last night the director of my guild at my renn faire passed away, she was very important to me and i loved her very much so if y’all could send me your favorite fluffy fics that would be swell bc i’m about halfway through my reserves of saccharine sweet fanfiction and it’s only been a day

the-knights-who-say-book:

do characters in modern fairytale retellings know their life is a retelling? bc they act like they don’t even notice. i’ve never read a retelling where the main character is like “huh… wait a minute… my name is ELLA and i have TWO STEPSISTERS who are SUPER MEAN and i’m about to go to  BALL…. this is ringing a bell”

like, i want a retelling where the mc realizes what’s going on and is like “oh shit i am NOT having this” and then like, uses their knowledge to their advantage? like they realize that if their life is a cinderella retelling then their step siblings are probably going to destroy the beautiful dress they painstakingly sewed, and they should probably make sure the dress is safely protected at a friend’s house

OH. or a retelling where even though they do this, the retelling insists on happening anyway?? they save the dress, but then their step siblings tear up the painting they’ve been working on instead. they wear boots that can’t fall off to the dance, but somehow they lose one big dangle earring as they run away. the Retelling will Not Be Stopped, Ella-who-insists-on-going-by-their-middle-name-but-no-one-listens-to-them, the Retelling Must Have Its Sacrifice

okay will someone please tell a superhero one of these days

that killing a mass murderer is not, actually, lowering yourself to their level, but rather, preventing them from murdering more innocent people.

yup yup YUP YUP YUP YES YES???

AND ALSO TELL THEIR LOVE INTERESTS because sometimes THEY’RE the ones who are like “STAHP”

Can we also throw in these:

1. Not telling loved ones about bad guys with grudges does not protect them. It actually puts them at greater risk.

2. Leaving someone you care about alone “because they’re your weak spot” also does not protect them. It does make it likely that they won’t be able to ask you for help, though, if someone does come after them.

you all added on very good points and I honestly couldn’t agree more
