Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

I saw a post and I don’t want to call the person out, but the post expressed fear of writing fanfic in case of unintentionally mischaracterizing a character.
And I cannot stress this enough …
It doesn’t fucking matter.
I’ve read stories by people who tagged the fic “OOC” (out of character) and I thought the characterization was spot-on perfection.
I’ve read stories by people who bragged about their characterization choices/skills and I don’t know who that was in the story but I don’t recognize them as the character.
And, again, it doesn’t fucking matter.
Part of fanfic is author interpretation of character. To be clear: I’m not talking about authors who write OCs and give them canon character names. I’m talking about authors who write the character the way the author sees the character. I’m talking about authors who do their best to characterize, and the characterization may or may not be mainstream. I’m talking about authors who write to the best of their ability.
Because that’s what fucking matters.
Set fear aside.
Write the thing.
#gone are the days where there are people scouring fics for ‘mistakes’ to call out#no one is grading your story. no fanfic cop is gonna write you up for getting a character wrong#if someone ever does critique your characterization like an asshole#you have my permission to lie to them#say something like ‘this is actually an AU. the only difference is in this universe internet randos never act like jerks’

Couple + Sibling/relative third wheel is honestly an S-tier trio dynamic and I wish we saw more of this in media.
"You are my soulmate. We are forged together by battle and tears and love. Also my brother's coming along."
"Yo."

Not rotating one blorbo around like a rotisserie chicken. More like I’m running a 7-11 and I got a bunch of blorbos gently spinning in the hotdog case. Some of them will be piping hot. Some will be lukewarm. No I can’t tell you which. The buns are also questionable. Yes, you should try it with the pump-out chili and cheese. For 89 cents you can add a Big Gulp

Imagine
Playing two truths and a lie with SG-1 as a normal fucking person and trying to figure out which of the following is a lie:
1. Daniel has died 5 times
2. An alien race has a ship named after Jack
3. Sam blew up an entire galaxy
And the answer, you find out, is number one because Daniel, the man sitting right in front of you, drunk off of two Miller Lites, hasn’t died 5 times but in fact has died 9 times

THE PITT (2025–) 1.10 “4:00 P.M.”
#McKay wasn't just looking out for the girls on David's list here imo#if Pittfest had been David or if David had attacked those girls and no one at PTMC had said/done anything like McKay did#I think Robby would have walked off that roof in the last episode blaming himself#the pitt
