Creator Craig Gerber has said that the Sofia the First: Royal Magic episode featuring Elena has not been finished yet.
Heads up for those wondering!! Elena's episode still hasn't been fished yet. I've never seen Sophia but I can't WAIT to see the episode with Elena in it!!! 🥰👏
“Are you listening?” Zuko shouted. “Standing up for them is just going to get you hurt!”
Absolutely obsessed with Zukka rn. I've been reading so many fanfics, lemme know if you have any good ones where they have to huddle for warmth or anything peak My friend did the awesome background btw :3 Scene: End of Chapter 10
Will We Last the Night on Ao3
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Highly recommend this story!!! Zukka has my heart right now 🥰
Actually insane over the fact that EoA chose to explicitly, textually tie Esteban’s decision to betray his family to his trauma over losing his parents. Like. It’s definitely a supported reading that this is some post facto justification for what was a decision actually motivated mostly by greed and ego, but what he himself says about it is that he felt like he could see a danger, that no one was listening to him when he tried to warn them about it and beg them to take a different course of action, and that the last time this happened both his parents wound up dead so this time he decided to be proactive about trying to protect the people he loves. And then he failed miserably at doing that because Shuriki betrayed him.
Like it’s an incredible choice because it’s genuinely very good writing that adds a ton of layers and complexity to his motivations—even if it is partially justification I don’t disbelieve him that it was a contributing factor, yknow?—and also I’m sitting here clutching my head losing my mind about it bc like. He and Elena are the same. They are foiled in so many interesting ways and their motivations are the same. They actually both struggle a ton with entrusting responsibility to other people when it’s about something important to them. They both want to protect Avalor and their families. They both lose their parents to something well beyond their control and are so terrified of losing anyone or anything else in the same way that they will do anything to be sure they aren’t helpless next time. They’re the same. The differences are that Elena is more altruistic than Esteban, who cares more about His people than about people In General (ie, Elena is more good-aligned vs Esteban is more neutral-aligned, tho I think there’s a decent case to be made that Esteban straddles the border a bit) and the narrative rewards her for that, and that Elena… trusts the right people. She trusts people who do ultimately have her back, and who will tell her when she’s trying to do too much on her own, and who ultimately have her best interests at heart. Esteban… It’s Complicated. Bc it’s not that he has no community or support, but it’s this sort of vicious cycle of 1) he doesn’t have very many people in his support circle and some of the people he does have are shitty friends (hi Victor), 2) he’s very bad at ceding control and trusting other people to tell him when he’s wrong, which yes is a flaw he needs to work on, but it’s also partially bc 3) a lot of his support circle is also very bad at treating his concerns and issues seriously (I’m going to get pissed about dia de las madres again, which I know is kind of unfair but also. Bite me.) and this got him orphaned in the past. So he ends up in this place where he’d rather shake hands with the devil because at least then he knows the terms of the deal. This consistently goes terribly for him, bc none of his devils are actually obligated to play fair and he is frequently tricked out of whatever concessions he thought he had gained, but how he got here makes sense. How he got here is worthy of sympathy. He is easily manipulated by people who pretend to listen to him, but that’s necessarily only the case because he spends a lot of time feeling like no one cares about listening to him. He spends a lot of time caring deeply about people who he knows love him but he feels like don’t trust him. He wants, desperately, to save them from an optimism that is warranted for them because they’re the protagonists, but was never rewarded for him.
WOW. I'm absolutely blown away!! 🤩 This was a commission I requested from @cutetanuki-chan for a scene from a current fanfic I'm working on. I love this so much! The colors, the expressions, it's so beautiful. ✨ So the story is about Naomi and Esteban accidentally sailing away on an adventure and finding out how much they really have in common. The current and former chancellor of Avalor, bonding over their love for sailing. The dynamic between these two is undeniable and I love seeing them bicker 😂 But I love when they find common ground as well. The story is called "Where the Tides Meet". When it's finished, in the next month or so, it'll be on Ao3 and fanfic.net!! (see re-blogged link for a snippet of the story!)
Here's a snippet from my fic: Where the Tides Meet: ✨
They lay side by side in silence for a moment and the atmosphere settled from tense to comfortable as they watched the few clouds above them float along the dark sky. Naomi sighed lightly, enjoying the benefits of being out in the middle of the ocean. There was a cool breeze coming from over the railings and it softly pushed their ship through the rippling waters.
