Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.

"guys I do not condone any of this in real life" "this is fiction" "consent is key. this is only fiction" "murder is bad irl" — I wish fanfic authors didn't feel like they had to clarify this in author's notes or else they might be accused of being abusers or worse (I admit that such disclaimers are also something I personally use for my own stuff because I feel like I had to make it clear). like... people used to not care if an author wrote dead dove fics because people used to understand that ao3 fics are not a reflection of someone's in real life views or morality in any way. people used to understand that fanfics mean what they mean; fan fiction. none of it is real. maybe it's purity culture that normalizes witch hunt and censorship in the past couple years, and therefore authors feel like they have to clarify that just because they write about violence or noncon stuff doesn't mean they're murderers or sex offenders in real life. and I think it sucks that these things (purity and cancel culture?) have made authors feel like they have to apologize for the art they created instead of being proud of their hard work and all the dedication they put into creating these art. artists should not have to feel like they have to apologize for creating art that isn't all rainbow and sunshine. artists should not have to be made to feel ashamed of their own art if it's not all rainbow and sunshine.

I don’t agree with the “you can write noncon and dark fics as long as you make sure your readers get the message that these things are bad” or “you can write noncon and dark fics if it’s your way of coping with your trauma” take either. because writers do not owe you anything. the message writers want to send to their readers — whatever that message may be, if there’s any message or moral of the story for readers to take from the stories at all — is none of your business. why writers write what they write is none of your business. remember “don’t like don’t read”. no one forces you to read anything you don’t like. dark and noncon fics are a form of creative writing and creative writing is a form of art. you can’t pressure artists into creating art that “fit your moral compass” nor can you apply your own moral compass to artists to determine if they can create dark art or not, if their reasoning behind creating dark art passes your moral compass. like… what artists create and why artists create are none of your business. and you don’t get to shame artists for creating art that you hate / art that disgusts you. what you can do is ignore the art because it clearly was not made for you and that’s okay. what isn’t okay is you harassing artists because you don’t like the things they created.

writers, embrace and be proud of your works. as long as all the trigger warnings are tagged properly, you have nothing to apologize for.

If anyone would like to follow on Wattpad, I'd love to be moots there as well! I don't write often, but I do have one book that's ongoing and recent which screenshots are above ^^

Domain Expansion Ideas

I hope to god I did this shit right 😅

Name: Covenant Under Bloodshed

Appearance: The domain looks like a forest clearing with leaves flowing like rivers of blood. In the center of the clearing stands a young fawn, covered in blood, with sharp fangs.

Ability: "Bleeding Embrace"

Any object or person within the domain is imbued with a cursed energy that causes them to bleed profusely, and the blood lost strengthens the fawn, giving it increased power and speed.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Name: "Consecration of Sacrifice"

Appearance: The domain takes the form of a grandiose church building, with stained glass windows depicting lambs. A pure white lamb stands at the center altar.

Domain Expansion Ability: "Atonement of the Innocent"

This domain traps its opponents in a sacrificial ceremony. The lamb's purity and innocence cause negative emotions to be temporarily suppressed within the domain, making it difficult for opponents to draw on their cursed energy. During this time, the lamb can use its purity to weaken and harm them.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Name: "Carnal Indulgence"

Appearance: This domain expansion takes the form of a dark and twisted forest with blood-soaked trees, and a clearing in the middle resembling a grotesque banquet.

Domain Expansion Ability: "Fated Consumption"

Any individual caught within the domain experiences a cursed energy that intensifies the desire for primal instincts and carnal desires. While within the domain, the target loses their sense of self-preservation and will fight with a reckless abandonment, fueled by the urge to consume others.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Domain Name: "Deception and Disguise"

Appearance: The domain takes the form of a peaceful meadow bordered by dense forest surroundings. Within the meadow, a lone sheep stands among several wolves, appearing harmless and nonthreatening. However, the true nature of the sheep is concealed within this deceptive facade.

