I like how like… with every new piece of Star Wars media that paints Tatooine as more and more of a shithole where everyone is a murderous crimelord the funnier it gets that Luke Skywalker just grew up on this planet completely normal. Like I’m envisioning a normal day at Tosche Station where a cyborg biker and a Twi'lek prostitute are stabbing each other over a bag of spice and then it just pans over to this fresh-faced nancy boy sitting at a table sipping on his blue milk going “oh golly, I sure do love power converters!”
Ok listen. Listen to me. Sometimes rural towns are just like that. I know someone who shot his cousin because they were playing with live ammo in their backyard and he never went to court. One time a guy who was driving my friend to school said “watch this” and snorted cocaine off of the steering wheel as he was turning a corner. And at the same time you will graduate alongside people who are completely innocent and have no idea shit went down. You will meet 17-year-olds who still don’t know how pregnancy works. This is one of the most realistic decisions in Star Wars
Luke thought his father was a navigator on a spice freighter, brought a rifle out to the desert with him in case he ran into the Sand People, and immediately got to wiping 3p0 and R2 of any identifying features because he knew the Jawas stole them. Luke knew damn well what kind of planet he lived on, but since he wasn’t personally involved in it crime was just another boring chore.
Luke: I want to join the Rebellion.
Uncle Owen: What do you want to leave the planet for, huh? Treason here not good enough for you all of a sudden? We’ve got plenty of laws to violate right here.
Luke: I want to make a difference!
Uncle Owen: You can commit crime at home when your chores are done. No need to go anywhere else.
I got a job interview for a full time job tomorrow and my nerves are currently staging a revolution in my stomach so I’m dumping a fic idea that I’m been mulling over here for a few months to get some of those nerves out.
Title: The no touchy zone
Premise: vigilant deku with a healing quirk with some shindeku on the side
Concept: vigilant healers have a policy of hands off applied to them by both villains and heroes because they can’t force them to use their Quirks to heal and if they try, the healer might just bolt to the other side out of spite or for protection. Hence the area that a healer claims as their territory is known as a “no touchy” zone so that the healer doesn’t refuse to heal someone.
Deku goes by White Rabbit because his Quirk relies on an actual physical timepiece like a wristwatch, pocket watch, etc. and the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland always has a timepiece with him.
People would bring their timepieces to Deku, and he can take the time from lifespan of the timepiece and can apply that to the wounds on someone. The lifespan thing is because everything has a time limit on how long it’ll function, so the lifespan of a timepiece would just be how long it works until something in it breaks.
Shinsō meets Deku when Aizawa stops by Dekus are to be healed while Shinsō is with him.
Immediate fascination because Deku is perpetually exhausted and is unintentionally cryptic. Deku likes him because he didn’t ask stupid questions or try to arrest him like some other interns had done previously
Disaster Lineage + Screentime
[Image ID: Part of the disaster lineage sits in a line; baby Ahsoka and nine year-old Anakin play a game on a datapad together while early-twenties Obi-Wan does actual work on his own datapad beside them. He’s watched by a gently smirking Qui-Gon who is shirking from the work he ought to be doing on his own screen. End ID]
I was thinking and literally one of the most intimate things for me with my hearing aids is letting someone else handle them.
Like these are thousands of dollar worth of medical equipment, that would take at least a month to replace and that I need in order to function in society. They are ridiculously easy to break because of what they are and how they are made, and to lose because they are small (I know someone whose hearing aids are smaller than the size of the first knuckle of their pinky).
So to let someone else hold them, take them out of ears, to change the batteries, put them into the charging port, etc.?
It Speaks volumes to both how close the two people are as well as how much the deaf person trusts the other.
Anyways I was thinking about this with either deaf!Yamada Hizashi and Aizawa or deaf!Bakugo and someone else.
