hey what was in the water with the stucky fandom for real they did some off the fucking chainnnn things on ao3 and for what.

the full on courtroom drama fics. the illustrated fics on ao3 that were like fucking baroque oil paintings. the epistolary shit. some mf wrote pieces of a fake book by a historian. we had works cited. this fanfction has a bibliography. how can we bottle this and distribute it en masse to other fandoms.

the thing about brokeback mountain is that Ennis wanted to survive but Jack wanted to live. and can you blame them? you can't blame either of them

toxic dysfunctional complex sibling relationships will always always be IT it'll always sweep it'll always top romance you can't undo a blood bond it'll always exist you can't unmake it it lives it lives you both breathe it and it lives even long after one or both parties are dead

this is why stories with compelling sibling arcs will always fuck you up irreversibly and in very specific way. it's like, you are my mirror you are my opposite you are my foil you are my blood i see myself through you i recognize myself because you exist and no one can ever destroy me quite the way you can.

out of curiosity, does everyone have a certain type of character they get attached to or are urs random

The concept for this was entirely by @zippyyyyyyy after a convo we had about this post:

There are moments in the dead of night when I can't sleep, and I wonder if I will ever be able to truly rest again until I know that Eleanor Guthrie has paid for what she took from me. And then there are other moments when I wonder if it would actually please him to see her dead, to know the scales had been evened. Or if despite all they had been through, despite the anger and the blood and the betrayal and all he'd done to her and she to him, despite what I or you or what anybody else might think of it, if wherever he was, he still didn't just a little bit love her.

I like how black sails asserts that a person's identity stems mostly from their connection to other people. one day I may elaborate

Doomed by the narrative but just enough that you don’t really die (it’s everybody else around you that does)
