“I read this fic you recommended. I read it because of you” is a love language

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

this is true and all. but also never stop talking about your ship because if it’s what makes you happy then you can and should talk about it for yourself and your own enjoyment too.

there’s nothing wrong with the tweet in the screenshot, but I feel like we’ve forgotten that shipping and fandom are first and foremost for ourselves and our own enjoyment, not if the ship is popular or if there’re enough people shipping it.

just have fun. fandom and shipping is about yourself and your own enjoyment.

i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.

shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3

I have so much fondness for the way Violet and Eloise pushed Francesca into Michaela's arms when she hesitated over her invitation to dance. Their absolute trust that she'll be in good hands. They've been caring for Francesca with steadfast devotion and have watched Michaela do the same: never leaving her side at the funeral. The outrage in her eyes as strangers offered empty words while Francesca tried not to lose her mind with grief. And now, somehow, Michaela is even making Francesca laugh. Not a light or easy one, but the laugh of someone who is breathing again after spending too many seconds underwater

Yes I need to be reassured one million times or I'll overthink myself to death.

[liones-s]

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

Just because you wanted to dye your hair blonde after seeing Caroline Forbes doesn’t mean Leah Pipes did too, girlie pretty much always wore her hair in shades of blonde (and still does) and therefore Cami O’Connell was blonde.

They cast a blonde because a blonde won the chemistry test (yes, Joseph Morgan had a chemistry test with the actors auditioning for Cami because guess what, Cami was always supposed to be Klaus’s love interest on TO), and that blonde was the best female performer on that show, with only Claudia Black (Dahlia) probably being a competition (yet the material Leah delivered was obviously way more layered and versatile given her tenure on the show).

If you wanna go on a meta level and insist Klaus had a subconscious pull towards blondes, the origin of that would be his mother and sister Rebekah who were both blondes, not a teenager he met in MF at 1000 years of age. But let’s be real, he has gone for women of all hair colours and actually does not seem to have a fixation on phenotypes.

If you want to think from a studio perspective, CW shows tended to have some diversity in the hair colours of series regulars. Claire Holt joined the show at the last moment and was still planning to leave after half a season. Phoebe Tonkin and Daniella Pineda and Danielle Campbell were all brunettes. For visual diversity it might be preferable for some regular characters to not have dark hair and Klaus and Cami were those characters (we see this in TVD itself, there is a reason they made Caroline herself blonde even though she wasn’t in the books, after deciding to go for a brunette actress for Elena, this exists in Gossip Girl, in Buffy, in plenty of other shows).

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

[scribe-cas]

Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"

wdym i get Franchaela AND i dont have to watch Eloise love a man next season.....

the winner takes it all

[slightly-ditzy]

for the ask game: me, also me but I'm tall, third me but I'm in a trench coat and if you knock me over the other two are under there too

This is my favorite one from all the asks for this game.

If you expected me to marry Tall you, you were wrong. I think you once mentioned your height and I realized I'm taller than you, so naturally, I'm going to marry normal you, because I want to experience what it's like being the tall one in a relationship. (Also, you don't have to change anything about yourself for me to want to marry you <3).

Tall you will be my best friend. I'm thinking you'll only be slightly annoying about the difference between our heights, but besides that, I'm going to keep you with me forever because I love you.

You in a trench coat is obviously my sister because where else would you get the trench coat from?? That's also why i knocked you over 🫶🏼.

Sorry for the late response 😞.
