I think it’s time we had a talk about female versions of originally male characters in fanfic.
          
          It’s not that every writer is deliberately being homophobic, but the choice is often shaped by heteronormative bias, and that’s why it feels off.
          
          If you’re making a male character female specifically so you can ship them with a man, whether in-universe or a crossover, that’s weird. If the dynamic already works, then what exactly is the point of changing their sex?
          
          Especially in fanfiction, where you have unlimited options. If you want a self-insert or a female character in that role, you could write an OC who went through similar experiences, do a twin or sibling AU, or create a new character with the same vibe.
          
          There are so many ways to achieve the same thing without removing queerness from a dynamic that already works.
          
          That’s really the issue. It’s not genderbending on its own, it’s when it’s used to default a dynamic back to straight when it didn’t need to be.
          
          And it’s noticeable too. I’ve got a whole list of ships I liked where it’s genuinely hard to find versions that aren’t genderbent in this exact way.

I went down an Alien Stage rabbit hole and now I’m sad. That shit is tragically amazing. 

Hello,  I figured you read and liked one of my discontinued novels (Singles||zb1). I started a new dating au, would love for you to check it out ^ ^

I’m not sure why mfers keep trying to come for me for logical and fair takes and respectful critiques but rest assured that I will eat yo ass up if you come for me disrespectfully, play with your mama, not me.

Stop making excuses for this nigga Batman, I’m sick of it I swear T-T

Hiii! I just want to say thank you. 
          
          Thank you for giving my story ( Angel with a shotgun ) a chance, I know it’s a little messy and a little over the place, I had no clue where the story was heading. 
          
          I appreciate the comments you have left ! 

Just wanted to hop in here rq  and say that y’all Cole Walter girlies have the self respect of Sakura Haruno and impossibly low standards. Especially considering the fact that how Alex is, is literally what y’all say y’all are looking for in your s/o. But apparently Alex being protective and jealous (and rightfully so) is an “ick”. Cole is quite literally the reddest of flags and a few random nice gestures to try and make the audience empathize and sympathize with his character isn’t (or at least shouldn’t be) changing that. It’s okay to like characters who aren’t great people without making excuses for them or trying to make them seem like a better person than they are. And also Jackie ain’t off the hook either because she trifling fr but that’s for another time.

Thank you for adding The Older Sister to your reading list. If you have any ideas, please comment. Hope you enjoy it!

Can we go back to putting languages in the tags of a book please? Because y’all will give a book an English title and description but then when I open it and it’s Burmese/Myanmar ｡ﾟ･｡(ಥ▽ಥ)｡ﾟ･｡

Mike Tyson said it best that people have gotten too comfortable being able to say whatever they want over the internet and not getting they shit rocked for it. Because some of y’all mfers on this platform be talking real reckless, but can’t even make your order at a restaurant without stuttering irl. It’s real “ you’ve never been punched in the face” behavior. Because having to actually deal with the consequences of what y’all be saying would definitely have gotten that shit whooped out of some of y’all. And if you find yourself getting offended, the boot prolly fits ‍♀️
