I highly appreciate the “happy ending” tag on angst fics, dark fics, etc. Its existence increases the probability of me reading by a significant amount

but some people are like “why even read those fics if you already know how they’re gonna end?”

Well, it’s kinda like going on a roller-coaster. I wanna experience the ride. The ups and the downs, the twists and turns. But I also wanna know that at the end, it’ll come to a safe stop and I’ll be able to get off of it completely unharmed

I think people keep forgetting one of the points to fanfics is to write things that wouldn’t happen in canon. So whenever I hear people complaining about fics not being canon compliant, I’m like ‘yeah, and?’ I mean 'fix-it fics’ exist solely to fix what the writer might have disliked about canon. Writing a fic like that to me is healthier than just complaining about the source media. Don’t like a character’s lonely life? Boom, found family. Lack of resolution? Boom, closure fic.

Are there annoying fanon tropes? Absolutely (looking at you Leon can’t drive trope) But as annoyed as I might be with it, or any other trope, I don’t want to squash others just because it’s not canon. Like it could be a crack fic, and I might even find it funny. And whenever I see a fic veering off canon, I just assume 'AU’ or 'Canon-divergent’ and go on with my day.

Fanfics where never meant to further canon, but to see and enjoy what canon would never ever do.

best thing about tumblr is seeing pictures of Weird Creatures I’d never heard of before

Tufted Pigmy Squirrel. I learned of it recently and was immediately delighted

Oh my goodness!! I’d never heard of it either, and am also delighted!

I think the only person I’ve met in real life with 100% career satisfaction was this gal I knew who was a presenter at a children’s science museum and delivered every line like she was running a WWE match. Every time you passed the room where she was giving a presentation, you’d hear something like “WHO’S READY FOR CEPHALOPODS?!?” and the kids would go absolutely nuts cheering.
