Enough putting down your progress! Say something unapologetically nice about your art or your style.

Happy Friday, friends! I'm deep in my feelings about my favorite of my own fics, so I'm going to reblog this with my nonsense. BUT I also wanna invite other people to share this and chat about their own works. Like....have you written your ultimate version of your OTP? Have you written the story of your dreams? Have you written a story you're stupidly proud of because "wow I didn't think I was capable of that, but look I did it!" Did you accomplish a big goal? It can be anything! Fanfic, fanart...songs, embroidery, origami, rec lists, meta, whatever, idc! Just something you did for fandom you're super proud of!

I love allowing myself to shamelessly celebrate myself, and I especially love seeing other people do it too!

If you’ve ever written anything and posted it here: thank you.

Thank you for sharing your talent, for entertaining us, for making us laugh and cry and giggle and kick our feet.

You might not think your 500 word drabble about Bakugo drinking a black americano while making googly eyes at the barista meant anything, but it did. It made someone smile, brightened someone’s day…

To those who write long fic and series’, I know it can be tiring, but there are people out there that return to your fic over and over again just to feel the emotions you’ve given them and to spend more time in your world, to cherish it…

I know it can be hard when the whole world sounds quiet when you’ve just poured your soul out and posted it; but I’m here to say, it matters, it matters so fucking much.

Fic writers are truly stunning creatures - who pour themselves into their work and offer it up for free. So yeah, thank you.

No one ever tells Obi-Wan that he is his Master's padawan.

Of course, for most people who had known Qui-Gon Jinn, telling someone else they resembled the the man would in fact be a thinly veiled insult. But still, Obi-Wan feels the absence of comparisons almost as strongly as he feels the absence of his Master.

There is no one for Obi-Wan to push against now, no strong presence at his side, ready to grab him by scruff and pull him back from another reckless stunt. It's an odd feeling. He has been set loose against his wishes. There is no one to his left and Anakin at his heels, but Anakin had needed, still needs, a strong, gentle figure for his prickly but sensitive heart. For even their worst bickering could not hold a candle to the scathing remarks he and Qui-Gon had shot at each other and Obi-Wan knows he cannot push and needle Anakin in the same way.

When Qui-Gon had been alive they had been an amusing, mirrored pair, the maverick and his rule-following padawan. Opposites clashing against each other, yet working together to complete the most difficult missions. Few saw that Qui-Gon's impertinence had indeed rubbed off on his padawan, cultivated from that small, angry initiate, because the only way to rebel against the rule-breaker had been to parrot the Council fastidiously. No one would ever get to see that again. Obi-Wan is one half of a mirrored pair trying to complete a routine on his own. What once was an impish, teasing compliance is now a betrayal of all his Master's values.

"How could Qui-Gon raise such a model Jedi?" He hears them say, "It's admirable that Master Kenobi was appointed to the Council despite his Master's maverick ways."

Padawan Kenobi would have yelled and kicked and screamed. Master Kenobi is serene. It should feel like an achievement. It feels like a disappointment.

Sometimes, Obi-Wan looks at the shape of the man he has moulded himself into, and aches to be his Master's padawan.

Be proud of how far you’ve come. Even if it feels like you haven’t progressed much, I promise you, you have.
