The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

one thing i reallylove about the mark + miles horrible brother dynamic is they both feel terribly guilty for their respective roles in the other's Problems. BUT ☝️not enough to refrain from causing them new ones.

In the TV show of Vorkosigan Saga which is never going to get made, I hereby demand that when Cordelia and Aral first meet, we immediately switch to Aral's point of view, and the visual of Cordelia lying in the mud throwing up is covered in bishie sparkles and an anime rose petal filter. So that we can really get a glimpse of what was going on inside Aral's head.

it's so important to me that any god I ever put in anything I make is Just Some Guy and a pretty miserable one to boot

I just don't think you should get to be a god AND have a good time. I don't even think that godhood should be conceptualized as something that you "get" to do. that's not a privilege.

being a god should suck unless you're some kind of cat god because I think all cats kind of operate on the assumption that they are Cat God so it's not really a noticeable difference. they're all on equal footing. cats are just Different, theologically.

having anxiety is like being given permanent unwanted custody of a halter arabian. like okay buddy is it panic time again. cool you probably need more exercise and an apple and then maybe you'll calm down.

thoroughly enjoying the notes on this post because it's equal parts people with anxiety going "yeah that's what it's like" and people with arabians going "yeah that's what they're like"
