so i’ve had a lot on my mind lately — the good, the bad, the ugly, you know the drill. i’m used to the bad and the ugly, but i think (and ofc by my therapist’s rec) i need to give a little credit to the good, too. not to mention the good is largely comprised of people, and those people deserve a sports stadium wave, yk? idk shit abt sports, whatever, but i know what the wave is and it’s like the grandest gesture i can think of, SO

listen, y’all. to get real here, i hate fandom. my time spent therein has been hit-or-miss, but the misses got me hard and contributed to some major self-loathing, etc etc. we’re not gonna get into the specifics, i don’t owe that to anyone, but suffice it to say things got Rough.

but so much of it can be so, so good. and rn i want to keep on my rose-colored glasses, and the rosiest parts for me have always been @kitten1618x and @mygutsforgarters

(quite a few others, too, but i no longer have everyone’s info. and some ppl are newer friends, or relationships that have moved more slowly. i have mad love for u guys too, obvs, but ik melissa and gus irl so we know each other More and they’re who this post is rly about atm. pls know i don’t want to harsh on anyone’s feelings)

the tl;dr version of events is i met them both via fanfic. i happened upon theirs like “bitch!!!! **i** wanna do this, they’re bomb as hell” and then i made them be friends w me. they’ll tell you they wanted to be friends w me first, but that’s not important bc **i** am the one making this post, so they can both like,, suck it.

ANYWAY.

@ melissa : so bitch listen. here’s the thing abt melissa…… i found her while browsing jonsa fic back when i cared abt GOT, and she brought me back to what i loved so much abt romance when i first started, way back in junior high, what’s up. i bad a fascination w historial romantic epics for a loooooong time — those formative yrs, amirite ladies??? — but girl i could never write it so well as melissa. immediately she struck this balance between the drama you expect from historicals and the levity of a good romance, and i was just like, “hand to god this woman must be published already, surely???”

(she’s not, but that’s ridiculous so we’re gonna skip that)

(also she’s busy?? we’ve been friends for like six years and i will never know how many kids she actually has, but the point is she’s a goddamn superhero and i’m obsessed w her, MOVING ON)

i just Had to be her friend for two reasons: 1) she’s too talented, and b) i have said that abt 2 ppl my entire life and she was the first, so i was like, “AH YES MY HOLY GRAIL”

so ofc i slid into her DMs just as effectively as that one guy i had a crush on when i was sixteen and he’s still shooting me texts every valentine’s day bc of the societal pressures i guess (it is Far Less Effective these days, he’s my age and therefore too young for me, gross, but i digress), except me and melissa go way stronger.

she reminded me of why, half a lifetime ago, i started writing romance — bc it’s fun, bc i want to. bc i can do absolutely anything i want, bc who else is gonna read it but me and whoever i share it with? it was all up to me what i wanted to do with it, and i could do anything. nothing really mattered but what i wanted, and i hadn’t felt that way abt anything in such a long time — let alone abt something i used to love so much.

melissa’s writing is so beautiful, it’s everything i wanted to achieve when i was fifteen and never got around to perfecting. and i’m totally okay w that now, bc what do i need to do myself that she’s not already doing/wants to do in the future? when i found melissa’s writing i found a missing part of me — a part i’d maybe lost, maybe i gave it up, idk, but it was totally gone until i found her fics and they fucking clicked. i had to reach out bc there was a part of me that was a part of her, and she helped me find that again w/o even knowing it.

so i found melissa via GOT, and from the start she’d been trying to get me to write some bethyl. years and years, she dropped not-so-subtle hints — and by “hints,” i mean legit directives that i watch just enough TWD to write her some beth/daryl fic. real crafty, she is.

eventually the stars aligned: i was bored w the same dynamics i’d been writing for years, i wanted smthn new, i was restless, i was line editing a bethyl fic she’d written, and — again — this shit clicked. her fic made me want to explore this dynamic i’d never done before, so i watched the prerequisite episodes (no more than that tho, i super hate the show and i’m begging y’all to not @ me abt it anymore). i found smthn that i’d been missing, smthn that challenged and excited me and brought me back around to why i love romance and, more importantly, why i want to write it myself.

