Hello >:)

Write Your Story

I just showed my 11-year-old son how many coffee shop AUs there are on AO3.

Why?

He sat down the other day to write a Minecraft story about three kids who go through a portal in their back yard and end up in the world of Minecraft where they have to battle all the big bosses (I didn’t even realize there WERE big bosses in Minecraft but that’s beside the point). He wrote three chapters with a little input from me – his first beta – and y'all?

He was fucking excited. To be writing a story.

Today he came home from school and seemed a little down, so I asked him about it only to find out that some little asshole at his school told him, “There is already a Minecraft story.”

Me: Okay? So what?

Lucifer: If there’s already a story, no one will read mine.

Immediately, I dragged him in and pulled up my AO3 account. My boys know I write fanfiction, so I showed him my account and how many subscribers I have. Then I showed him how many Teen Wolf stories there are. And then, because it seemed like the perfect analogy, I said, “What if I wrote a story where two characters meet in a coffee shop and fall in love? No werewolves, nothing at all to do with the actual Teen Wolf universe. Just Stiles and Derek meet in a coffeeshop and fall in love.”

He laughed.

I showed him Mornings Aren’t For Everyone. Showed him how many hits it had, how many kudos, how many lovely comments.

Then I said, “So do you think, if anyone else wrote a story about those exact same characters meeting in a coffee shop and falling in love… would anyone read it?”

He laughed and said, “No because you already did.”

So I clicked on the Sterek tag and refined to coffee shop AU. His mind was blown to see that they ALL had thousands of hits and kudos and comments. Then I clicked on JUST the coffee shop AU tag and showed him all the fics across all the fandoms written by countless different people.

I’m going to tell you all now what I told him because it applies to everyone.

Write your story. It doesn’t matter that someone else has written a story about that subject. They didn’t write YOUR story. Only you can do that.

And I want to read your story.

Tis September 1st

*September 1st on Tumblr*

Captain Marvel in the middle of a big fight with the League against some aliens or something: I CAST FIREBALL!!!

*explosion 💥 💥💥💥💥*

Ah Yes. Magic.

A lot of the JL forget that Marvel has magic, so when he uses it, most of the time they’re surprised. It doesn’t make it better that he normally uses it ridiculously (and somewhat terrifyingly).

Villain: “Muahahaha! You’ll never stop me, Cheese!”

Marvel: “Abracadabra!” *turns him into a chicken*

Villain: *clucks in confusion*

Marvel: “Looks like I’ve got dinner! Junior and Mary will love this!”

Tourist: “What?! Captain, you can’t eat that man?!”

or

Two-Face: “I didn’t expect to run into you of all people, Captain Marvel. What’re you doing in Gotham-”

Marvel: “Hocus Pocus!”

Two-Face and Harvey: *split into both Two-Face and Harvey*

*silence*

Two-Face and Harvey: *staring at each other in surprise*

Marvel: “Why’d you guys stop talking?”

Harvey: *frantically feeling his own face to see if one side is still burnt*

The two both went through a small mental breakdown before Batman came out of nowhere, beat them both up and took them to Arkham.

or

Civilians: *falling after a villain pushed them all off* “AHHHHH-”

Marvel: “Alakazam!” *turns the ground underneath them into rubber, so they all bounce*

Civilians: “Thank you, Captain Marvel!”

By the way, this pisses off a lot of magic users, but not for the reason you’d think.

Zatanna: “He’s not even saying proper incantations!

Random Hero: Those aren’t magical?

Zatanna: “Wha- NO! Abracadabra is not a magical word. Neither is hocus-pocus or Alakazam!”

Bringing up this topic can cause many different magic users to go on rants about this specific thing.

Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed

everyone please read this and share if you can.

Brazil is going through one of the worst climatic crisis ever seen.

i live in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul. we have been suffering from extreme, nonstop rainstorms for a week now. the rivers are flooding, reaching 4-6 meters above their natural level. people are being rescued by helicopters, neighborhoods are being evacuated. entire cities are slowly but surely becoming submerged in water. 60 people missing and counting. 32 deaths and counting.

and this is not new. last november also had a flood like this one. 50 dead, many material losses. it happened again this january, with thousands being left without power or water for days.

three catastrophical disasters within less than a year. three disasters only a few months apart.

this is not natural.

unsustainable agricultural practices and politics led to this. a complete disregard for nature led to this. greed led to this. always greed.

when it comes to the climate crisis, i cannot stress this enough: we need to act now if we still want to live. disasters like this are going to happen more often and they're going to be much, much worse. this flood is being considered the worst climatic catastrophe in the history of my state. i don't know how long it will take for another bigger one to happen and take its place. i just know it will be sooner than it should.
