maturing is realizing "actually, i AM like other girls"
very dear to me that “I don’t understand that reference” happens after dean has already made many many references that cas didn’t get. like it’s been a year and a half since cas pulled him out of hell. he said absolutely nothing at thelma & louise, ninja turtles, bert & ernie, etc, but then dean calling him the delorian is his breaking point I guess where he had to quit playing along and just go. dean. please. what the fuck are you saying
I saw this while looking for refs on Pinterest and it’s so funny I’m gonna throw up
genuinly tho i love to think about the human mannerisms rocky must have picked up while alone with grace for years. do you think he returned with an accent? completely different body language? sayings and idioms that make no sense when translated? it's so dear to me.
one argument you often see about fanfiction is that it's like 'training wheels' writing? like 'oh it's fine to do that while you're still learning, it's easier than coming up with your own ideas'. and I have to say I have just never agreed with that.
in my experience it's actually pretty common for newbie fanfiction writers to gravitate towards coming up with OCs rather than writing about the canon characters (hence the infamous Mary Sue); this suggests that many people find that 'easier' than attempting to write about pre-existing characters.
I would say that recreating the characterisation, mood and general vibes of an existing work of fiction is in fact a skill in and of itself that's acquired via practice. A common compliment delivered to fanfiction writers is how well they have captured the spirit of the original work. Inexperienced fanfiction writers fail to do this.
When creating an original character you can, ultimately, say anything about them and now it's canon bcos you created them and you said so. conversely, well, if you are covering a well known song and start playing the wrong notes people will notice immediately.
In addition: a lot of fanfiction, IMO, is in actuality a form of metafictional literary analysis. a story where two characters sit down and talk about their feelings about a canonical event? literary analysis, which is of course a skill. Sometimes fanfiction is bad bcos the writer is not good at interpreting texts.
finally I have made this point before but you never really see anyone suggesting that fictional works based on existing public domain texts are on 'easy mode'. is it 'easier' to write something based on a copyrighted work than a public domain work? Of course it isn't.
I know I said 'finally' but I forgot a point:
A major strength of the transformative work is its ability to create dramatic irony. If a fanfiction's emotional resonance is dependent on being familiar with the source material that's not necessarily a bad thing. sometimes it's a sign that the author has done a really skillful job of engaging with said source material.

like as far as headcanons go I can't get over how perfectly the "stratt digging her nails into the palm of her hands" tic works on a symbolic level. of course she stains her hands with blood. of course it's her own.

Thumbs up Baby 👎👎👎
Bosses and Coworkers: you've got a great work ethic, going above and beyond
Me: I am literally just doing my job. Everyone else is slacking off.
Everyone Else: (magically knows somehow the secret amounts of work the boss is actually asking of them, which the boss cannot tell anyone for Reasons)
There always seems to be a gap in instructions (from bosses, parents, teachers, friends, whoever) between 'required' and 'expected', and this gap is:
invisible
never explained
always a different size
you have to guess the size
if you guess wrong you either get Praised or In Trouble
At least on 'the price is right' you know (because someone *actually told you*) that you are playing a guessing game and that there is an over/under mechanic and that the conquence of guessing wrong isn't a punishment or damaged relationship or getting fired
On an unrelated note my psychiatrist has given me a referal for a formal ASD evaluation
This post is about the neurodivergent frustration of having to deal with neurotypical authority figures who don't say what they mean but I love the pro-union labor-rights energy I'm seeing in the notes
me at my new job: god i'm so stupid i cant go five minutes without asking my boss how to do something
my boss during my 90-day review: you're picking everything up really fast. usually new hires don't learn as much as you do at this point
me: sounds fake but ok