so as i was starting to write bethyl, i was poking around the ao3 tag to get a feel for what had been done, what hadn’t, anything i might be missing. and goddamn BAM —

@ gus : this is where u enter dramatically thru a red velvet curtain that i don’t wanna touch (Metaphorically bc you do romance better than me and i’m cool w that bc your talent simply Cannot be touched, and Literally bc i hate velvet) — i was like, “please for the love of god let her want to write contemporary romance, i need some good fckin food”

i happened upon “doo wah diddy diddy” first. ofc the summary hooked me, forget my usual hard no against pregnancy fics (i have issues w pregnancy and that’s all anybody Needs to know, back off), but This Bitch !!!!!!! has a way with words and i wanted to be friends w her straightaway. lmao too bad for her, now she’s stuck w me

gus’s fics gave me what i wanted without having to write it myself. her style is so distinctive, she hits the notes between porn and Actual Affection that is missing from uhhhh, every romance i’ve tried?? (why is everyone so intent on the sex part?? fckin chill. at best it’s unrelatable and at worst u sound like u’d rather wear someone than fuck them, check urself)

she writes w such care, she wants you to know what she’s doing here, and what she’s doing here is combining the physical and emotional needs of both characters w/o infringing on anyone’s comfortability. you root for these characters bc they simply want to be together, no strings (and if there are strings, damn, they talk abt it).

gus makes you believe in love in the modern age. like, not to sound like one of those ppl who post fckin “no one in this generation knows how to love!!!1!!11!!” memes on facebook, those are dumb, but gus’s writing made me think “yeah man, love ain’t dead, it’s just abt how we approach it.”

(if y’all haven’t guessed yet, i have some hang-ups abt relationships. i’ve goddamn earned those. but melissa and gus both brought me back to where i needed to be — in this place where, yeah, we’ve got some shit to deal with, but we all still deserve the things we want, and those things are achievable. i could not have gotten here without them, so jot that down.)

gus is Real, she’s funny, she’s unapologetic in the way she writes. ofc she has her personal hurdles, but who doesn’t?? and tbh nobody writes a sex scene like gus does. physical, realistic, but balanced w the emotional depth that makes you root for these characters bc you can Feel how much they want each other — not just sexually, but in the less-erotic aftermath of that passion. it continues to blow my mind, bc i’ve never seen anyone do what she does. i can’t even pinpoint the specifics, bc she just… Does It. and you’re reading it like “yeah bitch that’s it,” and That’s It.

it’s fckin wild.

these two — my best friends, the lights of my life, both of whom always make me crave chicken tenders at THE most inconvenient hours bc somehow we always talk abt chicken or ice cream or ultimately DQ, but they're both so hot idec — have something special.

i really, really want them both to know that: it’s not just in how they’ve treated me as a friend, but who they are as people, in their creative pursuits. i’ve never known support the way they’ve shown me; i’ve never known this much enthusiasm or investment or belief that i can do what i want with my talent. i want them to know that i feel the same way abt them and their works.

sometimes, when i look back at their writing that completely kicked my ass, i still can’t believe that they’ve become two of my best friends. it’s totally bonkers. they’re This Talented, and they wanna be friends w my spastic ass? GIRL. i’m out.

i’m not always the best at being present, at giving people what they need when they need it. but with everything that melissa and gus have given me in the past few years, i need them to know this — honey!!! i need all y’all to know this, bc i know fandom shit is hard, but you should know some of these friendships are so, so worth all that bullshit, so —

they have so much to give, so much to say, so much to offer. i could not have kept going without them. i couldn’t believe in myself without the faith they’ve given to me. i hope that i can always give that same faith right back.

and that, babes, is what real soulmates are all about.

