Tip for trans men or really anyone AFAB buying male boxers.

You need to get them a size bigger. Female body shapes are different then men, meaning you will carry more fat or muscle in the thighs, which also means that they will probs roll up and it's uncomfortable. You can try your normal size if they're too big, but if they are rolling up, getting a bigger size is okay and it's nothing to do with your weight, it's just the difference in body shapes (which doesn't make you less of a man.)

Hello. How are you ? I'm marriane what's your name and where are you from ?

Hi, I'm alright, I'm from America, and my name's Luke. 👍

Snirius trope where after a 'prank', Snape kinda freaks out. For some reason, it hits a nerve, it hurts him. Cue Snape having a panic attack or on the verge of one, and Sirius stumbles across him. At first, he makes a joke or two, poking fun, but once he realizes how freaked out Snape is, he stops.

Snape tells him to go away, but he doesn't care. He sits next to him, walking him through breathing exercises, leaving after he calmed down.

Or

He doesn't leave after he calms down. He stays and realizes just how much damage he's doing, just how much this all affects him, and apologizes.

OR

James, Remus, Peter, wtv, someone discovers him helping Snape calm down, and continues to poke fun at Snape or something like that, and Sirius just tells them to fuck off, and then continuing to help him calm down.

Trans Peter Parker headcanons because I said so??

When they find out, everyone else is confused, Thor and Loki are completely normal. Thor simply asks if he called Peter something else today, but Peter says no, and he's just like 'alr, cool.' Loki is trying to give him tips on shape shifting, thinking that maybe he just ran into a hit of a mistake, and when he learns that it wasn't shape shifting, he gags and dramatically fawns over him 'Oh you poor thing!' And then does an illusion or something.

There's definitely a confused yet supportive Steve and Bucky, just shouting 'IT'S HE NOT SHE! HE'S TRANSLUCENT' To everyone who misgenders him.

When everyone finds out, Tony is laughing in the corner because he was the only one who knew, and now he gets to watch this drama unfold. Natasha is so dumbfounded as to how she didn't find out, and Clint gives him a dad speech.

Sam completely ignores it, but asks him casually if he's supposed to call him something else, and then also corrects everyone who gets his pronouns wrong.

Bruce to immediately starts working on a testosterone that wouldn't burn through his metabolism, since it's artificial.

The first time someone calls him a slur around the team, Peter is used to it, but the Avengers aren't, so Steve and Bucky are shouting, Sam having to hold them both back, while also correcting them. Natasha and Loki are in the corner planning murder, Tony is angrily shouting at him, already calling his lawyers and threatening to sue or something, Thor is spinning his Hammer, Bruce is turning green and doing yoga in the corner, Clint is pulling a dad and angrily shouting at him while tapping his foot disapprovingly while Peter is just like 'Wtf'

Hello

Hello! 👋

Whumpish trope thing

Whumpee just went through something terrible and doesn't want to let go of caretaker, literally cannot stand to be outside of their embrace since they were rescued. For some reason (you decide) they need to be taken away or out of their arms. Whumpee is screaming, sobbing, maybe even ripping out their hair or acting utterly hysterical, doing anything to get back to them, because that's their safety.

Caretaker is trying to calm Whumpee down, trying to get them to understand that they need to go or need to let go, but they can't.

The best example I have of this is in Infinity war when Peter is begging not to go, clinging onto Tony.

If I make a joke about my home life, your reaction should not be "Oh my gosh, so sorry! Reach out, get better!" Your reaction should be "Oh my gosh, could never be me. Lol, skill issue, tbh."

Everyone always talks about imagining scenes and not being able to write them, but have you ever had the opposite happen? Cause it's literally me 24/7.

I'll be in the mood to write, having a general idea of what I want, and I can't stop writing, but I also can't keep thinking of things. The last time this happened, I didn't stop for 2 whole days, didn't sleep. Wrote while writing, wrote while crying, literally all day, but I just kept rewriting cause I physically couldn't think of other scenes.

There shouldn't be THIS many rules for fanfiction. "Only read & write on AO3, must be in character and canon compliant if it's not an Au, Perfect grammar, etc" It takes that fun out of it, man.

Idc what you write. It could be the most jaw dropping, pearl clutching, disgusting, dehumanizing, most out of character, criminal stuff. As long as you put a disclaimer that "Hey! This has some unhealthy dynamics, should NEVER happen irl!" It's okay! (I mean, I won't read it personally, but that's fine!)

Upload it wherever. Put it on Wattpad, or AO3, and ff.net, doesn't matter! Read wherever you want. Yeah, I want an algorithm because it's a hobby, so I read on Wattpad a lot, but sometimes I'll also read on ff.net.

It can be out of character, too. It could be the worst interpretation out there, and I wouldn't care. I wouldn't read it, but it's fine. Make one of them a hunk and the other helpless. It's not my cup of tea, but it's fine if it's yours!

Add those weird triggers you want, put in the rare pair, make it out of character, upload it everywhere, IDC. As long as there's a disclaimer for harmful content, it doesn't affect anything!

In summary: Stop adding rules to fanfic and then telling people to write what they want. Do whatever you want as long as there's a disclaimer for harmful content. It's literally a hobby, keep being fun with it.

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

All fanfic writers and writers everywhere: "Who the fuck do you think I wrote it for?!"
