Sometimes, fanfiction is carefully plotted out stories, with plot points and call backs and themes that all tie it up in a meaningful and exciting way.
And sometimes fanfiction is, ‘Watch me do a fucking KICK FLIP off this cool sentence!! Also here's some sex'
Both are beautiful forms of writing.

Remember Keith Porter, who was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve (December 31st, 2025).
Remember Geraldo Lunas Campos, a 55-year-old man from Cuba, who died in ICE custody on January 3rd, 2026. His cause of death was reported by ICE as “medical distress and under investigation”. Witnesses saw guards hold down and strangle Geraldo. The county medical examiner determined cause of death to be “asphyxia due to neck and torso compression”, and ruled his death as a homicide.
Remember Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, a 42-year-old man from Honduras, who died in ICE custody on January 5th, 2026. His cause of death was reported by ICE as “complications related to congenital heart failure”.
Remember Luis Beltrán Yanez-Cruz, a 68-year-old man from Honduras, who died in ICE custody on January 6th, 2026. His cause of death was reported by ICE as “heart-related health issues.”
Remember Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by ICE on January 7th, 2026.

Remember Wael Tarabishi, whose health declined and ultimately led to his death on January 23rd, 2026 after his father and primary caregiver, Maher Tarabishi, was taken by ICE. The Tarabishi family are once again asking for Maher’s release, this time so he can attend his son’s funeral.

