So just to be clear for the historical record, my liege, we are one hundred percent sure that this apparently unremarkable farm boy is the hero chosen by the gods to beat back the darkness?

ok sorry, but why does a german TV show, mainly watched by older people, have more fanfictions on ao3 than atleast 4 ships from international shows??? Who are also watched by the common ff writers??

don't get me wrong, i'm happy about it, but also confused

another iceland fact

tourists are posting pictures from several different places in the country and tagging them with the name "gjaldskylda". they seem to be under the impression that it's the toponym of the beautiful waterfall/lava field/mountain/etc. they're visiting.

gjaldskylda means "you have to pay to park here" and it's on an unreasonable amount of signs

Schlocktober has managed to gross me out: there's het smut, and that wasn't even a prompt - people have the oddest ideas, really.

Here, too, though, you can practice the ancient technique of "Don't like, don't read": it's great and works so well.

Hi, I noticed your story has conflict in it, and I was wondering why you didn't just write people who are right doing everything correctly with a note saying "I enthusiastically co-sign everything in this story"? Must be some kind of mistake haha

Meme snatching always gets me...

...I don't want to steal uncredited things. But did the person posting this actually MAKE it? I'm really not sure. Hm. But the context they used it for sucked ass so I'll just snatch it. Yippee!

if you don't know how to end a written work you should be able to just let the words fade out like an 80s song and not resolve anything for the reader

while I don’t agree with that referring to men in their 30s-early 40s as “old man yaoi”, I UNDERSTAND why many people who primarily consume honest-to-goodness BL manga are quicker to call it that, because there is just such poor representation for men that aren’t hairless dehydrated 20-something twunks. They’re wrong, but I get why it happens.

I also understand that “middle-aged yaoi” isn’t as fun to say as “old man yaoi”, even when it’s more technically accurate.

So I would like to propose new vocabulary: Grown Ass Yaoi. yaoi that’s grown ass men. they’re not old but they’re not young adults either. you get me? Grown Ass Yaoi
