Something I think is neat and really cute about fanfic is that there’s a personal version of each character in it? Like, each writer focuses on different traits and qualities and even though there can be a hundred fics with the same character, they’re really not exactly the same.
So even if you and I are writing a fic with the same characters, they can still be uniquely different despite having the same core and they’re each dear to us personally as our take on the person.
I don’t know, I just think it’s cute that each writer cherishes these characters in personal and unique ways.
whoever designs for star trek timelines is really horny for trip tucker
while most standard models show the character as they usually appear in uniform, standard trip is him with his suit half unzipped, muscular arms and face tantalizingly streaked with dirt. the next trip is him down to his undies. and the next one after that is him in the Empowered Female Characterβ’

you know when u have to misgender a friend in front of ur parents and you can like physically taste copper
people who are saying “then don’t misgender them!!” are missing the sad reality of this post. they don’t realize that 99% of the time, when someone must misgender their friend to others, it is because the friend (aka the misgendered friend) has explicitly asked them to do so. especially to parents because people talk, word gets around. if they don’t want anyone to know, then you have to respect that.
