i think there'd be alot less discourse around "fanfic vs literature" if more people treated fanfiction as it's own medium with it's own strength and weaknesses, rather than comparing it to traditional literature, because most of what i love about fan-fiction just straight up does not work in original fiction. at all.

Victor Frankenstein after achieving the impossible and building a fucking person from scraps of the dead: Oh god, ew, ew it's ugly! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew! Ew! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew!

More genius antics by the Eridian Hating Committee. I love this evolution so much hahahah

liking a straight woman’s critique of a straight man’s misogynistic video and then taking back my like at the end when she tries to make a joke abt him being gay #lol we’re never getting out of here like we’re neverrrrrr getting out of here why are gay ppl driving the bus all of a sudden

Fandomites will be like "the omegaverse is often used for complex explorations of gender and parenthood" and the complex explorations in question is often extreme fantasy misogyny through the compelling lens of "what if men were harmed by the patriarchy the exact same way women are and also every misogynistic ideal is somewhat true in this universe"

you would think, like, "oh, we've already thought of all the metaphorical ways we can say penis/vagina. we've already come up with the full list of nicknames. we have exhausted the list of innuendos. there is nothing else new to be said about this" and then you'll open a random explicit fic and make the most improbable linguistic discovery of all time

would you like to share with the class 🤔

saw the term "gummy walls" last night and had to sit alone with god for a minute

One of my favourites that I remember breaking down cry laughing from was "mayonnaise stir stick". I heard/read that one whilst playing TF2. So it always brings me back :)
