How about autumnal prompt 6 for willex! 🍂

“Do we really need this many blankets, Jules?” Alex asked skeptically as she piled yet another one onto the pile in his arms. “There’s like six of us. You already have at least eight blankets here.”

“Don’t judge my cuddle piles,” Julie retorted, picking up another one off her bed. “Okay, that should be enough I think, as long as Reggie and Luke actually grabbed all the pillows like they promised.”

With that, she headed for the door. Alex followed her down the stairs to the living room, which was already decked out for movie night. The giant beanbag that had come from who knew where was in front of the couch and the coffee table was partially covered in bowls of snacks.

“Get back here!”

Luke’s yell cut through the room as he chased Reggie in from the garage, swinging a pillow at him. Reggie was cackling and clutching a pillow to his chest. He made a full loop around the couch, narrowly avoiding Julie, then bolting for the kitchen.

“You take it back you weasel!” Luke cried as he tried to catch up.

“Never!” Reggie declared, facing him over the kitchen island. “I’m right and you know it!”

“I am not a leprechaun!” Luke howled.

“You are in my kitchen, honey,” Flynn interrupted, walking pointedly through Luke with a bowl of popcorn. “Get out before you ruin my snacks.”

“Your kitchen?” Julie questioned, smirking.

“Might as well be,” Flynn sassed, setting the bowl down on the coffee table and winking at Julie.

Julie laughed and dropped her pile of blankets onto the tan beanbag. “Just don’t let Tia hear you say that,” she warned, still chuckling. “She has officially decided that dad is unfit to feed anyone and that it’s her kitchen now, since ‘someone has to keep my mijos from starving,’” she quoted, impersonating her aunt’s tone.

“I thought that’s what having ghosts was for,” Willie joked as he joined the group. “What else are we good for if not cooking all the time?”

“I”m pretty sure that’s mostly a you thing, babe,” Alex chuckled, glancing down at the plate of fresh chocolate chip cookies in Willie’s hands.

“You love it though,” Willie pointed out, grinning.

“You make a good point,” Alex agreed, dropping his blankets onto the couch so he could wrap an arm around his partner’s waist.

“Geez, I thought we were just going to be getting cheesy from the movies tonight,” Flynn groaned dramatically, throwing themselves onto the couch. “I don’t need it from you idiots too.”

Alex blushed but pressed a kiss to Willie’s cheek anyway as their friends laughed. “You’re just jealous,” he retorted, taking the plate of cookies and setting them with the rest of the snacks on the table.

“As if,” Flynn scoffed jokingly. “I literally have the hottest partner in the world, what exactly do I have to be jealous about here?”

“Okay, let’s start the movie,” Julie interrupted before they could get into it. It was probably for the best, Flynn and Alex could really get into it when they started getting snarky with each other.

It took a few minutes to get everyone settled, but they managed alright. Julie was up on the couch, Flynn wrapped around her. Luke was on the beanbag, leaning back against her legs while Reggie tucked himself into his side. Alex dropped onto the couch beside Julie and Willie opted to settle on his other side, close enough to touch Alex but not anyone else. The various bowls were shifted around on the table until each was within arms reach of everyone who wanted it, then Julie started the movie.

It was the first of the Twilight movies, since Luke and Reggie had never seen them and Willie refused to watch anything beyond the first one. Alex stretched an arm out over the back of the couch as the movie began, leaving the invitation open for Willie to cuddle if they wanted. Sometimes touch was too much for them, but they also had a hard time asking for it when they did want it. Alex just tried to make sure Willie knew that he could have it if he wanted, but also that it was completely his choice. Willie leaned back against Alex’s arm, not fully curling into his side, but staying close as Bella started school. 

A ways into the movie, Alex felt Willie shiver a bit. His own skin was starting to feel the chill as the night set in outside. He reached over to where he and Julie had set the blankets to grab some for them, but his fingers only found one. He glanced up at Julie and Flynn, who had apparently made a little blanket nest for themselves at some point.

“Seriously?” he hissed.

“Yes. Movie, pay attention,” Julie retorted in a whisper.

Alex rolled his eyes and pulled the single blanket, a thick blue one, onto his lap. “There’s just one, are you good with sharing?” he asked Willie.

“Yeah, that’s fine,” Willie responded. 

Then they moved even closer, settling against Alex’s side as Alex wrapped them both in the fuzzy blanket. Alex carefully settled his arm around their shoulders. As the movie continued, they kept shifting closer and closer together under the blanket. By the time James lured Bella to the dance studio, Willie was basically in Alex’s lap, curled around him with his head resting on his shoulder. Alex certainly wasn’t complaining. He just adjusted his position to make sure Willie was comfortable and basked in the comfortable warmth.

It was nice, being able to just be here like this. The first few months of their ghosthood together had been so tumultuous, between figuring out the band and Caleb and how exactly to explain to Julie’s family that her bandmates were ghosts, not holograms. But they were here now. No looming threats, no big fights, nothing keeping him from holding Willie close and watching a dumb movie.

When the movie ended and the next one in the series started, Alex glanced down to realize that Willie had fallen asleep. They certainly weren’t the only one, Luke and Flynn were both passed out. They’d probably had a bit too much caffeine earlier. Alex chuckled and shifted both of them into a more comfortable position. Nothing was stopping him from sleeping with his boyfriend either, curled up on the couch, arms around each other, sharing a blanket as he fell asleep to the boring soundtrack of the second Twilight movie.

Reblog for a larger sample size!

No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.

I saw a post about an anon saying it was embarrasing to have an ao3 account in your 30s (it's absolutely not), so I want to do a poll and see what the age range actually is.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

#ra speaks #piracy #media piracy #pirate to make hondo ohnaka proud #obligatory ‘don’t fucking pirate small authors/artists works wtf dude’ statement. #anyone who’s seen my media bitching before knows I’m a hype man for indie films this ain’t about them #this is about corporate streaming services killing physical media bc sales numbers are less impressive than number of streams #edit: USAmericans stop telling me to buy DVDs and blurays at Walmart. think outside your borders for a hot sec. fun thought exercise. #your experiences are not universal #edit: WHO GOT THIS TO 100k. I JUST WANT TO TALK (this post is my second to hit 100k woahg.) #in other news: fix your fucking posture. drink some fucking water. and go the fuck to bed if it’s late bc it’s for me rn. peace and light.

"A story doesn't need a theme in order to be good" I'm only saying this once but a theme isn't some secret coded message an author weaves into a piece so that your English teacher can talk about Death or Family. A theme is a summary of an idea in the work. If the story is "Susan went grocery shopping and saw a weird bird" then it might have themes like 'birds don't belong in grocery stores' or 'nature is interesting and worth paying attention to' or 'small things can be worth hearing about.' Those could be the themes of the work. It doesn't matter if the author intended them or not, because reading is collaborative and the text gets its meaning from the reader (this is what "death of the author" means).

Every work has themes in it, and not just the ones your teachers made you read in high school. Stories that are bad or clearly not intended to have deep messages still have themes. It is inherent in being a story. All stories have themes, even if those themes are shallow, because stories are sentences connected together for the purpose of expressing ideas, and ideas are all that themes are.

#original post #text post #500 #1k #2k #btw i know my definition of death of the author is loosey goosey here #it wasn't the main point so i went informal with it! as ppl in the tags have pointed out it isn't exact #and i do recommend reading the wikipedia article or similar (possibly even the essay itself if you're narsty) if you want to learn more! #wasn't expecting this to take off so my apologies to my barthes-heads out there #love you mwah #5k #10k #15k #20k
