The doctor and martha drive me insane because Donna actually told him to "find someone" and "sometimes I think you need someone to stop you" and then IMMEDIATELY he finds martha. And it's not like four and Leela, where after leaving Sarah he was content to ignore his loneliness post The Hand of Fear until Leela practically friend-trapped him in his own TARDIS, no, the Doctor WANTED Martha to be his companion, he actively gets her alone and tests her intelligence and thinks yes, she's the one. He doesn't even properly invite her after the Judoon leave, he comes back for her later that night. That's not him having a moment of excitement after an adventure, that was calculated

thing about martha is that she was always that girl. the doctor just made her doubt herself. until she remembered and was like oh yeah! i'm THAT girl!

no amount of budgeting will make up for the fact that we simply do not make enough money

hate job hunting because i have to pretend to be "excited about a new challenge" and "interested in your business culture" when i just need the money to pay rent and buy groceries

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please reblog.

Friendly reminder - looking at you White women and girls - to take a step back and LISTEN if WOC are telling you your favs behavior is harmful to us. You're not a true feminist if our struggles are meaningless to you because you can’t understand how harmful those behaviors are to our existence

Why does it look exactly the same as the one at my work.

Do we all just have the same brand?

I don’t know how to explain this but when I think of winter Thranduil immediately comes to mind. Yes, snow and cold weather too but amidst the rush of those thoughts he’s also there too. Something about his features just aligns with that season

#thranduil #lee pace #wintercore #winter #winter thoughts #character matching a season #i don’t know how to tag this #neither do I know how to explain this #character-season core?

I’ve been interacting with new fanfic writers and also been seeing some folks share the fact that they care about hits, bookmarks, and comments on their work as if they’re embarrassed by that fact.

I’m just here to say you shouldn’t ever ever ever feel that way.

Writing, in this case fanfiction writing, can be a very lonely journey at times. If you’re brave enough to post online, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to receive validation. Because when you don’t, I think that’s the equivalent of playing or singing a song and nobody claps once you’re done. Imagine the Olympics or local sports arena or little league game with empty stands. Not a single soul cheering at the end of a concert. Nobody shows up to the art gallery. Nobody eats the baked goods you made with love at the party. All of those scenarios undoubtedly hurt.

Yes, you did it for yourself. Because you love this passion of yours. Because you’re working on your skills. Because you’re proving something to yourself.

But there’s a reason so many of humanity’s passions happen in front of a crowd.

Art is meant to be seen, music is meant to be heard, and yes, fanfiction is meant to be read.

We all want to know our art made an echo.

And yes, we all want to know somebody clapped for us. It validates us, it encourages us, it motivates us to keep going when we’re burnt out. It’s also just plain fun. All of these apply to world class musicians or athletes. For fan fiction writers, the audience cheering is as simple as a hit or a comment. It’s someone engaging with our work in a positive manner. So if you’re feeling that way and you feel bad about it—remember you’re human. And your passion and hobby is just as worthy of receiving audience reception as anybody else.

Fanfiction is a communal space, not just a solitary act. Give love back. Engage wherever and whenever you can. Open yourself to viewing this as a two way dialogue with other writers and readers. Give yourself grace and compassion when you’re disappointed. And when it’s your turn—don’t forget to clap.

Me: I wonder how many works this fandom has on AO3

Me emerging from the depths: what day is it?

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
