The problem with shipping a niche ship: you read all the fanfiction in one afternoon and if you want some more you have to write it yourself.

The problem with shipping a popular ship: 16,835 results on AO3. You start playing with tags and sorting through it, full of determination, confident that with so many fanfics you’re bound to find something you’ll like. Two hours, 30 instances of awful writing, 8 squick-outs,13 wtf AUs and 157 just plain uninteresting later you have to rush back to the canon to even remember why you liked the ship in the first place.

The problem with a popular ship: there are 6,285 fics similar to yours and you can’t help but compare your writing with others

The problem with writing a niche ship: you write only for yourself + your best friend who’s either your enabler or just feels sorry for you

zuko in the last couple episodes of season 2 is basically like when u wake up one day and you’re like “you know what!!!!!! i’m getting my life under control!!!!! i’m doing my laundry! i’m hydrating!!!!!! depression who????” and then like 3 hours later ur back to being a piece of shit

HEALING IS NOT LINEAR GAYMILES

I KNOW YOU’RE PROBABLY MOSTLY DEFENDING THE HONOR OF A BELOVED FICTIONAL CHARACTER BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY VERY AFFIRMING THANK YOU

harry potter, surprising literally everyone, retires from being an auror to make ceramics in a cottage in the hills. “i don’t know,” the boy who lived said in a statement. “becoming a potter just seemed right, you know?”

I’ve been on this site for how long and I am in shock it took this long for a potter joke

Mr Darcy, probably: Do you know who I think is the ugliest girl in Longbourn? That Elizabeth Bennet. You know what I’d give her on a scale of one to ten, with one as the ugliest and ten as the prettiest? I’d give her an 8… 8.5… or a 9… but not… NOT over a 9.8. Because there is always room for improvement. Not everyone is perfect, like me. I’m holding out for a 10. Because I’m worth it.

So, woody’s roundup was really great, but people started to just grab ANY deactivated URL- which was no bueno. It was only intended to target bad people, and taking innocent people’s URL’s was just…wrong. So the Woodysroundup blog deactivated, and now the actual original woodys (the ones with the bad people’s blogs) have started to change to that spongebob icon and the title “orgasm” on their blog.

Also, there’s a real gross person behind the Stinky Pete retaliation, and all the stinky pete icons you might see are people that are your typical “i love my waifu and 800 guns” people who just arent good.

this sucks but i’m also astonished that we as a website have come to this point
