I love a good I’m only here to do my job and nothing more that turns into a hesitant OK, but the people here are pretty nice and then grows into a oh, you named a flower after me, I am touched or you want to hold my hand as we walk through the forest, how sweet or You have such a warm smile, I could get used to seeing it.
I had that random urge to buy a bunch of the books on my wish list, and since most of these are queer books and it’s pride month, I thought it would be fun to see how many of them I could read throughout the month. And first book The house in the cerulean Sea. I have seen this book recommended so often by friends and strangers alike. A lot of people have said it’s a very cozy romance/found family kind of energy, so I’m excited since those are two things I absolutely adore.
My problem with The Magnus Archives is…
Why can no one in that podcast have an awful voice? There’s no reason for evil Eldridge horrors to make me think damn the boss is hot. Cause no, the boss is evil, very evil, I just think evil boss man can also read me a bedtime story or two, or three, even if they’re all about like eyeballs and spooky shit. 
hey kids who read fic, listen up
it’s annoying to me as a Fanfic Elder that y’all don’t understand how consent works in regards to reading fanfic
last night I saw a fic that had EIGHT of my favorite tags included and a great summary BUT it also contained a tag for a topic that bothers me. I weighed the pros/cons and decided NOT to read the fic because the ONE tag I disliked was something that could trigger a panic attack if the scene went into any sort of detail - it wasn’t worth risking the eight good tags.
from the first moment I noticed the fic to the moment I decided not to read it, the entire experience was MY RESPONSIBILITY. the author tagged the fic correctly, I knew what my limits were, and I respected them.
if you find a fic with tags you don’t like, JUST DON’T READ IT
don’t harass the author, don’t post a big whiny rant about it on Tumblr, just keep scrolling
that is your job as a reader.
Say it louder for the people in the back.
Knowing you have zero money because you’ve used it all to study abroad, and still having the urge to buy tickets to one of the two TMA live events happening in England which is really expensive to get to from where you live.
I’m sure that’s happening to someone out there, not me OFC, but someone.
Tim/Elias feels like such a cursed ship and I read it anyways, and I liked it. Which I think says a lot more about me than it does about the ship itself 😭😭
Anyways, if any TMA fans stumble upon my blog, I am accepting recommendations for TMA fanfiction that you absolutely loved.
An eight year old boy completely blew me away today when I crouched down to show him the ratsnake I was holding, as he immediately correctly identified it and then proceeded to hit me with a FLOOD of information about their species, behavior, and exact geographical range (WHAT) that I could barely keep up with.
And then he just kept going. Without stopping. Just an unfaltering stream of information about native snakes that completely and totally waylaid my years of carefully prepared, child digestible snake information. And then all of my more advanced, sometimes adult digestible snake information.
Then he was off about the rediscovery of crested geckos in New Caledonia in the 90's. From there I didn't even have much to say about the rest of his information--he wasn't talking about animals I had much knowledge of or experience with. It SOUNDED correct, but I wouldn't have known.
I've been doing this my whole life and I genuinely think that 8 year old knew more than me. He cared about it SO much. He showed me on his tiny arm where he'd been bitten by a milk snake days before. He still wanted to hold the ratsnake.
I don't have a point or moral or anything here, it was just a weirdly impactful experience I wanted to share. I think weird little kids like that are going to save the world.
OK I found this post on my dashboard again after The Magnus Archives, and this is just John. Someone out here needs to write this for me. Baby John just info dumping on one of those zoo or like terrarium field trip trips with his school. And the worker there is just absolutely endeared by this smart and very cute kid. 
the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole
Thank you to the one TMA fanfiction that taught me that four seasons landscaping has a weird little abandoned garage coffee shop.
These are the delightful fun facts that I like to know about the world.  
New Year’s resolution 
The best coincidence of my life was getting into The Magnus Archives two weeks before they collaborated with Shane and Ryan.
It felt like my own personal Christmas gift. 
“So this lawyer is preparing a case where he deserves to enter heaven. Should we tell him he was going to get in anyway?” “No, I’m going to let him have this one. Let him have the most important argument he will ever experience.”
Alex Claremont Diaz be like 
Ah, here we are!
This is your mandatory post about my new fic and next fic ‘L’appel Du Vide’ (LDV) - also known as the mavid rwrb au. As usual, I thought I’d share some info about the fic so you guys know what you’re getting yourselves into. So, here you go.
Is this fic based on the Red, White, and Royal Blue movie or book?
I’d say both. But it’s primarily based on the book because I like the book better and there is more material for me to work with.
2. Do I need to watch the movie/read the book to read LDV?
Not at all. If you’ve not read/watched rwrb, you don’t have to. It won’t affect your reading experience, I promise.