“It’s nice out tonight.” Naomi said, tracing the stars in the sky with her eyes, recognizing several constellations. Ones that she had become familiar with over her years as a sailor.
“Indeed.” Esteban said as he gazed at the sky as well. Naomi briefly wondered how knowledgeable he was with constellations and made a mental note to ask him about it sometime. “The stars shine brighter than I believe I have ever seen them.”
Naomi hummed in agreement. “You don’t really get to see the stars this vividly from the castle. I miss them. I- well, I’ve missed everything about sailing.”
“This makes sense.” He said, lifting a hand toward her. “You have been raised on the water and, at least since you took the job as chancellor, you’ve been preoccupied with quite a lot more than I am sure you were down at the port.”
Naomi groaned lightly, rubbing her hands over her eyes.
“You have no idea.” She looked over at Esteban and he turned to her, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
“Well,” she admitted. “Maybe you do know, but it’s not just that. You aren’t familiar with the sea like I am. You never got to breathe in the salt air every moment of the day. To feel the waves splash against your skin and hear them break against the bow. It’s just-”
She took a breath of the salt air around her and smiled.
“Freeing.” Esteban finished for her.
Naomi looked over at him in surprise.
“You do not think you are the only one who likes to be out on the open ocean, do you? Why do you think I agreed to join you on this journey?”
Naomi scoffed. “Because you had no choice.”
“Well, perhaps.” He said, laughing lightly. “But I also wanted to. Not initially, I suppose. It is not just the traveling I enjoy. It is the freeing feeling of the open ocean. Of not seeing even a glimpse of the shore in any direction and knowing all that surrounds me is open water.”
Naomi swallowed, a little surprised to hear him speak so similarly of the same things she loved. How he spoke of the sea and the waves. It was almost as if he could see into her heart's desires and speak them out loud.
She flushed lightly as he continued.
“I suppose you could say I have a longing for the sea. Standing on the deck of this ship, even before it had left port, I just longed for something-” Esteban flitted his hand around in a circular motion, trying to come up with the right word.
“Something more.” He finished. “Since being off the council and out of a job, there really has not been anything I can do to stay useful and I am afraid that perhaps my usefulness has reached its end.”
She scoffed. “I highly doubt you’ve become useless.”
He looked over at her defensively. “I have nothing to really drive my life. I am unable to be useful to anyone and with nothing useful to do, there is nothing for me to strive for anymore.”
Naomi just shook her head at his naivety. “But, usefulness to others doesn't equate to worth, Esteban.”
“What?”
Naomi turned and propped herself up on her arm a bit to face him. “Just because you’re not doing something for someone or living your life serving someone doesn’t mean your life is over. Have you never been your own man before?”
Esteban flushed.
“Guess not.” She said softly. She cleared her throat and diverted the subject slightly. “Well, did I ever tell you why I left the council years ago?”
“N-no,” he said slowly. “I knew you had but not the reason for it.”
Naomi laid on her back again and put her hands behind her head. “I wanted to live my life. I wanted to see the woman I could become if I were to be the one in control of it. Be my own captain. And, for a while, it was nice.”
“But?” Esteban prodded.
“But,” she said, continuing. “It was a bit lonely. I missed Avalor. I missed my friends. I missed who I was around them.”
Esteban nodded slightly and frowned. “Yet, here you are, leaving home again.”
Naomi sighed. “As much as I missed my friends before, I missed sailing too. Sailing has just been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s almost all I’ve ever known. That’s why-”
She hesitated but Naomi realized there was no reason to hide her insecurities from Esteban. He had seen her at her worst, they had butted heads for years, had been arguing that very same day, and yet here he was, sailing across the sea with her. With a startling realization, she found that she very much trusted him. At least with her thoughts of travel since, surprisingly, he seemed to be on the same page as her.
Esteban had shared his troubled thoughts with her. The least she could do was return the favor.
“That’s why,” she said finally, “I wanted to go on this trip in the first place. It’s why I wanted to go somewhere other than on a diplomatic mission and yet still be serving my kingdom.” Naomi lifted one of her hands above her, gesturing to the open sea around them. “I’ve felt so cooped up living in the castle, serving under Elena.”
Naomi looked over at Esteban and shook her head. “Don’t get me wrong. I love Elena. I love Avalor. I love serving my kingdom in any way possible. I just-” Naomi swallowed nervously. “I’m just a sailor at heart, I guess. The sea, the open sky- I wish I could combine my love for my kingdom and my love for sailing.”
