au where jet doesn’t find out that zuko and iroh are fire nation and when he runs into the gaang he goes ‘oh by the way this is my new friend lee. we met on the ferry ride over here!’ and the gaang and zuko just like awkwardly stare at each other for a really long time
Any idea where can I get the full beyblade (original series) manga?
I don’t want to buy phisically, AND I know there’s a version of it in the internet archive i think? but that version has really bad quality. Any suggestions?
Also, anyone know where can I read rising?
thanks for the help!
(Yes, this is a response to a post going around how maybe it’s okay if adults are in fandom as long as they understand that fandom is for ickle kiddie-boos and walk on eggshells. Um, no. Back in my day, we kicked y’all off our yahoogroups so we could post adult material, and rigorously didn’t post adult material if the list allowed you.)
So, back in the day, several of the authors of an LJ community that posted NSFW fic met up and had a group photo, which they posted. Apparently, some of the 18 year olds said, “Ewwwwwww! They’re all, like, oooooollllld!”
There’s actually a good reason for that.
Writing is part being good with words and part being good at turning your life experiences into something that other people want to read. Remember my previous rant about how you can’t assume a mystery writer is a homicidal maniac, and you can’t assume that a reader who likes a character has the same personal flaws as that character? There’s a reason people assume these things about authors.
See, if you’ve never fallen in love, you might think romance is when the other person brings you a dozen roses and a box of chocolates. And that’s fine! That’s romantic, too! But if you have fallen in love, you might remember the time that you woke up and went to go to class and found a bunch of wildflowers and a plastic ring from a bubblegum machine tucked under your windshield wiper. And you might remember the half touched, half about to burst out laughing expression on your sweetie’s face when you showed up to class wearing that tacky plastic ring. You might think that love is thinking the other person is the best-looking person in the world, or that love is wanting to spend your life with someone else. That’s love, too! Well, at least the second one is (the first is probably just infatuation). But if you’ve been in love before you’ll know that love is also hurting all over because your sweetie’s abusive parent died and they’re unexpectedly destroyed over it. The latter is worth a million flowery declarations.
Now, I’m not saying that no one under 30 can write. Some young people have had very full lives. And some young people have a natural talent for extrapolating from their own feelings. Virgins can write convincingly about sex, even. But the more life experience you have, the easier it is to extrapolate, and the easier it is to come up with the specific details that make things feel real and true.
If you want to become a better writer, the best things you can do are write a lot, share what you write, and live a full life. And remember, before you say adults should be banished from fandom: your favorite author is probably over 30.
I’m listening to old classical music you know the kinda that always sounds like ballroom music, and I thought (even tho I didn’t really illustrate in these doodles) that capes could be all flowly and cool like ballroom dresses. That and I’ve been daydreaming 82 different ways the justice league finds out that Clark and Burce have been married for years and they never knew until something happens.
Becuase damn I love that trope
Like their on a mission and for whatever reason they need to do a couples dance-off and no one knows how to do couples dancing and from the back, Batman and Sups just stroll up and take the position and own that ballroom. Because when they got married ten years ago Clark wanted to be all traditional and have the first dance and Burce being a perfectionist made them go a world-class 10 time winner dancer and train for months just so they could have the best first dance.
Y nadie me saca de la cabeza que la única razón por la que muchos fans se quedaron más allá de la temporada 3-4 fue porque neta creían que el KeithxShiro sería canon.
Como alguien que le el personaje de Keith se le hacía super deshabrido, odie la serie cuando mandaron todos a la chingada por él.
Así que sí, yo si estuve bien feliz cuando les toco el final culero. En especial por que todas las fans fueron unas culeras. Aunque quiera repartir culpas.
