WARNING: Epic Nerd

A long time ago, I saw a Neil Cicierega video titled 'Warning: Epic Nerd Dance,' and ever since, I have been dubbed an Epic Nerd of some kind.  (a.k.a, multi-fandom, fanfiction, original fiction, shameless reblogging gifs, returning to tumblr after...

Hey Prompt Guy. You are from the Netherlands right? Did you see the video?

You mean..this video?

[puxplechaos]

CSJJ Day 1 (Part 2!): 12 Ways to Make 2017 Your Best Year Ever

Surprise! It’s a double feature for @csjanuaryjoy to start the New Year! Both @warning-epic-nerd and I tackled the same prompt “Character A makes a list of things to do to make 2017 the best year ever.” Check out her beautiful take on the prompt here. (And thanks to her for the beta job for me!)

Emma Swan isn’t going to let a magazine dictate how she lives her life. But the challenges in this article sound fun and could be the start of something wonderful. Particularly when they lead her straight to Killian Jones.

12 Ways to Dramatically Improve Your Year: Monthly Challenges to Help You Embrace Life, Grow As A Person and Make 2017 Your Best Year Ever!

Emma stares at the title of the article in the cheesy magazine. She is equal parts irritated and hopeful (and then annoyed at herself for feeling hopeful) at the ridiculous statement.

As if a magazine is going to fix my life!

She doesn’t want to read on, but then she’s stuck waiting to see the dentist and really has nothing better to do. It wouldn’t do any harm to see what it said. She could tell Mary Margaret about it later and mock the ridiculous suggestions it had.

Because really, how could it suggest anything that would help her recover from the mess that was 2016? Not only had her almost fiance Walsh proved to be as too good to be true as she’d always worried, but also her ex Neal had reappeared wanting forgiveness for sending her to jail back when she was a minor and he was old enough to know better.

She had become Sheriff of Storybrooke, which really she should count as a win, but it had come at the cost of Graham’s life. He had been a good friend to her and getting ahead in such a way had never sit right with her. So even the best thing about her year was tinged with sadness and regret.

And there was the added insult that being Sheriff had meant more time with Mayor Mills. She was still trying to work out exactly what it was she had done to the high strung woman to earn her such contempt. It hardly seemed like a week went by without the mayor intruding or calling her abilities into question.

All in all, on a personal level, 2016 had sucked balls. Emma couldn’t even begin to consider all the political horrors that had happened and role models she had lost in the year.

Maybe letting a cheesy magazine dictate how to improve her year was a really dumb idea. But then, she hadn’t been doing all that well of having a good year on her own terms, so maybe it wasn’t the worst idea ever. She’d at least read the article. If the challenges sound fun, she might give them a try. Where’s the harm?

And because it’s New Year’s and that’s a reason to celebrate, we’ve got a double feature for you with this modern AU from @katie-dub. Tagging @kmomof4 - there’s another fic live today. 😊

Every writer on Tumblr: “I would combust out of love if someone ever drew fanart of my fic!!” Me: “oh man I wanna draw this scene BUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY HATE IT AND HATE ME FOR THE NERVE”

[marumigamer]

Dear artists.

We, the writers, will accept any of your fan arts.

We don’t care if it looks like shit to you, or you think your art skills are not good enough.

We will love any fan art, because it’s the most beautiful way to say “I love what you write”.

CSJJ Day 1: Rediscovering Emma

I’ve really enjoyed writing for the @csjanuaryjoy prompt (expanding on my love of the WishRealm!) My prompt was ‘a character writes a list to make 2017 the best year ever.’

Rediscovering Emma, by epicnerddance on FF

The Kingdom of the Enchanted Forest awoke slowly; sunlight crept sleepily over the treetops, tipping them with an orange glow that cast a fresh day upon the inhabitants of the land. The Royal Castle rested on the crest of the highest hill, the surrounding trees stretching their arms to shake off the night time and welcome the morning.

 The animals, bathing in the new dawn, began to awake too. In the branch of a tree, in a nest of lovingly gathered twigs and leaves, a mother bird stirred, careful not to wake her sleeping babies. She extended her wings, taking flight, ready to catch breakfast.

Inside the castle, one princess had been awake for some time. As she sat at her mirror, brushing powder on her cheeks, it mingled with tears and she knew it was a futile endeavour. She put down the brush, taking one last look at her tear-stained face, before going to her bed, where her case was packed and ready to close.

Emma had lived a perfect life...

harry potter books rated by mcgonagall

sorcerer's/philosopher's stone: cries for james and lily, also absolutely cannot believe that dumbledore is leaving a baby on a porch in england in november. 8/10

chamber of secrets: condescends lockhart into going into the chamber alone, then turns around and is like "great so that got rid of him" 10/10

prisoner of azkaban: "you look to be in perfect health to me, potter, so i'm sure you won't mind me setting you homework. i assure you that if you die, you need not hand it in." bamf. says "not today" to the god of death." 11/10

goblet of fire: there's that one time she puts a hand on harry's shoulder while her voice shakes. lov it lov her. 9/10

order of the phoenix: unfortunately is part of the union of "adults denying traumatized harry any information." this, however, is offset by "have a biscuit, potter." 7/10

half-blood prince: in her temporary stint as headmistress, she gets more done than dumbledore did in fifty years. amazing. 100/10

deathly hallows: OH BOY. TALK SHIT GET HIT. MCGEE IN THE HOUSE HERE TO FUCK SHIT UP. 10000/10

Believing in TV show writers is like believing in ex boyfriends when they say that this time it will be different.
