you're fucked! even the perverts on ao3 have only written 12 fics about what you're looking for!

me: omg i can use the tumblr mute function to go back to this old ship tag and make it searchable!!!!! the person who i wanted to mute: orphaned all their fics 🙃🙃🙃 k

nothing like cutting a swath through my TBR list with multiple DNFs in a row 🫩

thinks about. taciturn/stoic character and their carefully constructed facade unraveling under the slightest bit of Horny.

i have grown so accustomed to writing angst lately that now that i’m trying to write the romantic getting-together scene i am flustering MYSELF like i don’t know how to experience happiness anymore damn

my favorite thing in the world is when people initiate an interaction with me in obvious bad faith and then act like the victim when i match energy. “i just shared my opinion” & the opinion was tactlessly phrased and blatantly derisive toward a thing i was obviously having fun with? okay 😌✨

every time i get one of those ao3 fanart scam comments i get so offended. like damn. so you think my writing sucks and i can’t lure the local fanartists into friendship and mutually beneficial gift cycles on my own merit. you think im gonna pay for humiliation??? nah apparently i gotta get good.

do i get why people choose to only read complete fanworks? sure. it’s fine. but when they get on their high horse about how they’ve been ~burned before~ or whatever i’m just like. may i point you to a bookstore? perhaps a library?

you know maybe i’m just a bitch but also it should be considered way more of a faux pas than it is to tell someone who is actively posting a WIP that you’ll read it when it’s complete

mayday mayday my coworker told me i was kicking ass this week i need to slow it tf down and drop expectations back to reasonable levels

oh goody it’s charity wank hours

turned up the thermostat 2 whole degrees and i feel like i’m living in decadence

i have GOT to start checking peoples’ space fights tags before i follow them… i got complacent smh

damn dick cheney died and election day went great… guess my mom probably had a shitty birthday yesterday 🤷‍♀️

every time i go on tumblr im like. do people know they’re allowed to turn off anon. like why are you interacting with faceless people who make you miserable.

i love being in line behind someone who is just like “do you have this thing [cites multiple things that are nowhere on the menu that’s right in front of her]”

shout out to my past self who bought us seated tickets to tonight’s concert and completely fucking forgot until they scanned our tickets and pointed us to the reserved section 😂 she knew i would be feeling real mid-30s about a show in a shitty DC bar

our new work barista is. not good. 😭

“creators made a better story when they incorporated the editing suggestions of others” is the most fork found in kitchen take ngl

nooooo i finally found a hair stylist i’ve been going to consistently and now she’s not at the salon anymore WHERE DID SHE GO

shoutout to our irl friend who suggested plans 6 weeks ago and now day of is pushing things back to a different time because she won’t be back from fucking college football crap for the time she originally told us

do you ever just look at someone’s commentary like “dude shut the fuck up with your negativity” and then realize that with the beautiful sexy power of the block button you can force the change you want to see in your own reality? yay. 😁

sitting here like “ow my head hurts” like i didn’t bash my head into the overhead luggage rack on the train home 😩 like me @ me: yeah girl i wonder why

is there anything sexier than realizing you can bring a normal ass bag into a concert venue

the reminder that “ow! you have needles in your paws!” does not seem to deter mr. bean in the slightest

nothing makes me feel more competent than when i pop the hood instead of pulling the gas lever

I've been making a genuine effort to use the term "fanworks" instead of "content" I feel like it's important, with the rise of fandom fracturing into a "consumer demands" type of vibe instead of the old hobby enjoying and friendship vibe I am more used to

I’m a PASSIONATE fanfic commenter, but sometimes it slows me down because I feel like I need to leave long notes. But, as an author, I know even a short comment matters. So I made a guide to make it easier. Hopefully this helps someone else too! #fanfiction #fanfic #leaveacomment #harrypotterfanfic

i actually love that my two fan fixations over the last year has been “gay with a kid and a side of grief” like cool. wonder what’s going on in my subconscious about that.

hate when i waste hours fussing with a work thing and give up, go to bed early, sleep a full 8 hours, then wake up and knock everything out in an hour. WEIRD RIGHT?

nothing motivates me like walking into the house after driving home all afternoon after a weekend away like opening the door and finding the cat has puked all over the couch we literally just finished paying off this week 😒

genuinely love when as oldest cousin i can casually convince the 16yo to do or try shit her parents or older siblings can’t argue her into lmaooo

akdkdkdj this is gonna sound awful without family history context but: apparently my uncle is team “when my mom dies there’d better be a zoom” and i’m like OOP… yeah actually agreed

when you strongly disagree with the common fandom interpretation of an arc bc of deeply personal lore that you really don’t feel like dropping on main… gotta sublimate it into the fanfic instead ig

i sure thought it was a good idea to write things inspired by things i miss doing with my aunt before her major stroke right before a weekend visit. anyway!!! aphasia fucking sucks man.

i def indulged in multiple pity parties throughout today amidst my adventures in car nonsense, but at least i got to leverage that angst to jot down the better part of a scene i’ve been rolling around in my head for weeks, this is how we cope

i have really let my sneaky skills lapse because all i want to do is take a screenshot of a streaming tv show to illustrate a point and i have to re-figure out how to do that 💀

the way i can spell lieutenant and colonel with my eyes closed but sergeant still always fucks me up… phantoms of fandoms past

boo hiss

also the work coffee shop line was hella long today but the lovely barista just did my regular order and had it for me before i even ordered??? 🥹 she’s so sweet i officially adore herrrr

genuinely still like. how the fuck did i write over 12k for ONE chapter. i’ve been doing fandom so long i remember being a teen excited to break 2k for one update? anyway please laugh, the megafandom megaship firefighters really did eat my brain

tfw you wanna share a fun fandom thing but it would be lowkey doxxing yourself 😩

how did these people find my untagged post - a lament

the youth yearn for livejournal and dreamwidth

coming up with a clever title based on the actual text of what you’re writing as you write it instead of having to peck and hunt for an appropriate song lyric as the draft sits waiting to publish on ao3 is so fucking satisfying actually

quick question is the negative thought spiral bc i’m really as annoying as i feel or do i just need to eat something

i still can’t believe we successfully won the lesbian pop lottery and got chappell tickets for the actual date of our first anniversary. like damn!! i’m excited!!!!

i’m still giggling bc i used to get people mad at me for stanning a fictional war criminal in space and now i got people fussing at me for agreeing that a fictional teenager’s shitty grandparents might have taken him to the airport is a viable possibility to explain something that happened offscreen

genuinely hilarious that, despite giving up all of my efforts to maintain a relationship with my mom, i have never actually declined a call from her, but she still only sends me fuckass letters now (on my birthday and xmas) bc i guess i scolded her too hard for being an asshole last time we spoke
