I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes
Black cats are NOT decorations.
If you adopt a black cat, or any cat for that matter, it is a real, living animal that needs your care and attention for the rest of its life. Do not just adopt a black cat for Halloween and then return it to the shelter. It's cruel. Black cats rarely get adopted because of the superstition surrounding them and some are even killed on purpose, so adopting one just to return it is like teasing the poor thing.
The issue of adopting black cats for Halloween and then releasing or giving them up is so bad that many shelters do not allow adoption of black cats in October.
There is no excuse to be cruel to an animal, especially if it's just because it has dark fur.
Please, respect cats.

this is a line of dialogue from a bungo stray dogs au I am writing
Alright then,” Chuuya nonetheless continued. “If letting Teruko live was such a bad idea, I'll make sure I don't repeat my mistakes with you.”
the fic name is Wingless Angel if you're curious, by rabidbites (me)
I have an idea! 💜 (if you don't mind such thing, of course!)
Everyone reblog this ask and write about the fic you're the most proud of. Published one, unpublished one, work in progress, doesn't matter! Just say some nice things about your work. 💜
Heck yeah! Feel free to share a few sentences you’re proud of! Tag a friend or several!
I’ll go first!
This is a line of dialogue from a semi-crack fic my friend and I work on periodically:
“I highly doubt there’s a bomb in your e-mail, Timothy,” Jon says, emerging from his office, looking all for the world like a disgruntled rat in a posh button-up and knitted sweater. A posh rat — a prat, if you will.

okay, so thing is, fanfics are allowed — as in they’re not banned — because nobody is supposed to be profiting off of copyrighted characters.
this is why popular site like Archive of Our Own is allowed to be up and running, because no one is supposed to be making money from fanfics.
the fact AO3 is allowed to be up and running, unfortunately, can and will most likely change if people start normalizing commissioning fanfics and making profit off of them.
because the second those big companies learn people are profiting off of their copyrighted characters, the target they will attack after you (in terms of legal action) is a platform like Archive of Our Own, which will likely ruin it all for everybody and every fandom.
imagine Archive of Our Own getting shut down because fanfics were banned because people were profiting off of them. (I know AO3 isn’t only about fanfics, but since it’s mostly known for fanfics, it will most likely get targeted and that will most likely mean it’ll get shut down if worst comes to worst.)
honestly. most people write fanfics in their free time for free out of passion and love they have for their favorite characters.
people read fanfics for free because that’s their source of happiness.
I’m not saying there will be no fanfics left in this world if they really are banned, because people will always find a way. but it WILL be so much harder having to sneak around and find a way to post fanfics without them getting removed at best, the authors getting sued at worst. and it WILL be harder for readers to find your works if we have to censor key words and character names in order to avoid getting caught.
it’s so much easier like this, we can freely post fanfics without having to hide and censor key words or worrying about anything.
no, I’m not making this post for the sake of those big companies. this post isn’t about “hey, don’t profit off of their characters”. it’s about “hey, don’t risk ruining fanfics culture as a whole for everybody by profiting off of them and putting a platform like Archive of Our Own in jeopardy.”

I haven't done a full illustration like this in so long, so this was a lot of fun!
one of my personal autism things is getting excited about seeing something related to someone else's interest and showing it to them. i dont care about dr who but whenever i see something about it i used to always point it out to my grandma (who is a huge dr who fan) because seeing the stuff i like makes me happy! and i wanted to make her happy!
autistic people do show love, its just sometimes a bit different than the neurotypical way.
