it's a good thing you're just now looking at calamity. because if you thought IMOGEN had it bad, you probably would have gotten a brain tumor seeing all the godawful laerryn takes when it first dropped.

YEAH i got a hint of it in the yt comments I can imagine... especially bc Laerryn rlly is the selfish, blunt, deeply morally ambiguous character ppl claim Imogen is 😭 On top of the compounding force of misogynoir. i'd have an aneurysm

violet sent me a video saying he would've texted me to update me on his situation, but he wanted me to be able to see him since it's been a while and he won't be in town for my birthday. you're too kind, my love. he proceeds to tell me that he's got me a barnes and noble gift card for my birthday because i'm a nerd, and he knows i love books.

i replied saying that it was crazy that he would call me a nerd so close to my birthday, but i appreciate him greatly.

and his response before going to do some classwork is that yes, i'm a nerd. his bookworm, specifically.

i'm just. i'm so stuck on that. i'm HIS bookworm. all his.

To me the most fun part about fix-its is placing dominoes.

Tragedies often consist of escalating series of actions and circumstances which, in isolation, were not clearly leading to the tragic end but form a chain of cause-and-effect directly towards it in hindsight. In equal but opposite fashion, I love starting with small inoccuous changes to canon that in themselves do not obviously fix everything but start a new chain that leads to a better ending.

It's kind of impossible for fix-its to feel fully natural– the reader by definition knows what the original ending was and that this ending will be happier because the writer wants it to be– but it is possible for them to not feel contrived. A big deus-ex-machina, or a character breaking with their pre-established tragic flaws to suddenly make all the "correct" decisions almost always feels unsatisfying to me.

But a few carefully placed small domino pieces slowly knocking over bigger and bigger tiles until the entire story has radically changed? That's a lot more fun.

It recquires the author to both correctly identify the original chain of cause-and-effect and understand the characters well enough to know how they'd react to different circumstances. Because if the story feels like it's fixing the wrong problem or the characters don't act like themselves the magic is lost. But when it works? When it clicks and the reader sees the domino chain laid out in front of them? It's beautiful.

grabbing all trans men by the fucking shoulders oh my god. you are allowed to be angry. you SHOULD be angry. you should not have to clarify your words to death, going "i know i dont have it as bad, but-", or put yourself down, "haha yeah, men suck dont we?", you are trans, and you are worthy, and you belong in this fucking community and you deserve to have your voice heard.

trans men get fucking angrier

eddie diaz is actually such a fun character. he's had three girlfriends in his whole entire life but still carries unimaginable drip. he was a teen dad but instead of seeing his son as a burden or regret he flourished under fatherhood. he's serious but also very very silly. his government name is edMUNDO. he doesn't believe in curses but has been plagued by saw traps for basically his entire adult life. he loves his bestfriend enough to give him his son. he wear chanclas around his house. he's the princess of LA. he's maybe even gay. imagine being racist enough to dislike this guy.

his swagless looks and cringe fail personality have captivated me

donna noble is so so important because she chose the stars, she chose the adventure and the horror and the running, and she wanted it forever. and when she got left behind she built something so brilliant the doctor came back to spend forever with her anyway. and now she has her best friend and her family and all the stars, always.

IT'S THE WAY THEIR INTERNAL WORLDS BLEED TOGETHER. the way blitz still looks up at him, still in front of him and bathed in light, but the way they're on equal ground this time; there's no pedestal. the golden chains forcing blitz away from stolas vs them dragging blitz to him in truth seekers. stolas on his knees looking up at blitz (the moon) vs blitz on his knees watching stolas. the way that stolas has the freedom to fly after the moon vs blitz being chained down and unable to reach for him. the golden feathers. insane

We all know the semi-canonical ‘all the Robins know to hide/duck inside of Batman’s cape, even as adults’ thing.

We also know that Danny ‘is LITERALLY a ghost’ Fenton sucks at remembering his own intangibility while ALSO forgetting to look ahead of him.

All I’m saying is, Danny Fenton (or Phantom, if you’d really like) would absolutely SLAM into Batman on accident while running on roof tops and Bruce ‘Brooding Instinct’ Wayne doesn’t even think twice about letting the kid hide and scanning around for danger before there’s a record scratch of ‘wait who tf is this?’ kicks in.
