A/N: I’m playing around with different endings. You may see multiple versions of a series finale from me. If we can have multiple earths, I suppose we can have multiple endings! Inspiration: Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez.
People say “people are dying in car accidents and we don’t ban cars!” Yes, but you know what we do do? We ban dangerous cars… to get a car, you need a licence, you need to go through a process. Because we want to minimise the chance of a person dying in a car. We try.
There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you - and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.
To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.
The real irony is there is plenty of fanfiction that goes through more rigorous editing than some published fiction. So the difference in quality between fanfiction and “professional writing” is totally arbitrary and made up. Except that some things that are more expensive are worse.
Same thing with reading fanfics; Ive been told “Well thats not reaL reading”
:/
Shout out to fanfic writers, whether you write 1000 or 500,000 words, just started out or have written 123 fics, know that your contribution to the fandom is fucking appreciated 😤❗️💖
not to be That Guy but nobody cried this much when brazils national museum burned down in september, just goes to show how much people favor white history!!!
to be fair, i didn’t hear squat about this. i would have been just as unhappy about that event as this
and theres a reason you didnt hear squat about it!
because people favor white history!
notre dame got immediate coverage and attention, even though notre dame will be okay. even though the art has been saved and spared, even though it has happened before and will happen again
when the national museum of brazil burned in september, there was hardly any coverage. even though the majority of what had taken hundreds of years to collect had burned. even though the national museum of brazil was home to art from pompeii and egypt as well.
am i saying that what has been burned and demolished at notre dame isnt devastating? no. absolutely not.
but its real fucking telling what people care about when MULTIPLE people now have responded saying they hadnt even HEARD of brazils national museum burning lol
Y'all… The Museu Nacional (National Museum) held the largest collection in LATIN AMERICA.
The fire destroyed over 20 million relics. You read that right. 20 MILLION. Dinosaur fossils, mummies, and indigenous artefacts. More than 90% of the items the museum held were destroyed.
Notre Dame can still be repaired. It was already renovated 2 centuries ago. Notre Dame can be rebuilt. The historical items the Museu Nacional held CANNOT be replaced. The museum was absolutely DESTROYED.
The Declaration of Independence of my country was signed at this very museum. Throughout the fire, museum employees ran inside to rescue as many items as they could.
A lot of Latin America’s history fully VANISHED in this fire. This was a huge hit for us. Y'all care so much about white history and are freaking out over Notre Dame, when an event that destroyed much more history got no attention whatsoever from the international community.
I rest my case.
I’m furious. Furious over the fact that I didn’t even hear about it. In fact I haven’t even heard of this museum in school or around the internet. It sounds so precious and even though the notre dame was very devastating and sad, MILLIONS of pieces of history was destroyed in this museum but not a peep about it on the news?!?!? That’s really just wack. Kids can you say colonizers.
You know what’s also horrible? This fire destroyed whole LANGUAGES. There were records of extinct indigenous languages inside this museum, and they were destroyed. This fire caused God knows how many languages to be completely lost to time.
Unfortunately, the native peoples who spoke these languages were mostly killed, meaning that when records of their languages were destroyed, their entire CULTURES were gone. Imagine that.
Not to mention the dinosaur fossils that were destroyed. The native American mummies.
The fact that so little people outside of Brazil ever heard of this fire blows my mind.
I heard about it, and now I’m depressed about it all over again.
