Errata

out with the “fanfiction as a lesser form of original fiction”, in with the “fanfiction as a means of literary commentary and exercise in close reading”; not a three-wheeled bicycle for aspiring writers, but rather a self-indulgent treat for aspiring critics.

james baldwin was so right when he said “the children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

shipping fictional characters together as an adult is actually very fun and i encourage it. it is also one of the worst things you can do to yourself and should not be attempted. it's very simple really.

If you got enough money to live happily and comfortably for the rest of your life, but everyone who saw you immediately knew what fandom you are in and understood what that means, would you take it?

You can have 20 billion dollars but you have to drink this perfectly fine glass of water first, would you do it?

...I know I've reblogged this before but not only would I be okay with everyone knowing the fandoms I'm in, for that much money I'd be okay with people knowing that I sometimes spite-read a certain pairing from a fandom I normally shun, for a TV series I have not watched, simply because I got so fucking mad at how antis for that pairing were acting here on tumblr a couple of years ago.

For that much money, I'd be happy for everyone to read the unedited kink fic I write solely for myself and my husband.

Touché. <3

I wear cosplay casually. I have no fear of cringe.

always such a struggle when you get to the sex scene part of the fic you're writing and you're not horny at all. i don't know. their things were touching. without ANY underwear. the end.

it’s not that i don’t disagree with dismissing alison weir based on the “tendentious horseshit” she’s put out semi-recently (among several, probably the most glaring— and sadly deleted read of that “”—being that anne of cleves was not only not a virgin when she married hviii, but that she had given birth to an illegitimate child prior to the marriage); it’s that…she has been putting out tendentious horseshit since she stepped onto the scene. and that it is a very sad indictment on the standards of the reading public that she has remained as popular as she has.

in her 2001 biography of hviii, she claimed that anne boleyn was pregnant april-may 1536 and that hviii and cromwell were aware of it. that alone should have been a career-ender.
