Non stop puns and likes children for the OC headcanons thing
Non stop puns is Ari!! And Mars really likes kids! She’s a lot more patient with them than with adults, especially about gender stuff.

tagging @danafaithwriting and uhh other people idk I'm tired
@danafaithwriting tagged me and uhh I’ve been having a time but here:
Jane raised her eyebrows. Which was fair. Not every day a soaked girl in a ballgown shows up at your door. “You want something?”
when i die im gonna write poems with oscar wilde and sappho in hell and thats a privilege the straights will never have
Y’all r wildin OUT
BUT IS NOBODY GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE REST??!?1?!
AND FINALLY THE GAY ICON EVERYONE NEEDED
K I N G F U C K I N G J U L I A N
Freakin’ AMAZING!!!
Bitch. I’m deceased I’m in my casket because this shit is bomb
Bitch I’m shaped like Gloria the hippo and y'all can’t take me or her okaaaay.
at first I was skeptical
BUT THEN I WAS ENLIGHTENED
reverse furry-ism is DEADASS the mood we need to turn 2018 around ladies and gays
(especially small ones)
To get you started, here are some of my personal faves (incomplete, in alphabetical order):
The Adventures of Serena Berg (lesbian trans girl kicks ass & is a big dumbass in love with her best friend, based on Cyrano de Bergerac), Black Girl in a Big Dress (original series, title says it all), Call Me Katie (angry feminist Katie dates a loveable (?) douche so her sister can go on dates as well, retelling of Taming of the Shrew a la Ten Things I Hate About You), The Emma Agenda (Emma Woodhouse is hopeless, everyone is queer, this is the Jane Austen retelling we deserve - based on Emma), Nothing Much To Do (witty New Zealand kids are an absolute mess, except for my girl Hero who has done nothing wrong in her life ever, a webseries classic based on Much Ado About Nothing), Project Green Gables (three seasons of shenanigans, cuteness overload and some of the best characters you will ever meet aka. Anne Shirley is Black Girl Magic Impersonated, retelling of the Anne of Green Gables series), The Roedell Project (original webseries that has it all: beautiful queer kids, bad puns and finger guns, awesome transmedia storytelling and creepy conspiracies), Twelfth Grade (Or Whatever) (the most adorable nerds you will ever meet, the highest count of people saying the word “bisexual” in any series ever, it’s like someone (Jules) took She’s The Man and made it better - retelling of Twelfth Night), The Uncanny Upshurs (teenage witches who deserve a break. includes: Me crying over all my perfect, beautiful kids, lots of witty banter, everyone is queer, big-ass drama and mystery on both sides of the atlantic. original series)
Man I have never known straight dude writers to shy away from putting out stuff like ‘my thinly-veiled self-insert goes on a mediocre adventure but more importantly ends up in a love quadrangle with these four female characters who are all incredibly hot to me’, but most of the lady writers I know get nervous if they write one (1) love story where *gasp* two whole dudes compete for the same lady’s love!
So listen.
Listen.
Go out and give your warrior witch lady a magic talking panther that flies and five hot elf boyfriends (or girlfriends, or datemates, whatever) who all happily share her. Or fight over her. Whichever. Make each of them as smoking hot as you please. Indulge yourself. Live.
And this goes absolutely double for WoC and trans ladies and queer ladies and everyone else who has extra troubles with being shamed for your indulgence.
If you’re going to worry about stuff in your story it should be things like ‘is that trope racist?’ or ‘how do I fix this plot hole?’, not ‘am I putting in too many elements that I personally enjoy?’
tbh i could care less about shitty plot lines. i come for the characters and i stay for the characters. you could give me the shittiest plot in the whole world but if the characters are real and i connect with them then i’ll defend the whole shitty shebang until my dying breath watch me
isnt that like a story telling rule “bad characters cant carry a good story but good characters can carry a bad story”
Truth.
shout out to people on tumblr with no squads or group chats with weird names or people who just don’t get messages. the internet is a strange place i hope you can all still enjoy yourselves & if not u are not alone!
and you know what, shout out to people who don’t have any good friends irl either. i know it seems lonely right now but it won’t be forever there is a friend out there for you! i believe in you!
U have no idea of how much I needed this.
STATUS: Currently editing first draft. Plans to begin querying in late July//early August. Seeking beta readers! INFO WORD COUNT: 40k GENRE: YA contemporary fantasy AGE RANGE: 13+ for violence, profanity, death.
SYNOPSIS: Ariel Kim is your everyday, run-of-the-mill small town teenager, from her dead end job to her love for 80s action flicks. But when a mysterious, sword-wielding boy with ice magic tries to drag her away and she accidentally murders her best friend by spontaneously combusting, her boring life starts to get a whole lot weirder.
Before long, Ari and her newfound fire magic are sent on an EPIC JOURNEY—to Arizona. Accompanied by a cynical sorcerer and a run-down Winnebago, Ari is determined to find a way to raise the dead and erase her mistake, once and for all. No matter what the cost.
CHARACTERS:
ARIEL KIM: 16 | korean-american | fire elemental | esfp | leo
After a tense moment of silence, I spoke up. “Sorry, but could we get back to summoning the dead?”
Ari is our hero! Kind of. Okay, so she technically started this whole mess by accidentally killing Finn Olsen, her best friend, but she’s going to get him back! Ari is short and stocky, with cropped black hair and expressive eyes. She always seems to be getting herself into scrapes, but she’s a free-spirited and loyal person with a warm heart. (And a stubborn streak.)
ALEC SNOW: 17 | french // senegalese | ice elemental | intj | capricorn
Alec almost smiled at that. “What I want is irrelevant. Get out of my way.”
The antagonist of our tale, Alec is… Not talkative. He’s a short mixed kid with neatly parted dark hair, blue eyes, and a lean build. Clever, serious, and stubborn, he understands books and strategies far better than people. His magic manifests in the form of ice wolves, and he’s never seen without something pointy and dangerous in hand.
RYAN: unknown, likely 30s | unknown | sorcerer | estp | libra
“Jesus Christ, kid,” he muttered, taking in the mess. “Slow down, the dead aren’t going anywhere. You want a drink?”
The Obi Wan Kenobi of the story, if Obi Wan were a chain-smoking alcoholic covered in tattoos who genuinely didn’t give two shits about Luke or the fate of the galaxy. He’s mysterious, kind of, but mostly just a hinderance who likes to complain. As a sorcerer, however, he knows the ins and outs of the magical world, making him an indispensable resource to Ari. (What? No, it doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that he has an RV and she can’t drive. Definitely not the only reason she keeps him around. Nope.)
the thicker your thighs are the more kittens can lay on your lap
This is the body positivity post I’ve been waiting for.
6, 7 and 9 for haven and mars!
6. Who is the big spoon?
Logically Mars is because she’s taller (5′ 8″ to Haven’s 5′ 3″), but they switch off, tbh.
7. Favorite date activity?
They like to go thrift shopping together! They also spend a lot of time at coffee shops (but Haven always gets hot chocolate). Haven’s big on photography, and a solid half of her camera roll is just Mars trying on different clothes or drinking a latte in front of a window.
9. How open are they with their feelings?
Mars struggles with admitting her feelings about most things, but she’s more genuine and affectionate with Haven than anyone else. Haven wears her heart on her sleeve with pretty much everyone, which is part of why Mars feels comfortable trusting her with her own feelings.
