Shit shit shit. This is so beautiful. I can't--
Also, Gwaine is such a sweetheart.
Also, Will is here. And I forgot, but Kay was the one he hit initially lolll
So I caved.
Started Loaded March. Again. You'll probably see me in a few weeks once I come to terms with it again lol.
It's so beautiful. Radioman is so so good. How the fuck did I forget it was so good?
And to think I was reluctant to read it the first time because it was so huge. Footloose is a genius and Loaded March is everything I've ever wanted. Captain Pendragon, here I come!

@moonlit-sunflower-writes THANK YOU FOR THIS I NEED IT FRAMED IN MY HOME.
writing should be fun.
make oc playlists. spend hours on moodboards that have no purpose. write self-indulgent fluff that’s never going to be published. scribble three lines of poetry in the back of your history notebook. draw fanart of your own characters. write stupid dialogue that your publishers might hate. start new wips that you might never finish but write those three chapters that make you happy because if you don’t write them, who else will?
writing shouldn’t always be about “will publishers like this” or “i have to reach this word count” or “how do i get the most likes”.
have fun with your writing.
how many more fucking kids have to die in school because these selfish ass lawmakers don’t see the the importance of making stricter gun laws
REPEAT AFTER ME
Being aromantic/arospec does not always mean that someone is aroace
There are people who can be aromantic or be on the aromantic spectrum without identifying as aroace
Alloaros exist
People who don't identify as a specific sexuality, but still identify as aromantic alone exist
Not all aromantics are asexual as well
I feel like between the forceful psychiatrization of chronic illness (because it's much easier to just tell physically disabled people with complex conditions that it's All In Our Heads than to actually treat us) and the boom in pop psychiatry, people have stopped looking at the human brain as an actual like... Tangible bodily organ and more as an abstract entity. Like the physiological soul. And imo that's doing so, so much damage.
You know you don’t have to make up non-textual reasons to dislike a character, right? You can just dislike the character just because. And you also realize that if there are textual reasons you dislike the character—like the character’s past or lack of on-screen time—you don’t have to make up more reasons to dislike said character, right? You can just leave it at, “I dislike him because of his past and I don’t think the show has developed him enough.”
You don’t have to write a meta about how you dislike a character, with your reasoning being “he’s a predator” and your evidence being “because gay men cheat and fail to use prophylactic measures” or “because he has a 10-year age gap with his 34 y/o boyfriend” or “because a teenager said he’s cool” or “because gay men aren’t actually gay; they’re bi and lie” or “because Buck is a hot young thang™️, and gay men only sleep around” or “Buck’s feelings were too ambiguous before he understood he liked men and Tommy forced himself on Buck.” Because then you’re no longer relying on textual evidence; you’re relying on homophobic stereotypes to justify your fanon interpretation of a gay character. And then you’re proceeding to “joke” about violently killing this fictional man because of these stereotypes.
THAT is the issue people are having. They don’t give a fuck you dislike Tommy; they care that you’re using real-life queerphobic stereotypes, tropes, and jokes to justify disliking him.
“If you have time to be on social media, you also have time for…” “If you have time to watch Netflix, you also have time for…” Yeah, but do I have the energy for it? Do I have the emotional and mental capacity for it? Am I pain-free enough for it? Can I focus on it? Can I do it without leaving my bed? Can I safely do it without risk of (physically or emotionally) injuring myself by pushing past my boundaries?
the whole “heartstopper isn’t realistic” argument is so stupid to me because everyone who says that has clearly not been able to understand the show/comics correctly. you have charlie literally fainting because he’s not eating enough, you have nick doubting himself because he doesn’t know how to help one of the people he cares the most about, you have elle experiencing identity issues surrounding her current life and friendships, you have tara having self esteem issues because her girlfriend is kind of giving her the silent treatment, you have darcy hiding from her friends the literal hell she’s going through in her house, you have isaac experiencing his sexuality awakening alone because he feels he can’t trust his friends, you have imogen literally going through another sexuality awakening after being heartbroken two times, and finally, you have tori literally at the brink of tears in every scene because of depression. heartstopper IS realistic. you are just too obsessed with drugs and over sexualisation of teenagers. grow up.
Guys, gals, enbies, people who are posting on AO3 do not care about the things you don't like about their fics. Seriously, you don't need to tell us and, in fact, we're basically pleading with you to not tell us.
Don't like how it's being written? Click back.
Don't like one of the characters? Click back.
Have nothing positive to say? Click back.
Legit do not comment your negative shit because we do not care.
We're not writing for you, we're sharing it with you.