3. Does the fic have the same plot as rwrb?
Yes and no. This fic is an adaptation because I have to change the story to fit my characters. For example, Max is not going to have a bi-crisis like Alex did and David’s backstory is different because god knows Albert ain’t no Arthur Fox! So, the characterization and flow are quite different. But since it’s based on rwrb, many of the ‘key scenes’ are there - but they’re just adjusted and changed to fit my characters.
4. How many chapters and whose POV is it from?
Similar to the books, the fic will be from a single POV - Max’s. But I will include a David chappy because we haven’t gotten his POV in so long and I’m mad about it. There are 20 chapters in total - this might change slightly if I decided to experiment with the outline.
5. Is it true this fic has smut? 👀
Apparently so 👀 Look. It’s in the outline. I intend to write it. But this is my first time writing smut and some of you know I struggle with it and am self-conscious about it. I also find it weird to write sex scenes about people I know (I KNOW MAVID OKAY?). But this is a writing challenge and one I’m willing to explore. So, let’s see how it goes. Max and David’s relationship begins as a sexual one as it does in the rwrb book. So, there will definitely be sex scenes for sure. I just don’t know how smutty or explicit it will be. Y’all know I hate saying erection! And trust me, there will be many erections in this story.
6. What’s the posting schedule?
Ah. This is the tricky part. I’ve decided to do a weekly posting schedule for this fic. In other words, one chapter per week. I’m going to be a bit busy in April and May. So, I know I won’t be able to commit to two chapters a week. I might try to whenever I can. But I’m setting one chapter a week as the target.
Are you excited to write it?
Very much so! The last few fics I’ve written (TLND, IALS, FMF, LBAF) have been very heavy - both in plot, themes and writing. Even the posting schedule was so intense. While there are definitely heavy themes in LVD, I see this fic as more of a rom-com. So, I think it’d be fun to write! And I love writing Max pov when he isn’t suffering hehe. I really want this fic to be a fun one!
A gentle reminder that this is not a malec fic, so please do not ask me for their povs or scenes or try to make this fic about them. I’ve seen that happen with my other mavid fics and so I hope it won’t be the case for this one.
Finally, a quick shoutout to @gospi and @ladyoflilies who have been bullying me and supporting me behind the scenes to write this fic and have been excited as as I am.
The first chapter will drop tomorrow (it’s already written and was written months ago!). Until then, here are some (theme) songs for you to listen to. See you tomorrow!
The gays are winning y’all!!! 
i miss the malec fic page u and @lifeofpatterns created?
Hi! I called @lifeofpatterns when I saw this ask because I was so shocked that there were still people curious about what happened to that Paige. It was just a fun little project, mainly her idea, to keep our favorite fandom alive because we realized that less people were posting in it.
A few things led to the lack of updates from the account. That summer, I had just started a new internship that took up a lot of time, and my lovely partner was finishing up her bachelors thesis. By the time all of that was over, we let so many posts go unposted that it was just kind of overwhelming for us to start again. But also, we are absolutely horrible at finishing long-term projects even the ones we are having fun with. You should see the long list of ideas that have been started by us on three hour phone calls and long voice message chains that have not seen the light of day.
That being said, the account will still always be up there for those of you who are looking for a little slice of Malec. We appreciate the occasional notification that someone has liked or reblogged one of the posts, or when an author finds their story on the page. Though we will most likely not revisit posting on this account, we hope that you all enjoy it for what it is, a way to appreciate all the wonderful authors in a fandom that brought us so much.  We had such a fun time getting to share some of our favorites with all of you and getting to support our authors who keep this fandom going. And we hope all of you did too.
With love,
Lily, part of your a year of Malec team
PS: Though we may not be posting anymore fic recs, we are always accepting them so please feel free to let us know what you’re reading! Our love for this fandom has not and will not end just because we stopped posting :-) and you all had some great recommendations! 
OK, I have two very important questions:
1: when is Nicholas going to do a cover of that little preview of Henry by Lana Del Rey? I need this to appear on my YouTube for science.
2: who is ready to fan edit the hell out of the lake house scene when that song is actually released? 
When I thought I was so creative because I thought it would be funny if there was such a thing as soulmate geese, just to find out that other people beat me to the punch. But also, I would like to befriend the writers of soulmate geese fanfiction because I need more of this kind of creative chaos in my life. 
Will Tec 3 end with with Magnus being pardoned by the Peruvian government? 👀
This seems like an amazing epilogue. All the survivors standing around, contemplating the state of the world, and then an airplane lands and it's the government of Peru...
Cassy, don’t do this, you’ve raised my hopes up.
