I will be having a perfectly fine day and then I’ll remember that Merlin was holding Arthur’s body like he could make him stand up again

I like how I gave Frida two flags when she only needed one, meanwhile David has to squish both flags together. To be fair, it’s just like Frida to be incredibly organised and bring multiple back up flags, and for David to panic and not do that.

so sick and tired of people writing fics about jeremy treating kevin like shit over kevin leaving jean at the nest like that is either 1) in character 2) something jean would appreciate or 3) fair. do you even bother to read the books you’re writing fanfic about or is the urge to create cheap angst so overwhelming you can’t see past the tropes you write for every other fictional pairing you like? the idea that jean would appreciate jeremy going out of his way to poke old wounds in his and kevin’s relationship when jean himself does not even like for jeremy to joke about kevin near him is absurd, and that’s without mentioning the fact that jeremy is not so clueless as to think he has any idea of what the nest was like, or why kevin felt he had to leave the way he did. if you need something to make your ship more interesting thinking beyond your flat interpretation of it is a lovely start, but don’t use kevin’s name and storyline if you’re just going to butcher it for the sake of a milquetoast sob fest the characters involved in would not even appreciate

i’ve got a question to ask out of curiosity about the eah community’s general consensus

since the books and the show have different continuities and also within the world of the supplementary Ever After High media, the books themselves differ in continuity depending on series/author, i have a feeling this answer could vary depending on one’s bias…

i’m not adding an “other” option because you’re crazy if you think they met in infancy/as toddlers or if you genuinely believe the beginning of canon in the show (start of legacy year) is legitimately when they first meet.

So do you ever think about Jon embracing being non human and becoming a worse but much much happier version of himself or are you normal

I am thinking about Jonathan Sims having a fraying connection with humanity All Of The Time. Jon who is drawn to the Eye not just because he needs to know but because being an Avatar just feels Right. Jon who has always struggled to connect with the people around him. Jon who feels he was never human in some fundamental way to begin with, always reaching for all the things humans are supposed to be that he has never been. Jon eternally caught between the knowledge that if he ever stops trying he can only hurt the people around him but if he never stops trying he will always be crushed under the weight of his own stifling humanity. Jon shedding his false skin and feeling nothing but relief even though he knows he is going to hurt people now, and more than ever before, and he is not ever going to stop because the chains are gone and they can’t be put back. This is because I am extremely normal and have no problems at all.

(I think there’d probably be some good Jon/Jonah parallels here if we had ever gotten to see Jonah as he was just starting out. Like genuinely do you see the Vision?)

(I do believe this post is like. Maybe the most articulate I have ever been on the subject. Do you fucking know how much “a tragic loss of life, etc. etc.” fucking Haunts me? I don’t have the words to explain it now and I don’t think I did before either but it changed my brain chemistry please I don’t know what to say but I desperately need to say it.)

(I think this was maybe more. Adjacent to what you meant maybe? Unfortunately I got caught on This Concept and I’m trapped in it now. I hope this is alright)

Fellow writer: I think when you say "glazed over" sometimes, you mean "glossed over". I guess it's semantics, and that error is more common in gen Z writing (so maybe it will even become standard), but I found it confusing.

maybe i was just thinking about donuts ;)

just kidding—thank you! i thought they were interexchangable.

I love how I’m a queer person who writes fanfics yet my fics while diving into my sexuality-I’ve written a bit of straight content but I may be bi, yet it’s still clear I’m into MLM-I’ve barely touched the surface of my gender.

I’ve written Kei being trans as fuck sure but no one knows how much I hold back gender stuff with Ryoma and it’s not because I think some loser will be hung up, I just don’t know how to literally execute the ideas I’ve had because there’s either not enough room for it or if I could pull it off.

[amethysttribble]

Yeah I just figured out why I hate the term Eldest Daughter Syndrome as used commonly on the internet in general, but specifically in fandom-

It’s because it’s always bestowed as a badge of honor, meant to make someone seem meow meow blorbo-able, but the person I know best who actually fucking suffered for that phenomenon didn’t become slightly uwu anxious or a soft people pleaser or the most kind child caretaker ever or so #relatable tired

It made her a cunt

[compacflt]

i love your insight! i don't read other fics so i'm mostly just invented in the world you created. super excited for the slider one shot!! anyway the memoir is from 2020, but this is something he apparently came up with in 1986 while filming because he was frustrated by the lack of character depth ice had and was just out of juilliard and essentially forced to be in top gun. so tgm ice is completely separate. he says he made up a backstory for ice, played up the rivalry between him and tom on set on purposed in true method fashion and had these dreams about ice which is what inspired him to do the bite in the locker room scene which was improv. he talks about it in the 2021 doc as well.