You know, for a long time it bothered me when Shen Jiu fans say "he deserved better", then I realized that it was because of the wording (plus how self indulgent fan work that treat this are).
I agree that he didn't deserve to be enslaved and abandoned, and I don't think he completely deserved to live any time as a human stick before being killed (which for me the amount living like that was probably worse than the act itself of being in this kind of fiction works), but at the same time I don't think he deserved to be aid by his martial siblings, even less for them to like or love him. I don't think he deserves an easy life after abusing disciples. I don't think he deserved Binghe forgiving him and letting what he did go.
He didn't deserve everything he went through, specially as a child, but he also didn't deserve, as an adult, to be given something better just because of his past.
I absolutely believe he deserved to be a human stick. If he didn’t want retribution from his victim, he shouldn’t have been victimizing people, should he have? The victim gets to decide how they deal with an abuser that tried to murder them on multiple occasions, especially if said victim was a child during all that. You deserve what you earn.
Anyways, what Shen Jiu stans don’t seem to understand is that Shen Yuan’s transmigration was the “better.” Instead of Shen Jiu destroying his reputation and sect and being responsible for the deaths of everyone in it by his own actions, he dies quietly and gets his reputation laundered by a person who is morally superior to him (by virtue of, you know, actually having morals to begin with). Shen Jiu gets to reap the benefits of Shen Yuan’s work even though he’s dead. If shit was really fair, Shen Yuan would’ve transmigrated into another character free of Shen Jiu’s sins and been tasked with completely ruining Shen Jiu before he had the chance to damn everyone else with him. That would be what Shen Jiu actually deserved. Instead, folks think a qi deviation fixed his attitude problems, and everyone lives happily ever after. Did Shen Jiu earn this grace? Absolutely not, and yet that was the greatest kindness mxtx bestowed upon her character. His stans should be goddamn grateful.
Shinee fucking ran so that kpop could walk and those are just the facts that everyone should accept.
They debuted when kpop had a very specific style and concept of what young boy groups could do in order to sell but Shinee really knocked on the doors with replay and as soon as they opened, they deadass shot out Lucifer and Ring DD and no body was prepared lmao.
They legitimately redefined kpop and I really don’t think they get enough credit for that? FROM DAY ONE, they had the most intricate and class choreographies in kpop. There’s a reason why shinee are called performance legends. It’s because you can pick any damn shinee choreography and it’s just so amazingly well executed; Not to mention they’re the first kpop idols who started releasing choreography practice videos and dancing without backup dancers which as y’all can see, has become the norm now.
Also, TILL DATE Shinee had the most packed schedule for any kpop rookie group ever. They were out there performing for 8 hours and then going back home just to rehearse for another 8. Their success was so unexpectedly high and they were literally teenagers handling all that fame. Taemin was a literal child with a bowl cut ffs. Also, don’t come for my bowl cut children, they looked PRECIOUS in the replay MV.
Even as early as 2011, Shinee being known as variety show and pilot experts because they’re naturally so funny and have a bond within them that easily puts people at ease and makes for one crazy episode with no chaos or anything “extra” per say. Just shinee being shinee is enough. In an industry where idols don’t even react to other female idols at award shows cause of the knetz, ya bois, Taemin and Minho really went fuck it and did whole collab stages with Sunmi and Yuri. The flex. Not to mention the way Shinee and especially Jonghyun & Taemin said a huge Fuck you to Korea’s oh so precious “masculine aura” and just went on with releasing pretty boy and Taemin saying makeup isn’t something for girls and that makeup is for all genders, a legend.
The way Shinee had fans in countries like Dubai, Russia, India and many many others at a time when kpop really wasn’t a thing? It was just Korean music for Koreans but shinee went ahead and did their thing and it broke language barriers as if they were air. It’s 2020 and Barack Obama talking about shinee still feels like a fever dream to me tbh.
Not even mentioning anything else now BUT just their music and it’s impact man?? The way shinee put out ALBUM after ALBUM with no rest and the fact being that, Every damn song they put out was a WHOLE BANGER.
Like?? SHINEE’S FUCKING DISCOGRAPHY??
JULIETTE, SHERLOCK, RING DD, REPLAY, LUCIFER, STRANGER, GOOD EVENING, VIEW, PICASSO, MARRIED TO THE MUSIC, WHY SO SERIOUS?? BRUH WHAT EVEN?
SHINEE songs that get covered by rookie idols everyday, mentioned by established idols as their inspiration during trainee days, songs that the entire population of Korea would know. Songs that trainees practice on for hours hoping that one day they too, would debut.
