IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE SAYING THEY DIDNT LIKE SUPERNATURAL AFTER SEASON FIVE!!!!!! YOU DONT LIKE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND FOUND FAMILY AND EVER MORE RIDICULOUS PLOT POINTS AND GAY LOVE????? SOUNDS LIKE A SKILL ISSUE TO ME
#also character developement #literally all character developement happens in the later seasons #and it’s great shit (via @carryoncastiel)
want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons
Perhaps they ought not to have eaten the dragon. There had been people objecting to it at the time. Surely such meat was poisonous. Perhaps it was even an affront, an insult to some intangible order of nature they ought to honour.
But the city was starving, the siege had gone on too long, and the king's troops were still a week's march away. The scorched earth would be fertile again in time, but right now it was barren. Right now there were mouths to feed. So they changed their crossbows for butcher knives and got to work.
None of the royal commanders asked any questions that could not be answered. After all, their aid had come shamefully late. The dragon's horned skull made a noble gift, a fitting tribute from a triumphant city to its humbled king. Who would have thought to question them?
And none of the townsfolk spoke up, when the first golden-eyed babes were born. Children who grew up barefoot and fearless, clambering over the city's patched and rebuilt roofs like they had no notion of falling, with a strange glitter to their skin when the sunlight hit it just so. No one breathed a word about dragons.
Because soon enough there were deft, young hands taking loaves straight out of the oven, heedlessly lifting iron from the forge, plunging into boiling laundry water. And some of them more wondrous still, wild, warm-skinned youths, with inexplicable knowledge and peculiar remedies.
A blessing, their families said proudly. A blessing after so much hardship. Which it was, in its way. This city would never fear dragon fire again.
Time for a new poll! I'm curious to see the spread of answers on this one (and hear any other series not on the list.) Tried to go for a range of older and newer series on here, more on the older end of the spectrum, but I can't cover everything with the limited poll options here, so I hope you'll share your answers! :)
What was the first detective series (TV or books) you ever watched/read?
Sherlock Holmes (books, TV, cartoons or movies)
Hercule Poirot (books or TV)
Nancy Drew (books, comics, movies, TV)

Columbo
Murder, She Wrote
Detective Conan / Case Closed (manga, movies or anime)
Psych
Only Murders in the Building
Dead Boy Detectives
Enola Holmes (books or movies)
Other (list below in the comments?)
Please reblog for a larger sample size, thank you!
I want to see a work of fiction that reverses the "vampires are snobby upper class, werewolves are brutish lower class" stereotypes
Consider a vampire's reliance on blood as a metaphor for living paycheck-to-paycheck and depending on the kindness of others to get by, and the desparation that can make one slip into taking.

why didn’t gandalf just carry the ring to mordor himself with these tongs
like i’m picturing him being really careful and looking at it and carrying it exactly like this while walking or riding through the woods and across rivers and up mountains and through valleys and he doesn’t drop it even once except at the very end where he tidily drops it into the volcano. frodo sam and the crew and even gollum wholly undisturbed. sauron can’t find him bc of the meditative aura surrounding him which is generated by his immense focus on not dropping it
World's most tense egg and spoon race
this somehow became the funniest thing on earth in my head and I had to draw it so
#wait. what if he drops the tongs in at the end but he didn't mean to so he's just staring forlornly at the lava#because of the power he had to give up to protect the world? no. because now he has to buy new tongs
let's not forget: those are FRODO'S tongs. you bet he's upset, how he's got to go all the way back to the Shire and apologise to Frodo for dropping his tongs in a volcano :(
dungeons & dragons: honor among thieves + text posts bonus:
love characters who are like "this is how the world works. this is how it has to be (because if i'm wrong i have to face what i've done // if i'm wrong i have to face whats been done to me) "
This trait is much more endearing in fiction than in my mother.
Doing away with the lame "character gets fat to indicate that they've become a huge loser" trope and replacing it with a new, cooler "character gets fat to indicate they finally feel fulfilled with life" trope
Doing away with the lame “character loses weight to indicate that they’ve regained control over their life” trope and replacing it with a new, cooler “character gets fat to indicate they’ve found the comfort and stability to look after themselves and are recovering from hardships”
These were in the tags and I love every single one of them.
#character gets fat because they finally found the meds that work #character gets fat because they're in a relationship with someone who respects their boundaries and never food polices them #character gets fat because they discovered they love to cook and they slay in the kitchen #character gets fat because they've survived until the age where their body just naturally did that and it's fine #character gets fat because cheese is worth it goddammit
Being fat is valid. No matter how you arrived there. Being fat is wonderful and we need more loved and appreciated fat characters.
i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they're always like
"he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy" like babygirl i can't be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital
"the amber liquid tasted sweet" bestie i can assure you it did not
Do something creative even if it sucks. Do something creative even if it sucks. Do something creative even if it sucks. Do something creative even if it sucks. Do something creative even if it sucks. Do something creative even if it sucks. Do something creative even if it sucks.
I think everyone has both "hard" headcanons (things that are so integral to your understanding of a story that you can't enjoy content that contradicts them), and "soft" headcanons (things that are mutable, where you aren't strongly attached or you're open to alternate interpretations) and if you aren't sure if something is one or the other you can just read a fic where the author disagrees with you and see whether you react with "Huh, that's interesting" or "I have been overcome with a creeping sense of existential wrongness."
Important that this is a separate, distinct axis from "how well is this headcanon supported by the source material". U will for sure have a better time if your hard headcanons are well-supported, but it's fully possible to have a dealbreakingly hard headcanon that flatly contradicts the source!
originality's cool but don't forget that the guys you're scared of ripping off almost always talk openly about the pieces of art that directly influenced them
one of my professors, a historian who has been interviewed as an expert in various documentaries, said that the secret to documentaries is saying something very obvious, as slowly as possible. for example, if you say “the romans…….. enjoyed their dinner parties” or "being a gladiator... was... very... dangerous" then the filmmakers can get that clip and immediately pan over some cool pictures of mosaics or something. this has forever changed the way i view documentaries
