I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

Love In The Air is so fantastically unhinged. The lighting would put a renaissance artist to shame but the sound was recorded on a tin can. One of the main characters kind of works for the mafia but the central conflict is whether the other one has time to do his uni coursework. It's about illegal street racers who are also architects by day? And they chose to spend more time on the architecture part? Fuckin exquisite. I am obsessed.

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

We're fanfic writers, we spend hours researching an incredibly niche topic we know nothing about so that we can have one sentence be factually correct

Every time I hear the song Cigarettes & Saints by The Wonder Years I picture Steve singing about Eddie. Why do I hurt myself like this?

This song just gives me such them vibes.

“We’re no saviours if we can’t save our brothers”.

Ouch man. These lyrics just fit Steddie far too well.

Hi. To all those Steddie fanfic writers and readers out there, can you help me?

I read a really good Steddie fic where Eddie was another lab child with super powers like El and now I can’t find it again. Endgame Steddie, Eddie could blow things up (if I recall correctly). On AO3.

So if people could please comment any Fics with Eddie being a superpower feral lab rat child, that would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks.

Tall Sirius??

Don’t get me wrong, I love how the fandom has decided that (due to the movies) that Sirius is smaller than Remus.

But in the books it is stated that Sirius was the tallest marauder. So just picture this…

Tall Sirius not being scared of Remus. He’s like “werewolf? I can’t see one”, as he peers over Remus’ head.

Tall sirius picking Remus up after moons and carrying him back to the dorm.

Just tall Sirius guys. It would be great to see more content of him being tall and smug as shit about it.

i am not someone who has ever said, written, or thought this phrase before but i had to sit on my hands every second of saltburn to keep myself from posting “this is SO MAJOR.” it’s so major. so so so so so fucking major. made in a lab for sickos of my exact variety. you will gasp. you will squirm. you will cover your mouth in shock. you will go holy fuck. people walked out. the girls next to me screamed YES! and i said yes with them. so major. so major. and as a bonus it’s one of those movies that pretends to be for intellectuals even though the storytelling is absolutely for simple people so you feel smart just for watching a very straightforward film. not even a film. a flick. what more can i say. finally a film about toxic obsessive girl friendships except they’re boys with names that only cats should have (oliver and felix)

I think the best part of KinnPorsche, and it really comes to mind with this latest episode, is that every character thinks they’re in a different genre and it’s the funniest thing watching it clash with the reality.

Kinn is just living his best rom-com life where he falls for his sassy but kind assistant bodyguard that he can no longer live with out.

Porsche is basically a YA novel where he falls for his sexy morally ambiguous love interest who’s secretly sweet but *gasp* his past has come to haunt him!

Pete thinks he’s in a dark psychological thriller where he must battle his inner demons and brooding but hot captor to maintain his humanity but it threatens to over take him at any moment as he is torn between his newly found dark desires and the reputation he prides himself on.

Vegas acts like he’s in gothic bodice ripper novel where his entire world becomes the kind, empathic heroine Pete and he will do anything to keep him to himself and Pete is going to help him overcome the truama of his past with his love.

Kim sees himself in this brooding noir style detective film where he must uncover the dark past of his family but oh no he finds himself falling for the pure and sweet ingénue Chay and must wrestle with the dangerous life he leads and the mission he’s devoted himself to and the love of his life

Porchay thought he’s living his Wattpad dream life where he meets his idol and gains his respect as he tutors him and they slowly develop a sweet friendship that turns into a heartfelt romance

They really demonstrate how all the characters are protagonists of their own story, and that’s how they make their decisions, based on the assumptions on the world around them. They think they know the story their in, and that’s the role they have taken, but the tragedy and the complications of these relationships is that they aren’t in a single genre story. They’re people, achingly human people, interacting with other complex people and what is salvation for one is a damnation for the other.

They aren’t in any specific genre (you know, beyond on the whole mafia thing) and that’s where the miscommunication happens, that’s how the drama unfolds, that’s how all these different romances keep missing each other, because they’re all operating on different wavelengths based on the story they think *THEY’RE* in and not stopping to really consider the other perspective.

It’s absolutely hilarious, it’s terribly tragic, it’s utterly beautiful and performed so well by the writers and the actors.
