#'don't wanna yuck anyone's yum'

[aeide-thea]

i got to thinking again about an aspect of a book which had troubled me, and which remains the pea in the otherwise heaped-high bed of my enjoyment,* and decided to actually investigate a question i'd originally posed only rhetorically, namely: had any of my fellow tumblrinxs voiced similar objections? having gone back through the main tag with some care, i now feel reasonably confident saying that (1) no, they did not, and in fact (2) very, very few people who posted about the book in a searchable way expressed anything other than squee. which—entirely possible all critical discussion has been relegated to the fan discord that apparently exists, which would be depressing; but the alternative is that it's not happening at all, which would be even worse. has a fannish mode of (un)critical engagement been so thoroughly drummed into readers that even when they're reading original, professional fiction, they still feel compelled not to say anything at all, if what they have to say isn't wholly, insipidly Nice?

like, i fully understand, and have ultimately been convinced by, the arguments as to why it's generally inappropriate to post unsolicited critique of identifiable fanworks in spaces where their authors might potentially stumble on said critique and be wounded by it; but if we're getting to a point—or maybe we arrived there ages ago, and i'm only just noticing—where some combination of fannish training and authorial mingling on social media is discouraging public debate about even professional work... oof. i'd love to have ready an eloquent defense of the importance of unfettered public reaction to, and thoughtful analysis of, art, but it's late and i'm tired and honestly all i've got rn is: fml. f all of our increasingly-milquetoast ls, tbh.

#bookblogging #rather suspect self-pub wants to have its cake and eat it too in this regard #and i just. haven't got a ton of patience for that‚ honestly #work that's being sold for real money has to be subjectable to real critique #i don't necessarily mind tagging critical posts for negativity #although frankly i DO find troublesome the idea that the metaphorical agora is the rightful demesne of relentless positivity #within which no downers are to be tolerated‚ unless they wear their scarlet cws #but like. literally i saw maybe one or two *extremely* minor critiques‚ none of which touched on my particular concern #and then one post that was like 'would anyone want to discuss privately?' #'don't wanna yuck anyone's yum' #and it's just like. is yucking people's yum really the worst thing one could do. stockard channing voice. #anyway i recognize that all of this is what the kids call an unpopular opinion but like. if we can only have popularly-approved opinions... #something something coerced to dance until our shoes wear away and our feet likewise

Whenever something remotely kind manages to escape the clutches of Disney out into one of its properties I have to hear wank over it for a week.

Please support independent creators in whatever way shape or form you like best, for just a dollar a day you can get content made by literally not Disney and help me find peace.

is it not too late to ask about Cleon for a ship game? :D

Never too late for the ship game! I'm not really into cleon tho... I think they have a strong connection borne out of shared tremendous trauma, and in a way I think that bounds their relationship. They were both so young in RE2, and they met under such fucked up circumstances and then went off in very different directions, that I didn't think to stop and ship them then. Their interactions in Infinite Darkness and Degeneration were so interesting, and I love their dynamic - their friendship and care for each other, but also the things they butt heads about and where they don't see eye to eye. That square with 'the impact/their story is more interesting than the ship itself' square is the crucial one for me here. There's so much interesting stuff going on with both of them every time they meet in canon that I'm always thinking about that instead of about them kissing. Plus I just don't feel a chemistry... I love them both tenderly, and individually they're so hot, but I just don't see em together.

[acapellas]

i find the phenomenon of the 'character x reader' or y/n fics so bizarre because i genuinely have never wanted to insert myself into the fictional worlds i am a fan of. i've never even made a sim of myself.

#i don't wanna yuck anyone's yum but the concept is so unappealing to me #this also feels relatively new #i can't remember any y/n stuff when i was a teenager #we were all just coming up with our own original characters instead lmao

[downforthegas]

The late night hor//niness struck me again and I was given this idea out of no where:

The Welc//ome Ho//me cast of characters except they’re all farting on you

Ok byyYYYEE-

Yooooo you know what? This post gives me the perfect opportunity to reveal my fart headcanons of the characters: how they fart and their attitudes towards it (and how they would feel farting on you) (long post)

Number 1 is Wa//lly Dar//ling🍎

This little guy doesn't fart around anyone unless he's really close to them, like Ba//rn//any or Ho//me. He likes to be a gentleman about it and maybe sneak off to a quiet place to toot if he's around other company. But more often than not, Wa//lly let's it slip accidently. He's such a little guy, if he has too much gas, he can't possibly hold it in for so long, which in itself is kind of embarrassing. And what do his farts sound like, you might ask? There's no sound! Just a gentle breeze *Fffffffffffffsssssss...* that smells vaguely of rotten apples. You almost wouldn't know he farted, only his blushing face giving him away. Sometimes he'll let out a particularly smelly one that makes a noise. A tiny noise like *Blrt.* or *Prt.* That'll make you go "aww." If he was asked to fart on you, he'd be a little confused. He's been taught that farts are rude but knowing that you find them delightful makes him feel good about it. But he's more comfortable doing lap farts. Face farts (especially bare butt face farts) get him so flustered.

