When You Didn’t See The Major Character Death Warning And It’s Too Late To Give It Up Now:

Words to live by. You got this far, why not keep going?

Hey! I need help. I’m supposed to write/translate a dramatic script based off a scene from a movie or a tv show, and I want to do a supernatural scene. The thing is, I want to do the most outrageous scene there is that will freak out my teacher and confuse the crap out of her. Any suggestions?

For later, got about half way thru them, though I skipped a few. Come back for when you need Merlin Fics before you search thru the entire sight again.

This has got to be one of the funniest and most stupid things I’ve seen two people do 😂

Don’t mind them 🙄

Thiam scenes in the TW series finale

When you find a fic on your favourite ship, with an amazing plot and all the tropes you like.

Okay so this is the closest gif I could find on short notice, cause I don’t want to lose my train of thought.

But you all know how their promise gets Bucky out of 70 years of brainwashing?

Well it kind of just hit me, and if you already thought of this good for you, BUT what if he also got out of it (because of/with the help of) the fact that he was looking down on a beaten/weak/defenseless Steve like he was ‘used’ to seeing back then??????

I really didn’t need to hurt myself like this but oh well...

You’re welcome everybody! Let’s suffer together🥳

I think it's the ALMOST canon ships that get the best, most intricately woven, beautifully told fanfiction.

those nearly-kind-of-almost-maybe-could-be canon couples

the ones that make it almost painful to live with the knowledge that if just one or two things had happened differently, just one or two things: if one of them had said something differently here, done something differently there, or if certain events had shifted a little, just a fraction, they'd have been together - undoubtedly.

you can see it. everyone can see it. but it's not enough - they're still an almost-but-not-quite, maybe-but-it-was-never-confirmed, kind-of-but-annoyingly-ambiguous

fanfiction writers take their potential and they hold it close and they lovingly craft something amazing and beautiful with it - finally giving them the chance to be together like everyone knows they would be in-canon if the story wasn't against them

they spring out entire novels from canon-divergence in the places where just a little step in another direction could have led to them being together

they build whole intricate Alternate Universes where the characters are able to meet in an entirely different way and still fall for each other

what I'm saying is that the insanity of a ship where it was almost-canon drives writers to a specific kind of creative madness that produces the best fanfiction....

so if you check out my graph here you can see the line for the more almost it gets vs the more unhinged and motivated it makes the writers both rising in a wonderfully clear diagonal line and today I will be discussing the
