The ornate of our love

i've been staring at this since the moment you posted it and i keep finding new stuffies every time, i love it so much sdfghjkl

As a fic author can we talk about readers who follow you to fandoms they don’t even know because i would hand my firstborn child to them

okay, i've had enough character development. now i want a nice peaceful life with my soulmate.

will you just let me be silly for a sec. there's this dread so ancient in me

Reblog and put in the tags how often you “clean” your tumblr account, deleting old posts.

Tumblr actually has an auto clean function! Where the search function immediately forgets tags and posts making them un-findable

i think deciding to love someone continually is like reading the same book again, but each time finding a different line that hits deep and makes you think about something you didn't realize before. and you decide to read it again and again, knowing you'll never get enough of it, knowing you'll always find something new about them to love.

calm down please

I took my dad to pride today. After asking him and saying what itt might entail, I made him a free dad hugs sign:

While walking there, a lot of people pointed at him and said it was a cute idea. They were right.

My (and his) personal highlights were:

My dad said that the majority of people hugging him were either older (25-60) queer men or younger (15-25) trans people. He really loved the experience and felt like a lot of the people, especially the older guys really needed it.

Anyway we're definitely doing this again next year

calling that word document a draft by the way im dodging it haha

Annie always wakes up at night , she looks at Armin if he is awake too or not , he is usually a sleep , so Annie stays awake and stares at him while he sleeps , sometimes .. she approaches him .. and hugs him slowly, thinking.. how she ended up with someone as perfect like Armin ?

I won't.

i just saw a video on tiktok of someone complaining about fanfic writers who have the ✨audacity✨ not to complete a fic. that it’s rude, it’s inconsiderate, it’s disrespectful of the readers emotional investment. and then a whole bunch of commenters saying underneath that this is why they won’t read incomplete fics, that they’ve seen authors go from updating every week to horror of horrors only every month. and because i am a wise and mature individual i’m not going to stitch the video dragging them to hell but instead i’m coming here to you beloved tumblr dot com to bitch behind their back

because i know we’ve said this before but the emerging culture of fanfic writers as content creators and readers as consumers is fucking disgusting. it breeds attitudes exactly like this and turns something that is fundamentally anti-capitalist into another cycle of produce compete exploit where your worth is based on how quickly you can meet consumers needs

it’s called archive of our own for a reason. its about repurposing these stories for ourselves, for our own enjoyment and interest whether thats i want to right the wrongs of this author or i want to see what happens if this one tiny plot point changed or i want to make these characters tie each other up and fuck until they cry. its about sharing as a community, leaving these stories in a communal toy box so people who come along in a few months or few years can enjoy them too

tl;dr keep your fucking capitalist little mittens away from our stories

Every time someone comes back to tumblr to bitch about the kids without fully developed prefrontal cortexes running their mouths on tiktok an angel gets its wings.

It is an honor and privilege to be in fandom. And I hope the next gen learns what it means to be part of a creative community, and that art is for expression and not consumption. These kids have creativity and stories to share, too, and how sad would it be if those perspectives are lost to late stage capitalistic content consumption.

Bc the thing is, we will still be here when they want someone to listen to them, to the stories they want to write. Because fandom literally exists outside of capitalism, and therefore *will* outlast all other forms of media. We literally can’t make money off this. That is how badly we want to share these ideas and these thoughts, in the hopes that someone will see them and hear them and think “yeah, me too.” Or “I never thought of it this way” or just “fuck that was completely batshit.” We stay in a world that is copyrighted for a reason. It puts us in the driver’s seat; the story literally can’t be manipulated or controlled by systems of power generated by capitalism. We know when we read fic there is zero ulterior motive behind the story besides “here, world, have a piece of my brain.”

AND LIKE ISNT THAT SUCH A PRIVILEGE.

And that’s why we tag and give CWs and blah blah blah because that is *our* responsibility. To be forthright about what we are saying so readers can make an informed choice whether or not to engage. We even denote if we are writing something that isn’t finished! That little “Chapter number/?” can help you decide what level of commitment you are willing to give to a piece.

But to promise endings? For brain thoughts? My siblings in christ do YOUR brain thoughts have endings??? Are they worthless if they don’t??

Anyway.

Me n the rest of us will be here sharing our weird ideas and cheering for each other’s brain thoughts, whether they are finished or not.

Xoxo go sit girl

having a cat rlly is just horror movie shit. walk into your home and everything is slashed and something is moving in the back corner of the house. hands coming up underneath your bedroom door in the middle of the night and rattling it. hanging your foot off the bed and something grabs it and starts biting

When my kiddo finally decided (at age 20) that it was time for (most of) his enormous Lego collection to go, it was a gut-wrenching moment for me (goodbye childhood!). However, we used this service, which was simple and hassle-free.

This is wonderful to know.

a very romanian thing is that if someone gets something new, you wish them to use it healthy, like if it's clothes or shoes or jewelry you say "wear them healthy!", if it's like a car or so "drive it healthy!" etc you get the idea. but also a very romanian thing is that if someone does something you don't agree with and are done arguing about it, you snap "do that, and be healthy, cuz i'm done with this" or if you hear from someone else that they did that you also snap "may they be healthy", with an obligatory head or hand gesture to show just how disapproving you are of what they did

hello beloveds ☺️

made an alternate version for the mutuals ive never spoken to

You are appreciated

We all need someone in our moments of weakness..
