omg what if when liz was diagnosed with cancer she had called klaus to take care of caroline

I mean, I wouldn't have complained, even though it would've probably seemed kinda crazy of her. 🤣

But he would've definitely been a much better option and done a much better job than Stefan. And I've no doubt that he would've dropped everything in New Orleans to be at the funeral.

hit me with your zutara fic recs

classic literature: 

stormbenders: Start here. Don’t even look at the rest of the list; just finish this and come back. 

tempest in a teacup: Katara grows up a prisoner in the Fire Nation and befriends Zuko

newer classics: 

The Undying Fire Series: Zuko heals Aang with Firebending and everything changes. Very slowburn Zutara but notable in that no Aang or Mai bashing to be found. Nice alternate universe where Zuko joined the Gaang much earlier. 

such selfish prayers: aka Katara has a vision of her canon life and nopes out of a relationship with Aang and ends up on Zuko’s fire council. Slowburn (hahaha). Doesn’t really bash Kataang as a concept so much as it takes issue with the way Bryke shat the bed represented it in Korra.

[fuckyeahasexual]

kinda funny... we took over the ace discourse tag with a silly argument and your blog got accused of being run by amazon... kind of like it was maybe deliberate... an attempt to take comfort away from aces... take out the ringleader that helped disband where apbobes could meet... but hey maybe i'm just making it up

I assure this is 100% the reason lol and i also assure you that we arent going ANYWHERE 

[thirdstrikes]

what is your title from?

like blog title? “chasing thunderstorms”? it’s actually from a httyd fanfiction that i read when i was in high school, i think. i loved the title of the fic and it just kind of set with me, that visual, and i kinda submerged it in a lot of other things. and when the umbrella scene of ml really hit me so it’s my blog title for my ml blog.

EDIT: thought you put this on the ml blog but i was too dense to notice. uhm... on this blog: “I made you a promise, i’m never gonna leave you” is from doctor who? otherwise “true north” is just the idea of how astronomical shit measures the true celestial north?

your top 5 ships?

1) catradora!!!! this ship is literally All Of My Things In One Thing

2) lapidot!! i’ve loved it since summer 2015, when is was literally a crackship

3) infinite eyerolls (beatrice & wirt from over the garden wall) this was like 2014, but idk there was a lot of cute content with human beatrice and wirt!! their dynamic is Good and they kinda become canon in the comics

4) reverse mabifica was a lil bit of my lesbian awakening, ngl

5) this is super obscure but juphelia from the show sweet/vicious! badass vigilante gfs

i just read pendulum (for the first time ever) and i have to say the original ending actually makes more sense then the happy one 😭 like it took klaus FOUR lives to find caroline the first time so of course when he’s no longer being reborn they won’t cross paths again. she WAS alone on that train. she never met him. and once elijah stops being reborn, she will have no connection to him. it’s disheartening but it’s also the ending that logically makes sense.

i’m sorry you were told to change it just because of the canon material. your mind, yokan, will always be leagues ahead of the fandom’s desires. i hope the next time you come across a situation like that, you go with your gut.

I like the second ending way more, but it's not about logic for me. I feel it's even more significant than the first one. Klaus' theory was proved right in the first ending, but in the second one as well, and in a much deeper way, I think.

The thing is that finding your soulmate in that universe is an extremely rare thing. It's not just about falling in love or finding someone who is suitable enough. It's more. Everybody has a soulmate, but because of the repetitive nature of how the universe functions in trying to set itself right each time, it's very, very rare for people to meet their other halves. Which is not to say that it doesn't happen, just that it takes a very complex set of occurrences, so most people will probably only find their soulmates once or twice. Because of who they are, Klaus and Elijah can feel the pull of their soulmates, and thus they get to find them sooner.

In the first ending, it's very obvious, Elijah gives them a little push, and they immediately fall back into the old pattern because they're meant to be. In the second one, Klaus no longer exists. He's gone, forever. Caroline doesn't remember him because she never met him. But she still has a lingering sensation, like an imprint of all those lifetimes she had with him. It's there, even if she can't access, or can't shape it into an actual memory, she knows there's something. So it's still real. She found her soulmate, and even though he's gone, she will also be forever changed by that, even when Elijah is no longer there. That's actually something I reworked into the story more clearly, because I don't think it was very obvious in the first version. It was in my head, but I didn't translate it well into the fic, so I made sure to correct that when I was rewriting. At least that was the idea 😂

It's not a happy ending, but for me it suits the story better, and it also matches the enormity of their love story. But yeah, I definitely chickened out of leaving it at that because of all the messages I got. 😂 But tbh, I'm happy I decided to write the other version. It didn't turn out bad (at least, I don't think it did), still suits the story, and it gives people a happy ending to stick to if that's what they're in the mood for.

But thanks for your message, that's very sweet actually. 💖 It's been a veeeeeeeery long time since I first wrote that story, and I have definitely grown a thicker skin when it comes to folks questioning the choices I make with the stories.

totally predictable but chlonette

ima second what @bullysquadess said, i crushed hardcore on all the girls who hated me/who i hated in high school so this always felt inevitable. 

idk, y’all know i’d die for this ship, and without exaggeration it’s in my top 5. marinette and chloe are just such good characters to riff off of and make some really amazing content for. they’re so similar if you really sit down and think about it, and if you’re able to shave off all of the circumstances that led chloe to resent marinette’s popularity and marinette to hate chloe’s cruelty, you know they’d probably be really good friends. and rivals to friends to lovers is seriously one of my favorite ship dynamics because those two characters earn each other’s respect slowly and then out of that you get love. hhhhhh fuck it’s just so good. 

also those two are just aesthetically such a good pairing, i mean talk about your ideal high femme sapphic couple and they’d probably slay the competition at every fashion event in paris.
