This fic presented the multiverse as working differently from the canon game sessions and had him hopping in and out of non-game AUs and so on with it. That implies to me that there were multiple sessions/'verses containing the same things.
this is a gripe about a specific fic and also nsfw so under the spoiler it goes Spoiler: nsfw tentacle stuff so i was vaguely reading this fic in which one of the main characters has tentacles and the author describes at length how all the tentacles have different personalities and sort-of minds, minds that are simple and kind of child-like. the tentacled character's boyfriend dotes over them, and treats them like pets or very young children. but when the tentacled character and his boyfriend have sex, the tentacles participate. vigorously. the same tentacles that are later talked about like they're kittens or kids. a'slkdg;laksdjglkjlka;lksadgl;kj i should have known better! but i was not expecting it to go in this direction! i find this so creepy i can't stop thinking about it!
Well, apparently no one can think of what to do with newly acquired near-omnipotence other than making a lot of people have sex with them?
today's gripey gripes: creating angst through artificially isolating a character by casually ignoring all their relationships in the story is the Worst Bad Fanfic Trope and i Will Not Stand For It in related topics, no, friendly needling does NOT MEAN TWO CHARACTERS HATE EACH OTHER. JESUS FUCK.
Author, just because character N has black hair and a flat affect and the other two parts of the ot3 have red hair does not mean that he’s the sober balancing influence to their wild chaos. He’s more eccentric than either one of them and 90% of the shenanigans in canon are instigated by him. Why must you make him boring
This is... Not exactly fanfic, it's one of the good old Point Five Chapters™ of web serials, but: Spoiler: NSFW glopping
no-powers au's where the characters have nothing in common with their canon selves except name and appearance. what would be a cute little original romance short becomes a huge awkward disappointment when i spend the whole thing going "in what way is this person steve rogers tho."
Me, staring intently at the myriad of Dragon Age Modern No Magic AUs that come with the assumption of 'everyone had a happy childhood and homelife and has never struggled with any issue greater than what flavor of coffee they wanted on a given day': where are my boys, these are not my boys
is it just me or is this fic hbo's 'deadwood' with an avengers paintover? not that i'd mind if they labeled it a crossover but. i was wary enough of the Let's Make Everyone British author trying their hand at a western. now it seems the only western they've seen is 'deadwood' and they're lifting plot out of it directly. i'm grumpy about it.
i need there to be a tag on ao3 for "yes bucky barnes is the winter soldier and no i have not erased his suffering and made him into a regular guy" because one fucking hundred percent of the stucky fics i found today gave him a backstory-ectomy. let barnes kill people you cowards
This fic is unapologetically a crack fic, and that's okay. Harry and Hermione become expert thieves masquerading as expert ward crafters? Fun! Harry and Hermione accidentally marry because of backwards pureblood customs? Classic. Harry and Hermione run around stealing death eaters' family magic to fight against voldemort? Great! Ron panics upon being attacked by a group of death eaters while visiting Charlie in Romania and shoots lust spells (Weasley family magic is fertility magic) at the dragons, prompting them to go after the death eaters while he runs away? Uh... Ron accidentally uses an orgasm spell on a female death eater when she attacks him, winning him her loyalty forever? UH... All the female death eaters defect to Ron, who goes under a false name to execute his dastardly plan to bring the wizarding population up: shoot overpowered lust spells (with the help of his harrem of "dark bunnies") all over public places like diagon alley? Leaving the death eaters to separate into two factions: frat boys and predatory gay men? There are just. So many layers of awful slathered on top of a fundamentally neat idea. Don't even get me started on Luna. Or Dumbledore. Or even Snape.
i found a fic with the avengers fighting the undead, and i was very hopeful that at last i'd found something that contained adventure and heroics, which is kind of crucial to my enjoyment of superhero adventures, you know? but then they've got the hydra necromancer holed up in some compound and they're fighting zombies with axes instead of calling in an airstrike and i heard my suspension of disbelief break with an audible shattering sound. "fighting the dead didn't lend itself to modern weapons" my ass, a large caliber handgun will do more to stop a zombie than an axe anytime, and YOU ASSHOLES HAVE FIGHTER JETS AND BAZOOKAS. people who've never seen a zombie movie should not try to write zombie apocalypse fic. maybe i should just go to bed early.
That sounds like a result of having seen too many zombie movies. And taking Mel Brooks (or whatever his name is) seriously. (in which we learn that artillery doesn't work against zombies because they don't need to breathe).
Any time anyone is said to be speaking up or down one or more octaves than usual Especially if its, idk, theyre flirtin and someone says something "a few octaves" deeper to indicate Woh Its Sexxxxxy Maybe its just me but that sounds very improbable And unless youre having Very Very squeaky voice cracks i dont think anyone can suddenly make a noise "a few" octaves higher, either
As a former Choir Kid(TM), that is an extremely hilarious thing to imagine. There was a kid in my middle school choir who could sing everything from adult baritone to soprano without going into falsetto, and his downright ridiculous range was... 3 octaves.