Imagine the fluff potential. Especially with teen aizawa who is all prickly and doesn’t like anyone but is slowly growing to like and trust Yamada, Kayama, and Shirokumo. Imagine the relationship being solidified when Yamada is busy finishing up a paper when his hearing aids die and he just gives them to Aizawa to go and charge for the night. Imagine Aizawa pulling away and refusing to accept the hearing aids after Shirokumo dies because he has convinced himself that everyone he grows close to will be hurt and die, and the hearing aids are a physical sign of how close they are. Imagine Aizawa slowly accepting the hearing aids again, first just to hold briefly while Yamada fixes his headphones, then to restart them when Yamada’s carrying too much stuff when they start acting up, and slowly accepting them for more and more things. Imagine a villain with a Quirk that fucks with sound waves dropping Yamada who is screaming in painbecause that Quirk hurts like hell when his hearing aids are in, and Aizawa just bolting through the rubble to pull the hearing aids out so that Yamada stops hurting.
Imagine Aizawa starting to go deaf, because that’s what happens in battlefields when humans are constantly exposed to extreme sound, they lose hearing. Imagine him not knowing what to do and struggling to adjust to the hearing aids and Yamada just standing there, a guide and helper to get Aizawa through the transition period.
The sheer intimacy and trust that everything involved requires is just amazing

What a fantastic project I got to work on! Three cheers for all the lovely artists, writers, and mods who put this together!
ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.
AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]
This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.
@lordoftherazzles made a quick guide for ao3 authors to lock all their works at once for registered users only here!
Someone recently messaged me worried I’d deleted all my fic - it’s all still there, it’s just locked to A03 because of this and other skimming instances.
Please note that many fanfic authors are locking their stories so that they are only accessible to registered Ao3 users.
They’re still there at Ao3. The authors have made this choice to protect their work from misuse/AI scanning.
So…Katara has some problems with anger, but friends are always ready to help! XD
Trying to see something here: How long have you been writing fanfic for?
0-1 Year
1-2 years
3-4 years
5-8 years
8-10 years
10+ years
Don’t write was curious about results
Ok it’s a poll it’s not that serious but there is something funny about the non-writers voting the most and not reblogging the poll to get more results. Like that’s the most accurate representation of fic interaction on this website 💀

Alfred’s probably on vacation
the concept of “plot armor” has done irreparable damage to media analysis and literacy. “oh the only reason this character didn’t die is because they need to be alive later in the story” you don’t fucking say.
*scratches head*
Okay so I get what you mean, but most of the time when I hear "plot armor" it's not actually about a character surviving, it's normally about the protagonist repeatedly winning against their opponents beyond what audience deem is deserved.
Like. I hear the "only win because of plot armor" or "plot armor too strong" criticism the most against male power-fantasy genres. Totally valid, if you're into that kind of thing. For things like Shonen or other more competitive actiony stuff power scaling is a Big Deal. So it's understandable that the target audience expect the odds to feel plausible, even while they root for the underdog. It's a complicated balance.
If it seems like author bestow too much favor on certain characters (like the protag) then some audience would end up rooting for the villains. Or become apathetic to protagonist's victories. "We can't keep letting him get away with this." <That mood.
Even in the case of survival or miraculous escapes, the author has to give plausible enough reasoning and compelling scenario for the audience to care. If a character repeatedly survive miraculously the audience aren't going to cry when they "die" anymore, or hold their breath when they're in danger. Boy who cried wolf logic.
So that's actually what people mean when they say "plot armor", author failed to sufficiently justify (narratively/emotionally) miraculous odds.
I know they only survived because they're still needed later in the story, but I don't want to feel that way. The point of fiction is to tell a convincing lie.
skill issue
One of my teachers put it like this.
The characters need to drive the plot. The plot can’t drag the characters.
If the future plot is the only reason that a character is in x position, be that surviving, winning, or whatever, that’s plot armor to me. It’s deciding that the reason or rationale for something happening doesn’t matter as long as that something means the future plot continues on track.
