, and definitely don't do third person where instead of saying 'Reader' or naming the OC insert, you fucking put in (M/N) at every point in the fic where a name would be used. Male Narrator? Male Name? I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS BUT IT LOOKS FUCKING COMICAL OH MY GOD.
On the topic of character/reader, I've seen character/reader rpf, which kinda made me do a double take when I first saw it.
Oh god I hate those. And they all do [insert pronouns here!] [Insert name here!] Instead of writing AROUND identifying details...
If you're going to write your aboverse porn with the (usually alpha) other participant coming in after the heat has started with no prior agreement between the characters that this is okay, tag for fucking noncon.
She swipes playfully at your [hair color] hair [if you have hair]. "You must be the pride of [insert subject hometown here]." You feel uncomfortable.
