Hey I did a thing be proud of me.
To the power of a group of people unapologetically loving something silly and taking control of the stories that matter to them.
To the power of saving your favorite characters as a form of saving yourself.
To positive and healthy expressions of queer love, shared art, and making something beautiful together.
To the realization that “canon” merely indicates the version of the story preferred by the copyright holders - often corporations - and the rest is just fan fiction fodder, baby!
To fan fiction as an outlet for majority queer and female creators, perpetually blowing paid male writers out of the water.
To better fucking representation on every front moving forward.
To blackout poetry, its own form of rebellion.
To family.
To family found.
To asserting that we, too, can live to see our own happy endings.
And,
of course,

rdj kissing josh brolin on the lips is such a power move. the man doesn’t give a single fuck. he’s the male protagonist archetype of this century but he will kiss as many guys as he pleases because he can and there’s nothing hollywood can do about it
Hey runners (and walkers)! Thought this might be helpful :)
i’m in this very odd bubble
like logically, i know i have a lot to do
but like, emotionally, i’m just.. not.. registering it??? i’m not so much calm but like.. standing in a sound proof fishbowl watching all of my obligations press their faces to the glass, yelling and knocking, and like, my homework and emails are teaming up to make a battering ram and my job is trying to tunnel under and i’m just standing here watching it all in muffled, deaf silence like “ok”

Something I think is neat and really cute about fanfic is that there’s a personal version of each character in it? Like, each writer focuses on different traits and qualities and even though there can be a hundred fics with the same character, they’re really not exactly the same.
So even if you and I are writing a fic with the same characters, they can still be uniquely different despite having the same core and they’re each dear to us personally as our take on the person.
I don’t know, I just think it’s cute that each writer cherishes these characters in personal and unique ways.
