Desert Peach person seems to gotten what they wanted.

Surprisingly, it's also really good.

hi aquatics

Sorry but LOL. I know you have a grudge but is it seriously bad form for them to hype up their gift? The PHer maybe had to pick up a fandom to write it, and from your POV they took a bullet/helped make sure the collection wasn't ~held hostage.

AYRT is either aquatics being a good recip by de-anoning to rec their gift, which is more than the majority of coal is willing to do based on all the OMG MY GIFTS IS AMAZING and then crickets when asked for links/hints - or, they are a random driveby rubbernecker reporting back on earlier wank and reccing the work of the author, which is again more than the majority "I found good fic in the wild" coalies do, as evidenced by the crickets when asked for links on those vague comments.

Do you seriously think bringing wank to the gifts will help your cause at all? If people worry that they'll have wank by association, the PHs will dry up and then you really will have exchanges delayed for days on end.

Who cares if it is aquatics. If it is, good for them talking about a fic they like and have wanted for a long time. If it isn't, I'm glad to know that they did get the fic since aquatics gets mentioned here and on FFA so damn often.

God, I wish I was still living in 2013. How’d you get there, coalie? Where’s the portal?

Oh no, not fandoms with fictional Nazis! *clutches pearls* So problematic and wrong.

Re: Diamonds

Tbh I’m still amazed at the fact that when I checked out the summary the nazi characters are secretly against the regime.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

Shhh, coalie. Stop getting in the way of condemning problematic content. Let's not ruin things with logic and reason, shall we?

Re: Diamonds

You certainly wouldn't think that from the Discourse™ which would have us believe we're looking at the second coming of ars_belli.

I wish I knew what the troll's actual beef with Aquatics is. There's a total disconnect between the ragey wank and the canon being an anti-Nazi comedy.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think they have an actual beef. They just smelled blood in the water and went for it. There's a handful of other people they go after periodically also, and regularly get frozen for, but they never get any traction, because their ~reasons for going after those people are things like "the person ships this ship I don't like, ew." And people are less likely to take that bait.

Re: Diamonds

I get the impression that some people just can't deal with any nuance regarding fictional Germans during WWII. If a fictional character lives in Nazi Germany, they have to either be a hero who saves Jews and works against the regime, a victim of persecution or an evil Nazi. This thing where they're in the Wehrmacht and also persecuted and also sort of subversive just breaks people's minds.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's a single person. It's a mix of a (?) troll having found a target that gets a satisfying rise out of people, a bunch of antis, and at least one person who has a hateboner for frequent PHs and finds Aquatics a much easier target than other people on the PH ists who have good egg status.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

"the troll" is aquatics self-trolling. It's become very clear. They never get any shit for the fandom stuff they actually post; the "trolling" always comes up when they're trying to get people to join their fandom.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

You know, I was Team Let the Anon Fuck the Fruit Nazis, but Aquatics is being so fucking annoying over in the FFA recs thread right now I'm beginning to change my mind.

Don't do this coy "This idfic has X, Y and Z!" [five comments later] "Oh, btw it's also about Nazis, remember to check the warnings!" bullshit. If you're going rec fictional Nazis you do you, but warn for that up front. Especially if the damn fic is tagged "pure Germanic male relations".

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

Anon who they did that to

Mostly, they should have just linked to it directly. Like, I don't know them from a bucket of paint, but that certainly did not give me a good impression of them, particularly with that tag.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

DC Tbh the whole thing was so heavy-handed and so bound to go down exactly as it did (poorly) that it makes me wonder whether it was really Aquaticus or whether it was Aquaticus-hating anon just wanting to stir up wank.

Re: Diamonds

Stooooooop trying to make this comvo happen here just bc the mods will freeze it over there.

You do realize you’re forcing us all to read about Nazis by talking about this bitch over and over right? The mods could freeze/screen their rec and you could move on, and we would all be spared Nazitalk.
