The News: Oh no the Queen of England died, we're all very sad she was such a good person- Me: HAHAHAHAHAAhahaaaha
I felt far more sad when my grandma's dog died yesterday, this, this is as funny as when prince philip died (tho not as many hilarious tiktoks made about it)

I saw a few other blogs doing this so I thought I'd share my input on what I think would happen in the House MD universe in 2024:
the constant jokes abt house and wilson's relationship turns into the fellows jokingly writing fanfic abt their boss and his boy best friend. somewhere along the way they all get very serious abt the quality of it and it turns into a Whole Thing, a 150k+ novel that they vow to take to their graves.
house discovers the fic by accident and sends it to wilson. wilson discovers things abt himself and then he and house discover each other shortly thereafter.
house purposefully posts the fic online and credits the fellows by their entire full names so it embarrasses them more than house and wilson. It's never spoken abt again but it gets way more online attention than any of them expected.
wilson doesn't get how the Cloud works and accidentally uploads his and house's nudes to the google nest hub on his desk. He doesn't notice it until one of his sweet little old lady cancer patients points it out to him during their appointment. He throws the google nest hub into his trash can until he can figure out how to get the naked pictures off of it.
house has an alexa and abuses the hell out of it. sometimes ppl hear him screaming at someone in his office, only to walk in and find a robotic voice replying with "sorry, I didn't get that" and house throws it off the balcony.
wilson gets addicted to online shopping. house has to stage an intervention bc they do not have enough room in their closet for another pair of prada loafers and their kitchen is full of shitty gadgets that wilson bought off temu or something.
some right wing social media influencer comes in with a mysterious illness and ends up getting castrated as part of the solution. 13 personally does the procedure herself and house watches like a proud dad.
a patient reveals chase's grindr by shoving his phone at him and asking "is this you?" abt the headless profile with the ripped abs that says Dr. Feel Good, 0 feet away, in front of the rest of the team.
foreman finds the team doing tiktok dances bc house told them to learn it in order to understand their 15 yr old patient better.
chase medically murders mitch mcconnel and the entire hospital celebrates ding dong the witch is dead style.
there's a whole episode where house faces his transphobia bc of a trans patient that he connects with. the patient tells him to fuck off and go face his own problems instead of pretending to make it right by being nice to one trans person. And house does, even if he's not perfect, he really tries to do better.
13 gets her medical marijuana card and accidentally becomes the team's plug. her main customer is wilson who still supplies it to certain terminal patients. She hears "hey, can I hit your pen?" at least four times a day.
foreman buys a tesla and it blows up in the parking lot. they spend the entire episode trying to figure out who tried to kill foreman, but it turns out that teslas just do that sometimes.
there's an episode where house finds out that netflix is removing his favorite obscure tv show that ran for 2 seasons in 2002 and wilson recruits the team to hunt down a dvd copy of it without house finding out. they somehow manage to find one and spend a ridiculous amount of money on it, only to open the dvd case and find a copy of the porno wilson starred in that one time instead of the dvd of the show. park saves the day at the last minute by finding a copy of it in a box of dvds in her parents house.

