What's Here

My primary journalling site is InsaneJournal, I am

rubyfruit_pixie in that part of the internets, and over there is mostly fandom rants with a side of rants about religion (ex-Pentecostal!) and whatever else crosses my mind. What's here on this account is reposts with the occasional original content, both of which depending on what I think I can get away with posting here without getting caught in a shitstorm. Also, I swear tons in rants. Be ye advised.

Commenting Policy

Like on my InsaneJournal and my Wordpress blog, I have a (mostly) open commenting policy. About the only thing that gets deleted right away is spam. Even though anon-commenting is screened (to keep the spammers away), most of the time, I let comments through through. However, trolls of any kind will be laughed at and anyone attempting to "save" or "educate" me will be laughed at and then roundly told to fuck off.

Linking Policy

I ask that

metafandom and other link aggregation comms/newsletters do not link any public entries that ask not to do so. I'm fine with individuals passing those links around and adding entries to their memories and the like.

hurt_comfort

and

wing_fic

Shameless Self-Promotion, baby~! I built 'em, so hopefully they will come!

I screen non-friend comments only to deter spammers. This is pretty much the same for every place I'm on that allows comments that I post on a somewhat regular basis. I don't delete comments unless they're very obviously spam. The only reason I closed comments on the fic archive is because it's been overrun with real estate spammers.

So, to nip any accusations that I delete comments that I "don't like" in the bud, I'm just here to say that I do not delete comments that I disagree with. I only delete and ban frankly obvious spam.

As for when I reply to comments: I read damn near every comment, which is how I know which ones get sent straight to the trash can. I reply kind of late because real life stuff, and a fuck ton of works in progress. I've even started on a few new major projects, and I have school, too. Sometimes, I do ignore comments completely, but so far I've never had to do this outside of DeviantArt, and given how I'll visit that place in bursts and then leave it for a while, the replies to any comments I make over there are buried by other messages and those end up deleted.

Standard Disclaimers Apply, also, metafandom and any other newsletter-type communities, please do not pick this up! This entry is made public for the benefit of friends who are not on either Dreamwidth or InsaneJournal. Thank you.

This is more or less how a nice, simple idea turns into a big pile of subplots, love triangles, and mind control conspiracies.

And I will be using three very recent universe-creations as an example.

( The Dreamverse! )

( The Foundverse/Voidverse )

And finally... ( The Braceletverses. Yes, plural. )

So...yeah. Any idea that just seems simple will turn complicated almost instantly.

Standard Disclaimers Apply. So much.
Also, to Meta Comms and Newsletters: Please do not pick up.

Does anyone else find it weird that, at the same time that female characters are despised, they are also Caged Birds who should not be harmed in any way, ever?

Of course, I could kill off as many male characters as I want, have as many dudes be violently raped as my mind will allow, write as much hurt/comfort about dudes I like...but if I tried to write h/c about a female character, it's Bad and Wrong, and if a female character dies, even if it's an OC in the background that I created as an extra so as to fill space, that requires a specific "death of minor female character" while I could probably kill half the male members of the cast off and only tag it as "character death".

What the hell?

I could easily write the creepiest, most misandrist femdom porn ever, but if I write femsub, it's "destroying the movement".

I'm sorry, but what the fuck is that shit?

Does that strike anyone else as being weird or even the slightest bit contradictory? It reminds me of the het fandom thing about believing two contradictory things at once. Fact A and Fact B cannot be true at the same time. It is not possible to believe that female characters are all bitches/sluts/Mary Sues who are better off dead, and at the same time believe that a female character should not ever be harmed in any way, shape, or form, whether they come back from it or not. It just doesn't work that way. Someone can think that Fact A is true for Fandom X and Fact B is true for Fandom Y but both Fact A and Fact B cannot be true in Fandom W. It's just not possible for two contradictory statements to be true.

So yeah.

Current Music: "Cutie" by Masami Okui

(Attention Meta Comms, please do not pick this up. Thank you!)

I don't know what's wrong with me. Instead of doing what I've seen and heard a lot of 'fic writers, both fan- and non, both amateur and pro do re: female characters ("if I can't do it right, then fuck it, I just won't write them"), I tell my introjects to kiss my ass and write them anyway. Because I want to read about my favorite characters, and I like writing them.

