from what i remember of supernatural didnt he get kicked out of heaven at some point this could be an au where it never happened
Okay. If you write something like this shit Spoiler: Pheromone stuff, dubcon Not giving a link because the fic sucks. Then tag your fucking dubcon.
@ChelG if it's Discworld fic, then the two things are basically the same in-universe. I can't remember the exact wording but the reasoning is, the constellations shift drastically within a person's lifetime, so astrology is the study of constellations for them-you can tell when and where someone was born by their starsign, for example, because in 20 or so years time that constellation is gone.
Misogyny shoved randomly into slashfic, especially when no women even appeared onscreen and there was no reason to mention them, especially from female writers. I'm pretty sure portraying gay guys as misogynists by default counts as homophobia too; gay men aren't gay because women are disgusting. They may or may not be repelled by DFAB genitals because they're gay, but ones the (mostly female because it's fanfic) readers are supposed to sympathise with shouldn't dwell on it or be portrayed as justified in doing so, and most gay guys aren't repelled by the mere presence of women.
"Hello," he stated. "Goodbye," she conveyed. "STOP USING SYNONYMS FOR 'SAID' WHEN YOU MEAN 'SAID' THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH 'SAID'," I screamed.
just ran into a fic last night that was like. "blah blah blah" Pouncival the brown and white patched tom with a large brown patch over one side of his face said "yes blah blah" agreed admetus the older patchwork tabby with white brown and red fur no punctuation in the random snippets of description, either. just. suddenly describing characters you really ought to be familiar with if you're reading fic, in one big run-on
MALFOY REDEMPTION FIC WHERE DRACO HAS BEEN, FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE FIC STARTED, ENTIRELY REPLACED BY A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CHARACTER WHO IS SWEET AND KIND AND CONSIDERATE AND PATIENT AND CARING AND WISE AND SAVES THE DAY. ):<
Pretty sure it was an intentional troll as that was also the one in which Jasper Cullen has sex with a talking panda, but it was very good at getting those little WTF moments in alongside the giant WTF moments. I can't help but picture a plimple as being a small animal reminiscent of Poliwag.
Oh, related gripe; contradictory adverbs. If "plimpled" means a kind of speaking, how can it be done "mutely"?
So, referring to a character as "the taller man" when you could just use his name is annoying. Referring to him as "the taller", noun not present, is baffling. eta: I thought maybe it was an accident, but nope, he's also called "the younger".
