Replaying DAI and always shocked how I get to Skyhold and literally one convo in and Solas is hitting Lavellan with that sweet sweet Fade tongue.

All she had to do was follow him around and ask a MILLION questions while blatantly hinting she wants to tap it and he is shaking, vibrating with longing.

Most devastating thing ever: when you find a good picrew but it doesn't have that one thing you think is super important to how you look

I’m not objecting to the ideology at all, but I’ve always been fascinated by librarians absolutely ride-or-die commitment to libertarianism of information, or whatever you want to call it.

a very funny trait when combined with the other stereotype of librarians “middle aged woman who is quiet, politely professional, and sensibly dressed - to the point of near-frumpiness”. That that same woman will happily help you evade any and all government censorship attempts is amusing.

I’m aware that there are many non-stereotypical librarians, but it’s just a funny juxtaposition.

Baggy cardigans and anarchy for life

Like most people don't have a clue what a librarian is, tbh. They think anyone they can see working in a library is a librarian, which is a bit like thinking anyone you see working at a drug store is a pharmacist. A lot of places, the chances are that if you as a library user can see them, that's a library assistant. (But you also get a lot of librarians pitching in with that stuff on top of our actual duties, especially at small libraries.)

I don't actually know the history in the US but over here the first public libraries were started by leftists with the explicit goal of enabling class mobility before universal publicly-funded schooling was a thing.

I truthfully think that the idea that you have to have lots of accessories to be alternative has really just added to consumerism in subculture

I said a little bit about this in a comment a few hours ago (hey kenny) and I actually really felt like saying more.

For all that gay people/Tumblr people/AO3 peope/waves hand are really, really into found family they are actually pretty allergic to conceptualizing familial relationships outside of nuclear family roles.

I see a billion posts on Tumblr about how friendships can be just as important as romantic relationships, if not more, but nobody ever actually writes the friendship as important as a romantic relationship. Or friendships are interpreted as romantic, or friendships are sidelined for the romantic relationship. It's always a weird disparity between what people say are important and people actually find important for me.

So when we do step out of romantic relationship and into gen relationships, we typically enter the trope world of #foundfamily. But the same kind of flattening of characters for the sake of shoving them into yaoi ghost archetypes honestly also really happens with family relationships.

There is always a dad. There's always a mom. There's always siblings (frequently the canon female love interest). Maybe an uncle? Ex-wife if we are feeling sexy that day.

I really rarely see people interested in #foundfamily relationships outside of those boxes. It is overwhelmingly, entirely American-centric. There's no recognition of the unbelievable diversity and breadth of human relationships, or the very many ways there are to love somebody. In fanfic, if there's a much older male character emotional close to younger characters, he's dad mode. And the relationship then follows the character and story beats of the father-child relationship intended to draw out those fuzzy family feelings. Damn, I read found family stuff to get away from the intense claustrophobia of the fandom's favorite ship, I'm not here to get family yaoi ghosted here too.

I think you can create a very unique and engaging relationship if you're wiling to engage with the unknown and uncomfortable. Make a path without the paint by numbers story beats and character arcs. Please stop letting tropes rule your writing instead of construct it.

Write stories about love. Write relationships about loving each other. Just start from there, and don't worry about anything else. Create a relationship that is its own. Let it breathe. It can stand on its own two feet. It'll be a richer relationship and a richer story.
