Armand recreating Amadeo in the penthouse

The dynamic of Cassie and Rachel is making me insane. What if someone was your conscience but also you resented them for making you feel like you were a bloodthirsty monster? What if your friend had the courage to do what you couldn't but made you feel weak and stupid for sticking to your morals? What if you went shopping at the mall together about it?

Rachel faked her death to avoid being tried as a war criminal after she specifically said ‘no more of this geneva convention bs’

Small Fandom Summer 2026!

For the fourth year in a row now, it's time for Small Fandom Summer! Join me for Small Fandom Summer! It's real easy to play:

Make a fanwork for something that has fewer than 1000 English-language works on AO3

Post it to AO3

And then you've done it! You've made a thing and you've diversified the fandom ecosystem! You're basically a hero.

Q: The fandom I want to create for has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but the specific pairing I want to write for has fewer than that. Does that count? A: Yes! Q: What if it has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but, like, just barely? A: Okay! Q: What if it actually has a lot more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but it still feels small? A: Sure! Q: What if I don't want to post it to AO3? What if I don't even have an AO3 account? Can I post it somewhere else? A: Wherever! Q: What if-- A: Just do a thing, friend. Make a thing. Share the thing. This is not meant to be restrictive; this is meant to be inspirational. Create the fanworks you want to see in the world. Make a stranger happy by appealing to their niche interests. Bring joy.

And if you want to give yourself some silly little Steam-like achievement badges to commemorate your accomplishments, well, you're in luck! I've made a bunch of them right here! You can grab the ones that apply to your work and paste them wherever you like and feel good about what you've done. Here's a few of my favorites:

So you see? This is meant to be silly and fun.

There's nowhere to sign up. There's nothing to commit to. There's zero pressure. You just do it if you do it, and don't if you don't. But if you do want to play (yay!), tag your stuff with #small fandom summer so we can all swoop in and appreciate everyone else's efforts.

Here's to creativity!

[welcometothejianghu]

Since some people have asked: There's now a Small Fandom Summer 2026 AO3 Collection! You can post your stuff right here! It's completely open and unmoderated, so if you think something goes there, well, go on and add it! Hopefully by the end of the summer, we'll have a nice little collection of stuff there.

And since some other people have asked: There's no start date for this, nor is this an end date. "Summer" in this context is an extremely arbitrary unit of measurement. I'm starting now because my personal summer runs from about mid-May to mid-August. Yours may vary.

I'm thrilled so many people have seemed excited about this! I hope it inspires the creation of a whole bunch of good stuff!

My own version of “a hoe never gets cold”: a stone top never gets hot

[dykeselfcest]

sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste [Sunset] [AO3] - the world loves carol to the point of creation, invention, manipulation. hive pov, second person.

written for the @completelyarbitrarysunsetex ! please consider checking it out on the sunset archive (a femslash-focused ao3 clone), as this exchange was designed to raise engagement on the archive, and my recipient is also the founder of sunset and the single person running it right now! <3

When you lift your head, she lifts your chin gently until she can kiss you, warm and lovely. When she does, you feel the swell of joy from every romantic on Earth, and you recall the physiological effects—reductions in blood pressure and cortisol, increased skin temperature—but the knowledge doesn’t crowd your mind(s); it melds in harmony with the joy and pleasure of the kiss, the combined brain power of the planet vast enough to hold every piece of this moment, and everything else in the world besides. Carol draws back with languid ease, and her eyes meet yours, half-lidded and finally relaxed after so much anger and fear. “Zosia,” she says. “Yes?” Your response is eager, the desire to please her more powerful even than the sedative effects of her touch. “What do you want?” Carol says, and you wish she hadn’t asked you this again.

Every time someone insists on a clear moral line between #flawed #nuanced #complex bad parenting vs Emotional Abuse Which We All Agree Is Bad I put another poor struggling parent in my bubbling cauldron

[kaftan]

Cannot take it seriously when fans of Any fiction where abuse or trauma is #upforinterpretation complain about those readings in a “why can’t you suspend disbelief/let [characters] be happy” way. The only one who needs to be happy is ME. In my beautiful and correct and beautiful sandbox.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 2.06 "Like the Light by Which God Made the World Before He Made Light"

“The Brain -- is wider than the Sky --...”

by Emily Dickinson

The Brain — is wider than the Sky — For — put them side by side — The one the other will contain With ease — and you — beside —

The Brain is deeper than the sea — For — hold them — Blue to Blue — The one the other will absorb — As sponges — Buckets — do —

The Brain is just the weight of God — For — Heft them — Pound for Pound — And they will differ — if they do — As Syllable from Sound —
