Proposal for new fandom etiquette:

If you read a fic because it was linked/recced somewhere, you leave a comment saying "came from XXX" and that comment doesn't need to include anything else.

Because when all of a sudden there's a lot of activity on one particular fic I WANNA KNOW WHY!!!!!

no one talks about how much of writing is just whispering “does this make sense” to the void

went through the scariest moment of my life by distracting myself with writing fanfic and telling myself you are a writer, so fucking write and that actually got me through it without breaking down (also turned out things got better and everything was okay).

thank you fanfic writing, thank you fandoms, thank you archive of our own

I know technically in canon it could be written off as Bella and Edward just not noticing, but I feel like Rosalie should have been way more conflicted about asking Carlisle to change Emmett

Miss “I wish someone had been there to vote no for me” who was changed to stop her from dying should have felt some type of way for not giving Emmett what she herself wanted. And it could have been great characterization!

On the one hand she’s mad at Carlisle for what he did but at the same time when put in the same position she knows she did the exact same thing. And she’d be so upset with herself that she allowed emotion to get to her in that moment when she prides herself on being rational.

Maybe she even pushes to keep Bella human to in a way repay the debt of making Emmett a vampire. It’s just crazy that it’s part of the plot that she saved Emmett and asked Carlisle to change him while also saying she wished she had died rather than be turned into a vampire and the two just never meaningfully connect in canon? Edward should have looked at Rosalie and Emmett and seen himself and Bella, seen Emmett blissfully fine with everything while Rosalie is never able to fully let go of the guilt both that she turned him but also that part of her thinks she should have let the man she loves die

I feel like it’s just sort of hand waved with “eh Emmett likes being a vampire so it all worked out” but I say Rosalie should have had some deep and lasting conflict over this. Should have told Edward that she understands the impulse to change someone you have feelings for but that you will then spend eternity knowing that every life they take and every moment of hurt they have is because you did this to them

And yeah there may have been a line or two in the books about it but I mean it should have been as much of the conversation as her own turning

this is mostly pronounced amongst teens and young adults but it’s so funny to me when I see discourse that’s like “what does a 26 year old and a 32 year old have in common????” acting like somehow 6 years is a massive generational gap… girl not only is that the same generation but it’s also literally nothing once you’re both fully grown adults

it pisses me off SO bad how transphobes have so effectively used sports to launder transphobia and misogyny to people. like does nobody remember like ~5-10 years ago when it was a MAJOR feminist talking point to argue for desegregating sports and going by skill level instead of gender separation??? and now, because so many cis people hate trans people so violently and think we should be excluded from all aspects of public life, you’ve got a whole bunch of women who call themselves feminists laundering misogynistic talking points about how “women are just inherently weaker and worse at athletics than men :(( it’s just biology and women are inherently inferior :(( this is definitely not misogyny that’s unsupported by science, women are just weaker and worse at things :((“ like girl open your ears and listen to what you’re saying!!
