Roman Courtship by William Ernest Reynolds-Stephens (c. 1900)

I want to be Roman courted

I think everyone has both "hard" headcanons (things that are so integral to your understanding of a story that you can't enjoy content that contradicts them), and "soft" headcanons (things that are mutable, where you aren't strongly attached or you're open to alternate interpretations) and if you aren't sure if something is one or the other you can just read a fic where the author disagrees with you and see whether you react with "Huh, that's interesting" or "I have been overcome with a creeping sense of existential wrongness."

everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye

[wizardsandthrones]

I think that’s why I love drarry. It’s the perfect ship to write every kind of love story. I can write their love story whichever way I feel like falling in love in that moment. They encapsulate the variety of human experience just by the endless possibilities. Anyways that’s maybe a bit too deep for drarry but also…not?

fanfiction is kind of incredible if you think about it. it's like i love this fictional character/relationship so much that i wrote a story that is also a love letter that is also a thesis about it.

[worstloki]

*reading my own writing* wow this really does cater to all my specific needs

[wizardsandthrones]

lowkey why I write

[athenaschild5]

when fanfic authors say that they don’t decide what happens in the story that the characters make the decisions i imagine it like this:

writer: *sitting down* type type type type *squinting at the screen* type type type

writer: *gasp* WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT…… type type type

[wizardsandthrones]

basically what happens

[incorrectskyrimquotes]

thinking "haha what if i jokingly shipped them" is your last chance to get out btw

[wizardsandthrones]

LOL

[themummersfolly]

Sometimes fanfiction is a love letter to canon, and sometimes fanfiction is pounding on canon's door and yelling for it to get out here so you can kick its ass.

[coraclavia]

is this fic self-indulgent? yes. but what you're failing to consider is that I can write whatever I want so it's fine

[puddingcatbeans]

to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be

[livingbythewords]
