#fan problems

That feeling when you’re in the mood to read a very specific fanfic with just the right pairing, just the right tropes, just the right balance of angst, fluff, smut that matches your current mood, ❤️‍🔥 aaaand none of the fics in your faves list nor your ‘to be read’ list are ticking those boxes. 😢 And you realize if you want to read this very specific fic that your soul is craving; you’re gonna have to write it yourself😱😭…. I’m exhausted, and I just want someone else to randomly spawn my dream fic ok? 😂

Wer kann schon ohne Liebe sein?/Who can be without love?

Even in a relationship as doomed as the de Winters’, there are the moments in between the shouting matches, away from the betrayal, there are those tiny grains of affection and hope, where Mr. and Mrs. de Winter can get it together, in the face of situations more disastrous than their marriage.

Not every moment in the two decades of marriage was hostile, and we’re here, cherry picking the good bits, to imagine them in a collection of fluffy one-shots.

It couldn’t have all been bad, right? Right?!?

If I had a dollar for every well-dressed, manipulative, cunning mass-murderer with a funny staff thing that I got emotionally attached to, I’d have $2.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s completely predictable weird that it happened twice.

(And yes, guys, I know it’s a sceptre, and I know it’s a microphone)

The temptation to write fan fiction for fandoms that I alone am in and nobody will read

Does anyone know if there’s any Good Omens tshirt merch that ISN’T Bildad the Shuhite’s face pasted 100 times or AZ Fell and Co? Because I like the AZ Fell stuff. And I like Bildad as much as the next person but I don’t like full in color faces on my shirts. Like cartoony designs of people is good, monocolor people is okay (ie eras tour shirts), and line art kind of designs are okay.

But guys I like SUBTLE merch. Bildad is not subtle. I adore him, but he’s not subtle.

I'm brimming with ideas.

... and yet I'm stuck filing taxes. I just want to write my fanfiction.

When you want to spend some time with your blorbo, but there isn't a fic that matches your mood, and you don't want to write one yourself either.

The saddest fucking thing is when you want to fangirl (fanboy/fanperson/just plain fan) over a character but it’s your own fucking OC who no one gives a damn about but you but WTF I might commission more art anyway.

So happened to be writing some Johale, and now I crave Johanna x Gale fannart. Have yet to see even a single peice of it and never have I felt so much rage that I can't art.

I really want to keep writing my Thasmin AU fanfics but my final exams are starting...

Should I be responsible and study? Or should I don't give a fuck about it, so I can panic later that I won't pass.

Decisions, decisions...

The biggest issue with being a fan of Flying Circus (the RPG) is that it shares tag space with Monty Pythons Flying Circus, so if you wanna find stuff for the RPG you gotta wade through a whoollllleee lot of stuff for the show.

I am pretty certain that our neighbours already wonder who the heck this Rebecca person is we constantly yell at

[dianneking]

Isn’t that the epitome of being ok? the problem is when they don’t kiss and just keep pining for each other and being idiots in love! 

"Are you okay" NO. THERE ARE LITTLE FICTIONAL BITCHES IN MY HEAD. AND THEY'RE KISSING.

It sometimes feels weird to realize that a fandom has trends. I'm not just talking about the new series that got popular or the character that everyone simps for, I'm talking fan behaviors. The way people rave over their genre has changed over the years, for the better or worse. I've noticed it in the way fanfiction is written, like the voice of newer works are so noticably different from a couple years ago. They FEEL young.

Also, with TikTok and all that, I've noticed that a lot of people are comfortable with showing their simp side, but I'm not really sure if this is a good thing. I'm not saying fan-girlling/boying (whatever) is shameful, but like, wearing whatever underwear that makes you feel comfortable is one thing, and airing it out in the open is another. I'm really not getting used to how open people have become to weebing.

It feels weird to realize that my way of liking my genre is nn years older than everyone else.

Just opened my fic document and found this

Thanks, past me. Incredibly helpful.

Me: I want to write something fluffy.

Also me: Fluffy sometimes makes me sad because life is so void of fluff.
