tbh i think what made tgwdlm so much more successful for me is how like. simple but effective the concept was and how well it combined content with form. i don’t think that either of the other hatchetfield musicals have really done that and it’s made them feel pretty shallow to me

any time i feel like my life is slipping away from me I remember the “open eyes right at twenty-three” line from take my hand and realize that im not even 23 yet. i have time
I’m going to say this in the most loving and compassionate way I know how
💙 you need to shut the fuck up 💙
im teasing but seriously the internet has so warped some of y’all’s perception of what age is and it’s genuinely so disappointing. If you are under 25, your goddamn brain is not fully developed and you need to chill out with this “im on the edge of my deathbed the second I turn 20” bullshit, especially if you’re a woman because media is constantly trying to convince you that you’re worthless if you’re not skinny and fresh-faced. Trust me, you’re fine. Your life is not slipping away. You’re literally not even a quarter into it. If you wanna come back and have this conversation when you’re 60, by all means feel free. But until then imma need you to buck up buttercup.

me writing thousand-word drabbles to randomly send to my moots: :))
me when i remember all the unfinished wips i’ve got: :/
me when i remember that i haven’t written and posted an actual fic in ages: :(
me when said moots respond to the drabbles with the exact level of excitement/hype that i was hoping for: :)))))
me when i do actually post something and it gets minimal to no active engagement (reviews, unique tags, reaction pics, hype, etc.): :(
me when i remember that creating long, drawn out AUs with my moots and sending drabbles back and forth to each other is more fun and emotionally fulfilling because it means someone will actually actively engage with my writing by hyping me up and/or sending me their own thoughts and opinions and ideas instead of just leaving a like and (occasionally) a tagless/commentless reblog before disappearing back into the void: :/

Mildly worried that when OFMD season 2 eventually releases, certain fans will have set themselves such impossibly high expectations that they’ll get pissy if they are not fulfilled exactly. Certain fans want specific headcanons to be made canon for season 2 and I know some will get unreasonably mad if they are not made canon exactly how they invision e.g. bearded Stede. Then they’ll bring down other fans by posting about how they are disappointed over minor things or how their headcanon is objectively better than canon/ other fans preferences. When let’s be honest, sometimes fandoms can agree on great headcanons, but sometimes not so much. Or at least have headcanons that are great in indulgent fan content but wont fit the tone of the show and be in character. Some people are going to become so goddamn entitled, pedantic and demanding, I just know it. It happens in every fandom.
Of course, most fans seem lovely and wont be like this at all but damn, even just a handful of annoying people can really bring down a fandom. Please, just be aware that if you have unrealistic expectations, it’s entirely on you if you are not satisfied with what happens.

how do u talk to your friend group that you’ve been in for four years but uouve always been the odd one out and the one no one cared about pretty obviously but it was okay cus u didn’t care before but now u kinda do and u know that they kinda suck and don’t want to fully be friends anymore but u physically can’t make new friends anymore and there’s too many memories to stop being friends but u also still eat lunch together but haven’t had a proper conversation with any of them about something other than school since last year and they don’t give a shit abt u so u just sit there awkwardly bc they are all talking and laughing with eachother but whenever u talk they go quiet and look sympathetic like they hate u and they know ur a freak and don’t have any other friends and will probably kys if they told u they hated u even tho u already know but they never rlly cared abt that before so why do they now
i’m just asking for a friend !!
