some notable catchphrases of 2013:

transition is like putting on the oxygen mask thingy in the airplane. first you trans your own gender for safety and then you help with everyone else's.

"You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves."

-- Chief Si'ahl (often anglicized as "Seattle")

My lover has gone to war(ao3 is down). I was talking to him(reading a fanfic) when a soldier kicked down the door(I hit the next chapter button) and dragged him out to fight(503 error). I miss him dearly, and I can't wait for him to return(I am internally screaming bc I can't read the next chapter).

LESBIAN CLOWN WEDDING

Love you forever @frenzyarts 💞

Something I love about the romance in The Locked Tomb is how Gideon as our first POV narrator is like "this is Harrowhark Nonagesimus, she thrives on scorn and ambition and death" and as a seasoned enemies-to-lovers fan, my first reaction was "I love it, I support women's rights and wrongs, and I can't wait to see this cold evil character discover feelings eventually" but then the plot twist is actually that Harrow is a pathetic desperate emo who barely needs an excuse to say the most romantic shit imaginable.

Which is already a good payoff and the characterization is superb, but then you see inside Harrow's head in the next book and discover that despite her trauma and 35 mental illnesses, she is so much of a fucking soft marshmallow simp that not even her DIY lobotomy can keep her from indulging in a coffeeshop AU (?!?!) to soothe her yearning soul. Which makes rereading GtN delightful because now you can read between the lines and realise like "oh wow, she was down bad the whole time and Gideon just didn't notice". It gives so much lesbian Pride and Prejudice that you can only fully appreciate during a reread. I adore it.

i love you visible brushstrokes. i love you glue warped scrapbook pages. i love you awkward poems. i love you junk journal with faded receipts. i love you poorly composed journal layout. I love you unintentionally blurry photographs. i love you asymmetrical beading. i love you curling freeform crochet. i love you fingerprints on pottery. i love you reused materials. i love you improvised instruments. i love you mistakes. i love you bravery to make it anyway. i love you creativity that hasn't been wiped clean of every drop of humanity and sanitized and commodified.

every locked tomb character is one of the characters of all time but ortus nigenad really is The Character Of All Time my guy brought a fanfiction to the gun fight AND WON

For one chapter of one book, Ortus Nigenad singlehandedly changed the entire genre of the Locked Tomb series with a simple "observe my stand,「The Man in Black」"
