Saw this and thought of sharing it because it is very beautiful
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.
op says we can repost
i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people
people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!
Non-spicy ways to show Intimacy
Intimacy isn't always just the spicy stuff! Here's a few ways to show it through your characters in a few, simple ways...
Kissing their S/O's hand, knuckles, wrist...bonus points for eye contact!
Speaking of which...eyes. Glances across the room, prolonged eye contact, staring at each other
Tending to the other's wounds/ injuries
Knowing the other's tiny habits
Reaching out to the other when in pain, trouble, ect
Whispering jokes to each other
Carefully wiping off a stain from their clothes or face
Taking care of each other when sick or hurt
Hand over the heart/ ear over the heart just to hear it beat
Pressing their thumb over the pulse point for the same thing
Tracing scars, tattoos, birth marks, freckles
Giving the other something tiny that means a lot, a picture, a shiny rock, a flower
In fantasy settings, helping the other put on/ take off armor...trusting the other to know where daggers, knives, poisons are hidden
Telling each other secrets/ thoughts they've told nobody before
Tucking back the other's hair
Putting a piece of jewelry on the other or letting them borrow clothes
Keeping each other warm in the cold
In cases with chronic illness, letting the other care for/ know symptoms
Brushing, braiding hair, applying skincare, etc.
Nightmare comfort
Wiping away tears
Proximity- sitting near each other, sticking close, standing beside each other while doing a task such as cooking, laundry, painting...
Sharing a book, sitting close enough to read it together

How to show loneliness in a character rather than tell it:
lots of internal monologue and even dialogue with oneself
social awkwardness
despite longing for connection, avoiding it because they are not used to it
or: seeking connection anywhere they can, even in the tiny interactions with employees and strangers
making their home a very comforting space since they spend so much time in it
not feeling invited to activities unless explicitly told they are, and even then doubting it
not even considering the possibility of talking to someone
feeling warmth in their chest after a good talk with someone, only for it to twist into dread and doubt later on

UGLY HONEST DIALOGUES!!!
⟢ "I'm not angry. I'm past angry. Angry was six months ago. What I am now doesn't have a name yet."
⟢ "You want to know what it felt like? It felt like drowning in something you poured."
⟢ "Don't you dare cry. You don't get to cry. That's mine. You don't get that too."
⟢ "I have thought about this moment for so long and now that you're here I just feel tired. So tired. Like the anger finally ate itself."
⟢ "You broke something fundamental in me. Just—something that worked before doesn't work anymore."
⟢ "I used to pray you'd come back. Then I started praying you wouldn't. Funny how that works."
⟢ "You want forgiveness? Stand there. Keep standing there. Maybe in ten years I'll have something for you."
⟢ "I'm not the mess you left behind anymore. But god I was. God you should've seen what you left behind."
⟢ "There are nights I wake up and I'm so angry I can taste it. It tastes like metal. Like something that should've healed."
⟢ "You told me I was too sensitive. I believed you for years. That's the part I can't forgive. That I believed you."
⟢ "You never hit me. You want a medal for that? You never hit me and somehow I still flinch."
⟢ "I'm not a tragedy. I refuse to be your tragedy. What you did was ugly and ordinary and I will not make it beautiful for you."
⟢ "I was a child. You knew I was a child and you did it anyway and I have spent my entire adult life cleaning up what you made."
⟢ "Stop explaining. Every word out of your mouth is just you loving yourself more than you ever loved me."
⟢ "I don't want to hurt you. I want to unhappen you. There's a difference."
⟢ "You know what's funny? I still defend you sometimes. Habit, I guess. Old dog stuff. I hate myself for it every time."
⟢ "I survived you. I want you to sit with that. I survived you and you don't even know what that cost."
⟢ "The version of me that loved you is dead. I watched her die. It was slow and it was ugly and she deserved better."
⟢ "You took up so much space in my head for so long. The rent you owe me. God, the rent."
I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3
Passing along for all the writers out there!
I could sure as hell use some of this... 😭 And of course wishing all my fellow writers the same!
Canon/Headcanon likelihood chart
So I've been thinking about @macdenlover 's "levels of headcanon" chart (about how heavily a HC is influenced by canon), so I decided to make my own scale about how likely a HC is to be true (including different levels of canon) using queer cartoon characters as examples :)
I just spent an hour making this because I was bored. Enjoy. Image description under the cut.
Inspiration:
it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this
Another Escape the Night rant🥹🤞
Tbh season 4 annoyed me because it was too obvious who was gonna win. Like in the other seasons you could have a rough idea but season 4 every second was about miss duchess. It sucked. And all they could talk about was Colleen’s death AS IF THE REST OF THEM (expect bretman and Joey ofc) WERENT ALSO DEAD LIKE ION CARE COLLEEN. I also didn’t like how the characters weren’t shocked at things they wouldn’t know. Like Miss duchess not being shocked matpats alive or Ijustine not questioning Tim’s death. The only one who did that was the goat Destorm. Like I loved the idea but it wasn’t what it could’ve been. (IN ALL SERIOUSNESS I LOVE ESCAPE THE NIGHT).
the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
it would be so awesome
it would be so cool
That would be an appropriate way to celebrate.
PSA to fic readers, it is so hard to freak a fic writer out with your comments. we are just as crazy about the fic as you are.
tell me you love it. tell me it made you slam your laptop shut. tell me you brought it up at your college lecture about kink. key smash in all caps. quote the passage that made you think. i promise, we’ll love it.
we spend hours thinking about it, writing it, editing it. there is no such thing as over enthusiasm when you’re talking about our fics to us. we are sooooo weird about them, i assure you. you are just matching my freak. the freak bar is already set so high. feel no anxiety about enjoying something and letting the creator know.
we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you