ahh i see. i hadn’t read it or seen the doc & this is super interesting! Val & i are united in our common task

would richie take carmy’s last name if given the opportunity y/n

i’m tormented by this question…

this is so hard to answer because i feel like this would first require them getting legally married which would require a proposal which would require them acknowledging that they’re together in the first place and in my head they literally don’t ever do that. they could move in together and wake up with each other every day for the next 10 years and i still don’t think they’d ever actually think of themselves as “being together.” like it exists objectively on a surface level in their minds but there aren’t any real labels for what they are to each other and they don’t stress themselves over trying to figure it out.

but in the event that they did say fuck it and go through all that legal binding business—i actually don’t think richie would take carmy’s last name. ik in the show richie doesn’t ever really talk about his heritage at all and constantly claims to be italian when he isn’t but i’d also like to think it isn’t necessarily his heritage he’s running away from, it’s just the berzatto family he’s trying to incorporate himself into, and if he were in a position where he had that sort of affirmation/validation (like through ~marriage~) then he wouldn’t find it necessary

My head is currently spinning.

I’m re-reading Good Omens for myself.

My daughter asked to start watching Good Omens (from the beginning obviously) as she’s curious to see why I love it so much.

I’m also reading The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman) to my son and it’s causing me to think ahead to later in the series, the Metatron in that situation, etc.

do people you know ever get infatuated with you and then start getting super invasive

[incognitopolls]

Hypothetical scenario: someone is on Ao3, looking for fanfiction to read. This person only speaks/reads English, and they set the language filter to only show fics written in English.

ME TOO!!!

you know what. fuck it. I don’t know what my gender is. I use any pronouns. I want top surgery, but I’m unsure about HRT. some days I dress more masculine and some days I dress more feminine but I use any pronouns no matter what. I’m tired of thinking about it, I’m tired of trying to understand it, and I’m tired of trying to label it.

I’m just me, I think.

ᯓ★ babydaddy!toji would never admit that he got jealous when you were around guys your age. he’d never get insecure, no, but he felt a deep pang of jealously in his chest. like he prayed that he had been born later so he could be more similar to you. your relationship with him was complicated. you were dating on and off but finally just settled as friends with benefits (who took care of a ridiculously cute baby together).

your parents often asked you why you dated a guy who was less than a decade away from being your father. your friends did the same too, not seeing the appeal in being with a “broke old man”. you never understood why toji just scoffed and looked away. it was out of character since he’d usually just cuss people out.

babydaddy!toji who let his jealousy show a little too much when you ran into an old high school friend of yours while you were out shopping. toji had to piss and you were waiting outside when he came up to you. shit, you didn’t even recognize him at first and the conversation was merely small talk but when toji came out, he had his arm around your waist, his hands coming down a little too low.

“this is your uh.. boyfriend, yeah?”, you friend asked, his eyes immediately going to the hand on your waist. most people just assumed you were single again.

“you could say that..”, you sheepishly replied, trying to swat toji’s hand away.

“tsk why’re you acting like i didn’t just dick you down and you didn’t carry my baby, ma? course you’re mine”, toji scoffed, looking away.

your eyes dart from your friend’s to his and it finally clicked. he was jealous. with a small smile, you excused yourself and tugged on the hem of toji’s shirt, signaling him to walk out to his car. the walk there was filled with short protests from him and silence from you. of course, he didn’t mean it, he loved this kind of attention from you. as you got to his car you rummaged through his pants pocket to grab his keys—not being shy to graze his dick—and unlocked the car.

babydaddy!toji who’d never admit he was jealous, even when you two were making out in the middle of a mall parking lot with your hand on his crotch.

“admit it, you still—ah, you still love me and you were jealous”

“course i fuckin love you—fuck yeah,keep your hand there—we’re long over, ma. didn’t you say we were just friends with benefits?”

“you’re avoiding the question, toji”

he had his hands all over you at this point, tugging at your shirt but you pulled away and furrowed your eyebrows.

“admit that you were jealous, old perv”

“fuck—fine. i was jealous. i hate seeing you with men younger than me. makes me feel old. happy now, doll?”, he leaned in again, grabbing your face as you kissed back with a smirk.

“yeah, i’m elated”, you grinned, trailing your hand up to play with his dark happy trail and dipping it in his sweatpants.

“don’t be a fuckin brat, ma. m’gonna give you a second snotty little shit if you keep this up”, toji growled, trailing open-mouthed kisses down your neck and onto your collarbone

“yeah?“, you smirked, tangling your fingers in his hair as you guided him down, “keep that promise and maybe we’ll get married”

babydaddy!toji who was definitely going to take you in the backseat for hours. fuck driving home.

babydaddy!toji who nearly died at the spot from the news of you being pregnant not with just one baby, but twins. you ended the year with a ring and a freshly painted nursery.
