I wish more people knew it was okay to cross ship Laszlo in the WWDITS fandom.
Laszlo/Nadja = flawless!
Laszlo/Colin = amazing!
Laszlo/Sean = brilliant!
Laszlo/Guillermo = fuck yes!
Laszlo/Nandor = fantastic!
Like dude, neither Laszlo or Nadja are monogamous. They both fuck around. The beauty of them is you don't just have to ship them with each other.

i think a lot of you are conflating the creation of Any Written Fanwork for a piece of media with badly made tropey horny gay fetish fanfic. i can’t be that mad because that content so loudly dominates the sphere of written fanworks but also some of you are clearly sooo scared to have fun writing a little fanfiction once in a while despite the fact that that act itself is entirely neutral LOL

you know, you're just amazing. and not just the fact that you write huge beautiful chapters in such a short amount of time. you also reply to everything. to every single person. and i just can't fathom how much time that takes. and i know you'll say you love all your fans, but all of it must get at least a bit tiring at times. so i guess i just wanna thank you for being such a gorgeous human being. i wish you happiness and rest. take as much time as you need in replying to this. and get yourself a tasty treat because you deserve it
Why are YOU SO NICE?!??
I’ve been staring at this ask thinking “how did someone say something so amazingly kind to me?!”
I just… idk I love you guys & you make me happy everyday with your asks and comments and FAN ART…. & all the enthusiasm you have for my writing and I can’t help but want to give it back!
I do try to respond to everyone because I care about each of you & thanks for noticing it means a lot.
I LOVE YOU ANON!!! Seriously… thanks this was really nice
(& I swear I’m going to finish responding to the comments from last chapter!!)

one of the main reasons why sk8 is such a good show (in my opinion) is the characterization of reki.
the fact that reki doesn’t somehow magically get better and surpass everyone, the fact that reki improves but not enough to be the best, the fact that reki gets jealous but not in this complete character-changing way is so important.
i think that’s one of the reasons that i like reki so much.
in media nowadays, the underdog character always becomes amazing, they always win in the end. they have a story similar to reki’s, but it turns out they always just needed a little bit more practice or a different teacher or more self-confidence to become better. there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with that, but it puts this immense pressure on everyone to want to be the best. it makes everyone think that if they can’t win, if they aren’t the best, if they don’t magically improve and become a prodigy, then they’re bad at whatever it is.
but that isn’t the case with reki.
reki tries and he tries and he tries so hard but no matter what he does, everyone else is better and that’s more realistic in a way. he doesn’t magically improve or magically realize that if he does some specific thing then he’ll be better than everyone else, he just isn’t and he becomes okay with that.
as much as everyone wanted reki to win his second beef against ad*m, i’m glad that he didn’t. i would like for him to beat ad*m because ad*m is terrible, but he didn’t because ad*m is genuinely just that good of a skater.
what makes reki losing so important is that even when he loses, he’s proud of himself. he’s happy and he’s okay with second place. what makes it even more important? not one single person in his little found family went “you were so close!” or “you almost had him!” or said anything about him losing because that wasn’t what was important.
here was this seventeen year old kid who they all realized they cared deeply for not because of his ability to skate, but because of his heart. he just basically got tortured while skating, but he finished the race. it didn’t matter to any of them that he lost, they were proud of him because he finished and he was happy. they all knew something was wrong--maybe at this point they know why or maybe reki tells them later--so seeing reki smile and laugh after one of the most purposefully violent beefs ever was more important.
reki is a symbol for being okay with being okay. reki is a symbol for those who aren’t naturally gifted and those who don’t become so much better even after loads of practice.
reki is loved by his friends and he is considered worthy not because his skating ability defined his worth, but because he loves it. that’s something that most of the found family needed to learn, and they learned it from reki.
skating is supposed to be fun--any activity you do is supposed to be fun. it’s really hard to remember that sometimes especially when you’re surrounded by such talented people--especially when you feel left out of left behind because everyone else is becoming better and you simply aren’t no matter how much you try.
reki is a reminder that you don’t have to be the best at what you do. reki teaches us that you don’t have to be really good at an activity to be amazing and that your worth is not defined by your talent.
people don’t often shows these sides of talent and activities. it’s always the underdog becomes amazing or you have to win or you’re a failure or you can become the best by practicing a lot and the thing is? that simply isn’t true. practice helps, sure. reki did improve when he practiced, but not by a whole heck of a lot. he isn’t on cherry’s level or joe’s level or miya’s or shadow’s or langa’s, and that’s okay.
you can still be important and you can still be a main character and you can still do something that brings you joy even if you aren’t amazing at it.
there are many great things about sk8 and many great things about kyan reki, but this has got to be one of my favorite things about them.

figuring out that I'm femme when most of the other people in my head are butches actually has been so fun!
We have always had a deep appreciation for femmes, ofc including those that are butch4butch, but it's definitely a different experience to BE the femme. Like oh I can actually feel pretty and hot and happy in dresses?? Very fun and cool!!

Donna was one of the best companions specifically because she didn't have any sexual tension or romantic attraction to the Doctor. Like yes we all love Rose and we're always going to love Rose, but Donna was with the Doctor out of genuine platonic affection for him. Not because she was hoping for anything from him, but because she enjoyed his world.
Yes!! Donna just being besties with The Doctor is one of the top reasons why I enjoyed her the most tbh (besides the fact that she's absolutely badass). Rose is amazing obviously, DoctorRose forever, but it was so refreshing to have a companion that wasn't dating The Doctor or spending the whole season WISHING The Doctor loved them (sorry Martha). Donna and Ten were genuinely just having a grand old time together as best friends doing epic things together while bringing out the best in each other and I love that for both of them so much! Especially at the point they both were at in their lives, they both needed a best friend like that so badly.

Does it ever seem to you like some anti-Jedi people can be really... condescending? And mocking? They don't just deliver their opinions, they put the Jedi and everyone who loves them down. Whenever someone offers a counterargument in defense, they (almost scoffingly) tear into it. It comes across to me as laughing at the Jedi Order. Yes, I am thinking of specific tumblr blogs, but I won't name them because I don't want to start drama.
I think it's unfair to judge anyone by how much they like or dislike a certain fictional character. I suspect most of the problems we have with people who don't like the Jedi simply come from the fact that there are so many of them. Any large group on the Internet is likely to have more obnoxious people than the smaller ones.
I mean, I know a couple of people who love the Jedi and engage in every one of the behaviors you described. It can be just as annoying to see.
Honestly, the block feature is your best friend. If there really are blogs that are too abrasive or just plain insufferable and you don't want to deal with them, block 'em! You don't owe them your patience, only your civility. Blacklisting them with Tumblr Savior is also a great option if blocking feels uncalled for or too radical.