So @hejeksbs saw that post about fandom olds freaking out about IWTV stuff being posted on the AO3, and said they’re new to fandom and fandom culture and don’t understand. So congrats, Hejek, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000. This is going to be a basic primer, but I encourage others to chime in with details. (Also, thanks for reminding me I need an Interview exhibit in the museum. I had that written down somewhere.)
So if you go back to the 1990s and early 2000s—the pre-AO3 digital years—you’re going to see an official disclaimer on just about every fic. These basically said “I don’t own anything here, please don’t sue me.” Some were quoted elaborate.
These started because of Anne Rice.
See, Anne Rice was, how can I say this nicely…an asshole? The day she died there were literally people posting crab rave and “Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead” from The Wizard of Oz on Tumblr. Because before Harry Potter fanfiction was pretty frowned upon and you might get a C&D if you didn’t keep your head down properly, but Anne Rice.
ANNE RICE.
Anne Rice literally recruited her “loyal fans” to harass people who made fanworks. At least one person was doxxed to her workplace by rabid Ricers, and at the time fanfiction was taboo enough you could absolutely get fired for that. I was eleven and friends with someone who was 13 who’d just read Interview and drew this wonky I-am-a-kid-who-can’t-really-draw-yet-but-I-loved-this-SO-MUCH piece of fanart of Louis and Lestat, and she literally dipped off the internet because she got an extremely nasty “I’m suing you” threat from Rice. (Are you out there, Mercury000? It’s me, sailorsharon0722.)
Anne Rice did everything in her power to ensure there was no IWTV fandom at all. I’ve heard from people older than me that she used to host a “vampire’s ball” every year in New Orleans for her “loyal fans” but if you showed up and she felt your costume outshone her own, she’d make you leave. People didn’t dare so much as put “Lestat” and “fanfiction” in the same sentence.
And then, irony of ironies, when her reputation got so bad she was struggling to sell books, she…became a Christian and started writing Bible fanfiction to sell.
Yeah.
Over the years there were claims she’d changed her mind about fanfiction, but nobody ever had evidence to back this up. I even saw a dude on Quora claiming to be a close friend of hers saying we were all lying, and he got absolutely ratioed by fans going “I still have my C&D letter, you wanna fucking try again?”
Incidentally, I would like to point out that her attitude wasn’t uniform. It’s easy to say “that’s just how it was,” but Neil Gaiman has been around since the 1980s and has always appreciated fanfiction. Stephen King’s approach is “please tell me, to my face, that me explicitly writing about Cthulhu isn’t fanfiction” and otherwise pretty lassez-faire (he has no interest in knowing you’re writing fanfiction of his stuff, he just genuinely doesn’t care), and his first book was published in the early 1970s. Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, actually accepted submissions of fanfiction scripts DURING THE SHOW’S ORIGINAL RUN, at least according to popular lore. (@dduane, can you check me on this?) Mercedes Lackey—who’s 1980s-and-1990s fantasy royalty—has been asked on Quora about why she “changed her mind about fanfiction” and her response was “I never changed my mind, I just had to talk my publisher into accepting it. I’ve always been okay with it but I had to say no because of my contract.” Sure, Diana Galbaldon was out there comparing fanfiction to rape(????), but even among those who disapproved of fanfiction, Rice’s attitude and actions were extreme. And they persisted into the 2000s, too, with her egging on fans who harassed and sent death threats to a YouTube reviewer who didn’t like one of her books.
AO3 changed ALL of that.
AO3 said “here is our well-researched legal claim that fanfiction is legal, and if someone gives you shit about works you have posted on our website, our lawyers will represent you. You can post safely here. It’s okay. We got your back.”
Even so, the fear about Anne Rice continued. And can you blame people? This woman’s name held the same power in fannish conversations as “Voldemort.” (A moniker by which I’ve actually heard her called.) She all but destroyed the old guard, on purpose.
….and then a new generation of fans happened. A new generation that didn’t remember life before AO3, had never known anyone who literally had to move house to get away from Rice’s minions’ threats and harassment. I know we use “nature is healing” as a joke on this website, but really truly, that’s what happened here. She left charred tree trunks and bushes that were old-school fans and from their ashes tiny little 2010s-fans seedlings began to grow.
The thousand-odd fics you saw in those screenshots (which I feel I should clarify are from before the new show came out—a show that must have her turning in her grave, because she was absolutely adamant that all her vampires were STRAIGHT and if you thought otherwise you were DISGUSTING, and I hope she spins so hard her corpse combusts) are absolutely shocking to us older fans because it’s like staggering out of a nuclear wasteland and spotting a little garden with signs saying “free nuclear-illness medical services” and realizing it’s real. What the fuck, what the fuck, but also, holy shit y’all we’re so proud of you. YES. Keep going. Don’t let the witch get you down.
EDIT: I’ve been informed by someone in the notes that IT ACTUALLY GETS WORSE:
Tumblr media
I’m not going to transcribe the whole thing because I’m on mobile and most of it is just bog-standard post notes, but what’s relevant is @theoriginalvelocipastor saying “OP forgot the part where she [Anne Rice] would take ideas from fanfiction.”
Like holy motherFUCKER this woman’s hypocrisy.

