2023 for Quotable Fanfiction

Hey everyone! Congrats for making it to the end of 2023.  It’s been a long year, and we want to thank you all for following us through it. We hope we've helped you find some new stories and authors to enjoy, or some old favorites to re-read. As always, we wish you all a safe and happy New Year’s, and a better year than the last one.

As a note, the changes to tumblr quote posts mean that reblogging older formatted quotes changes the appearance of the quotes, so we've been slowly reposting older quotes in the new format. We haven't yet decided if we're going to do that with all posts or not, we'll have to see if they change how the old formatting appears when reblogged.

For New Year’s Eve we’ve put together a list of our top 10 quotes of the year by note count (which we will also reblog today in countdown fashion):

10. The New Normal by The Feels Whale (miscellea) (18 notes)

9. Tongfang by The Feels Whale (miscellea) (21 notes)

8. Again by Drich (drich147) (22 notes)

7. 26 Minutes And 42 Seconds by T_5Seconds (22 notes)

6. A World of Water and Crystal by The Feels Whale (miscellea) (26 notes)

5. Let the Darkness Bring Us Into the Light by arinrowan (28 notes)

4. murder cat sword only likes its wielder’s boyfriend by PandaFlower (43 notes)

3. All Old Things are New Again by The Feels Whale (miscellea) (46 notes)

2. ALL I DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN by Misfit_McCoward (47 notes)

And the top quote of 2023:

1. The Act of Creation Will Be Your Salvation by scifigrl47 (90 notes)

Thank you again for following us, and we hope that you continue to find new fanfiction stories to enjoy and share in the new year.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, Joyeux Noel, Happy Three Kings Day, from Gud Yule to Gavlebocken, however you celebrate and share light in the winter darkness, Seasons Greetings to you, the Cryptids, and all the wonderfully crazy Tumblrites that inhabit your blog. There hasn’t been a day I haven’t laughed or learned something. Thank you! 😊🎉🥳

Don't forget to have a Krazy Krampusnacht!

I'm so glad I've been able to entertain! I love all you guys and enjoy making you laugh and hopefully making you think. This year I've been on Tumblr for ten years, in fandom continuously for twenty, and in fandom in toto for twenty-five. It's always been my privilege to build a community here and I like to think that if I haven't always done a perfect job of it, I've done a pretty good job lately and it's only getting better!

Chen Chen - Year’s End

I saw my ancestor making omelets

from leftover bits of shadow. I stood up to give a standing ovation to each now fluffy morsel of dark. Then I stayed

standing, ovationing every shadow,

including the ancestor’s, the houseplant’s, & mine. When I was done, I had a question. Ancestor, I said, am I in a sense your

shadow, or are you somehow mine?

& my ancestor said, Sure. & went about plating the omelets with immense confidence, though obviously did not know

which was my preferred plate

for omelets. It was then I realized that perhaps I hadn’t given a standing ovation. Could one person do such a thing?

Or was it only non-seated

clapping? I wanted to ask my ancestor that, but having sat down by this point, it was time to eat.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

are we still doing this because i have a late submission

#🐉 #this is less about fan content and more about that awful lazy one size fits all #'10 years later theyre happily married with a cute little nuclear family' trope #because ive read some genuinely incredible fics about characters who would Not fucking have kids #ending up with accidental pregnancy scares or child acquisitions that get treated with all the nuance #and thoughtful handling they deserve #but also. i reread one of my favourite fics yesterday and when one character jokingly brought up the idea of children #and the other reacted with genuine visceral disgust and said what hideously awful parents theyd be #i lit up like a fucking christmas tree

finished reading thru The Hundred Years' War On Palestine: A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance by Rashid Khalidi and I cannot recommend it enough. A lot of people and, very likely, the average person not completely blinded by Islamophobia and/or USamerican/European/British exceptionalism are probably at least moderately sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but I don't know how many of us actually understand the degrees by which Israel is based in settler colonial ideology, how it has continually attempted to subjugate and ultimately eradicate the Palestinian people, and the degree by which the US and Britain (but mostly the US ever since the Six Day War in 1967) have been complicit in this continual genocide.

This book is an amazing comprehensive guide on understanding the conflict and I genuinely think you should give it a read (or listen) if you want to learn more. It is one thing to feel sympathy and to declare support for a cause, but I think it is important to take a step further and educate yourself more on it. A ploy I have seen frequently by zionists is to tell people to "educate themselves" before commenting on this genocide, hoping to instill doubt and encourage silence. Well, here is your chance to educate yourself! I'm obviously biased in favor of this one as it is the first major text on the Palestinian genocide that I have read, but I fully believe in its quality.

You can find this book online in PDF format or, if you prefer, you can purchase a physical copy from many of the large retail bookstores; Barnes & Noble in the US sells it, and so does Waterstones in the UK. There is also an official audiobook that you can either purchase through many of the major audiobook distributors (though I recommend avoiding Amazon if it can be helped), but you can also obtain it via other means if necessary. It's actually currently up on YouTube in its entirety, though I won't link it here in case it gets taken down. (It's really easy to search for, just type in the books title + 'audiobook' into your preferred search engine or on YouTube itself and you'll find it. It's about 10 hours long which is a reasonable length for an audiobook). I'll include a link in this post to an overview/lecture/dialogue with the author Rashid Khalidi on the contents of the book conducted at Brown University in 2020.

I do ask you read this book. I think a lot of people already are. I checked a couple of online libraries that have a limited number of audiobook copies that had all been checked out and that to me implies that people do want to educate themselves. There's a sizeable stack of these books at the local bookstore I ocassionally shop at, front and center on the table in the history and world affairs section. It's not hard to find. I hope you all have a good day or evening and I know that if we all take the time to educate ourselves further and approach this genocide with a deeper understanding, we may be able to do something about it. Emotional pleas are not enough, they must be informed ones as well.

if i think about the hunger games in peeta's perspective i WILL start sobbing

#imagine you're a boy who's going to die. you're in love with the girl you've been watching from afar. you know your fate. #you just want to help her‚ but then there's the announcement and she's here in front of you‚ kissing you‚ risking her life for you and you #think‚ i could live and i could love. you think she loves you when she hands you the berries‚ when she puts them in her mouth. #then you both survive and you go back home and nothing is real anymore. you have nothing. no family. no friends. no love. just an empty #house. a drunk for a neighbor. the love of your life walking into somebody else's arms. you think‚ i survived the games. i could survive #this. and you also think‚ i should've bit down on those berries‚ should've felt the juice burst before i died. #and then the third quarter quell announcement rings in your ears and you think‚ she will live and i will die as i should have in the first #place. the girl you love kisses you on the beach and somewhere you heart stirs and your mind revolts and you savor every touch she has ever #given to you‚ in front of the cameras and off. because you are a tribute and you are always being watched and snow's presence looms and #you think‚ i know she cares. but you get taken. you get drugged. you get tortured‚ your mind altered. the girl is a mutt‚ a murderer. she's #everything you despise‚ your mind stirs. your heart revolts. you gain more awareness but cannot distinguish reality from fiction and you #have never known katniss' love. the war ends. you heal. you come home. you plant primrose for her. years down the line‚ you grow in love #more than you thought possible. but some days‚ you cannot tell fiction from reality so you ask the love of your life‚ you love me. #real or not real? and she says‚ real‚ and kisses you. #and you sigh and kiss her back and revel in this. a home. a life. a love. #lit #the hunger games #everlark #otp: real or not real? #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #text #tais toi lys #thgpost
