These dead gay wizards keep me alive.

So we're all gonna let the new Harry Potter show die on the vine, right? No hatewatching. No thinkpieces. No videos about how bad it is. Deprive it of oxygen and let it wither away unremarked-upon and unprofitable; make HBO lose their entire investment and prove to the corporate entertainment sphere that the entire IP is poison. And spend that time doing something that brings you joy instead.

AO3 baby, you’re making it so hard for me to avoid my homework if you keep going down like this. Please, don’t make me do my real readings.

remember that when it comes to fanfics, two cakes is always better then one. the more the merrier!

confession: heated rivalry/hollanov has got me reading an absolutely ungodly amount of fanfiction, a level that hasn't been seen since 2016, to the point that I think I have to permanent time restrict web browsing on my phone. therapy is required to quit this. why did no one warn me about the addictive nature of these characters before I decided to watch "the gay hockey show"????? someone find me hollanov methadone asap.

I don’t know why we (the tumblr community) write posts like this (with so many specifying parentheses) whenever our collective wife (ao3) goes off to war (is unexpectedly down), but whatever the reason may be they make me giggle to myself every time

I was supposed to spend this afternoon grading my students’ papers (long overdue). Tell me why I just realized it’s midnight and I’ve been on ao3 since 3:30pm?🤦🏻‍♀️ I had this under control at one point. Now that control is long gone. My friend said she’s going to find a way to lock ao3 on all my devices and I might need her to. This is a PROBLEM.

I think that when you're overstimulated you should appear kind of grayed out and no one should be able to interact with you like a locked character in a video game

btw having curly hair but not being taught how to care about it as a child means that even if you are white, the majority of hair advice being given by other white people is useless and actively harmful to you, so you literally owe everything you know to black and brown women online

Big thank you to all the creators out there ❤️

I know I’m crazy late, but I finally had the time and mental space to watch Sinners and I am speechless while simultaneously wanting to ramble. I would literally watch an ant nap if it was filmed by Ryan Coogler.

oh. i just found out that the writer of the vincent van gogh doctor who episode wrote it as a tribute to his sister.

[butchniqabi]

Richard Curtis wrote, "So – here’s the thing – the key reason I wrote this episode – was out of love for my sister Bindy. She was a gorgeous and brilliant person, 2 years older than me. She loved Vincent Van Gogh and life. She couldn’t have been more full of generosity and joy.

But half way through her life she was hit by depression and intermittently it hurt her for the rest of her life. And a few years before this show, like Vincent, she took her own life.

And in the key scene of the episode - when they bring Vincent to the future... that was me trying to show Bin how glorious she had been in our lives - and how nothing could change that.

And then also to deal with the fact that mental health issues are hard - and the capacity for joy, as I know Bindy did know how much she was loved, is intertwined with the immense difficulty of the illness sometimes...

So taking her own life wasn’t a failure by her, or a rejection of all of us. It was, as they say on Love island, what it was."

I had felt a little disconnected from fanfiction the last few months, reading microfics and keeping up with mutuals and the occasional fic, but nothing too serious.

Heated Rivalry has brought me back to fanfiction big time, both the HR fandom and the Marauders fandom. Safe to say I’m not sleeping or getting any work done😂

[chaoticbatfam]

I bet there’s an English teacher out there somewhere who reads their kids’ papers and thinks, “that one. That one’s a fanfic author.”

[weirdtinkerbellversion]

As a college English teacher, yes, yes we can. And it’s marvelous to know.

If I like the student, I’ll hint that I’m “one of them”. One of my students freaked out and loved it and started telling me about fics they were planning.

[dearofthemeadow2]

do you think Harry ever found out that Remus and Sirius loved each other? Especially after their deaths, I don’t think anyone was left to tell him about it. And if he did I choose to believe it’s because he found a series of letters from Padfoot to Moony mixed with yearning and French eroticism

[weirdtinkerbellversion]

The awesome @lulublack90 wrote a fic of Harry finding out through old pictures and stuff!!! It’s called “The way they were” on ao3. You should check it out!

[outromoonyy]

I wish I had a normal hyperfixation bro what the fuck is a Wolfstar.

[weirdtinkerbellversion]

It took a total of 10 minutes for my queer grad professor to bring up Heated Rivalry in our seminar😂
