looking back on the fic I've written in the last few years and my own sexuality journey has made me realize that there is an argument that poly folk and ace/aro folk process love in a lot of the same ways, like the idea that you can have significant, life-defining relationships with different people and you get something important and sometimes even a similar flavor from each relationship but each one is still fundamentally different and significant in its own way and sometimes you don't want sex but you do want hugs and your partner may be having sex with their other partner but that does not make your relationship any less important because they come back to hug you and having more hearts bound up in your own is never a bad thing, because being loved no matter the form is never a bad thing, you are lovable and you can love so many people and having a heart overflowing with love for other people and things and the universe just means that you're healing and finding the people who fit you in whatever way that comes and there will always be someone cooking in the kitchen filling your heart and stomach no matter what and in this essay i will-

hand in unlovable hand

“You’re a fucking idiot, you know that? What the fuck were you thinking, jumping in the water with your hands tied?” he asks, and there’s almost anger in his voice. Kant expected anger, but not about that. It has his eyebrows furrowing. “You told me to,” Kant points out simply. Like it should be that obvious. Because it is to him. Because of course he jumped. What else was he to do? Or. Bison saves Kant.

Beneath the Aurora

A cabin in the mountains in the middle of a cold, January night. Everyone has gone to bed, except for Isak. Standing outside on his own, he looks up at the stars, waiting for the aurora to light up the sky.

Robbe/Sander, side VDS and Elippo | Rivals to Lovers, Classical Musician AU, Fuck Buddies?, Slow Burn | 3/12 | Explicit | ~90k total

Summary:

Rival French Horn players, Robbe and Sander, meet when they are in high school and immediately dislike one another; however, at a summer music camp they learn that they don’t have to like one another to take advantage of the spark that ignites whenever they’re alone. Cue a years-long clandestine, secret…something. Can they call themselves fuck buddies if they’re not actually friends?

How do these two rival musicians weather their non-relationship as their lives interweave and change, as they make choices that take them far from one another? Is it only convenient, or is it something more?

Better like this

For the prompt X works at a restaurant where Y keeps bringing first dates.

“New day, new guy,” Marthe says while uncorking a bottle of Chablis. ”How many consecutive Fridays?”

“Five.” Even doesn’t take his eyes off the guy. “I can work the floor today. If you prefer the bar?”

“I thought you preferred the bar?” 

“Nah, either is fine,” Even says, accepting the waiter’s notepad and wine from her.

He starts making his rounds around the tables. Chats with a few regulars before walking over to the new regular and his date, engrossed in conversation. 

“Looks cozy here,” Even says, making the guy look up at him. It’s the first time he sees him up close; the Cupid bow of his lip, the parentheses when he smirks confidently.

“It is.”

I hate when I'm reading fanfic of a non-american show, and the author makes the main character american. like no, please stop. americans belong in american media and nowhere else. I would even argue it's inhuman to put Americans in a non-native habitat like derry girls

you know you're doing something right when you, as the author, are shaking and crying and autistic hand-flapping when re-reading over the scene you just wrote

skam france was truly so fucking crazy like wdym they made yann walk away from lucas when he came out to him and then two days after he apologized to him for that he asks lucas if it’s okay if he starts dating the girl who outed him to that whole ass school

[thatfandomshit]

I would love Buck coming out to Eddie to play out just like skam

Like Buck tells Eddie he’s interested in someone new and wants him to guess

Eddie guesses a couple girls

Buck: I’ll give you a hint. It’s not a girl.

Eddie: [loading Jonas face]

Eddie: is it me?

Sunday Six (6/9/24)

“Talk later okay?” Even nods. They still don’t move and he thinks that their goodbye should have greater punctuation. There should be a kiss or embrace, a whispered word. Isak looks down and kicks a pebble on the ground in Even’s direction; Even stops it with his foot. Isak laughs softly and finally moves toward the house.

my little skam deep dive the last two nights made me reread the cuddle fic (even though i haven't so much as Looked at my skam fic in at least 6 years) and it's so funny bc like. it's fine. it's not bAD and i'm not cringing rereading it or anything but i also have almost 8 years worth of additional writing experience since i wrote that. so there are So Many points where i'm like, 'ooh ease up on the adjectives and adverbs' or 'ah i'm telling a lot rather than showing here' or where it feels too generic or not as authentic or w/e. and like there are sections where i'm reading and i'm In It and there are points where i can see my style peeking through or where i've used a turn of phrase or description that i still use today.

but it all feels a little wild to me bc until i joined the 911 fandom that was my most popular fic by a mILE. to this day, it's still my most commented fic and the one people engaged with the most on tumblr and bc it was also tropes i loved, i had so much fun writing it. so for so long i firmly believed i would never write anything that good again. that was it. that was my peak. i'd written my magnum opus and nothing else i wrote would ever measure up. and don't get me wrong i'm still v proud of it and so happy it could make other people happy and i'll never get over the reaction at the time but i can also acknowledge. i have in fact written things that are much better than it and i probably would write it a million times better if i were to attempt it now lmao

anyway tl;dr how the fuck is that fic almost eight years old and also writing really is an ever evolving process isn't it
