Erwin’s eyebrow game be like
So, when I was doing my thesis on whether or not fanfiction should be considered a legitimate genre of literature, my advising professor asked me for examples. I gave him the generic ones, of course - “Pride & Prejudice and Zombies” is a horror fanfic of “Pride & Prejudice”, “50 Shades of Grey” is an erotica fic of “Twilight" - and that seemed to make him understand what fanfiction is, but not how it’s useful. So I thought about it, and, after about a minute, I said, “Paradise Lost is basically a fanfiction of the Book of Genesis. And The Divine Comedy is an epic self-insertion fic for Catholic doctrine. So, basically, you were teaching us fanfiction last semester.” I had never before seen a grown man’s eyes widen with such fear, incomprehension, disgust, awe, and understanding.

I’ll never not be amused by the fact that I can drop the words “crucifix nail nipples” into a conversation and some of you who have been with me since the livejournal days will join me in the flashbacks, screaming and crying all the way.
i often wonder how many ppl from 2012 tumblr are still active on here

thinking about going off the rails and becoming one of those people fixated on an undeveloped character to the point where their projections and headcanons have made them into an unrecognizable fully fleshed out entity
that’s my secret. all my OCs are me

I got real petty over on the Facebook page and IT WAS GLORIOUS.
All of the orgasms in fic are so violent. His orgasm came like a punch to the gut. It hit him like a mack truck. It knifed him in a fucking alley. What these orgasms need is a good education.
Thanks for giving me a chance ❤
same...just same.
Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY...... Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on
i be like “writing isn’t my passion” but then proceed to spend every waking hour and even the occasional dream thinking abt a new plot or concept, read essays and the journals of popular authors, literally consume any written material available to me, once stayed up until 2 am three nights in a row to work on a draft that has never seen the light of day, and spend nearly every second of my free time plotting, planning, or writing fics & then tell everyone it’s just a hobby to me
Me: *stops writing* well that’s enough writing for now
Me: *later* Alright time to write!
Me: *staring at where I left off*
There's definitely nothing wrong with "female character stands up to misogyny" stories and they can be really empowering but I personally would love to see more SFF, especially high fantasy, where misogyny just doesn't exist and never did.
There's something really refreshing about seeing women having agency and kicking ass and there never being any question by anyone that they could. I wish there was more of that
This is so relatable, I’m dying.
