the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

listen I love fandom and I love ships that are just porn fodder but some of you need to get way more normal about trans men and it's not the people headcannoning characters as trans men. the way some people will look at a cis male actor and feminize his body as a way to fetishize it, is weird. a man with wide hips is a man with wide hips and that's it. they're not wide birthing hips to lure in his alpha. he's like. just some guy.
