Paris "I can't go to the same college as my boyfriend, that will look like I went there just to be with him— instead I'll go to the same college as my rival and request to be roommates because I think we still have an emotional journey together" Geller
Paris "I'm gonna seek the new girl out on campus to whisper poetry into her ear as an intimidation tactic" Geller
Paris "wow Rory dating would be so much easier if I were gorgeous and talented and charming and wonderful like you" Geller
Paris "going to this concert with you has literally been the best night of my life" Geller
Paris "I told you I didn't want to study in person because there would be no point in just sitting around together staring at each other, then showed up anyway" Geller

“why would you write fics for small, unpopular fandoms? you’re not gonna reach that many hits in fandoms not many people know about” ?? because I’m not writing fics for hits or kudos, I’m writing them for me because these characters are my blorbos and I have so many ideas, so much thoughts about them that my brain might explode if I don’t write them out.
If you can't handle me at my worst (really bad) then you don't deserve me at my best (slightly less really bad)
My heart breaks for Aubrey and her family
RIP Jeff
reasons to write fanfiction (I'll start):
share a cool scene that popped into your head
evoke a particular emotion the canon makes you feel
song made you think of a character or idea from canon
make people feel the same way about a character you do
make dolls kiss for fun
explore ideas the canon hints at but doesn't do anything with
traumatize characters and make them suffer
coddle characters and let them rest
had an insane idea for a crack ship and now everyone needs to know
the author of the canon was wrong and must be fixed
use familiar characters to explore your own ideas and plotlines
canon is too short and you need to wallow in the universe of the story
the urge i feel to be a librarian at a gothic style academic library walking around the creaky wood floors and climbing ladders to put away books
You don't need anyone's approval for the stories you write and the art you create. But it's also absolutely valid to want some approval from your audience. Kudos and likes don't determine your creation's worth. But it just feels amazing to receive them.
being an archaeologist in tumblr is so funny because I see so many text posts and go. Imperialism pre-dates capitalism. Rebellion against empires pre-dates capitalism. Money pre-dates capitalism. Social inequality pre-dates capitalism. Misogyny pre-dates capitalism. Wealth inequality pre-dates capitalism. Unilateral rule by oppressive rulers pre-dates capitalism. People’s dependence on their job for their survival pre-dates capitalism. Capitalism as an economic system is about 200-250 years old max but these problems are much, much older, and capitalism supports, entrenches, or exacerbates many of these problems… doesn’t mean it invented them and doesn’t mean they will simply cease to be problems After Capitalism.
I think one of the Worst Things about wanting to find period clothing from other cultures, is trying to find fucking casual/work clothes. Like no, I do not want to see all these fancy intricate kimonos, I want to see jinbei, and field work outfits so I don't put a damn obi on this poor boy so he has a belt to hang his knife from.
