Hi there! I'm SomeStoryWriter from FanFiction and AO3. Have a beautiful day! | Buy me a coffee!

*dust off cobwebs*

...Hi

[somestorywriter]

Oof it's been forever. Anyone still here? Everyone doing well?

[transgang-deactivated20201105]

people apparently think rubber bullets aren't dangerous or something. they're bullets with a thin rubber coating, they're generally not, as some seem to believe, bullets made from rubber. they've got the capacity to seriously injure and kill. there is nothing nonviolent or lenient about rubber bullets.

[kymeira]

Evidence for anyone doubting this: a photographer in Minneapolis is now blind in one eye from a suspected rubber bullet.

[gaycism]

they aim at your eyes on purpose.

[elisamaza]

important addition:

[soupscold]

hey! in the midst of all this, spreading this information could potentially save LOTS of folks out there in protest! it costs Absolutely NOTHING to share. the original thread is on Twitter by strwbrrymew. the link to the thread is here, it contains more important information to note, including a video about how to do a proper eye flush should someone be teargassed.

[soupscold]

Adding on to this as I've found more resources.

[perstona420]

also bring an extra face mask to swap if yours starts to get irritating during chemical instigation from police!

[smitethestate]

All of this applies even if you weren’t right in the middle of a tear gas cloud. That stuff hangs on the air and gets on everything. I did not get hit directly with tear gas yesterday but I wasn’t thinking at one point and I rubbed my eye and OUCH. Luckily I had a large bottle of cold water to wash it out and that was very effective. 

[somestorywriter]

What are some discords you are on?

Oof I'm on many discords but I've been ghosting most of them... I'm in a RoChu server, a Hetalia Ask Blog server, an APH Female Nations server, and also a Yuri! on Ice one.

I can't be everywhere at once, so I've recently been active mostly on some original fiction servers, since that is what my current project falls into.

If only there were more hours in a day lol, I miss the shipping

[ellvswriting-deactivated2021010]

[toadpeee]

“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.

[i-wear-the-cheese]

This articulates something about the different between value and validation that I didn’t previously register on a conscious level.

[captive-hetalian-moving]

Flight attendant: Now before we take off, please make sure all small items are secured.

Russia: *staring at China*

China: What.

Russia: *whispering* Do you feel safe?

China: I will HIT you.

[concerningwolves]

I feel like fandom generations are both very specific and easily conflated. Like,, you either live through so many they blur together into one hellish mess or you join in on one generation and remain blissfully unaware of the previous ones

[concerningwolves]

 Trekkster Gods 

No internet

fledgeling fandom 

women run everything 

seriously where the fuck did we go wrong 

fandom wouldn’t exist as we know it without these women

conventions, badges, quite a lot of taboo but also lots of fun

closely-knit communities

mostly discussions in magazines 

hogging the phone so you can chat with your friends 

(while trying to pretend the rest of your family doesn’t exist)

basement meetings 

fanart what??

Dawn of Networking 

tin-bucket sites and forums 

the badly assembled DIY IKEA kits of the internet

these were strange places 

i’m too young to know firsthand but I’ve heard the stories

they were like,, inhabited by eldrich beings

 who would sell souls in exchange for fanfics

early RPs

nobody was quite sure what they were doing

but!! You could connect with more fans quickly!!! 

made obsessing less lonely

yay

“I was there Gandalf”

Live Journal 

small internet communities  

the name “Ann Rice” strikes fear into your heart 

also hatred, lots of hatred 

adding every warning and rating under the sun, hiding behind NSFW filters even if it isn’t necessary, praying you don’t get reported or deleted

you get reported

your friends get reported 

nobody is safe

fuck.

