a few weeks back i looked up the source of “we deserve a soft epilogue, my love” because it’s such a lovely, evocative line and i wanted to know the name of the poet who wrote it and it was. from captain america fanfiction.
“in whatever manner it comes to be, love is never wrong, especially between one who has so much of it to give, and one so desperately in need of it” is from a naruto fanfic we’re living in a web of lies
gosh it’s almost like fanfiction writers devote endless hours to their craft with zero chance at a profit, because we love what we do and we love our characters and canons even if you think it’s “””cringey”””
it’s almost like with all the time and effort we devote to our craft we get, I dunno, pretty good at it sometimes
it’s almost like fanfiction is a legitimate art form that provokes emotional reactions, and fanfiction writers are artists who work hard to create the best possible art they can, driven by passion and love
Black Sails season 3 au where Rogers dies of the grippe and after briefly mourning Eleanor comes to her senses and realizes “he was a shit” as Vane said, as so many men in her life have been. All except for Flint, so she joins him and the resistance and helps bring in the maroons, thereby meeting Madi and forming a sisterly bond. Together all of them are unstoppable. ❤
me at 14: wow, protagonists in media my age! how relateable!
me at 28: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHILD SOLDIERS? WHERE ARE ALL THE ADULTS? WHO LET THIS HAPPEN AND WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING PROSECUTED BY LAW WITHIN THESE FICTIONAL UNIVERSES
