What you’ll need:

·A coin
·Clear glue
·A cheesy fanfic extract
·A pendant ring (from crafts sotres)

1. Take a paragraph from your favorite fanfic or book and print it or photocopy it. Make sure your printer is not in “Draft” mode.

2. Clean the coin completely and place it just where you want it to be, over what you want to have in the pendant.

3. Cut roughly around that specific spot. Cover the coin with glue and paste it behind the text, using the light against it to guide you.
*If your paper isn’t thick enough, you may want to paste a blank piece of paper underneath your text as a base.

4. Cut out the surplus.

5. Put just a little bit glue over the text, spread it outwars and let it dry.

6. Add a thick, thick layer of glue. This will act as the acrylic that will protect your pendant once it’s completely dry. I suggest you to let it dry overnight.
If you want to, you can add a second layer once the first one is dry. This will make it look more… real.

Finally, paste the pendant ring on the back of the coin.

Warnings:

·Try avoiding smut. You don’t want to walk around with the word “pounding” hanging from your neck, do you?
·If anyone asks about it, try not to panic and hide it underneath your shirt.
·Be prepared for  fangirling outbrusts. Just thinking that you have your OTP in your necklace may give you feels.

I’m doing this. I am doing this and it will be magnificent. 

lol, lol, I want to do this!

2,3,4 please? XD

2) a writer that inspires you:
Well, on the fandom side of things, there are almost too many to name. The ones that some most immediately to mind are heartslogos, Meyari, mgnemesi,and myadamantiumheart. That said, I could literally spend all day talking about all the of amazing authors in fandom, (yourself, for one, the home-alone!verse constantly sends me into paroxysms of joy, snowzapped and the Stuck!verse, thelittlestcrane’s *everything*, kidquips lovely, lovely stories - both the yummy smut and the cavity-inducing fluff - and yup, this is the problem with starting a list like this, then I just want to go through everyone and squeal about how much i love them) and how incredible of a phenomenon fandom and fanfiction is.
On the non-fandom side of things, probably…Tamora Peirce, actually. Her books are technically young adult, but they are so good, and the messages they impart are very universal. She has strong female characters, incorporation of different races within her world, and complex story-lines without an overabundance of intricacy. Interesting, complex stories that are followable for young adult, and still enjoyable at any age.
Oh, and we can put Meyari over here too now! I haven’t had a chance to pick up any of her published works yet, but I want to so badly. I absolutely adore her fanworks, I’m certain I will love her original stuff as well. Someday soon I will have both the time and the money!

3) A weakness in your writing?
Uhg. A severe lack of confidence?
Honestly, I have absolutely no confidence in my writing, most days. It’s been really bad lately, which is why - in addition to closing out the semester and having no time - I haven’t been posting much of anything recently. I don’t think I get the characterization, pacing, plot, or much of anything right.This becomes a weakness, because the only way to improve is to do, but it’s hard to gather the motivation when it feels like everything that comes out is crap.
Oh better days, I would say the greatest weaknesses in my writing lie in both my complete inability to plan something out start -to-finish, and my desire to write out every little detail. Sometime less is more, but I get such vivid images in my head and want to relay them exactly, but that ends up making the writing feel bogged-down and stilted. Or at least so it feels to me.

4) a strength?
haha, didn’t we just cover this? ugh. Um, If i had to come up with something…I at least try really hard to make my characters multidimensional? To not fall into stereotypes.
And on the fandom side of things, I’m making a concerted effort to go back and read the source material to get a better understanding of the characters (though that’s hard, since so many of them have been written by so many different authors over the course of their history.)

CHRIST

ALMIGHTY

Jesus titty fucking CHRIST.

1.
I say, ‘I am fat.’
He says ‘No, you are beautiful.’
I wonder why I cannot be both.
He kisses me
hard.

2.
My college theater professor once told me
that despite my talent,
I would never be cast as a romantic lead.
We do plays that involve singing animals
and children with the ability to fly,
but apparently no one
has enough willing suspension of disbelief
to go with anyone loving a fat girl.
I daydream regularly
about fucking my boyfriend vigorously on his front lawn.

3.
On the mornings I do not feel pretty,
while he is still asleep,
I sit on the floor and check the pockets of his skinny jeans for motive,
for a punchline,
for other girls’ phone numbers.

4.
When we hold hands in public,
I wonder if he notices the looks —
like he is handling a parade balloon on a crowded sidewalk;
if he notices that my hands are now made of rope.

5.
Dear Cosmo: Fuck you.
I will not take sex tips from you
on how to please a man you think I do not deserve.

6.
He tells me he loves me with the lights on.

7.
I can cup his hip bone in my hand,
feel his ribs without pressing very hard at all.
He does not believe me when I tell him he is beautiful.
Sometimes I fear the day he does will be the day he leaves.

8.
The cute hipster girl at the coffee shop
assumes we are just friends
and flirts over the counter.
I spend the next two weeks
mentally replacing myself with her
in all of our photographs.
When I admit this to him
we spend the evening taking new photos together.
He will not let me delete a single one of them.

9.
The phrase “Big girls need love too” can die in a fire.
Fucking me does not require an asterisk.
Loving me is not a fetish.
Finding me beautiful is not a novelty.
I am not a fucking novelty.

10.
I say, ‘I am fat.’
He says, ‘No. You are so much more’,
and kisses me
hard.

i love you and i like you: enterprisingly: here is when liking something problematic (tv show,...

idyllspace:

enterprisingly:

here is when liking something problematic (tv show, movie, book, real person, ship, etc) is a problem:

  • when the person who likes said thing is unaware it is problematic
  • when the person who likes said thing is aware it is problematic, and:
  • makes excuses for its shitty views/problematic things
  • completely disregards what is wrong with it
  • dismisses legitimate criticism from offended groups with “you’re taking this too seriously’ or any other flippant argument
  • tries to justify why the problematic things occur (ie, “there were no people of colour in europe in such and such time!” or “well this person did a lot of good, so it doesn’t matter that they held this problematic and destructive view!”)
  • etc

here is when liking something problematic is not a problem:

  • when the person who likes said thing is aware, knowledgeable, and accepts the fact that the thing is problematic
  • when the person agrees with legitimate criticism, does not make excuses for the problematic aspects, and does not view them apologetically
  • when the person makes those criticisms themselves
  • when there is no justification for why the problematic aspects occur, but rather acceptance and trying to recover what is still positive/what can still happen in order to make up for the problematic thing
  • when a person likes other aspects of the thing, but not the problematic material


you can like something problematic without perpetuating or supporting what is wrong with it; furthermore, virtually EVERYTHING has a problematic element to it

Indeed, the idea of ‘winning the girl’ – of overcoming female objections or resistance through repeated and frequently escalating efforts – is central to most of our modern romantic narratives. (Female persistence, by contrast, is viewed as pathetic.) And the more I think about instances of creepiness, harassment and stalking that culminate in either the threat or actuality of sexual assault, the more I’m convinced that a massive part of the problem is this socially sanctioned idea that men are fundamentally entitled to persist. Because if men are meant to persist, then women who say no must only be rejecting the attempt, not the man himself, so that every separate attempt becomes one of a potentially infinite number of keys which might just fit the lock of the woman’s approval. She’s not the one who’s allowed to say no, not really; she should be silent and passive as a locked door, waiting patiently while the man runs through however many keys he can be bothered trying. And if he gets sick of this lengthy process and just breaks in? Well, frustration under those circumstances is only natural. Either the door shouldn’t have been there to impede him, or it shouldn’t have been locked.
