My First Try At A Slightly Spicier Radioapple Is Complete! Happy Sunday, Sinners! I Had A Blast Adding

My first try at a slightly spicier radioapple is complete! Happy Sunday, sinners! I had a blast adding in the many tiny details in the environment- for example: at full size, find all the duckies (and Lu's wedding ring, it's hiding too)! After Amir's recent comment, I like to think maybe Al is playing 'Fever' softly for them 💕

Hello! I'm aware there is a lot of discontent around shipping Alastor with anyone since it's been stated that he is an asexual character and I would also like to throw my two cents out into the void pertaining to the issue. I *really* like radioapple. My lizard brain spouted "they gon' fuck" as soon as I saw "Dad Beat Dad". I find it super charming and enemies-to-lovers is naturally hella entertaining in my opinion - so I started reading radioapple fics and **they may have actually taught me something about myself. ** I'm on the older side (37), and have always just referred to myself as bisexual. I never really considered anything else because when I was younger and learning my own identity, all of the super specified language just wasn't available to me. It didn't really cross my mind to reexamine those conclusions as time passed, because I was under the impression (as many others also seem to be) that asexual meant "ABSOLUTELY ZERO SEX OR SEX-ADJACENT THINGS FOREVER, NO, NYET, NINE" and aromantic meant "ABSOLUTELY DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS, NEVER EVER, NOPE". ...I am definitely not the only one, as this does seem to be the sticking point people argue about when shipping Al with literally anyone. After reading many, many radioapple fics written by people within the asexual and aromantic spectrums, I feel like I've gotten a better handle on the categorization and shockingly (to me, at least) it seems *I* am actually also very aromantic and moderately touch averse (though I would not consider myself asexual). Who would have thunk that fanfic would teach me a very important fact about myself? It was like I was given a key to understanding why my relationships are always so troubled and why I seem to HATE being in relationships, despite repeatedly diving back into them. I literally give each new partner a whole-ass speech about how *incredibly* uncomfortable overly romantic crap makes me feel and how if they start badgering me/guilting me about the whole 'love' concept incessantly, I will likely freak out and end the relationship... and EVERY TIME they pull that crap and then try to guilt me by claiming that they "didn't think I was serious". If I had the language to explain I was aromantic and touch averse (when not specifically gettin' down), I think I could have avoided a lot of damage. Maybe. Anyway, I just wanted to state that shipping an ace or aro/ace character and writing fanfic that actually explains their thought process and feelings can be a SUPER beneficial thing. I don't know why it wasn't obvious to me that nothing is ever 100% black and white, but again, I don't seem to be the only person who believed that. I would gently urge some of the fans who are hardcore (and vocally) *against* shipping Al with anyone to read some of the fics and maybe it can help them adjust their perspective a bit too - just like it helped me. BUT - this *IS* the internet, so if you just want to shout angrily into the void, you can do that too! Two cents complete.

Gossips!

Commission for @radioapple-heathen its for their Radioapple fic: Loml

Sins meetings are tiring!

Hey-o, guys! I just saw a post on Twitter about someone (or multiple someone’s) who’s unhappy with the top/bottom dynamic in radioapple, and has been posting comments on peoples fics about it.

I’ve answered a lot of asks and talked with a lot of you about our frustrations with top/bottom dynamics in radioapple, and I hope it’s no one here who’s flooding peoples fics with comments about it, but PSA:

Do not harass anyone who doesn’t share your opinions on a character or a ship dynamic.

It doesn’t matter how frustrating it is, or how much you dislike it, leave people alone. You can rant and talk about it with fans who share your opinion, that’s harmless and cathartic, but don’t seek other fans out and bombard them with opinions and character takes that they didn’t ask for. Don’t go out of your way to personally criticize someone’s work just because it doesn’t match your view of a character/ship.

That’s not cool. It’s very very rude actually. I will once again reiterate, if you do not like what someone is writing/drawing, then do not engage in their content. Block them if you have to. It’ll be better for both of you.

Let’s keep fandom fun guys ✌️no hate commenting, or hate spamming.

must keep the short king at eye sight so no one will accidentaly step on him
