ao3 comments will be like “i like this line of your fic” and my reply will be like “fantastic thank you here’s my entire thought process about how i ended up with that particular line and also an outline for another fic i have and fifteen resources i used to research 1980s politics” and nobody asked for that chill

i asked for that

No we 100% asked for that.

Definitely asked for that, and also here’s the other three dozen lines from your fic that I liked and the outline for the fic they inspired me to write plus some extra character meta that at this point is only tangentially related to your fic but was definitely inspired by those 1980s politics resources and -

Yep.

This is literally how I made most of my fandom besties.

Fandom is a gift economy. Listen, I’m not here because I’m normal about any of this. So give me your essay, and I’ll give you mine. That’s fandom.

It’s crazy to me that people read Sherlock Holmes’ obsession with Irene Adler as romantic when it is so clearly the same kind of obsession that gay men have for Lady Gaga

writing historical fiction is like: yes i can write a beautiful scene with longing glances but FIRST i must know how people brushed their teeth in 1814

PSA: @lunadax is a g-d genius

if this hits 100k notes I’ll lose my shit

i honestly think this video is the strongest evidence of TJLC, because it’s the actual show. the clips aren’t taken out of context, there’s no major editing, no scenes from other shows/movies ben and martin have made. there aren’t any lyrics to tell you how the video should be seen, it’s just so simple and beautiful and most importantly, so real.

truly excruciating in the extreme

Snif

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared

This. Writing is not like dinner. It can be consumed many times

“the ways you have learned to survive may not be the ways you wish to continue to live“

something i’ve learned in my own life and growing/healing process is that the thank you step really is key

Thank you for that addition but I assure you we all already understood the the validity of the voters choice

Dear god you’re right, you’re so right

I feel like this needs to be a writing challenge… How many different ways can you write this one trope.

OH YEAH THAT’S THE GOOD STUFF

😹😹😹

I AM ALL OF THIS I WILL LITERALLY READ ANYTHING

This entire thread is delightful
