I watched Fly Me To The Moon recently and it was an enjoyable movie. Knowing the original cast was supposed to have been Chris Evans opposite Scarlett Johansson though, I have to come to Tumblr and ask: where is the 1960s NASA AU Romanogers fanfic that inspired this move? Because seriously, if Evans had been the other lead, this would have been the perfect fanfic came to life on the big screen.

the problem with being creative is that you start to feel very guilty when you haven’t created anything in a while

Going to library to study see crush.

Guilty peeps raise your hands!! 😂🤣

For prompt "Library" from @dailytwiyorprompts

The books on first panel are ones that I've read 😆😆. Are you familiar with these titles? My favorites are Pride and Prejudice and d'Artagnan romances ( 3 musketeers - ten years later). Most of these books, I've read them by downloading pdfs from Project Gutenberg. If you can't get your hands on physical copies, I strongly recommend this website.

As for the Jane Austen book that Loid is reading, it's the one that's been waiting for me for a very long time. I bought a copy about a year ago and still haven't read it 🥲😅😅

I'll reblog this later with complete review of the books through my main blog 😉 hope this made you smile.

Ps.: This really looked like something straight out from kdrama 😂🤣. Kdramas make good inspiration and reference for me 😂😂

Fandom is not uniquely toxic compared to the past.

I see a lot of people like "oh fandom used to be-!" but I'm here to tell you that no: it didn't. Look at one of the great Harry Potter wanks for examples: MsScribe made multiple sockpuppet accounts to bash a ship she didn't like, and to stir drama about what would now be called "purity wank." The war between Harry/Hermione and Hermione/Ron shippers was so fierce that entire websites rose and fell according to the tides of battle.

I remember fierce struggles between the original "shippers" (Mulder/Scully) and "noromos" (anti-shippers) in X-Files fandom in the nineties. I've gotten "flames" (harassment) for "making characters gay" in the Stargate and LotR fandoms. Sporking used to be a thing, for gods' sakes!

Fandom has always had toxicity, and the levels/flavor of that toxicity has been different depending on what fandom you've been in, but the general level of wank has not seen a steep increase over time, imo.

If you think there's been an increase:

You may have previously been in fandoms / pockets of fandom with a low level of toxicity, and either it changed over time or you moved to a fandom with a higher level of toxicity;

You may have not noticed toxicity because you were in the popular crowd, or bc toxicity was mostly directed outward from the groups you were in;

The subject of toxicity changed from topics you could brush off / dismiss / ignore (or was even the type of toxicity you "agreed" with or thought was "justified") to subjects that actively made you uncomfortable;

You just weren't aware of extant toxicity before and you are now (either bc of inexperience/naivete or bc nobody you knew was targeted, and that's changed now).

But to reiterate: the proportion of toxicity in fandom has not changed. Fandom has gotten bigger overall so there are more wankers than before, but the percentage of wankers and harassers haven't changed. And the tools/verbage they used may change, but the underlying nastiness hasn't increased.

Do not buy into the narrative that fandom was better in The Beforetimes - I've been in fandom over 25 years, and I'm telling you it wasn't. "Make Fandom Great Again" is a poisonous narrative used to appeal to your vulnerabilities. Challenge it, fight it, and figure out what you want from fandom while looking forward, not looking back.

The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?

Do you have too many WIPs? Do you want to clear some of them out?

It's easy to start a new WIP but not so easy to go beyond that. This is a periodic reminder that not everything needs to be finished. It's also a reminder that sometimes you can go back to an old WIP with fresh eyes and what was once impossible to write now seems easy.

Choose one of your WIPs and try these steps to see if you can clear it out.

Before you open it or reread it:

How does this work make me feel?

Why did I stop writing it?

Do I want to open this document and reread it?

Why is this work still lingering in my "to do" pile?

Delete or abandon or orphan or give away any WIPs that you don't actually want to write.

After you open it or reread it:

How does this work make me feel?

Can I identify the problem I had or the reason I was stuck or why I lost my motivation?

Do I know what needs to happen next (or later in the story)?

Will a time jump or skipping scenes help?

Can I write a disconnected scene that interests me right now?

Can I write a transition?

Can I edit what is already there and make it easier for me to move past my block?

Do I want to do any of the above, or would I rather abandon this work?

Do this for 1 WIP or for all of them or something in between. Any works that are still in progress, you can either continue working on actively or put away until your next review. Any that you don't actually want to write, you can delete or abandon or orphan or give away.

Note: If you are writing for a fandom event, contact the organizers and let them know that you won't be able to complete your work. Events usually have authors lined up who are willing to "pitch hit" and complete a work if the original creator isn't able to.

Okay, all those who do not accept Henry Tilney Supremacy, so in this chapter we learn that Henry was sent ahead by his father to find lodgings (which makes sense because we later learn the General is super picky). So Henry comes to Bath for a few days we can assume to look at places, and what does he do in the evening? He attends a ball. And what does he do at that ball? He asks the master of ceremonies to introduce him to a girl who isn't dancing and then is just so freaking friendly and charming.

What do you want women? Do you want a man who was dragged to a ball, is so profoundly rude that people don't even care how wealthy he is, and then calls you "tolerable"? Or do you want a man who goes to a ball by himself, for fun, and then does a comedy bit on the spot, requests that you write about him favourably in your diary, and then discusses fabric washing with your chaperone?

I know what I'm picking!
