Hiiii!!! i have a weird ask and don’t wanna be rude or anything but i wondered what you thought? i notice a lot of COD fics are written by girls and are there things that they get right or wrong in m/m tropes or fics you think? i don’t want to invade your privacy or any thing just curious from a guys pov? don’t have any one else to ask. Sorry if it’s out of line!!! I love your fics a lot Thx!!
not rude at all! but i am going to give you a huge non-answer in that i think it depends so much on who's writing, what they're writing, what they're trying to get across, there's no one answer to that. on top of that, they're writing for themselves/other women, and as long as they're getting out of it what they want, i really don't see an issue with it. there's no right or wrong, it's fiction, it serves a purpose even if that doesn't line up with what i would wanna see; it's not for anyone but them.
there are plenty of fics that don't work for me, personally, and the gender of who's writing them doesn't have as much to do with it as dynamics and the way they get thoughts across iykwim. not everything is for Me, and i'm fine with that; i write plenty of stuff that not many people like, but as long as i'm getting something out of it, that's what really matters

"Time to go downstairs and be made fun of for my lack of structural integrity"
Don't mind me. Just wishing I could have a chat with them.
I haven't seen you, but here's what I do know: no one should comment on that. Maybe you're not the "ideal" or whatever, but if your feet touch the ground and you have skin on your body, then no one should be commenting on how you're structured. Honestly, unless the words coming past their lips aren't to check on your health or lift you up, they shouldn't pass their lips. Period. Mama always said, "If you don't have somethin' nice to say, don't say anything at all." If they can't follow a rule taught successfully to toddlers, then they aren't worth listening to.
You deserve better than that. Please know that their words reflect their own rancid state and have nothing of substance to do with you.

That honestly made me feel so much better. Thank you so much.

It would be neat to have gender bent Kevin, Lucy, and Glitch, especially if the gender bent Glitch gets clothes.
I have a concept of 11yr old genderbent Kevin.
I keep calling her Edith or Edi (just "E-D"). For my Jen 10 au I'm not sure if I'll genderbend other characters, I might but it's unlikely. But I might do one offs for fun, like one-time art or "what-ifs", but idk yet. I keep trying to come up with ideas story wise and design wise but I'm only invested in Jen.
I also don't know if I will include Glitch, Eunice already fills the role well. But if I think of a way to include Glitch I'd like to. But no promises, sorry.

i know its been a few weeks since the marwa wwdits episode but can i just say. i hate all the people who took that VALID criticism of the episode and turned it a million ways to make it seem like it's ridiculous.
no one said guillermo should have felt angry for marwa and killed nandor. no one said it was out of character how nandor acted. no one said that they were disappointed by nandor's in-universe actions.
people were angry because how the writers treated marwa! marwa, like the djinn this season, got introduced as a reoccuring side-character that was involved in plots to about the same extent as him. i saw people saying they thought the outrage was *ridiculous* because she "wasn't even a side-character". dude. a role like hers IS big compared to how often side-characters usually appear. simon the devious, the baron, etc. appear once a season or so, but marwa and the djinn both were (somewhat like nadja's doll) actual additons to the main household. and all of them don't get a ton of screentime or character development, but they all make far more frequent appearances than the rest of the cast.
but marwas "joke" the entire time had been how absolutely bad nandor treated her. like, making her want whatever he wants her to want, even before the "i want her to like whatever i like" wish, and changing her so much that she barely even was an own person anymore and then turning her into a completely other person as a final blow. like, the joke was that nandor treated her like shit, and that could have worked, if there was any sort of consequence to it.
and i don't mean "oh they don't explicitly say that nandor is a bad person :(", i mean, even tv shows where every person is an asshole all of the time (like, idk, breaking bad) still give you consequences for your character's flaws and actions. nandor was met with guillermo being angry at him, but that would have also happened of nandor had wished for a freddy to just materialize out of thin air. there never is any actual point to nandor treating marwa like shit - she doesn't get to have some revenge on him, no one else even makes some offhand remark about marwa, the plot of the whole season would have had very little difference if she hadnt been there, no one EVER remarks that he treats her like shit. And then i just don't get why she existed in the first place? like, were we actually supposed to laugh at how he treated her? was that supposed to be her purpose?
there also just. wasn't a reason why nandor didn't wish for a freddy to just materialize. there wasn't even a clause to the djinns wish, like "oh i cannot create a living human with a wish" that would give nandor an actual reason to turn marwa into freddy.
and marwa, of course was the first woman of color that had some importance in the show and while turning her into a white man and letting her wander off is ONE thing, i think its even weirder that it seemed like the previous episode was setting up that she actually WOULD get some level of revenge on nandor (she enthusiastically built a man-cave for herself, locked nandor out, and for all we care she could have been offhandedly mentioned every few episodes from then on, like, someone knocks on marwas door every once in a while and she stays a minor reoccuring character, this plot showed her having actual independence and standing up to nandor for once and could have turned into a deeper story from there on, if the writers had wanted) and then they. just. dropped the whole thing and let her ride off on a train like they didn't really know what to do with her and were glad she was put of the way.
if there was some emotional exploration of marwa being twisted into a whole other person. if there just had been ONE person, who actually cared about what happened to marwa. then it maybe would have felt like the plot had had a point. but it wasn't just that nandor dropped marwa like a toy he was tired of playing with, it felt like the plot plot did the exact same with her

gabriel keeping quiet about the whole kid thing but also acting the slightest bit nicer to seth
ie calling him seth instead of greer, learning how he likes his coffee and making it, getting him a heat bag or two
their potential friendship means the world to me ngl
Yeah!
I do think if they truly new how hard he had/has it, they’d at least be a tad nicer to him, honestly. It’s just unlikely he’d tell them unless he actually trusts them.
