I have a silly question,

where does everyone go specifically for 'x reader' 'x oc' and 'x character' fics?

personally, tumblr, wattpad, and ao3 in that order. Because of this ive always thought that this is what each platform was best at but im curious about how other people see this

Really good question! I primarily use Ao3 for ‘x character’ and don’t read much ‘x reader’ or ‘x oc’

How ‘bout yall?

When I was little, two of the cats we had had litters at the same time and when one mama stopped nursing a couple of the kittens, the other mama took over

Cats either love everything and everyone or hate everything and everyone. But if treated right, you’ll always be greeted with the former.

I keep thinking about the not-things (and the midnight entity, the scherzo creature, the solitract, etc.), and how they all, in their own ways, specialize in mimicking people. Copying voices and faces and thoughts and mannerisms is ubiquitous for creatures that live in the fringes of spacetime. Which makes sense; how else is a kinless creature from an empty place supposed to learn and evolve if not by latching on and copying the first tangible thing they encounter? What's a better way to escape into that wider universe than looking like the people there, encouraging them to bring you back to their world? Integrating into our universe is functionally their equivalent to leaving the nest and learning how to fly, whether that be malicious or harmless, conscious or instinctual. So, on that note: Consider the Doctor, another being found on the fringes of the universe. Consider how they imprint on people after regeneration ("like a chick hatching from an egg", to quote a deleted line from the Christmas Invasion). The way one time lord in the audios regenerates into a bird after spending years on a bird planet, and the Doctor, after spending so much time on earth, has been described as half human. Consider the way the child Tecteun found just happened to look Gallifreyan, the way this is directly paralleled with the Qurunx, a creature that takes on a form that "we instinctively want to protect, as a defence". Consider this:

The Time Lords view regeneration as a conduit for immortality, but what if the actual purpose, the naturally evolved trait that would matter to a lonely creature from outside the universe, is mimicry?

Mortality - a small blurb of The (12th) Doctor x reader

“I don’t like flowers much, what about you?” You say, spinning the daffodil between your fingers. 

The Doctor looks up curiously, plucking the plant from your hands. “Flowers are beautiful. Sad, but gorgeous.” he stops to smell it. “They’re the most mortal thing on this planet.”

“How?”

“Well, for starters, they’re constantly being plucked and pulled from their homes and—”

You start to laugh. “Homes?” 

“Yes, homes. How could you think that where they live, eat, and grow weren’t their homes?” 

Your face falls. “Well, i mean… They’re plants. They’re not like us.”

“I’m not like you either.” he gestures to himself. “I’ve got two hearts!” He begins to pluck more flowers, setting them gently in his other hand as he slowly forms a bouquet. “And you’re not like me.”

“So?” 

“So, I haven’t got you chained up, do i?” He smiles as you shake your head. “That’s the problem with humans. If it’s different, it’s either wrong or entertainment.” 

“But—”

“No,” he snaps, “drop it.” He hands you the bouquet.

“You do realize you just did what you yelled at me for doing, right?” Yet, you smile as you smell the flowers. 

“Yes, it’s usually how i work best.”

I used to be a fanfic writer, and coming from experience, not every blog is gonna get the same attention as others.

On my first blog (a few years ago now which is crazy to think about) I had over 2k followers and almost everyday I was sitting wondering why I’m not as “popular” as other blogs with around the same amount of followers was. I would wonder why I would get all these likes but barely any reblogs or comments or asks.

(There was one person that would reblog EVERY fic I posted and I don’t remember their name but I still appreciate them LOADS)

Turns out, they were appreciating my works, just not in the same way as others. It doesn’t mean your fics are any less good than everyone else’s, it just means you have a different audience.

Because not everyone’s audience is gonna be the type to be super interactive. In the entire almost two years I was on that blog, I gained over 2k followers, but I also matured a lot and realized even though I wasn’t getting as much interaction, my works were still as good as I thought they were.

Anyway, you probably weren’t even complaining 🤷‍♀️ I just needed a reason to rant about this. And if you were complaining, I hope I helped some 😂

Edit: tldr; everyone’s works are valuable and just because you’re not getting a ton of more personal interactions (comments, asks, etc) doesn’t mean your fics (or art, or whatever you post here) isn’t any less good than someone else’s.

Another edit: yes interaction is fun and amazing but it’s also not everything

my dream as a fanfic writer is to write a story which people want to talk to me about and send asks about afterwards and discuss things the characters did and the symbolism and meanings behind certain lines and I'll be all "hehe thanks" but irl I'll be in literal tears because I wrote something that means something to someone

it's okay if you're not on a rec list

it's okay if you don't have 1000 followers

it's okay if you haven't written as much as you wanted to this year

it's okay if you doubt yourself

it's okay to want more attention

it's okay if you're too shy to share your work

you are valued. you are here. you are important.

there's at least one person out there who recognizes you and looks forward to what you have to say.

you belong.

{I LET YOU GO} — The (12th) Doctor, Doctor Who

You wait a moment, Doctor. Let’s get it right. I’ve got a few things to say to you. Basic stuff first. Never be cruel, never be cowardly. And never ever eat pears! Remember – hate is always foolish…and love, is always wise. Always try, to be nice and never fail to be kind. Oh, and….and you mustn’t tell anyone your name. No-one would understand it anyway. Except….Except….children. Children can hear it. Sometimes – if their hearts are in the right place, and the stars are too. Children can hear your name. But nobody else. Nobody else. Ever. Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind. Doctor – I let you go.

{ HISTORY OF MAN } — Maisie Peters

He stole our youth and promised heaven

The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen

Women's hearts are lethal weapons

Did you hold mine and feel threatened?

Hear my lyrics, taste my venom

You are still my great obsession

{ PRETTY } — An original poem

Youre pretty like the rain on a sunny day

You’re pretty like the clouds in the sky

Smiling as the people pass by

And like the sun shining through the window

As it catches your eye, and you wake, and you smile. And I know where I’m meant to be.

{ INTIMACY } — an original poem

Intimacy is poetry.

It’s the lines

That connect to the stars

To create the most beautiful picture

To the human eye