Number 2: Ba//rn//aby B. Be//ag//le🐶

You wanna talk CONFIDENCE? Cause that's our be//ag//le! Man will fart anywhere, but will make sure his little buddy doesn't get caught in the wind storm. He does think it's funny to fart on Fra//nk though. Sometimes he'll use his farts in his gags or jokes, like farting into his microphone (and potentially blowing out the speakers), or saying things like, "That sure was a gas!" right before ripping a loud one. He would do the fart in a jar gag, but his farts are so powerful, he just breaks the glass. Yeah, his farts are loud, and burn your nose with their potent stink (as dog farts do) and given his size, they sound a lot like *BBBRRRRRPPPBBBRRRRRRRTTTT!* You'd be lucky to not pass out. Or at least get into a coughing fit. If you wanted Ba//rn//aby to fart on you, for one, you'll be buried under a huge, furry dog butt that stinks, but you'll be hit with enough gale force winds that'll knock you unconscious on the first fart. Still, he'll do it anyway. He's not one to yuck anyone's yum.

Number 3: Fra//nk Fra//nkl//y🦋

Just the OPPOSITE of Ba//rn//aby's attitude. Knowing him, he'd be WAY TOO embarrassed about farting, way more than Wa//lly. I imagine he's not a very gassy person, but whenever he gets gas, he'd try his hardest to hold it in until he's home. Or at least sneak off to a private spot. Because of this, he ends up getting bloated, his stomach distending enough to stretch the buttons on his vest. Ed//die has to be the one to rub the farts out of him, since Ed//die's the only one he's comfortable farting around. But he does get embarrassed when he needs help. But Ed//die doesn't mind. His gas usually gets held in a lot, so it's usually very long, like *Fffppplbbblllrrrrrt!* sounding a little wet and a little airy. Sometimes he'll try to *ahem* spread his cheeks to fart quieter, but sometimes that only makes it come out more wet sounding. If you wanted him to fart on you, it's gonna require a lot of convincing. But if he knows this is your thing, he'll happily do it, but only if you don't talk about it afterwards (unless you want to fluster him).

Number 4: Ed//die De//ar💌

Such a clumsy, scatterbrained mailman, I can't imagine it's easy for him to hold in his farts. Anytime he needs to, it just happens no matter what, and leaves his face burning with shame (but Fra//nk thinks it's kind of cute). He'll be holding a huge stack of packages and a huge fart, and trust me, neither of those are gonna be held for long despite his efforts (poor guy). They're not much, just little *BRRRRT!* or *FLRRRRRBBBBTTT!* mainly from his jeans. They do stink pretty bad though. But it's ok cause he's shame free about it around Fra//nk. If you wanted him to fart on you, he'd be a little awkward about it at first, but he'd still comply. He'd be more comfy lying on his stomach with your face in his butt, since he'd be scared of crushing you.

Number 5: Pop//py Par//tri//dge🦚

Ooh, the resident worrywart. She's the kind to think she's got something deeply wrong with her when her stomach hurts, only to be relieved (in both ways) if it's just gas. Like Wa//lly's, they're quiet and airy, but have a slight sound and only last one to two seconds, like *Ffft.* and *Ppprrt.* and they gently blow the strings on her apron. They also smell a lot like bird seed, since that's what she mostly eats. She'll also often wave her wing behind her after each one, despite how little they stink. She's very close to Sa//lly and Fra//nk, but its still hard to get comfortable farting around them. When asked to fart on you, she'll need heavy convincing just like Fra//nk, but when she's comfortable enough, she'll be gentle with you. She's a big bird after all.

Number 6: How//dy Pi//ll//ar🐛

Oh jeez, it's almost like we're talking about Ba//rn//aby again, except it's not as bad (but they're still pretty bad, trust me). I feel like it's implied he's vegan (he's a caterpillar so...) so I imagine he mainly has veggie fueled farts. They're not as potent as Ba//rn//aby's but they're still very stinky and powerful, and blow his apron strings so hard, they twist together, something like *BRRRRRPPPPPPRRRTT!* He's only really comfortable farting around Ba//rn//aby (who I imagine have fart contests together). He tries to keep his farts from slipping so as to not scare off his customers, but it's hard when all you eat is leaves. But it's mainly to keep the customers around. If he wasn't in his store, he'd be a little more comfortable farting in public. When asked to fart on you, How//dy would totally go for it, even if he does think it's a little weird. He'll even make a deal with you that if you can sit through his smelly farts while standing the weight of his body, you get a 50% off discount at his bodega.

