"why Do You Know That" I Am Curious About The World Around Me

Just joined my uni's society for autistic students and I've never felt more comfortable and welcomed in a group of people

Joined the discord yesterday and already people are talking to me and being so friendly and oh my god what have I been missing out on

Beach visits are in order, since the Connecticut River Starfish isn't a thing that actually exists.

FULL FIC SYNOPSIS:

Between picking up the pieces in the wake of the Day Of Unity and its aftermath, reconnecting with Raine, helping King come to terms with his newfound identity and being there for Luz as she navigates a life split between the Boiling Isles and Connecticut, Eda Clawthorne has a lot on her plate.

Taking on another, seemingly-impossible project at this point, especially one that seems particularly ill-advised, is probably not the wisest decision. But then, Eda has never been one to take the easy path in life.

And she made a promise.

AKA - The one where Eda takes it upon herself to give The Collector a second chance, and faces the challenges that go along with it.

Canon-divergent after King's Tide.

Edit: bonus part

Being nice to someone you don’t like is not manipulation btw it’s being civil

i don't need to explain myself you all know what i'm talkin about

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.
