pov you’re on tumblr for halloween:

You know what?

I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.

I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)

I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.

I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.

I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.

I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.

I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.

I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.

I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.

I HAVE WAITED ALL YEAR TO POST THIS

i think if i were in the aphverse id be in love w aphmau too

This just makes me think of a role reversal-ish au with everyone thinking Aphmau is Irene incarnate and Aaron Shad but actually the opposite.

You think MCD Aphmau is ever bitter cleaning up Irene's mess?

Like does she run into people slighted by Irene all the time, blaming it on her or demanding she fix it even though really, she is not the same person?

And then she does her best to make it right despite that, because that's the kind of person she is, and each time the people are just... kinda ungrateful.

And then Shad comes along, wanting to kill her because she's Irene and completely fucked him over and she finally snaps like;

"THATS NOT MY FUCKING PROBLEM! It's not my responsibility to clean up her mess! Irene is dead! And I'm too tired for this shit!"

I imagine that snaps Shad out of his murder boner. "Oh shit, it really isn't Irene." And then that starts this road of getting to know this new "Irene" who is now absolutely nothing like the old one.

In fact... Aphmau now is way more like Shad used to be. And Shad himself doesn't know how to feel about that. Meanwhile, Aaron is cackling because, "Bitch that's what I was trying to tell you!"

since people are starting to see my mcd posts, i want y’all to know that i’m madly in love with vylad ro’meave and that i also think he’s criminally underrated. i’m surviving on mere SCRAPS of content here.

i love him so much. like genuinely. his character potential was fumbled horrifically and i stand by that

will make a bigger post about this later but i've been thinking about my rewrite lately, specifically the jury. Was thinkin about how (Zane excluded) there were 8 jurors, and how since I wanted the DW to all be foils of each other, I wanted the jurors to all be foils of each other (idk if foil is the right word here but yall get it i think)

Then I started thinking about how I want Irena and Shad to be foils of each other, and "dang I really want Zane to have a foil, specifically for his role as an extension of Irena, but who could that be??" and it's like. Aaron is right there.

Because like?? Irena literally destroyed Shad's life. Killed his child, tore apart his family, and banished him from his home. All for her own selfish wants.

And then Zane does LITERALLY the exact same shit to Aaron. I can't remember how much of this is canon vs rewrite, but the pieces fit together a little too perfectly lmao
