Shouldn't you be clapping me in irons? / Too much paperwork. MISS FISHER'S MURDER MYSTERIES (2012–2015) — 1x03 "The Green Mill Murder"

[asteroidtroglodyte]

I love how these are from an Unreality subreddit but to my eye they just read like regular Tumblr shitposts. Did we cross-pollinate or something

Hey, take it from someone creeping towards 40:

Ignore the fun police.

If you like it, order your steak well done. Get your bagel toasted with jam and butter. Put ice in your scotch and ketchup on your hotdog. Get red wine with fish and white with steak. Who cares?

If you want to, listen to pop music. Watch blockbuster popcorn flicks. Read dime store novels. Enjoy them.

Dye your hair or cut it off. Paint your fingernails blue. Wear whatever the fuck you want on your own time (ie, when not at a job or school or whatever where you can get penalized for breaking rules) as long as you aren’t like welding or shoveling snow.

Anyone who tries to tell you you’re wrong? Say “okay” and go back to what you were doing. You’re not hurting them by enjoying yourself or having things the way you like them.

There are no caveats or addendums to this. No “but what about x?” Nah. You’re allowed the things you like. You don’t have to justify your taste or apologize for it if it’s not hurting anyone.

And likewise, let other people live their lives. We’re all dead in the long run, so tend your own garden before you become fertilizer in it.

Shoutout to my fellow fandom olds(tm). Never too old to lose your shit over something, ship the fuck out of a pairing, contribute, write, create art, throw out headcanons, reblog, etc - I see you.

[jakciekennedy]

sometimes i forget how good romeo + juliet 1996 is and then john leguizamo comes on screen and it’s like. oh yeah, this really is like the best adaptation ever. and then harold perrineau comes on screen and you’re like, yeah actually this performance should define the role forever. and then when doves cry starts playing at the wedding and you’re like, okay, yep, no one else will ever do it like this. incredible

[bauliya]

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

[cake-writes]

[divinesong]

Yea, sure. Until YOU or people you love are among the victims for someone else’s love and the villains won’t care. Would also like to point out that some villians(Kuvira, for example) have been willing to sacrifice/throw away love interests for their own goals.

[bauliya]

idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars.

reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years

[coughdropsandsoftspots]

While making dinner tonight, I very very fleetingly, but very seriously and legitimately thought “I should watch Goncharov tonight”

And then I Remembered.

Fic writers & fellow Ao3 users I have a question-

Do you like it/is it correct Ao3 etiquette to comment on a fic you liked even if it’s like, from 2005 and from a fandom long dead? I’ve been tossing and turning about this because I don’t wanna accidentally like, bring back middle school trauma for sonicfan420 on a random Tuesday.

[waknatious]

ALWAYS COMMENT

[philologicalbat]

for context, AO3 was launched in 2009. if you’re reading a fic from 2005, it’s specifically because the author wants you to have access to it. I myself have something like 15 fics that I re-uploaded to AO3 from other sites. I know other writers have more. AO3 is an archive; it’s not social media. your Instagram rules of engagement don’t apply.

old fics are on AO3 for you to read. enjoy them!

[pusheenthenerdcat]

please comment! the archive emails us to let us know if someone leaves a comment no matter how old the fic is it will get seen and appreciated!

Especially lately when i have gotten so many bot comments, when a real human being shows up it is SO EXCITING

[azriona]

Getting comments on older fics is almost better than comments on new fic--it's a thrill to know something is still appreciated after so many years.

And we can turn off email notifications if we decide we DON'T want to hear from you, but still want it available for you to read and enjoy. So please don't be afraid to leave a comment if you want--if we want to hear your thoughts, we will, and if we don't, you won't be bothering us in the slightest. And when we're ready to hear them, they'll be waiting for us!

If you can see the fic, you can comment on the fic. Older fics deserve love, too!!!

[porcupine-girl]

Also remember that, not just email notifications, but authors can completely turn off commenting on a fic if they really don't want you to comment! If an author is so embarrassed by a fic they don't want to hear about it (but can't bring themselves to delete it), they have that control.

If you are able to comment on a fic, the author decided to allow that when they didn't have to. THEY WANT COMMENTS.

[edosianorchids901]

It's worth noting that some people turn off emails while still wanting to receive comments! I personally have email notifications off because the spam comments got relentless enough that I was just constantly getting barraged with emails. I don't get comment emails, but I check my comment inbox on AO3 regularly, and it's exciting to refresh to new comments!

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO SKELLY CREW

[darkjan]

you shall not read a little each day - you'll either go 3 months with not a page read or read three books in three days, no in-between

[lobstabear]

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

[knittingontheroad]

I became a tattoo artist at 49.

Married the love of my life at 50.

Got my Class A CDL at 59.

You've got time.

As long as you're breathing, you've got time.

[darkjan]

Just live - your life isn't over because time passed, you'll just become more yourself as time goes by, so enjoy being you

[darkjan]

in this month's episode of "let's see if you can stop taking your meds" the answer is:

no

you cannot
