Reblog If You Believe Fanfics Are As Valid As Books That Were Published And Sold By Authors Who Write

No matter how much you dislike your own writing, I promise you it’s better than AI

RIP Arthur Pendragon. You would've loved the blokey banter, external validation and inherent homoeroticism of men's football

bbc merlin - 03x12 The Coming of Arthur, Part I

grabbing merlin like he wasn't the one waiting for You is actually very funny of arthur

this reminds me of the time someone on tiktok said fanfiction websites are like drug dealers: if you want the good shit, you go to a good dealer; bad quality drugs on wattpad, mid quality drugs on ff.net and excellent, well-sourced drugs from ao3. as someone who doesn't even do drugs this still makes total sense

Reading fanfiction on ao3 is like being addicted to drugs.

The first time you read one you experience this immense amount of euphoria and satisfaction (because of a well-done story or your ship having a solid dynamic etc.)

The high lasts for quite some time until you want way more of that special feeling so you read more and more until eventually nothing can satisfy you anymore.

But instead of trying to quit, we embrace the madness and let it takes us wherever it wants.

And I think that's beautiful.

if I had a dollar for every time the bbc made a show about an iconic character from british canon except he's young with black hair, pale skin and prominent cheekbones, and he has an intense relationship with his best friend and is generally gay coded, aside from weird sexual tension with a powerful woman who also has black hair, pale skin and a strong jawline, and is otherwise a lesbian who is fucking her maid

I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot but we don't enough about the fact that it happened twice at the same time

gay?

Okay how the FUCK did Arthur keep his cool????

I just got dressed in armor by my friend because he’s making a ren faire knight costume and he needed someone to demonstrate on and hoOOOooOoly SHIT that’s gotta be one of the most intimate acts I’ve ever engaged in

(Yes I have a slight crush on this boy but hush)

Point is, our boy Arthur was WHIPPED and he had Merlin dress him everyday??? Either bantering or in solemn quiet where the words “I love you” or “be safe please” hang lingering in the air but neither wants to say it?????? Bro I may be asexual but if a fucking buff man who’s killed for me and who was in love with me who looks like Colin fucking Morgan tenderly put armor on me I’d make out with him on the spot

Arthur is truly the strongest of them all holding on to that tiny shred of heterosexuality

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

"fuck it we ball" is for stress about the future "it is what it is" is for stress about the past and "this too shall pass" is for stress about the present thank you for coming to my TED talk
