not writing for the craft. not even writing for the fandom. writing for my two little deranged friends who suffer the same brainrot as me and want to make our silly lil dolls do silly lil nefarious little acts
thinking of a romcom where dev patel's a snobby city journalist, and lana condor's a romance novellist who also writes thrillers under a different pen name. he puts the romance novel on his "worst of" list and the thriller under "best", not knowing they're by the same person–
John Boyega risks his career *every* single time he speaks out about racism in the entertainment industry. The issues he’s talking about, and faced, are way bigger than any fandom or ship (but also, interconnected). I urge you to consider that today.
by age 30 you should have 5 burner emails, 1 stan twt, 3 ao3 pseudonyms, a stack of unfinished wips and a false sense of hubris about your creative abilities
me: cowboy tropes are tired
jordan peele: puts steven yeun in a lil cowboy fit
me: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before–
i don’t care if a ship is canon actually! i am not here for the validation of the source material i am here to make up fun lil headcanons about possible side quests and to be insane with my five equally chaotic friends
ben affleck: attempting the queen's english
jodie comer: actual queen's english
adam driver: fuck it this is my longshot oscar ballot, im doing the midwestern
friend: “wow you’re spending a lot of time writing that note on your phone huh... new beau??”
me: [typing effusive praise and love for an ao3 writer who i’ve never met] *high-pitched awkward laughter*
fanfic is the ultimate game of improv. missing details? no problem. characters never interacted beyond one line? i’m making up an elaborate scenario where they did. a monster ate the main character? i ship the monster w the oc now. defy your masters
namor is hilarious actually cus who decides after sitting on his mother’s heirloom bracelet for 500 years that it’d be great to give it to a princess who he met 5 seconds ago
nobody will remember:
- your salary
- your fancy title
- how "busy" you were
- how stressed you were
- how many hours you worked
people will remember:
- That one fic you wrote in the middle of the night while while fuelled by coffee and insanity and somehow, people liked it
what's your headcanon for older Reylo? mine's that they practice their morning saber forms after kaf (and uh, other stuff) ⚔️
thanks
@proporgo
for drawin' this awesome commission!
i have nothing to promote except pls shower your ao3 writers with as much affection as you want because we all love it
also buy them a kofi if they have a link
ok bye!!
please for the love of god give them a romcom make it CEOs snowed in at a mountain lodge, make it friends to lovers at a resort, make it unlikely love by rival food trucks, ANYTHING just take my money
So when other people wear a mask, stay inside a lot, and start facetiming their crush without a shirt, they're "dealing with a global pandemic." But when I, Kylo Ren, do it —
you want me to pick between adam driver and ben barnes? the brash introverted american ex-marine theatre kid vs the west london guy who sings too earnestly at acoustic guitar night? worst of both worlds
“I got my SAG card 70 years ago. In ‘the good earth’ the producers had [yt] people play asian roles with their eyes taped up because the producers said ‘Asians aren’t box office’. Well. Look at us now!” JAMES HONG UR SO REAL 😭
when i read that gong yoo used his celebrity status to fund and push for "Silenced" to be made and literally helped change the course of political history in south korea
"my child is fine" your child ran to exegol to fight palpatine with nothing but a raggedy sweater and the knowledge that when he was with his wife, he was on the right path
the best thing about fic is that you can write the most self-indulgent story in the entire world, and there’s probably at least 5 people out there who will enjoy it
the song (con la brisa) playing on the
#WakandaForever
soundtrack when namor was showing shuri around talokan had THESE lyrics and you’re telling me the man isn’t down BAD????
*taps mic* hi, this is a signal-boost thread for BIPOC
#reylo
creators (who I know of). this isn't an all-inclusive list by any means. so feel free to tag others, or self-rec.
let's go:
we, as a society, deserve a gothic adaptation with adam driver on windswept moors, an american accent (for reasons) and a story where his character lives
when ao3 rolls around with its fundraising email you'd best believe that i'll be opening my lil purse because we MUST and WILL support our local community church!!!
no one:
literally no one:
me: i really think the more interesting choice would’ve been for kylo ren to join them at the resistance base right at the end
Bubble tea +

= WIN.
I commissioned this from
@_afterblossom_
earlier and she delivered it on my birthday (today!). It is the best thing ever, thank you.
no but really what was namor doing with the gramophone did he have an interior design aqua aesthetique pinterest era in the early 20th century and he decided to just steal one for kicks, like
no WAIT... an interviewer asked tenoch huerta in 2018 what his dream role(s) would be, and he named Tlacaélel, an Aztec king and military commander as one, AND– 😭
that lovely feeling, with a fic writer you trust, when you don’t even have to really read the synopsis - you just strap in and trust them to blast you in their story rocket to somewhere truly exceptional
