Colin being protective of Pen (ft. some jealousy)

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

hope this explains it

touch-starvation needs to be written with emphasis on the starving part. you are hungry to be touched. so hungry that even the very taste of it makes you nauseous. it has been long since anything has ever touched you, ever fed you - that your body has grown more used to that gnawing emptiness more than anything else. it's better for you to be held, to eat but it makes you sick to try. you know

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

a comic i made is being sold on a shelf at my favorite cb store as of today and this post is still my biggest accomplishment of the day

This headcanon guide, if understood, would also reduce the Asks I get by about half.

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol 

[sazandorable]

a short selection of concepts and phrases that used to be commonplace in fandom and we’d really benefit from making that a thing again:

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

(definitions lifted more or less wholesale from fanlore’s relevant pages)

bring the healthy fun back to fandom!

Polin In The Season 3 Part 2 Trailer

Colin Bridgerton is not a rake.

I don't even go here, but seeing all the 'Rake Colin' discourse is driving me nuts.

A rake was a womanizer. Someone who intentionally seduced innocent young women or got into sexual relationships with women and then refused to do right by them before going off to do the same thing with other women. Like what Anthony did to that actress in S1.

A man visiting a brothel was NOT being a rake. That was just a man visiting sex workers to get his needs met. Not exactly respectable, but a normal aspect of society life for single men. The way Colin behaves with the prostitutes as well as with people in general, even his own family, is just a facade he has put on to protect his true self. He spent the first two seasons being dunked on by everyone for being a romantic, boring virgin. Everyone except Penelope. And it is only with Penelope that Colin can be his true self, for she never judges or ridicules him.

I get why some people wanted Colin to remain an idealistic virgin, but I think that Colin actually getting some experience in this area was what finally helped him start to (respectfully) sexualize Penelope. She wasn't just his sweet girlish friend anymore. She was an attractive, appealing woman, something Colin started to notice and visibly react to long before she asked him to kiss her.

Stop calling him a rake.

Colin Bridgerton: not one for wasting time.
