i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33

when you see a piece of media enough times, every gif is a gif you can hear

i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure or redemptive. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.

Still a hopeless romantic after all this time. Very insane of me.

that is actually my main principle of explicit fic is that the personalities stay On during sex.

Genuinely - and I get that this is probably in part my aceness talking - if I can't hear the character voices in smut just as much as in non smut, then I can barely read it, much less find it hot.

basically my favorite thing to do is imagine The Character in some sort of situation of terrible emotional turmoil. it’s like enrichment for me

finding somebody who will laugh at your shitty jokes is joy-inducing but finding a motherfucker who can yes-and all the esoteric bullshit you put out is pure cocaine. this must be the shit all those racuous but good-natured scoundrels down at the tavern are on

the truth is that characters who are extremely unwell about each other are more compelling than characters who have a healthy relationship