Domain Expansion Ability: "Masked Predation"

Those caught within the domain are unable to ascertain the true intentions of the sheep disguised as a harmless creature. While the opponents are misled and distracted by the deceptive appearance, the sheep, being the actual threat, uses its concealed power to manipulate and harm them.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Name: "Garden of Eden's Folly"

Appearance: The domain takes the form of a verdant garden, filled with colorful flora and fauna. In the center, a forbidden tree stands tall, reminiscent of the biblical Garden of Eden.

Domain Expansion Ability: "Original Sin"

Those caught within the domain are bound by a cursed energy that reflects the concept of the original sin. This could manifest in various ways, such as feelings of guilt, shame, or remorse, as well as a strong desire to defy authority or rebel against perceived restrictions.

"DID YOU KNOW THIS PERSON DRAWS PORN I AM CLUTCHING MY PEARLS" cool i am blocking you

Seth Clearwater Headcannons!

MLM, Seth x male reader/character. Over general; Friends, Partners (Human, Shifter, and Vampire), when his imprint occurs, showing you he's a Shifter (If you/character are human)

Friends

Definitely a bubbly, happy boy/man when y'all meet whether it's in town, on the Res, or in the woods.

A lot friendlier to you before Leah, eventually she'll just accept that you're around her little brother.

Always taking you on adventures. Whether that's cliff jumping, hiking, or just hanging out with you.

If you lived on the Res, he'd definitely help you with homework, studying, have lunch with you, and showing you around (The pack would tease him for being a lovesick puppy before he even knew he had feelings for you)

Weekends were filled with movie nights, beach hangouts, bonfires. Even if you were a vamp, the pack would slowly welcome you since Sethy boy was infatuated (even if he refused to admit it)

His Imprint on you

The day it finally happens, its probably during a hike or a bonfire.

He totally has no clue what to do about it, and the pack doesn't help with the teasing.

He was around you even more afterwards unless he had pack business to do.

Poor boy got awkward a lot, especially if you two were at the Res, cause his thoughts weren't allowed privacy since the others could hear it.

Wasn't the type to get jealous, but protective? You can hang it up if you were being reckless, vamp, human, or another shifter

If you were a Shifter, he'd be blocking you out so damn hard so you didn't get a hint of his feelings.

One night, he was walking you home, said fuck it and kissed you and mumbled about how he imprinted on you (if you're a Shifter), or he'd say he couldn't keep it together anymore with you around.

Partners

I see Seth being a person with the love languages of physical touch and doing things for you.

He'd love to spoil you (mostly in small gifts he made or things he'd find in the woods he knows you'd like)

Already wants to be your husband, he doesn't care if its new

Loves coming home to you, being the man you want or need

Such a huge green flag of a partner

If you're a vamp, he'd just have to adjust to you not sleeping or eating, but would keep an eye on your blood stash to make sure you weren't getting low on animal blood

If human or Shifter, he'd enjoy watching you cook and probably would love any and everything you made.

Pack already believes y'all are married, doesn't matter if there's rings or not

Leah is more welcoming since there's not much she could do about an imprint, so she learns to trust, even a little.

Showing you he's a Shifter (if you're human)

Gets very weird quickly since he kinda just mumbles about showing you something and you cant freak out before getting just about buttnaked

Waits till you come to him when he changes to his big ole Wolfy body

Is very nervous you'll just run away from him

You, poor thing, are confused but there's big puppy, how could you not pet him?

He loves the attention and won't admit it

Gets coined "Wolfy" by you, acts like he hates the name but secretly loves it

Will often get you to climb on and run around the woods

Twilight coded. Especially the scene where they touch hands in his car and she gasps like she lost something and says he's freezing 🥶

having poor circulation is great because people will touch your hand and go 'oh! you're so cold!' and for a moment you get to experience what it's like to be a vampire in a romance novel

✨️Tummy✨️

what's the point of huge thick thighs and a big ass if she doesn't even have fucking tummy you people make me sick
