[gatheringbones]

I love your agreeable and amenable and flexible nature and how none of your wants and needs ever get priority and how nobody even knows what they are to begin with and how you never start or engage in conflicts and never express even mildly unsavory opinions and get along with everyone from every conceivable group, that’s so trustworthy. hey quick question. do you happen to have an enormous pressurized reservoir of rage and resentment you feel like you can’t ever analyze or express because that would break the rules for the kind of person you are and if so, do you think a lifetime of squashing it down might ever backfire?

[tiktaalic]

Just rememberized that. Shane wanted to be friends with himmmmmm he went up to Ilya and said hi I’m Shane I found you on purpose do you want to make small talk with me :) you’re really good at hockey you’re impressive do you want to talk about the weather :). Because. He wanted to be friends

[tiktaalic]

I got an anon awhile back that was like Hayden is Shane’s best friend bc Shane hasn’t realized he can have preferences and make choices so when Hayden is like we’re gonna be friends Shane is like yeah okay. Which I agree with and is mostly true. But. Shane DID pick a best friend he went up to Ilya and was like hi do you want to hang out and talk :) for fun :) left to his own devices and free reign that IS who he picks. There was just a bunch of other bullshit that had to get in the way first. Before they could be best friends. And I feel like I’m not articulating this well but it’s soooo. Crazy that Ilya is one of the choices he actively makes in a life of not choosing things.

never be good at your job. it's a trap. they'll just give you more and harder stuff to do and it'll pull you away from your true passion of writing gay fanfiction for people on the internet

One thing about the Hollander men; if you hit them with a social situation they don't know how to react to, they will straight up leave ✌️

call that the Hollander Goodbye

[penandinkprincess]

thoughts and prayers to ilya, who is marrying into a family of flight risks 🙏

[sweetshirebones]

Ilya, some indeterminate time in the future, chasing after their toddler whose instinct is to do a runner the moment everyone starts standing too long, thus perfecting the Hollander Goodbye early: wow…genetic

[penandinkprincess]

ilya who is consistently the first one to find their child after they make a run for it because he has had to develop the survival skill of "if i were a hollander, where would i elope to?" over the years in order to find where the FUCK his family is after they just vanished

[penandinkprincess]

Help I can't breathe

@darlingofdots:

#one time they’re all sitting at dinner together #and ilya tries to very carefully bring up the topic of 'we want kids but i think i want to retire first so what's our timeline on that' #and all three hollanders get up and leave. #ilya sitting by himself at the hollanders' dining table with shane's baby photos on the walls like #this is YOUR house

planning my fic in a normal way. 1) what incredibly indulgent scene do I want to write next? 2) what connective tissue do I have to set up between indulgent scenes to get us there?

[kinasecrystal]

I wish more ao3 users made their bookmarks public. Or maybe a lot of users don’t use bookmarks at all? Hard to tell. It used to be a great way to find new authors - go through the comments or even kudos of fics I liked, check out those users’ bookmarks. But I’m noticing a trend that a lot of people don’t have any public bookmarks anymore.

So I’m doing a poll. Please reblog for reach!

Do you use bookmarks on AO3?

Yes, and they are mostly public

Yes, but mostly or entirely private

No, I don’t use that feature

Voting ended onApr 12

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

[damianmcgintleman]

he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!

[equalistmako]

you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too 

[prokopetz]

Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.

My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.

[snickerslizard]

Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?

[prokopetz]

Yes.

DAMN IT WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS BACK YOU HEATHEN

[logan-exe]

Why is this on my dash?

[princeanxious]

…..I’m.. Bothered? by the fact that I’m not bothered by this.

[randomslasher]

You’re not bothered?? I’m not only not bothered, I’m freaking invested. I’m having actual empathetic sadness for The Grinch. I want them to go into couple’s counseling. I want the “ten years later” when Tony visits Whoville on business and meets the reformed Grinch whose heart has grown 3 times its usual size. I want them to reminisce over a shared dinner of roast beast and wine, then spend a drunken night together, then realize that maybe things are different and people really do change. I want a 3-act story where there’s a long dark night of soul searching and the realization that maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance. 

[chooseyourmusehasmoved]

“maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance” is an incredibly profound quote and I did NOT expect to get it from a Grinch x Tony the Tiger post

[none-of-your-biscuits]

every fucking year i have to see this on my dash please just let me fucking r e s t

It’s that time again.

Babygirl I know fandom history that you wouldn’t even care about

[trashcanniballecter]

Shane: I was the one to make the first move

Ilya: that's not true! I did! In the shower!

Shane: I introduced myself to you at world juniors!

Ilya: that wasn't a move! That was normal introduction!

Shane: Ilya, baby, when have you ever known me to initiate a social interaction with a stranger?

Ilya: . . . Holy shit

[heydoeydoey]

my ao3 stats page is a fascinating place right now with my heated rivalry fics racking up hits. ya girl usually writes for rarepairs and small fandoms, but all the stars aligned (which has been posted for barely a month at this point) is gaining on or surpassing a sudden simple twist of fate (which is TWELVE YEARS OLD) in all the different metrics. a sudden simple twist of fate has been the statistical outlier among my fics pretty much since i posted it, but hollanov is coming for sterek's neck among my ~popular~ ships i guess
