You Know What?

You know what?

I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.

I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)

I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.

I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.

I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.

I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.

I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.

I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.

I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.

It’s a horror enthusiast’s dream. Going in and seeing all the stuff scattered about. (Although I think the scariest thing in there are the prices.)

are you telling me americans have stores that open up SPECIFICALLY for halloween and just. dont exist any other time of the year. you people are insane

The funny thing about ao3 being down is I was checking Tumblr for HOURS after my fics wouldn’t load to see if anyone else was having problems, and not a single peep. I finally feel validated that I was in fact not being messed with by some unknown force staging my intervention, but the site was actually down.

Forever embracing my love of all things 80s with The X-Files. 💕

What I like to do sometimes to my little cousins when they’re eating is bend down and go, hey this is mine right? This my juice? Then proceed to pretend to go in for a drink. The whole time they sit there giggling and say noooo, that’s my juice. That’s not your juice. And I go oh, it isn’t?

I do this to all five of them, between the ages of 2-8 years old, and every single one laughs when I do it.

Lying to children is fun when they know you are being ridiculous. When you hold up a carrot like “guys look at this huge Cheeto” and they all scream “NOOOOOOOOO that’s a CARE-OTT!”

“What? No, it’s my giant Cheeto.”

“NOOOOOOO!”

After looking it up and having my memory jogged, I realized I actually already knew that about chainsaws and now I’m slightly disappointed.

this is the funniest tweet i’ve seen in months bye
