The new fuck/marry/kill game: Trapper, BJ, Margaret

oh so good i want to choose marg for all of them

slowburn- margaret (the yearning)

fake date- i mean it would be so fun to fake date trapper but im going to say bj because it would be funny

enemies to lovers- i cant see how me and trap would be enemies but like rival sluts who fight over all the nurses (i win) and its tension >:)

Gotta do it: slow burn/fake date/enemies to lovers: Anne, Jack, Max

OH MY GOD thank youuuuuu this is amazing!!! Anne: Fake dating but in it's most a n g r y iteration possible like she would be pissed off at me ALL THE TIME and I would be terrified of her 93% of the time and it would horrible and i would love it. we might not even date for real in the end, but the real treasure would be the deep psychic trauma we made along the way. basically i just wanna be jack i guess Jack: Enemies to lovers - I think Jack and I are similar enough clever dumbasses with a self-destructive performative streak and I can really see us trying to outmaneuver each other with dramatic bitchiness until we become literal enemies and I think that would be be a good time. More of a friends to enemies to lovers arc. Max: Slow burn - listen I know everyone hates lesbian period dramas these days or something, but I would absolutely sign some deal with the devil to just be making yearning eyes at Max across a fancy dining table or some shit like that, where do I sign up

as ive spent more time on this site i see more and more people asking for commissions and talking about how fanfic writers need to get paid and its ridiculous that nobody pays them and its such a wild departure from the days when all fics started with a disclaimer about how "this work is completely separate from the canon and i am not making any money off of this work" and its geniunely unnerving

I know! I think it’s an age thing..? Like people who didn’t live through the disclaimer era, or the “works from XYZ author not permitted on FF.net” era, or even the JKR vs Lexicon Dude era and have instead been immersed in the ko-fi/Patreon/”content creators” on Youtube/Twitch/etc making full careers off of it have lost sight of the fact that fic is like... really... not... something that should be monetized. 

I’ve seen a lot of complaints about AO3 and some of them hold more weight to me than others but “Ao3 doesn’t want its authors to be paid” is WILD, it’s fanfiction, it has to be free, that is the whole point.

your back to the future tag on that reblog had me thinking about that john mulaney bit on the plot of BttF where hes like "oh i see, he's gonna go back in time and stop the kennedy assasination!"..."oh we didn't think about that. Well we thought it'd be funny if he went back in time and tried to fuck his mom!" and it's like diego is that entire joke but the exact opposite

oh, shit... you’re right. i’m gonna think about this all day lol

Dude god fucking bless your Ben/bev post because I’m fucking tired of all the like “wow Eddie died and now the Straights are just making out” like that relationship developed beautifully and important to two characters with their own troubles and trauma and was Never what they make it out to be

reducing ben/beverly to “just another straight relationship” just demonstrates how little some people care about losers that aren’t richie or eddie. you could definitely argue that the way the scene was handled wasn’t the best and i’m sure there’s debates on how making richie canonically gay makes eddie’s death a lot more offensive, but your problems lie with stephen king/andy, not the woman that’s been abused her whole life finally finding love and safety.

I am SO happy you mentioned GoT in that response because even though I really don’t like that show, there were moments (especially in the s3 finale) that I was like... is this like game of thrones??? I was surprised at how much I loved that finale, I am SO excited for the rest of the show!!! I feel like they’ve done so much but they still have so much to do. (Also, that part with Soren at the end??? Holy shit. I couldn’t believe it)

it just does such a good job balancing everything and the finale honestly could have been a decent series finale (thank goodness it wasn’t) because it was so well built up, and then it delivered, like i genuinely got so worked up at parts SPEAKING OF WHICH, let’s talk about that moment with Soren, actually let’s discuss that entire damn family, because there’s so much to unpack there - i’m so happy there’s more coming so we can see how that all plays out

(1/2) Not a theory for s4 because the duffers do not and will not listen to me but i think it'd be interesting for steve to step in as the de-facto parent of the group (NOT in the whole "mom steve" bit he's been pushed into before) but more like "okay well mrs byers is gone and hoppers dead? but things are still shitty and um i can try to take care of things" and just generally does not a great job but at least /tries/ to be a leader until he happily relinquishes control again when the adults

cont: get back. I really don't think steve is meant to be the head of any group (his best trait has continuously been protecting and saving other people so they can do the real work) but i think it'd be admirable to see him try, since he still wants to be helpful. he's not a total idiot, and he at least knows how to delegate and let other people share their strengths, and i just really think they could should off some of his actual good qualities besides getting pummeled half to death

i was actually gonna mention the fact that there are no adults left in hawkins who know the truth of things in my own steve post, but i wasn’t really sure how that tied in with my desires for his arc in s4 so i left it out. the fact that steve is literally now the oldest person in hawkins and the Only legal adult they can go to is definitely interesting!! i’m assuming that robin and nancy are still 17 in this scenario but the fact remains that steve is the only one of them with a car now which is also... interesting. steve has a Lot of potential and i agree, i really hope that they show off what he can do that isn’t getting beaten up

LES MIS MODERN AU — broship aesthetics: marius & joly

cinnamon and sugar, spiralling worries, talking to yourself out loud, cactus plants on the windowsill, cardigans and striped sweaters, rambling to each other, not being ashamed of being emotional, pocket tissues and umbrellas, cosy evenings in, the first signs of autumn, fidgeting fingers, goofy grins, fretting about your friends, reading glasses, petting cats, constant allergies.
