i would write you into immortality

As much as I think it would be fun to have emotive anthropomorphic ears, I also recognize I can barely control my facial expressions. Like hell can I keep from Angry Ears-ing during meetings

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

the thing i love the most about fanfiction is the way people can write whatever they want forever and no one can tell them they're doing it wrong because there are no set rules to abide by because it is all fiction and not real <3

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

if you are a fic writer and you are worried about not knowing or researching enough about hockey to write heated rivalry fanfiction please remember that rachel reid invented hockey as a storytelling vehicle for gay romance. it's not real! go easy on yourself 🫶🏽

so obsessed with hal wyler because he's too talented for anyone to ignore him but too much of a fuckup for his own wife to trust him and when he's serious he has the wounded gravity of a man who will never be king but will make them himself out of sheer determination

the thing about the wylers' toxic evil heterosexual divorce-marriage is that from kate's perspective, she needs the marriage to be over, because she doesn't trust hal, because hal is manipulative and reckless (true) and acts like he is singular in the world in a way that gets people hurt (also true), which is never truly punished because he somehow always comes out on top (white man eternally failing up, see 2.6). all of this together is repulsive to her. from hal's perspective, their marriage can't be over. he doesn't entertain it, doesn't believe it, will not let it happen. because he fucking loves kate. and he resents her a little bit, because he knows she hates him and thinks the worst of him, which is so ironic because out of everything he wants it's her that he needs the most. i genuinely think he would have given up the vice presidency had she told him to. she doesn't do that, because even while she hates his guts because it's happening again, hal wyler getting the world while she gets the damage, she's not selfish enough to sabotage his career. his career matters to him, as much as hers does--this is their work, this is what they do, that's what their entire life is built on. they're career officers. but i think kate misses, genuinely or intentionally, that what hal wants more than any of it is kate. it's against how they operate, it's impractical and anathema to who they are as people in their vocation, but he literally tries to give up his political scheming and meddling to be less maddening to her. and it doesn't work! because she doesn't trust him! because it's stupid, and it's not him, and it's not gonna stop them from getting divorced. and she doesn't see that he's trying so fucking hard to be good, because him being good is useless to both of them. the thing about the wylers is that kate isn't actually wrong about hal. he is manipulative and ambitious and doesn't follow any kind of protocol because he thinks so highly of his own ability to get what he wants, structures in place be damned. and he thinks the exact same of kate's ability--which is insane to her. he's insane. but he's not wrong about her either; she's brilliant. it's why they're so good together, when they're on the same page. and the thing about the wylers is they both at their core want to do the best work they are capable of. which is why they need each other.

Actually you SHOULD make problematic content. You SHOULD explore dark or taboo topics. You SHOULD have a space where you can cope with your traumas or explore sensitive topics in a way that doesn't hurt anyone.

(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile
