what’s life without a little risk? @badfvith - Tumblr Blog

ever since i was a little girl i knew i was doomed to take things too seriously and think about them forever

i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.

shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

hey if you think you’re being slick by using ai to write your entire fic it’s really obvious and i’m embarrassed for you. i’m so tempted to comment your ai slop bores me under every single one of these unoriginal stories. and if you’re reading this and you use ai (i definitely have mutuals on here that do) write badly and learn to improve like the rest of us. i look back on some of my stories (who am i kidding literally all of them) and cringe at how bad they are… but you know what at least they’re human, with human mistakes. so, if you fully think that nobody knows you’re using ai, maybe they don’t (but i sure do 🙂)

a reminder all of us (including myself) could use

maturity in fandom space is understanding that people will have their own characterization and interpretation of the fictional characters you love, sometimes you will see their opinions on your favorite fictional characters that you don’t agree with or outright believe is wrong, but instead of getting into an argument with them or insulting them, you choose to scroll past things you don’t like and mind your own business. it’s all play pretend anyway. I promise you it won’t affect your life in any way, shape or form if a random stranger doesn’t sympathize with a misunderstood villain you love (and I say this as a villain lover who loves and sympathizes with so many misunderstood villains)

let’s keep fandom a kinder and less toxic space.
