I Keep Seeing This So I Feel It Needs To Be Said: Trying To Ship Wednesday Addams With Other Characters

ao3 is not instagram, and it’s not embarrassing to comment on a story that’s old. we understand that you just happened to come across it now; writing is magical in that you often come across the right story at just the time you need to read it.

also, authors will literally cry over their keyboard if you comment on the stuff they write.

THE VERY FIRST STAR TREK SLASH FIC PUBLISHED

“A Fragment out of Time”, published in 1974. Kirk / Spock. page 1 page 2

I had to share it with you because I can’t stop laughing, and every time I reread it it just gets funnier and fUNNIER

Ohhhhhh...

Okay, guys, I’m an idiot. When I was a kid, I thought Zuko got shot in the stomach with lightening and was really confused about how he survived, but I was soooo wrong.

He survived because he DID redirect it. He catches it with his left hand

But he had to jump to catch it so he isn’t grounded. He has to try to direct lightening around his heart into his stomach while he’s falling.

And as soon as he hits the ground, he directs it out his right hand

I always wondered why his burn scar didn’t look any different before and after Katara healed him. Then I realized, the visible superficial burn wasn’t the issue. The whole time he was falling, he was trying to control lightening that was literally burning him from the inside out.

Damn, son, that’s fucking metal.

Zutara incorrect quotes because BRAINROT

Zuko: *fast-forwards all the way through the movie*

Katara: You can't just skip to the happy ending!

Zuko: I don't have time for their problems.

Zuko: Wait you like me? For my personality?

Katara: I know, I was surprised too.

Zuko: I owe you one.

Katara: That’s ok. You can just date me and we’ll call it even.

Katara: I feel like doing something stupid.

Zuko: I’m stupid, do me.

Zuko: What are you in the mood for?

Katara: World domination.

Zuko: That's a bit ambitious.

Katara: You are my world.

Zuko: Aww...

Katara:

Zuko:

Katara:

Zuko: OH.

Katara, trying to flirt with Zuko: I think both of our families suck.

actually I reject the notion that books and films give women too high expectations of men, the grand gestures and perfect words aside. It's not asking too much to desire to be pursued, treasured, and protected, or for a man to have a character that you admire and would make you want to follow his lead. It's wrong to expect perfection of anyone, but it isn't wrong to set the bar high. a man of character will rise to the occasion not persuade you to lower your standards. that's it that's the post

i think the biggest gripe i rly have with the "no kink in public! no pda!" people is that these issues are all them problems. like. how do i explain this. if you're uncomfortable with someone wearing an o-ring necklace in public then that is because the presence of sexuality stirs negative emotions within you. the two solutions to that are to either deal with it or to impose rules that prevent others from doing that.

the problem with imposing these rules is that there is no clear line between what is and isn't kink, what is and isn't a sex thing, and if you try to say "no sex stuff in public!" you are opening your community to the kind of scrutiny that lets authority figures decide what is and isn't a socially acceptable display of sexuality. which is how we end up with terfs and homophobes claiming that drag should be made illegal because it's a sex thing and the existence of effeminate gay men somehow threatens children.

i much prefer the solution that involves the sex-averse person just getting over it or, idk, taking responsibility for themselves. you are never going to eradicate sex from your life completely because it's a part of human existence but if it makes you that uncomfortable you can remove yourself from certain spaces, curate your online experiences, check doesthedogdie for content that you might find triggering, etc. ultimately you should be unpacking why sex offends you so much. why do you find it uncomfortable? is it jarring? maybe you've had traumatic experiences in the past that you need to work through without imposing unreasonable expectations on the people around you. maybe you're just not interested in sex, or are asexual, or find it annoying. you're allowed to find it annoying and uncomfortable and to want no part in it, but that doesn't warrant a "get sex out of my face forever!!" mentality. you don't get to harass people for whom that is an important part of their lives. the tgirl wearing a dog collar who is existing in the same room as you is not sexually assaulting you, she's just wearing a dog collar. get over it.

yeah no offense to confucius or anything but if i was about to embark on a journey of revenge i would simply not dig two graves

every now and then i see posts about how kids these days don’t know how to pirate anymore but i was hanging with an 11 yr old today and she was telling me about all her favourite illegal streaming sites to watch anime and how she made a japanese google play account so she could play magia record so i guess i’m here to reassure you that cool kids very much do still exist. and they will never go extinct as long as you keep teaching your little cousins and neighbour kids how to pirate
