ruining the immersion of my fic by knowing too much about the city one of them plays for because i'm just complaining about where this guy lives (because a northern plyer would not live in london i know where players of that exact team live) and about how he doesn't describe himself as the team but the city even tho there's two teams for that city so it doesn't make sense

[peg-the-empire]

i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33

[awesomebutunpractical]

I am going to clarify that when I say "if your romantic pair would have no appeal as a platonic duo, they're going to fall flat", I'm not necessarily saying they needed to have a pre-existing friendship within the narrative. I'm saying that if you can't pitch the dynamic to me without referring to the fact that they think the other one is hot, they don't have a dynamic, they're just attracted.

[siobhanbooks]

kinda personal kinda random but i need to rant so.....

(below the cut because it got really long)

one of my closest uni friends lives a 35-45 min walk from me and my place is uphill compared to hers (has been for the last 3 places we've lived in in this city)

she only ever wants to meet up when it's convient for her - near her or at hers and will cancel on any plan made to come near mine or to mine (which yes is uphill but i have to walk home that way and besides we live in a very hilly city)

like i've just moved and she was supposed to come to mine today to see the new place and she literally cancelled less than an hour before coming because she's "been ill recently and doesn't want me to get anything" but we've been messaging about it for days and she never mentioned being ill - and now she's asking to meet up in town (right near where she lives) which is a massive trek for me

and like this is so common she always suggests to meet at cafes etc that are like 10 mins from her flat in the opposite direction to mine so i end up walking like nearly an hour to meet her at times even tho there's plenty of places we could meet that works better for both of us

this is an issue i get with a few friends who all have adhd (not a dig at people with adhd but something i've experienced with three people who all have adhd as a commonity) - trying to make plans that always go wrong from them (cancelling last minute or even late - one time i waited an hour for someone to show up before she texted me to cancel) and i end up bending over backwards to make plans that accomdate them to the extreme and yet somehow i still end up being let down and thrown around

i get that adhd is a disability i really do and i feel bad that they struggle with time-keeping etc

BUT it impacts me too and i end up wandering around for ages waiting to see if my friend will show up or getting everything organised just to be cancelled on at the last second

yeah i'm distancing myself from these friends because it's been years with all of them and they don't even attempt to try and cater towards me in anyway and never have done

(also one of these friends is the person i've talked about having anti-immigrant takes in my childhood home paid for by my immigrant dad so things with her are at an all time low)

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

[siobhanbooks]

5 and 22? <33

thank you for the askkkkkk

5. If you believed in it, what would you be reincarnated to?

maybe a sloth??? i don't know anything about the hierarchy of reincarnation etc but i do like being lazy and doing nothing at all

22. Current song on repeat?

the entire discography of 5 seconds of summer and their solo albums....today it's the album CALM on repeat (i can't do just one song because it gets to familiar and then i start thinking again which is bad)

[siobhanbooks]

14 and 18!

thanks for the ask!!

14. What's one thing you own that you're sure no one else has?

....my identity??? i don't really own that much stuff that's not cheaply mass-produced (which is sad for me because i wish i owned more cool indie small business stuff but i'm a broke student lol)

maybe some of the personalised name stuff because siobhan is fairly uncommon and the chance of someone else called siobhan ordering an pink with silver font academic planner from the same etsy shop as me is pretty damn low

18. What is the worst food you've ever had?

the pizza i bought at 3am and then left on my bedroom floor all night and suffered through eating nauseous lol (a mix of hungover nausea and not having eaten nausea)

or gnocchi i hate gnocchi get that away from me i feel ill thinking about it lol

<33333

[hiveswap]

Not attracted to that character i just want him to experience being scared for his life and panicking

[exhuastedpigeon]

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

[siobhanbooks]

hope your move went well!! for the ask game— 2 & 8 💕

thank you!!! it actually wasn't that bad (managed to fit almost my entire life into my dad's car in one go though i did have to walk the thirty mins to my new house because the backseat was full and my parents got priority of the car lol) and now i am slowly unpacking

2. Have you ever started a rumor?

nope! i was very uncool at school so i was not popular enough to start a rumour (this is not unsuprising considering i spent my last year of 'school' (it's different in the uk but final year pre uni) on tumblr whenever i could)

8. Who or what is on your mind?

5 Seconds of Summer

i am literally obsessed with them - i'm constantly either: listening to their music both as a band and their solo stuff; watching their interviews etc on instagram; watching their current tour videos; or watching tiktok edits (it doesn't help that i'm writing a band au with @alexandia03 who also loves 5sos so i have 5sos related band ideas firing at all times)

the imrrick tag @alexandia03

[diary-of-alice]

pro-tip: your blog is about you. be self-indulgent, self-absorbed, and self-possessed. go all in on your obsessions. this is a work of self-expression, a living monument to your heart.

Sometimes I really want to take everyone under the age of 24 (as of 2026) by the shoulders and say:

"I'm really sorry that lockdown and the ongoing pandemic interrupted pivotal educational and social/emotional development moments for you. You have an uphill battle towards adjusting to a lot of community based efforts because you experienced a mass trauma during an incredibly important time in your life where you should have physically been around your peers learning to engage in shared community. There is no "but" here, I'm genuinely really sorry. Something many of us consider key points in our interpersonal growth as youths was taken from you, not without reason but without care for its impact on you. I hope you know we are eternally allies in our struggles and if that is something you struggle to know I hope you can learn it someday."

Because so many of the angriest, most disenfranchised people I see on this website are under 24 and I often try to put younger people's behavior in the context of where they might have been 2020. I've seen the impact on my siblings and their peers+friends first hand, all ages 18-24. We've talked about how its impacted them, the isolation, the attachment to the internet, the anxieties and phobias and fears it developed in them due to the pandemic, the political unrest, and the responses to both that we've seen since. I know they're not the only ones and I know how much being marginalized also influences that impact too.

It's terrifying. I know it must be terrifying for a lot of the young people on Tumblr too. I hope one day we're able to bridge all of those complex feelings into something collective and positive so we can do our best to prevent similar traumas from happening to future generations.

*gently takes your face in my hands* hey. remember that fandom is for fun. if you're not having fun it is ok to step back. if you're intentionally making it unfun for others it is ok to step back. none of this is real. go sit in the sun and smell a flower. i love you.

[siobhanbooks]

special interests coming together

writing a scene for my band au about writing music and also watching interviews of my fave band and their members talking about writing music both solo and as a band as well as instruments

[alexandia03]

This fic has a life of its own and I love how insane it gets by the second. At this point we even have their rooms built in The Sims 4
