The Andromeda Strain

(Karamel: The Early Days)

Kara: go fuck yourself.

Mon El: fuck me yourself you coward.

I don't want to live a life thinking that other people are bad. That humans are born bad. That you can't trust anyone. I want to believe that people try. That they are flawed but want to do their best. That people are mostly friendly, trustworthy. That there is good in most everyone. That people who don't treat me well have given up trying because they were hurt themselves. That people do bad things because they are at a disadvantage. I want to believe people are good.

this is such incredible advice for creating any kind of art i have to put it over here to remind myself

[dduane]

And this goes for writing too.

There are stories that only you are qualified to tell best: that only you are able to tell. You are uniquely positioned in spacetime to do this job because of your life detail, your upbringing, your reading, your thinking. No one else can tell your stories just the way you do, no matter how good a writer they might be.

And inside you somewhere are characters desperate for your attention; desperate for your intention and your work to breathe life into them. They need your voice raised to tell their stories. No one else can do it. You are their only hope.

Waste no more time worrying about whether your take on their stories will be good enough. You have more important things to be thinking about. So go get on with it. :)

My favorite thing about the 2x13 couch make out scene is the fact that she already knows, from the second she opens the door, that she's about 20 minutes away from splintering her headboard. But HE has no idea, he's wearing his kicked puppy face right up until she clues him in that he hasn't actually blown it, and she was bullshitting when she shut him down.

And then he goes on this glorious face journey:

Honestly, bravo dude. This was GOLD.

CHAPTER TWO IS UP!

[hymnsofheresy]

"we live in an uncaring universe"

false. i care very deeply. am i not a part of this infinite universe?

[hymnsofheresy]

the universe is the sum of all things. you are a part of the universe. so are your friends. so is your cat that snuggles with you every night. so is the mcdonald's worker that purposefully put an extra chicken nugget in your meal. the universe doesn't just exist at a macro level, but a micro level.

Ao3 volunteers are so strong. A DDoS attack, spam attack, someone impersonating the status updates twt account and trying to scam people out of money, all in the span of a few days.

These people are Volunteers.

I better not see anyone complaining next dono season. These guys are busting their asses to make sure the archive is up and running.

Rb with some positivity for the ao3 volunteers maybe? They deserve the damn world right now.
