Chapter 27 - thoughts.
Heya everyone!
As promised, here are chapter 27’s notes! (which you can read over here! Please do so, to avoid spoilers)
This chapter was… frustrating as it was fun to write, because I got to introduce certain aspects of my life that drive me crazy 😂😭 and they seemed to have the same effect on her—who would’ve guessed that this story would turn into a slice-of-life (satire)? ahahahahah
So… let’s start by the beginning. (warnings: spoilers ahead!)
While writing this chapter is when I realized that I had only covered Y/N’s situation through the perspective of her family… her friends had yet to know why she had disappeared, and that was something that Hinata hoped to avoid as much as possible, because being the bad news bearer for her family was painful as it was, doing the same with your friends just added another layer of unnecessary turmoil.
I think that all of your friends in the sorcerer world would’ve already known what happened before being informed by Hinata. Whether because they overheard someone speak about it, or by connecting the pieces by their own (Zen’in heir married, Y/N gone)
I wasn’t sure of how close I wanted to make Shoko and Utahime to Hinata, Y/N and Ren—Mei Mei was like the easiest one to decide actually haha she’s the complete anti-thesis of Hinata, so I don’t think she would actually get along with either of Y/N’s siblings or Y/N herself… besides, I always got weird vibes from her, so yeah 🤣 name dropped her because why not.
From there, Shoko was someone that I knew would be friends with Hinata due to them studying together. Hinata would like her because she wasn’t all too compliant to Gojo’s and Geto’s antics, however, she would probably be a bit… discouraged by Shoko’s take of her own technique.
Your sister’s like: omg you can heal?! That’s amazing!!
Shoko: I mean... [I think this would obviously change when she's older, Shoko might be like: actually, you're right. I am the shit]
And don’t even get me started with her smoking habit… I think Y/N would’ve tried to hide if not replace her cigarettes with the candy ones lol.
Utahime on the other hand, I envisioned she was a bit apprehensive at first towards Ren (they first met at Kyoto!) and subsequently Hinata and Y/N because of their relationship with Gojo, but after getting to know them she was pleased to see that even if they were friends, they were not like him at all. Utahime really wonders how Hinata could even live with the fact that she’s going to marry him (or was; She might’ve tried to throw a party after hearing that the engagement was cancelled, but obviously didn’t because it wasn’t a happy decision to make to begin with 😥)
If I had to make a list of the friendships that went on (outside of the canon ones), this is how it would look:
Gojo, Geto, Y/N. (Hinata hates this relationship the most, Y/N might be a bit annoyed with Satoru from time to time, but deep inside, she looooves going along with his antics too haha)
Geto, Hinata.
Shoko, Hinata, Y/N.
Utahime, Hinata, Shoko, Y/N.
Utahime, Y/N. (They like going to the Karaoke a lot, Y/N is so proud (and maybe a bit jealous haha) of Utahime’s talent to the point where she almost signed her up to a contest but eventually removed her name when she recognized Utahime would be essentially cheating with her technique haha)
Also, it slipped my mind that Ijichi was a student at Tokyo when Gojo and the gang were there, and he’s Y/N’s age too! (that one panel where Satoru was a complete *hole to him was 💀 anyways…) his career later on in life made me wonder just how the academic program was like for the people that decided to follow the administrative path of the jujutsu world—they probably shared the same classes, but not many. At least not for Y/N and Ijichi to become friends.
Besides, it’s been stated that he doesn’t like partaking with Gojo out of the necessary and he’s somewhat fearful of Nanami (I can’t believe he said he’d cry if he got scolded by him lmao but same), people that are in essentially in Y/N’s life so... yeah.
Y/N tried to get along with him tho, even attempting to show him that Nanami wasn’t as intimidating as he appeared to be and Gojo could be somewhat nice… but he was like nope, I’m good thank you. (Maybe he foresaw he was going to have a tough time in the future and decided to save his energy for until then? Lol)
Anyways, now that I caught my mistake I was intending to fix it was Y/N being virtually alone during her school years because there never was a relationship between the two, they just had different career goals and rarely intertwined with one another because of that. I apologize for this mishap 😭
Moving on from that, I decided to write down a point I wasn’t so sure if anyone was interested about, which is… where is Nanami?
I think I might’ve made it a bit sappy, but you know what? We deserve it, more so after all the things Naoya has done towards us 💀 We deserve to feel special!! (More I mean, cause Naoaki is back there at the estate hehe)
Anyways, I tried considering many situations regarding Nanami and his involvement, and I just… well, it seemed natural that Hinata wouldn’t want him to know. After all, she’s being very careful with the people she’s informing with Y/N’s situation—if the Zen’in decide to retaliate against those they suspect could interfere with their plans, he could easily be taken out. And that’s something that would make your sister feel far guiltier—so she resorted to keep him away from the truth.
