You know what?
I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.
I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)
I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.
I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.
I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.
I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.
I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.
I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.
I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.
This is so funny i never get tired

The number of fans I've seen turn their back on Kataras's character due to the Southern Raiders episode is astonishing and incredibly painful. In fact, it makes me wonder how people cannot consume media critically when the objective of the show is to create nuanced and well-rounded characters that almost reflect normal human beings like you and me. However, when a character who is usually good and who is usually nice and good exudes negative emotions and quite valid ones. How would you feel if you found your mother's murder? Enraged and upset and if you have the power that Katara has I feel that many of us would use it. However, I seen many fans get on a moral high horse and absolutely turn her back on her even after this episode was done. I understand that people are upset at the "you didn't love her as much as I did." Quote said by her to her brother. However, I want you to think about one thing. Imagine being the reason why your mother was killed. You were the one who was supposed to die that night. But your mother replaced your fate. Katara will always love her mother differently because her mother gave her life twice: once when she was born and the other where she protected her daughter by lying that she was the last water bender. She feels guilty for her mother's death. I've seen so many people permanently hate her character after this episode and it feels like people cannot generally understand a well rounded character. I feel that many people tend to coddle the other characters and their trauma, but when it comes to Katara people simply just don't care. Everyone decides to play the trauma olympics , with all of the characters , without understanding that they're all incredibly traumatized and comparing trauma does not help anyone's mental health. But for her it's a complete joke. There's memes and people laugh. In fact, whenever she does bring up her mother It is meant to help others and to be able to help bring comfort to their pain. She doesn't do it out of the luxury of grieving for herself.
They are my icons
So my new favorite things is taking Six screenshots wildly out of context and then adding captions. These are my favorites.
what a cute couple i bet they shop at forever 21
I wanted to do some Anidala Headcanons cause they are my OTP!!! So here we go!
1: Who spends almost all their money on the other?
Anakin spends all his allowance from Obi Wan on Padme.
2: Who sleeps in the other’s lap?
Both. Depends on who is more tired.
3: Who walks around the house half-naked and who yells at them to put on some clothes?
Anakin loves showing off his six-pack and Padme’s more cautious about making it look like they are not a couple.
4: Which one tells the other not to stay up all night and which one stays up all night anyway?
Anakin, that’s canon.
5: Which one tries to make food for the other but burns it all by accident and which one tells them that it’s okay and makes them both cookies?
Anakin is too much of a hazard to have in the kitchen, Padme cooks.
6: Which one reads OTP prompts and says “Oh that’s us!” and which one goes “Eh, not really”?
Anakin ships him and Padme sooo much and will point to any romantic literature and be like that’s us and Padme is just like not really.
7: Which one constantly wears the other’s clothes?
Padme puts on Anakin’s robes and makes fun of him by saying his cringey pick up lines.
8: Which one spends all day running errands and which one says “You remembered [thing], right?”
Padme is both of these she will run errands all day and the one time she asks Anakin to do anything he forgets to.
9: Which one drives the car and which one gives them directions?
Anakin drives and Padme gives directions.
10: Which one does the posing while the other one draws?
Padme would pose reluctantly and Anakin would spend hours drawing her and it will just look like a nice stick figure. So he would beg Padme to draw him and she would only take 20 and it would be a masterpiece.
11: If they were about to rob a museum, which one does backflips through lasers and which one is strolling behind with a bag of chips?

14: Which one keeps accidentally using the other’s last name instead of their own?
Anakin.

Anakin.
19: How good would your OTP be at parenting?
Padme is the parent focused on the kids having a good education, doing their chores and eating well, but is pretty trusting of them and lets them go out with friends. Anakin likes to hang out with his kids and be the fun dad, but when it comes to them hanging out with friends he’s super strict and wants them to be at home and is less trusting.
