"Remember that you must die, Twilight' @memento-mori-twilight - Tumblr Blog

So in post Seine stories sometimes I like to think of how many years Javert and Valjean end up having together. It is morbid but sweet in a way to think of how many years of peace Valjean gets to have at the end of it all. 19 years is the best answer in my opinion, not only because of its importance to valjean, he lost 19 years to the law and in post Seine valvert fics javert usually plays a role in knocking valjean out of his melancholy there by giving him back the time the state took away. But also because, since Valjean originally died at 64, 19 years makes him 83, the actual age Victor Hugo was when he died. Idk but it’s weirdly fitting to me.

like a dog called to heel

the metaphor of overpowering duty and guilt. AU where Javert survived the Seine and decided to turn Valjean in. I’m sorry

sometimes writing fanfiction is like building a fire because you're cold but then you find out more people are also cold so they gather around the fire and you all warm up together and then someone else builds a fire and you visit their fire and so no matter where you go, which fandom it is, what concept someone may be looking for, someone out there has a fire for you

“Give to this dog son of a wolf a human face, and the result will be Javert.”

I think a lot about the folkloric story that Victor Hugo describes (or invents) in Les Mis, that uses dogs/wolves as a metaphor for that way that Inspector Javert betrays his own social class. It feels very fairytale-like, so here’s a Lotte-Reiniger style adaptation. Many thoughts, many emotions. I may animate this eventually. (And thanks to @valvertweek for the motivation!)

My cat’s body is so loose and saggy that he blended in perfectly with a sweater on the ground. When my mom was cleaning up, she thought he was part of the sweater and grabbed him. :(

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

this is the funniest fucking take and i 100% agree

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol

sazandorable

a short selection of concepts and phrases that used to be commonplace in fandom and we’d really benefit from making that a thing again:

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.
