4:35 PM LONDON TIME: I MADE IT 49/51 FUCK YEAH

I really want to cosplay with this outfit.

As I can't, Yuki-onne/Oikawa Tsurara as one of the most elegantly-designed character will do so.

Making a come back in Ao3 with my new ORV fic.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/62823925/chapters/160850209

Summary: An ORV reaction where Dokja's suicidal ideation is a bit more obvious from Day 0. Where Kim Dokja's company watches Dokja's past and doesn't take dozens to thousands of pages to realize that Dokja had intended to die during that fateful subway ride after reading the final chapter of his favourite novel. Slowly discovering that the truth is even more devastating.

The current 18k (2 chapters) covers from the Prologue to Joonghyuk throwing Dokja off the bridge.

So I have read several people complaining that they can't be expected to know the "unwritten rules" of fandom. So here's what I wish people knew:

Fanfiction is fiction.

Fictional people are not real.

Fictional people do not have rights.

Fictional people cannot be abused.

Reading or writing about something does not mean the desire to do or support it in the real world.

If I find art upsetting/triggering/disgusting/outraging/unpleasant/squicky/distressing/offensive, it is on me not to read it, not the creators and hosts to remove it.

Curate your own experience. The back buttons exist for a reason.

If you don't trust yourself to do that, get someone you trust to do it for you.

Fandom is an adult space. Adults create and own and host fandom spaces. If minors want to participate, then the onus is on them and their parents/guardians/trusted adults to ensure they participate appropriately, not on strange adults to stop being adults.

You often don't know the assault status or mental health status or neurotype or race or nationality or religion or gender or sexuality or age of a creator or consumer, and they do not have to disclose to you to justify their fantasy.

AO3 is not a safe space. It is not intended to be a safe space. Proceed accordingly.

Just because you don't like something or find it offensive doesn't mean it is a "problem" that "has to be dealt with".

Most characters in anime are not white.

There is no onus on you to reblog or share anything.

Everyone makes mistakes in fandom and is less than their best self sometimes.

Persistent pseudonyms encourage long term relationships.

Ship wars are stupid.

Someone else enjoying things does not impact on your own enjoyment of other things.

Tagging and warning is a courtesy, not a requirement. Assume any fic might contain untagged content.

Rating is an imprecise art, not a science.

Don't hassle IP creators.

Most people who are in fandom are hoping to make connections based on a shared passion.

Trying to profit from transformative fanworks puts us all at risk.

No one is obligated to share your head canon or fanon.

Being kind rarely fails to pay off.

It is okay to block and remove people who make your experience unpleasant. You don't have to placate them. (Learn from my mistakes).

Britpicking is a good thing.

You don't have to justify why you like a canon/pairing/trope/kink. Sometimes navel gazing is fun, but you don't have an obligation to explain yourself, especially to strangers. I share the overwhelming desire to refute an unfair accusation, but the people accusing you are rarely doing so in good faith, so you're batting a losing wicket.

I'm not your Mum. (Well, okay, a very few of you can call me Mum or Mom, but if you are one of them you already know who you are ❤️)

If you aren't mature enough to take responsibility for your online experiences, you aren't mature enough to be in fandom spaces.

A good breakfast

What’s your opinion on jiraiya? Personally I detest him

Funny you should ask ‘cause I’m readying chapter 29 for publishing as we speak, and he just happens to make his first apparition here.

I dislike him and always have. In fact I think he’s the only “nice” character I disliked from the start - for most of the others it came when I was older and analyzing Naruto deeper than I had as a kid. But Jiraiya never worked on me. First of all, because the pervert trope is one of the things I dislike the most in manga and anime culture. This whole “old man perving after women, trying to see them naked and talking about boobs all the time” really isn’t what draws me to the media. Especially because it’s never criticized in any way - he gets called out on it and punched on occasion, but it’s not seen as a major character flaw, the way it should. I read back on his first meeting with Naruto for chapter 29 and damn. Naruto uses Sexy Meta to convince him to train him, and he tries to bargain for him to stay in that form the whole time… NOT cute and funny. This is just gross.

Generally speaking he is unlikeable to me. Irresponsible, immature, caring only about his immediate pleasure, kind of mean at times too… It’s been said before but the scene where he convinces Naruto to entrust him with his hard-worn money, only to spend it all in women and alcohol? Like, wow. That’s top-notch asshole move, there’s nothing excusable about it, and even as a kid it made me very uncomfortable, seeing that it was pretty much swept under the rug.

And well, getting into meta and over-analyzing Naruto really doesn’t paint him in a better light, because he’s the boy’s fucking godfather and he abandoned him just like the rest. Even if he was spying around, even if he had missions and whatnot, he should have checked on the kid, there’s really no excuse for it. And again the issue is that it’s not one. Just like the Sandaime, his actions are never put into question. It feeds into the general issue of no one ever fucking apologizing to Naruto for failing him and for the shit they put him though, and Naruto never resenting anyone either, something that’s I’m forever bitter about (and made me write 240k of fanfic lol). As it is, his death didn’t work for me as well as it’s supposed to in the narrative, because like… I really never felt like Naruto was that attached to him, and had any reason to? And I surely wasn’t attached either. I was sad Naruto lost him, but at the same time… Meh.

I enjoy his backstory with Tsunade and Orochimaru a lot more. I like their relationship and the tragedy behind it, how they failed utterly and completely to save each other. And I’m partial to the whole Ame Kids Debable I guess, even if how could the village let him stay in a warzone to teach foreign kids for what many years is beyond me. Don’t shinobi have like, things to do? Duties to uphold? Also I’m on the wikia and I just saw that when he parted with them he told Konan she’d grow to be beautiful, and to come see him when she turned eighteen… Why man, why.

And this whole prophecy child also does very little to me? But that has more to do with that plotline in general, that was pretty useless and unnecessary imo. So yeah, it’s safe to say I don’t like him.

BUT he’s still part of the story and still has a role to play in my fic, and I don’t bash character cause I don’t. So I’ll have to find a way to make him okay for me to write… We’ll see how I fare haha.

Sorry for the rant, seems like I had things to say on the matter. Thanks for asking though, I’m always ready to give a lengthy opinion on anything at any time :p
