All are at least 10 years younger than we see them in Canon. They're naked, all cuddled together under a black blanket. Anne and Mary are looking towards each other, looking smug. Jack looks at the camera with a hand behind his head. Ed hugs the blanket to his chest, looking to the side with his hair fanned around him.

that’s okay i meant to cry anyway
But this is to misunderstand the purpose of fan fiction. Fan fiction starts with the itch of dissatisfaction, it is the art of emotional correction. When what is canon fails to deliver, the fan fiction writers step in, armed with Word documents and righteous indignation. You think this character deserved more hand-holding? Fine. Someone out there is writing 10,000 words of forehead kisses and mutual healing right now. Because fan fiction isn't just rewriting, it's repairing. It's giving yourself the closure you need when the author won't. It's deciding that pain can end differently, that love can be louder, that characters who were doomed in print get to live this time. It's literature written by people who refused to move on and sometimes these people spell really badly (and that is completely OK). And yes, it's rebellion. Against gatekeeping, against prestige, against the assumption that stories only count when they make money. Fan fiction exists because readers loved something so much they refused to let it die.

Drinking tea from my teath mug
A handmade ceramic mug that has human teeth all along the mouth of the mug. They are very realistic molars and incisors and are a bit unsettling in a body horror way. There is tea in the mug, with the tea bag string flossed through two molars.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Cartoon fanart of Oluwande and Jim from OFMD sitting on the steps of a middle school. They are both kids wearing 90's clothes, and both have a backpack beside them. Jim has peeled an orange, and hands Oluwande a slice, which he accepts with a smile as he plays a gameboy colour. Additional details: Oluwande wears an orange ball cap, a teal pokemon shirt with pikachu on it, red shorts, and black crocs. Jim wears an orange animorphs shirt, denim shorts, and red hightops. They have a green bandaid on their knee. Olu has a teal gameboy colour, while Jim's - which sits beside them - is orange. Jim's backpack is a brown rucksack, while Oluwande's is shiny green with blue pockets. The school steps are plain, but have some chalk drawings on them.

It's Garlic Soup Sunday!!

Today the polycule are having a Nailed It! style baking competition. Archie insisted they do dick cakes. Olu's is very artistic and slightly abstract, Jim's is Too Detailed and a little structurally unsound, Zheng's is the tastiest by far, and Archie's has a smiley face.

Wow, hi new followers, hey! We’re Queer Liberation Library.

QLL is a digital library of queer ebooks & audiobooks available FOR FREE to anyone in the US. Our collection’s in Libby so you can read to your heart's content on your e-reader, phone, etc.

membership details downthread~
A scrapbooky, zine-like image. In the top left corner there’s a picture of a young kid in rainbow face paint waving a rainbow flag atop a woman's shoulders, as they both watch a pride parade. A photo of a group of people, young and old, carrying a pink LESBIAN & GAY PRIDE banner is seen in the bottom center. Top right, a picture of two gorgeous drag queens: one in a light pink wig and white dress decked in butterflies, and the other literally dressed as Lady Liberty in a rainbow toga. Text throughout, in mismatched fonts and on torn paper, reads "Q: So, what is QLL? a: Queer Liberation Library is an ONLINE DIGITAL LIBRARY …that is by and for the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies, focusing on queer materials and queer perspectives.”