Esteban was silent for a moment, contemplating her words. He fiddled with his hands on his chest and shrugged slightly.
“Is this not what you are doing now?”
Naomi furrowed her eyebrows. “What do you mean?”
Esteban turned to look at her.
“Are you not sailing out towards Brazendell and Napurna for our kingdom? To represent Avalor in place of Elena while also riding the waves across the vast sea between their lands?”
Naomi took a breath to retaliate but hesitated.
She had certainly taken the trip as a chance to stretch her sailing muscles a bit and really enjoy her time on the sea, but it had been more like a guilty pleasure than anything. Something she was able to get away with doing while also completing what was needed for Avalor. She had never seen the pleasure part of her trip as something that was anything more than a distraction from her duties.
Or something that might be possible even after returning to Avalor. To go sailing on trips frequently.
Naomi looked at Esteban with wide eyes.
“I guess,” she said hesitantly, “I guess you’re right.”
“As I am, often.” He said with a smile that could be vaguely considered as smug.
Naomi gave him a deadpan expression and rolled her eyes.
“I just-” She started, trying to wrap her brain around something so exciting. “An opportunity to push myself past the mundane life in the castle and into something more than just papercuts and long nights of studying never really presented itself.”
Esteban slowly started to smile, his expression filling up with a spark of life she had never seen from him before.
“Well, it has presented itself now.” He said, holding a hand out. “You may be a working woman with duties to your kingdom but that should not stop you from the exploration you so seek. Let us find a maruvian temple along the way. An uncharted island.”
He sat up suddenly, leaning on his elbow and looking down at her with bright eyes that shone in the moonlight. Esteban began to flush as he continued, completely caught in the passion of the moment. His eyes were so full and dazzling, Naomi felt like she was being swept away by the passion of his words.
“We shall see kingdoms and lands from afar. Eat foods from across the world. Cross the 17 seas to sail our way around the everrealm.”
He turned to look across the horizon, spouting out every dream he had ever wanted for himself, dragging her along into his fantasy, and she could see he was losing himself in that familiar freeing feeling that sailing created. Something that took hold of her each time she stepped on the deck of a ship.
“Let us catch those waves and find ourselves an adventure, Naomi! Sail, until there is no more sun to follow.”
If she hadn’t been so taken aback by his passionate tone, she would have pointed out that he had finally called her by her first name. Esteban was quite a formal man and had always addressed her as ‘Miss Turner’ or ‘Chancellor Turner’ and now by ‘Captain’. But very rarely had he ever called her by her first name.
She found it refreshing to see him so informal with her.
Naomi had never heard anyone talk so deeply about their aspirations, let alone Esteban, and had certainly never seen him so full of life. His longing for the sea continuously shocked her, mostly because it aligned so perfectly with her own passions. The most surprising part was that she was actually pleased it was Esteban who shared the same dreams as her.
He spoke so eloquently of the world, like it was something precious to treasure each day and it seemed he was just now realizing he wanted to live each day soaking up as much as he could. The surge of passion driving him to finally do something different with his life was something she suspected he had never had before.
It was a stark comparison to the dreary way he had been talking about himself just moments before. But it was exactly what Naomi wanted to do and how she wanted to live her life.
Naomi looked up at him with wide eyes, very surprised with his outburst. Pleasantly surprised. Again, she felt herself drawn into his passion, like she had been when she had offered him the chance to join her, wanting to explore the world with him.
Esteban looked over at her with a wide smile as she lay on the deck, the grey above his ears glowing silvery in the moonlight against the dark waves of his hair. He looked like a vision from a dream and Naomi could do nothing but stare up at him as he leaned over her.
His smile quickly dropped as he realized how insistent he had become.
Esteban sat up straight with a light flush and fiddled with his hands in his lap, turning from her and drawing into himself a bit.
“I apologize.” He said softly. “I do not know what came over me. I did not mean to be presumptuous. You obviously do not have to do anything you do not wish.” He cleared his throat awkwardly. “I tend to get a little overzealous at times and most people do not know how to respond.”
“N-no.” Naomi said, rushing to sit up and turn to him. “That’s all I’ve ever dreamt about. To sail across the horizon, to find untouched lands. I just- I’d never thought of being able to have that while still having my job as chancellor.”
