I know it's an action movie and they are secret agents doing crazy stunts and fight scenes, but honestly, can we just send them to some nice place where they can cuddle, hold hands and do little mundane things?

And I won't apologise for reblogging 100+ post with Ilsa and Ethan on the balcony.

Me after reading another fanfiction about the same two fuckers falling in love:

I don’t know if anyone’s noticed this, but in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, when Lucy is having her Trial of temptation dream, we see both Peter and Edmund.

However, when Lucy freaks out about there being no Narnia, and no her in this reality, only Edmund seems remotely concerned at the end.

Peter has always been her protector, and I think that this dream revealed how terrified she was of losing him.

Hi it's me. First of I'm terribly sorry for not posting - a lot of bad stuff happened this year - including my laptop saying bye bye. But apart from all that terrible shit that happened (not just to me - also world in general) I also have some good news to tell: 1) I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT AN ACTING SCHOOL (whaaat?!! Yes. And it was pretty amazing - even though I just went for two weeks - but I made some new friends and know now for sure that I want to do acting in my future) 2) I MET THE FREAKING FANTASTIC SHADOW AND BONE CAST IN PARIS!!!! (Yesss and let me tell you they are the sweetest ever. I could tell you all that happened but I'll probably do an extra post on that because it's just too much. But I already miss them so much. Hopefully I have the chance to meet them again in May)

When I say “Fanfiction is free” part of what I’m saying is yes, you did not pay for the thing.

But I saw a comment from someone that made me realize the rest of the intention behind these words is being lost.

Fanfiction is provided for free, but it is not produced for free.

Authors pay their effort, including physical and emotional and mental. Authors pay their time, in planning the story (mental time) and writing the story (physical time). Sometimes it’s less than an hour for something quick and dirty, like askbox prompts. Sometimes it’s years of their lives in epic fic hundreds of thousands of words long. Authors pay additional time to alpha read their own stories, trying to make sure that they’re free of SPAG errors and make sense and sound good. Beta readers pay their time and effort alongside the authors for editing the stories. Authors pay for posting their stories with all of the anxieties that come from allowing their work - which to this point they have invested all of the above - into the public eye because while it has certainly cost them a good amount to produce the story, fandom history has proved that many other people out there enjoy fanfiction, and authors believe that at least someone else will enjoy their story, too.

What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is that it costs the writers a lot of something in order to produce it. A lot has already been paid into a piece of fanfiction by the time it is available for readers to read. The expense of fanfiction creation is, by and large, resting squarely atop the shoulders of writers.

What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is that readers don’t have to pay the cost of creating fanfiction.

What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is that readers don’t have to pay in anything - not time, not money, not effort, not anything - in order for fanfiction to be created. It’s a donation. It’s a gift. It’s available for you to take or leave, at the expense of someone else.

Writers have, for a very long time, requested donations of one thing as remuneration for everything they put into making fanfiction: comments. Authors have asked, in so many different iterations: “If you have consumed what I have labored and invested in to create and if you have found any enjoyment in it, please tell me, so that I can recharge enough to do this again.” Some of them may recharge on critical comments, but most of us don’t because we’ve already paid everything we want to pay to create the story.

What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” isn’t just that it doesn’t cost you any money. I am saying “Please respect the time and effort you didn’t have to pay into creating this thing you enjoyed, by respecting the individual creator’s requests.”

What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is “be kind to authors, they have paid a lot for this gift they’re sharing with all of us, and they deserve to feel like it was worth it.”

What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is “please don’t charge authors more time and emotional effort than what they’ve already provided you at no absolute cost.”

I’m not saying any of this to argue. It’s a fact that authors pay into providing fanfiction. They do it for fun. They do it out of love. They do it because they enjoy writing. No one is making them do it. No one is paying them to start or finish the story. That doesn’t mean it’s not WORK. And the only return they get on what they put into the story is the kindness of strangers that invest a little bit back by leaving a nice comment. That is why they stay, that is why they do it again, that is why we have fanfiction.

What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is “please don’t be the one charging authors so much more that they leave.”

What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is “please keep it that way.”

!!

Fanfiction is becoming people’s primary form of entertainment right now because most media right now is so cheap, bland, recycled, and sponsored by people who love money more than the source material. Fanfiction is written for free by people who genuinely love what they’re writing about. That’s why it’s better. That’s why it’s more satisfying. Fanfiction is a home-cooked meal made for yourself and for your friends. Media today is junky fast food spoiled by too much grease and the knowledge that the people producing it are being criminally mistreated and underpaid.

Shows

It seems that I now have an very unhealthy tv show addiction. I watched five season of "Outlander" with my sis in two and a half weeks (Don't worry it was in holdiays) and now I'm bingewatching Grey's anatomy (Already on season 11 - and yes I know what happens that's why I stopped haha) but anyways does anyone of you have really good recommendations? (Apart from "Private Practice or "Station 19" because I already have those on my list)
