I relate to this so much! I too occasionally find myself wondering what the original reactions of classic stories were like.

“no matter how badly you think you’re doing it, someone else has done it a lot worse and been fine” is applicable to a wide, wide range of things and i say it to myself all the time

My favorite frequency of fic updates is whenever the fuck the author is ready to post it.

This shit is FREE, guys. The fact that people demand anything from fic writers is a testament to how fucking entitled people act when it comes to art in any medium.

If you have a problem, then write your own shit- and if you can't do that, then shut the fuck up.

It's so easy not to be a fucking dickhead.

best knockout line from The Game of Kings

“You put me in purgatory, and you are offering me hell.”

“Someone of your own is here.”

The odd thing was that Lymond believed him without question.

“Yes. I am responsible.”

there are several more that utterly kill me, personally, but these four do it the most. 😭

please share your own!

context for lines:

Lymond’s response to Margaret’s “I offered you freedom and security—” I remember it jolting me into my first understandings of what was at stake for him.

Lymond’s words to Christian as he arrives at her deathbed. She thought she was going to die with no one of her own! It’s the first time they’ve spoken to each other since he learned that she knows how much he is one of her own! And the last.

“Listen. You’re not going to Edinburgh. You’re not going to prison, or the gallows. I’m here to help you. You’re going to be free.” 😭 life-changing for the reader and the brothers. WITHOUT QUESTION. Without question!

“The deaths of four nuns and ten girls within the convent, including the death of Eloise Crawford, your sister, are your responsibility?” This moment at the trial would kill me even if it wasn’t such a perfect and gutting culmination of previous and future themes.

runners up: “God, Francis had screamed.” “Richard Crawford was a very stubborn man.” “In a lifetime of empty rooms, this was another.” (Also the “five years, even five such as these” one … is anyone sensing a pattern?)

I was always fond of "speak in prose, like a normal person", personally.

Miranda Richardson as Madame Giry

The Phantom of the Opera - 2004

I re found one of my favorite fanfics which I have been re-reading (unfortunately the fic seems to be unfinished. But that's okay because it's really wait enjoyable.) Anyway I loved it then and continue to love it. Thought I'd share it here since it's basically a prequel for my head canon for Phantom (Madame Giry/Erik (Phantom)) if anyone randomly feels like reading it.

The ninth doctor was so insane fr he was like I watched my planet get destroyed and I can't share this trauma with anyone. I will fix this by befriending a human girl and taking her to see her planet get destroyed. This is normal behaviour.

When your friend has so much himbo spirit he rigs himself a gaydar to be a better wingman.

[official-lucifers-child]

It pings off a signal to see other signals that react to the initial ping, a literal gaydar.
