What was the first fanfic everyone read? Any ship, any fandom...

dungeons & dragons honor among thieves (2023)

Imagine you're an actor on Gotham Knights and you're planning to come out for pride month 2k23 and you confide this in human low battery smoke alarm MISHA COLLINS and he proceeds, before you can come out, to vague tweet about how of someone comes out while he's on his "meditation retreat" he's very proud of them and the insane destiel cockles girlies assume this is about human manscaped ad Jensen Ackles and now you can't fucking come out because everyone is going to lose their fucking minds about whether you coming out means jackles is straight and you can't even bitch out Misha because he turned his phone off while he's getting his asshole bleached in Tahoe

every day the supernatural fandom sends emails.

which they do because Misha Collins is committing psychic warfare against them WHAT THE FUCK

this tweet is less than a day old and i can already hear in the hall of the mountain king.

This is where the violins come in.

also dam collapse is a really strange way of saying blown up by russia

YOUTUBE???!!???

I mean, I guess I believe it could happen? Christ.

(And I feel so ancient.)

(chuckle) 1973.

Bound paper Trek fanfics from underneath a dealer's table at (I think) Lunacon.

(pausing to check the date) Yeah, it was '73: Harlan was the GoH that year. :)

i was drawing something serious for this beautiful movie and then i immediately was struck with inspiration for something stupid.

do most aa fans know that the ace attorney series changed hands after apollo justice. like do they know this won't be a coherent trilogy and that branding this the "apollo justice trilogy" makes it seem like they put genuine care into apollos story in 5 and 6

It’s a good thing.

one of the reasons why "what if people went on a road trip and it was weird" is one of the oldest story types is that a lot of sense of personhood has been, historically, tied to place. the weird road trip says "what if we went somewhere else, where no one knows us, and tried out being a different person".

Odysseus, the famous liar, goes on a weird road trip & over the course of it becomes several different people, and then comes home & is all those people as well as himself, wearing the echoes of those other people

What’s that quote? There are only two kinds of stories: a man goes on a journey, or a stranger comes to town.

Shout out to anyone that ever made a character that’s a ‘Secret Government experiment’ that escapes the lab and is now wanted and misunderstood. That’s top tier character design, thank you.

In which Klavier threatens to outplay Apollo in court, and sends Apollo into crisis.

the way many queer people (especially us white ones) talk about "finding" community is not that far off from how cishets discuss their search for a (somehow already perfect) "soul mate".

both communities and romantic partnerships are dynamic, unique relationships that you cultivate and adapt yourself to. they are not already-perfect end states that somehow already exist without you, which you then find and claim for yourself. the bonds that a true friendship requires, the networks of support, the fond memories, the sense of trust, the shared history -- none of those things can just pop up from thin air. they take years to build. and it is the impact of all that effort that makes them worth building.

A community is a series of relationships, & like any relationship, you build it. you create it, and recreate it, with every effort you place into it. when the effort is not made, it does not exist.

i love girls with no ‘maternal warmth’. girls who are affectionate in awkward ways. girls who are not ‘caregivers’ so much as care needers. girls who mean well but come across as assholes. girls who don’t mean well. girls who cry a lot but it isn’t ‘cute’ it’s just annoying. girls who aren’t always the most beautiful one in the room. girls who are obnoxious. girls who kind of suck but u can’t help but love them bc they really are just trying,

I really hated this girl in my class and we kept exchanging notes with various threats of violence on them but then on a Zoom call I saw that she kept a bunch of them pinned on her wall with little hearts around them and I got the biggest crush on her after that.

ever.
