And the truth shall set you free!!!
Fan fic authors are not professional writers.
Expecting them to be perfect and never make mistakes is setting yourself up to be an asshole.
Do you know how long it takes to write and publish a 60k novel for most published authors? Years. Plural.
That includes time spent writing multiple drafts and doing research and multiple rounds of edits. Access to a professional editor, and the ability to hire sensitivity readers. The list goes on and on and on.
Fan fic authors owe you nothing. They are churning out multiple novel length fics (or the equivalent in one shots) a year while still holding down school/jobs.
And you’re gonna jump down their throats because they wrote a pairing differently than you prefer??
Shut the fuck up.
Tags exists for a reason. Read them and move on if the fic is not for you.
I mean really. We all just lived through fucking 2020. Let people enjoy their FAKE gay porn in peace.
Jfc.

This is an amazing story writen by my friend, Cat. It is a wonderful drama with a beautiful love story. Check it out!!!
So, here we are! I’m really excited to finally share some of this story with you.
I SEE YOU is a romance / thriller set in 1950’s Paris and is the story of Roberta and Pierre.
I have specifically chosen today, 31st March, to share more about Roberta with you  - because today is International Transgender Visibility Awareness Day, and that matters because Roberta is a transwoman.
So often in media and literature, people who identify as transgender have very poor representation, and it rarely seems to be positive. Trans characters are often portrayed as sex workers and often meet a nasty end. How many stories have a trans woman as not only the main protagonist, but also one of the romantic leads? I wanted to try and change that.
Here I present the prologue and first 2 chapters (which are still unedited and a work in progress) but as a teaser for the rest of the story to come, hopefully late 2021, or early 2022.
I will state these chapters are rated mature which includes sexual content.
Also, I will add as a trigger warning, that Roberta is in a relationship that falls under “dubious consent”. This will become clearer as to why as the story progresses, however it is not down to her gender identity – if you want to know more, please message me!
 
Once the full draft is completed, I will be looking for people to complete sensitivity reads. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please message me!
I hope you enjoy the teaser. I SEE YOU is important to me, and I hope this story, when finally released, is able to add some positivity to trans representation in the media.

I absolutely love the close up of their van kiss. You can tell that both Luca and Marwan got really into the kiss based on how they just leaned into it. I swear they forgot everything but kissing each other. And Marwan's pinky rubbing Luca's shoulder before they were forced apart! 😭😭😭

It's alive! It's here! AHHHHHH!!!! 💜💜💜💜 The Bodyguard AU we've been waiting for!!
Endless Ocean - An Old Guard AU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nicky Di Genova is home for the summer after he graduated college - except, things are tense and strange.  His Dad, a big shot lawyer who works for Merrick Enterprises, has hired extra security, and seems a bit miffed he came home for the summer instead of touring Europe like he had wanted him, too.  But Nicky was just trying to spend his summer in the pool while he works some things out . . . 
Joe is hired as extra security to watch over a guy who knows nothing about life (or so he thinks). This is his last job, and then he's done - he's out, and can just focus on what he needs to do next. But what was supposed to be an easy job of watching a rich kid sunbathing while his Dad coordinates his grand jury testimony with the DEA, turns into something much more dangerous. It’s not just Nicky’s Dad who is in danger - it’s Nicky, too.
Because someone has decided he wants him all to himself . . . and it’s not just Joe.
Endless Ocean, a Joe x Nicky - Modern/Bodyguard AU is now L I V E on Ao3.

Except in the comic book it was Andy that said no to finding Nile and Nicky, Joe AND Booker were trying to convince her they needed to find her. I do love the differences between the comic and the movie, but this is one thing I wish they didn't change.
I do understand that he probably said no because he didn't want to drag Nile into the mess he created, but if they left it in, it still would've spoken about how much he cares for his immortal family. We know he loves them. He just had a shit way of showing it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Something I’d like to point out about this whole exchange amongst the team is how Joe and Nicky approach expressing the same opinion regarding Nile. They are both united in their stance that finding her is the thing they need to do, but their responses to pushback (from Booker essentially) are very distinctive.
Joe is the first to outright say they have to find Nile. He’s direct, firm, and concise. And his tone in the second gif is bordering on anger at the implication that they leave one of their own vulnerable. He’s protective and determined, and after this point continues sketching out Nile’s face, undeterred.
Nicky also calls Booker out, but focuses on appealing to the team’s empathy. You can see that not only did he feel the pain of Nile’s death, he also keenly sympathizes with her fear and it comes through in his voice and all across his face. He’s gentle but steady when reminding them of what they already know they should do.
They’re both ultimately saying the same things, but in their own characteristic, complimentary ways. And I know a lot is said about Nicky’s compassion (and rightfully so), but I also wanted to highlight that Joe is just as compassionate (in this example, towards Nile’s situation), it just manifests differently.

So, people are just allowed to take art that they like just because they don't like the person who created it? 'I hate this person for no valid reason, so let's make them feel like shit by doing this'. Really? Block buttons exist for a reason. Last I checked, it wasn't hard to use them. If you have a problem with a particular person, block them. But don't go out of your way to take things from them.
How can you talk such shit about someone, but then take their work and say 'this is amazing even though I hate you'?
Also, they have no evidence of racism, or homophobia (to someone who is a POC and draws gay fanart). Why is it that people just feel the need to spread hate when fandom is supposed to be a place of acceptance?
Art Theft and Bullying in The Old Guard Fandom
Hey TOG fandom! Do you know that stealing art is a crime? Do you have a problem with bullying (“because that poc muslim artist deserves!11!” based on a random tumblr post) within Discord servers? You do?… then read on.
Please grab some cookies and tea (and get comfortable!) and read on. This is a SERIOUS matter that I, as an outsider, was able to see WITHOUT being influenced by anyone else. I am not friends with any of the people involved here, although after these events I have empathy towards them.
I’m telling you this so you won’t be able to say to me “you are allied with/you are influenced by”… That is not the case. I have facts and evidence, so please read! I will be talking about ART THEFT, BASHING, REPOSTING, AND DISGUSTING BULLYING BEHAVIOUR towards a person who is not even in the server. As a fellow fanartist I feel so bad because  “this artist deserves it” in their mind. 
(Now: apparently there is a part of the beautiful The Old Guard fandom that thinks: the characters and people’s headcanons are more important rather than an actual person’s well-being, and with every new illustration by the artist, they are badly spoken of. Because… ugh, why not?)
I talked about facts, so here’s one:

Netflix, you bastards! We need this! Release that scene damn it!
Greg says he has no idea about the deleted scenes and its all on netflix to give them to us. He fully supports us hounding them for them.
Also when talking about deleted scenes:
“There’s a scene where you watch Joe arriving in Goussainville, and he drives in and he parks the car and he gets out with the groceries, and he checks the perimeter, and a jet flies overhead, and he looks at the jet. And then you cut to the church and it’s day, and Nicky’s on post, and he[Joe] knocks, and its this beautiful wordless scene they did (…) Joe enters, Nicky closes the door, locks it, and they look at each other, and there’s no dialogue– and there’s a forehead touch. “I’m glad you’re back.” that’s it. And it’s this silent little moment, and then they go off to the rectory.”
EDIT: probably the same scene from this bts pic

Screaming! Holy shit, YES! THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF!!!!
“We are doing an Old Guard anthology. It’s gonna be six issues, two stories per issue, each story 12 pages. It’s gonna be called The Old Guard: Tales Through Time. We’ve invited some folk to write stories set in the canon, artists and writers– I’m not gonna say who yet. Leo and I will do the first and last one, and then Leo and I will begin working on the third series.”
Greg on comic news for the old guard
