History has its eyes on you.

this fucking post singlehandedly ruined my life

You don’t really appreciate how fucking great fan fic is when it comes to writing sex untill you stop to recognise how Serious Literary Stars fail at writing sex.

DO A BARREL ROLL

Like, in My Immortal, it’s at least implied he knows where he’s supposed to put it. It’s very simplistic, Ikea-style sex (insert tab A into slot B) but that’s better than this vague, useless composition of random, nonsensical placement and movement of body parts. So yes, the sex in My Immortal is, in this sense, better.

I literally never want to hear anyone badmouth fanfiction again, I have never in all my years of internetdom read anything as troubling as, “Under that sling, her breasts were like young fawns, sheep frolicking in hyssop - Psalms were about to pour out of me.”

Some writers seriously need to learn how to fade to black, I swear to god.

“Ted unfurled his hardening chlamydia dispenser. Valerie took one look and moistened audibly. She removed her galoshes, one boot at a time, then her snow pants. Ted stroked himself as the scream of neighborhood cats filled the air. He circled her like a small asteroid entering a gravity well. She watched sweatily. It was their night to shine.” 

So if you guys felt self conscious about your fanfiction sex scenes…don’t be. These are actual published authors. You’re doing just fine.

Tell your sister I’m now a professionally paid author because of “fanfic.”

Tell your sister to get over herself.

Tell your sister things that make you happy are never a waste of time

I JUST SCREAMED

@queen–frostine dude. This is incredible

@thecasualpistachioh Damn

it’s kinda sad how hamilton and burr disagreed a bit in act one, but when you hear the overlap, it’s like a memory playing as burr spoke, assuming hamilton was going to shoot him dammit mind stop that

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

DEFIANT - RESISTANT DEFINITE - CERTAIN

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

This is great

THIS

Wake Me Up Inside has become a real joke but you all are lying if you say that you wouldn’t have loved lyrics like “bid my blood to run before I come undone and save me from the nothing I’ve become” if it was presented in a folk song on Sufjan Stevens’ Carrie & Lowell.

This is really quite a big deal. A tremendous amount of modern research ends up being sold to journals which require unreasonable payments to access it and only pay the original authors a pittance. It’s nice to see an agency like NASA deliberately widebanding its findings.

Not sure if people fully realize just how big of a deal this is. THIS is how science is advanced. Not through biased corporate research, business secrets, marketing, paywalls and patent wars. But through open, uncensored and unrestricted public access to knowledge.

NASA IS GOOD, NASA IS GREAT
