annieQ at the peripheral

You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like

And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions

said "can you calm down or do you need a leash" to a horny guy and i instantly realized it worsened the situation

sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling all that great lately. Do you want me to hunt you for sport

no worries if not. will be thinking of you regardless

It doesn't bug me if people get into hockey for ship reasons or hrpf reasons (I am one of them) (we need to talk about the bio-bdsm to hrpf pipeline)(there are dozens of us!) BUT it does genuinely baffle me that someone could be really into hrpf but not get ADHD-hyperfixated on the sport like what do you MEAN that is the SOURCE MATERIAL that is the CANON. Are you not in here with me??? Watching every game? Spending way too much money on streaming services? Sucking down analysis? Rewatching games you've been to in person to see if your special little guy blows his nose weird? Looking up box scores and highlights so you know who was on the ice during that gay little celly so you can write about it in your fic? Listening to hockey podcasts? Reading stats blogs? Arguing with men on reddit about roster construction???

Look if you've written incest rpf maybe don't attach your ao3 username to a published work. Hot take I guess

publishing a book through random house with the main plot point basically being seguin lockgate. wasn’t the whole point of lockgate , aka the reason it’s called lockGATE - a suffix used to indicate a major event that causes changes in a community - is because everyone in fandom was so horrified he found those fics it led to more diligent locking and maintaining the fourth wall.. and so now to use it as the plot of a book for a major publisher that is also being promoted on tumblr and referencing ao3 by name .. LOL. it’s just wacky. people are allowed to get their bag and chase success, but that also opens up a larger floor for criticism and boy am i criticizing !