At the end of the day… it sucks to think that Nanami doesn’t know what’s going on with Y/N at all, but if I had to make a guess as to what he would think, he would undeniably be angry… and would do his best to help Hinata in anything she needed.
It makes me wonder the kind of relationship he had with Naoya 😂 they probably met at the exchange event at one point in their life since they’re of the same age, even fought against one another? Maybe. But it’s more than obvious that Nanami would not like Naoya at all, and not solely because of his treatment towards Y/N (although that would be a huge factor down the road) but because he started saying some off-putting things such as comparing himself to Gojo as respective heirs, strong sorcerers, that kind of shenanigans.
Besides, rumors about his personality follow him everywhere, so…
Moving on from Nanami… we get to the jewel of the chapter: Hinata’s endless desk work torture.
This is the part that I drew inspiration from my personal life 😭 it was absolute agony revisiting the things I had to go through because of my business 🤣
Starting by the bureaucracy behind it all.
It’s… surprising just how easily people can have you going around on circles for no apparent reason—I had a basic idea of it thanks to what I’ve been told/seen growing up from my relatives and friends, but it wasn’t until I started my business that I saw just how horrible it truly was.
There are some many requisites that you need to complete before, you know, engaging on actual activities... And it’s not that I complain about having to do it, but rather how it’s supposed to be done 💀
It’s a bunch of having to go to actual offices in different places of the city to get things done(when most of them could easily be done online! But even then… it’s a tedious hell to sign up and get access to those online services, the pandemic certainly hastened some modernization but still…)—wait in line until it’s your turn, expect some bad service 😅 or not being able to do anything at all because it’s time for them to close 💀
Yeah, it’s bad. And the location for these places are so random too… some of them are in the city, but others are just like so out there, they don’t even have the right kind of structure that doesn’t endanger the citizens going/living there.
I’m not kidding, there’s this one area that’s essentially known for this long highway that goes from one city to the other, through hills and whatnot. It’s filled with houses and what not on the sides (you literally step out of the house and the road is right there haha). Now, you’d think, well, certainly there’s going to be bridges or something for people to go from one side of the road to the other, right? Or at least some stops or traffic lights, right?
Nope. You wanna cross to the other side? Let’s hope you’re a good runner because you’re about try your luck by avoiding cars that go 65+ mph for no reason, as if you were frogger or something, and hope for the best—it’s that bad.
And… the main inspiration in putting the office Hinata had to go to a bit rather, way farther than she expected. Some would say that the reason behind putting offices on distant places were made to avoid clustering people in one location and what not… but at least make it accessible for everyone 😭 one could say they’re appealing to those that have their own car with all these peculiarities :^)
From there… the unnecessary requisites. Will explain more of the permit further ahead, but for now, let me tell you where this idea came from.
Because I live on the border of my country, and it’s somewhat easy to just cross to the other country, it’s really accessible to buy stuff from over there, import it without having to pay taxes (as long as it’s less than a certain amount), and make good profit over here.
Dear tax administration caught wind of it, thus in order to get some money out of those transactions, whatever you want to send has to be declared at customs. Yeah, even if it’s made inside the country or whatever, gotta declare it.
And gotta pay taxes (over taxes) for it 😭 even if you already did and whatnot. Sure, I get it… trynna make people responsible and pay their taxes because there’s allot of informal business doing their thing without paying…
But even if you show proof that you’re doing everything right, they don’t care :’) and that’s not even the end of it hahahahah there was this one time where I was trying to send a shirt, and since I make my own labels for it I kind of got rid of the original one that came with.
I went to get the product declared, and they were like nah you gotta have the other label. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just something that shows where it was made and the cost and what not.
To say that I was irritated is… well, and understatement hahah I was really annoyed by it cause I had all of my paperwork to show that it was from my brand (local), I paid taxes for it but whatever, if that’s what they wanted me to do then I would 😭 I returned the next day and… they didn’t ask for anything 💀 they made me lose a day just because … very disappointing indeed.
Or the 4 hours in line at customs every time I wanted to send a parcel via express service… a nightmare.
From there, the last thing that inspired me to push Hinata into this hell was my experience with trademarking my brand. It was an online process because the nearest office to do that is like 2-3 states away so… I felt very anxious about doing it in the first place, but I did it anyways.
