In case it's not common, reading is a part of your job as a writer.

Not every reader is a writer, but every writer MUST be a reader. Reading inspires you, motivates you, and keeps your creativity flowing. Make sure to read more than you write.

Is it normal to comment or give kudos to a fic you like? I thought it was, to be honest I thought it was good etiquette to do so but I was just talking to a friend who said it was ‘embarrassing’ that I comment on fics or leave kudos. I don’t know, maybe I’m missing something?

[novanolife]

Don’t you just love it when you’re trying to write a oneshot and then all of a sudden the characters are holding you hostage and commanding you to expand it into an 80k fic? No? Just me? Okay.

FINALLY

[novanolife]

You know it’s bad when my friend who has no idea what Varigo is offers to help me write fics for Varigo week after I told her I’ve done nothing.

PEOPLE AM I COOKED?

[bad-holmes-impression]

pondering the “i used to see your wanted posters all the time! you’re my hero!” lines.

it sounds as if the flynn rider books depict flynn pulling one over on scoundrels in positions of power (“remember that time you dueled that evil knight blindfolded?”), so it stands to reason that, even in the first episode, varian could have held a tiny bit of contempt for the monarchy.

now, i’m sure books are monitored in a propaganda-riddled kingdom like this one. their messaging would be that these antagonists are just misusing their power, and there would be plenty of good knights and benevolent kings to even out the bad ones.

still, it’s food for thought.

[novanolife]

I feel like the contempt could also be from how they treat old Corona. The monarchy have always disregarded it and saw it for its use for farming and nothing else. How come it seems so much poorer than where the royals live? I’m telling you Varian could definitely see that, and it probably contributed to him not liking the monarchy even before his villain arc.

varigo: *making out*

varian: *stops, moves hugo to wall, pins him there, continues*

hugo: wow that was so hot

varian, having pushed him there because he had to stand on his tiptoes to kiss him and his feet were starting to hurt: *blink blink*

varian: yep. they call me the Charmer.

[novanolife]

He also pulls Hugo’s hair to get him to bend down so he doesn’t have to stand on his tiptoes and Hugo thinks it’s SO HOT

IT'S HAPPENING

EVERYBODY STAY CALM

[phantomrose96]

You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"

And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."

And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.

God this makes me think of this screenshot:

"it minimizes you as a person" really wraps up my entire discomfort with the whole "oh but i'm just a girl" thing when used in most situations.

Things the Tangled fandom doesn’t talk about enough:

• Edmund is literally so cool??

• Adira is the funniest of the brotherhood and she always clocks everyone’s tea

• Lance being the most sane out of the main cast is so funny and sad at the same time. WDYM a literal retired thief is more okay than the literal Princess who embodies the sun and all things bright and lovely!? That girl has more trauma than half of the kingdom that fought a demon. Eugene got killed once and daddy issues (Lance seems to be okay with his past more than Eugene). Cass is…Cass. Varian (though not technically main cast until s3) is a literal mad scientist ex terrorist???

Bro forget fear of spiders, I’d have a fear of your friends.

• How much Arianna has been through. Girl needs a breaakkkk

• Frederic’s egg collection. Say what you want about his ruling as king but bro is kinda funny as hell for that.

• To piggy back in the last one, Frederic being either the dumbest person in the room (“In Like Flynn”) or the absolute most strategic monarch??

• VARIAN LITERALLY BEING A MAD SCIENTIST?? BRO IS CRAZY AND WE ALL MOVE ON FROM THAT BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM?? NO LIKE BRO WAS CRAZY IN HIS VILLAIN ARC AND EVEN BEFORE/AFTER JUST NORMALLYYY 😳😳

DO PEOPLE LIKE OVERLY GLOWY VARIAN STUFF?? CAUSE I DO

this is from an au i made up forever ago called the tampered!moonstone au, where varian gets the moonstone and tries to study it first, tampering with its powers and accidentally infusing the moonstone's powers with his alchemy because i think pink and green black rocks that explode and catch fire and emit noxious gasses is a cool idea :)

[novanolife]

Sooo we might have a problem.

VARIGO WEEK IS TOO SOON AND I AM NOT READY. I DONT HAVE FICS. HELP.

[bad-holmes-impression]

varigo is funny to me because both boys believe themselves to be the personification of everything awful, while being fully adoring to, and willing to die for, the other person.

and they’re so similar.
