Under Infamous Times

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

“Hey look at me. We’re going to be okay.”

Not all intimacy is soft.

Not all closeness is safe.

And some of the most devastating scenes aren’t romantic at all.

Intimacy in fiction isn’t always about desire.

Sometimes it’s about what a character lets someone see.

Their guilt.

Their grief.

Their quiet refusal — and what it costs.

Because when a character is fully seen — without armour, excuse, or deflection —

and the other doesn’t look away,

that moment carries weight.

Not comfort.

Not resolution.

Just risk.

These aren’t just quiet moments.

They shift the story.

Because once a character has been seen — really seen — they can’t go back to hiding.

🧵 Intimacy without romance is:

• Grief that goes unspoken.

• A lie heard and left unanswered.

• A betrayal understood in silence.

My stories are not for everyone. 

My stories will bore some readers. Some readers will hate them. Some won’t understand, won’t connect the dots, won’t relate to the characters. Some won’t because they can’t, some won’t because they don’t want to, but most won’t simple because my stories just aren’t for them.

My stories aren’t for everyone.

My stories are for me.

And they’re for the readers who will love them. They’re for the reader who have already loved them. For the readers who will see what I see in them and feel the characters and the world the way I do. They’re for the readers who wanted these stories before they even knew they existed. They’re for the readers they’ll make smile, the readers they’ll stick with, and the readers they’ll save.

And just because my stories aren’t for everyone doesn’t make them worth any less to the people they are for. 

Not everyone likes butterflies. Not everyone likes spiders. But the people who love those creatures more than anything else would lose a part of themselves if they didn’t exist. 

So no, my stories are not for everyone. But that doesn’t matter.
