me being mutuals with someone but not talking to them is the same as a cat existing in the same room as a person and considers it socializing. me liking and reblogging posts is like the cat purring

genuinely i don’t think it’s possible to easily explain the explicit part of online friendships to people who don’t Understand. i don’t mean like, explicit in the sense of “oh you’re sexting” or whatever. no. i mean when you and your friend start gleefully making up explicit sexual scenarios for your shared blorbos and you get giddier and giddier as you add more detail and you’ll be grinning at your screen as you type away at mach speeds. and it’s entirely nonsexual in an interpersonal sense, you’re not really getting Into it, but ohhhhh it’s soooooo fun and satisfying. and you can NEVER tell someone who doesn’t also do this that your mood is actively improved like fivefold because you and your friend played Sexual Tuoys together because they’ll go “what the FUCK.”

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 truly truly believe that the most important thing you can do in fandom is be a cheerleader. comment on fics. reblog art and rave in the tags. support the people making the things you want to see. this is how you keep a fandom alive. this is how you get more of what you want. you never know: that person could have decided to make more just because you liked it.

the thing about heavy handed symbolism is that sometimes. it's fun.

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

Please keep making art. Please make it for yourself. Please don’t let everything become even more of the same flat general appeal nonsense that doesn’t seem to have anything to say

[nihilnovisubsole]

do you ever find yourself bedeviled by writing ideas that are the equivalent of finding a single carrot in your fridge. your brain goes "we should write a pirate story" or "we should write a parisian thief caper" and you ask, "all right, what do we cook with that, then?" and it says "no other ingredients (:"

maybe that's too fluffy but I keep thinking of an AU where Teddy has to raise Danny. they just have the perfect estranged-sibling age gap 😭 I'm thinking of their season-1-ish ages with Teddy in his twenties and Danny in primary school. I don't know how this works with the backstory like who on Earth dug up info on Teddy existing and what about Danny's mom. I just have the Vision of young single parent with unresolved daddy issues who is also struggling with an immigrant language barrier except he can't even use the kid as a translator because the kid doesn't know Spanish, either 😭 I don't know.

guys Hear Me Out

Teddy starts working at a hotel bc like he doesn't have too many transferable skills. and there he notices this ridiculously pretty guy who only comes in at random times and Teddy's spidey sense for suspicious activity tingles a bit but When Did That Ever Stop Us. Teddy is googling ways to flirt in English while the new director of the Night Owls Unit is fruitlessly pretending in front of his team there is no pattern in ground assignments at which hotel he takes in person. and I finally get to write shit about hotels 😌

[I realise in the current version I walked myself into a backstory corner which means that when Teddy allows Jonathan and Danny to meet Danny's gonna go like, "Dios mío, Teddy, how do you know Roper's friend? Hi, Thomas!"]
