and then to argue, after alllllll of the moments we see cassian exert power of nesta THAT NESTA is the abusive one in that dynamic?????? where? so -- nesta -- the woman who (1) repeatedly asked for cassian to leave her alone (2) who kneed him in the balls bc he was trying to lick her neck (3) who followed her home when she asked him NOT too, (4) was locked in a house and had everything down to the food she ate and the clothes she wore picked out by HIM. (5) was attracted to that beast of a man bc of a mating bond that HE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT and was then locked in a house with this man with those emotions she cannot control
THAT IS THE ABUSIVE ONE???
the woman who literally tried for months to get away from this man, going so far as to live across town and cut contact with him.
but somehow she's being abusive when she's told multiple times she not interested in him, in the fae world???? insanity.
like if u want to make those arguments abt feyre and her sisters having a bad relationship. go ahead, thats your place
but to argue this abt nesta and cassian, to even imply NESTA as the aggressor is crazy and i think yall are losing it here.
okay but like a soft dom who tells you to ask politely for what you want and tells you to use your words not because you have to earn it or they’ll deny you, but because they want so badly to give you what you want and want you to know you deserve to want. soft doms who want to give you anything and everything they just need you to tell them because they can’t read your mind. they never want to deny you, or humiliate you for what you want, they just want you to learn to voice your wants and needs without shame, even the ones that feel vulnerable. soft doms who tell you to use your words because they’re going to praise the hell out of you for setting boundaries and voicing your desires because you deserve to have them just as much as anyone else. they want you to get comfortable with asking because they want to give you every last thing your heart desires.
some of you are a little too pretty to be on tumblr i think you should be luring people to their watery demise instead
Fuck all love letters except whatever Cardan Greenbriar had going on when he wrote “my heart is buried with you in the strange soil of the mortal world, as it was drowned with you in the cold waters of the undersea. it was yours before i could admit it, and yours it shall ever remain”
person a: hallejahoohah!
person b: do you mean hallelujah?
You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium
Oh dear.
Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.
Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number--deleted the fandom specific elements--, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)
BUT

Hoi I love your works and stories. I would love to write boba fett but have no idea how. Any tips for first time boba fett writers ?
ksjflfjfdksujslfj anon thank you so much 💖🥹😭
I am but an untrained, babey writer myself but I can tell you how I crafted my approach to writing Boba!
Step 1, be obsessed with Boba Fett since childhood, grow up, rediscover your love for him and Temuera Morrison as a slightly unhinged adult.
What hopefully is not just pure rambling below the cut
I watched The Mandalorian (specifically Boba's episodes in season 2) and TBOBF a concerning amount of times, and scoured Tumblr/AO3 for fics of our fav green tin can man. Got comfy with the character, figured out what drives him, what his motivations are, what his worldview and outlook are like. Essentially, my process boiled down to the following:
Immerse myself in the source content
Read, read, read & comment, comment, comment
Talking to the authors who inspired me (like you're doing now!)
Just started writing any and everything that came to me
Read some more, commented some more
Kept writing, saved everything
Got feedback
Now obviously everyone will have their own interpretations of a character, but to me, much of Boba's outlook and personality are defined by the death of his father. He is an intelligent boy raised with love by one of the galaxy's best bounty hunters, who teaches him not only about survival but also honor, respect, and personal responsibility. Jango was far from perfect (as we all are) but he did genuinely love his son and didn't hide that from Boba.
Besides the obvious trauma of seeing his father beheaded in front of him, Boba experienced a lifetime of further trauma that would have easily made him go back on what his father instilled in him. He was angry and he was alone during this time, his motivations being centered in anger and inexorable control (as seen in his drive to keep his reputation as a hunter stellar). To him, others were a liability, caring about anyone would only lead to pain. Boba burned bright and hot, but ultimately this path was not sustainable.
After the sarlacc and his time with the Tuskens, Boba was able to grow past the shadow of his father's death--there were different ways to honor his father than just being the best. He could heal himself, lead with respect and principles that harken back to his grandfather's code (whether he knows that or not), live a life that didn't have to end on some pointless job for the galaxy's scum. Boba relearned the importance of clan, that one cannot face this existence alone. Daimyo Boba now burns strong and even, fed by hearty logs rather than dry kindling.
Some posts I found helpful in characterizing Boba:

There's obvs many more but these are the ones I could find again
I hope this was what you were looking for (and coherent lmao) and best of luck with your writing! We all can't wait to see what you come up with for our beloved Boba 💚
No pressure tags if some of these other Boba writers (and anyone else!) want to add anything to this: @rexxdjarin @thefact0rygirl @saradika @acatalystrising @thirsty-boba-fett-posts @bobathirstaccount @deewithani @writingwintermoon
I'm the type of person to destroy myself with knowledge.. needing to know exactly how something happened, even if its gruesome. So when nesta looked into the dead eyes of the king I felt that

“As an older sister I will never forgive Nesta-“
To every Rhysand stan that can’t leave Nesta fans alone for even five minutes:
Rhysand rules over an apartheid state, literally enforcing segregation and gender discrimination to the point of physical mutilation.
Rhysand neglects two thirds of his court and not even then is the one third free of slums while he’s drowning in wealth.
Rhysand is a sexual abuser that doesn’t give a fuck about women he’s not in love with or that are not of use to him in any way besides cannon fodder.
Women under his rule are violently abused, se****** assaulted, mutilated, killed, oppressed, poor, discriminated against.
THAT is forgivable to you?
Or has it only ever been about the man, about self-inserting yourself into the story? If yes, don’t talk about morals.
I've seen some nerve-racking 10k fics that don't have the cut and in their worst, they're also full of media like "this is a picture of what you're wearing, this is the view you're seeing from your hotel room, here's a gif how x looks at you in this scene" = Tumblr app struggles to load that wall of text and media and then Tumblr app crashes and when asked to put the cut, people are like "I'm on mobile and can't put the cut" so here's a little tutorial video for you guys.
I know this is a problem with all characters but tagging some popular ones to gain exposure for this post.
pearletta - 19 - bd: 02/28/04 - she/her - all women are goddesses - star wars (f the sequels), percy jackson, harry potter (f jkr), the belles (underrated), marvel, twilight (only putting this here bc i LIVE for trash talking twilight), acotar (nesta motherfuckin' archeron supremecy!), the song of achilles (don't even get me started i love this book so much), and numerous other fandoms! -