I submitted my request and paid the fee for it… and then, I realized my logo was all messed up 😭 I don’t know what happened during the upload process but it was just not good—and since the only way I could contact them was via mail (which have the reputation of never getting answered, or maybe like in 5 months) or schedule a 30min call…. Yeah, I was really nervous that my brand was going to be registered wrongly.
They eventually contacted me and they were like: you gotta pay for the whole process again 😭 I was like noooo!!! Just… let me change the image, it shouldn’t be that much! But they didn’t want to because apparently it was my fault 💀 instead, they offered to just register that one (at least the name) and just file another request for the actual correct logo.
I managed to defend myself though, because there were like 3 different versions of my logo in their system and I told them that I just wanted to know which one was going to be registered since there were like different interpretations hahaha
I didn’t hear from them for a while, and suddenly, I got an email saying that my logo and name was successfully (CORRECTLY!!) registered. Lmao. The audacity of wanting to charge me more…
So yeah, I could really go on about the many things that inspired me to have Hinata going around in circles. She already disliked doing paperwork… now she hates it 😂
Anyways… to the good part :> picking up from the last chapter, I wanted to actively contradict Hinata and her faith on the system.
The way she said that she still trusted HQ to not allow any kind of corruption (or at least that blatantly) was really… saddening tbh. It’s like that audio that’s going around on tiktok (and remember kids, next time somebody tells you the government wouldn’t do that, oh yes they would) the realization that those who are supposed to serve/protect don’t really… it’s heartbreaking.
Gege has been quite explicit with the type of issues that the jujutsu community is plagued with, starting by allowing 3 families to essentially make decisions for the rest 💀 from there, the entitlement coming from members of said family, and the discrimination of those they consider less.
Hinata is someone who fortunately never had to endure most of those issues, however, as much as she wants to call herself self-made… she’s not, at least entirely. Writing about her privilege is something that I’m sure she would’ve rather kept a secret because she’s so embarrassed/disappointed about it. Like she would never admit that she had all those shortcuts, you know? Because she’s always tried her best to work hard and earn them, unfortunately, because she is in this bubble way different from the rest, living with people that are of the same fabric, she never noticed such things until her engagement ended with Satoru.
Her siblings could’ve pointed it out… but they decided not to because they felt she was already trying her hardest to make a space where they didn’t feel as if she were their competition… and if she had the facility of obtaining something without having to work that hard for it… then why not allow it? Let her enjoy a few things you know? 😭
But yeah, I know stated Hinata to be a somewhat normal sorcerer compared to Gojo, in the sense that she’s no longer getting any benefits from them, and will be put aside whenever possible.
To think Naoya was somewhat right by saying that she got benefits through her relationship with Gojo… (BUT NOT IN THE WAY HE MEANT THO, THAT NEVER HAPPENED AND THAT WAS JUST HIM TRYING TO RILE Y/N UP EW)
Anyways… Gojo genuinely didn’t know about the permit, I know he’s an idiot from time to time (always) but he would never intentionally mess up something as serious like that. He want’s Y/N back too 😭
Now… the permit 👀
Let’s say that the permit was not needed at all… for a grade 1 sorcerer like her.
The permit is supposed to be for sorcerers of lesser rank. Hinata could’ve easily entered the archives and just get what she needed had it been anyone (righteous) to help her out.
And if she needed a permit, she could also get it there at the school… or so I think, since the schools are apparently used for many things, and I imagine that they must be more than capable of issuing various kinds of documents, a simple permit should be easy.
And as stated in the end of the chapter… all these obstacles were placed to keep Hinata as busy as possible, and even push her to give up 😅
The expiration date, the proof of id and license, were just excuses to not let her in, made by the people involved: Machiko and Nakamura.
The only reason why Hinata was able to get out of that loop was because of the woman that was in Nakamura’s place that day. She was a bit… confused as why she was getting a permit to begin with (and in Nara, of all places, since she wrote down she was from Tokyo), but since she just wanted to go back to finish all of the piled up work, didn’t question the why behind her action and just handed her the document.
If Nakamura was there, he probably would’ve lied about the system being down again… which he thought was more than enough to push her into not coming back, but when she returned for the last time, he was like fine here, have the permit whatever (Machiko warned him about Hinata growing suspicious so he had to be careful)
Also, he was the one responsible before the Kyoto typo— Hinata did write Kyoto in the permit but he decided to intentionally mess it up in order to fumble her attempts. 😭
That’s all I got to say about Nakamura, now Machiko… she’s someone I consider much more interesting.
