Me As A Writer: Oh No I Can’t Write That, Somebody Else Already Has

i might elaborate later but fanfic replies literally develop writer’s metacognition and make them better writers

I have read my OTP fall in love a thousand times, and I shall read my OTP fall in love a thousand times more

Me (via akaeijis)

“Slytherins are evil.”

*Aggressively shoves Horace Slughorn towards you* 

“Hufflepuffs are just weak-willed pansies.”

*Points at Cedric Diggory with a large pointing stick* 

“Ravenclaws are just a bunch of snobbish nerds.”

*Majestically reminds you of Luna Lovegood* 

“Gryffindors are just cocky arrogant bigheads.”

*Launches Remus Lupin in your general direction with a catapult* 

They came from somewhere beyond Pluto. 

 They had many questions. 

 “You affix metal and wires to your teeth…use needles to inject portraits into your skin…stab your flesh with shards of metal…remove your hair with lasers…cut patterns into your faces…burn yourselves…remove fat and break your noses and inject diseases into yourselves willingly. Why?” 

And we answered “For beauty.” 

 Fireworks confused them. “These horrible explosions, with their colors and patterns? Is this an act of war, or is it in worship of some god?” 

 We answered, “No. It is in celebration.” 

Explaining vaccines was difficult. “You give yourself disease on purpose? You force it into your blood with needles? Why?” 

We answered, “To teach our bodies to resist it.” 

 They felt awe at our true wars. At our missiles that harnessed the power found in stars, at our weapons that spread poison and disease, at our flying machines that destroyed thousands while we flew them from continents away. They asked, “For what reasons do you go to war?” 

We answered, “To gain money and resources, to exact revenge, to impose and uphold faith and ideology, and, now and then, on our best days, to answer a cry for help.” 

 They asked us, “The moon is barren, and yet you went. Mount Everest is a deadly place, and yet you go. The ocean is vast and frightful and travel to its depths is near impossible, and yet you are trying to dive. Why?”

 We answered, “To show that we could, to show that we can, to show that we will.”   

They asked, “Why?” 

We answered, “Because how dare there be questions unanswered, realms unexplored, lands unconquered. How dare this reality not fall under our command. We will rule this universe or we will die trying.”

They didn’t come back, and no others dare visit. 

 That’s alright. 

 We’ll find them.

You're doing it on purpose, right?

Can we - I don't know... Buy you in this box and bring you home?

Both...?

If I had a dollar for every fictional character I fell in love with, I could finally afford therapy.

So true...

Funny is more appropriate, but anyway. Why not, indeed?

This June shall never speak so low of herself anymore !

High and mighty

i think it’s nice to occasionally refer to yourself in the 3rd person
