#I love Camilla Camilla-haters dni

[bram-stoker-hate-blog]

A fair weathered reminder that on this writing blog that has very few followers, that we support fanfiction!

That's right! Screw you, haters! Fanfic is proper writing, and I'd sooner read a fanfic written on page 10 of Google than I would Bram Stoker's Dracula!

(please note this is a Bram Stoker's Dracula hate account. B. Stoker's Dracula fans DNI. We stan Camilla the lesbian vampire, and Camilla only)

Many great quotes come from fanfiction. I don't personally keep track, but there are definitely some great ones!

Fanfic takes time and work, no matter how easily writing comes to the person, and they don't get payed (unlike some real bad apples like jkr, who get more money for every half assed, poorly written, waste of paper that no one needed.*).

I would like to firmly request you leave kind comments- or the given form of liking/hearting on the website as a bare minimum- as they allow creators to continue loving what they do! As well as this, the writers can scream about their favourite pairing with you, or yell about that one dummy who has once again done something unnecessarily stupid but we love them anyway.

Fanfiction is not lesser. For some people, it's practice writing scenes minus the world building; for others, it's showing what they can already do. It's an experience, make it a good one for all involved.

* trans women are women. Trans lesbians are lesbians. I love and support all you wonderful ladies, no matter how you present.

Been re-reading spy x family, which I'd apparently not touched in two years.

Not every shounen can be chainsaw man, but spy x family is still pretty good at holding consistent themes and executing strong tonal shifts. You'll never understand people's hearts, but you should accept that most people believe they're doing the right thing, regardless of how absurdly wrong it is to you. And that war sucks.

Yor's real job doesn't really fit the aesthetic/political vibe of the story. The assassin stuff tends to fall to the wayside as the series goes on, presumably because a) as the series trundles through terrorists and secret police and child-smackers with begrudgingly understandable motives, it gets harder to rationalize Yor's job as just murdering bad people when you know she's not smart enough to discern that for herself - she's literally just following orders - and b) can we be serious and acknowledge her interacting with other ladies leads to far more memorable moments? Melinda, her coworkers, especially that bitch Camila >>> fight-tournament-adjacent murder mission.

Yor is less developed as a character than I remembered. She's more like a sexy sidekick to Loid and Anya than she is a main character. Somehow her brother's background has more depth, which doesn't really make sense

like she's not bad, I like Yor, but after a while I kinda got why commenters became significantly more invested in the romantic development between a six year old and a girl who says shit like this

27yo assassins who are still scared of kisses can only hold your attention for so long. The hivemind has progressed to shipping themselves with Loid instead.

it's good to read stories with a variety of active old people. The elderly are everywhere in here. I like this.

Soy x family is such a skilled comedy. it's like I'm watching a master brew their craft or something. 10,000 folded steel but except with reaction shots.

They're really dragging their heels in advancing the story. I stopped reading around the time Anya read Damian's mother's mind, which was over two years ago? And they still haven't explained wtf that freakfest was about??

Damian's brother appeared for two pages and I could hear autistic teen girls around the world twirling their hair. Whoever designed him knew what they were doing.

No seriously, star-crossed lovers war flashback between two minor characters? That's what they've been doing while I was gone? Explain mom yandere right now!
