I Hate To Be That Guy, But I've Been Noticing A Majority Of Ghost X Reader Fics Are Written For Female

We need a new term for Stockholm Syndrome because as a concept, in fictional stories especially, it is GREAT.

You get kidnapped/taken hostage and obviously at the start youre scared/angry/etc but then you slowly get to know your keeper over the course of your imprisonment and you start falling in love with them in spite of everything????? A+ concept.

But!!!!! The dude who coined Stockholm Syndrome did it to discredit the testimony of a hostage who was pissed at police for being reckless with her life. The hostage was like "the police nearly fucking killed me. The dudes who took me prisoner weren't as cavalier with my life as the damn cops were!!! Does that say something or what!!!" And the cops were mad that their behaviour was called into question, so they had one of their guys claim that the traumatic experience had messed with her mind and caused her to develop affections for those who took her captive. No!! That's not what happened at all!! It's just that the cops sucked way worse than the captors did!!!!

So like, "Stockholm Syndrome" actually means "i am justifiably angry, because the people who were supposed to be rescuing me were less concerned with safeguarding my life than those who took me captive in the first place, and That's Fucked Up"

Therefore, since Stockholm Sydrome is taken, we need a new term for "I got kidnapped and fell in love with my captor against my better judgement."

Any suggestions?

I think I’ve officially outgrown tumblr fanfics, it’s hard to find decent new stuff that isn’t just another smau full of poorly written characters that are nothing like their original personalities. For fandoms like Jujutsu Kaisen all the men are written like Toji=mean+horny, Sukuna=mean+less horny, Gojo=teasing+horny with little to any more depth. Or like Tokyo Revengers where most of the guys are given the same personality depending on if they’re categorized as confident or quiet. Then they make all dom-leaning characters talk with a forced accent that they definitely do not have, sometimes it’s a blaccent other times it’s a lot of “gi’me” instead of give me or “ya” instead of you. Its gotten to a point where they straight up just won’t say full words and I cannot describe the visceral ick it gives me lol. Don’t get me wrong I’ve been able to find good stuff on here before and I don’t doubt that there are good writers in these fandoms, it’s just getting harder to come by. I stopped using Wattpad for similar poor writing and it’s sad to see it happening here now.

Edit: I don’t plan on replying to the ppl reblogging this bc most of them are not approaching the conversation with the same level of maturity as I have.

If you think that having a blank blog means that you’re not able to give criticism as a reader then you’re just wrong idk what to tell you. That’s the reality that comes with writing and posting your work, that by no means justifies stuff like harassment or bullying, but that’s clearly not what I’ve done. Sorry if you took my opinions personally bc you have a 👀certain👀 taste in fanfic and smut tho lol

Hello!!! I was wondering for a request could you possibly do a male hashira reader that’s taller then Rengoku and it could be fluff where they finally have a day off and cuddle and instead of Rengoku giving the reader love the male reader gives him love instead which flusters tf outta him ?

a/n: writing this was so fun, i hope you like it! its been a while since i wrote a oneshot so my writing skills are still a bit rusty but this was so cute to write 🥰💕

My Sunflower 🌻

word count: 768

It was a beautiful fall morning. You had just opened your eyes after a peaceful nights sleep. Insticts told you to put on your uniform and wait for your crow to give orders, until you realized that this was your day off. You were able to relax for once and not have to worry constantly about the lives of others. Not only that, but your boyfriend was off-duty too. He was still recovering from a leg injury he sustained during a mission the week prior. Which means you would share this entire day with him, something the both of you haven’t had in over a year.

It was peaceful. The morning sunlight was shining through the sliding door you left ajar the night before. Your tired eyes wandered to the sleeping form of your boyfriend, Kyojuro. His golden yellow and red hair seemed to glow in the sunlight, like burning flames. Even in his sleep, he seemed to shine like the sun itself. The thought made you smile fondly.

You gently moved the hand that was on his waist to his face, softly brushing a lock of his hair behind his ear. You saw him stir in his sleep, his brows furrowing slightly. You cursed yourself for being careless, but relaxed when a soft, gentle smile appeared on his face. His eyes opened slowly, making red and yellow meet (eye color). It made your heart absolutely melt, he was so breathtaking in all the right ways.

“Good morning, love.” he said with a sweet smile. His voice was deep and slightly gruff from sleep but it was still so gentle and soft like silk. It honestly felt like you were falling in love with him all over again.

“Good morning, my little sunflower..” you said fondly as you used the same hand that moved his hair to cup his cheek, softly rubbing your thumb back and forth across his cheekbone.

Normally, you weren’t one to use nicknames like that. It was mainly Kyojuro that came up with cute petnames that would make you smile and sometimes even laugh but, every now and then you would call him sweet things and every time it would make him blush like crazy.

A pink blush dusted Kyojuro’s cheeks at both your words and gesture. His eyes slightly widened in surprise before he broke out into a smile and let out a hearty laugh.

“You’re certainly in a good mood this morning!” he teased, a blush still present on his face.

