Write the smut you want to see in the world, OP!

[(Anonymous)]

I wish people would realize that this isn't really helpful advice.

[mishey22]

It was for me 🤷‍♀️

[(Anonymous)]

Right? One) I can't write Two) If I wanted to 'read' my own fics, I can just stick to daydreaming.

[(Anonymous)]

They're still not wrong about DIY being the cheapest, easiest way of potentially getting it to happen. Admittedly it's pretty much the only advice though.

I mean you can take the option of paying someone to write a fic, but if you want to find a fic of a thing and there's none of it, writing one or two or a half dozen and tossing a few requests in a kink meme is the most effective way to potentially get someone else to do it.

The idea cannot be spread if the concept is not loosed into the wild. Doesn't matter if it's a good/bad fic or good/bad art, the point is putting the idea out there to suggest the concept to other people. If it's bad, someone might think 'I can do this better, so I'll do it' if it's good, someone might think 'hey I like this thing, I'd like some more' and proceed to produce more.

If you can't write or draw at all, pay people to do it for you, or make requests in gift exchanges.

All that said, the advice is only applicable if you actually want to change things. Sympathy seeking or venting complaints are a valid thing to do in disappointment to not having content for a ship you want available. It won't actually change anything in terms of getting that content, but wanting to complain and complaining does have personal benefits.

[(Anonymous)]

But it is. The only way to learn to write is to try and to practice. Even putting it in your drawer is better than not lifting a finger (and complain).

[(Anonymous)]

BE the smut you want to see in the world! Find the corpse of your past life and FUCK. IT.

[(Anonymous)]

1. Not everyone who'd like to read fics can write.
2. Writing a fic and then reading it is NOT the same experience as finding fics for the pairing you're into.


I'm sure you mean well, but please be more mindful that this common suggestion is not something that will work for most people and it's a really, really unsatisfying piece of advice.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, and venting your disappointment is super constructive and satisfying. /s

[(Anonymous)]

you know, i played through this game back in the day and i do not remember a single thing that happened in it. not one. i do not know who that lady next to yuna is. i think her name begins with an L? why are they dressed the same? i have no idea.

for some reason i purged the entire plot from memory the second i was finished.

[(Anonymous)]

Lenne.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure how you're supposed to ship Yuna with a dead woman who she's possibly the reincarnation of?

Maechan seemed to imply that Yuna was Lenne's reincarnation. So, self-shipping?

Granted, the plot of x-2 is not the most logical or sensible. It was SUPPOSED to be about Yuna moving on from Tidus but if you got the PERFECT ending. Screw that. -shrugs-

[(Anonymous)]

Yuna isnt Lenne's reincarnation, the dressphere (which came from Lenne's signature look) was reacting to Yuna wearing it.

[(Anonymous)]

...it would be hard to garner a shipping fan base where the ship is composed of a woman who has been dead for a 1000 years and the other is possibly her reincarnation. Unless you mean it in like a weird inanimate way where you humanize the dressphere?? Like no shame but the very concept is a super hard sell.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't see why Lenne being dead should stop anyone. Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom routinely has selfcest ships where one person has been dead for 3000 years and the other person is their reincarnation/literally the other half of their soul

[(Anonymous)]

was just coming in to say basically the same. If you think someone being dead or a reincarnation or from an entirely different reality is enough to stop a fandom from shipping things - booooooy, have I got new for you

[(Anonymous)]

Lenne has 10 minutes of screen time (half of which are repeated flashbacks showing the same thing over and over again) in a 40ish hour game that’s a very love it or hate it sequel to a beloved 40ish hour other game. as opposed to YGO having Yami and Yugi sharing equal amounts of screentime over the course of a 100+ episode anime. So yeah I’d say Lenne being dead contributes to her lack of character/popularity since she doesn’t take any active role in the plot as opposed to all the dead and reincarnated characters of YGO.
