why does every reconciliation fic go like this

[mothhue]

How does the moon area in "The Big Parade" work in this AU?

The moon, a giant colorful stage set with flashing lights, big billboards, all that jazz!

From "balloon spectacles" filled with air and colorful powder flying around in vibrant bubbles, disco jellyfish and of course, the crowd and band themselves: it won't be any less of a chaotic dash to finish this parade. Instead of pyrotechnics, the stages sometimes will explode with a cloud of algal bloom, which are pretty if not dangerous to be in. (Tis a bit difficult to breathe in all that algae)

my fever induced dreams have reminded me of the fandom i used to be in before i joined this one 👀👀👀

[cheerfullycatholic]

hi! i'm pro-choice, but as a Christian, i want to start looking into pro-life beliefs and have some questions! i think my biggest question is that do pro-lifers believe that there is never an instance in which abortion is necessary? (ex. if there's a 100% chance the birth will kill the mother, baby, or both, or ectopic pregnancy, or if the mother unfortunately is a child herself or a victim of rape/incest?).

also thank you so much for including healing resources for women who have had abortions in your pinned! not many Christian blogs I've seen show compassion for women who had abortions :( we must remember that a lot of abortions are forced and a lot of women who get them are victims of domestic violence and keep them in our prayers!

Hi!! This is a really good question and I hope you don't mind my long answer!

The short answer is yes, I have not found a reason why abortion would ever be necessary, but please continue reading while I explain why.

I think high risk pregnancies are very important to talk about. They are dangerous and I think if the pro life movement is going to talk about valuing life we need to make sure we're being consistent by valuing the mother's life, as well. I've been seeing a lot more talk about dangerous pregnancies in recent months but I think it should be discussed more.

While there is no denying that high risk pregnancies are incredibly dangerous and sometimes tough decisions have to be made, I do not believe the answer is abortion. But let's talk for a minute about what an abortion is, so that maybe you can understand why I believe what I believe.

An abortion is commonly believed to just "end a pregnancy", but what is a pregnancy exactly? In order for a woman to be pregnant, one thing is always required; a preborn human being. No pregnancy exists without the fusing of a human sperm and human egg, which creates a unique, fully alive human being. To end a pregnancy is to stop the development of that human being. And to stop the development of that human being means to end its life. To kill it. So, an abortion purposefully wills an end to a developing human being, it purposefully kills it.

Now, back to high risk pregnancies. I'm no expert on all of the scenarios and conditions that make up high risk pregnancies, but all of the ones that I've looked into already have treatments in place that do not will an end to a preborn human being. Take preeclampsia as an example. The only treatment for preeclampsia is delivery. A lot of people who support abortion believe that the only solution is to abort the pregnancy- the baby. But thankfully with modern medicine it is entirely possible to monitor the pregnant woman and keep her and her baby safe until they reach a point where they can safely deliver the baby early, and at this point a baby can be viable as early as 21 weeks gestation. So in this situation with preeclampsia and with many other conditions, the baby needs to come out. There's no reason why it has to be killed before it comes out. Does that make sense?

Now, sometimes a baby needs to be removed before the point of viability, like with an ectopic pregnancy, which sadly does not have any life saving treatment for the preborn human being yet. But again, why does it need to be killed before it is removed? Very unfortunately, all ectopic pregnancies do end in the death of the baby, but I firmly believe that the life affirming approach to them is respecting the God given dignity of those babies, created and infinitely loved by God, by carefully remove them and allowing them to die naturally and peacefully surrounded by their loved ones. Not killed.

At the very center of the pro life movement's beliefs is protecting the life and dignity of all of God's sons and daughters. That means protecting them regardless of whether or not they're planned or wanted, have a fatal diagnosis, or if they were conceived in a horrible and violent way, like with rape and incest. Those crimes are truly awful and I will never be able to properly express my sorrow for the women and girls who suffer it. It is because of my love for them and for human life as a whole that I and the pro life movement could never support or condone abortion in these situations. Pregnancies that come from these situations still involve a living human being, a human being who has done nothing wrong. There are many stories of women who were pregnant from rape, had their children, and said that their babies helped them to heal from their trauma, and there's many who got an abortion who said it just caused more. And we cannot forget the people conceived from rape who say they love their lives and are grateful that their mothers chose life for them. Those people exist, and their lives are just as valuable as those conceived out of love. So the pro life movement firmly believes that rapists should be the ones held accountable, not the children, and that we need to find more, better life affirming ways to help women and girls in these situations, and thankfully I've been seeing more crisis pregnancy centers offering that help themselves or referring women to places that can, like Rachel's Vineyard.

To end my answer I really want to highlight how absolutely important it is to pray for and support these women, like you said. A lot of abortions are forced or unwanted but so many women believe it's their only option when it's not. They don't need judgement, they need love, care, compassion, support. And unfortunately, some Christians and some people in the pro life movement do not offer that and it's shameful. I believe that if we all got our priorities straight we could do much good, but at the end of the day, we're human, and we fall short. Prayer is necessary always, but especially for women facing difficult pregnancies or scary situations and for these people who've forgotten that Christ died for all, not just the ones they deem worthy.

