M'kay. So, you're going through a rough patch in your life. To cope, you write a long Kingdom Hearts fan fiction in which you your sue original character instantaneously gets accepted/befriended by the Organization, because she needs friends and comfort.

Um, no.

Listen; everyone has a burden to deal with on a day to day basis. It ranges from ( Read more... )

common sense, serious business, mary sue, original characters, rape, angst, violence

Hello again. :D

It's like 2 in the morning and I'm exhausted, so I'll have to keep it short, but WORD. Especially the rape bit; these people have no idea what it's like. It's horrible. *has a friend/fellow Guess model model who was raped*

Long story short, wordcakes to the rant and nice to see you again. <3

Hello there! :)

(you're a model?) No one I've ever known has been raped, thank god, but I've gotten the gist of it by looking around the internet (unlike the authors who acutally write the fics Dx)

Ohhh, wordcakes! *accepts them* :D YAY.

and lol at the typo. I always type things twice when I'm tired. Birds of a feather, eh? *replying to this in the morning morning*

:D

(haha, yeah, I'm a model for Guess. It's a designer) That's good, I hope it stays that way. Rape is never a good thing to deal with.

Of course! *gives more wordcakes and the Sexy Lexaeus icon*

Same here! Great minds think alike XD. Yay typing words twice twice.

I friended you a little while ago - I hope it's okay? If it's not I'll change it. :D

Have a wordcake.

Especially about "OMG! My dad is so mean!" or whatever. There are kids out there who have divorced parents. There are kids who get beaten up by their parents/guardians. There are kids who have never met one (or both) of their parents. There are kids who have been through their parents' deaths. There are kids who are born into seriously poor families, have to struggle to survive and witness death quite frequently.

Sora has been through a journey where he nearly lost his two closest friends and had the burden of saving the world (twice). Riku destroyed his entire home, as well as ended up nearly letting the end of the entire universe happen. Kairi lost her heart in the first adventure and got kidnapped in the second. Where does an OC who is so upset because her family doesn't understand her fit in?

And I'll give you Word about the rape as well.

Hey, another wordcake! Thankies~.

*nods to your comments* Exactly; you probably did a better job of me saying it =D *hands you a word cookie for it*

the Kingdom Hearts game seems to make every day troubles a little less important. Someone with the OC's problems would be better at home in a Final Fantasy or Star Ocean game. *nod*

(and yay for the word!)

MUCH word.

Seriously, I don't understand the logic behind rape fics where the victims actually ENJOY it. Argh.

Or, if the victim doesn't enjoy it, all it takes is a side glance/attention from a canon character, and they've completely forgotten it and are a-okay! *cheesy smile, then gags*

I thought the fact that the victim was being forced - as in they are making her (or him) have sex and she does not want it, but she is unable to stop it - would be a clear indication that she wouldn't enjoy it.

Bleeh. XD I can see the irritation about 'my lahfe iz woe' fic. Lord knows I';ve writted doofy catharsisfic myself, but I tend...not to post it. XD It's for my own doofy enjoyment, and most of it is poor, so hey ( ... )

Complete and utter <3 for your rant.

>_> When I was in high school many many moons ago I used to write to get frustrations out, but there was no way in HELL anyone was going to see that crap that I wrote.

I write NOW to get my frustrations out, but it's an outlet, a relaxation tool and has nothing to do with my troubles when I write. >_> Some people need to learn how to separate the two.

The rape/abuse fics make me want to beat someone up. People who have never been victims or know victims can fathom how truly shitty it really is. Rape is NOT a tool for sympathy, the psychological impacts go on for years on end-- *tears hair out*

Just.. and the Organization as sympathizers? No, no and NO! *ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH*
