Thanks to your donations from the previous drive, Mona and her brothers managed to buy many sacks of flour to distribute to people in the refugee camps in Rafah. I'm genuinely amazed at how much you lovely people are doing.

Please remember to donate! Every dollar helps! P*ypal.

G*f*ndme to evacuate Mona & her family.

We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing

say more pls

Yeah sure why not.

So most stories take place when Events are Happening, and this means that no matter what kind of job the characters have, they’re probably not too focused on them. Fanfics, on the other hand, often show the down time. Which means that the writer has to figure out what the hell these characters do in their jobs. Unless the characters have a job the author understands or knows well, the author is often at a loss for what to have the character doing.

So they sit them at a desk and give them paperwork. What is the paperwork for? Rarely specified. It is Paper Work for the characters Important Adult Job they have and they need to read or sign it or something. And there’s always a line about how Character Hates Paperwork. Doesn’t matter if Character is a Mafia Boss or a General or a Diplomat, here they are in an office trying to get out of Doing Paperwork.

There’s also a sense of, like, humor and mundanity that comes with it. Like the examples above, it always particularly stands out to me when a dangerous individual is griping about some paper they need to sign or something. The less you can picture Character doing paperwork, all the better to force it upon them. If Character is saddled with Paperwork, they’re usually now concerned about the physical damages their motley crew causes, because damage = More Paperwork.

Anyway I just think it’s fun or funny, Sephiroth doing paper work and Sawada Tsunayoshi doing paper work and this just in, Tony Stark is doing paperwork. Sorry, Phoenix Wright can’t play right now. Yeah, it’s paperwork.

A very non-exhaustive list of actual paperwork they could be completing/reviewing/approving, in no particular order:

Please share and donate if you can!

Mohammed is an engineer and founded the Gazan 3D printing company, Tashkeel3D. His contributions to the medical sector in Gaza have saved so many lives in light of Israel not allowing medical parts and equipment to enter Gaza during the years of blockade.

And right now he is under fire in the north of Gaza while his family is in the south. He needs help saving his life and the lives of his family as he is raising funds to get his family across the Rafah border.

This fund is nowhere near its goal. Please share this

Does anyone else remember the livejournal community ship_manifesto? People signed up to submit essentially essays explaining why this particular fandom ship was good and what the appeal was. I loved reading them, it was fascinating. As I recall there were two main categories: 1) extensive polemics featuring quotes, gifs, dialogue, thematic interpretations, color schemes, leitmotifs, and 2) person holding up picture of two characters going “these two have never met in canon. But if they did? I think it’d be really neat.”