Number 7: Ju//lie Joy//ful🌺

Being a rainbow monster, I feel like she actually has lovely scented, fragrant farts. Like the smell of strawberries or lovely flowers. It just seems like something a rainbow monster would do, but I like to think certain foods (maybe eggs or dairy) can turn her farts rotten. Her fragrant farts can be used to set a pleasant aroma in the air if there's no incense to use, and if she farts on a wilted plant, it'll be revived. Because of this, she's 100% confident farting in public, it doesn't matter who it is she's around. Sometimes her farts flutter her dress, being a little forceful and not as gentle as you may think. Farts typically sound like *Ffrrrrrraaaapppp!* a little wet, a little loud, and mainly high pitched (sometimes they hurt Ba//rn's ears). If you want her to fart on you, it won't be much trouble. She's totally down to endow you with her flowery scent and leave you feeling fresh.

Finally number 8: Sa//lly Star//let☀️

Let's end this long post with a bang. Sa//lly's a star, stars are made of gases, stars are also hot, therefore, Sa//lly has some loud, hot bubblers, like *SPPLLLRRRRBBBBBRRRRTTTSH!* and she has them a lot. But you'd never notice cause she's an expert in hiding her farts. No one's ever heard her fart (except maybe Pop//py), and if anyone heard it, they would never think it would come from Sa//lly. And when I say hot, anything she sits and farts on is left feeling hot to the touch. It's pretty embarrassing for her, even in private, considering the star she is, and believes she is. She also gets some pretty bad stomach aches from holding it a lot, but she won't dare go to anyone to relieve the pain. She'd much rather do it herself, even if it takes a while. Her farts are also full of helium so she's able to inflate balloons with her farts. And if you do want her to fart on you, you better be ready to be yelled at for even requesting something so disgusting. You'd have to either piss her off enough to warrant such punishments, or hide in her dressing room and wait for her to blow off some hot steam. Just be prepared for the room to get hot and stinky, and for your voice to get higher in pitch

Ahh, to be with a gassy puppet! Sorry this post was so long, but your message made me so excited, so I just had to get these headcanons out. I might release more headcanons soon, but they'll be more situational based and not general like this one. Anyway, thanks for the post! Currently thinking about the neighbors all farting around me in a circle, all the different smells and sounds ringing out... it's nice hehe

I'm so glad we're talking about fanfic with short readers cause like-

Some of them make me wheeze cause they'll write somethin like "His marveled at her petite size and how his hands could almost touch while resting on her waist"

Baby doll

I am a 5'7, 205 pound woman who not only did weightlifting and ROTC in Highschool but also regularly helped some of the local fisherman hang gators for skinning. I'm built like a linebacker with a southern attitude to match. There ain't a single petite bone in my body.

But no yeah, I totally relate to...not being able to reach the shelf. /s

This is why I do my best to try and keep my pov characters inclusive! My biggest sin is that I have the boys picking up the reader often, but I truly believe those motherfuckers can lift anyone no problem.

Honestly all x reader is going to be wish fulfillment and I don't wanna yuck anyone's yum but some things just take me out of it.

#ghoul speaks #my reader pov isnt perfect by any measure but im doing my best #i want everyone to be able to put themselves into the pov

[redhead-reporter]

PSSST, guys, i'll tell you an rpc secret !

your blog is YOUR blog. you can follow or not follow whoever you want. no one is gonna FORCE you to write with a character if you don't wanna, relax.

but you also don't have to ADVERTISE your (arbitrary, excessively rigid, and exclusionary) rules to the entire dash just to yuck someone else's yum. you shouldn't feel SUPERIOR to anyone because you're adapting pre-existing work and they're starting from scratch. lord knows i've seen much better developed OCs on this hellsite than a LOT of the fan fave canons ever were in their own source material.

tl;dr - if you're gonna GATEKEEP this hobby because you feel entitled to privileges you wanna withhold from others simply based on the fact that your character is from a published work? and it's not even YOUR published work?

that's WEIRDO shit.

#anyways that's what you missed on glee. back to drafts! #º ✧ 。 i’m still out but i’ll grab some stuff at the store ooc shit
