Every writer on Tumblr: “I would combust out of love if someone ever drew fanart of my fic!!” Me: “oh man I wanna draw this scene BUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY HATE IT AND HATE ME FOR THE NERVE”
PRIDE MONTH
LOVE WHOEVER YOU WANT, BE WHOEVER YOU WANT
BE YOURSELF, LOVE YOURSELF.

Me: why was I so,,,,, embarrassing ?? Why did so many read that stuff ?? Do I really write like that ????? Did I really say that ???
My 5yo likes to tell herself stories before she falls asleep and she just came out to me in tears because she accidentally killed off a character.

Shout out to writers who can’t do plots, who write about feelings and moments in time instead. I love reading those fics, and I love writing those fics. Keep on peering into the depths of characters’ hearts and souls in the little moments. You’re exploring the places where canon often fears to tread.
