I have put the words "forces" and "compels" in quotes because while they convey the sentiment our classical intuition longs for, their precise meaning in this context is critical to whether or not we are in for even more of an upheaval.

When a fic doesn’t fit my head canons but it’s well-written

#I don’t think xy OR z happened but damn if this isn’t compelling#‘he would never do that. next chapter’#also it’s good to look beyond our own perceived ideas of the narrative and be fascinated by others takes#I’m only reading fanfics from one fandom so#gravity falls#fiddauthor#fan fiction#ao3#old man yaoi#the office#dwight schrute#screencaps

unpopular opinion but i think a ship that's not canon but both halves are canonically insane about each other is infinitely better than a ship that's canon and boring
#like on 911 buck and eddie have never kissed and maybe never will but buck watched eddie get shot and eddie bled all over him#and then eddie listed buck as chris's guardian in his will in case anything ever happened to eddie. insane! compelling!#meanwhile on 911 lone star tarlos is canon and they are not insane about each other and that's why the ship is boring as fuck#on night court dan and harry never kissed but harry planned dan's funeral when dan was presumed dead bc dan made harry his next of kin#and that's way more interesting than any harry/christine kiss we got#i'm not saying you can't want your ship to fuck i just don't see why some people are like 'xyz ship HAS to fuck or what's the POINT'#the point is they're insane about each other. are you not entertained#personal

ok so i think that my favourite fantasy subgenre is The Inherent Tragedy Of Being Born Into Royalty. which mostly means that i like to read about gay princes but with some nuance
#ethically i am opposed to monarchies and empires. i think being born into a royal bloodline is inherently traumatising#which makes for the juiciest tastiest drama in stories obviously#either you become a bad ruler and people will suffer at your feet. or you become a good ruler and you no longer belong to yourself#how much will you sacrifice at the altar of your ideals?#It Compels Me. Narratively#also books like the goblin emperor have a big autism appeal in like. the court had a lot of nonsensical rules and you have to mask so much#apparently i am such a parody of myself that whenever im like. i have a drawing of my current blorbo#my friend immediately assumes it's a prince based on their vibes#IT'S NOT ALWAYS A PRINCE... SOMETIMES IT'S THE EMPEROR'S SECRETARY.... OR A DEMON WHO'S A KNIGHT.............. I CAN BE DIVERSE#anyway im currently reading the hands of the emperor AND a prince4prince web novel. that's the vibes rn

If you think you can't make time to invest into your life at once now, you will be compelled to make time to count your regrets one by one later. By all means, you'll make time... So, make it now!

#knitting#knitblr#wip#pattern is The Tiger on ravelry🐯#alright alright. i’ve knit whales. lions. fish. frogs. and now tigers! it’s a whole menagerie in here.#anyways. this one had to be knit because when i was knitting the aforementioned lion. i was also compelled by tiger art so i made myself#a promise to follow up on one day and here that day is.#nael age 6 it’s been a pleasure knitting your prose🫡

In realms of magic and wonder, where fantastical creatures roam, A noble hero's heart, bound by duty, made a sacrifice for the greater good, a tomb. As the creatures wept, their sorrow filled the air, the hero's spirit soared through the realm, a prayer.
