Rambles

Almost 40, she/her, fanfic reader, Ao3 enthusiast, occasional foodie, fanfic writer wannabe, too many fandoms to count, get fandom burnout so fast it makes my head spin, possibly NSFW at times, no minors please

I can never give them up.

Personal headcanon is that Bull is still part of the inquisition even though they are married and they see each others whenever they can. Sometimes that means years apart. Bull hitched a ride with Morrigan and the Inquisitor through the Eluvians to make this happen.

He stays for a while helping with the Antaam issue and then they part ways again. Just until next time though, there is always that promise.

He is way older than Dorian so the ten years gap between DAI and DATV is showing more decisevely on him and maybe he walks with a cane now and doesn't fight (as much) anymore.

The problem with canon divergent fics is that things need to make at least as much sense as they do in canon -to be honest I usually expect better than canon- and sometimes they just.. don't.

[artanisnaanie]

Honestly, one of the saddest experiences on ao3 is reading the BEST fic ever and then finding out the author is an asshole.

Recovery may never happen 😭

[artanisnaanie]

I'm not an idiot, I know what to expect when my ship sails in canon in season 1.

[artanisnaanie]

Every time there is mentions of italian cooking in a fic I start to hyperventilate thinking how wrong it can get and then I'm usually right

[lifblogs]

Uh… Um… Ships aren’t illegal.

[athingofvikings]

Ships are ONLY ILLEGAL IF...

The Vessel switches off their location-transmission devices, thereby making themselves a HAZARD TO MARITIME NAVIGATION, in order to ENGAGE IN ILLEGAL ACTS.

The Vessel is FRAUDULENTLY DISPLAYING a national flag that is NOT OF THEIR REGISTERED PORT OF ORIGIN.

The Vessel is otherwise engaged in ACTS THAT VIOLATE SOLEMN MARITIME LAW, and may face fines and prosecution in admiralty court for their offense in their port of origin or nation in which the offense was registered.

Other than that, no ships are illegal.

[prismatic-bell]

Actually I regret to inform you some ships ARE illegal. Sailing a ship you know to not be seaworthy may constitute insurance fraud, which is very illegal.

[todays-problematic-ship]

Today instead of a problematic ship, we present you the guidelines on how to avoid the most common mistakes that result in a ship becoming problematic.

[elodieunderglass]

You might feel like my ship bothers you, but actually, I have a letter of marque

[vakarians-babe-archive]

love that character. would hate to go into their tag.

[jasontoddiefor]

I wish AO3 had the opposite function of a bookmark. “You clicked this fic and noped out after chapter 5, don’t read it again” but like private ofc

[artanisnaanie]

Ao3rdr allows you to do exactly that. It has a rating system and the lowest rate deletes the fic from your history and searches, even future ones, but doesn't impact neither the fic per se nor the author.

Why "competing" ships when poly ships are right there

[xenosagaepisodeone]

I love that natasha lyonne sounds like that. more women should sound like that.

[nifflerdream-blog-deactivated20]

me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has

me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier

[obsessivewriter]

This one is so hard to accept. Reblogging to knock that into my brain.

[primarybufferpanel]

Me as a writer: I feel like I’m repeating myself, I’ve already used that theme, I’ve already written that kink, that other character uses that speech pattern so this one in another fandom can’t, I feel like I’m writing predictable things, is this different enough from that other thing I wrote, are people filling out bingo cards by my work? :sobbing:

Me as a reader: oh hell yeah this hit the spot exactly, I hope this writer has written 20 more just like it

[deelaundry]

As one friend said when I felt I was reusing a theme too much, nobody ever says, Did Agatha Christie write about murder again?

[caledoniaseries]

I actually laughed out loud at the last one. A very good point.

[giraffeter]

“I love this, I hope there isn’t anything else out there like it!” Said no one ever

There's something so intimate about two people sharing recipes, sitting the other down and making something for them that they got from somebody else. Sharing a part of their history or their culture. Feeding a person you care about and waiting to see what they think.

Anyway if you see this you have to reblog and tag with a delight from ur day -- even the littlest thing counts
