“I love that character,” I say as I come up with upsetting headcanons for them. “Absolutely adore them,” I tell you as I bunny up sad story ideas for them. “They’re my favorite,” I sigh as I pick the most depressing songs for a playlist for them.
“I just want them to be happy,” I insist as I write horribly angsty oneshots centered around their misery.

If anyone’s trying to learn a language I’ve recently discovered this company called the Language Pod Company and it is so much better than Rosetta Stone and it’s completely free (unless you’d like one-one-one teacher-student help then it’s like $25 a month which tbh you shouldn’t really need because they make it really clear in the lessons). It’s super easy to navigate and it even gives you a history of the language. There are audio and video lessons. Real-life situations and different speakers. They even write the letters for you because I know sometime it’s hard to learn to write in a language that doesn’t use the same alphabet that you’re used to. You’re welcome.

My best friend trusts me so much she gave me her phone and had me sext a guy on her behalf while she’s driving. This is the realest relationship I’ve ever had

Don’t you love it when the writers care about what the fans like ?

I love giving and receiving fic reviews, but for a long time the whole process of writing a review used to be very fraught because I wanted to show my appreciation but I didn’t want to leave a generic “Loved this, please write more!” like every other comment the author had already gotten and was probably sick of. (Note - as an author, we do not get sick of these comments. We do not get sick of any comments.) But I figured something out a while ago and I figured I’d share it. How to leave a good comment on a fic: PICK A LINE.
Literally any line. Pick it as you’re reading. If a phrase or a sentence or a paragraph jumps out at you, highlight it and hit Ctrl+C. Then save that puppy until the comment section, paste it in, and let the author know why you liked it.
“___” My favorite line, it was hilarious!
“___” I’m gonna cry! Poor Character B!
“___” That is totally something Character A would say.
“___” omg this totally sums up their whole relationship, doesn’t it?
I’m a writer who is friends with a lot of writers. I have never met a writer who didn’t fucking love this. Worried that you’re not leaving a comprehensive review? It’s okay. Tell the author about the five-word sentence that you loved in their 10K word fic, and they will glow. I’m telling you this is foolproof. Take the stress out of commenting. Pick a line. Make a writer’s day.

AHHH YES! THE PERFECT REMARK TO MAKE.
No, seriously, I shit you not. I have written four complete novels. I self-published the first and the second accidentally aqcuired me an agent and now the third’s getting edited for publishing. I also have self-esteem issues like WOW, and every single person who has told me “You’re a great writer, here’s this over-arching statement that is detailed and genuine” gets an anxious, skeptical response. Because how do you even accept a compliment like that. It’s like being told “You’re really smart” and then you kind of shuffle and go, “Uh, thanks?”
BUT THE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON A SPECIFIC LINE. BE STILL MY HEART. THE PEOPLE WHO READ MY WRITING AND START LAUGHING AND LOOK UP TO TELL ME “THIS IS A GREAT LINE, I LOVE THIS CHARACTER’S SENSE OF HUMOR” OR WHO MAKE A DISTRESSED NOISE AND SAY “HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MY FAVORITE CHARACTER, THIS ONE LINE IS SO HEARTBREAKING”.
Those are the people who make me turn scarlet and duck my head and cover my mouth because my awkward grin is awful. Those are the people who make me WANT to talk to them about my writing, about the characters who live in my mind and the words that run through my veins. Those are the people who I remember when I reread something I wrote and hear the voices of every critic I’ve ever had telling me to pull my head out of the clouds, when I feel like I’m drowning in a black sea of my own inadequacy. Those are the people who I very awkwardly and tentatively tell “So…I wrote a new thing…if you maybe…wanna, you know, take a look at it…if you’re not too busy…or something.”
God yes. Pick a line. Make a writer love you.

YES redomega-phoenix WE WILL PLAY IT AND I WANT IT TO BE A REAL THING WITH MULTIPLAYERThis makes me want a video game about a zombie apocalypse that only affects men so it’s up to the housewives of 50s’ America to save humanity.
…saving this idea for class.
i would play the heck out of that game, it is an amazing idea.
Also can there be a character design screen so you can make your little housewife?
I think it’d be entertaining to see what guys could come up with for making their female-selves. If you ask me.
I would so play this game.
I would suck at it but I would play it.
I’ve never played a zombie game, but you got me at 50’s.
Hngggggggg I love 50s clothes give it to me
OMG I already thought of some sort of premise:
In 1953 a certain laboratory on an undisclosed location developed a serum that could genetically modify humans, giving them enhanced speed, agility, strength, and brainpower.
Scientists found a way to modify the serum such that it could only activate itself in the presence of a Y chromosome, thus isolating the effects to men, mostly because of female discrimination at the time.
The serum was a success, and sales skyrocketed just a few weeks after its release.
What the developers did not anticipate, though, was the human body’s incapacity to handle the serum. The mental and physical over-exhaustion triggered a mental decay which starts out slow, but speeds up exponentially within a few months after usage of the serum. The brains of the users are left with only the most basic survival reflexes, transforming the users into strong, fast, agile, emotionless human shells, devouring any mobile life form in their path.
Bites from the affected individuals could place copies of the rogue serum into the bodies of the bitten, giving them the symptoms. Shortly after, the serum evolved into a sort of genetic virus, causing mental decay in just days. No one was safe. No one…
…except the women.
*cue in epic music*
Can you imagine the shitstorm this game would cause. I’d laugh pretty hard.
Would still play it though.
Not gonna lie, I’d play the shit out of this.
387,784 notes and you’re telling not a single fucking one of you are a game developer?! SOMEONE PLEASE GET ON THIS BEFORE I LOSE MY SHIT
Its happening by sketchypandagames I can’t wait
HOLY SHIT, GOD STILL SITS IN HEAVEN, GIVE IT TO ME, I WILL BECOME A GAMER TO PLAY THIS. I NEED IT.

okay so i’ve seen at least one Daredevil/Elementary fic where claire patches up sherlock but like where’s the fic where joan patches up matt
pre-weird little devil horns, of course, when he was just a dude all in black who sometimes bit off more than he could chew
like maybe he’s stumbling around half dead near the brownstone when joan runs across him, her phone already out to call 911 or captain gregson or both at the same time judging from this fucker’s getup, and he does his usual *clearly dying of a stab wound voice* No Don’t Take Me To A Hospital I Am Paranoid And Illegal routine, just call claire or drive me to this address if you wanna help
and joan’s like what the fuck no i don’t run a nyc corpse delivery service and that’s what you’ll definitely be if i try to truck you all the way to hell’s kitchen, fuck, get inside
