Is it weird that I find the smell of old books really horrible? Everyone seems to romanticise the smell. But I’m reading an old book right now and I feel like I can hardly breathe…

I'm reading Scarlet rn and I can't get over how many time the words "alpha", "beta" and "omega" are used 😭😭😭

Hey. I'm very sorry 911 was disappointing, but I really need to point out that there is a huge difference between queer coding and "queerbaiting," and the difference between those terms really matters when critiquing queer media.

The spn writers worked hard to get destiel across on screen in a way that got around network censors. The writers weren't "baiting" us; they weren't maliciously trying to trick us into watching the show just so they could rip the rug out from under us. They were genuinely trying to write a queer narrative amidst network censorship – by definition, that is queer coding, not queerbaiting.

(We've known all this for a long time, but Misha reiterated this point just this weekend when he talked about how the creatives were all consciously involved in making destiel happen – including Jensen.)

I know it's a low hanging joke to continuously call spn "the longest queerbait of all time" or whatever, but it really is not at all accurate and it's super dismissive of all the effort that went into writing that narrative. Also, not understanding the difference between queerbait and queer coding will hurt queer representation in media in the long run.

I stopped watching 911 after Bobby died so I can't really comment on that situation, except to say that Queer stories can be critiqued for being disappointing, or badly written, or censored, or falling into bad tropes like Bury Your Gays (like spn). But that doesn't automatically make them "queerbaiting." That's a very specific word with a specific meaning, and it gets thrown around inappropriately A LOT.

do not cite the deep magic to me, witch

I love when fics make Shen Yuan use gen-z slang but I also like to think that that man is a millenial and would probably not understand any slang past the year 2014 at first

Summary:

anyafishies said:Can we have Tim being hit by Ivy’s pollen, except reactions are not acute and the onset is slow, and now he is constantly more acutely afraid that people around him will be in danger/disappear (Kon, Bart, Bruce, Dick, Jason… even Damian). So he does all he can to protect them and double check on them more than he did already and eventually his body and mind just give out. Then they figure [it] out. If possible can I ask for a happy ending?

Perfect angst. Everyone is in character, the fear is very very relateable - it's just an incredibly skilled fic and one of my favourite things ever.

Some old traditional art I made 10 years ago when I got obsessed with Monsters University. It also had me rewatching Monsters Inc. as well.

[dariasonlinedairy]

sometimes,

i can't help but wonder.

wonder about the books,

the music genres i didn't founded out about,

what life chances i could've get

if i didn't did the wrong choice several time ago

if i wasn't born this way.

what if,

everything worked out?

and i didn't got this sense of nostalgia,

that makes me feel numb and empty

and instead, i lived in the moment,

painted with colored chalk on the cracked asphalt,

and drank more coffee cups without feeling guilty,

guilty about not living life the way it is supposed to be and instead,

trapped in my bed, rotting like an angel on earth without its wings to get back to the paradise of heaven.

oh.. when it will be my turn?

to kick my feet and laugh,

to cry with tears of joy and feeling real,

stopping myself from getting the feeling of guilt in my throat everytime i feel the slightest sunray of happiness throught my life.

I wish summer will be different, not like this awful winter

i wish i could get a last breathe of relief before i die

and i wish.. before dying

to remember. to think.

about what?

no.. not about the awful memories that are burned throught my thick skull,

instead...

about the books i readed all my life, about the movies i watched when i needed comfort.

about the music that touched my heart and kissed my scars when no one was there, for me.

about the sense of nostalgia i got from being the typical artistic, weird girl everyone assumed me to be.

i wish everything would work out.

to feel a breath of relief, or one or two or more..

to stop feeling guilty.

everytime i am happy.

and to cry with tears of joy and enjoy talent and art in every pure form, feeling it, touching it,

kissing it and breaking it

without feeling any sense of guilt or melancholy

without feeling the painful nostalgia

that has..

that has been hunting me since i didn't even know what was that.

i think everything will work out.

i will cry with joy in my stomach

i will finally feel real without cutting

or making bruises over my pale body,

i will feel happy, with no longer guilt in my heart

i will be happy. and i will remember it..

with no longer that painful melancholy up in my bones,

with..

with no longer of that sad nostalgia in my eyes, or that painful aching feeling of crashing out, but..

letting it go.

in the summer..

summer of the good ol' nostalgia.

submitted by: anonymous

the role she was cast. (3721 words) by ellabell / @ellabellbee Chapters: 2/2 Fandom: Warehouse 13 Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Myka Bering/Helena "H. G." Wells Characters: Myka Bering, Helena "H. G." Wells, Pete Lattimer Summary: Takes place as if written between S4 and S5. Cancer arc. Helena returns to the Warehouse to help, but doesn't quite know how to talk to Myka. Pete entertains a recovering Myka by being silly. (This was supposed to be a one-shot, but I've added a second chapter.)

Please tell us why you like this fic so much!

The psychology, Helena's twisted reasoning in this makes so much sense. It is heart wrenching because it is so realistic. All the characters are! But all the heart ache gets soothed so well and soon, so this one is healing.

Hello, my friend! Yes, I have changed my codename. Got myself a new blog in here. This is/was still ZombieQueen from AO3 before the Author Curse came and struck me. Thankfully, I was smart enough to orphan my fics, despite my heartbreak in knowing that I can't add to them anymore, but the deed needed to be done for the safety of my darling readers. Have you ever needed to orphan any of your works as an act of love and protection for your readers or is that just my own thing?

Hello! Sorry to hear of your woes.

I can't say I've ever given much thought about the option to orphan works, to be honest. I've discontinued quite a few fics in the 10+ years I've been at this - usually stories I've fallen out of love with or whose audience has annoyed me to the point of spite - but I've never orphaned them, and I don't think I ever will. I'm kind of a jealous writer, to be honest with you :p

It's nice to listen to Tim talk.

Submitted by @kiragecko

Bruce and Tim both know too much. But listening to someone isn't ABOUT getting new information. 6 scenes of the pair of them bonding. Wonderful, sweet, a little sad. After I finished rereading this time, I just sat and basked for a solid minute!
