Problem solving

“While many people think fanfiction is about inserting sex into texts (like Tolkien’s) where it doesn’t belong, Brancher sees it differently: “I was desperate to read about sex that included great friendship; I was repurposing Tolkien’s text in order to do that. It wasn’t that friendship needed to be sexualized, it was that erotica needed to be … friendship-ized.” Many fanfiction writers write about sex in conjunction with beloved texts and characters not because they think those texts are incomplete, but because they’re looking for stories where sex is profound and meaningful. This is part of what makes fan fiction different from pornography: unlike pornography, fanfic features characters we already care deeply about, and who tend to already have long-standing and complex relationships with each other. It’s a genre of sexual subjectification: the very opposite of objectification. It’s benefits with friendship.”

— Francesca Coppa, “Introduction to The Dwarf’s Tale,” The Fanfiction Reader (via francescacoppa)

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will really have a doc titled ‘fic planning’ and then it’s just blank

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will say “i’m going to write!” and then do something else with the doc open in the background

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will literally put out the most heart-wrenching and devastating piece of fiction that’s a million times better than the source and go haha hope you liked :)

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will have a life changing event happen to them (married, natural disaster, accident etc etc) and then still manage to put out an incredible fic and go ‘sorry this was 0.394838373 seconds late guys :(‘

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will go ‘love writing!’ and then don’t write for 10 years

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

anyway i love writing and i love writers

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

now hold on a goddamned second

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will complain about this post while continuing to not write

The Ineffables x The Arrow Collar, in the style of JC Leyendecker, of course.

I’ve officially ran out of brilliantine...

P. S. ‪If you take a moment to read the advert, you’ll find the description of Crowley’s collar is much more flashy than Aziraphale’s. ;D‬

It's a week till Purim so I want to know:

Do You know what Purim is?

Yes I know exactly what it is (I'm Jewish)

Yes I know exactly what it is (I'm not Jewish)

I have a pretty good idea, but don't know all that I should (Jewish)

I have a pretty good idea, but don't know all that I should (not Jewish)

I know its a Jewish holiday but not much/nothing else

I've heard the word before but didn't know it was Jewish

I've never heard of this before this poll.

Voting ended onMar 6, 2023

as always reblog widely so we can see how Purim aware Tumblr is.

Just thinking about the @guardian Tumblr. Untouched since 2019, like the tomb of the pharaohs. Did the person with the password leave? Did the person at the Guardian who knew that the Guardian had a Tumblr get sent off on a journalistic mission from which they never returned? In years to come will people on Tumblr examine the @Guardian site to try and reconstruct how mainstream media outlets existed on social media in the trump years?

I hope someone appreciates this as at least 3 decent writing prompts.

I managed to lose the blog, and the entry. Brain fog is a muhfuggah.
