And it was *amazing* @lielabell - Tumblr Blog

the best part of the princess bride is how it says that love is the number one motivation in life but! a close number two is spite.

Thank you. I hope everybody thinks this

anyway the thing about fanfic is that it's not essentially bad or good; it's essentially amateur. some people are absolutely out there writing award-worthy prose (some fic writers ARE award-winning writers IRL!), but that's not the point. the point is that we're all telling campfire stories. it's a community, and it's a way to spend some more time in the worlds and stories that we love.

the girl who is comfy in bed yearns to be On The Computer. The girl who is On The Computer yearns to be comfy in bed. Thus does desire become the root of all suffering

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT

redpandarascal

in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.

Has someone written the story where Sauron doesn’t do all that swords in the dark art nonsense and just sends the Witch King to Hobbiton to file a lawsuit instead?

It’s not a strategy that would work in any other jurisdiction in Middle-Earth but hobbit law does not recognize wergild and does have the right of first finder, with the time limit being the death of the original owner, which works out great for Sauron who never died (?)

The litigation comes down to “Is this Dark Lord fellow actually alive and if so can he prove it” “has he consistently been alive” “what is being alive, actually, when you think about it” and “has he been making a good faith effort to recover his lost property for the last few thousand years”. All very tricky to adjudicate, especially with the entire Shire peeking into the court room. The whole case eventually gets thrown out when a strange tall man abducts Frodo in the night but it’s quite the philosophical crisis in the meantime.

The greatest trick the devil (the capitalist) ever pulled was convincing us that certain jobs weren’t “real” jobs

I don’t care if they’re done by anybody from a teenager to a retiree, they should be paid a living wage

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

The office drama version of enemies-to-lovers where the parties in question are co-workers who hate each other's guts but can't do anything about it because they depend on each other's work to not get fired is fun, but I feel like it would have an extra kick if transplanted to a milieu where killing each other is still on the table. Dread servants of the Dark Lord all contemplating whether having their stupid sexy co-henchperson assassinated is worth the high likelihood of getting taken down with them.