Starmania iceberg, done in collaboration with fellow starmaniacs on our starmania discord server !! we tried to go from well-known/obvious facts to more obscure references. How many of these do you know ?

[nnayomaise]

was thinking about these panels and about how lucky they are that mithrun doesn't give a shit. mithrun literally saw thistle (and was the only one aside from laios and co and yaad) to see thistle after the winged lion ate his desires- he would have absolutely noticed that his desires were eaten and the discrepancy in laios' party saying they defeated him

and then i thought

marcille saying this, is likely the entire reason why he starts asking if they've met before and tries to catch her in a lie

[bucknastysbabe]

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @spotsandsocks. Thank you for the tag!!

How many works do you have on Ao3?

59

What's your total Ao3 word count?

250,243 words

What fandoms do you write for?

Currently only 911. In the past, Supernatural, Shameless, Bones, and BtVS.

Top 5 fics by kudos:

Breaking News

The jury's out, but my choice is you

On the Outside

say (don't) go

Believe in one thing, I won't go away

Do you respond to comments?

Honestly, no. Trying to respond stresses me out. It can take me literally hours to figure out how to respond to a single comment, and then I feel like, if I respond to one, I have to respond to all immediately, and my anxiety can't handle it. So I've mostly stopped responding. Every now and then, I will respond to a friend because I don't stress over those, or if someone makes a weird comment where they seem to have misunderstood something I might respond to try to clear things up.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

For 911, honestly, I don't think I have any angsty endings. Plenty of angsty fics, but most of my endings are happy or at least hopeful. I guess I would maybe say the one with the angstiest ending is Believe in one thing, I won't go away, but the end is still pretty hopeful.

Outside of 911, the angstiest ending was definitely in a little Supernatural fic I wrote many years ago titled The Things They've Left Behind. It's also one of fics I'm proudest of. But it's a rough one.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Honestly, there are quite a few happy endings to my fics, but I think say (don't) go takes this one. It's a little angsty through the main story, but the epilogue is just pure fluff.

Do you get hate on fics?

Not often, but once or twice. More often than hate for the fic, I get sort of weird hate comments about side characters in the story. Like, I'll have a fic where Taylor Kelly is kind of in the background, but not in any way written hatefully or even negatively, and people will just go off on the character in the comments, which is weird and not a great look. Don't do this, y'all.

I did once get a hate comment accusing me of villainizing Eddie based on the summary alone, I believe. I responded, and they apologized, which I appreciated. But I will never understand people's need to toss around accusations without even reading the actual fic.

Do you write smut?

I have in the past, but not recently. I really have to be in a very specific mood to write smut, and often I just cannot tap into the focus I'd need for it because I generally find writing smut boring. So it takes me forever to actually finish anything even a little bit smutty. I've had a post vow renewal smut fic in the works since the vow renewal aired, and I just can't get it together.

So. Often not my cup of tea as a writer.

Craziest Crossover:

Okay, I don't have this posted on Ao3 (I think it's on ff.net?), but I once wrote a series of Sam Winchester/Temperance Brennan fics. Those were fun times.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so. I had a couple of fanvids stolen back when I vidded for Bones, but never fics, I don't think.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I think someone asked once and may have done the translation? I can't remember if anything ever came of it, though.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have not. I don't have the focus or discipline to co-write with anyone. I would immediately lose focus and cause everything to go off the rails, and I would never want to do that to someone else.

All time favorite ship?

All time? I don't know. I really want to say buddie, but also, like Mulder/Scully and Sam/Dean. Honestly, I tend to be just very, very attached to my ship of the moment, so answering for all time is tough.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Probably this Natalia finds out about Chris fic because I keep accidentally fogetting it exists, which. is hindering progress.

What are your writing strengths?

I honestly don't know. I think maybe emotional scenes or angst?

What are your writing weaknesses?

A lot. Focus is the worst. I just don't really have it, and it makes writing near impossible. I also don't think I'm any good at scene transitions or dialogue sometimes.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I wouldn't personally do it because I don't have enough of any other lanuage to feel comfortable with it. I might use a word here or there if the character uses it regularly and I feel generally comfortable with the context and/or translation. I also don't love when people drop in dialogue or things in other languages and admit to just using google translate because that feels. not great.

I also don't think it should be translated in the middle of the fic. Sometimes, it's okay to not understand every single word of a fic, and people who speak and write in other languages shouldn't have to translate every word for their readers over a couple of lines in another language. Which might be a weird take, but that's where I stand on it, I think.

First fandom you wrote in?

Like, in my little notebooks before the internet was a thing in my house, it was The X-Files when I was like 8-11. That I posted in a fandom I actually interacted with, I think it was BtVS.

Favorite fic you've written?

This one's kind of a toss up. For 911, I think it's probably one of the following:

I got nothing to believe (unless you're choosing me)

say (don't) go

You were bigger than the whole sky

Home

I know I should narrow it down more, but I don't know. That first one is probably recency bias and the fact that parts of it are deeply personal to me. The second is the Eddie wants kids fic, which I worked on for months, so it has a special place in my heart. The third one is kind of a weird little experiment that was just unlike anything I'd ever written before. And the fourth one is a post break-up fic, and I really enjoyed playing with that kind of angst.

So they were all pretty different, and I can't choose.
