17 year old, CEO Tim Drake canceling a press conference and then putting out a statement like, “Sorry for canceling last min, Alfred said that he was going to run my laptop through the dishwasher if I didn’t clean my room. I think he’d do it :/. Also, wasn’t really in the mood. Cya -Tim.”

people who get angry about ships being immoral or icky or whatever are very annoying to the people who enjoy whatever ship is currently under fire, yes, but more importantly they're annoying to me, someone who simply doesn't vibe with the ship but doesn't want to be associated with weirdo internet puritans

No, I don’t need a therapist. What I need is a fic with 75k+ words that doesn’t take me two hours to read. And a therapist.

Magic Hour by tuesday_piracy

Rating: T

Pairing: Scorpius Malfoy/Albus Potter

Summary: Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy live very different lives from one another, but when time and fate gets intertwined and tangled, they find themselves magically swapping bodies and on a journey to meet each other for the first time. Meanwhile, a star approaches.

Tags: Body Swapping, Soulmate AU, Your Name AU, Not Canon-Complaint, lots of longing and long distance bs. starts off light (Light Fluff, Light Humour, Light Angst etc) but i’ll put them through the trenches later on.

(Chapters 1 | 2)

Chapter 3: “‘I said that I wasn’t in my body?”

“Something like that,” Durmain replied.

“But… body-swapping doesn’t exist,” Scorpius said, feeling stupid for pointing out the obvious, yet also doubting his own words as he said them. Since when did he start believing in the impossibilities of magic? But this was different, this had never been heard of before.”

Chapter 4: “‘So your type isn’t Karl.”

“Of course not,” he snorted. Karl was attractive, objectively. He was all dark hair and eyes, broad shoulders and an affinity for humour at all times, but that was completely offset by his terrible personality.

“What is your type then?” Easton asked, quite suddenly, as if the question had been blurted.

“I don’t know, does it matter?” Albus sighed, agitated whenever the topic regarding his love life was broached. If he continued to keep his standards low, maybe he’d find someone to somewhat like him eventually, though he seriously couldn’t imagine himself dating anyone, especially anyone from Hogwarts.”

It's a bit funny that to parts of my circles I'm 'the fandom one'/'the fanfic one'/'the shipping one' as the person they know most prominently into such things

because as much as i love writing my fics and shipping my ships my interest in both of those things is, I think, very narrow and specific compared to most people who are into them? due to my habits being like. very particular

having. feelings about “wincesties dni” banners. (Feelings do expand more broadly than this specific ship/situation, but for reference, this is what we’ll work with)

On one level, I do understand the desire to not have your work perceived in a way that makes you uncomfortable or triggers you. That’s a valid boundary to have. I would feel weird if someone came onto one of my gen fics about. uh. who do I write gen for. Jack & Lucifer. And started talking about shipping them in the comments or wherever, when that was explicitly not the point of what I’d written and I did not want to be involved in that conversation, especially if it’s concerning my piece.

So, it does make sense to me to have a disclaimer of “hey, I made this art/fic/etc to portray this dynamic, please do not apply any other to it”. (Like, no, you can’t stop anyone from doing that anyway, but you can make that boundary and that makes whoever ignores it an asshole.)

But on another level, that’s not what the banners say, is it? It’s “wincesties dni”, not “hey this stuff is gen, do not talk about Sam/Dean on it”. It’s “if you are one of the Bad People, do Not touch my post.” Which feels. Idk. You can do whatever you want on the internet, but that does feel kind of presumptuous. Speaking as someone who has written wincest before, who has looked at the show through that lens, the fact that I have done that does not mean I am now unable to perceive it any other way.

Like, bluntly, just because I have dabbled in wincest (or michifer or hell, any ship actually?) does not mean I’ve suddenly lost the ability to look at gen works about the two characters and take it at that. I like gen Sam & Dean content, probably more than I like wincest, but at the same time, I do linger in the space from wincest-adjacent to shipper. so it’s always. Weird. To come across art or fic I adore and then to get slammed with a “wincesties dni” thing at the end. Like, am I too dirtied by association to be allowed to enjoy it? is my sin so great that everything i reblog shall be tainted? am I being a little fucking dramatic about fandom nonsense?

Sorry about all that. I’m just having some thoughts. I want to reblog cute art. That’s all.

adding to "he would not fucking say that" by extending it to "his therapy would not fucking work like that"

[rosemary-bells]

reading ranwan fics has me constantly giggling and kicking my feet. which is kind of awkward when i’m reading through some of the most like heart-wrenching stuff but hey. that’s ranwan for ya.

[bylertruther]

the byIer fandom really is a hivemind bc every time i think i came up with a cool fic idea i'll eventually see posts or fics from other writers spring up showing tht we all had the same exact idea down to even the same exact nitty-gritty details and headcanons for them without ever interacting with each other at all. like... bro. 💀 We're Connected..

[beesinspades]

this year I might actually be able to participate in fanfic writers appreciation day on august 21st! :3 I'll try to make a long-ish trigun fic rec list since I've actually read and bookmarked more trigun fics than in any of my past fandoms hehe.

Left work 2 hours early because we had to cut hours after our huge event, so that means I had two more hours of free time when I got home. Except I’m currently in a brain funk where I can’t write, don’t wanna read, no real wish to do anything so I’m just taking melatonin at 9pm and I guess I’ll just sleep

[samandmaxfanatic]

THIS!!!

please PLEASE learn how to tag your fanfics. Don’t tag fluff when it’s angst, don’t tag smut when it’s fluff and please don’t tag characters that ARENT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE FIC!!!!