#i just love them whoops my hand slipped #the majnificent adventures #gus tag #@ melissa wtf is our tag we had like five #how do i not remember five things #anyway i got into my feelings tnt don’t @ me

ok so i’ve been following u for god knows how long and it was actually one of ur posts a few months back that got me into bucky and steve. anyways i usually only read modern aus bc after iw anything else is too painful. but i read the first fic on that rec ask and i’m in literal tears. thank u for sharing bc i wouldn’t have found it any other way.

omg so you’re talking about the Not Easily Conquered Series and literally what a mood, I put this series off for a while cause it seemed super angsty and also it had a Peggy/Steve tag and I’d just started Steve/Bucky so that was what I wanted to read, but omg once reading it I’ve never been so glad in my life !!! it’s actually the fic i got into Syn into Stucky with and its just phenomenal, like I have a load of the quotes saved on my phone but these are my absolute favourites

There’s three from Bucky’s letters to Steve which just absolutely destroy me, like every word is nearly my favourite bit:

“Here’s the truth — baby, here’s the truth. I’ve got a rootless heart. I don’t think I’m meant for loving, or at least not anymore. And I should die out here. I’m the kind of guy who’s not meant to go back. I try to imagine a life after this and it just won’t come. So forget about me, will you? If it’ll make you happy. Live glorious, eat like a king, laugh until the sun comes up, never look back. Don’t you dare look back. More than anything I want to know that you kept on. More than anything I want to know that you took on the world — everything else seems to matter less and less.

So how long have I loved you for? Womb to tomb, sweetheart. Since before I was even here at all. I get it now, you understand. Your ma was right. It really is a stupid question.”

‘I won’t be in the history books; that’s for you. But I loved you first. As long as they get that right, I don’t care what they say’

There are so many lines from this that I want to hold close to my heart and just never let go of, but it’s just the utter beauty and ugly honesty in Bucky’s words and how much he really loved Steve. This inspired a lot of my views of Bucky and the perhaps nastier side of his character, and certainly the way he focused in on this side of himself, held it in contrast to Steve. The tight-rope of how selfish and unselfish he was in his love to Steve. Also the darker brutality of him that understood the ugly side of war long before Steve did, Steve learnt, but Bucky learnt first

And those lines about how he’d loved Steve first because he’d loved Steve before they were even alive, loving Steve is such a core integral part of Bucky’s character that he can’t see himself without it, and like WOW

And then there’s this quote from a conversation with Steve and Peggy:

“It’s another reason why I didn’t tell you,” Peggy says. “The real reason, maybe.” Steve doesn’t speak; he doesn’t think he can. Instead he holds her look and waits. “I’m selfish,” She confesses, brokenly. “I have loved you so much, and love made me selfish. And I knew that if I told you I would lose you.” And the terrible thing, the worst thing, is that he knows down to his bones that this is true — that she is, as always, right. He would have left. He would have torn the world apart to bring one man home, and he wouldn’t have looked back.

And like as i said originally the idea of hard-core Peggy/Steve put me off the fic but now its one of the things I love most about it, like they’re just both so human. It looks at how we can love more than one person, the jealousy of struggling with this, and just look how humanly flawed Peggy is – and she’s never shamed for it – you understand her actions, the reason she didn’t pursue the Winter Solider when she could have. And Steve too is selfish in his love of Bucky, Bucky is Steve’s tipping point that he’ll cross every line for and wow

The all consuming love is one of the reasons I find this pairing so fascinating, like I really think in canon – and often in AUs – there just aren’t any lines they wouldn’t cross for each other. And this series just nails the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly of humanity and its why I’d rec it to everyone

Anyway I totally ended up babbling but if one person reads this series because of my babbling than totally worth it !!!

Also if anyone read any of the fics on that list and wants to squeal to me then please do !!! i love this !!! and those fics are my FAVES

BEST SMALLER BLOG (a very important category bc I actually do not understand how these people don’t have thousands of ppl following them??)

WINNER: @the-pontiac-bandit OKAY let me tell you about carrie and her blog. I spent a solid 60 mins reading her amazing writing and admiring her theme and then I checked her reblog and she had the #under500 tag and I yelled. not kidding. like an actual noise left my mouth because HOW THIS GIRL DOES NOT HAVE A CULT FOLLOWING I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. FOLLOW HER RUNNERS UP: @theartofdreaming1 aka Vicky who is the sweetest person and SUCH a talented artist!!! @khwabonkeparindey anna’s blog is so adorable and maybe it’s bc I’m type A but the layout of her navigation actually turned me on a little bit oh my LORD it’s beautiful and so well-organised @two-drink-amy I was only gonna have two runners up for this category but nicole and everything about her blog is so sweet!!

