Proud Shane hater since day one...the moment he started talking to rick abt how incompetent women are I knew this guy sucked.

I think about the writer who stopped writing because people went after them.

I think about the new reader who got scared off from commenting because they might say the wrong thing.

I think about the artist who was going to dip their toes in, but saw a blacklist posted and debated in the fandom they so recently were excited about.

I think about all the people who would be here with us, writing meta and squeeing and creating and lifting up creators. Who became ghosts, afraid that to speak up is to stick out your neck.

How many stories won't we get to read, how many pieces of art won't take our breath away, how many comments won't be put in notes or on stories that push us through our blocks... because anger and pettiness and jealousy and aggression are so common in fandoms that so many become ghosts before their time, and the ones who stick through it are still healing from their battle scars?

I mourn all the stories I will never see, all the friends I will never make, all the headcanons that will never bring stars to my eyes.

And I hope that all those who went quiet before they could speak will find a place to be safe, so that one day I may hear their voice.

Tbh I don't understand anyone who denies their favorite character's flaws and acts like they've never done anything wrong when that is like consistently the most interesting part of any character ever

reminder that daryl wore beth’s shoe laces for longer than he knew her

[werewolfbytes]

just in case you were unaware true love wasn’t invented until november 18th 2012 when season 3 episode 6 of the walking dead aired and in the last few minutes of the episode rick grimes walks out from the prison his survivor group has been staying in holding his newborn baby who’s mother just violently died and across the prison yard through the chain link fence sees michonne standing there like an angel holding baby formula she’d rescued, brought to them from his friends who’d been kidnapped by the rival survivor group, surrounded by zombies who aren’t biting her and who in the opening of the next episode he has to rescue…btw

rick going from his toxic cheating lying killing each other polycule with lori and shane to his badass working as a team mind reading polycule with michonne and daryl

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

[novelconcepts]

Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?

i see a man on a motorcycle and immediately start maladaptive daydreaming about daryl dixon

[belleeebelleee]

"She gets hurt; she dies; she catches a fever; she gets taken out by a walker; she gets hit by lightning—anything. Anything happens to her, I'll kill you."

[!!spoilers for twd s7!!]

gregory should fucking die.

jesus: "you can't send her back. she's pregnant."

gregory: "that's her mistake."

i hate gregory more than i've ever hated the governor, shane, negan, spencer, or dw*ght, combined. what are his credentials? why is he even leader of hilltop? why is he still alive? i hate him. i hate him. i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him

[nutnoce]

Chore Scorpion: I come from the toughest meanest place you can imagine. I want to be gentle, I want to die gently, but It seems that when life gets hard I have to get harder to match.

[twd-bee3]

dare i say that this poem reminds me of daryl dixon, specifically in the older seasons of TWD…