Most of my favorite characters are female. In nearly all my fandoms. It has always been this way, even when I first got into fandom. I tended to fall in love with female characters rather easily and the more I was told by the rest of the fandom to hate them, that just made me love them more. See Also: That Girl In My Icon. And I used to not like Rinoa, too (More like a fence-sitter. I found myself loathing Squall/Rinoa like so many others...). And then I thought too much and decided that she was way, way too good for Squall. But! I fear that I may be digressing.

Not finding what I needed in the source material, I so went off in search of fanfic, and if I didn't see any that satisfied my needs, I wrote it myself, because that seemed to be the thing to do. So...yeah. I have to wonder if I'm doing it wrong not because I don't like the "right" female characters or even because I like the "wrong" female characters, but because I decided to keep writing about them. Because I even want to see more female character-centered fic in (sub?)genres that would seem "forbidden", like hurt/comfort and slavefic, and I had a whole big rant about hurt/comfort before, and I will have a whole big rant about slavefic soon. But! I fear I may be digressing.

The point is, I feel like I "should" give up but some part of me violently screams "FUCK THAT NOISE". I don't know what it is, but I think I'm gonna listen to it.

Because usually, that part of me that says "fuck that noise" is usually right, and has been right so far.

For Nano, I plan on Kairi being sent to live with her aunt and uncle. That is, her birth-father's people.

The house in question, I intend for it to be less than five floors, but with at least twelve bedrooms, with Kairi having her own suite on the first or second floor with a patio or a balcony. They live in Radiant Garden, far outside of any city, so it's plausible that they'd have a house that massive (at least, according to the Jordiverse--I decided that the cities would have smaller houses while the further out one gets the larger the houses get).

I am not an architect or a floor planner or a real estate agent. I just want to know if it's possible to fit 12+ bedrooms, four of them being master suites complete with enormous whirlpool bathtubs in the bathrooms, two kitchens, and six bathrooms onto four floors or less.

Why do I need a house to be that size? Because I can!

Current Mood: amused

I'm barely into Detectiveverse and already, much like the Braceletverse, it wants an Alt-Version.

I am considering calling the Alt-Detectiveverse Detectiveverse Black. But that might offend someone somehow, so I might call it Detectiveverse Alter. And hopefully it won't offend anybody. I hate this. I wanted to go "Black/White" with Braceletverse, too. Braceletverse-II was going to be called Braceletverse Black to reflect the slightly darker bent. But now that I look at it, Braceletverse-II is the nicer of the two because Marluxia died of Bludgeoning by a Shovel Causes before Namine sank into creepy perfection. But that would've offended, oh, I don't know, somebody. Probably one of The Children or some similarly imaginary entity. That's just...I don't even know. Somebody might talk about how great it is that we're all so enlightened that we're thinking about word choice in fic titles, but...yeah. I think it's gone a tad too far when you can't use colors in titles without worrying about offending someone. But more on why I have major problems with the "Enlightened and Thoughtful" thing later.

So, Detectiveverse Alter. It's rather...weird. I have no idea what to call the Starting Story, but it might be done for Nano, it might be kinda stupid, and it will definitely be Rinoa/Kairi. In that name-order. The details are murky, but I have ideas floating somewhere. Now it's up to the Idea Wrangling Purple Meerkats to, well, wrangle the ideas. Because I don't have plotbunnies. I have an entire Plot Bestiary, I tell you what. I shall write the Plot Bestiary soon! It will come before Nano, I promise. :3

And now, my little word on Preferences and Likes and Dislikes. So I updated my Magna Cartas. I notice that while the list of things I like in a novel and/or fic keeps growing, the list of dislikes stays the same. Either I'm not as much of a ball of bitterness and rage as I thought I would be, or I'm a gigantic wuss.

Feeling particularly inspired by

I'll just call this "Fics I Don't Hate". Most of these are probably awful. These are just the ones that I think are less awful.
( Fic Links at the Jump! )

As for stuff that's in progress, my favorite thing I'm working on thus far is the Braceletverse. Both of them. Because writing slavefic is fun. Next to that, fics in the Charmverse. Hell, most of my In Progress stuff is fun. :3 Because writing fic is fun!

1) The Good and the HOLY SHIT: HOLY SHIT I POSTED SOMETHING? That's right. I posted some o' dat new shit today.

