The gorgeous @lokinightfury tagged me for a thing, because she's amazing, so here I am doing the thing!

Rules: Give us the links to your wonderful words with the most hits, most kudos, most comments, most bookmarks, most words, and least words.

Most Hits: Evidently, my magnum opus, The Only One (Enjonine, Les Mis) WHICH I AM STILL WORKING ON, I SWEAR! I actually worked on it quite recently, so if anyone is still interested, I promise I will finish it!

Most Kudos: Surprisingly, Max's Annual Uncanny Hootenanny (Hellcheer, Stranger Things) which is a more recent thing I made. Very proud of it, glad people enjoyed it.

Most Comments: We have a tie between Max's Annual Uncanny Hootenanny and Munson's Not Your Mummy's Creepy Crawly Costume Party (both Hellcheer, Stranger Things).

Most Bookmarks: This is actually a shocker, but it's Sway My Way (Love is like a good pair of underwear) (NeuYako, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro). This was just a random smutfic I wrote for this manga I was into waaaay back in the day.

Most Words: Unsurprisingly, it's The Only One again, sitting at about 64k. The next chapter is already at over 12k, and there's still quite a bit left to write.

Least Words: Not counting a stupid poem I wrote for Enjonine, which I can't really consider fic, the winner is Follow your inner moonlight (Don't hide the madness) (Rei/Jadeite, Sailor Moon), which is part of my Senshi/Shittenou series I wrote a long time ago.

I don't really know who to tag, so feel free to give this a go!

And thanks again for tagging me, Jenny! Love you!

CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

Wait a minute, you have to pay alimony? With what? You’re a teacher, right?

Oh my god…

I just realized something.

Eurus literally MADE Sherlock follow John’s advice!

“Phone her; do something while there’s still a chance because that chance doesn’t last forever.”

Except, unlike John, Eurus is an “era-defining genius”, so she knew the RIGHT woman to call. The one that’s always counted, always been trusted, has always seen him, and always mattered the most.

🤯

I never even thought of that!!!

Lookin at my ships I’ve come to the conclusion that there are several dynamics I tend to fall for:

- outsider and popular kid that under the surface aren’t that different at all (and have a lot of interests in common)

- heroine/hero x villain

- enemies to lovers (or enemies AND lovers)

- bickering couple

- moon x moon

- moon x sun (it can be either their personality or their physical appearance or both. Bonus if the slightly introvert dark haired is full of life and the light haired extrovert deep down thinks they don’t deserve to be loved)

- short passionate (and/or full of rage) woman and the over than 1 ft taller than her person she has to deal/is stuck with

- I hate everything and everyone but the love of my life

- shared trauma

- girlboss power couple

Give me one or more of these tropes and there’s a really high chance that I’ll ship that ship to hell and back

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

idk who needs to hear this but,,,every piece of fandom content you make should be self indulgent. you should be creating because it gives you happiness and nothing less. you aren't a machine meant to only give to other people. the enjoyment should always come before the validation.

want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons
