#remember the good ol days

Long time no see

hello everyone! it looks like the last time I uploaded anything was back in July. Nothing serious happened (my entire family didn't get into a car crash and then had to go into witness protection). literally the only reason that I haven't uploaded anything is just because I've been unmotivated and uninspired. I literally have 14 different drafts (ranging from a 20 word summary to a 3000 word story that i just really have no clue how to end). for the past few months, anytime i had the motivation to write fanfic, which wasn't very often in the first place, I would open one of my drafts to work on it. then completely lose all interest. but during my winter break, I had an idea for a fanfic while watching tv with my family so i started a new fic (i'll upload it today and then link it here in case you wanna read it). basically this long as paragraph was just to let you guys know that i'm okay, just haven't really been motivated to do this hobby that i love

I hope everyone had a good holiday and that may this new year bring more great fanfiction to all of us!!!

love you guys and thank you so much for your support

also check out this song by this small band. i love it so much and since they're small i wanna spread them around

that 'have you ever been punished as a child?' line Pen drops hits different when you realize that in the books, Colin was horsewhipped by his father the morning before he died and then went to Eton where they literally had something called 'flogging Fridays' during the time he attended

like Julia, Miss. Quinn, what do you mean you just threw that information in as a random throwaway line that is never mentioned again? do you not realize how WILD that makes Colin's background?

He was twelve years old??? His dad saw him hitting Eloise and then horsewhipped him, and after horsewhipping his twelve. year. old. son. he then goes to comfort Eloise by taking a walk with her and the bee stings him and he fucking dies

Colin would be out here blaming himself for that death forever are you kidding me???? Wondering if he didn't hit his sister (when they're children playing together), would his Dad still be alive? Would he still have gone on that walk? Would he still have passed away as Colin sat sobbing in the stables, hurt by his hand?

And then he goes to Eton where the only time he had off was 3 weeks around Christmas, but still has to stay there, and 3 weeks in the summer when he can finally go home to Aubrey Hall?

This timeline is BONKERS. Like. . .we know Edmund dies not too long before Hyacinth is born, and she's born May/June. Colin's birthday? Yeah, it's in March. So you mean to tell me, the order of events of all this mess could be as followed: Edmund horsewhips Colin when he's 12 years old (sometime before March), he DIES that same day, Colin turns 13 (in March), Hyacinth is born (in June), and not a few months later Colin has to go to Eton (after the summer break. Social season is Spring and Summer, and ends either July or August, so let's be merciful here and say he leaves in August) and doesn't come back for an entire year?

You mean to tell me this boy has had what? Half a year to get over his father's death after he whipped him for a minor infraction and then he's waltzing into an institution where canings and whippings and floggings and bullying are the norm when he's a teeny tiny little boy?

How is this man not filled to the GILLS with trauma???? No wonder he's so close to his mum and listens to the women around him more than the men and never talks about his dad. And he still turns out so nice and empathetic and kindhearted? He still listens so much to Pen and is so gentle with her and has a good sense of humor and cares so deeply?

That man is never raising a hand to their children. He probably won't even raise his voice at their children. Oh my god.

Also really sorry one last thing. Sometimes when I look at your gta button's words. I imagine it in the voice of jfk from clone high. So have this dumb edit

I errrrrr uuuuh think this is how Clone High Buttons wants others to see him

when in fact

god i would’ve loved to see uther meet merlin’s family. he meets and knows merlin for years and knows how impertinent he is and the lack of respect he holds for royals and nobles. merlin is a thorn in his side but arthur is fond of him so he leaves him be. then he meets hunith who is so much better than merlin and doesn’t seem to be at all related to that bastard peasant until she tears him a new asshole without any regard for propriety. she is a country woman and uses language appropriate in the countryside, not the royal court. she is very clearly merlin’s mother in that moment made obvious by the set of her jaw and the steel in her eyes. then balinor gets carted in and is brought before him and he’s gleeful bc finally he can kill the last dragonlord. then hunith calls his name and he calls hers. dread simmers in his gut and then they kiss as he watches with trepidation. then hunith pulls back and tells him to meet his son and tugs merlin forward.

it all makes sense. the very blood running thru their veins is made to give uther headaches. balinor (fugitive, dragonlord), hunith (harbored a fugitive, lied to authorities, punched the king), and merlin (annoying, dragonlord) being a family unit just makes sense. when merlin’s magic gets revealed hes not even shocked. he just amends his list to read “merlin (annoying, dragonlord, sorcerer)”

Hey guys I'm rewatching Voltron with my wife rn and klance is canon king I wasn't 13 and crazy I was 13 and right fuck you

[carlyraejepsans]

why did you block Neil Gaiman? I didn't get what the post you tagged with this info had to do with him sorry T.T

oh this is gomens fandom history, but basically if you were posting in the tag in the time before the tv series came out (and in the days immediately afterwards... ye gods what a nightmare) there was a non zero chance that he would reblog your post to like. correct you or disagree with your headcanon, or defend himself from criticism if you said anything mildly negative and stuff like that (and after that, his followers did the work to annoy the op to death).

really not an good way for a writer to interact with a fandom bc it eroded a wall between audience and author that is vital for fandom to exist. so you had to block him first! or bully him. we usually did both.
