How y’all THINK fanfic authors react when you send multiple comments on different fics: Ugh, another comment from them? Wow, I don’t appreciate how they enjoy what I write. :(

How fanfic authors actually react: OH MY GOD ANOTHER COMMENT? They must be on a marathon! I hope they read my recent whump fic and tell me what they think. Their kindness will be what drives me to finish my current WIP!!!! I WON’T FAIL YOU, NEW READER.

#i go absolutely bonkers for multiple comments #it's why i write really #shhh don't tell anyone #some folks still think i do it because i love the characters and the process of transformative works

I'm the cat version of autistic. If you buy me expensive fidget toys, I'll just play with rubber bands and paper clips instead.

Jopson: Mr Bridgens! Want to see the new playlist I made for Captain Crozier? Mr. Bridgens: mmmm. OK. That's interesting. Jopson: What? What's interesting? Mr. Bridgens: Nothing... it's just that all these songs are about sexual obsession. Jopson:... Jopson:.... Jopson: Really? I hadn't noticed.

You know this series holds a terrific amount of exploitable sexual tension but I swear I was oblivious to it until I watched that scene of Jopson taking care of Crozier where he opens up about his mother's addiction and the guilt he felt for not saving her despite his dedication. He couldn't stand a woman laughing PEOPLE!! Can you imagine how awkward it must have been for a man in the 1800's to feel weirded out by a woman and the conflict that followed upon realising that a place FULL OF MEN felt SAFER? And he chose to disclose his trauma at his captain's most vulnerable moment, a situation only allowed by military complicity elevated by devotion AND TRUST. The bond making was so visible it put me on my knees. He was being seen by the man he most admired thanks to his kindness and love my goodness the power the drama of this scene I could feel Jopson's heart trembling, distilling anguish. THIS. MAN. How defective he must have felt about himself and his feelings towards other men, all converging in the determination of keeping his captain alive, redeeming his faults through DUTY. This ship really has it all people it broke me it really did

#jopzier my beloved #thomas jopson #francis crozier #there is so much depth and texture to their relationship #it goes beyond servant and master #captain and steward #and delves into familial bonds and self sacrifice and hero worship and guilt and dysfunction #also jopson would literally die for crozier and does die reaching for him #i have to stop or i will start chewing on my fist and pulling my hair out #otp

I’m increasingly worried by all the people on my dash calling themselves insane for loving stories in the way humans have loved stories our whole history. “The brain rot is spreading” — you mean you were changed by art? “I’m not normal about this” — you were moved by it? You felt human emotions about it? “I’m about to be so annoying” — you’re going to talk about art? You’re going to be passionate? You’re going to think deeply about it? You’re going to feel love for the work of someone’s soul? You are not a consumer and art is not a product to be casually used! You are a human and stories are the beating heart of our humanity! You must feel everything and you must know that it is normal!

puddles of random water + bare feet = my skin attempting to crawl away from my body.

Walked barefoot across my dorm room. I will never be clean again. The filth will stay forever ingrained in my feet. I am forever stained

#yes i know i do it too #it's my puddle but it still makes my soul try to escape #sensory issues #autism