THERE’S A THOUGHT THAT I COULDN’T GET OUT OF MY HEAD WHILE WRITING HER SCENES WHICH IS: Hinata being like oh damn this receptionist is kind of cute HAHHAHA
PICTURE THIS: Naoya and the gang needed someone to infiltrate the schools and inform them if the L/N siblings do something, right? But they just didn’t know who… that is, until someone was like “I heard through the grapevine that Hinata’s type is a girl with [x] [y] and [z]. Why not place someone that matches that description to distract her?!” and everyone kind of just agreed hahaha thus, Machiko was placed there to act like some kind of honeypot!!! And Hinata fell for her! (a bit)
Her personality was also another requisite for her to have the job, she had to be rude, condescending, overall, a hard person to get along with so Hinata could struggle even more. And even then… she was like “I can fix her” ah, silly Hinata… 😔 to think that she actually felt bad for her deceit (the family thing was another lie, which is why she was acting weirdly when Hinata brought it up) and wanted to make amends with her! Ugh.
However, Machiko far from being interested in being loyal to the Zen’in, she just wanted to get the money and move on. So maybe she can still be redeemed hahahah
And talking about romantic interests and relationships—I was very happy to finally (partially) introduce Ren’s girlfriend! She was planned from the very start; however, I didn’t have a name for her or any more development. (My mind keeps suggesting me I should make her part of the Inumaki clan, but I’d rather not) I’ll talk more about her on the character profile sheet (if that’s the right name) I’m making for everyone so :> I envision Ren to be very affective with her (thanks to Minako and Eiichi haha) to the point where Hinata is like 😳 I must look away. Aw, at least he’s in a happy relationship compared to his sisters…😭
Circling back to the call… the Zen’in knowing what Hinata is doing (or trying to do) is something that I already hinted before in previous chapters. I don’t remember which one exactly, but if I recall correctly, I think it was right after Y/N was sentenced to death and Naoya was like wtf —still trying to process what happened— but then Ogi came along and was like ok she’s going to die, so what? that happens, I sometimes wish my wife was dead, that’s the married life, big deal! Her sister, however, has been doing this!!!
I wonder who she was contacting though 👀? As well as what is the Zen’in planning to do once they have the basic idea that Hinata is actively investigating them? Oof.
Let’s hope she’s able to do much before it’s too late ☹
Anyways, this was just to show once more how busy Hinata has been, and what she did when she was away. She’s been so busy trying to find a way to get Y/N out of the estate that she almost missed the exam she was supposed to help out 💀 poor Hinata, I seriously want to get rid of some of the pressure but… well, my role here is to torture every character :^)
I’m excited to announce that the next chapters will be about Naoya, Y/N and Naoaki :> I hope you like them!! There’s like 2 scenes that I want to show you guys gkashjgksahgjahgjkahgkjla aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Well, thank you so much for reading these notes, as well as the support you’ve given me for the main story 🥺❤❤❤
If you have any more questions about the chapter in general, please let me know! I’ll do my best to answer them without spoiling the story mwahahah
Take care, have a wonderful week, and hope to see you soon ❤

ezra's pilots reclist
i have 90 somethin pilots fics in my ao3 bookmarks so i feel like maybe it's time to share some favorites. this is entirely my opinion/personal taste so if it's not your bag, you don't gotta read em. my ao3 bookmarks are here.
these aren’t really in any order, fyi. [⋆] indicates Iconic Hall Of Fame fic that i would die for. basically all are joshler except when otherwise noted.
⋆ artificial at best | edy | E | 53k | androids, amnesia, trauma, recovery i would die for this fic. if you want a really good forest fic with remarkable worldbuilding and excellent pacing, please read this fic. i promise you won’t regret it.
loved | olgushka | G | 2k | touch starvation, hurt/comfort what it says on the tin. just excellent, caring hurt/comfort. unbelievably tender.
good old fashioned lover-boy | cherryblur | M | 7k | 1980s, homophobia, ptsd, recovery fascinating characterizations. so vivid, josh is unbearably lovable. super different from the norm.
⋆ everything i never told you | magpie_03 | T | 18k+ (incomplete) | autistic characters, self hate, self discovery so vivid. the author has a remarkable ability to get inside characters’ heads, and make you feel what they’re feeling. it’s refreshing to have a fic where both main characters are autistic, rather than the usual one sided fare. not particularly shippy, just a good story.
