Fitz finally gathering the courage to ask Jemma out only to accidentally open the door to the monolith's chamber because he leaned against it while trying to act casual and causing her to get eaten by said monolith and taken to a different planet with only an astronaut who fell in love with her and the immortal squid guy who inspired the devil for company for six months is quite possibly the most epic fail in all of aos

I think there's some medias that you just cannot meaningfully engage with if your main priority is shipping

(Tired aroace voice, metaphorical cigarette in hand) You don't have to make them kiss... they don't always have to kiss...

one genre of fanfiction that seems to have mostly disappeared since i became an adult is shenanigans-type fics. like not exactly crack but just "the gang goes to 7-11" type, extremely low-stakes plot stories. the beach episodes of fanfiction. i just feel like i don't see those around so much anymore. whered they go. i miss them :(

i've had multiple people on this post say i've inspired them to make more of these kinds of fics which makes me really happy. be the change you want to see in the world