For me at least, it’s like watching someone playing a video game, get beaten down in a boss fight, then suddenly having a top tier weapon in the game or using a cheat code to magically restore their health so that they can win the fight.
you're one bus stop away from the afterlife – Original
been told this trascends house so let me dissect it for the general population because i don't think it does but it's also crazy nuanced and I'm proud of it
the bus: basically some sort of limbo between life and the afterlife that House and Amber are currently in. They got into a bus accident it doesn't matter just go with it.
your bare feet don’t quite touch the ground,
but mine do.
I pay no mind to it right now,
but soon enough, the difference will be clear.
There was just this shot of Amber swinging her feet that wouldn't leave my mind. It's so specific. I briefly wondered if this was on purpose, meant to signify some sort of ascension to heaven that some believe people go through when they die. Amber dies, House lives. That's why his feet stay planted on the ground. At the moment, House is entertaining the idea of dying himself, so he doesn't quite see the difference, but once he wakes up, he'll understand.
we sit here in silence
for about fifteen minutes.
Not that it matters to you,
but it does to me.
time is irrelevant once you're dead.
I count ninety-seven seconds before speaking:
“Where is the bus going?”
97 seconds is a reference to a notable episode of House where he basically tries to almost kill himself so that he could take a brief peek into the afterlife, after a patient tells him that the 97 seconds his heart stopped were the best of his life.
you laugh as you tell me you had reached the end of the line
about an hour ago already.
When the bus limbo scene happens, Wilson had already taken Amber off by-pass. The end of the line is also a transport pun for death I'm so sorry.
I say: “the bus is still going, can't you see it?”
to which you respond: “this bus won't take you anywhere that matters.”
Whatever happens after death is meaningless in the land of the living.
It's a reasonable answer, but it won't ever satiate my curiosity,
After the events of 97 seconds, House just forms some weird obsession with the afterlife that is almost suicidal and he won't fucking let it go.
I think you know this, because as you ask me to get off the bus, your kindness briefly slips away.
Amber has never been known for being kind, except once she's dying. Wilson points this out to her, to which she responds, "i don't want my last feeling to be anger"
for just a moment, i think i see your feet grazing the ground.
House associates Amber's harshness with her livelihood. He sees her be more herself, and briefly feels like she's still alive.
(this memory will come back to haunt me at my worst.)
House hallucinates Amber later on the show.
I confess that I quite like it on this bus with you.
Right now i think there isn’t much outside the bus waiting for me.
In the scene, when Amber tries to persuade House to leave the bus, he confesses he doesn't want to live because he doesn't want Wilson to be mad at him.
(I have always been insensitive, but this is where i peak:
you would give anything to get off this bus; i would give anything to stay inside.)
While House feels alone and unloved, Amber dies knowing she had not only Wilson's love, but also the rest of Houses fellows', which had previously claimed to hate her. Their love is something that she'll miss out on, being dead, which is unfair. House is being incredibly insensitive by claiming there's nothing in the land of the living waiting for his return, when he's surrounded by all sorts of loving people she'd give anything to see again.
“Against all odds, there are people outside this bus who love you very much,” you say.
“You owe it to them to stay alive.”
Despite being perhaps the most messed up individual ever, House is surrounded by some of the most loving people on this earth.
When House says Wilson might hate him, she says "you kind of deserve it." It normally wouldn't help her case, but it's her way of saying you better stay alive for him anyways.
As my feet drag me off the bus, i think:
If we all honored that debt,
then the bus would run out of business.
House stays alive for Wilson, but Wilson won't honor this sacrifice later on. Even after House ask him to get his cancer treated, he still chooses to let it run it's natural course (death). Like Wilson, House has seen thousands of patients that, despite having a strong support system, still have a death wish. He thinks many deaths could be avoided if we all just stayed alive for the people we love.
Besides, he's a doctor, death is what he deals with. If love was enough to save us all, he'd be out of a job.

Currently thinking about 18/19 year old Toph getting thrown in some random podunk fire nation town’s one-cell jail and being like “hey I’m broke as hell but I’ve got a friend who can bail me out can I make a call” and then 2 hours later Fire Lord Zuko himself slams open the door yelling “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THIS TIME YOU SHIT”
