If you’re over 30 and write and/or read fan fiction, reblog!

brightlotusmoon

Children, we write the best crackfic around. We created the fandom you adore.

Star Trek survived in part because of women over 30 writing fanfiction. Especially about The Premise, aka Kirk/Spock, aka The First Slash.

A trophy from us to you for making it to the end of the semester, whether you're a student, faculty member, or librarian:

Peter Bateman (British, 1740–1825) (artist), and Anne Bateman (British, 1748–1813) (artist). Trophy Cup. 1792–93. The Cleveland Museum of Art.

Maybe staff too? We use JSTOR for research too! And on most campuses we’re the last ones to leave for the semester. We’re here over the breaks.

I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.

Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.

YES

also technology breaks at random, and sometimes you just suddenly feel a thousand years old

variablejabberwocky

everybody has a half dozen names and none of them are their “real” name.

which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.

there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.

getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.

There are certain beings on this site that you just Do. Not. Mention. Lest you draw their attention.

Neil Gaiman is there.

Please let me introduce my new design: ⭐️ Knossos Shawl⭐️! . ⭐️Knossos Shawl, inspired by the ancient Minoan civilization art, is a truly timeless piece and a very satisfying knit. . ⭐️ Worked from the top down, this shawl features elements of mosaic knitting on the Stockinette Stitch background. Using 3 contrasting colors, Knossos showcase the kaleidoscope-like effect at the center spine. . ⭐️ Worsted weight yarn (@myak_fibers Baby Baby Yak Medium) and US7/4.5 mm needles make this project speedy and enjoyable. . Please enjoy the introductory 20% discount on my website and Ravelry until the end of November. No code needed. Follow the link in my profile @irmiandesign. . 💙💛 20% of the sales of this new pattern made until the end of the week will go to Ukrainian refugees’ aid. . . . .

I love that Tumblr is like “We got Neil Gaiman to do a question and answer session so send in your questions and maybe he’ll answer them!” as though the man hasn’t spent the last few years hanging out here answering random questions and cementing himself as a widely beloved fixture of this site

“We brought in Neil Gaiman”

the fuck you did, he lives here

“we brought in neil gaiman”

you pulled him unceremoniously from his bed to go sit on the couch is what you did

Reblogging for that last addition

somespicyshrimp

does every other young adult lesbian or bisexual or whatever have a little memorial somewhere in their hearts to all the girls they loved (or almost loved or almost almost loved) when they were too young and repressed and afraid to do anything about it, a shrine to all the puppy loves and summer romances and first kisses they might have shared if it hadn’t been for the shame, the doubt, the self-hatred, the fear, a monument to all that could have been if they’d have had the courage or simply lived in another time and place where they could have tried, where they could have loved and been loved, or am i just uniquely nostalgic and lonely on this thursday night

Small(er) Gods

We sit to praise our pantheon, Hands clasped in thread and steel. For powers deftly laid upon, The needle, hook or wheel.

Benevolent though some may be, More love to steer astray. They’ll gift your pins to gravity, Or keep fused threads at bay.

Some take their tithe in first cloth cut, The smoothest, cleanest snip. Yet others drink the pin-prick blood, From scars on fingertips.

The brave may seek their council still, For pins lost or purls dropped. They’ll not shy from uneven quilts, Or loops that come unlocked.

Though guidance they will offer plain, With payment clear as glass, Be wary of the terms explained, Lest tangled knots stay fast.

But still their songs are heard and felt, In heartbeats punched and sewn. Machine beat drowning prayers that tell, You’ll not create, alone.

man the dichotomy sure is somethin’

thank you both very much @evertheneverland and @bumblebeerror-asks-and-replies

mxmallory

The temptation to make this a cross-stitch sampler is real.

theshitpostcalligrapher

oh absolutely go for it if you’d like to, but know that this thing has over 20 lines so it may be somewhat… large. Maybe just the first or just the last stanza?
