What if AO3 was a beautiful goddess who we all worshipped and sometimes she vanishes into the aether for months at a time and we all immediately congregate in the Tumblr Hall to lament and create art and humour to try and bring her back

James Potter and Sirius Black make each other better, meanwhile Remus Lupin makes Sirius Black worse, in this essay I will–

i just. wanna LIVE. read some BOOKS watch some MOVIES. what's all this abt careers? ambition? what abt LETTING THE SOFT ANIMAL OF UR BODY LOVE WHAT IT LOVES

i love when tragedies are like “the love was there. it didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the love was there”

anonymously tell me what my specialty as a fanfiction writer is

write bad fanfic. write mediocre fanfic. write fanfic that a thousand people before you have already written. write niche fanfic. write fanfic that only a few people will read or understand. write fanfic just for you. write fanfic just for a friend. write ocs. write self-inserts. the fact that you’re taking the time and energy to put your ideas into the world is amazing and people who shame you for it need to find better ways to spend their time.

Sometimes self-care is thinking about Sirius Black. Sometimes it is thinking about James Potter. Sometimes it is thinking about Sirius Black fucking James Potter.

Tbh I think fandom generally needs to get better at sitting with the uncomfortable fact that a story/fanwork/meme/whatever can hurt one person and help another

This is why I think “tag warning” culture is kinder and more constructive than cancel culture / “no problematic content” culture. One size does not fit all, but if we learn to be more aware of the fact that the same thing can be emotionally validating or cathartic to one person and upsetting to another, and pick up a general mindset of thinking before we post, “what might people need a heads up for in this content?”, we grow more compassionate, more thoughtful, and more understanding of the differences in people’s experiences.