The Prologue for "Nil". Why am I posting Braceletverse-II stuff? Because "Collars and Charm Bracelets" is still in the Hack n' Slash Stage. :D That and I don't think it's every day that something gets to be tagged "kidfic" and "slavefic".

It's slightly better than it sounds.

Also, my grades came in today. They were better than I thought they'd be.

BUT I POSTED SOMETHING, GUYS.

I POSTED SOMETHING RECENT, NOT JUST A REPOST.

Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! Fandoms, books I might get around to writing one day, women in my fandoms, ideal holiday destinations, goals for the future, celebrity crushes, books I wish would be made into movies, love songs. And I will answer them all in a new post (or in comments). Maybe with pictures.

So, I decided to set my archive up from the ground up. It took more than five minutes to get everything right. It, in fact, took two days to get everything set up because the FTP server liked to disconnect at random assed times. Why? For the lulz, I guess!

So, re: The the_excerpt tag:

In which file do I put that in a given theme so that I don't get just the excerpt when I click on the entry itself? I had that problem on the old Rubyfruit Garden, and I really don't want to do that again, so...yeah.

Behold, the Backyard Garden. When and if the Actual Rubyfruit Garden (that is, the Front Yard Garden) gets back up, then the Backyard Garden will be used solely for

kink_bingo posting. Unless I move everything from the Front Yard and back it up in the Backyard....

In which my fic archive is dead because the place I host it on...the servers are fried which means I may have lost my archive forever. So I am left with these options:

1) Finish things but never be able to post them without writing out paragraphs-long warnings, but I've already ranted about why I feel that this particular warnings system is completely crap and works for neither author nor reader and it has fuck all to do with story spoilers, but I'll write another rant about that soon.

2) Build another archive from the ground up, which will take a huge amount of time from actual writing, plus I'd have to type up my god damned warnings policy again, which takes even more time away from writing actual stories.

3) Post my stuff to AO3, which is looking more attractive every time, plus I never have to worry about server crashes.

A Quick Braceletverse Question For You All...

So, Braceletverse has a potential Fourth and Fifth Arc.

I kinda know what the Fifth Arc is going to be (Riku/Roxas, since Axel is missing and presumed locked in Saix's basement).

But I don't know what exactly to do for the Fourth Arc, called "Fair Play", and the title is pending. All I know is that it's going to be Kairi/Rinoa.

The question is, Kairi/Rinoa, or Rinoa/Kairi?

Any input is appreciated. Basically crossposted everywhere that people actually read.

ETA: There is a poll up on the LiveJournal Place. It was either LJ or MangaBullet, and like fuck I'm going back there (Mangabullet, that is).

-Attention Meta Comms: Please do not pick up! To be honest, I don't want to put up with the flames and the bullshit.-

Warning: Offensive to everyone, potentially. Likely not triggering, but definitely offensive. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Much of this stuff applies to me and me alone, though some may agree with me, and "you" applies to a general "you". This rant is the sole property of Jordan H., and does not reflect the opinions of anyone else. Comments to this entry are the sole property of their respective commentors, and do not apply to anyone else, ever.

I honestly hate racefails. I really and honestly do, and it's not because I'm racist. It's because of the infuriating habit of people claiming to speak for people of color are too busy speaking around us. It's the same as any (insert minority here)-fail conversation. It's not that I'm an evil person, it's just that some people have these stupid ass attitudes about the minority groups they claim to be defending, and they're even worse than any actual haters. It's goddamn patronizing, and for the most part, aren't people in fandom goddamn adults, or at least old enough to have such polarizing conversations without it degenerating to "NO U" comments back and forth and accusations of being racist/sexist/(insert favorite-ist here) for disagreeing about the fact that there is no goddamn Hive Mind and thus different people will find different things problematic, regardless of race or age or gender or who you like to fuck or one's physical or mental abilities?! That different individuals find different things offensive/triggering/wrong/wtfever?

Why the fuck is it, then, that in every Racefail there are a bunch of people who try to pronounce that X thing is offensive/triggering/wrong to Y minoritty, for all of time forever? What the fuck is the deal with that?!

That shit makes me, someone who is in Minority X, who doesn't find a great deal of things offensive at all, feel like I'm not good enough for these goddamn people. It makes me feel like I'm not a real black person, or a real bisexual or a real woman unless I join the Hive Mind and get offended about stuff that does not goddamn offend me. Which, oddly enough, offends me more than anything that could be offensive. And being told what I should find offensive/triggering/wrong/et cetera is what I find offensive/triggering/flat out goddamn wrong. I know that I am not every woman and it's not all in me, but good freakin' lord....

