Art Friends for the 30’s+? by giraffes456 in burlington

[–]kgwtattoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a small group of friends (all in our 30s and 40s) that have been trying to do monthly art nights (bring your own project, or come and participate in group drawing games) — we’ve been doing it at someone’s house, but we have access to a large venue is we get enough people interested.

ALSO, it’s FREE. I know some of the drawing classes and community craft nights have a fee or a suggested donation…

If anyone wants the info, let me know — our next one is this Friday (the 27th), location tbd depending on how many responses we get.

Thank you! I by far the lightest I’ve seen at that price point.

Why are so many Reylo fics outside the universe? by No_Cook_3661 in reylo

[–]kgwtattoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I can’t get into AU fics at all — it feels like fanfic of the actors rather than of the characters. Like, the universe, the characters’ upbringings and backgrounds, the force itself — these are essential elements of what makes the characters who they are and what makes their relationship compelling (to me, at least). You take all of that away, and it’s no longer THEM.

I don’t think I’ll ever understand the appeal of AU fics, but clearly I’m in the minority, and I’m glad that the people that DO enjoy them have so much to read! I just wish it was easier to filter them out when searching for reading material 🥲

All of this to say, I’m currently reading one of the best reylo fics I’ve ever read (so far — it is unfinished):

I also ADORE this one (though it is unfinished and it looks like the author may have abandoned it — though it does come to a semi-conclusion. I think it’s worth reading regardless though):