Esteban turned to look at her as she continued. As she spoke, she crawled toward him and sat back on her knees to look over at his guarded form.
“And it's only a little surprising to hear you want the same things.” She said with a shrug. “But you've been open with me, you’re passionate, and so full of life. I like seeing this side of you.”
As she spoke, she reached for him earnestly, not wanting him to run from his passion for sailing that he had clearly harbored most of his life, and she rested a hand on his arm for a moment. Naomi hadn’t been thinking when she had reached for him and only remembered when it was too late that Esteban normally didn’t allow anyone to touch him.
He looked down at the soft hand on his arm and back up to her face. Instead of brushing her off or moving away, Esteban flushed a deeper crimson.
Naomi quickly let go and brushed her hair behind her ear awkwardly, the gentle contact and sentiment making her chest feel oddly tight and fluttery all at the same time.
“And I'd like that.” She continued with a smile as if him allowing her to simply put her hand on him hadn’t sparked a bubbling hope in her chest. A step forward in their strange relationship that was now beginning to resemble friendship.
“To go on an adventure with you.” She said lightly. “To sail the seas and explore new places. I just wonder why I haven't seen this side of you before.”
“Well,” he said, clearing his throat. “I thank you for thinking of me in such a light. As you have suggested, I have never really had a chance in life to simply… live. To be my own person.” Esteban moved to lean back on his palm and looked toward the sky. “So, traveling, on the open ocean, with no rules or people to impress, it is… nice.” He chuckled lightly to himself. “It is more than nice. It truly is freeing.”
He turned to look at her and his smile was so soft that he seemed to be glowing brighter than the moonlight.
“Yeah,” she said, looking down at her hands. She let out a small chuckle and looked back up at him. “I might technically be out here for diplomatic reasons, but what you suggested- that’s exactly what I wanted, too. To sail the seas at my own leisure.” She leaned to push her elbow against his lightly. “And maybe the company isn’t so bad either.”
Esteban chuckled lightly but nodded to her, turning to look up at the stars again.
WOW. I'm absolutely blown away!! 🤩 This was a commission I requested from @cutetanuki-chan for a scene from a current fanfic I'm working on. I love this so much!

What do you mean it's been confirmed Elena's (eventually) getting a cameo in Sofia the First: Royal magic? What do you mean I get to see my queen again after like 6 years??
Like yeah, it's gonna be in the new animation, so it'll probably feel off at first. And timeline-wise it's probably gonna take place during EOA, since Sofia's still younger than she was in the EOA finale, so Elena's technically still a princess... BUT STILL!!
At this point I will do anything to see Elena again!
Why am I just hearing about this??? This is huge!!
Just a cute fan video of my favorite dorks 🥰 Wait... I also just realized most of these are Bi Icons... That makes so much sense 😂
Esteban for the character ask! :)
What I love: The way he desperately loves his family. I also actually love his…arrogance? Confidence? He’s so over-the-top with his confidence its pretty comical at times.
What I don’t: Well…I’m not a fan of the fact that he’s currently lying to his family. But I’m fairly certain that is going to change at some point before his story ends.
Best Episode: Well, up until a few weeks ago I would have said “King of the Carnaval” but now its “Snow Place Like Home” hands down.
Favorite Quote: “Everyone deserves the chance to atone for past mistakes”
Favorite Outfit: I kinda like his adventure outfit best!
OTP: Naomi either in a younger!Esteban AU or in the future as a platonic life partner sort of thing.
BrOTP: Naomi
Headcanon: Esteban is a huge sports fan. It is actually his doing that professional sports flourished during the Shuriki years. He follows everything: olaball, fencing, pro ballroom dancing. The only reason he wasn’t at the fencing tournament in “Princess Knight” was because he was visiting Norburg on royal business.
Unpopular Opinion: I think this is only unpopular with a small segment of the fandom but I believe that he is going to find full redemption and forgiveness. I honestly believe there is more to his story than “idiot teenager desires power the easy way”. Even impulsive teen Esteban would never sell his family over to a death sentence.
My wish for him: Find peace and personal redemption. Also that his family will forgive him when the time comes. Let Esteban be happy!
Oh-god-please-don’t-let-this-happen-to-them: Don’t let his family reject him!
