Never Not Reblogging This Absolute Gem

Astarion: I've caught this stupid disease because of Tav Tav: For the last time, Astarion, feelings are not an illness

I mean, the BBC Merlin series is what.... 10 years old by now? The community is still there and as someone coming late to the party I'm so happy for that!

Go take a leaf out of the Merlin Fandom's book (I say, sincerely hoping there is no major bad thing there I don't know about xD)

Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.

I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.

Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.

Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.

Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.

When your own WIP makes you cry... 😭

(This is not what it looks like, I haven't abandoned my Astarion fics. This is just a quick detour of vomiting out a multi-chapter fix-it to mend my broken heart after s6)

I feel this in my bones.

I don’t know how to explain the turmoil these gay old men put me through on a daily basis.

Made a spell for my dear friend who gets really excited about their interests in our group chats

I share this sentiment. FOR MY AO3 READERS!

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter

I can't stop thinking about how it takes 45 seconds to get to the refrain in Jojo's Leave (Get out).

Nandor and Guillermo stood there for 45 seconds, and even then, Guillermo doesn't immediately turn at "Get out".

He tears away after "its the end of you and me".

This show, honestly...

I don't think there's a better use for ChatGPT than to have them work out obscure presumptions for fics

I mean, it would have taken me ages to find out how fast the average bat would be compared to a car, let alone a vampire in bat form.

My fics are nothing if not scientifically researched. 😜

It's stience. 💁‍♀️

The dreadful path from "Omg I love this chapter so much" to "If I read it once again and find yet another thing to change, I might as well set it on fire"

The time you finally let go and post it should definitely be somewhere in between 😂

Somehow I ended up being both 💁‍♀️

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
