“Even If We Can Never Meet Again, Even If We Have Different Tomorrows, Just For A Day, I Wish We Were

I don’t ‘zone out’. Being zoned out is my default state, and I occasionally zone back in to check how things are going.

oh. maybe. maybe this it. maybe that’s the problem.

After seeing Black Panther...

After watching Black Panther and having fallen in love with Letitia Wright’s Shuri (T’Challa’s little sister) and knowing that she is as smart or smarter than Tony Stark.

What I want for Avengers Infinity War:

Her fixing Rhodey spines with her technology.

Her making Tony Stark a full vibranium armor.

Her arguing with Tony Stark, Steven Strange and Bruce Banner about science and shit.

Her bounding and forming a friendship with Peter Parker.

Her making hardcore weapons with Rocket Raccoon and blow shit up with it.

Her character is just too cool to not make her interact with other characters in the MCU. I hope they will do something like that in the next movie.

I love how my Tumblr’s this one big mess of ships, fandoms and cats and dogs but I do sometimes worry for my followers. They follow me because I post 10000 things about a single fandom then I suddenly jump ship and post another 10000 things about another and then I’ll be stuck in the vicious cycle until I have annoyed enough people. But then, I stopped worrying because maybe all of us are just like that.

An important quote since some people keep forgetting:

So I may be judgmental and choosy about what I consume, but I am absolutely firm in my belief that everyone who wants to try writing should do so. I will encourage anyone I come across to write fanfic. If I see your post about trying out a story or working on a chapter, I will like the shit out of that post. I’ll probably comment. I don’t care if you ship my notp: you should write that fanfic right now, tonight. Even if it’s your first time trying to write fiction. Even if you’ve only got a few lines of dialogue in your mind. Even if it starts as just an outline.

I think fanfic can be a beautiful act of creative expression and I felt that in my bones even when I started writing as a nervous tween. I feel it on days when I can’t write yet but I’m building up to the day when I will. I feel it now. And fucking trust me–you deserve to feel it too.

No one else can write the story that you can write. No one else has the words you have. That movie running in the back of your mind, that moment of a character experiencing a dramatic revelation, that mental image of the grandest first kiss you can imagine… That’s yours. You can write it, you can create it, and nothing can take that power away from you.

I’ll cheer you on if you need cheering. I can’t promise to read stuff but I’ll listen and I’ll tell you to go for it and I’ll whoop when you say you had a good writing session. Encourage you to love those OCs, that OTP, the long building twist, the narrative poem.

Fanfic is fucking amazing. Art is amazing. You can start any day you want. It’s here for you.

Friend: So do you really only read books for the plot?

Me:...

Audrey Rose Wadsworth: "I was determined to be both pretty and fierce, as Mother had said I could be. Just because I was interested in a man’s job didn’t mean I had to give up being girly. Who defined those roles anyhow?"

Claire Beauchamp: "One dictum I had learned on the battlefields of France in a far distant war: You cannot save the world, but you might save the man in front of you, if you work fast enough."

Juliette Ferrars: "Water that never moves." I say to him. "Its fine for a little while. You can drink from it and it'll sustain you. But if it sits too long it goes bad. It grows stale. It becomes toxic." I shake my head. "I need waves. I need waterfalls. I want rushing currents."

Inej Ghafa: "We meet fear. We greet the unexpected visitor and listen to what he has to tell us. When fear arrives, something is about to happen."

Feyre Archeron: "I was not a pet, not a doll, not an animal. I was a survivor, and I was strong. I would not be weak, or helpless again I would not, could not be broken. Tamed."

Aelin Galathynius: "She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius—­and she would not be afraid."

Katy Swartz: "Words were the most powerful tool. Simple and so often underestimated. They could heal. They could destroy. And I needed to use my words now."

Jude: "What could I become if I stopped worrying about death, about pain, about anything? If I stopped trying to belong? Instead of being afraid, I could become something to fear."

Vasilisa: "All my life, I have been told ‘go’ and ‘come.’ I am told how I will live, and I am told how I must die. I must be a man’s servant and a mare for his pleasure, or I must hide myself behind walls and surrender my flesh to a cold, silent god. I would walk into the jaws of hell itself, if it were a path of my own choosing. I would rather die tomorrow in the forest than live a hundred years of the life appointed me."

Me: ...The characters are pretty cool too