You laughed and sat up. “How could I not be? I get to spend the whole day with you, my love.” you said softly, leaning down and peppering kisses all over his face which made him laugh and blush even more. You loved his smile so much, so seeing him so happy made your heart feel like it could explode.

Kyojuro was about as red as a tomato now, and when you pulled away after giving him one last kiss on the lips, he tried to cover his blush with his hand. You giggled at his reaction and gently took the hand that was covering his face into your own.

“You don’t have to hide your blush from me, Kyo. I think you look so beautiful with it” you said with a loving smile. Kyojuro felt like his heart was going to burst out of his chest, he had no words. All he could do was look at you with both surprise and passion.

You gave his forehead and soft kiss and began to stand, walking over to your wardrobe to change out of your pajamas. “Are you hungry? I’ll make us some food because I am starving.”

Kyojuro sat up, wincing slightly as pain shot up his injured leg. He smiled as if he didn’t feel a thing “Allow me to help you!” he offered.

You raised an eyebrow at him. “Kyo, your leg is still injured. I’m not letting you move a muscle until you’re better, or at least until you take the painkillers Kocho gave you.”

Before he could protest he was suddenly being lifted into your arms bridal style. He let out a noise of surprise as you carried him with ease. “But, I do like your company so you can be in the kitchen with me, if you so wish.” you said with a smile.

Kyojuro laughed in defeat, he knew he wasn’t going to win this battle. He rested his head on your broad chest and gave you a sweet smile. “I would love that, (Y/N).”

i love the concept of black readers. i love black ocs in fanfiction. i love that there's just some mini spaces for black fans. too much anti-blackness, white-centering, white favorism and lack of care for black fans in fanfiction and fandoms. there's always so little of xblk!readers or blk ocs but i'm so comforted by the fact that there is some readers, ocs, and people i can relate too.

i love that there's so much more people than i thought that don't just relate to me when it comes to culture, but relates to me when it comes to the awareness of fandom and fanfiction anti-black issues.

which is why its always sad bae hours when you realize there's no xblk!reader fics in your fandom, no fics with any black!ocs in your fandom, no black!reader various-fandom collections with your fandom in it, or even barely any black writers in your fandom.

and even when you're the people doing pumping out content for black readers and/or make safe spaces for black fans, it can get so lonely knowing you're one of the only ones.

if that's what happen to you; i hear you loud and clear hun. currently going through that as well. just know there's other black fans that relate to you. the struggles are real but you'll get through it, maybe, eventually. and even if you don't, its okay.

Shout out to all the black fans with no reader fics you'll relate to.

Shout out to all the black fans that keep pushing through the anti-blackness and lack of care for them in the fandom.

Shout out to all the black fans that write xblackreader fics or black oc fics nobody else in your fandom ever does.

Shout out to all the black fans that have no space for other black fans in their fandom.

Shout out to all the black writers or fans that gave up in looking for content for them to relate to, or gave up in creating black!oc or black!reader fanfiction for the sake of themselves and/or others can relate to; you've done well, you deserve as much credit as black fans that currently contribute to black representation in fandoms. you didn't give up, you were tired. and that's okay.

Shout out to all the black fans that moved to another fandom because of the lack of black spaces, black fans or black writers. It's always so tiring and disappointing knowing your old fandom have none of what your new fandom has; but at least in your new fandom you may feel more appreciated and accepted.

black fans and writers deserve to be respected and appreciated.

Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/

Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/

Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel

Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one

You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them

Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture

If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already

Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything

Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything

See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.

Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare

KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.

I don't know what's going on. I want to be neutral, but I want to be masculine, but not a man. I want to be feminine, but I don't want to have boobs. I want to be flat, but I don't want nipples. I want people to call me Janelle Monae, but I don't want them to call me a woman. I want to have a beard, but nothing manly down there. I want to wear dresses and binders and chain earrings and chokers and suits.

I want to be other. I want people to see me and think "is that a guy or a girl". I want to confuse them. Like my gender is a secret, and not one.

Calling myself trans feels right, but...what am I transitioning to?

Ok I feel like we don’t really get into what sex-repulsion can look like when discussing aspec experiences.

For a long time I thought sex-repulsed was the stereotypical “ew sex is gross” stuff that gets perpetuated. For years I struggled. I called myself sex-favorable because I was all for being sex positive, offering comprehensive sex ed, discussing sex, viewing erotica, etc. At this time I got into relationships with allo people and there were intense feelings gnawing out. I didn’t mind talking about sex as a concept or between other people but the minute I was placed in a sexual context I would get the ick.

It took me so long to realize that this was sex repulsion, because I thought it needed to be grandiose and intense. I still feel weird identifying myself as sex-repulsed because I don’t want people to assume I was against sexual freedom. I feel like we need to do more to challenge the notion that being sex repulsed is inherently anti-sex and let know people know that’s being sex repulsed isn’t a shameful thing, it’s just a piece of you.

Don't forget about the Palestinians.

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.
