There are valid criticisms of Rick and Morty, but I will NEVER understand why people say the characters don't change, especially Rick. Watch "Final DeSmithation" or "Air Force Wong," then try to tell me he's the same maniac from season three.
Admittedly, I'm not convinced that the people who say that actually watched past season three or four.

when i was in high school i was associating with multiple conservatives/right-wingers/bigots - NOT on purpose, they just all gravitated towards me for some reason and i didn't know about their beliefs until afterwards - and nowadays i fuck with ZERO of them. hell i'm not even comfortable with the people who pull the neutrality card and go "oh well i'm still friends with them because i don't like the idea of cutting people off uwu" like now i'm really only friends with people who 1. aren't complete idiots 2. have spines and i'm genuinely much happier for it

Joined tumblr just so I could read your ELYN snippets, after rereading the fic over the past few days.
Just wanted to say thanks for it. It's still one of the most vivid fics I've read. It's still amazing.
Will you be writing anything else in the YR world, do you think?
Hi, thank you for the lovely comment <3 Welcome to tumblr!
There is not a definite answer to this. I would like to write more, I really enjoyed doing ELYN, the fandom has been great, but I am a very slowwww writer who would like to publish a novel one day so my fic writing time is very limited.
I do have things I would like to write! I have a vague outline for a soulmarks fic, I made the mistake of talking to a friend about werewolves and now there is a werewolf AU starting to take shape in my brain. But at the moment nothing has grabbed me to be like 'write this right now' in the way ELYN did in the weeks after season 2 came out.
...Maybe when season 3 comes out!
(if anyone got excited about a werewolf au and would like to read more longfic by me in general, I have a very long werewolf les mis fic that requires no canon knowledge and shares similar themes to YR in that it is about class differences and overthrowing the system. Also there are werewolves and everything is better with werewolves.)
((tiny bonus YR soulmark snippet below))
“Okay,” Rosh says. “But say you’re in a long term proper relationship, then one day you wake up and bam, you’ve got a soulmark. You'd still leave your partner?"
“Of course," Ayub says. "Like, that’s your soulmate, you can’t argue with that shit, man.”
Markus slings an arm over Simon’s shoulder. “Simme and I don’t believe in soulmates,” he says, like that’s something they’ve ever agreed on or even discussed. “We think who you choose to be with is more important, don’t we?”
Simon gives a vague noise that could be counted as agreement, and then after he’s seen Markus to the door and invented an excuse for not being able to go back to Markus’s place - “I’ve got a test tomorrow I need to study for.” - he walks back into the room and pushes Rosh over into a pile of pillows.
“You’re a dick, you know that?”
She snorts. “You kept saying you were going to tell him! Did it come back?”
Simon hesitates for a moment, then rolls up his left sleeve to reveal the constellation of black stars tracing across his wrist. Ayub freaks out, grabbing Simon’s arm to see it properly. “Oh my god, is that real?”
Simon doesn’t need to look. At this point he knows it by heart, has traced lines between the dots so many times he’s almost surprised they're not permanently etched onto his skin. Somewhere out there, someone else is watching the same marks fade away on their own skin, as they drive away from Bjarstad. Again.

I’m writing a scene with Peter into a fanfiction and he’s so dramatic when he talks I feel like his whole voice needs to be in italics. It’s like he’s reveling in every word he says it is so fucking funny. And he’s not like. A rich British guy or something. He’s just full of shit and I can’t help but be amused by him
Tumblr apparently decided that I'm better when I'm absentee because it definitely did not decide to tell me about this ask (or I was in an insomniac fugue and deleted the notification in a half-asleep state but that rarely happens so I'm blaming Tumblr).
ANYWAY! This is totes Peter for me so you are doing him exactly right. He's like if one guy in Clue picked up all the bludgeon-y murder weapons, walked around making sure everyone saw him with them while swinging them around violently, then waited for everyone to suspect him of something nefarious so he could then act the martyr when everyone found out the victim died from arsenic poisoning. Because if it's not about him, he's going to find a way to make it about him.

i learned recently that there's a star trek: voyager mandela effect where many people remember an episode where chakotay got killed off (properly! not an AU or time-travel or whatever!) and then he reappeared a few episodes later and nothing was ever said about it and they'd thought that was odd.
and while i have never experienced that particular mis-remembering my gut reaction is "well voyager's just like that sometimes, i can see why you'd think you hadn't just made something like that up in your own head."