5 words to best describe him: Dramatic, arrogant, confident, dutiful, smooth
oh awesome !!😊 I can’t wait to see the episode where his lie is finally unveiled. I’m sure this will deliver him once and for all and then his family will forgive him. I also really want to discover the real reason for his pact with Shuriki…
Esteban is simply the best. The fact that he was able to finally learn from his mistakes and have his family forgive him- Words can't express how much I love this man. He deserves every happiness.
I really love that Megamind only ever calls Roxanne by her name and doesn’t use nicknames like “Roxy”. Metro Man and Hal both did that and it always felt presumptuous to me. Megamind’s usage of her name is much more natural sounding and feels respectful and meaningful.
This has been widespread in fanon for so long that when he called her Roxy (in whichever of the 2024 extensions to canon it was), I felt kind of shocked.
Then there was a fanfic in which she invited him to call her Roxy after he turned good because she considered him a friend now. This makes sense to me. It would have been presumptuous when the relationship between them was villain and damsel, but once they became friends, he could be less formal with her.
Vigorous nodding! "Respectful and meaningful" feels like a good way to put it. Megamind calling her Roxy in the spinoff made me do a big double-take, lol, and I've been thinking about it a lot since then.
The question of presumption is interesting, because canonically, Roxanne is on good terms with both Metro Man and Hal for at least the first half of the film. We, the audience, are able to safely assume from jump that neither Metro Man nor Hal take her seriously, so "Roxy/Roxie" does feel super presumptuous to us - demeaning, even. The bonehead and asshole of the film call her Roxanne & Roxie, while the two characters who actually respect her as a person ONLY call her Roxanne or Miss Ritchi, so it really does feel more respectful to call her Roxanne. But we know the bonehead and asshole of the film are the bonehead and asshole LONG before Roxanne does. Roxanne herself doesn't actually appear to mind it, as far as I've been able to tell. (I've looked!)
From Megamind and Minion, she's Miss Ritchi to her face and Roxanne behind her back until Megamind shows up at her door asking for help. Even just "Roxanne" feels like it might be overly-familiar at that point, considering it's possible he only started calling her that during his time as Bernard! But thinking about it more recently and looking at what we know about Roxanne, looking at her apparent comfort with the nickname from two people she was comfortable with at one time...I don't see why Megamind couldn't use "Roxie" for her after the film. Especially if the names he uses for her reflect his understanding of her comfort level with him, which is a possibility that feels really sweet to me. Really, the main question is, would he, and I think the answer to that could honestly go either way depending on your individual interpretation of his character!
It's been fifteen years and there is still so much to talk about with this film, gaghlakhglghlhghghhh i love it.
I'M SORRY DISNEY WHAT IS THIS 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Okay but how INSANE is this. They've been official partners for a week. Their first undercover mission they decide to pull a fake marriage AU but instead of being awkward about it they go ALL out with no hesitation. Which one of them came up with this idea? Which one of them said "ey let's nose nuzzle that'll be more realistic!" Did they rehearse all of this ahead of time? Was Finnick just uncomfortably third-wheeling during the rehearsals while dressed up as their baby? Did they try different versions of the undercover act before settling on this? Was it just an excuse to cuddle up while having plausible deniability for acting too cozy with each other? Did the filmmakers watch The X-Files and see the ridiculous amount of "platonic" and "professional" interactions between Mulder and Scully and go "yeah let's do that but with animals" LIKE HOW IS THIS REAL 🤣
Gonna stream in a minute!! Come say hi or just to watch! I'll be playing Palworld and going through the new Home Sweet Home Update goodies. ♥ twitch.tv/fallingpixie
the fact that nick and judy are constantly viewed as a romantic couple in zootopia 2 but almost deliberately do not discuss this is such a delicious detail, especially since they’ve managed to so therapeutically confess so many other important things…
many of these moments are caused by their own doing too. we have the undercover scene, where nick convinces judy to dress up as a family with a baby—when the customs inspector spots them, he mainly observes and commentates on nick and judy being in a relationship. but it gets brushed over by nick himself, who says, “yes, but proud parents first.” FIRST. like. he is bringing attention to the whole cute baby aspect of the hustle. he’s USED to running the cute dad and a baby hustle. it’s what comes to mind when he needs a good swindle. but… in bringing judy into the fold, their relationship then moves to the forefront, examined in the limelight. which i think is slightly hard for nick to think about, because he did not suggest to judy that they go undercover as parents because he wanted an excuse to hold her hand and play mommy and daddy
