why must a fic be "finished" is it not enough for it to be lovingly daydreamed over a period of 6 months.

fanfic authors b like ‘haha this chapter got a little out of hand it’s a little longer like 60k words’

babes that’s a novel. you wrote a novel.

You can buy pre-shelled pistachios. They're more expensive, but the main reason I won't buy them is that the shells are the only obstacle between me and consuming a pound of pistachios in a single sitting, which I suspect I might regret.

keeps us from creating an unwanted nut butter type of situation in our mouths

Unwanted Nut Butter is a great band name

Met an old teacher today and we got talking about ‘the good old times’ and ten minutes into the conversation I jokingly said the one regret I have from middle school is that I never won anything at her magnificent tombolas? Because, like, she used to hold this game about once a month so we’d learn the numbers in French and it was never big prizes, but as a 12-yo I desperately craved them - a cactus-shaped eraser, a bright blue notebook with slightly larger-than-usual squares, a set of coloured pens - and never ever got a single one of them. 

(Actually spent a good few months thinking I was genetically unlucky and researching ancient family curses with my grandma.) 

So today I don’t know what I was hoping for - nothing, really?

(I mean, that part of me that’s still twelve was probably expecting this sweet old woman to have a set of glitter stickers in her purse and just go ‘You know what, you’re right - I’ve been saving this one for you all these years, here you go’ but I’m a solidly rational person and I know that’s stupid.)

No, I thought we’d just laugh and it would be a good shared memory and that would be it. Instead, my teacher got flustered and a bit embarrassed and explained the game was rigged. It was never about learning French at all. She’d just noticed some kids couldn’t afford even basic stationery, so she’d buy a few half-fancy items every month with her own money just for them. She didn’t want them to feel different or left out. And obviously the way she used to walk around in the classroom, looking over our shoulders - it wasn’t to prevent cheating. It was because she was cheating herself, wanting to see which number a particular child needed to get a Minnie Mouse pencil case.

Guys - the world is fucked up, but so many people out there are just good and kind and humbly heroic it honestly gives me hope. 

It’ll be alright, you’ll see.

It's so crazy how "Don't feed the trolls" was like the Motto of the internet & in forum culture of the 00s and early 10s and now you log onto a certain website and it's just an endless sea of people pouring gruel into the troll trough day in day out and no one seems to realize or care that their internet experience being a constant deluge of misery and bad faith discussion might in fact be their own fault

[inixplicable]

Deleting Facebook & Twitter were two of the best decisions I've made in my life. 10/10 could not recommend more highly

isnt it insane how one day a fan woke up and said they didn’t want to have their fanfic reading experience be interrupted by capitalism and then decided to create ao3 and change millions of lives? like damn, you absolute legend.

[0hheytherebigbadwolf]

Y'all already KNOW the next time AO3 does a donation ask, the response is going to be INSANE.

AO3: The donation banner is up! The banner is raised! The volunteers call for aid!

"But you already wrote that trope."

“How do you know you ship them?”

When I see them together, a noise comes out of my mouth and it sounds like a dying horse.

This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞

The email/DM from Wattpad is so condescending. Imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also, the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑

[uglygreenjacket]

*reads child a bedtime story*: I wonder when and why I stopped needing one of these.

*pulls up ao3 in bed like I’ve done every night for years*: Oh. OH.
