I'm Claire And This Is My Mess Of A Blog

I'm sorry but I do think it's extremely bad for the culture at large to brag about your ao3 stats in tradpub author bios. We don't need to give people even more reasons to be weird about ao3 stats.

It's also tacky.

when someone calls me their friend my heart skips a beat it’s like i won at being myself

those posts complaining about greasy hair arent exaggerating btw, it really makes you feel like everything in your life is going wrong and falling apart. and then you shower and it turns into a normal tuesday

idk who needs to hear this but it’s healthier for you to just accept that you’re gonna be kinda fat than it is to live the rest of your life miserably trying to monitor yourself to maintain a skinny weight your body doesn’t want to hold onto

I used to really like the ✨ emoji but now she's best friends with AI and I feel like I can't trust her anymore

NO do NOT let them win. We can save her. We can wrest her association back from AI. She doesn't deserve this and we can't abandon her.

i think there'd be alot less discourse around "fanfic vs literature" if more people treated fanfiction as it's own medium with it's own strength and weaknesses, rather than comparing it to traditional literature, because most of what i love about fan-fiction just straight up does not work in original fiction. at all.

i hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.

Ad blocking/reporting should have some sort of an "I never want to see this fucking ad again and if you fail me and show it to me again I will track down where you live and fucking kill you" option.

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

Reblogging to keep the accurate definition and examples of queerbaiting circulating in the world

it's kinda scary how you can just be tired all the time forever
