my favourite scene in all attack on titan is unironically that time Hange bursts into the basement where Levi has been torturing that military police guy they abducted and he's like WHAT DO YOU FREAKS EVEN WANT YOU'RE NOT EVEN ASKING QUESTIONS and Levi's like ah yeah lol my bad so where's Eren

Honestly the "but Peeta wanted kids so bad" line from the Mockingjay epilogue is really funny to me because for three books Katniss has been projecting her desire for children onto a guy who hasn't really ever verbally expressed any interest in having kids, so I do genuinely think the whole "kids vs. no kids" debate happened entirely internally for Katniss and one day she just went "ok, you win, let's have kids" and Peeta's at the kitchen table like"?????? Ok??????"

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"

You don't even need to study for the Rorschach test, btw, it's super easy. All they do is show you a bunch of stupid pictures of your dad getting eaten by a horse

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

Nah but imagine Stack and Mary sitting with Sammie when he's on his deathbed

I don't think Mary would say much. I think she'd let Stack do most of the talking and comforting. Sammie, the one that's dying, is hurting the least. He's seen enough of this world. He's prepared himself. It's okay.

Stack on the other head is dreading losing another person. He won't change Sammie against his will, but damn he wants to. When he looks at his little cousin, he still sees that young boy he took care of. Now he's dying. How is that fair?

Sammie tries to comfort him by saying "don't be sad. Imma play a lot of music where I'm going". Stack manages to laugh. He thinks back to the night at the Juke Joint. He can't help but wonder if becoming a vampire was the best or worst thing that happened to him.

"When you see Smoke" Stack begins, "tell him imma always miss him"

Stack, Mary and Sammie continue talking until Sammie slowly stops talking before he's gone.

And if someone were to visit Sammie's grave late at night, they'd see two figures paying their respects every night without fail.

Something something vampires have no reflection so he can't even try to see his brother's face anymore when he looks into the mirror
