the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they'll always be there , but you'll miss when there were still new things for them to say .

for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they're not real anymore because you know everything they're going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man...

[molabuddy]

in this way fanworks are like necromancy

🌈 wanna do something cool with me?

like, cool in the internet sense. because i have compiled all the data and i was right: queer shows are getting canceled twice as often. and earlier, too. we lost HALF of them this year!

i have all the data in a carrd (there's SO MUCH data) and it's kind of shaking out to be like. a legit thesis.

so even if your fave show is returning or finished already, it's still important to know this is going on in our current cultural landscape. and while LGBTQ book bans rise and our rights take hits, we need those messages that queer people deserve to be seen and loved.

i talked with a friend who organizes, and we're gonna make it a cross-fandom hashtag going live on Dec 16. 🥰

if you want to participate, reach out to me via message! anyone is welcome to join in.

even if your fandom is safe, even if you don't have a ton of followers. the goal is to get attention - not just for current rep, but for canceled shows too. it'll be a great opportunity to share why your fave matters to you, too.

stay silly ✌️

edit: idk why i wanted y'all to ask for it, the data is here

I wish i could consume media without it consuming me back

Huh. Actually fairly accurate. 

[fromaliminalspace]

Steve helpfully offering his hand to everyone boarding the boat, only to get ignored or unnoticed every single time. that’s it, that’s the post

[trans-girl-nausicaa]

there is no “trans debate.” you either believe in the rights of all people to personal freedom, bodily autonomy, privacy, and self-identification, or you’re just a bad person.

[skulandcrossbones]

What’s writing, you know? What does writing actually mean?

[anthonycrowleymoved]

me, your friendly neighborhood villain apologist: zuko was never evil he was just 16

like yeah i know he gets a bonkers good redemption arc but like. he didn’t actually need one because if you give a teenage boy a ship and tell the people on it to listen to him the least you can expect is some attempted murder. that’s not on him at that point

[the-turtleduck-pond]

I’m honestly dumbstruck because I can tell you at 16 if you gave me a ship, a crew, a wise old man, and a mission to kidnap someone I gotta tell you.

I’d be down for it. I’d probably have gone further.

[the-turtleduck-pond]

Wait, this originally happened when he was 13 and I’ll tell you that 13 year old me would have committed atrocities.

[sapphicq]

13yo me would’ve taken the free boat and straight up become a pirate and the fact that Zuko didn’t is really the biggest plot twist in avatar

[the-turtleduck-pond]

AU where Zuko just becomes a pirate.

[sapphicq]

He still sees the light blast and goes to the South Pole but instead of trying to capture aang he rolls up in his free boat like ‘get in losers we’re going to kill my dad’

[the-turtleduck-pond]

Yes, this. I like this.

[roseverdict]

aang: who??? are you???

zuko: exiled son of the fire lord. did these two get you up to speed?

sokka: wait you’re WHAT-?!

katara: what do you mean, YOU’RE THE EXILED SON OF THE-?!

aang: i mean, mostly???

zuko: excellent. i reiterate, get in losers we’re going to kill my dad

[the-cheesemonger13]

aang: i’m personally not up for murder

katara: I AM! your dad is the reason my mom is dead

zuko: i like the enthusiasm. avatar, you can be moral support

sokka: i’d like to hit the loserlord at least one (1) time with my boomerang if possible

zuko: i’ll allow it on the condition that you hit my sister as well

sokka: deal

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

When you find a fanfic writer you like:

[the-geek-cornucopia]

I feel seen.

[kaelio]

my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice
