Oh My Gosh This Is So Good, How The Heck Do People Make This Stuff?

Authors may never know just how much their works affect us and there’s something tragic about that. Thank you to all the writers, please keep your work up, it means more to people than you know.

I get so incredibly emotional about fanfiction. many a time have I wept about the passage of time—dear 2018 fic that had the authors note etchings that you were in grad school: I hope writing this made midterms more bearable, or at least that one night. thank you for writing my favorite character or ship, it’s comforting to know that I have a friend across time that had the same rot, the same afflictions, the same ideas when experiencing this media. 

dear fanfiction from my adolescence, that made me realize I still had worth outside of conventional creative writing classes. that I was still a writer, even in the dark, even alone. thank you for influencing me in so many ways unbeknownst to you. 

I get emotional about the “missing” parts in an unfinished series—what was in your head, ao3 user? your dreams and hopes and ideas? Or, what about chapter ten, which has triple the amount of comments due to your plot twist. what was that like in the timeline of your life? or, what was it like when you happened to only get one comment on chapter 1? 

the rarepair authors that I’ll never connect with because they moved on: thank you for still leaving it up. 

it’s just. cosmic to me to open these fics from 2,5,10 years ago and see where the author was at, to see where fandom was at, to see anything at all so human!!

I can comment, I can kudos and bookmark, but there’s no obligation for them to write back. I’m just thinking about the passage of time and the idea that we can connect in so many ways!

This series just finished today and it was a great one

If you’re a fan of Gabenath I’d highly recommend it (Probably rated for teen and up)

Please Take Me Dancing Tonight : Chapter 1 Next

Check out this incredible artist, her designs are so good, especially her outfits.

It's so stylish

one thing that I like to do with Marinette is designing little outfits for her, cause she is just too cute! The two green ones are well chat noir inspired obviously

This is the first time I've ever posted fanfiction! Read the summary for "Ladybug and the Bee" below!

After seeing it with her own eyes, Chloé comes to the crushing realization that her idol and hero Ladybug has been none other than Marinette Dupain-Cheng. How will Chloé confront the unsettling fact that she'd been unknowingly bullying the very person who had been repeatedly saving her? This story explores what a redemption arc for Chloé could've looked liked as she seeks to turn over a new leaf and slowly become friends with Marinette.

This story is set before the season 3 finale as I believe Marinette and the gang had much more goodwill for Chloé around that time. Above is the first chapter of three with the second coming out very soon. Hope you check it out and enjoy!

Gabenath is so incredible and every action between them bleeds so beautifully into their supervillain work. The best of this is seen when Ladybug captures Mayura and Hawkmoth lets go of Chat, half of his ultimate goal, to save her. Their affection permeates throughout all of their actions so clearly, it’s such a treat to see

whats your favourite part of the gabenath lovesquare? (hawknath, hawkyura, gabeyura, gabenath)

definitely gabenath, no competition. the rest of the square all tie for second place haha

@marinettenoirfan put it best in one of the replies they left—

This shot blows me away. Gabriel trying to connect to Adrien for selfish reasons, Nathalie still bound by her assisting device, Adrien looking worried at the head of the table, unaware of everything happening around him all while a picture of Emilie, stark white against the dark cabinet, stares at them.

Emilie's photo is like a constant reminder of a curse they can't escape. She is quite literally hanging over them because Gabriel can't move on which brings down everyone around him.

...

But how can Gabriel stop? She's staring right at him and he won't turn away.

He's so smug... he's so smug! I love it
