no way home felt like watching a 250k+ word fanfiction play out in real life
Me after No Way Home:
i want a soft connection. i want to be asked how my day went and if i need anything. i want forehead kisses. i want the back of my hand kissed at red lights. i want to be asked how i’m mentally feeling. i want to hold hands everywhere we go. i want romantic gestures. i want my hair played in at the most unexpected moments. i want silent eye connections that lead to smiles. i want to take random walks.
Whenever I see people afraid of crossing the 25 year mark in their lives I want to tell them to cancel their subscription to societal expectations and start befriending actual old(er) people. Then you’ll realize how fortunate you are to be growing w time, how much life is surrounding you, waiting for you to do whatever you want w it
I would like to wish everyone an uneventful new year
once i started spending my own money i realized my mom was right….we do have food at home

I respectfully disagree. If it’s not dumb, like people not reading tags and then going eww this trope or eww this ship, and it’s written respectfully without insulting the writer then I think criticism should always be allowed. I think it’s important to hone a skill to be told where or how you could do better, corrections and suggestions help people to improve. I do not want the people around me to be all little yes men that say only nice things. That’s my humble opinion.
Cool. Then say on your fics that you welcome criticism. But if a person doesn’t say that, then you don’t leave con crit.
Do you know what I do for a living? I’m a college professor and an academic editor. I actually am professionally qualified to help people hone their skills and to improve. For example, there are at least 4 things I would edit in the ask you sent me. Not the least of which is having the guts to own your opinion by not being on anon.
But you know what I do with all the professional skills I have when I read fanfic which is a hobby and a joy for everyone who engages in it? I keep my fucking mouth shut.
Because as I tell my students to be creative and share it with the world is an act of bravery. And when we are being brave, we don’t need to be ‘corrected’ by strangers, we need to be applauded for risking ourselves.
I have never felt better about someone correcting me on a fic on ao3, I’ve never improved from it, I’ve only felt like crap, and any other writer I talk to feels the same. I got better as a writer because I wrote again and again every day. And when I engage a beta, I listen to their advice because I can trust where it is coming from. A rando whose decided they know what they are on about? I don’t trust for shit.
If you leave UNSOLICITED criticism on fanfic you suck and are a crappy person.
In my humble opinion.
👏👏👏
Donno about you but I’m gonna make a corpse of the first trillionaire
honestly, mood
spiderman is so fucking funny dude saves like an entire country and then he goes home at the end of the day and opens his fridge and hes got like 1 egg and a half empty can of arizona tea no matter how old he is or what comic hes from thats just how peter parker lives
apparently robert pattinson’s trainors have been practically begging him to work out during quarantine and he has decided not to
the moment in bohemian rhapsody where freddie sings “i don’t wanna die, sometimes i wish i’d never been born at all” really hits differently when you’re mentally ill
same with ‘this year’ by the mountain goats when john says “i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me”
