This has to be an AU already right? I’ve never seen it. I’m doing it. My city now

The angst potential alone haunts me. How long do you think he waited for Ford?? When did it start to sink in that nobody was coming to save him, that nobody would miss him? Would anybody even want him back? How long did it take for his anger, his heartbreak, his grief to turn into acceptance and a belief that this was divine retribution? How long did he work, how many jobs did he take, how much wealth did he accrue, how many brushes with death did he have until he believed he’d “earned” the right to go home and see his brother?? Many such questions. I need to go deeper

FanFiction.net is not gone.

Right now it's a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.

Correction:

The new "fake" site that people are seeing still belongs to FanFiction.net—they just misconfigured their servers and are not redirecting traffic from the bare fanfiction.net to the main site at www.fanfiction.net. There is likely no malicious agent. Didn't mean to scare anyone! Just wanted to let people know the site wasn't deleted!

So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out "www.fanfiction.net".

Please share so people stop panicking.

Ratatouille would have been a better and potentially much more interesting story if Remy had partnered with Collette instead of Linguini. Two underdogs with talent and passion forced to maintain a dangerous ruse. Fiercely independent Collette giving up temporary control of her body to a creature who, despite the insanity of a rat wanting to cook professionally, she can relate to on a personal level and who she does want to teach. The inner conflict of wondering if Remy’s growing talents are eclipsing her own, if the praise their food is earning belongs more to him than to her. Her guilt over feeling resentment and jealousy towards this little guy who wouldn’t have a hope of realizing his talents if not for her trust and protection. Both of them unraveling the mystery of that sweet but bumbling kitchen boy with the obvious crush on Collette being Gusteau’s secret son, and working together to thwart the new evil owner’s plans to stop Linguini from claiming his birthright. The message of the movie not being this weird, almost smug “some people are born with talent, some people aren’t, and that’s how being a ~great artist~ works”, but something more like, “if you have a dream, you deserve to pursue it, and be supported and encouraged in your pursuit of it, even if other people tell you that, because of some intrinsic aspect of yourself or the circumstances you were born in (like being a human woman in the restaurant industry, or being a literal rat), you have no place pursuing this dream. Also, raw talent can only get you so far, and skill and passion existing in the right balance is key.” I’ve been thinking about this for seventeen years. I’m breaking my silence

Hollywood in the Courtroom: The Riveting 'Rust' Case Nears Its Climactic Verdict

'Rust' Trial Drama Reaches Crescendo with Intense Closing Arguments

In a storyline as gripping as the scripts from Hollywood's finest, the tragic tale of the 'Rust' movie set shooting took center stage as attorneys presented their final arguments, each side bitterly contesting the narrative that will determine the outcome for actor Alec Baldwin and the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. The stakes are high, and the courtroom atmosphere is thick with the promise of a verdict that will cement this story in legal and cinematic history. The day's proceedings echoed with the gravity of the tragic incident that befell cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who lost her life, and director Joel Souza, who was injured when a prop firearm, handled by Baldwin, discharged a live round during rehearsal. As the gavel sets to fall marking the end of the trial, everyone—from the families involved to the public and the film industry—waits with bated breath. The Prosecution's Final Act As expected in such a high-profile case, the prosecution made a compelling closing performance aimed at convincing the jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Armed with evidence and poignant statements, they built a narrative of blatant neglect for safety protocols. Eyes locked on delivering justice for Hutchins, they charged that Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed missed multiple warning signs and failed in their duty to ensure the set was free of lethal risks—a step they claim could have averted this nightmare. Defense Counters with a Passionate Rebuttal In the corner of the accused, the defense teams for both Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed mounted a vigorous response. Their argument hinged on age-old wisdom: accidents, however horrific, do happen, even with precautions in place. They contended that their clients could not have anticipated the lurking danger in what was supposed to be a controlled environment, stressing the absence of intent to harm. They aimed to paint a picture of two people caught in a maelstrom of freak circumstances, rather than orchestrators of recklessness. The Role of the Jury The pivotal role in this act now falls upon the shoulders of the jurors—a diverse cast of citizens from different walks of life, now entrusted with the hefty task of sifting through the drama to uncover the truth. Their verdict will hinge on whether the narrative woven by the prosecution has been sufficiently countered by the defense, or if doubts loom heavy enough to sway the scales in favor of the accused. Bracing for the Final Curtain Call With the closing arguments etched into the courtroom's memory, all participants brace for the final curtain call of this saga. Whatever the outcome, the reverberations of this case will be felt deeply, certainly influencing the future of on-set safety protocols and reshaping the conversation around responsibility in the film industry. The ending is unwritten, and the final fade-out is yet to come, leaving those beyond the courtroom pondering the broader implications of justice and accountability in a field where art and life converge with sometimes catastrophic consequences.
