This is so, so important you guys.

I’ve read fanfiction better than some novels or movies that are made. Sometimes, even if it is a dedication to an already established IP we love, our creativity can produce something transformative. We’re expanding an audience, creating our own worlds, and building stories we need but aren’t seeing in what’s put out there.

Google Docs is my beloved problematic fave. It allows me to write on my phone whenever my ADHD brain desires and then have it auto synced to desktop anytime I want/need to write in a more official capacity

My favorite thing about Tangled: The Series is that they looked at Eugene and went "Okay, this guy's been a career criminal most of his life let's do something with that." Also that he's goofy and self centered like in the movie but also actually competent. In the movie his bragging all feels a bit like posturing but the show went "No, he was actually that good."

Current fav tlou head cannon;

Ellie being on the road with only Joel (a man from Texas who managed to keep his southern accent for two decades) for so long, literally her only company, she adapts his accent for certain things and forgets how they're pronounced to non southerners.

Based off the fact I experience echolalia with my step-dad who has a southern accent himself.

It wouldn't be major, just some "ain't"s and drawls on certain vowels, sometimes losing syllables and mushing her sentences together.

She doesn't realise until Dina calls her "Texas" jokingly and she's then hyper aware of it. She speaks and will notice afterwards that she pronounced something like Joel, and repronounces it.

"I ain't doing it-...I am not doing it."

this gives such strong father-daughter energy.

ellie’s question is like a kid asking their parent to push them on the swing, or give them a piggyback ride.

and joel’s response is as if they’ve known each other for years, and not just two years like they have. it’s just such a dad response. he’s answering it as if he’s watched her grow up (which he kinda has for a while now), but like for much longer than two years.

“oh, i’m too old for that now. i can’t give ya’ rides like i used to when you were a kid” and they’ve literally known each other for only a couple years by this point.

i’ve literally had interactions like this with my parents. “remember when you and i used to do this…?” and they’ll be like “yeah, but i’m definitely too old and you’re too big for that now” in a reminiscent sort of way.

joel is dad. and don’t even get me started on the “kiddo”
