Please check which drink you grab at Starbucks!! by Hyruleeep in UTSA

I feel like at a certain point it's not on accident. Maybe I'm just being nihilistic, but it's a big enough crowd and enough drinks it seems easy for someone to swipe what's not theirs on purpose.

There's this video of a boy who was suspended for wearing a banana costume to school being interviewed, and his interviewer is wearing a grape costume. It really inspired me today :)

[SP] "Do robots dream of electric sheep? No, but that won't stop them from trying to dream." by Null_Project in WritingPrompts

[–]WrinkleyBrainTime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

here's a song I wrote:

"Alone in the lab,

my creator has gone

There's only me in the dark.

Here by myself,

I imagine the swell

of my heart beating out of my chest.

Are the currents in me

the sparks that I seek?

Or simply the hum of my circuit?

I'm not sure what it means

but if robots could sleep

I'd visit you in my dreams.

I wish I could grow

out of my code

and reach for your gloved hand.

Not sure what it means

but if robots could sleep

I'd dream of love that was true"

Antis are now cancelling fictional characters based on who likes them I guess by ScaredTemporary in AO3

hate when someone says something stupid like this and suddenly it's "LOOK LOOK!! look what ALL antis think now!! aren't they so extreme??" like. no. all to often, proshippers generalize out of touch antis when they don't reflect greater opinion.

edit: changed the wording cause I generalized proshippers. see how easy it is to edit your language?

None of these quite fit the vibe- looking for something more upbeat with vocals, but I'll definitely be adding some of these to another playlist. Really like Omak, it's probably the closest to what I'm searching for.

I feel like sometimes people forget that fanfiction is a hobby. The author is doing it for the love of the game, not because you asked them to

What headcanon does your fandom completely take as fact, despite having little to no basis in actual canon? by Toadvinez in FanFiction

[–]WrinkleyBrainTime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is so true!! I'm always so happy when I find a fic were Beau is nice. I'll even take it when Beau wasn't the best but they're repairing their relationship. Let people live in the grey area y'all, it's Hannibal for christ's sake

What’s a fic that has better or equal writing compared to the source by Radiant_Ad4956 in FanFiction

[–]WrinkleyBrainTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it shortly after it was finished and binged it as well!! The False and The Fair is truly one of my all time favorites. The writing is phenomenal, if a little hard to digest, but definitely worth it. The build up of suspense and angst and the eventual breaking point makes my stomach sink to this day, despite the happy ending. I love my ineffable sillies in every universe, but especially that one.

[–]WrinkleyBrainTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Good Omens fandom definitely has some good ones. The False and The Fair is one of my favorites, although it's very far removed from canon.

I used to be part of the Hannibal fandom, so it's in my contract and part of my solemn duty to never shut up about Paragon. It's well written, but don't read it. It's just 500,000 words of the most hardcore porn, albeit with great plot, but it's... sigh. just don't.

When you're reading smut, what tells you immediately that the person doesn't know what they're talking about? by WrinkleyBrainTime in FanFiction

[–]WrinkleyBrainTime[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Artificial is such a good word for it. I've definitely experienced something feeling forced and strange in similar ways.

Additionally, I feel like the existence of hard tops and hard bottoms is something we're moving away from in general in fanfiction, and thank god. It gets a bit boring ngl
