I think the historical treatment of left handed people is objectively the funniest form of bigotry mankind has ever displayed

[be-a-dandelion]

Bitches will create a binary and use it to oppress the other side for ANYTHING

[figuringthengsout]

Andrew needing approval of his relationship from Aaron and Aaron demanding recognition of his relationship from Andrew. Andrew planning his kill for Aaron and Aaron killing on instinct for Andrew. Andrew killing Aaron's abusive mother figure, but putting up with abuse to keep his own mother figure. Andrew forcing Aaron through withdrawal and Aaron being forced to see Andrew drugged up all the time. Andrew sacrificing himself over and over again because if he can't be loved he will be needed and Aaron asking him over and over again to just be brothers. Andrew not trusting Aaron with his own self, but not showing enough of himself to convince Aaron to trust him.

you don't find aftg, it finds you when you're ready

[dkafterdark]

thinking about how, for his whole life, people have forced Andrew - or tried to force him - to do things he didn't want to do and so it's ingrained in him to resist. Kevin yells at him, tries to get him to perform, and he's like nope. but then Neil comes along and ASKS HIM for things. he never demands or tells, he asks. and Andrew, when given the choice to say yes or no, chooses to say yes. because Neil gets it, that Andrew can't be made to follow orders - even when they're trivial Exy practice plays - that he needs the option to refuse

everyone: wtf is happening

Neil: I asked

Polish Neil Josten proven and verified. Everyone I am thriving, no wonder he is such a fucking nightmare.

The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me

[chimaerakitten]

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

…well this post sure took off

Follow up to this post, since I COULD NOT know peace until I got the “shy angry cat finally trusts you enough to come sleep on you” energy of this concept out of my system. Thanks @jtl-fics (😘)

And DOUBLE THANKS Ash for putting it in word form 🥹 you can read this sweet little exchange here! 💕

one thing about Dan Wilds is that she, to her core, is a dork, an absolute goof. but only for the important people.

[thespineoftherighteous]

there's the Dan Wilds who everyone knows: badass exy player, first ever female captain, the fierce face of the PSU foxes, the woman who blazed her way from an unfortunate home life to a D1 sports team and then dragged that team alllllll the way up.

and then there's the Foxes' Dan....the one who spends ten minutes every. single. morning scraping off the burned part of her toast and spends the whole day mortified because she told the cashier "you too" when asked if she wanted a receipt and flings herself on top of coach to prevent him from bailing on his surprise birthday party and has a terrible french accent but loves her french class and is somehow always banging her elbow on something and has to put the chair as close to the steering wheel as the car settings will allow when she drives Matt's truck and flings herself onto Matt, Neil, Allison, literally anyone, after a long morning and doesn't realize her headphones weren't actually plugged into her phone until everyone on the bus is mad at her and practically skips around the dorm when shes happy and thinks she's dying every time period cramps hit and will practically strangle Neil, Nicky, Renee, anyone closest to her in a hug after winning a game and is a little bit superstitious and has pro-exy watch parties with Neil Kevin Matt Coach (+ sometimes others) and shouts at the screen just as much as Kevin and Coach and once @ ed a famous actor on Twitter and lost her mind when he actually responded and drunkenly tells Andrew one time that it makes her really happy that he and Neil are together, to know that they have each other etc etc etc etc etc she's everything
