we are about to enter a darejones renaissance the likes of which we would have been bamboozled by in 2014 and no one is ready like me

If the end of the story is unsatisfactory, I could recreate it by myself. This is the meaning of fandom.💪

Hope you will have resonance.

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

[edwardcreel]

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

steve "i'll never leave" rogers and tony "nevermind" stark

Shipping stevetony is good because there’s always the chance that one day the comics might start bombing so hard on a commercial level that some insane coked-up writer will pitch the idea of captain America and iron man fucking eachother in order to to drum up some press attention, and they’ll actually agree to it out of sheer desperation. You literally never know.

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

[seven-oh-four]

[teaboot]

I WANTED TO FINISH READING IT FIRST

You can love Tony all you want, but you’ll never love him more than Steve. 😭🫶

Damn we got mid-air cuddling in this bitch

-Steve Rogers, probably.

YES, ik actors don't technically count when shipping characters, but RDJ and Chris Evans are too good for this world. 🙏