⋆ take it slow | edy | M | 7k | deaf character, disabled character, vlogging, recovery the first pilots fic i ever read, and still my go to comfort fic. i’m hard of hearing and very picky about deaf characters in fic. this one nails it. their relationship in this makes my heart swell.
head in the clouds | joshiesfreckles | NR (mature) | 700 words | cock warming, subspace just a sweet little thing about tyler in subspace. 
⋆ peachy | flightlessnerds | M | 9k |  jenshler, gentle sex, light dom/sub my favorite pwp in the fandom, by far. so sweet, gentle and comforting.
the arc of conversation | jvshduns | M | 34k | slow build, small towns, self discovery when i first read this fic, i was in the headspace of it for hours after. such a gorgeous, tender telling about first love and what it means to become an adult in a world you’ve never felt like you’ve fit in.
⋆ ashes to ashes, stardust to stardust | headfirstfrhalos | T | 14k | reincarnation, disabled character, childhood, growing up i don’t know how to describe this fic other than it changed me as as a person it’s literally my finsta username inspo And i did a piece inspired by it for one of my art school finals lol please just read it
to pieces | marasa | NR | 1k | consensual violence, dom/sub, hurt/comfort in my head i refer to marasa as the king/queen/icon of hurt/comfort. this one is absolutely fascinating with a very satisfying ending.
⋆ who i am today (always) [series] | thisisnotwhatihadplanned | 16k | autistic character, RAB era, slow burn every time i get an update email on this fic i squeal lol. such deep and reverent characterization. takes something rather mundane and turns it into something fascinating and huge despite its gentleness. 
⋆ eaten by birds | edy | E | 19k | depression, recovery, disfigurement josh loses his jaw. tyler finds him. and everything goes from there. inspired by the book invisible monsters, but it’s much more tender than that. less satire, more genuine meditation on what it means to be a person. 
exhale | trinaizmy | E | 7k | van days, hotel sex, porn with feelings literally the definition of porn with feelings. josh is so shy. tyler takes care of him. this shit hits different. 
in midwest hotel rooms | marasa | NR | 2k | van days, hurt/comfort, touch starvation, dissociation tyler takes care of josh. so sweet and gentle, it makes me wanna cry. a comfort fic. 
stay with me, you don’t need to run | sadonsundays | E | 4k | angst, trench era, canon compliant, polyamory negotiation they fuck, but they discuss relationship dynamics. how is this going to work? god, they’re so in love it kills me. 
there you go, my favorites. obviously everything i’ve bookmarked is fantastic, i’ve bookmarked it for a reason. but these are the ones very close to me. thanks for reading

Yuletide 2019 roundup
Pour one out for The Terror; it's passed 1000 fics on AO3 and so 2019 is probably the last year it'll be Yuletide-eligible. I contributed to this fact this year with two fics.
But meanwhile, I was gifted five, FIVE stories this year. Four of them are Untitled Goose Game fics. Clearly that game has touched a nerve. And one was an absolutely delightful and moving crossover between Iain M. Banks’s Culture novels ... and the Discworld.
Longer rec list to follow later (maybe; I say that every year and never remember to do a proper recs post, but this year I’m going to try to at least remember to bookmark my shit). Meantime, here’s my personal goodness.
First: my gifts.
Untitled Yuletide Fic by runicmagitek for hangingfire (Gen) Fandoms: Untitled Goose Game (Video Game), Dreamwidth - Fandom, AO3 Tags: Goose (Untitled Goose Game), Crack Crossover, Humor, Satire, Video Game Mechanics, Breaking the Fourth Wall, Internet, Literal Fanfic Problems, Yuletide was not actually harmed during the making of this fic, Yuletide Treat Summary: It's yet another lovely year for the Yuletide Exchange, and there's a horrible goose wandering the internet. Or: How the Goose Stole Yuletide. Words: 5,983 My notes: This is funny as hell, particularly for those of us who have been doing Yuletide for a while. Packed with meta jokes and fourth-wall humor, and all around a delight.
Picking Bodies by karanguni for hangingfire (Teen+) Fandoms: The Culture - Iain M. Banks, Discworld - Terry Pratchett Tags: Cheradenine Zakalwe, random guest appearances, Crossover, Beware small wrinkly bald men, Yuletide Treat Summary: Floating around in the deep near-void of space, shaped like a disc balanced precariously atop four volumes of ship, was the GNU Man In The Funny Black Hat. Words: 3,498 My notes: Funny story! When I saw a request to beta a Culture/Discworld crossover pop up on the YT Discord, I thought “oh hey, I am uniquely qualified to do this beta!” So I volunteered, but forgot to mention my AO3 name, and, well, long story short, I ended up beta’ing my own gift. (“Wow, it’s almost like this was written for ... me ... oh.”) It’s mildly mortifying for everyone involved but also funny, and honestly with a story this good, I can’t even be mad. I never would have thought to mix these two universes, but it’s done very well, and also is a fine tribute to Banks and Pratchett. (N.B. There is some suicidal ideation involved, but it’s well within the Banks canon range.)

