If you don't like Tom Hardy or Dylan O'Brien, too bad. They are my loves and about 85% of my posts. :D I will post anything that makes me laugh, smile, think, and go OMG!

it’s not weird to find fanfiction from 2021, or 2017, or 2014 that you’ve never read and actually taking your time to read it.

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

read fanfiction! write fanfiction! comment on fanfiction! let’s not let fanculture die people!!!!!

Not only is it not weird, it is ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED. Authors LOVE IT when people do this!!! Its not "weird" and its not "neutral" -- its a fucking DELIGHT. Feel very absolutely free to read though an author's entire back catalogue, leaving kudos and/or comments along the way; we absolutely freaking love when someone does this. There is nothing more joyful than getting a comment notification for an old fic. It will make our day, I promise.

Ah yes, Wuthering Heights, the "greatest love story of all time" where [checks notes] an orphaned boy endures so much abuse, ostracisation and bigotry that his hatred overcomes him and he enacts cruel revenge on multiple generations of his own family, in the aftermath of getting rejected by the girl he trauma-bonded with during childhood and whose premature death so deranges him that he digs up her corpse multiple times, stewing in loathing, misanthropy and alienation that eventually drive him so mad that he starves himself to death.

That love story?

In the Heated Rivalry series, Shane says he has been with two (?) other men before and I suuuuper want to read a fanfic exploration of those relationships!! Why did Shane finally cave and hook up with other men?? what was his headspace like? was he comparing these men to Ilya? was he a nervous f*cking wreck??

and in a similar vein, I so badly want to read more headcannons about Shane and Rose. What was their relationship like? we know the sex was bad but HOW? and what was poor Shane thinking as he struggled to have sex with Rose? a woman he was trying sooooo hard to convince himself he was sexually attracted to.

I think these other relationships and their dynamics and developments are soooo important for Shane's growth and self discovery. I need more fanfic about these topics!!

Ya'll, when the hell did Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie have the TIME to record an erotic audio book??? These boys have been so gd busy, I am low key overwhelmed by their schedules!

Seriously, when was this recorded?

[berryunhinged98]

I love how a lot of actors are so cautious about being typecast, especially at the beginning of their careers, meanwhile Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are like “yes we would love to do another explicit gay erotica project together we know what we’re about”

Shane’s comfort is his home and his family. When he wants to open up to Ilya, he asks him about his parents and about Russia. Which only causes Ilya to shut down. Ilya has always understood his sexuality and is comfortable with that part of himself. In episode 4, Ilya kept trying to talk to Shane about sex and sexuality. Shane’s sexuality is still something he’s suppressing and doesn’t want to reckon with right now.

The reason Shane and Ilya have such a hard time communicating is that their safe space is the other person’s trigger.

Going back to the ‘I fuck women’ conversation, a few thoughts:

- ilya is coming out to Shane as bisexual, officially. I don’t believe it’s something they’d ever discussed beforehand.

-ilya is also testing the waters and trying to figure out whether Shane was gay or bi or whatever and how likely he’d be to just pack things up and find a girlfriend or a wife or whatever

- he basically confirms that he wants to be exclusive, in an EXTREMELY emotionally stunted obtuse way. He says to Shane that he could find someone new to fuck, but then he looks at him with so much love in his eyes before saying ‘but I’m lazy, so’- meaning that he’s happy with just Shane, their dynamic works for him. He says it so carefully so as not to spook Shane like the fucking skittish racehorse he is 🤡

Okay, I need someone to tell me more about the t.A. T. u. song "All the Things She Said" used in the final scene!! I know the basics of its history and have gleamed the switch in singers is a majorly significant change and statement. but like, the song is over 20 years old yet everyone seems to be familiar with it?? Is this a popular club song?? why does everyone seem to know it?? I want the discourse!