Citrus Cheesecake 

DeviantArt and ff.net 

bright shiny eyes

children everywhere 

“more of a lime than a lemon >//< but also kind of just a lemon with fluff?” 

where did all the adults go? Where were they hiding??

pls don’t flame

A/N *dances away from your flames because idgaf*

omggg such a nosebleed!!!! XD lol

characters and authors having conversations in the author’s notes

Archive of Our Saviours

ooo we found the adults

mass migration by younger fans to Tumblr, Ao3 etc 

looking at fandom’s earlier stages like “I have no memory of this place”

ratings that had nothing to do with fruit 

(thank gods)

fandom grows up 

we are all grateful 

we have proper websites to call home

wanderers can finally settle down

many fans are Tired

We’re here again, Gandalf

your elbows are explicit 

cats are explicit

there are legends of a paradise of pillows 

but none of us wants to leave hell 

blue blue blue 

a well-respected petblr is flagged as explicit 

will we be here in January? 

who will survive? 

those with sense watch the chaos from Ao3, sipping mocktails

but we’re not really scared

nothing can kill fandom 

not even god. 

[vaspider]

Tag your era. :P

[kaylabow]

Broke: China is a father figure bc he’s old

Woke: China smashed all the ancient nations so he’s everyones stepdad

[chessna2]

Russia: Yao, I’m breaking up with you.

China: You can’t break up with your eternal boyfriend.

Russia: My wha–?

China: -pulls out white board filled charts and numbers-

China: As you can see by these records, you have declared your undying love for me at least once a year since the 16th century.

Russia: What the— you keep RECORDS!?!

China: Thus the court concludes that you are my eternal boyfriend, and therefore physically cannot break up with me.

Russia: That calendar doesn’t even go back that far!!

China: -pulls string and more paper rolls out across the floor ending in the year 1500-

Russia: Well shit.

[valtsv]

i can’t talk shit about the pirates of the caribbean films as if elizabeth swann becoming pirate king didn’t hand my entire ass to me and make me the gay i am today

[valtsv]

these 2 looks basically defined my sexuality and i’m not afraid to admit it

[valtsv]

things pirates of the caribbean got right:

1. will and elizabeth’s love story

2. elizabeth becoming pirate king

3. avoiding sexualizing elizabeth or the other female pirate characters in the first 3 films by allowing them to wear period-accurate pirate outfits that aren’t tailored to be revealing and impractical for ‘sex appeal’ just because they’re women

4. hans zimmer’s entire score but especially the iconic ‘he’s a pirate’ main theme

[prismatic-bell]

5. When the movie came out, morally-gray characters like Jack were actually not really a thing yet in pop culture, and it’s not Pirates’ fault that there are a ton of stupid shitty copycats out there.

6. I run a corseting panel at cons and literally use Elizabeth’s lace-up scene as a video clip of what historical corseting was actually like, because the only thing they got wrong in this scene is that tightlacing wouldn’t be a thing for about another 200 years (and you couldn’t tightlace with the corset style Elizabeth is wearing anyway). It’s one of the most accurate corseting scenes I’ve ever seen.

7. Will’s hat.

8. That scene with all the pirates on the gallows where that little boy starts singing Hoist the Colours? Yeah, that’s fucking legendary. The rest of AWE was kind of a trash fire, but that scene gave me goosebumps.

9. There’s this great shot in the first one where they really drive home the class differences inherent in this time period by having the governor talking about progress and civilization to Elizabeth in their carriage, and then they cut to a shot outside the carriage where a beggar gets splashed by mud from the wheel. It’s a perfect way to underline that everything is not, in fact, a nice little upper-class fairytale, and to give some weight to Will’s storyline, because he has a lot more in common with that beggar than with the governor.

10. For its time, the CGI was fucking amazing.

11. And let’s not forget the work of the makeup department, which had to actually invent new ways of putting on makeup for this movie.

12. The governor’s death scene. Holy shit.

13. They could have gone with a Jack/Will/Elizabeth love triangle, but they didn’t. There are some hints Jack is in love (or at least in lust) with Elizabeth, but he recognizes that she loves Will, and that’s that.

14. You’ve got to admit that wedding was unique.

[math-is-magic]

15. The introduction of fantasy elements to historical fiction outside of Tolkein-esque fantasy, and how it contributed to and expanded the Fantasy Media boom we’re still enjoying today.
