Hey there, it's Santa! Sorry I'm just dropping by now--today is actually the first day I haven't been at rehearsals until ten thirty at night! (I play in a pit orchestra) I am so excited for your prompt - I haven't seen that movie in ages but this is such a good excuse to drag it out again! Quick question though : do you prefer angst or fluff? Merry early Christmas and happy holidays! 🎄🎄

Santaaa!! Omg!! You play in a pit orchestra? That's so cool!! I loveee fluff but also really angsty angst (oops!). If you went crazy with the prompt id be soooo happy.Merry Christmas to you too!!

I dont think i've ever been more tired and emotionally drained than i am today.

Well, i guess its my fault for doing an exhange program and having to sit all my exams way before they were scheduled originally.

Any advice on how to deal with stress? I've started crying for no specific reason, i'm just really overwhelmed and tired!

Doctor Blake ficlet, Lucien / Jean

Hello, lovely little show. Hello, new fandom!  Just playing around with style and character, because I do love these characters and the way their histories inform their lives.

Lucien/Jean, set in the near future, 830 words, teen audience. As ever, thanks to @pellucidthings for the read-through (and for getting me into this in the first place).

Later, after they are married, they whisper stories into each other’s shoulders, lips against skin, sharing histories neither is sure they want to hear.  As Lucien shrugs her nightgown off, Jean protests that it is unsuitable to sleep in the nude, but they both know that it is for show.  He rests his hands loosely under her breasts and she threads her fingers through his, holding him against her, waiting for whatever it is he might say.

OUAT Icons

So it seemed like a popular idea and it’s a lot of fun to make all these variations. Let me know if there’s a color and little drawing combination you want, or if you want one plain, or what character you want. I saved a bunch of pics but I wasn’t sure what all to make so I just went with it. :)

(Yes I’ll be making more.)

Belle, Regina, Snow, and Rumbelle behind the cut!

Imma snatch the queen belle one! Love everything about these icons!! <3

The internet just changed: Net Neutrality is dead.

The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/

Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.

We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.

We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]

This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

I try to keep the things I reblog as blog/mun-centric as possible, but this is something I just can’t let slide.

I’ve been following this cause since last year.  I’ve signed petitions, I’ve called representatives, I’ve been to protests, the whole nine yards.

This right here?  This is not a joke.  This is seriously happening, guys.

Remember the Wikipedia shutdown?  That was to protest this right here.  If you haven’t taken action against this yet, frankly, what is wrong with you?  If this doesn’t get stopped, we’re going to lose the thing that brings us all together unless we shell out huge sums of cash to these corrupt bastards.

Do not just sit there and keep browsing.

Do not scroll past this.

Fight.

We’re 3 people away from reaching 400 The Things!

[woodelf68]

Rumbellers! Who’s new around here? Who hasn’t gotten the Thing? Step right up and ask Strag for it!

[telepwen]

Neither @toseehowthestoryends nor I got The Thing back when we were new.  Does that help?

[toseehowthestoryends-deactivate]

Yep, never got it.  Never realized I should ask until I figured it was too late, given how long I’ve been hanging out in this fandom, now.

[knitmeapony]

Kids.  Teenagers.  As someone staring 40 in the face lemme tell you a thing.

You are going to be horrified and embarrassed at some point by the shit you are doing now.

And you are going to wish with all your might you’d done more of it.  

You’re gonna wish you had more selfies, more photos, more videos being dumb with your friends.  You’re going to wish you’d had your hair even higher or your shoes even sparklier.  

Go.  Document the shit out of your ridiculous life.  Fuck trends but if you wanna be trendy, go all in.  Fuck in-groups and subcultures but if one sings to you, do it all.  Be exactly as cool or punk rock or goth or fandom or country or hardcore or hip hop or whatever, and don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Just don’t hurt people.  That’s the only thing you’ll ever genuinely live to regret.

@palejoke tagged: #I mean no offense but why a 40 y/o on the hellsite

I think I have talked about this before, but because life doesn’t end at twenty or thirty or forty or fifty and thinking that folks are going to fall out of social media or that there won’t always be someone your age and my age and twice both of our ages interested in [insert anything, ever] is a very limiting worldview.  

Somewhere there is a sixty-five year old who unironically loves Taylor Swift’s music and a fifty-two year old writing Superwholock fanfic and a ninty year old who absolutely lives for the next episode of Archer and a seventy-one year old that can kick anyone’s ass in k-pop trivia.  There will always be these folks, and all the Internet has done is give fans of all ages a chance to interact in a way that they never had before.

Before BBSes and the Internet and Usenet and the World Wide Web and fanrings and forums and social media, those people would just love it in their own way, in the privacy of their own homes.  But now anyone can make an Ao3 account or a basic fansite or tumbl about whatever they want, and sometimes you’re gonna learn those people are old but they still get it, and sometimes you’re going to find out those folks are still kids, twelve or fourteen at the oldest, and marvel at their maturity and skill and attention to detail.  

And that is rad as hell, that is fucking incredible, that is… whatever the kids are saying these days, hah.

As a sidenote, once, about a decade ago, I decided to email one of my favourite authors before she bit it … she was pushing 90 at the time. ( … she’s still alive now). Anyways, we got to having a long discussion, because I shared my deadname with her late husband, and I actually had quite a long conversation with her. The part of the conversation I’d like to share with you about this now pushing 100-tear-old author isn’t that she developed a liking for her breakfast eggs from her honeymoon in Vienna, or that her Husband would sometimes steal her drafts to read them as soon as he could, or that she superglued a potted plant to her bookshelf to watch her orange cat try to knock it over and fail. Nono, I mention this to bring up what she would do as a writing exercise whenever she didn’t feel like writing her serious work. In short, erotic darkwing duck slashfic. You can find it online.

This is the greatest addition this post has gotten so far.

[redshoesnblueskies]

I LOVE THIS FUCKING POST.

I love all the posts written by older fans, with their insight, and their generous attitude towards young fans, and young fanfic writers, and young fanartists. 

Older fans who patiently explain to whomever questioned the validity of older fans participation…

that it’s older fans running the AO3 servers and the entire OTW organization;

Older fans most often writing the actually well written fanfic; 

Older fans planning, organizing and executing massive cons;

Older fans who write out fandom history dating back to pre-internet so that history can be known and preserved and enjoyed;

Older fan lawyers enforcing Fair Use laws pro bono to keep fans from being sued for creating fic or art or any other media;

Older fans behaving well with life-lived-and-learned healthy boundaries;

or conversely dealing out smack-downs to those not behaving well be they older trolls or naively inexperienced younguns;

Older fans letting fans of all ages remember that zany enthusiasm is not the province only of the young - it is the province of humanity. 

And we’re right there loving being human with you.
