people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago

COMMENT! ALWAYS COMMENT!

THE ONLY RULE IS: IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

I think we've fallen into this weird trap people have in their brains. They don't want to read fics that aren't complete, but also don't want to comment on anything that's more than a week old, so they literally just never comment. I blame the current "five second video and onto the next five second video" internet culture.

(Also, 2 years is not old for fics, by any stretch of the imagination)

When your Character...

is...

needs...

loves...

has/experiences...

reblog to pat ur mutuals on their silly heads

The point of fiction is actually to put that guy in a situation™️, and he might try to tell you the point is to then get him out of the situation, WRONG, second situation

One of my writing teachers in community college told me that the first step of writing fiction was to run a character up a tree, and the second step was to throw rocks at him. Words to live by

Gotta do it

I don’t care what news I get I just want this stupid potato dog on my dash

^

Same lol

I mean like

It’s chonky

It’s dog

I must reblog

Download all of the fanfiction you love if it's hosted in the U.S. Put it on a portable hard drive. We are all the archivists now.

Project 2025 will classify it all as pornography and it will disappear.

This isn't doomerism. They told us what they are going to do. Believe them.

AO3 has a download button. They also have lawyers but it's not a bad idea to play it safe. Fanfiction dot net has lots of workarounds to prevent people from doing this but this one still works for me (the installable program, not the webversion)

reblog if you need a hug

Reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a much needed hug

if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band

this actually made me cry with joy also one of them is eating noodles

It just keeps going and getting better. *^^*

Me two minutes ago: “cry with joy? an animation of cats playing instruments made someone cry with joy?”

Me now: (sobs into a tissue) “OH MY GOD THAT ONE IS PLAYING TWO RECORDERS AT THE SAME TIME” (blows nose)

CAT PARADE IS BACK

ALWAYS reblog Cat Parade! 💕💕💕

And one of them has a little duck on its head 🤣

I’ve been blessed with the kitty marching band! I love them 💚🥰

GIVE YOURSELF A 2 MINUTE PRESENT.

YOU DESERVE TO STOP AND EXPERIENCE A SIMPLE JOY.

Same ❤️ I will totally sit on tables and counters if given a chance and swings my legs and I gesticulate a lot when excited about a topic.

The Last Unicorn displayed with different palettes from the movie.

This took about three hours in Photoshop. I screencapped about thirty frames from the movie and made my little unicorn outline. Then I painted the movie consecutively throughout the unicorn (as I watched it in the background). I tried to make sure on her shoulders and hips that the moment encapsulated both the legs, so the mountain on her shoulder is their traveling background and appears before Mommy Fortuna’s carnival as well as before their trip to the Greenwood. The Red Bull on her hips is right before they get to the castle but also before the ocean swallows him up. If you want to support a lesbian art student you can buy this design on a great many things in my Redbubble shop.

T-shirts, masks, pillows, stickers, stationary, bags

If this pops up while you’re scrolling, I wish you unconditional love and massive success.

I am not taking a risk

Not risking it pals

U know what I want potato of luck

Damn right I’m reblogging. See previous post re wrath of whatever from high atop the thing.

potato I will never ask you for anything else in my lifetime please potato for fuck's sake

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

The adventures of a space roomba

Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head

hilariously, these are almost all in my fic tag. so, a compiled list from the notes (and some extras):

I am in love with you /p