Couple of thoughts on Creek since the episode “Put it Down” and the new game came out. 
Can I just take a moment to say that I’m really glad that Craig and Tweek’s relationship hasn’t become a mean joke? Because I’ve been really scared for a while after “Craig x Tweek” that it would.
(rest under cut for length)
Like in the second to last scene of “Put it Down” when Tweek was going on and on about how he felt like he had no control over his life, I think his exact words were....
(Tweek) “I don’t know it’s- it’s like, maybe... maybe I have to find a way to feel a little in charge of me again.”
(Craig) “That sounds so insurmountable though, how would you even start?”
(Tweek) “I don’t know but, I-I gotta do something about this. There’s gotta be a way I can...”
You have no idea how terrified I was of that moment right there. I had to pause the show and come back because of genuine fear. Because there’s some key words in there. “Something to take control of me again.” that’s literally adult media shorthand for “I’m going to use sex with you that’s the thing that’s gonna give me some sense of self control” and that little pause, the gentle music, it was setting up the perfect punchline to cut to these poor ten year old boys violently making out at the BEST case scenario. That would have been the perfect South Park punchline.
Because South Park has absolutely gone there. “Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy” comes to mind (granted that was the definition of satire, and even taken to extreams it was treated real enough that lots of people get really uncomfortable thinking about that episode.) As does the prevalence of anal rape as humor, or jokes about Kenny having ALL the STDs. It’s just that, this could have gone horribly wrong.
But no, THANK GOD. I don’t know if Trey Parker and Matt Stone are bad at genuine emotion, or simply can’t help themselves in making the joke, or if they’ve tied their hands with the tone of the show, but you don’t get a lot of pure, simple, niceness in South Park, and that little “Thank you Craig” got to be that little bit we got, just, genuinely sweet and pure and untwisted to make a joke. 
South Park seems to finally be touching it’s old roots again with the children and their relationships to each other. South Park used to be good at that, back when the kids acted like kids. The joke was that these were kids, and the punchline was when the adult tone was suddenly ripped away to reveal a bunch of precocious children. 
And then these kids acting like adults stopped being a joke and started being the norm and things got uncomfortable. And I’m totally thanking the new games for this gradual shift back to the older tones. In the time since “Stick of Truth” came out South Park has been very preoccupied with time sensitive satire and it’s kinda overwhelmed the show, but incorporating the games in as canon has sort of forced the show to acknowledge that these are children. 
Children who are still of an age to get together with cardboard and cooking pans and play huge epics with their imagination, and now a lot of the more adult themes are being fostered on the actual adults of the show.
(I’d like to make a little sidenote here. There’s this huge gap in fandom I’m starting to see more between people who are like “OMG YES CREEK MY CHILD SELF IS VALIDATED”  and the one’s who are like “these are children stop shipping this ew” and on the second half... I see where you’re coming from, because I have a similar sort of fear, in that this show doesn’t exactly touch children’s sexuality (ew) with tweezers, and the fandom is no better. But I do want to note two things here. One, in that shipping doesn’t necessarily pertain to wanting a sexual relationship between characters. I wince a little in Craig x Tweek when Mr. Tweak leans in the doorway, sighs, and says “They’re so gay for each other” because... that’s me, I’ve done that. Not in real life, because shipping live people is just not ok in my opinion and I won’t get into that now, but.... Creek is the first positively shown potentially long term relationship we’ve had in South Park in potentially decades. Sometimes we want prepuberty softrock fluff. That really gross part of the fandom is not intrical to shipping, but I respect your preference to stay away. I ship Creek and I stay the fuck away too.
As for the show, why I’m making this side not in the first place, there was a joke in “Dude Mars Rules” that wouldn’t have been a joke if it wasn’t Cartman and I’m proud of the restraint. I’m talking of course of the first time Cartman saw a vagina. The joke is that it’s Cartman, in that he’s overreacting. But like, if it was anyone other than Cartman that exact scene could have been played completely straight as it was. 
