REMEMBER KIDS !!   some very important relationships are PLATONIC.   some are maternal, paternal, friendships, siblingships.   they do not all have to revolve around romantic/sexual attraction.   please don’t ever think that i wouldn’t write with you if you didn’t want to bring a romantic/sexual ship to the table. I LOVE PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS.   THEY ARE UNDERRATED, UNDER EXPLORED, AND LOOKED PAST WAY TOO OFTEN.    THEY CAN BE THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP TO A CHARACTER.   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

She watches contently as Thor begins to thread to the remaining survivors, checking for any serious injuries. Amongst those who remain are Steve and Natasha. Instinctively, they all begin to do the same as Thor, tending to any serious issues. For the most part people were just confused, the occasional bleeding wound. That’s where Juniper came in. Her healing powers were sufficient enough to heal up all of the major injuries that people presented with.

“Okay, I think that is all the injured.” She says, wiping her hands off on her black jeans.

Once again, she watches as the Asgardian prince asks everyone if they are okay, much sincerity laced in his voice. It came naturally to him, probably from the manner in which he was raised.

Thor helped where he could, helping get everyone inside the compound to assess the number of casualties. When night fell, everyone was given quarters and Thor found his way to the roof, where he sat on the edge and stared out at the land, eyes glancing up at the sky as well. The toll had been vast and he hoped he could find the strength to continue the fight where he and his brother had left off. “Father…mother…Loki…” he said, staring at the sky. “Give me strength from Valhalla, there is still another battle to fight.”

His fingers traced every inch of Peter they could reach, desperate to familiarise themselves with the man he’d been craving for months. It never took Tristan this long to get what he wanted, but that had only made him want this all the more. “Mm.” He groaned against Peter’s lips, smirk on his own as he looked up at him. “I think I’m ready. Depends on just ‘ow good you are tonight, doesn’t it?” Teasing as always, words laced with sarcasm. He laughed at the compliment, flushing under his makeup, hand coming to move over the bruises Peter was leaving on him. Always one to want to please, he did as he was told and raked his nails against the man’s flesh again, harder this time, and his body shivered as Peter finally touched him. “Fuck. I never want to feel anythin’ else ever again.”

Peter gave a little smirk, the look predatory as he took in Tristan’s form. He teased his fingers around the other man, humming softly. “I bet you make the prettiest sounds.” he practically purred, eyes shimmering between their natural blue and the searing red of his wolf. “Be a dear and make them for me while I ravage you?” he inquired, nuzzling at the dip of Tristan’s hip as he finally wrapped his hand securely along the hard length, stroking it slowly.

I just got an ask requested to be answered privately about how to deal with a negative comment on a fic and I thought I’d answer it in a post because idk how private answers work with long messages. 

(I won’t tag you but you know who you are) 

About Negative Commenters on fics::

I’d tell them to fuck off and go write their own story and feel free to block you on their way out the door so they don’t accidentally read any of your fics again.

You don’t need readers like that.

Or you know, less aggressively because maybe you aren’t as big of a bitch as I am, you could just delete the comment and move on.

The problem is, there’s always someone out there that has a personal issue with a specific character. When I was writing Pirates Heart I got hate mail because so many anti-Steve people wanted Bucky and Tony to run away together and leave Steve behind. I get nasty comments about writing Tony as the hero of my stories. I get told my AU’s are super out of character and terrible writing.

Someone will always have shit-all to say about anything, and if you take it personal it will ruin your whole writing experience, but I understand how difficult it is to let those things go.

Delete the comment, and if it was via tumblr, block them. You don’t need readers like that and if that’s how they are going to comment, just block them because they will probably do it again. You don’t have to feel bad about basically booting a negative person out the door, I literally do it at least once a day for various reasons ranging from a shitty comment on my writing to them reblogging something ick.

If it was on AO3, turn on “comment moderation” and “disable anonymous comments” function because then not only do you get to approve/reject comments before anyone else sees them, but then only registered AO3 users can comment on your work anyway

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from writing online, its that everyone is super brave about their comments when they can hide behind anonymous and once they can’t hide behind it anymore, they shut the hell up. Turning off your “anon asks” on Tumblr takes care of alot of bullshit too.

Does this help? Idk if this helps. 

I hate people who leave negative comments, they piss me off and are promptly blocked on my blog, I have zero tolerance.

I’ve literally never left a comment that wasn’t along the lines of “THIS WAS AMAZING” because why would you take the time to ruin someones day like by leaving a negative comment?

Rude and no body needs that shit.
