If I ever become an English teacher, I'm going to start one class by asking, "Who has never read or written a fanfic and is proud of that?" And then after a few people raise their hands, I'm going to say, "After today, that will change." Then I will give them an assignment of writing fanfic and posting it on AO3. Whoever gets the most kudos gets extra credit.
May I also BEG for more germophobic characters? Only once have I ever read a well-written germophobic character, and I want more. But beware, if you choose to write one, it's very difficult. Even being germophobic myself, I had a hard time writing a realistic one who isn't cringy.
Only puts in one earbud (whether because the other one is ALWAYS broken or because they want to be able to listen to music and everything around)
Never has acne, but has enough other skin problems to make up for it
Allergic to mint, which causes rashes on their face (I have this and it sucks)
Always turns their screen brightness and volume down as low as they can (or direct opposite)
Always wears certain jewelry (rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, toe rings)
Never listens to "normal" music. Only musicals. Or not music at all. Only podcasts
Can't read because they always have a song stuck in their head
They go through insane phases of hyper fixations where they constantly make references to something but never go on tangents
Never cleans their glasses (or direct opposite; always cleans them)
Tries to dress nice but has no fashion sense
One last thing. Giving your most likable character glasses isn't a bad idea because some people (cough, cough, me) hate their glasses until a character they like wears glasses, then they love their glasses. It can really make an impact! Just an idea. (That sentence made no sense, sorry)
I know I've said this before, but I really nEED TO STOP WRITING SAD BOOKS AND LISTENING TO FALSETTOS BECAUSE I'M GOING TO CRY BUT MY FAMILY IS IN THE SAME ROOM AND I CAN'T CRY
Can we please normalize calling fanboys (fangirls who are guys) "conjunctions"? Allow me to explain.
Remember how we always call conjunctions "fanboys" because--
For
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So
--so we should call them conjunctions.
Seeing as Victor Hugo knows so much about the Paris sewer system, could you say he's a connoisewer?
[This is the most cringy thing I've ever said]
I'm going to make a fanfic of Cask of the Amontillado and give it to my English teacher as an end-of-the-year gift. Any suggestions? Now, I need to actually go write it instead of scrolling.
Any other Lost fans out there who ship Sawyer and Sayid? I'm rewatching Lost, and there's no way they're not meant for each other.
Let me tell you, I had a hard time deciding who to vote for. Both Will Roland and Will Connolly are great Jeremys, but I had to choose.
It was really close, but Will Connolly did win. I think his voice is perfect (and very pretty!), but Will Roland is a very expressive actor and does a great job. So I'm glad it was close rather than one getting a lot more votes than the other.
Thank you all for voting!

Hi! None of those fanarts up there are mine. They are all created by amazing, talented, decdicated artists. I love musicals and classics. I'm going though crazy hyperfixation phases.
