So, tumblr...

So, coming back to tumblr has been just as stressful for my mental health as I figured it would. You can find me on pillowfort now, which is where I’ll be posting fic updates, occasional meta etc. It IS very multifandom, but if you have a pillowfort, you can follow me there:

Does anybody else get legitimately worried when a fanfic author who was updating regularly just suddenly disappears with no warning? Like, is it a serious case of writers block or are they in a coma? Did they just up and quit? Was it me? Were my reviews not good enough?! Did they die 😳?! Were they kidnapped? Do I need to file a missing persons report? Excuse me officer, there’s been 13 weekly updates and now nothing for months! Find them! What’s their name?! Name!? I don’t know their name but they write 3k+ chapters and I need them safe and back in my life!

Sir, that’s my emotional support fanfic author.

Officer: i’m sorry, but you can’t file this person missing.

Me: you don’t have all the facts.

Officer: which are?

Me: i love them.

So, painful story, but I’ve really needed to tell it for a while.

My best friend, the woman I loved for 13 years, was a fic writer in the middle of an especially long piece. She updated on a schedule and had for years. She had a small, but loyal following.

And then she died out of nowhere. One day we were laughing, the next she was in a coma, 3 days later she was dead. She hadn’t been ill and to this day we don’t know what took her. She was just gone.

I knew she had friends all over the world so I went into her email to see if I could find addresses and notify people after a week of blind grief. In her inbox were about a dozen concerned messages from her readers. I cried. I cried and cried and I responded to all of them, telling people she had passed.

And the messages kept coming. Those people spread the word and message after message came in, most of them addressed to me now, as I had given those original readers my contact info. There were words of comfort and grief and just every emotion imaginable in that scenario. I wrote back to them all, thanking them and comforting them.

For months after she died, during the worst of my grief, I had those messages. I had those people. And they had me. I really think I might not have made it to the other side without them.

So, the fact that you care? That you think of them? That these authors who became a presence in your world are missed when they aren’t there? It means something very real. On the off chance that the author did die? Anyone who has seen this post will find comfort during the loss of their friend or family member, knowing that you all exist. That they aren’t alone. That you CARE that the world now lacks their loved one.

So, yeah. I’ve seen this post and ones like it for years and wanted to share this story. I finally could today.

Thank you, every person who reblogged this post. People like you are the biggest reason I’m alive today.

This is a really helpful suggestion if you find yourself taking some time to adjust to someone’s new pronouns/name!

[fizziewizzie]

Ppl act like its so hard to do this. Stop making excuses just bc u can’t except something new. Smfh

I think the point of this post is actually that for some people, it really is hard! As somebody else said in another thread of this post, it’s especially difficult for people with ADD/ASD/Dyslexia. I have ADD and am on the spectrum and my brain does NOT like change! BUT—and this is the important thing—hard isn’t a reason not to put in the effort! Which is exactly what the tweet is about. It acknowledges that for some people, it IS difficult, and that that’s okay, so long as you still work on it. There’s no shame in having a brain that doesn’t adapt well to change. There IS shame is not doing everything you can with that brain to validate somebody else’s existence.

seconding this as a nb person. It definitely can be hard for people to get used to new pronouns (or names), and that’s fine! What’s not fine is not bothering to try, because it’s hard. If you’re putting the effort in, we notice and, for me at least, that’s generally much more important

Imagine Newt not actually knowing how to interact with non-magical creatures. Jacob takes him to a farm because he knows Newt would love it but Newt doesn’t know how to act around the animals but is fascinated, like, “Jacob what is this? What does it do?” “It’s just a cow.” “Fascinating! Teach me cow etiquette!” Jacob would be so proud that he could teach Newt about creatures.

do you ever see someone’s comment about a film/tv show you watch or a book you’ve read and wonder if maybe we all truly live in different realities and the internet is the only commonly shared space which doesn’t change across universes, because it isn’t fucking possible to draw such dumbass conclusions about a thing unless we’ve seen/read different versions of it

FANTASTIC BEASTS 1 & 2: Everyone needs a Jacob Kowalski! ❤️️

“Because you’re my friend and I’ll never forget how you helped me, Jacob.”  (fantasticbeasts)

There’s only one Jacob Kowalski. A small, rotund Muggle with a huge heart, lots of courage, deep loyalty, and great baking skills. As played Dan Fogler, he is one of the best characters in the Fantastic Beasts series! ❤️️

[demigodlybeasts]

Me: Hmmm… I wonder why the magical community went from “Elegant and refined muggle fashion” in the Fantastic Beasts time to “an absolute stand-out disaster of green and purple” in the Harry Potter books.

*Cut to Jacob Kowalski cackling while he writes the most misguiding and impossibly trolling ‘Guide to look like a no-maj’ book ever.*
