Tragic Hero Thrawn Truther

Proud Thranto and Reylo shipper. Just a bunch of random post about Star Wars and whatever else because I don't have a life. DNI if you have a DNI /hj If you hate someone for existing or liking a character/ship/plot etc. that you’re not a fan of, get a life.

I do not play about Taylor swift, you shade her one time you are blocked even if we’ve been mutuals for a long time. Bye bye.

I’m not Christian, I don’t go to church anymore, and my pastor died, but when he was alive I’d sometimes go to his sermons and I remember one time he said “it feels good to hate, but we know that it isn’t allowed, so when we’re told that we’re allowed to hate someone we get so excited that we forget we’re supposed to love”, and if my humble atheist ass might borrow some church talk I’d like to perhaps submit that

[teaboot]

Anyhow sometimes on the day to day I feel disgust or revulsion and I have to ask myself “is this a danger to anyone at all or am I just looking for something I’m allowed to hate” and a solid 98/100 times it’s the latter so once again thank you pastor D

Some more sweet bangers from Pastor D

Following the rules of the church are less important than following the attitudes Jesus exemplified [in a debate about if it would be okay to break traditional rules and give the leftover loaf of communion bread to a hungry and poor attendee]

Don’t get so caught up in observing ceremonies and following traditions that you forget why they started to begin with

The words you use aren’t as important as what you mean when you use them [new kid was somehow wildly confused about his name and started respectfully calling him Batman]

New chapter of my magnum opus. I hope you like it.

[epitome-of-an-openbook]

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

Legit, getting a subscription on a fic I'd abandoned 10 years earlier spurred me into action to finish it (and write a sequel!)

[epitome-of-an-openbook]

#The journey of reading a fic while it's updating is part of the fun!

Yes exactly this! I love subscribing to fics forgetting about them a bit and then being pleasantly surprised when they update again and they show up in my inbox. It makes me feel like I'm a Charles Dickens fan living in 1830s London waiting patiently for his new chapter to be released via the daily paper.

[greenleaf4stuff]

100% agreeing with this, both from the reader and the writer side of things.

I am still endlessly grateful that, when I spontaneously started writing and posting a multi-chapter fic without knowing if I would even get to finish it, people stuck by me and cheered me on as I did. I credit them with helping me to finish that fic (and writing a sequel plus additional fics). It was pivotal not just for that one fic, but my writing in general, giving me the conviction that I can finish longer fics if I put my mind to it. If I didn't have that interaction, that encouragement, I might have lost motivation and interest - and as a consequence, not grown as a writer the way I got to. All thanks to some kind people.

And same as a reader: I have read multiple unfinished fics that have stuck with me even years later. Do I mourn that they will likely never get finished? Yes. Would I rather those chapters and pieces never saw the light of day in the first place? Absolutely fucking not. Some of them are the only works for a ship I enjoyed, or had exceptional ideas, or character dynamics that influenced my own writing, or still make me ponder how they might have ended, thereby helping me think of how to finish my own stories.

Of course, everyone has their own tastes, nobody is required to read unfinished or abandoned works, but I think I personally would have done myself a disservice if I didn't. And therefore highly encourage others to give that a chance, too.

You might just make a difference in someone finishing a fic if you do.

It always kinda surprises me to see that DinLuke is still popular.

No tea no shade obviously, I (mostly) still ship it myself. But I guess I had assumed that most people fled to greener pastures after The Incident. I guess it speaks to people’s persistence (or ignorance) that they’re able to carry on after That.

Though, tbf maybe It wasn’t as large scale to the majority of the fandom as it was for me. So 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hate it when people say something factually incorrect. Just… don’t do that? Google is free.

If I ever say something wrong, I’ll correct myself as soon as I get the new information. Other people double down for some reason and I do not get it.

I think it's hilarious that hands down the worst way to learn magic is the actual rulebook. Please do not read that. It's just there for reference when something weird happens
