remember when writers had to be all like: “omg omg lemon starts HERE” y’all are lucky that ao3 has tags and filters you can set

Sometimes shit was marked “lemon” and it’d just be them making out, and sometimes they’d just start pissing on each other

No rules, no laws, you took your life into your hands opening fics

hc that some countries have legal immunity and some don't, for various, surprisingly practical reasons. Alfred doesn't have legal immunity because it would violate the entire point of the US. so sometimes he actually goes to prison or gets executed by the state. in practice this is extremely rare, especially in modern times, and generally at worst he just serves a prison term before being pardoned because like... he's the United States. he's too fucking useful to have sitting in prison. BUT the US government wanted to show that they're willing to do it on principle so they've done it a few times. ftr all his death sentences have been pre-20th century and usually involved some wild west outlawry shenanigans.

Arthur, meanwhile, has to have legal immunity because I'm pretty sure the UK doesn't have statutes of limitations and technically since Late Antiquity the man has committed regicide a lot more than you'd think (not necessarily HIS monarchs), along with several high-profile murders and likely countless low-profile assassinations. and war crimes/acts of war. and piracy. and general hooliganism. he'd be in prison forever for crimes committed centuries ago. same goes for Herakles, Mathias, Berwald, Sadik.... basically any nation past a certain age is going to have a very long rap sheet.

And then there's Romulus, the Murders Georg of Europe, who is an outlier and should not be counted.

I love tumblr because you’ll see a beautiful poetic text post cross your dash saying something like “when two characters loathe each other but only because they perceive the self in the other, a jagged reflection whose gaze they cannot meet. They circle one another eternally like spiral galaxies, and neither will ever be able to admit that they understand the other better than anyone else they’ve ever known🌌”

And then you read the tags your mutual put on it and they’re “#SO true #this is Glomgold and Scrooge McDuck fr🥺” and you have to go about your day and deal with that

The thing is . Your mutual is probably right

HAVING FUN and ENJOYING the process of writing is so important. Whether you strive to work professionally or write just for the hell of it, remember why you started in the first place. It all comes down to love honestly

A bad day of writing does not make you a bad writer. Nor does an odd piece of dialogue, or an illogical plot line.

Cut yourself some slack. Writing gets tedious sometimes.
