Nandor: Whatever Guillermos Flaws May Be Hes Always Been Loyal To Me

Nandor: whatever Guillermo’s flaws may be he’s always been loyal to me

The Baron:

who are you when you are not watching tv or movies? when you aren't playing video games or reading a book or fanfiction or listening to music or whatever other kind of media that you engage with? who are you when your mind isn't in another world or story, when you are forced to sit with yourself and the only experience you have is your own sensorial life? can you define yourself outside of what you consume? who is that person? do you like them? can you bear it? can you bear it?

Wait Guillermo heard none of that. He didn't hear Nandor's speech while cradling "his" body, or even see Nandor cradling the body. He didn't hear Nandor defend his loyalty or beg for his life to be spared. He doesn't even know about the sweater.

I kin Dorian Gray because I am vain and constantly afraid people know my sins.

I kin Basil Hallward because I’m a gay simp

like fundamentally i hold published books and fanfiction to different standards, because they are very different things

i feel like this should go without saying, but some people in fandom don't understand it. a published book has the expectation that you (or your local library) pay money to get it, and so i have higher standards of quality for it

but fanfic is published for free online. all it is asking of you is your time. so who cares about grammar issues or pacing weirdness or continuity mishaps, because the person writing it was one person, or one person and an equally-unpaid beta reader, so like, it literally does not matter

These apps don’t get it. I want to have a ‘crush’ on someone and that is not possible unless they’re someone already in my life by happenstance and then I get obsessed with them for no reason. You don’t get that with a app because suddenly you’re on a ‘date’ having ‘drinks’. Like no sorry I don’t want to talk to you about my relationship history I want to look at you in a group setting and make up things about you in my head. Ok?