Shinee, a boygroup who’s know as the group who “made their own concepts” and everyone else simple followed.
And the craziest part is they are one of the longest standing groups in kpop, been together for 12 whole years and are still as relevant and iconic as ever. The fact that all five members have so much solo potential and even then nothing trivial like fame or money had ever seemed to break shinee up as a group is really a feat.
Taemin is no doubts THE best dancer and one of the most successful soloists in the entire kpop industry. A living legend tbh. His discography is hot, molten GOLD. Jonghyun’s VOCALS are liter-al-ly one of the strongest vocals in the entire industry and every damn shinee song is a proof of his sheer excellence as a main vocalist. Cue to Stranger. Onew deadass sang opera for a loaded audience once and left everyone shook and his 40 sec long note. Also, this man leads the chaos that is shinee, mad respect. Key’s rapping style is honestly so distinctive. y’all put him in a room with 10 rappers and he’ll still outsell. Also, his ‘born to shine’ solo stage. HE DID THAT. Minho really out there being a multi talented class act, who’s a main rapper but has vocals that could kill. Not only that, man be out here having acted in so many successful dramas.
Imma say this once and I want all you third gen kpop stans to print it out, Shinee did for kpop what no one else did so you might not stan them or listen to their music but the one thing your ass will do, IS RESPECT THEM. Respect shinee and everything that they went through in a time where kpop wasn’t shit and kpop artists were treated so heartlessly as if they were nothing but cash machines. Also they’re from SM so God knows what kinda shit that company has put them through and one can never imagine the sheer amount of pressure on the members to have been so young and so in pain but having no one to trust at the heights of their success; Imagine being loved and cheered on by thousands on a stage only to come back home to nothing but you and your head in the now deafening silence. Imagine waking up one day and finding out that a boy you spent half your lifetime with, shared your best and worst moments with, is suddenly gone? Just like that? AND THEN having the sheer fucking courage to go up in front of thousand teary eyes and questioning glances, leaving a microphone empty on a stage and while using his damn background vocals; singing your heart out to the songs he wrote under an aqua blue moon knowing, for sure, that what began in 2008 will never really end, ever.
THAT IS SHINEE. FIVE LEGENDS. PERIOD POINT BLANK.
5hinee; OT5 for life, motherfuckers.
you shouldn't have to fucking bare your soul and share sensitive ass shite for the bare fucking minimum of respect in a discussion about topics. I hate it here.

I feel like the fandom often forgets that these
And these
Are just as sapient as these
Like they’re not pets or beasts or whatever, these are guys. They’re dudes. They work a 9-5 and have a wife and kids. Non-octoling Octarians are sapient. Every Salmonid is also sapient that’s why they wear pants.
I just don’t get how people can be so mean to some female characters. Like what’s the point of hating on them continuously?
People started calling Kamala crazy and obsessed because she met her idol, she was pretty exited (who wouldn’t BE?!), but when Peter Parker behaved the same way towards Tony everyone was like: “Omg!! He’s such a cute baby🥺🥺 They have a father-son relationship! So cute uwu!”. LIKE???!!!?!
Another example, Starlord singing and dancing in front of the enemy: “Oh my gosh!! So quirky!! Chris Pratt is the best🤣” . Jennifer Walters/SheHulk twerking with Megan Thee Stallion: “Mcu is in shambles” “This is what feminists like” “Cringe”
Again, Jane Foster has been called annoying, bitchy, or USELESS since 2011 (she only an astrophysicist who proved the existence of the einstein-rosen bridge, won a nobel prize, she’s the reason Thor is part of the avengers, and she’s also a cutie, nothing serious.) She was also called evil, you know by who? Fans of the same guy who took New York as hostage killing millions of people, yeah. She’s a bitch because Frigga died defending her, of course!!! It’s not (partially) Loki’s fault for showing the Dark Elves the fastest way out of the cells. (And I’m saying this as a Loki fan)
I could go on and on talking about Riri as the new ironman or Miguel O’Hara fans hating on Spider-Gwen. (OR LITERALLY THE WHOLE INTERNET ISSUE WITH BRIE LARSON/CAPTAIN MARVEL FOR SOME REASON?!!?)
You have all the rights to dislike a character, just don’t be sexist and incoherent, it’s easy. Why would you hate women for the same reason you love those men?
the way people are so used to baekhyun dropping bangers they were unfazed by pineapple slice... like i don't think you understand how huge this is we could have gotten a flop like we really could have gotten a mid ass release... but he put his entire bussy into a can of pineapples like omg.... that's my goat right there idgaf