It's aggravating. Not because I'm evil, but because I want these people to shut the fuck up because they do not speak for me. I doubt that those who claim that they're champions of equality give a shit about the people they're speaking around. But that'd imply that they really care about equality and obviously, these patronizing fuckers don't want that. They want the Poor Downtrodden Minority to cry to cry the One Solitary Tear. And if I'm a traitor for refusing, then fuck it. I'll be a traitor! I'll go to Hell!

It bothers me. It bothers me when discussions of race come up in fandom. Not because I'm racist, but honestly? I am tired of them, and hopefully there's nothing wrong with that.

-Please do not pick this up, Meta Communities, as I will, sooner or later, have some longer, better Thoughts On ~~Yaoi~~Concrit soon!-

Jordi's Tiny Thoughts on "Concrit"!:

Too many people keep using the phrase "constructive criticism", I do not think it means what they think it means. It's very facepalm-y. Because people keep using the CONCRIT excuse to be utter assholes to the point where it's become a red flag to mean "This reviewer is going to be a total asshat, and will at best make you cry and at worst make you want to punch them in the face".

For good fucking reason.

I mean, if someone had stumbled onto one of my stories, torn it apart, used a stack of very personal insults against me, and then cried "It's concrit! It's concrit! I just said you should kill yourself so that you can improoooove!11" would get a big fat FUCK YOU from me. And I'm an adult. A kind of sensitive one, but still an adult. But at least I and the giver of so-called concrit are on equal footing.

Can you imagine getting that kind of shit in your inbox at, like, fourteen? And these are adults doing it to teenagers? The very idea makes me physically ill.

"Concrit", "Constructive Criticism", people keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

I have long since made peace with Mary Sue. I had to, if not because Sue-hunting is a goddamn waste of time, then for my own sanity. For other people just learning how to write. For their sanity. And because I've been in fandom for over a decade and aside from "My Immortal", a fic in which nothing but random, badly written sex happened, I wonder if someone named Mary Sue ate someone's dog or something.

After having read some entries on the subject, and they brought out these unorganized, possibly pointless thoughts on the subject.

And I'm starting to agree with the people who say that Sue-Policing does nothing but teach people how to not write at all. That it's perfectly okay to have awesome guys, but never ever awesome girls lest they be deemed "too perfect" to be around the canon guys. That Mary Sues are merely female wish fulfillment--and what the fuck is wrong with that?!--and are bad writing.

I call bullshit on that whole mentality. I call bullshit on people waging war on characters that do not exist and are harmless. I call bullshit on the idea that there is something inherently wrong with female wish fulfillment, but nothing wrong with male wish fulfillment. I call bullshit on the very concept of "hunting" for Mary Sues and making writers afraid to write at all.

I call bullshit on the hatred and loathing of OFCs. I call bullshit on it all.

Why?

Because, frankly, those who hunt Mary Sues claim to be offering constructive criticism. My thoughts on concrit are for another entry entirely, but here's a condensed version: If the "concrit" makes someone not want to write ever again, then it is not fucking concrit.

Anyway, back to my rant on Mary Sues. Like other so-called "badfic" elements, they haven't fucked anyone's mom or set anyone's dog on fire, so I don't get the need to hunt the writers down and mock them. My thoughts on the "it's okay to laugh at people on the internet" mentality is also another entry, and other people have tackled it and have done it far better than I ever will.

But I digress!!

I didn't quite get the "Sue-Hunting" mentality when I started in fandom and I don't get it now. Thus, I have long made peace with Mary Sue. Thus, I am glad for the existence of

so_sue_me, and its totally awesome icon.

I guess what I was trying to say is "I don't think Mary Sues are all that bad at all" but I used too many words.

Okay bye!

Regarding the interest, "mind control sunflower hats":

It started as an inside joke between myself and an LJ friend (that'd be

staff_of_truth), concerning how every other "Teens gone wild" episode of the Maury show ended with the girls wearing sundresses and sunflower hats.

I theorized that the sunflower hats had some sort of mind-controlling element, be it pollen or microchips (the latter made more sense at the time) and the idea of mind control sunflower hats stuck. :D
