Not gonna draw attention to the post because I suspect the person might blow a gasket, but it's always so funny to me when you see someone picking apart fanart, in this case, a popular fan Ot3 pairing, and they're like, "y'all have brainrot, this'll never be canon, you realize that?"
And maybe I'm just ancient, but since when has fandom ever been about validating canon? Canon is incidental to fandom output. It is, at best, a guideline. You can stick to it, or you can go so far off the beaten path that you fall off the edge of the world and wind up in a new one where the map has words like "here be dragons" stamped in the upper corner.
Fandom is about exploration beyond the canon. It can look like canon, talk like canon, and sometimes even emulate it so perfectly you'd swear you've found the author's secret account, but it doesn't have to.
Ultimately, however, it's about having fun. And if you can't understand that, I have no idea what you're doing here.
Currently obsessed with Under the Plum Blossoms by @amberstarfight on ao3.
Peak Lord disciple AUs are a particular favorite of mine & extra points if my "blockhead baby who only cares about fight" is the one with the emotional intelligence to understand what's happening here. I mean, it's not hard to be less dense than Shen Yuan but still, credit where credit is due.
This scene from Chapter 6 made me feel all fluffy & I had to try my hand at it. Idk if they look any different from how I usually draw them but I had fun lol.
Here's to them making a 3rd path together 💕🥂I appreciate your brain worms & will gladly follow them wherever they wanna go!
I don't think this short piece is worth posting on AO3, and it isn't part of a larger fic at this time. Tumblr seems like a good place to post?

Fandom: Yuri!! on Ice

Summary: On your sixteenth birthday, it's traditional to write a letter to your soulmate. Yuuri struggles.
Yuuri’s mind is blank, like the paper before him.
A letter to his soulmate seems about as real as a letter to Santa Claus, but he has to write something, if only to avoid disappointing his parents.
Hello. I don’t think you’re real.
No, that’s not right.
Yuuri sets down his pen again and looks out the window. Darkness, crickets chirping; it’s late, even for him. He pushes his glasses up and buries his head in his arms, willing the right words to come.
Hello. The thought of you makes me want to run into the sea.
Not very romantic.
It’s a flaw, taking things too seriously. Agonizing over tasks that others brush through with ease. That’s part of the reason Yuuri has such a hard time connecting with others. He doesn’t want to make the wrong move, to show off his weak side.
It’s not insecurity. Yuuri is aware of his own strength as an athlete, and his academic performance is good too. He doesn’t consider himself particularly ugly or especially beautiful; a fair middle-ground.
Hello.
Outside the window, gulls call to each other, and in the distance he can hear the crash of ocean waves.
I’m not perfect, but I will work to surprise you. If your heart is like mine, I hope you will understand.
Yuuri folds up the paper and dutifully sets it underneath his pillow.
“Viktor leans over him and nudges him forward again, pressing a kiss to Yuuri’s neck…
… ‘Ahh, Viktor, I can’t concentrate,’ Yuuri whines.”
It’s been raining a lot lately where I live so I drew some yoi fanart based off of this rainy day fic by @amberstarfight called The Hot Bun Bakery and Cafe
this fic is sweet, and very spicy (my favorite type) so proceed with caution ;)
All right, kid, here’s the deal. At any given time there are around 1500 aliens on the planet most of them right here in Manhattan. And most of them are decent enough. They’re just trying to make a living.
tolkien fans are insufferable because you'll agree to watch the movies with them and then seven hours in they'll say "omg my favourite character is about to appear!" and it's a fucking siege weapon
grond is when you gotta change discs on the extended edition. grond signals snack breaks and a refill of the wine. grond is an omen of good fortune and some respect should be put on his fucking name
SEASONINGS include herbs and spices, along with minerals and chemicals used to season food!!!! Salt, citric acid, and MSG, are all examples of seasonings that are NOT herbs or spices!
HERBS are flavorful leaves. Only. Leaves. Doesn't matter if its dried, fresh, whole, or ground, if it is a leaf, it is an herb
SPICES are flavorful parts of plants that are NOT LEAVES. These include seeds, berries, stems, bark, roots, flowers, buds... NOT LEAVES
Going feral thinking about how we have to pay for the privilege to NOT have to listen to nonstop sales pitches.
"What would your ancestors think of your whole gender thing-" What would YOURS think of being told to buy things every two minutes. I think they would kill CEOs in the streets for being annoying. They were known to do that.
