Some of y’all don’t want fandom to be fun at all you want it to be like some kind of gd AP Lit class where all we do is have pointed debates over the most Correct interpretation of media like NO get fucked I will project onto my favorite character and write whatever shitty nonsense fic for whatever illogical pairing I want die mad about it
I didn’t take AP lit irl, sure as fuck ain’t gonna take AP lit: fanfic edition. Fuck that.
lily, for the longest time, dreamt of a fairy tale prince taking her away from all of her issues
of course, as she grows up, she realizes she actually Dreams of princes and princesses alike
everytime she gets attached to someone, she has to ask herself if she’s feeling romantically attracted to this person
she’s romance craved, leading her to enter relationships with no second thoughts (with not always the best results)
she’s terribly oblivious when it comes to love : “what do you mean they aren’t in love? they’re together!“ and “but why do you think remus and sirius are in love?” “honey they’re holding hands” “they could be holding hands as friends!”
she’s always upset when the line between romance and friendship isn’t made explicitely clear. the fact that everyone else seems to be able to see it pisses her off even more
when she finds out about the aromantic Spectrum, she doesn’t want to admit to herself that it’s her
she’s too terrified of never getting her perfect love story
but she can only lie to herself for so long, and one night she breaks down and cry and tell her friends that she’s aro-spec and that she’ll never have anyone with her
as more and more of her friends get paired off, she starts to fear that she will end up alone
that she will always be that distant friend that people call only to complain about their s.o when they fight, and that you ignore the rest of the time
and it also means that she won’t be able to have children, and that is unbearable to her
she feels more terrible than ever before
until
she talks to james, who she learns is asexual
they talk for hours about societal expectations and feeling like a secondary character in everyone else’s love story
and their friendship starts to evolve into something more, something different
because finally, lily feels understood
(sorryyyy the ending is shitty but i had no inspiration, i might come back to it later)
one of my favourite things about fanfiction is I can almost always find some way to contact the author, the actual human being who sat down and wrote this collection of words that I love so much and scream at them
and usually they scream back and it’s a wonderful exchange of happy
you just can’t do that with published authors. You can scream, but you’re screaming into a Lovecraftian void and they almost never have the chance to scream back
I love fanfic authors so much. thanks for letting me scream at you about things we mutually love
I like being screamed at. And I’ll always scream right back.
I live for the people who scream at me. I would die for them.
people who scream at me are my favorite.
Screaming makes me write faster.
THANK YOU ALL FOR SCREAMING AT ME I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH
Feel free to do this with me,I love hearing from you all
Screaming is the best!!!!
Don’t forget the writers who scream at their own work
Fuck JKR
