the symphony true

A bit of white collar fanfiction and the ramblings of a restless mind. "After the dazzle of day is gone, Only the dark, dark night shows to my eyes the stars; After the clangor of organ majestic, or chorus, or perfect band, Silent, athwart my soul, moves the symphony true." -WW

Hi! :)

I love to write White Collar fanfiction! All my fics can be found here (and yes, they are almost ALL White Collar right now 😂🙈😅):

My fics on Ao3

Besides writing about my favorite WC boys, I love to read and sing (occasionally). You’ll mostly see White Collar around here with a sprinkling of other shows/movies/books I love.

I may be an introvert but I love to connect with other humans via writing so don’t be afraid to say hi! ❤️

Oh and here is my White Collar inspired original song: (vague spoilers)

“Where I Cannot Follow”

Love that Ryland Grace is the opposite of so many male protagonist "heroes" in media and yet he's still so incredibly brave, resilient, and strong. That flimsy little science teacher saves the day.

But he also,

Throws fits when things don't go his way. Not a "I'm a bad bitch" destroying everything-type fit, but tossing a trash can, breaking a screen-type fit.

Cries. A lot.

Pleads. He begs.

Doesn't answer the call to action.

Shows weakness. Being a coward and being fearful are two things he defines himself with.

Doesn't end up with the girl. In fact, that girl isn't even interested and he isn't, either.

Cherishes friendship over a romantic plot or something stereotypically brave like, "I'm going to save Rocky so I can save his world." No, he wants to save his friend, first and foremost.

Squeaks. He squeals. He screams, loudly and very high pitched. He whines. He complains. He physically struggles to open a jar. He's clumsy as hell. He makes some of the least graceful noises one can make.

Is not afraid to be the primitive species lowkey.

I love him and everything he stands for as a male protagonist. Men need to know that they can be just like Ryland Grace and still be just as much of a hero and a man.

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

love the phrase "but I digress." yes I temporarily got lost in the moors I wander in my mind but don't worry I'm self-aware about it

'yoko told his [john's] biographer philip norman, "john said that no one ever hurt him the way paul hurt him."'

john drunkenly sang yesterday once, 'john gets the words wrong, and replaces 'she' with 'he': why he had to go, i don't know, he wouldn't say...'

'what he [paul] didn't quite see is that john wanted an acknowledgement of love, since love and trust were for him almost synonymous. of course, neither of them could say so. in 'in my life', john told paul just how much their shared history, and shared present, meant to him. the visor was down, and i doubt paul even noticed '

quotes from 'john & paul, a love story in songs' by ian leslie.

[inthetags]

reblog and put in the tags the real reason you joined tumblr no matter how horrible or embarrassing it is

[laylainalaska]

Incredibly random question I was wondering about tonight. When you see "prev" - as in "prev tags" in a tag or post, how do you pronounce or hear it in your head?

How do you hear "prev" in your head?

"prevv" (short E as in "Edward")

"preev" (long E as in "Eel")

Something else entirely

I don't hear it at all, wtf

Don't know/bald/contains vanilla flavoring/see results

Feel free to reblog for more responses!

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

no because the entire movie is about connection. beyond the sun dying, beyond solving the mystery, beyond any of it, the story is about connection. whether it's the red string of fate connecting planets, stars, aliens together, or rainbows that have two ends. you don't have a partner you don't even have a dog except he's more connected than anyone else, he's more connected than he was even written to be because those scenes of genuine friendship and connection weren't there until the actors played off one another so well that it grew organically and made its way on-screen, like Carl's part being greatly expanded or James ultimately being the voice of Rocky or Sandra having a karaoke scene that gives Stratt this incredible layer of humanity and nuance. Ryland Grace makes a connection with every person he interacts with and he was truly the best and only person who could have connected to an alien race and saved not just both planets but also himself. Ryland Grace makes everyone more human just by being himself

but you don't have a partner you don't even have a dog.

okay.