I hate using the term children’s sexuality, because it’s fucking gross but I lack any other term, but it’s a thing that exists. There’s a certain age when everyone’s starting to dip the toes into puberty when everyone is just so fucking curious. I’m as close to Ace as Grey can get, but I have very distinct memories of experiencing the same thing, of other kids experiencing and talking about nothing but the same thing at that same age. Sitting across the room from each other with the lights off, “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours”, having nothing to do with attraction or sex or eroticism and everything to do with not understanding what’s gong on, wanting to know what’s different and what’s normal. Mine was in a bush in the back of a playground with another girl, which was probably a big sign back then, but the fact remains. 
We don’t like to think about it, and certainly don’t like to see it, but kids get curious and kids figure stuff out and this is Another of those things that could have gone horribly, horribly wrong in South Park and didn’t)
Back on track though, Creek is a joke yes, but the joke is not that they’re together. The joke isn’t even that they act like adults in their relationship. (Though they do, that’s never the joke. The joke in their more mature interactions isn’t that it’s mature as in “racy” but mature as in “emotionally mature”. The joke is that the two gay ten year olds faking it work harder and are better at being in a relationship than virtually every adult and other child in the show. Using these two as a juxtaposition with ever other bit of nasty relationship is refreshing.) 
The Joke is that the public perceives their relationship as being a lot more sexual and unstable than it is. The joke is the public’s perception, not the relationship it’self. 
I don’t really see anyone talking about the “eros ultimate combo” from FBW in this context either, in that the cut scene we get is the really obviously “yaoified” version of what’s actually happening. The reference to Yuri on Ice’s “ambiguous” kiss, the flying off clothes, how they go from almost kissing back to the hand holding. I think I’m the only person in the world who thinks that they didn’t kiss (Because what yaoi fangirl wouldn’t squeal and flail and immortalize such a kiss in every exquisite detail if it did happen?)
we are playing into that joke, flailing about it when what actually happens is these two boys go up to each other and hold hands because it grosses everyone out and that’s funny.
So yeah, please don’t let them become a mean joke Trey and Matt. Let these two boys be kids. 
Let them break up over something really stupid and be the end of the world and play out like a sitcom divorce and be super emotional because that’s what it feels like at that age, and then get back together right away and break up and get back together because that’s what kids do when they get a little bored.
Let them hold hands and yell about how they’re dating and gay to everyone who will listen because that’s a big deal to ten year olds and they’re figuring themselves out and as young boys in a fairly machismo saturated town its funny.
Let their first kiss be all puckered lips and chaste and smooshed noses and incredibly awkward and feel like fireworks and the chorus of Whitney Houston’s “I will away love you” because to kids it feels perfect and a huge deal at the time.
Let them do stupid kid things that seem like a big deal.
Feel free to use these boys to showcase the one healthy relationship we’ve seen in this series, for the love of god it’s funny, refreshing, and woefully needed in media, but let👏the👏boys👏be👏children👏! Precocious as hell to back and yes but PLEASE.

(part 1) I noticed ur anti supercorp fandom posts and I'm in tears. You take the action of a few assholes and use it to represent our whole fandom. Every fandom has assholes and sadly people in other fandoms only see the assholes. You can hate a ship but hating on real people will NEVER be okay. I am a sc shipper and karolsen shipper a cser. I am anti slave owners replacing a black love interest and not respecting kara. That has nothing to do with ships and it never will.
I’m sorry but you are an idiot. First of all, if you go to the ao3 where I post it clearly says anti FANATIC side of the sc fandom. 
Secondly, it’s tagged correctly - as anti crack fic. I didn’t even tagged Lena there. Or used “Supercoorp” word. So my question is WHY DID YOU READ IT if you obviously knew it was going tp upset you? Sorry, I’m not sorry but I am NOT responsible of your happiness here if don’t even know how to protect yourself. Don’t like don’t read. How hard it is? Did you send anons to people from your fandom who tag their abusive, gross fics as karamel where they kill Mon, make fun of karamel and make it supercoorp fics? :)
Next. Few idiots? Don’t make me laugh. You need to block more than 300 blogs that are usually SC to scroll karamel tag without seeing hate. Do you want me to post all shit I gathered so far from your fandom that I found in our pro tags? I have hundreds of screen shots. Hating on real people? Go and say that to people from Sc fandom who attack Chris, Melissa and other cast members constantly on social media, on THEIR official accounts. Also, if you call my fic “hating on real people” then wow, you have seen nothing, kid.
