there’s something so bittersweet and lovely about fanfic, at it’s core. it’s so impermeable, because it’s so individual. fics don’t get finished. fics get lost because they were typed out and sent to friends, in the 70s, and somewhere along the way someone packed it up in a cardboard box and their kids shuffled it to the attic. websites go down. archives get built, but then people lose faith in the story or the canon or the creator and delete them. you read it at like, 3am, and can’t remember the title months later when you look for it again.

the tiktok these comments are from was lamenting about the loss of a favourite fic—it (the tiktok) had 85k+ likes, and over 700 comments, mostly similar to these. people talking about downloading fics to read on a tablet only for them to disappear the next day. using the wayback machine and combing through results, just to find something they loved. i think it’s sweet because it’s so human—how easily we love something, and how easily we lose it. i used to print out my favourite fics, as a kid—i still have a binder of them, buried under yearbooks and the old journals i kept during those topsy turvy preteen years. i could tell you the overarching plot to a Cardcaptor Sakura fantasy AU i read (and loved; it became my personality for months afterwards) but i can’t remember how it ended, or if it even did. i finally broke down and signed up for an account on AO3 specifically to bookmark an old, old fic that i had read somewhere else, years and years and years ago and found again on AO3 only because i accidentally stumbled on the author here on tumblr (i had only found the fic in the first place all those years ago because of a playlist). i used the same shade of lipstick for years purely because a fic i really liked had the main character apply it (it was a limited edition one at the time; i bought my first one from a ebay seller in the UK at double the retail price, lmao) while the love interest watched them, but i can’t remember the name of it, only how it made me feel (and how, for years afterwards, i would wear that shade whenever i felt like the day had something promising to it).

one of the first anon’s i ever got, in the early days of this tumblr, was someone who asked me if it was okay if they downloaded surrender—and of course it was. of course it is. there was a point, during the final stretch when i was trying to write the last chapter, that i almost lost the entirety of what i had written for that fic—and i mean, it was on AO3 by that stage so it would’ve only set me back a chapter or so, but it goes to show how fragile things can be. how sometimes fics only last in tiny ways—because of the unfinished PDF file someone downloads. The patchy memory of someone’s who’s jumbling it and three other fics together. Because someone wore the same shade of lipstick you mentioned, off-hand, for years afterwards.

(this is a love letter to the silent readers; the silent savers. the lurkers. fandom and the internet at large is made of lurkers (eighty-five thousand likes. seven hundred comments). people who saved fics and waybacked them and will reread them, even uncompleted. telling each other we did a good job, that we liked this or we liked that is wonderful, and fun, and a great (and important) way to build a community and has also given me my current friends—but sometimes something you make will matter and live on in a way you will never, ever know. and it’s just how it is. it’s part of the fun and it’s part of the charm. it’s just how we work as people.)

#floating rubbish island: mermaid spam #shall i do a part two for the opposite end of the spectrum? the readers who tell you as they’re rereading? #the ones that come back to point out details that have stuck with them? #sometimes i worry i don’t give enough to those of us in the community who do that #today i got a comment on surrender and it made my whole day—which otherwise would’ve been spent being miserable trying to sweat out my fever #people are so sweet and i feel so empty-handed for them sometimes #because time is so valuable—people don’t *have* to comment #people don’t *have* to note the tiny details #i share these fics because i *want* to—that is a choice i make knowing that maybe people won’t like it or respond to it #no one asks me to spend the time i do on these fics and so no one owes me for it #which makes the time someone *does* spend commenting or tagging or saying hello even more precious

so after cleo and etho teamed at the end of last life cleo's takeaway was 'oh this man is not the untouchable minecraft legend everyone makes him out to be, he's just some dude' while etho's was 'we do not under any circumstance mess with cleo' and that's so real of them

#cleo fully going oh etho's kinda rubbish at pvp he just has a good reputation from the old days this session was hilarious #zombiecleo #etho #ethoslab #double life smp #last life smp

Hey Baba, it seems like you've been seeing a lot of yucky stuff online right now. A lot of people who aren't remembering their manners and are forgetting that there's people behind a screen. I know you like your screen time but please remember that the world isn't all like that okay? Some people are different online and forget their values and let's remember that these days, algorithms perpously show you things that'll make you upset. Yes, yes it's not very fair, is it sweetheart. Please remember to take some breaks and that the world isn't really like that. It's so important to protect yourself. Yes, silly even if you think you don't deserve it; because you do.

imagine finding out somebody cheated on a test in freshman year of high school when they were still a dumb teenager and deciding they deserve to see all their friends and family die right in front of them as punishment. anyway thats basically what the time ghost did to the kid in danny phantom.

the more i see mutuals here & on twitter talk about how the game just breaks more with every patch, the more i wish larian had just made us wait another three years

#ophelia.txt #i know this song and dance has been done to death but act three in particular is utter rubbish in terms of both stability and storytelling #the other two acts feel mostly polished & compelling but act three is the last 200 words of an essay written the day it’s due so to speak

I wish we had a site for original stuff that wasn’t wattpad because sometimes I just want to write about, like, vampires or something without having to do intense mental gymnastics to make the shoehorned anime boyfriend characterisations work. 😔😔😔 there needs to be an AO3 equivalent for original stuff—a site that’s untouched by outside influences trying to make money off of the content inside it. 😔😔😔 Maybe I’ll just start printing out little handmade zines or something, idk. I like fanfic so much because it’s so wild and free, like, you can do whatever you want, however you want, because everyone’s here for the love of it, because no one’s worried about money. It’s how all creating should be and i just feel like that once you start wanting to write (and share) stories that don’t involve a pre-existing anime boyfriend, your options for sharing it (freely) narrow down to either wattpad or carrier pigeon. and obviously!!!! im not opposed to people making money from their writing!!!!! it’s just i have a hundred and one different things i want to write that sometimes involve anime boyfriends and sometimes don’t, and with roughly 93 of those i just want to throw them out into the universe—without having to pour in the work and consideration that comes with creating something that eventually involves other peoples money!!! like… i just want to tell stories. 🥺 sdjkfhsdlkfhjksdjfhkj. i hate capitalism i hate it here i hate it here so much.

I have been informed by a podcast Im listening to that David Arnold, the composer for the Good Omens theme and background music, also collaborated with Michael Price on the BBC Sherlock theme and background music. Will I ever be free of BBC Sherlock or will it just be lurking in the background ready to jump scare me like this at any point in time. Thats why the theme tunes sound so similar. God fucking damn it.

#the podcast in question is called Rubbish And Probably A Podcast I recommend it #anyway Im gonna be thinking abt this for the rest of the day why must sherlock haunt me like this!! #to clarify for anyone who still enjoys it I was a big fan once I just could not stand the queerbaiting and belittling of the audience #however the music does still slap I'll give them that #augh #good omens

I do not envy the choice you faced in deciding the brackets. Indeed, particularly now, as the semi-final steams along. I know that for myself, there's an element of Rock-Paper-Scissors to the decision. Had Brandon faced Knightley, or Wentworth faced Darcy, or Knightley faced Darcy, I may have chosen very differently than I did.

Do you suppose you might post a third-place poll as well alongside the finals?

The semi-finals have been so painful! And yes I plan to do a 24 hour poll for third place starting Saturday after the semi-final polls have ended

#saturday uk time sorry I'm rubbish at doing the offical time things but yes the day inbetween the semi-final ending and the final going up:) #asks
