Bro my name is not ella i hate when yall authors give readers names like our names is ella pmo 💀

Ella is a nickname used in the story just like they call Yoongi Suga and Namjoon RM.

If you have the reading comprehension skills to fill your own name in when you read “y/n” I’m sure you’re capable of doing the same thing when you read “Ella.” Literacy and critical thinking are super powers when you choose to use them. ❤️

I have sort of a weird question, do you have any thoughts/opinions on RPF that I could use to share with someone who thinks it can be weird & invasive? I'm trying to have a convo with them about it & my brain is coming up short lol. I ask because I swear I saw you reblog something about that not too long ago. Also, no worries if you don't want to!

tell them to kill the cop inside their head. it basically it boils down to this.

the fourth wall exists for a reason*. authors are not linking their archive accounts on their public instagrams and tagging the people involved. and if they are, they're taken out back and shot like dogs. the greater fic community does not tolerate that shit. we keep fic where it belongs - away from the public eye.

real person fanfiction is not real. nothing in these stories (to the best of our knowledge) has happened, is happening, or ever will happen. it is made up. it is a story. it is entertainment. we do not actually think these things are true or want them to happen. i mean, i could take or leave some of them on the actually happening part. some of the fics i have read are phenomenal and very interesting and the worldbuilding is... anyway. but - it's still not real.

why does it matter if something is weird. furries are weird. queer people are weird. metalheads are weird. claymation artists are weird. advanced registered psychiatric nurse practitioners are weird. tumblr users are weird. YOU ARE WEIRD. so fucking what. why do you care that it is weird. kill the cop inside your head and move on.

at the end of the day, people that write and read rpf are just people that like something that you (general) don't. best friend A likes romcoms. i (typically) do not. i like video essays about religion. best friend B does not. i am protestant. best friend C is muslim. rpf is something that separates people that fundamentally does not matter in the grand scheme of things and if your friend is going to make that the hill they die on you need to get better friends, my love. this is one of those things that people in the real world do not care about. i write rpf at work and my coworkers think it's cool and ask me for updates. like. genuinely. no one cares. red white & royal blue started out as rpf and amazon made a movie out of it. so like. come on.

*breaking the 4th wall is what causes most, if not all, of the issues with rpf. people find out there is rpf about them and they get uncomfortable. lock your archive account, moderate comments. make shit undiscoverable, do not tell people you have written something about them, and holy shit do not write rpf about your friends

One of my favorite defensemen. He is such a joy to watch play and I've become such a huge fan of him as a new Wild fan.

Send me a Top 5 Category and I'll give you the five players I think fit it

Can def be NSFW but I'm happy either way

[brandonesutter]

leafs and pens!!

1. My favorite player. 

Nazem K*adri. Because he’s a Good Dude and your husband so I may be biased but ya know. Also, have we all seen his new cat because that helps his case even more tbh.

2. My least favorite player. 

I feel like I don’t know enough about the Leafs roster to choose a least favorite player? (Who should I dislike, Ariya?!)

3. Who I’d want to be friends with. 

Auston M*atthews because he honestly seems like he’d be up for anything and that would be Fun.

4. Who I’d bake cookies for. 

Morgan R*ielly. I don’t even know much about him but I feel like he deserves them the most. HE’S JUST A CHILD TRYING TO BE A GOOD DAD TO HIS TEAM, OKAY? That must be stressful and cookies can only help.

5. Something I find funny about the team.

That come 2022 they’re going to have Sid, PK, Ovi, Stammer, along with a whole host of other Good Players on their team. (You as GM is going to be so fun, Ariya 🙌🏻)

I answered about the Pens here!

if it makes you feel better i'm writing a whole thing about it with stats analysis included, so. you can look forward to that, but you need to thank @seedlessmuffins for convincing me to do it