First you say: “ I am anti slave owners replacing a black love interest “ and then you say: “That has nothing to do with ships“ :)))))
(part 2) I have NEVER harassed one of the actors. Most of us haven’t. The majority of us were disgusted by the people (who were apparently proven to be trolls but idk the whole story there) who harassed Rahul. The lack of queer representation in the media is no joke. When you turn on the tv you see representation it doesn’t matter the channel or time. It is so easy for you to find a couple that represents you. For me, I have to search so hard. I have yet to find a canon couple that i relate to
Cool for you. A funny story - I haven’t harrassed a soul too. And yeah, you didn’t harass but you also did nothing to stop the haters. The biggest anti accounts still are high and mighty, followed by enormous group of people, their posts have hundreds of notes. Proven to be trolls - lol. Do you tell yourself that before sleep? You have your queer representationm in the show, it was called Sanvers and AgentCanary. CANON. But you decided to ignore that for a CRACK ship. Suit yourself. 
(part 3) so I am stuck with relationships that I don’t really relate to but at least the genders are right. Supercorp is that ship I really relate to. I relate to Kara so much and Lena is exactly my type. It is that one time where I say hey that is like me. I know it won’t happen and that isn’t the problem. Karolsen is also a non-canon ship that people want why wasn’t karolsen made fun of? Before you say it is the fandom I urge you to remember that isn’t most of us.
…you can’t find a ship you can relate along a lot LGBT ships to, but you relate to a ship made by an ALIEN superhero and a super rich genius? It sounds like you need to have some super high standards to relate to a ship. It’s like, you are a blonde, so you can relate to Kara. It sounds like that. And oh boi, my asexual ass can relate so much to the characters in the tv shows - so many characters. TONS. Not that like every of them always just has to end with a romantic interest *sarcasm* Also, I don’t get why you even start to talk about it - ship whatever shit you want and relate to any shit you want - did I say you can’t or something?
And wow, you can’t relate to a lot of ships, just to that ONE, but you can relate to WHOLE SC fandom, made by different people and whatever. Yay.
Karolsen was canon, what show you watch for god’s sake? And Jesus, Karolsen was thrashed in s1 by people. Hello?
(part 4) It left me feeling bad and guilty about who I ship & that the people I look up to hate me. I have something called Borderline Personality Disorder & often think I am worthless & am terrified of abandonment. When the cast said that stuff at SDCC I felt abandoned by people who have never even met me. It made me feel so worthless & awful that these people who I love and support who don’t even know who I am hate me. But please, go on about how awful the sc fandom is and deserved it.
And sorry, but you totally MISSED the point of my fic. it is a satire. It points flaws and problems that run in your precious oh so no abusive and toxic fandom. There is not a SINGLE line that says you should feel ashamed of shipping it. All thing I put there were created by your fandom. YOUR fandom created these things. YOUR fandom started putting abusive not karamel fics in karamel tags. I wrote that fic because of abusive assholes from your fandom. 
I’m sorry you have to deal with your problems and health issues but I ask you again - WHY you read stuff that is CLEARLY not for you and WHY you don’t protect yourself? You want me to make me feel guilty or something? Sorry, but I don’t feel this way, abusive assholes FROM SC FANDOM who told me I should kill myself or sent me gross shit right after my mother died and I was super depressed made my skin thick. But ok, I only have anxiety now, so my problems are not as valid as yours, I guess? Becasue I ship a former slave owner with your precious Kara, huh? Hot damn, life is brutal. Also, I guess people who ship only becasue it makes them happy and they don’t have problems in life are not important and their opinions are not valid. Only people who deal with shit can talk and ship. And their ships are valid. LOL
I think you didn’t realize, but the cast members don’t hate anyone. It’s horrible you felt that way, but they don’t hate you. But you, who deal with your mental problems should understand that they were harassed by fanatic shippers for months and have had enough. And they sang a song about two women being friends. Did they say sc sucks? No. Did they say you should not ship them? No. Did they say you suck? No. Think about it. If you feel hurt by my fic, then think about the cast members that had to read gross shit that was post about them and if you really loved them, think about how they felt.
And seriously - I kind of get what you wanted to say, I kind of know what you feel but I don’t give a CRAP. Why? Because the amount of shit I see from your fandom makes me want to throw up, makes my anxiety worse, wants me to put bleach into my eyes. I understand that you want to be a part of cute, amazing fandom that is nice and cool and wahtever, but it isn’t. Your fandom is a home for some of the worst abusive people I have met on tumblr. And no, not FEW. I guess, I should just ignore the haters, cheer for SC fandom and shut up, huh? Sorry, maybe in a different life.
But seriously, protect yourself, no one is going to do it for you. You mental health  is more important than reading a dumb crack fic and sending long ass message to a person you don’t even know.
