Final Essay In My Fan Fiction Class For The Pride And Prejudice Unit Was About Examining The Pride And
Final essay in my fan fiction class for the Pride and Prejudice unit was about examining the Pride and Prejudice fan fiction we’ve interacted with and deciding what elements of the origin text and the subsequent fan fiction we would want to “love, marry, or kill” in relation to our own hypothetical fan fiction
(and of course how we would use our work and knowledge of other works to develop social commentary bc most fan fiction makes social commentary on some level)
So I thought a contemporary version of Pride and Prejudice that follows the plot of the origin text but Mr. Darcy is a woman (so we get lesbians) and Mr. Bingley is a really terrible wingman and part of the plot hinges on Mrs. Bennett constantly trying to set Elizabeth up with men bc it would make the family look better in some way but Mr. Bennett is like “have you seen our daughter??? She is so gay you can’t keep doing this”
(which is how we still get conflict related to Mr. Collins and Wickham, who I think I would also make a woman cause it’d be funny)
But anyways I think this would be fun bc a lot of Pride and Prejudice’s conflict comes from societal expectations and stupid unspoken social rules so in a contemporary setting making it really queer would be a good way to uphold this type of conflict without it feeling weirdly outdated

Went to a zine fest and took a picture of a bumper sticker that said “honk if you love old man yaoi” so I could show it to my friend and as I was trying to text her a picture of it SHE SENT ME A PICTURE OF THE BUMPER STICKER and the caption was “this you?”

Whenever I get too obsessed with a show i literally start dreaming fake episodes and then have to wake up and check to see if it was a real episode or not
So when I was deep into 9-1-1 a few years ago (mostly for Buddie) I had a dream where Buck was having a panic attack or something and Eddie was holding him being like “you’re safe, you’re okay, I got you” or whatever and then Buck just like…kissed Eddie???? And then I woke up
But now with what I’ve been seeing online about the most recent episodes I feel like this is a plausible scenario????
Am I a prophet????
there's actually a secret eighth deadly sin and it's exactly like gluttony except for textile projects
I went to an independent bookstore that was built in an old theater and I think about it at least once a week. The mezzanine was turned into a used books section. There were alcoves dedicated to classic authors, some sharing space with others while other authors had their own sections (Shakespeare being one of them).
They had local author events and carts full of books you could get a dollar each (as long as you bought the 12 dollar tote bag to put them in) (which is incredibly reasonable don’t get it twisted).
I wish I could go back there every day but it was in ANOTHER STATE so now I can only smell those old books and drink that frozen hot chocolate in my dreams.
Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.
Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.
I need to somehow incorporate polyamorous ducklings into at least one of the three Hilson WIPs I have going rn (two of them would arguably be difficult to work in due to the timeline)
Very much into hilson fanfics where the og ducklings are just casually in a polyamorous relationship in the background bc it shows how completely fucked up hilson is
So very randomly last April I was pulled into a little friend group and I’ve had to lie to the two other people in this group about having other friends to hang out with!!! Like lol I was/am a friendless loser so you two are it!!!
Like the other friends I’ve had I talk to like once every six months and don’t hang out with in person lol
Invited just those two goons to have dinner w me for my birthday and they seemed shocked it was just the two of them so I lied and said that my other friends and I were meeting up another day >:)
This is not Sad at all don’t say anything

You know what this is really insensitive to ask because I have a very complicated relationship with babies. At one point I was in fact a baby and I had a dog. That dog ran around a lot and at one point picked me up with its feral jowels and dragged me about my living room. The carpet was so rough against my soft little baby skin and gave me 👏PERMANENT👏SCARS👏 along my entire body. I look like someone took a panini press to my entire baby body. We ended up keeping the dog for a few more years but every day I could only quiver in fear for my soft baby skin because of that dog.
Think before you speak.
