Bridgerton - Like You Haven’t Seen It Before!
I created this edit using the sound effects in Bridgerton. They are timed to the music which creates a whole new viewing experience. I promise this is a type of edit you have never seen before.
I posted this a day before the trailer came out, but I wanted to wait a bit for the hype to die down. Please give a like/comment if you like it. The YouTube algorithm buried this one.

Zutara Week 2021 Day 7: Stories
In my mind there is a very clear connection between the prompt “stories” and my attempt at rewriting part of the AtLA ending, however I’m having a terrible time verbalizing it (sort of “stories belong to their readers” ala John Green vibes?). Instead you get this snippet from a meta I wrote months ago (which I guess I’ll need to post now to have this make sense):
So if someone asks me if a romantic Zutara relationship is “canon” within the context of AtLA, then no it isn’t. But for me, that’s literally the only place where Zuko and Katara aren’t deeply in love and living their best lives together. AtLA is a work of fiction, and fictional characters are just as fictional when a fan thinks about them as when the character’s creator thinks about them. A story is only as real as you make it. And for me? Zutara is real.
Sorry, no kiss, but as I’ve said a few scattered times - my preferred show ending would have had no canon romances except Sukka (although I certainly wouldn’t have been upset if there had been a Zutara ending…).

Fanfiction is in Jeopardy: Here’s how you can help
February 27, 2024 If you’re not plugged into bookish social media, you may not have seen the news: Onyx_and_Elm, the author of a popular Harry Potter fanfiction called Breath Mints and Battle Scars, has removed their works from AO3. This is due to the rampant (and illegal) issue of people selling bound copies of fanfiction online, often in storefronts like Etsy. This announcement from…

And another one bites the dust. This is genuinely upsetting. I may not ship Dramione, but even I know that this? This? This is a snowball rolling down a hill. It starts off with Dramione and it’s going to grow, branch out into other fandoms.
Soon it’s not just going to be just Dramione fics being taken down, but other ships and other fandoms as well. I’ve already seen one of my PJO fics I’ve bookmarked disappear.
This is not Dramione vs Theft. This is Fandom vs Theft. We need to nip this in the bud before it expands and rots the rest of our garden.
Like I’ve said, I may not ship Dramione, but I’m going on to Amazon, I’m going on to Etsy, and I’m reporting the “books” these assholes have published. You don’t have to be a fan to be a good person.

Wait what happened in the dramione fandom
In short:
Book bindings are fine. But selling bound fanfiction is both illegal and unethical. The sales of bound fics in the Dramione fandom have skyrocketed (grâce au Tiktok) within the last year or so. People have also been selling art prints attached to the fics against the explicit wishes of the authors and creators.
People have been adding Dramione fanfictions to Goodreads despite authors explicitly asking them not to do that.
A very popular booktube girlie made a whole video reading and reviewing a popular Dramione fic. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's just that stuff like that has unfortunately invited a lot of people who don't respect the de facto ethical codes of fandom into Dramione fanspaces.
A few days ago, about three of the biggest Dramione fic writers announced they would be pulling their Dramione fics from AO3 and other places. One of those fics is "Breath Mints / Battle Scars" by Onyx and Elm, which is a massive fic in the Dramione community. Other Dramione writers have followed. A shit ton of fics on AO3 have been deleted or hidden, and more are to follow.
Also, many of the fic authors have requested that their works not be reposted if they were saved before deletion. So a lot of good work is now either lost or inaccessible to many. There's a fic distribution black market on Reddit right now like I kid you not.
N.B. I believe we should respect the wishes of the authors and not repost their deleted works. It's unethical to go against the express wishes of creators like that. I don't blame many of the Dramione writers for pulling their works or for considering it. Newbies have been mistreating their fanfics and they just want to protect themselves legally.

Hear me out
If this ⬇️
Tumblr media
is how Tim looks at Lucy when she says yes to dinner with him, how the hell is he going to look when she tells him she loves him or, better yet, when she says yes to marrying him?
Someone help me because this was before they'd even gone out. Yes, they'd kissed a couple of times, but it was under the pretense of UC work. He beamed like the sun when she said yes to dinner. He's going to fucking explode when she tells him she loves him, so God help the inevitable solar flare when she says yes to marrying him
He's so in love with her and it makes me all warm and fuzzy

Rewatched Bridgerton season 2 and I'm thinking about the emphasis of "He asked you to call him by his given name?" being almost scandalous even for an engaged couple and the weight that adds to when Anthony calls Kate "Kathani" and remembering the weight of "call me Simon" in season 1 too
...and how Colin doesn't even call Penelope "Penelope", he calls her "Pen". An engaged couple called each other by their titles and Colin Bridgerton calls Penelope by a nickname