Random Thoughts on the Queen Charlotte series
It was near perfection. I’d give it a 9.5 out of 10. The 0.5 mark down would be for three reasons: 
1) Nobody asked to see Lady Danbury incessantly humped by that toothless grandpa known as her husband. NO. BODY. 
2) There was a little sloppiness transitioning from Charlotte’s outburst to Princess Augusta (which was justified - she just found out about her husband’s mental health issues) to writing him letters and seemingly wanting him back - I wanted to see more of her thoughts as she went through this phase.
3) You can’t introduce a character, make us fall in love with him, and then just ghost us about his whereabouts. What happened to Reynolds?
There was also some sloppiness with the Adolphus/Lady Danbury thing they had going. Like I didn’t really see their connection/chemistry. It felt very rushed. But I didn’t care about that storyline so I’m not taking off points for that.
We got a DRY spell sexy times wise in season 2, but QC BROUGHT the 🔥🔥🔥! That Even Days episode rivals episode 6 of season 1.
The reason I can’t quit Shonda is that she does one thing better than any other show runner out there currently. She knows how to find leads that have insane chemistry. We saw it on Grey’s and Scandal. And we definitely saw it with Charlotte and George.
It was heartbreaking AF but such a beautiful love story.
You went through all the emotions but you still laughed. 
I did not have Lady Danbury having her first O with Violet’s dad on my bingo card. But I was surprisingly OK with it.
Even though it was apparent that Lady Danbury was little more than a possession to her husband, she really had his back. She was supportive AF, but I cheered with her and her maid were excited about his death. Ding dong the witch is dead.
Life for women was bleak AF back in the day even for royals. Princess Augusta alluded to a lot of crappy stuff she had to deal with. 
Let me get all philosophical for a moment. Watching that doctor’s “treatment plan” for George was horrifying. What are our doctors doing now that will horrify people in the future? (Methinks it’s the overprescribing of certain pills but that’s a rant for another day.)
Brimsley and Reynold’s loyalty and investment in their king and queen was really heartwarming to watch.
This show had me crying like it was an episode of This Is Us. Stop it. But don’t, cuz I loved it.
I’m sure more thoughts will come to me. But I loved this show. For a spinoff, it’s better than the original. I was expecting it to be on par, but it surpassed it.

Now you are insulting witches as a whole by calling Odalia that. Like, it’s not an insult if that’s what she literally is.
Just call her a piece of shit.
Technically they're all witches so it be like saying "Ding dong the person's dead"☝️
But still, Amber can say "Ding Dong the bitch is dead". And then scolded by Raine for language despite them thinking the same thing.

a few more possible episode ideas for another show.
its Floyd's Birthday and the brothers are all excited to plan a big surprise party for him JD Bruce and Clay all excitedly decorate the place with stuff they know Floyd likes and talk about their personalised gifts for him.
meanwhile Branch's excited smile slowly fades as he realises he doesn't actually remember anything that Floyd liked or any of the other bros due to being too young when they left.
anyway long story short at Floyd's party after he acts grateful to the others for their gifts and ideas Branch gets embarrassed since he didn't even know where to start and he leaves the party.
Floyd goes after Branch to talk on their own and when Branch tells him what's up and that he somewhat feels like a stranger in his own family due to how young he was when they left.
so he doesn't really remember anything specific about them but Floyd light-heartedly lets him in on a secret that he actually doesn't like any of that stuff anymore.
he just didn't say anything cause he didn't wanna hurt his brothers feelings and ruin the moment when really he's just happy that he's celebrating this birthday with them all back together.
but the simple fact is the things his brothers are all remembering are from over 20+ years ago when he was a young teenager he's changed almost completely since then.
and so have the rest of them except for JD lol but with all the others they've all been slowly realising that they aren't the same people who they last saw when they were teenagers.
and there's been plenty of trial and error Branch just hasn't noticed it so their all fairly new to each other due to their time apart.
but that isn't ever gonna change unless they take the time to get to know each other in the present.
so they both agree to go back to the party and make more of an effort.
2. another one is where Branch ends up hearing maybe from these bird creatures he talks to where he kinda has a long wide communication network set up all in the name of safety of course.
and one of his Bird contacts tells him that they talked to another creature that witnessed Chef's death at the end of the first film.
since ya know the last time our main characters saw her she was tumbling down the hill with her butt stuck in the cooker while on fire so they didn't actually see her get eaten like we the audience did.
so they assumed she was likely still alive all this time up until now anyway the news of her confirmed death makes Branch go around the village in a very joyous mood.
singing for no reason handing out snacks to random people and just being very cheery Poppy tries to ask him if he wants to talk about anything but Branch says what would he want to talk about?
he's happier than he's ever been anyway Poppy tells his brothers behind his back that she's worried about him but they don't really see it and think he's just reasonably happy over finding out a crappy person got their just desserts.
anyway Branch goes even more over the top in his happy shenanigans saying they should all throw a big party in the village to celebrate with a giant banner reading
"" ding dong the witch is dead ""
anyway despite poppy being even more worried and all of the brothers actually starting to feel a little worried as well except for JD who thinks the parties a great idea. 😂😂😂😂
the big party goes ahead and Branch gets pretty wasted ( on sugar ) and gets up onto stage to make a big speech with Poppy very nervously trying to talk him down since he's clearly crashing.
but Branch after saying a few things that makes everyone uncomfortable stops and thinks to himself and then kinda takes a deep breath and speaks more from the heart.
he says that he spent practically all of his life afraid and hurt and even as he got better he always thought that certain things would fix him or make him feel more whole.
but despite Chef being dead and even despite them all being at peace with the Bergens now he still feels just as afraid as he used to and he still feels the pain he's lived with his whole life.
he thought knowing she was gone would kinda close the book on that part of his life and wrap it all up in a neat little bow and allow him to finally move on completely.
but he just felt the exact same as he always has done and he kinda went into denial over it trying to convince himself everything was better for him now.
3. this one was inspired by an idea j-ad1 had in the comments section of one of my Gary posts anyway the plot is that.
the Bros get annoyed/kinda wierded out by how Branch takes Gary with him everywhere and is constantly smugly chattering on and on about the things Gary can do to the point the Bros find it very annoying and also kinda weird.
so they take Gary in the middle of the night and maybe try to play it off as some kinda animal that broke into the Bunker and dragged him away or something.
their hoping that even if Branch will be a little annoyed at first he'll quickly get over it and kinda cure him of his weird obsession with an inanimate object.
only for Branch to begin an obsessive search for Gary to the point he becomes even more unhinged and eventually even breaks down over it which his bros didn't expect they just sorta thought he'd be a little annoyed that he was lost but then he'd get over it and move on.
so it actually surprises them to see him so genuinely upset over Gary's absence and maybe his brothers even ask why it means so much to him and he finally tells them about how Gary was what comforted him during the years he spent hiding away.
when he had no one else and he made him feel safe whenever he was afraid which knowing Branch was nearly every single day given how paranoid he was over the Bergens finding them.
and it made him feel like he did have some sorta family around him back when he had no one and that yeah he knows some people think its kinda weird.
despite his rep as the village's crazy person he isn't actually entirely oblivious to how it looks.
anyway to end the episode I'd have Bro zone realise they were wrong and they go to retrieve Gary from the place they Dumped him only to realise he actually has been taken by a pack of animals this time.
and they actually have to go to a bit of effort retrieving him from the pack of animals getting themselves a bit torn up in the process and in the end they give Gary back to Branch and he's so grateful that they got him back which makes the bros feel pretty bad.
and they fess up to what they did and apologise with maybe the episode ending on a bit of a comedic note of them promising to do whatever it takes to make it up to Branch.
and it ends with him making them do really hard chores around his Bunker while Gary watches on in a chair with a nice little drink to his side. 😂😂😂😂