rather, he suggested it because it always works for him. but that’s the keyword. HIM. their partnership hits a slight snag because they keep trying to do things their own way, just together. and it keeps convincing people that their quarrels must be lovers’ spats, that their milestones together are that of a relationship, headed the way of marriage
and it’s uncomfortable. it’s so uncomfortable, because he isn’t trying to give off that impression at all. because he wants her, but that desire is something he’s keeping under wraps—so the fact that they keep getting observed and clocked in such a way is… stifling. so he keeps quiet about it, pinches his annoyance behind pursed lips. but he’s not the only one who’s causing these ‘misunderstandings’ about their relationship status
judy, who loves so loudly and wholeheartedly, with so much excitement that unleashes from her in big taps and unpulled punches, is not helping matters in the slightest. from her incessant declarations of their one WEEK anniversary, to how it gets mistaken for a couple on holiday, and them having to sit under romantic lighting and soothing tunes—she certainly isn’t HELPING their perception
and she sees what it does to nick. his quiet irritation. and so she lets that get to her. and it makes her suppress a certain discomfort about the matter. because neither of them talk about the idea of them being a couple. it’s not something they laugh off or dismiss. it just gets very… sullen. fearful. avoidant. (also, after marsh market, judy stops bringing their anniversary up)
a lot of the tension between nick and judy stems from them struggling to go from a me to a we, their unspoken struggles, and their inability to properly communicate
but… not all of their tension has gone spoken. and despite how happy they are to be together as a better team and well-connected partners against crime—their silent neglect of some other aspects of their love for each other will come back to bite them in the ass sooner or later
“Where is she?”
“She…she didn’t make it.”
Is actually so chilling. Everything Pawbert says to Nick is deeply terrifying.
“But with snake bites you…go fast. You’ll see.”
“She’s gone Nick, just get it over with.”
“You’re done. Know when to quit.”
And finally,
“Leave it! You’re gonna kill us both. It’s not worth dying for.”
The ONLY thing Nick does through this narration is fight. The ONLY words he says are “Where is she?” “JUDY!” and “Agree to disagree.” That is the entirety of everything Nick had to say to Pawbert. At no point does he try to converse, talk him out of anything, question, trick, bargain, rationalize, nothing. And all Pawbert knows Nick as is That Fox Whose Entire Reason For Living Is Judy Hopps.
It’s chilling because Pawbert knows that telling Nick that Judy is dead is going to destroy him, and he believes that it’s enough to let him cave and give into death entirely. He sincerely believes that Nick’s entire purpose for self-preservation is to keep Judy alive and if she’s gone, he might as well be, too. And he’s not even entirely wrong. Pawbert’s final plea, the complete 180° turn, “it’s not worth dying for,” isn’t “keeping her alive isn’t worth dying for,” it’s “YOU CANNOT SAVE HER, STOP FIGHTING, YOU HAVE NO REASON TO LIVE, SHE IS DEAD.”
But Nick saw her lifeless body. He heard she was dead and he SAW she was gone. And all he could think was, “If there’s even a fraction of a chance she’ll be okay, I can die knowing I did everything I possibly could to protect her.” The pure desperation in his eyes as he fights for that pen, not even sure if it’ll work, but fighting to do EVERYTHING he POSSIBLY can to save her. Even if he’s already SEEN that she’s dead. Which he has.
And then suddenly he’s looking her in the eyes and crying.
The slow-mo and pacing make it hard to grasp how fast it all happened, but he saw her, DEAD, and within sixty seconds he thought he was dead too, and then suddenly he was staring her in the eyes and panting. And all he could hear in his head was
“She didn’t make it.”
“She’s gone, Nick.”
“Know when to quit.”
But she’s right there. Alive.
“It’s not worth dying for.”
As a matter of fact, she is.

fanfiction is a rare gem and a solid, living proof that, in a world of tiktok, influencers and content posting, not everything is about money and going viral. art can still be art just for the sake of the artists’ pure love, joy and passion for the art they create. fanfic writers write 100k words and more about the characters they love for free. just because they love these characters and the art of writing so much. art is not dead and the world is still beautiful.
shoutout to fanfiction and fanfic writers
Thank you for this post. My mother constantly asks why I write for free when I should be publishing a book. I write because I LOVE it. I don't need to make money from it. I do it for myself and if others also love it too, that's even better. 🥰
