I want to read a story where one character says, "ok, weird way to propose, but yes," while the other one most definitely did not intend to propose.

You all need to hear this:

1. You probably dont suck at your craft as much as you think you do, I bet a lot of people are amazed at what you can make, and

2. If you actually are the Literal Worst In The Whole Wide World at your craft... who the fuck cares? What are they gonna do, call the police on you? Keep making your shitty little things, youre the boss of you, fuck the haters.

Okay hear me out:

AU where the Buckies are married and have kids (maybe mpreg) and in their first life Gale dies first but it so utterly destroys Bucky where he ends up drinking himself to death or something of the sort in response and it just utterly destroys the entire family beyond repair that the universe starts their story over so that Bucky dies first because it knows that that’s the only way it could ever work, Gale could live without Bucky and continue to take care of their family but Bucky could never ever live without Gale, not in any universe 💔💔💔

Like the first time around, Gale died and while John lives for maybe a year or so longer, he for all intents and purposes dies the minute Gale does too. He loses all his will to live and his children beg him “Please Dad, you have to keep on living, for us” and John is just like “I can’t” 💔💔💔 Or godforbid his kids try setting him up on a date…

If I was in a fanfiction and started coughing up flowers while working at a flower shop (because this is a flower shop au) I would NOT connect my crush on the tattoo artist next door to the flower cough situation. I would freak the fuck out and think the pollen at work was doing some Last of Us shit to me, quit my job and move FAR away. inadvertently my flame for the tattoo artist would fade with distance, solving my hanahaki situation and proving my 'the flowers were trying to turn me into a plant zombie' theory

Use "said" for dialogue unless you are writing a man talking, in which case use "whimpered"

I saw something very sweet on the ao3 subreddit: someone introduced their 70 y/o dad to ao3. Their dad is a fandom oldie and is ecstatic that he now has a place where he can share all of his Star Trek and Superman fics that he wrote ages ago. Apparently he wrote those fics by hand and now has to transcribe them into docs. I just really hope he’ll have a lovely ao3 experience <3

i think we should swap yaoi and yuri tropes more. a pair of doomed teenage boys taking a break from their afterschool music club to go on a cute planetarium date, shyly brushing fingers while internal dialogue goes on and on about the purity of their relationship. on other side of town a lesbian is getting railed by a mafia boss.

luxuriating in my own pillow nest (great life choice, highly recommended) and thinking (as always) of omega buck in the stalag, with one measly blanket and a joke of a mattress. of course bucky tries to make it better, offers his own stuff, trades and begs and deals with the other men, with the red cross, for extras of anything, blankets, pillows, jackets (washed in the snow and tucked in with john's things till they mostly smell like him). But buck refuses to take any of it, doesn't want to be treated differently, doesn't want to be coddled. insists that everything extra john brings back to the bunk room goes where it's most needed (benny needs a new coat, there's a hole in the wall by crank's bunk, you know macon needs that pillow more than i do, etc). he can't stand the thought of not taking care of his boys, even though he knows this is driving bucky crazy

and listen it's not that bucky doesn't want to take care of the boys (he does! he does, it's just that little alpha voice in the back of his head gets louder and louder everyday about how much of a failure he is to buck specifically), it's that those we're buck's presents, yeah? so he changes strategy.

first thought is to get the boys to offer their new things back to buck, but that thought rankles before it gets out the gate (the thought of buck taking their stuff but not taking bucky's, like he's really good for nothing, huh?). second thought, most brilliant thought bucky's ever had, he'll just move into buck's bunk. sure, there's nowhere near enough space for two guys their size, but the cuddling will mean buck will be warm, and he'll at least have whatever bucky decides to leave behind during the day to clutter things up.

he pulls some strings to get one extra person too many transferred to their bunk house and when the snag hits he immediately offers his own bunk up. then he makes it buck's problem ("c'mon buck, you gonna make me sleep out in the cold?" "dunno, john, might do you some good"). luckily for his fingertips buck's always had a soft spot for him. he scoots over, with the announcement that he'll fix this in the morning.

but then morning comes, and with it the best sleep either of them have gotten since coming over from greenland. bucky leaves behind whatever he can get away with, thankful it's not full winter yet, and feels something settle at the sight of his jacket wrapped around buck's pillow, at the smell of the two of them, intertwined