I can't stop thinking about a bridgerton x jurdan au where Taryn is debuting to find a husband and jude is overseeing her season but has no plans to debut herself. Taryn's poise and grace during her introduction to the queen lead her to be chosen as the Diamond and everyone expects her to get engaged to prince Cardan who has joined the season as well for the first time.
Jude is skeptical of him because of his rebellious behavior when they went to school together, and she has heard rumors of him being a rake so she tries to subtly see for herself if he would be worthy of Taryn. However, when she overhears him talking to some people about how he does not want to get married to Taryn, she thinks the rumors were true and does everything she can from that point to prevent their engagement.
But the truth is that he was forced to start searching for a wife by his father who just wants to marry him off so he no longer has to deal with him, and the Queen insists he pursue her Diamond. Meanwhile, Cardan does not want to marry Taryn because he has a huge crush on her twin, Jude. At first, he was reluctant to court Taryn, but when he sees how much it provokes Jude, he becomes unrelenting, having too much fun annoying her and liking being able to spend more time with her.
And there is a bunch of bridgerton-esque drama like heated ballroom dancing, proclamations of passion, being caught in compromising situations and being forced to engage.
hey did you know that uhh
i. the monster's body is a cultural body
ii. the monster always escapes
iii. the monster is the harbinger of category crisis
iv. the monster dwells at the gates of difference
v. the monster polices the borders of the possible
vi. fear of the monster is really a kind of desire
vii. the monster stands at the threshold… of becoming
oh shit i didn't expect this to actually get notes lmao
these are all direct quotes from jeffrey jerome cohen's "monster culture (seven theses)" (full pdf linked) i highly encourage you to read it yourself!
that said, while i think cohen's writing is evocative, it can be a little dense, so while i'm here, here's my capsule summary (you can also hear me talk about this in the first episode of my podcast) (listen to @ghostswerepeopletoo)
i. the monster's body is a cultural body - The monster is a work of fiction to be analyzed through tools of literary and sociological theory.
ii. the monster always escapes - As long as the cultural fear from which the monster stems persists, the monster will reappear in retellings, reimaginings, and sequels.
iii. the monster is the harbinger of category crisis - Monsters defy binaries and challenge easy comprehension or categorization.
iv. the monster dwells at the gates of difference - The monster represents the Other.
v. the monster polices the borders of the possible - Tales of the monster exist to discourage unacceptable or taboo behaviors.
vi. fear of the monster is really a kind of desire - Subjects can vicariously participate in the disruption of the social order through the monster.
vii. the monster stands at the threshold… of becoming - Within the monster we find information about the self.
“how do you write again after a long break?” you just start. that’s the horror of it. you just. start. and then the story opens its eyes.
For more practical advice, as a person who is constantly juggling 3 to 5 novels and spends months between working on some of them:
Read your work again to get your voice back in your pen (and to remind yourself what you like about your own writing)
While doing this, resist the urge to critique or edit—
—except that thing that made you stop. Rip that thing off the work like a scab and let the blood flow anew. If that's a chapter you couldn't finish, or a plotline you couldn't figure out, or a character that doesn't fit, it doesn't matter. It's dead now. Erased. Never happened. Do something else with the wound because that scab killed your flow
Be gentle with yourself, but be firm. You have to write. You do not have to write well every time, but you have to write
i recommend telling yourself “this isn’t an experience i want to keep having” and stop entertaining things that are really detrimental to your health and don’t benefit you in anyway.
man come on. it's colours
After several nasty reviews from his last book, Gendry's ego is bruised and he is beginning to wonder if he's lost his touch. Determined to meet his deadline, he books a week in an isolated cabin for the holidays.
Arya has no intention of spending the week under her family's microscope. She hasn't mustered up the courage to tell them she quit the very job they got for her. What she needs is a little R&R in a cozy little cabin in the woods.
What neither expected was sharing with a total stranger when the company double-books. With no other vacancies, the couple stubbornly refuses to give up either of their spots. Besides, it was only one week. What could go wrong?
Catelyn Stark, the recently departed Stark matriarch, had a funny way of screwing her daughter's life beyond the grave. When Arya learns of the small fortune to be inherited, she believes she'll finally be able to live the life she wants. Unfortunately, there is one tiny stipulation...she has to get married before her 35th birthday.
Robert Baratheon left his son with a terrible outlook on life and a debt he'll never be able to repay. After Gendy is denied a loan by another bank, he is desperate enough to ask his best friend for the money.
The proposition is simple enough.
Jon will give Gendry half the money upfront if he agrees to marry Arya by Christmas. He'll get the other half if he manages to stay married to her for a year.
What is a year in comparison to having all your dreams come true?
damn i wish u guys could read this fic i haven't written and this fic i haven't finished writing and this fic i'm putting off outlining and this fic i outlined but haven't started and this fic i'll never write and this other fic i haven't written and this fic that exists only in vague impressions in my head that fall apart every time i try to commit them to the page and th
it always pisses me off how edward says he’s a monster for how he used to drink the blood of murderers/rapists/people intending to cause harm. like your adoptive mother tried to commit suicide bc of her abusive husband, your adoptive sister was left on the street to die after being brutalized by her so called fiancé and his friends, your other adopted sister was placed in an asylum by her father and stepmother after her mother “died” and you still think those humans deserve to live because why exactly? i know he’s not the empath but for the love of god as a mind reader you’d think he would understand how those “humans” he killed destroyed more lives than he did.
Imagine how beautiful it would’ve been if instead of Eclipse being about Bella choosing Edward or Jacob it was about Edward and Bella slowly growing back together while dealing with the newborns.
Like give us, Bella hanging out with Jacob and the pack and asking them for advice or just hanging out for fun. Her riding bikes with them or baking with Emily.
Bella and Leah bonding because they both know what it’s like to be left by someone they love. Give us Bella learning from Leah she is strong enough to live without Edward if she wants to because she already has before.
Give us Leah learning from Bella that there’s still beauty in love. That people still care about her and her showing her emotions doesn’t make her any less of a warrior.
Have her being friends with Angela and Jessica, her not telling them everything but about how she doesn’t trust Edward yet and what if she never can again?
Give us, Jacob being a protective brother and telling Edward if he cares about Bella he can’t fuck up again.
Give us Charlie and Billy discussing how the relationship has slowed but grown - how Billy doesn’t like the Cullens but loves Bella and wants her happy.
Give us Bella and Esme talking about her backstory and Bella asking her second mom how she trusted that Carlisle wouldn’t leave again, how she trusted any man ever again.
Give us Emmett and Jasper protecting Bella and becoming friends with the pack because they all want to destroy some newborns
Or maybe they never become friends with the pack but they learn to respect them for protecting their family and land
Rosalie telling Bella her story and then Bella telling her her own. Rosalie helping Bella become confident and Bella making Rosalie feel human again
Rosalie slowly warming up to her and finding herself laughing at Bella’s snide remarks and sarcasm. Bella laughing at Rosalie’s deadpan answers and eyerolls.
Alice and Bella spending time together and catching up on the six months they were apart. Alice and Jacob being the ones she runs to for the first half of the book because she trusts them.
Alice holding a crying Bella and sobbing silently because god she missed Bella so much and she knows the future might be bright but so afraid it will change like it did six months ago.
Carlisle talking to Edward as he tried to repair his relationship. Telling him to stop underestimating Bella just because she’s human. Edward having to remind Bella ehh they fell in love in the first place - without worrying about revealing the whole vampire bit
Just soft friendship moments between them where it starts with simple and safe topics. The weather (lol), favorite colors, favorite movies, because they are relearning each other
Just imagine Eclipse as E/B slowly creating a more stable relationship but retaining tiny things that made their relationship theirs
Like the first time since NM when Bella lets Edward stay the night but it’s just to watch out for Riley
The first time he comforts her from a nightmare and she lets him hold her again, Alice messaging him to say stop overthinking
ah i’m sorry I can go on and on just the idea of eclipse being a slow burn with angst and fluff and none of that “dog” racism shit or jasper being a confederate soldier or jacob becoming this aggressive jerk
just the tribe and cullens understanding each other mutually and growing respect for one another