When I started reading Chapter 64, my first thought was that it a flash-forward to the explosion Wormtail caused after faking his death. Not sure if it was deliberate parallel, but man it made me extremely sad for a moment.
As I’ve said before, your writing is so distinctive for each character; but, the aftermath reminded me so much of the battle chaos in Deathly Hallows. Very well written, as always.
And hey, 🎶 ding dong the wicked witch is dead! 🎶
(Okay so maybe he wasn’t exactly Death Eater level of evil but still)
It was definitely a deliberate parallel 😈
Thanks so much for the kind words!

regulus glances at sirius. ten years since they last saw each other. he looks so different. when they last saw each other, sirius had short hair. no tattoos or piercings. he dressed normally. no rips or pins or anything. but this is- well, this is sirius but with the freedom to be himself. he is a leather jacket with pins stuck in it. he is long hair that gets stuck in the million piercings in his ears or the one in his eyebrow. he is designs on his arms that regulus doesn't understand. this is him.
sirius glances at regulus. doesn't look different in the slightest. hair still short, him still pale, in a crisp shirt and a sweater vest. god, what a dork. ten years and he still hasn't looked very interesting. except for the black liner around his eyes and the few rings on his fingers. those are new. he was so scared last time they saw each other. time and quiet. he's still quiet. but in that calculating way he always had been. and so. this is him. regulus.
"why'd you wanna meet up, reg? we've gone ten years without talking and you've ignored most of my efforts to reconnect."
"well. it wasn't me ignoring them. maman made me ignore you."
"and yet you're here right now and reached out. so, what changed?" regulus looks down.
"andy didn't tell you?"
"tell me what?"
"maman died. i'm here to ask if you'd come and… and help me."
"she died?"
"i thought andy would've already told you. sirius, i'm sorry."
"for what? ding dong, the witch is dead, reggie!" he sees regulus smile very slightly. "dude, when marley or remus take me to shul with them, it's what i'm praying for!"
"i can't really disagree."
"yeah! this is a good thing."
"but. but will you help me with the funeral and the everything?"
"oh! right. yeah, reg, of course. whatever you need."
