the most frustrating stage of fic writing is when you have an idea but the idea is 95% vibes rather than actual plot

How did you read the post-destruction fic I’ve been working on before I even put the words from my brain on the page

I think my favorite thing about how Ed and Stede meet each other is how it's almost an instant sort of recognition. Something about the way they fit together so, so easily, right from the first. It's a sort of recognition of a kindred spirit, in finding someone who you can instantly talk and sympathize and get excited with.
It's like you can feel them thinking that their lives have just fundamentally changed. A sort of oh, it's you, hi, I didn't know I missed you. From the beginning it's impossible to imagine their lives without the other in it anymore. There's something so sweet and almost tentative with their interactions after Stede wakes up in s1e4, but there's such a comfort there already. They're soulmates your honor.

I am completely obsessed with the cinematic, criminally underrated fic (we are) the fault line by @iguessyouregonnamissthepantyraid, in which these six go on a roadtrip and destroy the government for being mean to Danny.

the thing about kon's relationships is that, despite how much posturing he does about being a flirt and a ladies' man, he has only ever had three (3) relationships, two of which were with adult women who groomed and preyed on him, and the third was with a closeted lesbian who mistook her gender envy as attraction to him.
(to cassie, kon is literally the boy from the posters on her bedroom wall. she sets up that crush before she ever meets him, and by the time the two of them get together, he's already got the idea that relationships = a woman gives him a box to fit into and he does his very best to stay in it so he can prove he's good enough for her. this isn't cassie's fault by any means, but like, it's no wonder they break up and both immediately seem relieved about it, yknow?)
even when other people flirt with him, like when serling tries to ask him out, he turns her down because he's not in a space where he feels like he can be in a relationship. he's not actually the horndog and total flirt he pretends he is. i would posit that he just learned "this is how teenage boys are supposed to act" from all the media and pop culture downloaded into his head. that was the only standard or cultural context he had. it's how he tried to socialize in hawaii when he went to high school, too. he didn't know how to act beyond being a tv personality.
anyways, what i'm getting at is that i will never be convinced this guy has ever actually experienced attraction to a woman. it's posturing and comp het all the way down, babey. kon-el is a demisexual gay man, and in this essay i will

Where does one go to express such controversial opinions as 'I like it when wei wuxian is aware of and comfortable with his bisexuality and maybe already has some sexual experience by the time he gets to cloud recesses' and 'I think it's neat when lan wangji gets laid after wei wuxian's death especially if it's a melancholy, possibly regretful, but not necessarily unpleasant experience'