Soo, "Yuri on Ice"!! I also love that show, I watched it in 2 days straight XD Hope you enjoy it greatly!! -YOI-lover-anon out

ANONYMOUS ASKED

I’m very curious to know what you’ll think of YOI :)

so i keep wanting to read YOI as yaoi and be like, yes i shall give u My Thoughts on Yaoi (/joke probably no one gets anymore).

anyway i finished watching all the episodes, so general impressions/reactions below:

i watched the first episode in the original japanese with english subtitles but there were SO MANY russian words used/referenced that it started to drive me nuts not to hear them in actual russian. so then i watched the last 11 eps dubbed in english

i was really confused until @plays-with-shadows explained accents to me how viktor (WHICH SHOULD BE THE SPELLING OK THAT IS HOW U SPELL IT Y DID THEY SPELL IT WRONG) and yuuri could even communicate bc presumably viktor would be speaking russian??? and then elan explained that in the original japanese they used different japanese regional accents to signify when characters were speaking japanese or russian or english. so viktor was communicating with yuuri in english. so that was cool to learn.

i really disliked viktor at first bc i was like, I Know Guys Like You, and bc he’s kind of a dick in this really specific slavic-y way that i can tolerate much better in women and absolutely adored in my grandmother but just super bothered me in viktor. but then he kind of grew on me, especially when he started trying more sincerely to be a good coach for yuuri and learn what he needed and started to move forward to being an actual person who actually maybe feels things once in a while. then he hit right in my emotional robot character kink feels and now i kind of love him.

similarly, i was hella hella dubious of yuuri and viktor’s relationship at first and why anyone would ship that??? bc i was like, okay at 15 i might have been into this thing of your idol/celeb crush suddenly turning up in your life and forming a relationship with you. since, like, lbr, at 15 i was TOTALLY ON BOARD with the idea of dating johnny depp and thought that would be gr8 and didn’t think at all about things like age differences or power imbalances in relationships. but idk at 30, i am like, dude that will never work out. that can never be healthy when one person puts the other up on a pedestal (and viktor at that time seemed to have no interest in taking himself off that pedestal). but then yuuri seemed to realize that viktor was a person and has faults and kind of sucks as a coach and can be a dick, and called him out on it. and then i was like, yes good i can get behind this. now im really looking forward to seeing them compete against each other in the next series (WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER give me moar noooooooooooowww) bc for me that also brings more equality to their relationship and im also about equality in my OTPs. (tho tbh im more about, im a dick, you’re a dick, we’re dicks at each other, but if ANYONE ELSE is a dick to you, i brutally smack them down - that kind of equality)

was that a hug? was is it a kiss? im so confused what happened there, if viktor kissed yuuri or just flying tackled hugged him. generally i am confused about their relationship and where it stands. like, i think my impression is that yuuri has a crush on viktor, is still not really ready to admit to it (at least not to viktor, even tho viktor totally already knows bc it’s yuuri and he’s not subtle), and viktor is … on the slow path of realizing he has feelings and that other people have feelings and those can both be influenced, and that is uncomfortable and scary. see: viktor getting all freaked when he made yuuri cry / viktor getting all shout-y when yuuri made him cry ❤️

i want a ton of fic where yuuri and viktor deal with and fail over and discuss the cultural differences between russian culture and japanese culture

the italian skater seems hella incest-y for his sister

i totally believe the swiss skater and viktor slept together at least once i mean come on

YURI IS MY SMOL ANGRY RUSSIAN SON AND I LOVE HIM AND WANT TO BURY HIM IN TIGER-PRINTED THINGS mój cenny mały tygrysku ❤️❤️❤️

like if dean and cas had a son, it’d be yuri. ANGRY, but with a lot of sensitive feelings beneath that, and hella determined to prove himself

i really liked how viktor and yuri’s relationship developed, that viktor really sincerely supported him and hugged him in the final at the grand prix

overall, i really liked it. it is very gay and happy-making and some of the dialogue is just amaze. I WILL MAKE U INTO BORSCHT (barszcz) is legit my new fav insult ever.

where are the fics??? give me fic recs

#a 7% solution #anonymous #yuri on ice
